Is there a way to ROOT KK AOSP?

Is there a way to ROOT a custom KK ROM with Vanilla (AOSP ROM, like PA or CM)?
Or we just cannot ROOT 4.4 at all?
Thanks

How to get root on d80020c

OK so my first g2 got stolen, I filed a claim and the g2 shipped to my already has the KitKat update. I know that there isn't a root method for it yet so my question is can I downgrade using the method in the development then root with the method already known? Or do I have to just wait till a method is found for KitKat?

I've looked at that. It requires you to be on the last firmware and I'm on KitKat.

it has step by step to go back to stock 4.2, root, get recovery and flash like I said currently that is the only way for any device to keep recovery on kk(most devices with official kk and sources have got a specific rom to do so)

Kingo root MIGHT work but the Yemen tool is the only one I'm aware of that works

afaik, towelroot will not work on OB6/OF1 (5.x.x) stock ROMs. The vuln that it used was patched in those releases.
Correct me if I am wrong please.
