The root may only work on the firmware build number 4.4.2 G870AUCU1ANE4, as there is a limitation to the Towelroot and it may or may not work on any latest software updates ahead from June 3rd 2014. This means that the towelroot was only build on firmware builds not exceeding to the said date. If you forcefully do so, then it's up to you.

From there you may then manually install the SuperSU so you can update the SU binary. Grab it from Chainfire or at Play Store. If you need more tweaks, you can also install Busybox and Xposed framework. If you want to confirm that the root was properly installed you may then use the Root checker app from Play Store.

Step by step guide:


1.) enable the "Allow to install apps from unknown sources" by going to Settings>>Security and then check the box next to Unknown Sources.
2.) Open your phone's intenet browser, then type the website address towelroot.com.
3.) Tap the Lambda sign from the website to begin downloading the towelroot.apk
4.) Locate the towelroot.apk  run it then then  simply click the button called “make it rain”. Wait until it finishes and the phone reboot.
