Okay, I'm not sure what you flashed with Odin. Download twrp and flash the recovery img in the past, with everything unchecked. Once you boot into recovery you have to flash the root file in the twrp root kit on that site.

Go to thelink I posted. All the way right is a download column. Clck on the icon there.
You must be 100% stock to flash. Stock recovery, stock modem, stock build with no mods.
Flash from stock recovery, or Mobile Odin. NOT reg Odin.
Mobile Odin Pro is a very essy way to keep root.
Or use OTA rootkeeper. But if you factory resey during the process it may lose root regardless.
Also, remember this is untested by anyone here. And we have little info on it. Its most likely ok, but at your own risk and all!

OTA requires stock recovery, not custom recovery. It downloads, then but reboots expecting stock recovery.
Odin or Kies as mentioned above.

Yellow COM indication is an older (but usable) version like v1.85. You must have used v..3, where blue is the new yellow. It's ok.

You could try v. 1.85 Odin. It's in the CF Auto Root zip among other sources. Then there's the Samsung Kies instructions I posted above, if needed.

Indication of a bad download. You could try redownloading the update. MD5 & SHA Checksum Utility can save this trouble by checking downloaded files before attempting to flash.

Download the tar.md5 put the phone in download mode when phone off press & hold Home+Volume Down+Power, once in download follow on screen instruction to begin download mode, then plug the phone in.
Open odin, and select PDA, then select the philz file you downloaded and click start
