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.

Hey, so I am new to this group! Thanks for existing and being so willing to help!!
So here is my question, I want to root my GS4 but was not able to find good information on how to do so when running Android 4.4.2. I do not want to downgrade to 4.3 so please don't suggest that option. I also (obviously) don't want to brick my phone so a "safe" option would be nice.
My hardware again is a Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-i337, Android Version 4.4.2, Carrier AT&T, USA, and last three characters of the Baseband version is NB1.
Anyway, any tips, pointers, links or other help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Maybe. I don't know. I downgraded my phone after I updated to 4.4 because I didn't see much of a difference and I wanted to root and flash ROMs.

There's no hard wall, but devs are doing other things like Hash working on kexec and others looking into bootloader exploits and whatnot. May I ask why you don't want to downgrade? The method's been tested and simplified a bit, and you don't need ODIN every time you want to flash a different ROM or mod now.

Thanks for the quick responses! I just got the phone Tuesday (yes I know the s5 comes out tomorrow) and some how I missed that At&t decided to lock boot loaders. I guess at&t is jealous that a group of enthusiast and hobby programmers can produce awesome firmware and doesn't have their trash/bloatware. I'll probably give these a try soon. I think the stock firmware is okay but I do miss my root privileges and aosp/cm/aokp ROMS. Thanks again guys.

Good news... the guy who said there is no way to root 4.4.2 with SuperSU is wrong
Use towel root and then install supersu from market but don't open it yet... Now install terminal emulator open and type 'su' and supersu will prompt. Type into terminal emulator without the quotes of course, 'pm disable com.whateverknoxappnameislol' I can't recall the Knox app name off hand. When you finish close term emu and open SuperSU no and update binaries, then it'll prompt to disable Knox and it'll succeed. Reboot, uninstall Towel Root, and enjoy.

you can wait it out and see if someone comes up with a method (kingo, vroot) to root the 4.4.2
otherwise the 4.3 / flashing modified 4.4.2 is the only avail exploit

It would be 4.3. Verizon hasn't officially (as of this past second) released the OTA/Release for KitKat 4.4.2) yet.
This find was pure Gold.

Maybe this VIDEO helps you. It's for one sm-n900a.
Perhaps it would if i could find the corresponding files for the n900v. Any ideas where i can find them?
i found everything but this file:N900VVRUCNC4_N900VVZWCNC4_VZW.zip
Update
After some extensive searching i found the files and hope to attempt to downgrade according to video posted ^ with my SM-N900V. I found a great site for FW versions for anyone encountering this problem in the future: galaxynote3update
update
This method does not work on Verizon. I found the Verizon equivalent files and attempted this but got a SW REV CHECK fail when trying to download 4.4.2 FW. ATT must not have a version check in theirs. I have exhausted every method out there. Hoping someone comes up with a one click root for this configuration soon cuz not having root sucks
Did you ever succeed?
I just received a new Note 3 from my warranty company. I was hoping it would have 4.4.2 on it
but it has the same version as yours. I really could use root.
Any luck with your phone?

Upon further research I found out that if your phone is n900vvrudnk1 it is not compatible to root. It seems that sammy has us under lock-down for now. If we upgrade to the lollipop 5.0 will this upgrade boot loaders also?
I was wondering how to go about downgrading my N900v - I downloaded the Stock Kitkat Firmware and tried to flash with odin, keep getting a SW REV CHECK FAIL - [aboot] Fused 4 > Binary 1 error. Not sure what this means or what I am doing wrong. I want to go back to root, install a custom recovery, and then put a rooted Lollipop rom on. PLEASE HELP! I used the search function and no answer is clear cut. Now, I used Odin and all I am getting upon boot is: Your device didn't update successfully, use the verzon software repar assistant. Sorry for posting twice, posted in generic Note 3 thread and didn't know how to delete. Thanks in advance!

If you have android 5.0 on the phone you are stuck, you can't downgrade. Try flash 5.0 with Odin again maybe you'll be lucky and phone will start working again.

You can downgrade to 4.4.4, but 4.4.4 can NOT be rooted. So no...you have no way to get root for 4.4.4 or higher.

This is more locked down than an iPhone 6s Plus! (just jailbroke my wife's). I can't believe that no one has figured out how to root this phone in 5.0. I'd really like to start taking advantage of some of the great features on a rooted Note 3, and I don't care if it trips the Knox. I don't care about the warranty. Does anyone have any ideas about rooting this stock device that is on 5.0?

Of course tons of really smart people have tried rooting 4.4.4 and above. With or without tripping Knox. No one has been able to break the locked bootloader by any method. For all intents and purposes...it can't be done.

It sounds to me like the aboot qfuse counter changed which would mean that there's no going back to any previous FW. It was only a matter of time before they did it since the VZW S4 lollipop update did that.
We won't know until we get ahold of either the update.zip or the odin tar. I have 2 VZW S5's and both refuse to tell me there's an update available even when I Odin back to a stock FW.
Nice. That's what I hated about Apple. You own the phone, yet, still can't do what you want with it. Well, thanks for checking it out.

It's most likely more of a Verizon thing than a Samsung thing. Although with the 5.1.1 S5 update on T-Mobile, the kernel prevents rooting and T-Mobile phones are on unlocked bootloaders which means they don't care if you root or install a custom rom so maybe it is becoming more of a Samsung thing now.

the thing is, with Verizon, you can choose to not accept the upgrade a few times, but ultimately, it is forced on you...which is why I rooted my S5 the same week I bought it (to avoid unwanted 'upgrades')
