Root Samsung SIV issues. 4.4.1

Alrighty, so I've fallen off the face of the earth as of the last couple years with Android Dev since the Samsung SIV was supposedly unrootable. However, when I got it, I believe I used towelroot to attempt to root the device. It worked, however the lock on the samsung screen is unlocked. Rootcheck says I'm not rooted, but I can tap build and get Dev options enabled. I've been sitting on the lollipop update for a long time now since I can't do that either. So I'm pretty much in a stalemate with all options. Can someone help me attempt to figure which steps I take to either obtain real root and recovery, or factory upgrade to Lollipop, whichever is feasible.
