Hi there. Rooting has a bit more to it than installing SU from recovery. You should head over to original development and use the CF auto root method by chainfire. That should get you where you need to be. Just remember to reset your flash counter when you're done with triangle away. Hope this helps.

You need the supersu app instead of that superuser, especially if you are on Jellybean. You could download and flash it from CWM from here.
http://download.chainfire.eu/315/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.25.zip
Or, you could use CF root, but I don't think that it is necessary.

ok so went and used the tool kit and it worked like a charm. I just got my GS3 yesterday coming from my good old cappy. I'm gonna miss her! So Just a simple root will require Triangle away? I thought only flashing a ROM would tick the counter.

It was that way on older devices, but now the counter ticks when you use Odin, which is what the toolkit uses to root your device. Hope this clears up any confusion.

I think you can not root without a computer (because of all the ODIN stuff), but I guess ROMs can be installed using ROM manager. But using clockworkmod recovery seems easier.
You can't root without PC. Odin is the only way, my adhd girl can do this!

Rooting without a computer is the DUMBEST idea in the entire world. IF you screw up your phone, like most n00bs these days do, you will have NO WAY to recover your device without sending it in... not to mention no way to read XDA to discover what went wrong.

No need to install CWM from PC.
For this method you have to download 2 files (CWM.zip & SU-Busybox-Installer.zip) to you phone and you are ready to go.

This is to give root access, but to gain the abilty to flash SU to gain root access, you need ODIN and a PC. On the T989, it the only way to flash CWM. To summarize, SU is the saddle, but whats really important is the horse, CWM

Yeah thats right, even you can get a horse without PC. There is app called mobile odin which makes this possible. You can flash firmware with cwm using that, mobile odin requires rooted phone, which we did using prev posts.
I have su access with cwm installed on my phone without imcrease in flash counter and yellow exclaimation at boot.
I am planning to install good rom on this. Once I do it successfully I will try to put small tut on it.

Isn't half the point of the ROM Manager app to install a custom recovery? If you have root access, you can flash CWM through it. It's literally the first action listed when you open it.

Try rooting your phone again via Root66 that is much easier than that + its a updated version of rooting and am assuming that recently you just got your phone?
and if your gonna root it again go for the JB version the pre-rooted one.

Use this guide can't fail. Remember to unchecked reboot on Odin. Or you will never have root. Cause when it reboot it reflashes stock recovery u need to flash su before you let it reboot. So after you install cwr with Odin remove battery and boot into recovery and flash su. And ur good to go.

I just got a note 2 and I would like to know what's the best way to root my device without any problems?
If you just got it then I'm going to assume you don't have any important data!
Flash a stock rom with root injected! It's literally a stock touchwiz 4.1.2 rom with superSU. It always doesn't mess up your counter and you can get official OTAs from T-mobile.
The link is here.
What ungraph said. I ran mrRobinson's injected rom for about 7 months before I ended up on tweaked. It works pretty well.
Hastily spouted for your befuddlement

Some people use a Windows based app called kingoroot or king root...but there's an article on xda explaining the concerns with using it (I'll let you Google that if you're curious). So I went ahead and googled "how to root Sprint 4.3" and came up with this article:

Had no issues...and was rooted in a matter of minutes.
Just to cover my ass, this is not mine, I did not create this root method, credit goes to chainfire, and I'm not responsible for anything that happens to your phone.

Any root method will trip Knox (if it's installed) That's why you have to root, and remove the Knox files then flash the MK4 ROM so you're still on the MC2 bootloader (no KNOX), but will have the MK4 update.
Better instructions can be found in the Development section...just search for Lorjay's thread. He has it all written out...
