Sarge, are you sure about that? CF Autoroot installs a 4.1 recovery. Isn't having a non-stock recovery causing OTA updates to fail?
You can revert to stock recovery after you have rooted though.
When you get the OTA update you can (supposedly) use CF Root again to root the 4.3.
Yes Ranger ....sorry...
If you've got 4.3 then CF will give you the 4.1 3e recovery...and of course the step will fail....
If you are on the ATT version of the device with the 4.1.2 original rom then it will work..
The threads are getting mixed heavily with 4.3 official rom questions ...which we obviously don't have ....and this old guy gets them confused....
However ...
Since CF is modified for use with different carriers ...
Chainfire may have updated files for the 4.3+ users ...
I don't use them ...but it's worth a look ....g

Are you currently on build UVALEM? If so would you be willing to make a copy of the update.zip for me? It should be located either in /cache/fota or /data/fota
Honestly the easiest (and in my opinion the best) way to get to the latest official build UVALH2 and keep root is to flash MrRobinsons root66 version with odin or mobile odin.
Though if you just want to use the ota then you first must be full stock, no mods no removed bloat, etc. Then get voodoo ota rootkeeper and preserve root, reboot to stock recovery and flash the ota. Then reboot and restore root.
Alternatively, you can flash with mobile odin pro and itll inject root during the process. (Dont do this if you have modded build.prop for wallet). You dont need to meet the stock requirements this way.

As long as you have stock recovery and you didn't flash any custom ROMs you could just update from the zip provided in the forum. You have to be bone stock . put zip on external SD card and flash it you will lose root but there's a way to get it back if you read the threads. Good luck i already updated and have no plans on going back.

I want to Root my wife's Sprint Note 2. I recently updated her phone to 4.3 through KIES. I have been searching for about an hour now and I don't see the best way to root this phone. I have read up on the Kingoroot and Chainfire methods. Neither one are very specific on if they work with the 4.3 update.
I really don't care at all about tripping the Knox counter, I just want the phone to be rooted with custom recovery. I am sure the answers are there, I just don't think I am using the right terminology to find my answers.
Kingoroot works fine. I along with many others have used it. For custom recovery just use odin to flash what you want. There is a guide on what knox files you should remove. Louforgivenot is the op of it. It is either in general or q&a

Thank you for the info...I had a feeling that was the way to go! One more quick question, can I flash a 4.1.2 rom after rooting?
You dont need to even root to flash a rom just odin the recovery. Bootloader and baseband/radio from mk4 work with all roms i have tried touchwiz and aosp.
FYI DONT ROOT 4.3 IN RECOVERY.

Hi, guys. I wanted to write a post, but since i'm a new member, i'm writing a thread here instead. The thread i wanted to reply is:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2294005
I wanted to let somebody know (because it helps some folks) that i used CF-auto-root, and i have successfully rooted my phone.
More details that may be helpful or useful are following:
*Everything was fine until 4.2.2 (JB); then, my stupidity kicked in, and MANUALLY upgraded OTA to 4.3;
*I noticed this CF-auto-root, tried it, perfectly rooted my phone. And YES, i tripped the Knox warranty...
*At some point, i unrooted my 4.3 (JB) so that i can manually upgrade to KitKat when it's released;
*Successfully upgraded to 4.4.2 (KK) OTA on Mar 10;
*I couldn't find any info about "safe root" for 4.4.2, so i chose CF-auto-root instead (i tripped the flag, so i didn't care);
*I took the same steps for rooting 4.3 and it "worked". Initially verified with Root Checker Basic;
*However, SuperSU seemed to be "missing", and i DL from the store, and it opened fine (I didn't know SuperSU can be DL from the store)
This is my story, and i'm sticking to it
cf auto root work fine on my m919 4.4.2
It doesn't show up anymore in the app drawer. I don't have supersu in my app drawer, either. And, I'm definitely rooted. Sounds like you are, too.

I'm kinda lost what ROM your phone is at right now... Sounds like you are on 4.3 with CWM recovery, if I read right. But like I said I got lost
If on 4.3, flash the stock recovery

Or
You could just flash this via ODIN and remove root

If you truly on stock 4.3 with only custom recovery then flash the stock recovery.
The second one is full stock with only root. Root can be uninstalled. But until the update comes out don't think we're going to really know what state phone needs to be in.
