Having trouble rooting my MK888 / K-R42 / T-R42 / CS918 / EKB311 - PLEASE HELP!

Hello experts!

Please see the steps I took, and help me figure this one out:

1. Installed MoboRobo on my PC
2. Connected the TV box, and got it recognized
3. Closed MoboRobo
4. Launched TPSarky.bat and followed instructions
5. *At this stage I might have pressed the space key to reboot too early, for one of the three reboots
6. TPSarky completed its work (meaning the UID=0 GID=0, and SuperSU was pushed)
7. Device booted, SuperSU was there, but upon launching, it said there isn't an SU binary installed, and SuperSU can't install it


I tried several advices from different forums:

A. Pushing a different SU with another Superuser app, or different versions of the SU management apps
B. Pushing the SU to /system/bin and also /system/xbin
C. Using Fastboot to install a custom recovery (as I can't do it via the device itself) to update the SU with a flashable ZIP, but Fastboot didn't recognize the device (ADB does recognize it)
D. Using RK Batch tool / Android tool to install the custom recovery, but it said "Load firmware failed", with no matter how many different recovery *.img files I tried (CWM or TWRP)


So now I'm kind of stuck in a situation, where ADB on my pc confirms the device is rooted (UID=0 , GID=0), but the device itself behaves like it's not.
Any advice per how to handle this? Maybe there's a way to unroot by going back to factory settings, and run TPSarky from scratch? Maybe a step I'm missing to complete the root on the device?

Please please please advise, this is killing me...

Try wasser rom or roms already rooted. I've tried many ways to root my box on stock rom but all failed.
