Lol... Exactly. Root is just root. It's not a software for christ' sake. It's just kinda, making your phone "more on your control"

See there is nothing like versions of rooting. Rooting has only two parts visible as of user side. One is CWM app and the other one is SuperUser.
You can't mess up with CWM unless the Dev of your ROM Doesn't nod his head vertically.
So all you can do is Update Superuser to SuperSU.
PM me if you want to know more.
Time to pull your socks up.

[Q] supersu and superuser on the same phone

I unlocked my bootloader and installed a custom recovery. Then i intalled the supersu zip file and a custom rom. after that i found supersu and super user on my phone. Is it safe to uninstall one of them?

Yes it's safe to uninstall one of them but if you're not bothered which one you keep then I suggest uninstalling SuperSU.
I say that because I flashed back to a stock ROM a while ago and also flashed the provided rooting tools so that I could keep root access. Once I rebooted to stock, I installed SuperSU from the Play Store and decided to uninstall Superuser as I didn't need both of them on there.
Later that day I found out that I only had partial root access. I could use root apps like ROM Toolbox but I couldn't make any changes to /system.
In the end I reflashed the rooting tools so I could get Superuser back and everything worked perfectly again.
I'm not sure whether it was just a temporary problem with SuperSU or not but as long as you don't mind which you keep, that would be my advice

This happened because you flashed a stock ROM, with a stock kernel, which has write protection enabled.

Haha nor me. See I knew about the write protection on stock kernel right away which is why I figured I'd be fine with faux but it still didn't want to work.
Luckily it all sorted itself out in the end so I'm back using SuperSU again

Reports are that anyone that has used to "revert to MJ5" thread, is running into a failure between 25 to 27%.
This is likely the problem.

Further reports are saying that you will have to take it to an AT&T store or Sammobile in BestBuy to have them flash MJ5. Then you take the NB4 OTA and will be able to grab the KK OTA.

I had the same problem. After I reset everything to stock and even unrooted I still had the problem.(I think everyone who rooted has this problem) I just went to att device warranty center and swapped out my phone if they ask you whether you rooted your phone just say "no". Updating to Kitkat as we speak on my replaced phone.

They should be able to just flash 4.3 onto it?
Then again, why not just flash a 4.4.2 rom? You'd retain root, and it's basically the exact same hahahaha

Same here, not rooted and it got to 25% or so

To the people saying "I'm not rooted", WERE you rooted? I read somewhere else that could be the issue. I unrooted so I could update and it failed the same way as everyone else here. Please specify everything when you say you're not rooted. I read that someone who left their device rooted got it to update just fine but they lost root, which is to be expected but it did actually work for the guy. I'm going to reroot and try again.

FYI I was stock. Kingo root. Then safe strapped. Flashed azure in slot one. Hour later hit back to stock slot then deleted slot 1 azure proceeded to unroot and delete safestrap and wiped data reset so I figured I'd be ok. Update ota kitkat gets 28% fails. So..I'm watching. I decided f it and re rooted and am going to flash a Rom for sake of waiting to see what happens with this failure as I should very been completely stock.

Failed update at 27%
I would say the issue has to be on AT&T's end. I had issues with my internet so I soft bricked mine during the rooting process b/c the file was corrupted. Used odin to revert back to stock MJ5 and then updated to NB4. I have tried to wipe the data for the download manager within the app manager, wiped cache in recovery, did a factory reset after getting updated to NB4 and tried different working internet sources just to make sure.

It's a device issue. Certain files that should be there are gone and files that shouldn't be there are there.
It's not on AT&T's end. It's local to the device software itself

At&t Lg Flex D950 Upgraded to Kitkat with Root retained.

I have at&t LG Flex, rooted and than updated to kitkat, surprised was when it updated to Kikat and root was retained, I used all applications that require supersu and work like charm.
Follow this, If you did not upgraded root it with ioroot and don't unroot it, take OTA update and you will keep the root.
If you upgraded, downgrade it via lgflashtool method, root with ioroot and update ota and you will keep the root..Good Luck

Basically what I did was I rooted on JB and when KK update came, I removed root from superSu "unroot", I tried to upgrade to Kikkat and failed, so I did lgflashtool (you directed me by the way) and flashed it to JB, rooted again and kept the root and superSu..tried update from menu and went through and kept the root.

I was unable to try it out last night, ever since upgrading to kit Kat i can no longer choose which mode to connect (usb only, mtp, etc) so after flashing back the problem followed me which prevented me from running ioroot successfully. Luckily i had ordered a new flex yesterday from AT&T after their service center confirmed something was borked during the update, it'll be here Monday. Can't do anything till then.

So far it's only available for AT&T so that's nothing to "upload". Without recovery for these phones there's no way to create roms from kit Kat source

Is there a simpler way to upgrade from 4.3 to 4.4?

Now that we have root for 4.4, I'm planning to upgrade from 4.3 to 4.4, but I haven't come across any simple method to do it. Mazdamiata has a method to do it, but it requires downgrading to MJ5, which would be a huge inconvenience. My update fails at 27% even with all the original apps restored and unfrozen. I have Xposed installed and my device is rooted with Kingo. Any suggestions?

I'm with you! I sat down and wanted to upgrade to kit Kat but following those directions were not easy for me. I am now stuck on 4.3 until there is an easier way to get there. What stinks is there isn't even a YouTube video to show how to go back to mj5 and the upgrade

Isn't there any other solution to safely upgrade without reverting to MJ5?

here you go

Thanks, but it's not a simple method and has steps to install other components which increase the complexity.
Is the best way just to factory reset my device, retain the root and then try to upgrade?

Factory reset then upgrade to kit kat then root with towelroot

thats exactly what im currently trying. i went into tibu, did a batch unfreeze, then used kingo to unroot. restarted and am now downloading the update. hopefully it will get me up to kitkat and let me root again with towelroot.

Let us know if it works then all I have to do is unfreeze the updater apo and unroot with kingo

nope didn't work... it would download, then when it tries to install the update, it stops at about 24%, reboots and gives an error saying update interrupted.
I tried manually doing it also by putting the update file on SD card and applying in recovery mode... it starts, errors, and wiped my data....
the only way seems to be the harder way heh
