After using sunshine how do i get root?

[droidusr2014]

Im currently running kitkat 4.4.4. on my ultra. I have searched and searched and can't seem to find a working root for my build on droid ultra. I am aware that there is a app called sunshine that unlocks your bootloader (for 25 bucks) but i have two questions regarding this. 1. when using sunshine does it erase all your data when unlocking the bootloader? 2. After unlocking the bootloader is there anyway i can get root on my phone? And if anyone knows of a way to root the ultra on 4.4.4 please feel free to tell me!

Thanks,

1. Sunshine did not erase data for me.

2. Follow this write up http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2645122 and install supersu through TWRP

Ok thanks for your reply. Sorry to bother you with one last question, so just making sure that sunshine won't take my data and it will work without problem on my droid ultra running Kitkat 4.4.4? And also after this I will be able to get root?

Sunshine doesn't work on 4.4.4 unless already rooted. Only 4.4.3 and below.

OK on sunshine there is a temp root option will that work? Or is there a way for me to get permanent root on 4.4.4....? although as far as I know there isn't a way to get root on 4.4.4

Thanks for the help,

By all means, let the app check for you, but the failure rate is pretty consistent on 4.4.4.
