Even though you don't have su yet, you can make a cwm recovery of your phone.
To do that you first make a scatter file using droidtools (blockmap, create scatter).
To make thing easier, make a screenshot of that blockmap (it's easier to read than the scatter).
Next you use flashtools, with scatter loading open the previously created scatter file.
Now go to readback, enter a new line as this screen will be empty, double click the line to get to the input dialog, you should provide folder to save the ROM_0 file and then enter the starting address, which is 0 and the size which you should get from your screenshot of your blockmap where it says: cache, you read the value in the scatter column and enter that value in the size input field, be careful how you input this, if the value is like "003DE0000" you should enter 0x3DE00000, the 0x standing for hexadecimal value and everything after that should be exactly the same as in the scatter value but whithout the two leading 0's as this value cannot exceed 8 digits.
Double check the line in the readback screen to make sure all is correct, then do the readback. It will take about half an hour or so as this will create a nearly complete backup of your phones partitions (except for /system, /data and /cache).
Next go back to droidtools, connect your booted phone, it will show a yellow block as being able to have root but since you don't have su it won't respond to that. No problem though, just go to the root,backup, recovery tab, and click on To process file ROM_ from FlashTool. Now you input the file ROM_0 you created with flashtool, next it will ask you to automatically create a modified recovery, click yes, and after that it will process the ROM_0 file to create a modified recovery and boot.img. You have to look these up in your directory structure. The folder name will include "ForFlashtoolFromReadback", which is where you will find factory_NONmodified_recovery.img (which is your original recovery.img) and "xxxxx_nnnnnnn__recovery_nnnnnn-nnnnnn.img" where xxxxx will be the name of your phone and nnnnnn number corresponding to the date and time at which you made the ROM_0 file.
This last file is the one which contains your CWM modified recovery, and since it is made from the backup of your phone will work. You obviously need to flash that file (and only that one) to your phone using flashtools.
After that you will be able to do the rest of my post, and if that doesn't work (it depends on the kitkat version used) you can try to install the from chainfire. Upon execution it will ask you to update the su, asking for normal or cwm/twrp method, chose that last one, you may need to do it more times, just don't give up if it doesn't work the first time. Yesterday I did it on a new leagoo lead3 and it took some time but did work out.
