Problem with root

I rooted my phone and after the root I factory reset the phone however after the reset, the phone says its rooted but when I go into Need ROOT apps it will tell me my phone is not rooted, and the superuser app that shows up on the app drawer before I reset isn't there anymore, the phone is rooted as the root app says, anyone know what's going on here?

AT&T Kitkat update

I hope somebody can help me with this. My question concerns 2 S4s. One is rooted while the other is completely virgin stock. The rooted s4 won't even allow me to check for an update no matter how many times I try. The stock s4 will check but always says it's up to date. What can I do to fix this? I'm more concerned about the stock s4 since the update will break my root on the other. But I would be curious if there's an explanation as to why the rooted s4 is doing what it's doing.

The root won't let you check probably because of the modified system. For the other one, it's known that AT&T's OTA is kinda buggy and you pretty much need a full strength WiFi and cell network connection.

No I don't believe so... You need a computer for ioroot

The rooting procedure takes 1-2 minutes at most m8, see if you can find a computer @ your friends house.

OTA will fail if your are not completely stock (ROM, recovery, and pre-installed apps) just edit your build.prop and change everything that says OH1 to OK3. That will get rid of the update notification. It's just bug fixes, not an update to 5.1.1

Just wanted to say I did what you said, and bye bye pesty notification.. And it says software is up to date.. Thank you that was awesome..
