Rooting a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S4 running Android 4.4.4

I recently upgraded to Android 4.4.4 and lost root that I had with Android 4.2.2, and I tried rooting my phone using Towelroot, but when I hit the "Make it Rain" button it tells me "This phone isn't currently supported." So is their a way to root a T-Mobile S4 running Android 4.4.4 that doesn't change the Device Status from Official?
Carrier: T-Mobile
Model Number: SGH-M919
Baseband Version: M919UVUFNH7
Build Number: KTU84P.M919UVUFNH7

Update SM-G900F to 5.0

Hi,
Bought a Galaxy S5 which I'm struggling to update (preferably to a unrooted, stock UK ROM)
baseband: g900TUVU1ANCH
Model number: SM-G900F
Android version: 4.4.2
Build no: DONGCHAO.607
From the Samsung phone info app:
Bootloader:G900TUVU1ANCH
PDA VERSION:
G900W8VLU1AND1
CSC VERSION:
G900W8OYA1AND1
Latest Firmware:
Not found
Root existance:
Yes
Build no.
KOT49H.G900W8VLU1AND1 (Why is this different?)
I could be wrong but from the numbers above I think it's using a Chinese ROM which may be preventing me putting a UK ROM on there.
The model number in Android and the Samsung Phone Info app is reported as a SM-G900F, but when I restart the phone in download mode it's reported as a SM-900T.
Can anyone explain which ROM I should be using and how I get 5.0>?
thanks!

[q] samsung galaxy s4 sgh-i337 (assistance)

Hello to the community,
I need your help desperately cause i ruined my phone. Recently changed rom from 4.2.2 to 4.3 but it collapses all the time. Wifi dont open,keyboard collapse,etc.Phone dont allow me return to factory defaults and i cant install a new rom. I dont know how to find the right kernel and i messed up with odin. Please help me. My phone details are:
DEVICE NAME: SAMSUNG-SGH-I337
ANDROID VERSION:4.3
BASEBAND VERSION: I337UCUEMK2
KERNEL VERSION: 3.4.0-1921628 KST 2013
BUILD NUMBER: JSS15J.I337....
Go to sammobile.com, type in your phone model and download a stock ROM from there, and flash it with Odin.
If the phone is running a stock 4.3 bootloader, you may not be able to flash any stock roms from sammobile.com.
The forum for the s4 for AT&T is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-att
User has posted in the correct forum here
