Is there root for AT&T 4.4?
No there is not but in the at&t thread there is already a way so you can be rooted and have custom recovery

There is no way to root kitkat on any device without either unlocking the bootloader or reverting to a root able build of Android first.
Flashback
I've been looking into rooting the D80020 and I think you have to flash back to D80010 (for ATT) then you can root and (possibly) update to Kit Kat. I haven't done it yet but planning on it soon.
I just did that 2 days ago. Flashed back to 10d, rooted, flashed twrp with freegee and then flashed stock kk. All told, took me about half an hour. Now I'm rocking rooted kk, couldn't be happier with the phone.

I used the same thing for root. Cant use a custom recovery though, but since I just got the phone yesterday I'm cool with using stock for now.

use ioroot25 to root.
Then install https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=edu.shell.freegee_free and install TWRP.
reboot into recovery and install the rom.
Before doing anything download the rom from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2672931 and copy it to your phone.

So the question is in the title. Will the update brick or indoor my phone? If I wanted to install a rooted version does anyone know of a working mirror?
Thanks in advance.

From all the threads in general, it would seem the update does unroot your phone. Also from those threads it would seem flashing a custom recovery and, subsequently, the su zip will give you root back. I don't know of a pre-rooted version out yet.
i just upgraded to ics a little while ago using rom manager, i had to go back to stock 2.3.3 which unrooted my phone but did not lock the phone . I was wondering the same thing and that is how the heck do i root my phone now lol. my phone still shows the unlocked lock on the boot up screen under "Google" but i dont have SU permissions anymore. if I still have su.zip file and cwm can i just use fastboot and flash the img and su.zip ?
What if I don't have my original files to roll back to stock GB? I just downloaded the version Koush put up on his twitter...will that allow me to flash in CWM and update?

Download stock images from from manager then update to 2.3.6 then you can flash the one from koush's twitter.
Root will be lost after update. Currently flashing su.zip wont work. Still trying to figure it out.

We might just have to re*root when they release the info.

Let me ask you also, I'm currently running Alpha13 w/ Francisco.Franco kernel. Is the official that much smoother that I should lose my root?

I've heard about a android 4.3.3 update coming but I've rooted my Nexus 5 recently so I'm still kinda new to all this. I was wondering I would update to this when it comes out while keeping my Kernal and all that good stuff. Thanks!
read the stickies, the ota one will tell you all you need to know. As for me, I'm rooted, stock kernel, and custom recovery. I plan on flashing the next update in recovery.
also why do you want to downgrade to 4.3.3? when launched last november, this phone shipped with 4.4.

Don't be a ****. He obviously meant 4.4.3
Same. I am rooted with framework. So I uninstall framework from the app. Put flash file on nexus 5. Boot into recovery and flash as normal? Do I need to clear data and will I lose root?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
There's no need to wipe data. And, yes, you'll loose root, so just need to re-root it again
So I just flash on top of it? And would it not be hard to re-root because it's a new android version?

Once you're updated, you just need to flash the supersu zip again to gain root access.. No, it shouldn't be hard to re-root!

Geohot has found a vulnerability in the New ATT/VERIZON S5 and confirmed by users it works on our i337 ATT NC1 FIRMWARE ONLY. Check out his thread HERE http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2783157
I am ONLY relaying his great work here and have NOTHING to do with it. I just try to keep up with a few other phones when I think I may upgrade to. So I brought this here in case others were not following the Verizon/ATT S5 forums.

For this towelroot to work on the ATT S4 you need to be on NC1 firmware. It does not seem to work on MK2 or NB1.

Yes it works, you must download supersu or superuser from playstore yourself as it does not install it for you, also super su will fail to updat binarys, however root still works...I have already been able to modify my build.prop using es file explorer

If all you want us root than no, simply download the apk from the website, and click the bytton un the app...no computer required...possibly the simplest to use root method ever released for the s4

Not sure about safestrap...but definitely not twrp, twrp requires a bootloader exploit, this js just a root exploit...I would assume we are back in the same situation as mk2...root but no recovery except maybe safestrap...im not home at the moment so im not gonna risk softbricking my phone with safestrap

Safestrap just requires root, and since it works on 4.4.2 bootloader and such already then the process is now just root and Safestrap to get 4.4.2 ROMs.

I couldn't get it to work on NB1, but upgraded to NC1 and it worked fine. Safestrap however, is not installing. I tried pushing it to /system/app & /priv/app and setting permissions. It says it installs, but system status says it's not installed.
So after this, what is the new method of odining to stock, root, and recovery? Odin flash nc1> towel > safe strap?

I was able to get Safestrap installed.
Okay, I've ran this app...downloaded SuperSU and Superuser and still can't do anything root related...IE use titanium backup?
What am I doing wrong? ATT S4 4.4.2
Does this mean I can finally take the Ota updates and stop using mk2???!?

My phone was making me really mad because it was super slow, and could barely type anymore, I did everything so I factory reset and flashed a rom.
My wifi no longer works, and I'm not sure what to do next. I just want my phone to be usable again.
I just flashed MOAR Rom, and Wifi is still not working.
If you are using Safestrap, download the VRUCML1 kernel modules from the Safestrap thread and install those when you flash a custom TouchWiz rom.

Thanks for the reply but I managed to brick it and then I got it back to stock using Odin. Now Safestrap doesn't work and I just downloaded 4.4, I always screw up stuff like this. I only have 5 months left with my phone so It doesn't really matter. Perhaps there will be a way to root on 4.4 one day.

I have an unlocked and rooted Nexus 5 on 4.4.4 KTU84P running a stock image that was updated OTA.
I've been getting the OTA update all day but it keeps failing to install. The error says there is an issue with the file in the /cache/ folder. I've been able to update OTA in the past until this version.
I wouldn't mind just using Nexus Root Toolkit to update but to do that don't I have to unroot and wipe the device? I just want to update without wiping the device.
Is it possible?

The tool kit will probably return you to stock and wipe your device. Skip the tool kit. Just flash the stock recovery in fastboot. If you don't know how see @rootSU's sticky in the general forum
