I didn't watch video. I had my phone rooted and running extreme Syndicate rom on NE9 then new nha was released. So I flashed stock NE9 and took ota then flashed NCG kernel, rooted then flashed nha kernel.

Week later NI2 was released and I was rooted on stock NHA, so I took NI2 OTA flashed NCG kernel, rooted with towel root, and finally flashed back to NI2 kernel. Thus rooted on NI2 4.4.4.. Visit xda forums for further help
