I don't know much about rooting.I just flashed TWRP and then flashed cm 13 ROM. And there is nothing like superuser or supersu in ROM.
just look at this link : "http://forum.xda-developers.com/samsung-a-series/development/galaxy-series-cf-auto-root-t3280406"
it should help you,but I still think that you are already rooted if you have custom rom. I never installed a custom rom on a nonrooted phone and I don't know if it is possible.
Cm has its own root. Enable it in developer settings.

Hi Guys,
As you can see, I am new to this site. My phone is S4 19505. Yesterday, I tried to root my phone and that was a succes. Problem began when I want to install kernel for longer battery life. I have installed kernel from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2297379 and I have chosen Touchwiz KitKat 4.4 version. After I flashed this kernel my s4 is not starting. It just stuck at first screen "where we get first white letters samsung galaxy s4".
I have no idea what to do now.
Can anyone please help me?
Advance thanks.

Are you using cmw or twrp? I believe your stock rom is 4.4 kitkat

twrp. I dont know what you mean by stock rom because this is my first time I did. My device is running 4.4.2. and I chose for kernel 4.4 version of tw.
I think that you have to re-flash a new rom. Then, you have to retry installing root and the kernel.

I agree with msmlz, if you have nandroid restore it or download the firmware in sammobile and reflash it and before flashing the custom kernel again, read the thread, see if someone face bootloop like you. Hope someone with experience on it could help you, I never install custom kernel, just update the last stock kernel on my rooted stock rom.

To flash a Custom ROM there is no need to root, the only thing you need is to install a custom recovery, TWRP is very good. After you have installed TWRP or any other custom recovery, you have to put on your SD Card the ROM that you want to install, and install it from the custom recovery.

If your bootloader is locked, and I believe it is since the phone is probably running a stock rooted 5.01 ROM, you cannot install a custom recovery which means you cannot flash any custom ROM that is not based on a stock touchwiz ROM.

Can we downgrade to a version before lollipop and flash custom roms ?
Nope, downgrading is not possible. You'll be limited to using safe strap to flash tw based Roms. Cm and aosp Roms are not possible.
No, you can't down grade to anything you could flash a custom recovery to. Look into safestrap.

As in the guide "the keep root method for OK2" clearly stated that the lowest you can downgrade the ATTS4 is kitkat NB1.
Since you are on OK2 bootlaoder and want to install the custom rom I suggest you need to find the OK2 based TW custom rom.
Because the bootloader is locked, you can not install the custom recovery like TWRP. You are stuck with either safestrap or flashfire.
I recommend to use the flashfire since safestrap is too tricky to work with lollipop. With flashfire you can flash tw based custom rom in the lollipop.

CM based ROMs, such as crDroid, are already rooted. But root has to be activated from the developer options.
Alternatively, you can flash a SuperSU zip.
