I have searched the topic and only found this... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2717175
Can I go from MF3 Hyperdrive rom 4.2.2. to a 4.4.4 custom rom or 4.3.X custom rom?
I really don't see any advantage still being on MF3. As far as I see, your best bet is to Odin flash the towelrootable version of NB1, root using towelroot, put selinux in permissive mode, install safestrap 3.72 and install a KitKat ROM from the big list of Roms available.

will this NC1 update already be rooted and have SS installed? Or is it a zip with those files included to utilize during the aforementioned update process?
Zip file containing the updated SuperSU, SELinux mode changer, SS 3.72, Towelroot, and NC1 kernel modules can be found here.

When towelroot was initially released, only NC1 was rootable. We do not have the full firmware for NC1 but we do have for NB1 and that could be updated to NC1 using the update zip.
We now have a odin flashable firmware based on NB1 that is rootable with towelroot. So, there is no real need to update to NC1.
When flashing roms with safestrap, you would have to flash a zip containing the wifi modules based on the kernel you are using. If you have the NB1 firmware, you flash the NB1 kernel modules.
NB1 kernel modules can be obtained from the Deadly Venom Kitkat Magic tool thread. Download the NB1 version, extract and you should see a "AT&TNB1KernelModules.zip" file.

There is no direct root method for kitkat. You will need to downgrade to MK2 and install a prerooted ROM.
Follow the Deadly Venom Kitkat Magic Tool thread for further instructions.
Although the instructions in the thread is for NB1, it is still applicable to NC1 too.
EDIT: You need to flash the NC1 kernel modules along with the rom. The modules zip can be downloaded from post #1520 of http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=52231544

You have to downgrade to MK2, root and then install safestrap v3.72. The steps to downgrade is given in the tool thread.
You flash the custom rom from safestrap recovery. The tool thread would have mentioned flashing the NB1 kernel modules along with the rom. You would instead flash the NC1 kernel modules. The rest of the steps would be as per the tool thread.
Im at stock att 4.3 JB firmware with MK2 bootloader.
I wish to use safestrap to install a rom (maybe GE rom or just normal TW rom)
if after I install the loki modules and my rom boots will I lose my Tmobile unlocked status since this is an att phone.
also, do I have to odin flash a modem.bin for new 4.4.2 android version or can i just simply install a 4.4.2 rom and be good with current radio or modem?
Since your are on MK2, no more Loki.
You won't lose unlock status.
Search for the all things at&t thread, it has lot of required info.
All you need for the ROM to work with T-Mobile would be the correct APN settings.

Im so confused because safestrap forum says i need to retain to a MK2 based rom but in the Goldeneye thread it says added support for safestrap

Also am i restricted to only TW roms i have the US i337 att phone

Let me clear some confusion of yours.
While on MK2, safestrap recovery can be used to flash 4.3 based ROMS.
We have Deadly Venom Kitakat tool that allows us to flash certain kitkat roms from the All Things ATT thread.
You will be able to flash the Golden Eye 33.3 safestrap edition. Follow the steps mentioned in the tool.
Helping out a friend with an S4 with on NB1. Phone has been sitting for a while. He wants me to set it up with a custom rom or at least root it. Have dabbled with the Verizon S4 but never with the AT&T version.
Can the bootloader be unlocked on NB1?
If not, an you go back to an older release to unlock the bootloader?
Is there a prefered root method for NB1?
Is there any benefit in staying with Nb1 vs taking the OTA?
Thanks

The bootloader stlll cannot be unlocked on ATT S4. We still have a working recovery "safestrap". Safestrap doesnt replace existing stock recovery but is available during normal boot mode through a splash screen on bootup. Use safestrap version 3.72 or 3.75 and flash into stock slot itself. In case of issues, the phone can be recovered by Odin flashing the full NB1 firmware.
NB1 is not rootable. The next version NC1 is rootable with "towelroot". The latest NI1 is not directly rootable but can be rooted by Odin flashing the NC1 kernel.
You can manually update to NC1 and root.
There are a large number of ROMS that can be flashed on I337 including google play edition ones. AOSP/AOKP roms dont work though.

So the easiest would be to Odin to a stock NC1 and you towelroot.
Any links to the stock NC1?
Thanks

We do not have odin file for both NC1 and NI1. There is an update file that can be used with "adb sideload" to update your phone. How to update to NC1 is there in the link I provided.

I tried towelroot to see if it works. It worked without a hitch. So I guesss the newest version works with NB1.
Thanks

I have a new unlock ATT Galaxy S 4 And would like to root it. ( don't care about warranty) I want to get rid of the "caned apps". Stock rom is fine just need an easy method.

I hope this is enough information​
on NB1, you should be able to root with TowelRoot. See Odin to Stock, Updating, Rooting, and Safestrap Guide post #2, section 2 HOW TO GET TO ANY KITKAT 4.4.2 (NB1, NC1, NI1) OR 4.4.4 (NJ4, NJ5) BASE, Step 3 Root and Install Safestrap. Everything you need is there. Essentially, flash NC1 kernel, root, flash NB1 kernel. Follow the directions.

If I use TowerRoot Do I still have to use Odin?

Yes. You use Odin to flash the NC1 kernel in order to root with TowelRoot, and then you use Odin to flash back the NB1 kernel so your NB1 system will boot. Please read the guide. The instructions are all there.
I found my easy method and rooted my Samsung SGH-I337ZKAATT, KitKat 4.4.2, Kernel 3.4.0-505595, build number KOT49H.I337UCUFNB1 phone. You can search web for " Root I337UCUFNB1 AT&T Galaxy S4 4.4.2 KitKat Firmware Without Tripping KNOX counter". Afterwards I installed Titanium Backup just to see if it would work and it did. ( I got SuperSU .apk from it's website not the play store and ran it from my SD card.)
I managed to brick OC4 on AT&T S4 while trying to restore thru kies.
I can get into download mode. What can I flash to get back to a stock installation?
Thanks.
Follow this guide: [GUIDE]Odin to Stock, Updating, Rooting, and Installing Safestrap
Basically, you will need to flash back to NB1 base, and then upgrade from there, depending on your intended target. There are a couple of other threads you might be interested in reading that are in the general forum.
