casual method for at&t galaxy s4

My at&t galaxy s4 is rooted, so can I use the CASUAL method to root it again and have twrp, then flash custom rom?
Will this brick my device?
Thanks .

I don't think that would be a problem but just to be safe go back to your stock GS4 version and start over.

Why not just follow the directions in the OP? Quick and easy.

I did this without issue.

Apologies

Actually I am really not familiar with all the terms (MK2, Safestrap recovery etc. Is MK2 the Baseband version? In mine it says I337UCUAMDL).
I have been trying to search and learn how to do this properly and what I exactly need, with no great success.
I did find this:
http://androidxda.net/install-android-4-4-2-kitkat-i337ucufnb1-on-att-galaxy-s4-sgh-i337/
Is it what I need (upgrading to KitKat)? And do I have to ROOT before (I haven't done it in the past, and actually don't know how).

You are on mdl firmware, do not upgrade your firmware!!! Use this on how to root and how to put a custom recovery on. You can use twrp or cwm custom recoveries http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42320391

Does it apply to Bell model as well using the same firmware?
Mind you I337MVLUFNI2 is 4.4.2, is that still ok, or do we need safestrap?

Thanks, that works for Canadian i377m with 4.4.2. Any recommendation of a stable ROM? Does the 'fringe' features(thermo meter, ir blaster, etc.) of the s4 work on non touch wiz roms like cm or aosp?

Only ir works and with certain apps

I would say stick with tw if you use the tw features try @iB4STi tw Roms with @Alucard24 touchwiz kernel what I used for the longest time using cm12 unofficial ATM but if you don't care about tw features then liquid smooth, carbon rom

Thanks! One last question, I think.
The up to date ROMs here are mostly for safestrap, if it doesn't specify that it works for our phone (bell s4) I probably should not flash it?
Some do say it can be flashed with non-safestrap(twrp) but we need to flash our carriers kernel after.
How can we make a back up of it (the kernel that I have on my phone right now) and make it flashable from twrp?
Thanks again!!

You can't or at least I don't know how... But there are touch wiz kernel that will work alucard or ktoonsez have best kernel for our phone @s3nr1
Also check in 19505 s4 thread thats where I find all my Roms that are aosp for touch wiz look in i337m/att s4 section.

Also you can backup your stock rom with twrp and flash what ever you want then restore the stock back up after to go back
