HELP trouble with root

I had an s4 with ota 4.3 mk2 installed and Knox already tripped. I rooted it using cfauto root, flashed cwm and flashed virgin ROM 3.1. The phone works awesome but I no longer have root for some reason. When I click on superSu it tells me that the binary is not installed.

Do you have an att phone or Canadian, because att 1337 cannot have cwm at 4.3.

4.4.2 downgrade

so i took the 4,4.2 ota but ive read that root is not out for it yet, but still only certain recoveries and roms will work.
is there a way i can downgrade then install a recovery to flash an aosp/google play edition 4.4.2 rom?

There are plenty of threads with information in the general section, including a thread convienently named All Things MK2 And NB1. Make sure to check that and read more before asking questions unless you're on an I337m, in which case you can disregard anything I've said ;P

[Q] Any way to root AT&T S4 on NC1 4.4?

Missed android so I traded my iPhone 5 for an S4. It was already updated and on NC1. Need root for an app that I use at work a lot through the day. Can someone either guide me step-by-step or give me the links to do it? Thanks in advance.

Look in the general forum for index, all things mk2, nb1. Treat nc1 just like nb1. You'll have to down grade, install safestrap and then flash a rooted rom.

There is no direct root method for 4.4. So, you have to follow Deadly Venom Kitkat Magic Tool.
Using the tool, you would first partial downgrade to MK2, root using saferoot and install safestrap 3.72 (the only working recovery for us). Using the remain steps in the tool, you should be able to flash any ROM of your choice from All things ATT thread
