Root [International] Have I permanently lost root ?

Hi all.

I have an i9505 on 3 UK that has been rooted for over 6 months. I've been running the excellent TW based Echo Rom but wanted to try an ASOP rom but quickly wanted to revert.

I tried to restore my Nandroid but this failed and screwed up the phone (dont ask)so back to ODIN and i flashed back to stock 4.4.2 firmware for the UK via Sammobile (NG8)

Now back to square 1 so attempted to reroot with CF Autoroot again via ODIN. all show pass and i get the black screen on the phone with the red android logo and line stating stock recovery restored. I then used ODIN to flash Philz recovery again shown as Pass, however when i try to get into recovery i get some small white text on the bkack background that is there too briefly to read before the phone reboots as normal.

The Su superuser app is there but states the Su binary is outdated and the phone has no root access.

Ive read a few methods to get round this but they all seem to follow the same process ive tried a few times now.

The Rom for Echoe is auto root so id have thought if i could get to recovery somehow i could just flash this ?

Any one any views or have i screwed up for good ? .
