You need a newer version of TWRP to flash 4.4 Rom

Last one is 2.6.3.1

SuperSU says.....There is no binary installed, and super SU cannot install it. this is a problem! if you just upgraded to android 4.3 you need to manually re-root. Any clues on what to do?

It wouldn't matter because you've already tripped the warranty bit.. but that is how you reset the count before 4.3..

Glad it all worked out.

For reference, Recovery Log is stored in /Cache/Recovery folder.
