S4 I337m, Cannot root 4.3

Hey guys,
I updated my I337m Telus to 4.3 and since have been unable to root using CF or motochopper. I have tried using terminal but to no avail. Superuser sometimes will install and sometimes won't. When it installs it won't grant root priveleges. I'm on MDJ at the moment. Am I doing something wrong?
Any help would be appreciated.

You screen shows you are on 4.2.2. Are you on 4.3 or 4.2.2 ?

Have you tried Kingo to root ?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2473747
Also why not just root on 4.2.2 and then flash a 4.3 stock rom and not take the update ?

I have tried kingo but to no avail. Also tried the second method but after flash to 4.3 I cannot access root privileges. Have tried completely restoring to factory and then repeating procedure step by step. Nothing. Any suggestions are appreciated thanks.

Bump..Still can't do it guys. :/

[q] sm-g900v root

I'm looking to root a Verizon S5 running 4.4.4 (G900VVRU1ANK2). I updated to 5.0 and didn't want it so I flashed back, but towelroot doesn't work for this version either. Is there a way to step it back to 4.4.2 and it work? Thanks!

Download this, flash via Odin, then root again. You will be on NGC, 4.4.2

NJ6 was I believe an update that came out after 4.4.4. I believe 4.4.4 came out as a specific version and then a minor update to 4.4.4 came out which is NJ6. The radio from that upgrade is available somewhere around here to be flashed.
EDIT: I was wrong I believe. NK1 is the newest 4.4.4 build. NJ6 was the 1st 4.4.4 ROM out. NK1 was an update to that.

Thanks for clearing that up.

Any new news in NJ6 rooting yet

No

What if I flash to an earlier build first, like MJE or something? Shouldn't that allow root access?

bootloader is locked preventing you from going back.

Nothing past 4.4.2 can be rooted, you cannot downgrade to an earlier version to root.

But if you are rooted at 4.4.2 there is a way to get to 5.0 directly and stay rooted. I do not know how but somebody I just saw in this forum said he did it.

[Q] 4.4.2 rooted to Lollipop

Hi guys,
I'm trying to figure out how I can install Lollipop for my SM-N900V which is rooted with TWRP and Safestrap on Baseband N900VVRUCNC4 and Build number KOT49H.N900VVRUCNC4. I've looked into ArayaMod and Jasmine but I'm super confused about how to go about the install. Do I need to flash stock 5.0 via Odin and then flash a custom ROM? Do I need to install from an SD card?
I'm pretty discouraged and I'm almost ready to just flash the stock 5.0 and lose root privileges if it's possible.
I hope this doesn't seem too vague but if someone could just point me toward a decent thread or video to give me some direction I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks,
Jeff

Are you just wanting to install a stock 4.4.4 KK ROM or a custom KK ROM? I may be able to get you where you want. Just need to know exactly what you're wanting

I want to be rooted on 4.4.4 so my apps work again. I just dont remember how to get there. Its been a year since I last rooted my phone. Like I said, right now im rooted on NK2 4.4.2
Thanks for your help.
