Question about Stock Firmware Flash to restore GPS, then CM11 Flash



Hi all,

Just a quick question that I hope should be an easy one.

I've been using CM11 on my Samsung GS4 for about 2 years. Love it. Updated to the most recent nightly etc. Pretty okay with flashing and things, but since I flashed CM11 originally I lost my GPS, which at the time was fine. Didn't really care.

Now Pokemon Go has come out I want to sort my GPS out. So I looked a few things up and people say that Stock Firmware Flash fixes it. I've backed up my apps with Titanium and made a backup on my SD card of the current CM11 version I'm running so everything is fine.

My question is; Will flashing the Stock Rom actually fix the GPS? Can I flash the Stock Rom via recovery, or do I need to use Odin and then reroot? Will it retain root? If I get a fix with the Stock Rom, should I just reboot into recovery and flash the nightly I'm on right now, or can I recover my backed up file from recovery?

I hope this all makes sense and this should be a pretty simple yes/no answer.

Thanks in advance (:
