I finally got mine rooted. Do everything in this post. I was able to remove KNOX and finally get my damn phone rooted! This was used to root my wife's Sprint Note 2 with the OTA 4.3 update. here
is the complete thread if you want to see it all. The link I posted first is the 3rd post from that thread.
Doing those steps WILL FIX your issues with not being able to root your Note 2.
I actually boot looped my wife's Note 2 in the process, so if you do brick/boot loop it, then follow these instructions. That put the phone back to the OTA 4.3 stock version. I had to put my wife's SD card into my phone and add the files to her SD card (provided in the link I just posted) to get it to work. Me being an idiot is how I boot looped her phone. This was the ONLY way I could get it to work... and I tried so many methods I found here, youtube, and online.
Good luck gentleman! Let me know if I can help you anymore!
baseband version
i was wondering if the baseband version could have anything to do with it (im still new to rooting) i have L900VPUBMK4 on my phone but when i looked around in other places i noticed people having L900VPAMK4 is there a difference an could this be why mine wont root
i will try your method above an thanks so much for posting this i will let you know of my outcome
oops miss spelled the baseband version i have LP900VPUBK4 but others have L900VPAMK4
tried

I tried this but when i did the kingo software it immediately asked me to grant supersu an had a button on bottom of kingo that said ok so i look at my phone but no supersu so i still kept going thru the process an then noticed in kingo where its suppose to say what phone type is connected it says samsung device an from seeing it on other sites of people connecting there devices it had there device names reconised so not sure if its not doing that correctly for my phone or what but after running the software which frozen for awhile when it came to the part that said checking root an then it said waiting for device for awhile an then stopped an said root failed
i cant even get passed step one
I finally rooted my note 2
i tried cf's method an im not sure what went wrong but something did an it wouldnt root so i then tried kingo but at first i noticed that when connecting my note to kingo it just said samsung device it didnt reconize it fully to it saying samsung sphl900 so i knew something wasnt right an then after trying to root it failed so i then noticed that in download mode it said it was customized so i downloaded USER_L900_SPT_MC2_to_MK4_Update_FWD an used odin an then opened the download again on my phone an it finally said samsung official so i then went back to kingo an it did reconize my phone an it did finally root it ,,, im new to rooting an not sure if this will actually help anyone but its what i went thru to get mine rooted an thanks to everyone that has helped me

I had the same issue and fixed it like this -
1. Installed ES File explorer and open it.
2. Press Menu on the phone and scroll down and turn ON Root Explorer and hit Back.
3. Choose Device from the top menu (dropdown)
4. From the bottom menu, choose search and search for super and you should see superuser.apk.
5. Choose that and install it.
From there you should be able to disable KNOX and open SuperSu

I tried this to no avail, getting error message 'Application not installed'. The thing is, when I go into the Play Store it says SuperSU IS installed but I only have the option to open it. There is no 'update' option available like I keep reading everyone suggests to do to fix this problem. And when I attempt to open SuperSU, I get the error message 'Unfortunately, SuperSU has stopped' followed by the KNOX security notice 'Unauthorized access to a secured area has been blocked'.

Same.
Everyone I figured out a simple solution to this. I got my phone back on the 13 from replacement. On the 16 I tried to root for the first time. And KNOX led me into a panic. Reading all the forums and knox blocked every attempt I made, but I neat that ***** into the ground.
1. Get some kind of file Explorer and find the SuperSU apk.
2. ReInstall that bad boy.
3. Immediately after install a message will appear asking if SuperSU can try to disable KNOX.
4. Click it quickly, if you don't knox will try to block it again.
5. You should now have KNOX out of the way. You should now be free to delete that slut!
I chose system app safe remover and searched for all files with KNOX and deleted it. I feel you could probably kill it with any root explorer and know the files you are looking for.

For further clarification, simply clicking on it did not work for me. It gave me an "There is a problem parsing the package."
If you long press on the file then select More from the bottom menu then select Install, it will install properly.
Just wanted to clarify for anybody else who ended up with that issue.
It worked!

This worked for me. Once I reinstalled the SuperUser APK, ES asked for access and everything else fell into place. Thanks!
use esfile to solve it

I got this done by the following:
1. Do exactly as aforementioned instruction, untill you find superuser.apk
2. Hold your finger on that apk icon untill a little squre show up that you can mark it
3. Find "more"(my is at the right lower corner of the screen), choose it and find "install" on your right.
4. Then install.
I dont know why this apk can be installed through es file, basically it still needs to Android to run the installation, yet it works in this way.
have a try and good luck
I keep having to go back into the file explorer and installing it. It will work for a while then out of the blue it pops up and says it has quit. I am very skeptical to try and go through the flash process to install a different ROM. Currently bone stock 4.3 eff bomb. Any suggestions?
JD
Try and use ODIN to flash TWRP then flash @billard412 to get back to MC2 stock, it will remove KNOX and reset flash counters, if any. Then ODIN TWRP again since it will re-install the stock recovery you can then flash the MK4 kernel, WIFI Fix and MK4 ROM of your choice.

Ok....since you tripped KNOX you cant get rid of that but its ok if you are not returning your phone (maybe out of warranty?) then just ignore it.
Flash away!
Ya the warranty didn't mean squat...I went ahead and tried the SGS3 JELLYBOMB VER 20.0.0.MD5 and it went with no problems. Haven't got the SuperSU has stopped since flashing. Thanks for the encouragement here. So far so good.

hi everyone i dont know if anyone here has a fix for this posted here but today i will be letting you know how to fix it and i am sorry if i offend someone by posting this but i like to help people and i belive it will work with any rooted phone but not sure so if it doesnt it work i am not held resposible for somthing you tryed but i am nota pro but this really works
so lets get started
1st: on the market there is a couple apps
2ed:
A.called su binary fix - didnt work for me but try it out
B.busybox installer - onece again didnt work for me but yet again try it out
3ed: last but not least the one that worked for me manully update it through your recovery mode
go here to get the zip file -------> www.androidsu.com/superuser/
download the one you need then boot recovery and then just flash it
then there you go your superuser binuary should be at 3.1.1
i hope this helps and thank you to the one who posted the files online lol
LOL- searched for that !
I do have to say Thank YOU-:good: Funny thing; superuser has been a bad app to me lately < bear in mind, of course, I have no clue what I'm doing and hold NO one responsable for my actions > I had finally figured how to root the phone (1st android interaction on my part, free-searched everywhere). Then, no recov opt's, etc. according to su- as you posted, it was playing a little screwy. So as I'm reading your post, I plugged it in. Lo and behold the su binary went through and updated. I saw the screen "that was cool, do it again". I said "woo-hoo"- don't care if thats corny, anything gets me psyched at this point! Still don't know if that will help- to be honest, i'm unsure of what my next step was and why I was doing that.
So Thank you, I'll know to try this if what I had was a fluke.:silly: yes, lots of silly faces, can't help- i'm excited. I'll tone it down on my next post!

Binary Update
Hello Folks,
Forgive me but I searched the forums and could not find any posts dealing with my problem.
I recently rooted my phone, Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4 i545 version 4.4.2, build i545vrufnc5 using Towel Root and used Root checker to verify. Root checker states it is rooted and I am using SuperUser Elite v3.1.3 however the outdated binary notification shows outdated binary (-rwxr-xr-x is in red) and when I tap to update I get the message "downloading manifest...... fail!? When I then hit "try again" I get "unfortunately superuser has stopped" and it closes. I also downloaded SU Updater and ran it, no help. I also have Busy Box and Root Explorer and Titanium Backup installed. su binary shows v1.99:supersu (0). There are no apps showing in su and I get no prompts when adding new apps to allow or deny? I am new at this and really ready to unroot and say the heck with it. I seen several posts about downloading a zip of the file and saving to sd card. Do I need a zip program first and how do I move it to the sd card if that is the case? I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling several times to no avail. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
J-
not working on my tab
installation aborted
ok here is what i have done and need to know how to get it working again,
i had stock root before the new 4.3 update. flashed a stock rom to the phone to get rid of root so i could get the ota for 4.3. worked fine and got the ota. then i flashed the cf auto root for this device and for the 4.3 and it installed fine via odin. but here comes the problem,
everytime i do something that requires root i get that damn knox warning saying something has tried to access areas of the phone that is not alowed.
i have searched and searched how to diable knox? but i cant even find the app anywhere to open it? to disable or even uninstall. i found it in security and developer options but when i open it there is no way to access settings as described in other threads to uninstall it. only opion i have is to activate it?
what do i need to do to get rid of this annoying warning from know and get supersu working correct.
thanks for any help.
got it fixed!!!
ok after hours of searching found the fix
this is for the ones not getting the disable knox option when supersu runs.
here is directions from jamal at android central
Follow these steps
1) goto your settings , more , and than app manager
2) scroll over to ALL tab , click on superuser which would bring up settings. Click turn off
3) open up a explorer app ( i believe any file explorer app would work ) but i used -->
4) NOW the important step.. in the explorer go to your root. Not your sd card data or external card data. Your Root.
5) Once your in the root look for a folder named SYSTEM . from there open the folder APP.
6) Now scroll down untill you see superuser.apk . Click it and install
7) open superuser its going to ask do you want remove KNOX (dont know the exact wording) . Click yes
BINGO Your Rooted...
I ran root checker to verify it and rooted apps working fine.
What up everybody i'm jamal and new to the xda forum.
But think i possibly found a solution to the KNOX problem (Worked for me atleast)
Follow these steps
1) goto your settings , more , and than app manager

7) open superuser its going to ask do you want remove KNOX (dont know the exact wording) . Click yes
BINGO Your Rooted...

To anyone missing superuser.apk i can provide it for you just PM me or ill just simply post it here for yall
Thank you so much! I had been stuck behind the knox shield of doom myself, and this worked for me. One note/addition I would put on your steps... at the end, after you have installed superuser.apk and you open it up, at least for me, I had to move VERY quickly to disable knox. Say... within a second or two (max) or knox would squash me. Once I hit that yes button (on try number 2) it seemed to work like a champ! Thanmks again.
Thank you so much!! Ive been trying to get rid of that knox shield all day! Your a life saver!!!!!!! Question ? I had rooted my phone like a month and out of nowhere knox was tripped. How can this happen if it knox was frozen
frozen... as in frozen with Titanium BU? If that is the case... I don't see how it could possibly happen... hmmm. Even if its just been "turned off" by SuperSU, I don't know how it would spontaneously come back.
As a note, I had to go in a second (I guess third) time to install SuperSU yet again! Even though Root Checker was saying I was good, I was getting "Unfortunately, SuperSU has stopped" messages... and it wouldn't actually grant root priveledges... So I went in through my explorer again and forced another install. This time, I guess since Knox was already off, it didn't come up with the pop-up, and all of the apps seem to be happy. Woo-hoo.
That was same exact problem I had twice. So I wasn't going crazy. Lol

I followed and used this thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1963790 ) to root my phone, and i have no troubles following the steps. I searched around the thread and found out that i can unroot my phone with the SuperSU app, so i went into the app and selected the unroot button. To my knowledge it worked, since when i went into my Root Check app it said that there wasn't any root found. But here is my problem, when i go into my phone settings and select the stock update for my phone it gives me a message of "Your device has been modified. Software updates are not available", so am I missing something? Is there another step i must do to be able to update my phone from 4.1.2. My phone is the Galaxy S3 SGH-I747M.

Try doing 2 things: First do a hard wipe/reset from settings (after backing up your data, of course). Then boot into download mode and see what your settings are especially if you have a custom or official binary. Sometimes though OTA update availability may take 24-48 hours to register. Finally, if you really want to update your phone to the latest OS, this could be done manually and I'd be glad to point you in the direction of this. Since you are still on 4.1.2, I would suggest you take the opportunity to free unlock your phone on 4.1.1 (if you haven't done this already).
Thanks for the reply,
Won't this method delete all my settings (in my phone settings and app settings)?

Yes, it may which is why you need to do a back-up. You could do a simple back with Kies and restore your apps and settings afterwards.
Suggestion
I would use KingoRoot to unroot the phone, without losing anything! (It's free too just Google it)
So, I'm new to rooting and this is my first Nexus device.
I'm loving it and all the options but now I'm getting a notification to update.
I see all the forums about hooking it up to a computer and using commands to do it all and then rerooting.
I was looking for an easier way.
I bought a Nexus 5 to play with because I liked this one so much and when OTAs came up, it would let me download them and reboot into CWM recovery and ask if I want to flash the ZIP.
This one just boots into TWRP (No CWM for 5x) and does nothing.
I found the update as a zip here:
<https://gist.github.com/jduck/744a6c8a9042e9c792b7>
My question is: can I just download it and use TWRP to flash it or is the sequence of commands on a computer the only way to do it?
Thank you in advance for your help and I apologize for my ignorance.
Gotta start somewhere though, right?
Hi !
I personnaly use NRT from Wugfresh for my Nexus 5x and my Nexus 7 2013, both rooted.
In "model type", select Nexus 5x and your build.
In "Restore/upgrade/downgrade", select "device is on/normal", then click "Flash stock+ unroot".
Select the build you want to install, it can dl and extract it for you, and select "No Wipe Mode" in order to keep your data and apps. (don't try to put your ota file here)
Go through the steps, and in the end, hit "Root" to root again.
I know there are others methods to apply just the OTA with command lines, but I never did it cause I never took the time to learn. I should do it, maybe it's faster with command lines.
Anyway this works, even if it takes a little time, and it is kind of automatic. But I strongly recommend you try both method to find what suits you most. Or wait for someone else to reply so you'll have more points of view !
Have fun with your N5x !
I like the idea of that.
Does it reinstall the superuser app automatically?
If so, which one?
And does it redo custom recovery?
And which one for that?
Sorry for all the questions but I purchased SuperSU and I don't want it to automatically download a different one and have to go through the steps to change a superuser app.

Are you using flashfire v0.28?
Xposed modifies the system so while you maybe able to get the ota it can prevent you from installing them even with flashfire.
Go to the flashfire thread and see if this is a problem with the app or because or xposed (most likely answer).
Otherwise find the ota threads and see if you can flash it through recovery (not the N version)
Yeah, it's that version of Flashfire.
I have the update zip but I'm afraid to just flash it.
I was hoping that I'd get some more help here.
Not that I don't appreciate your help.
Thank you, by the way.

Thats at the end of my ability to help you with this particular problem, I have only owned a Nexus for 2 months and they are completely diff to Samsung plus I run pure nexus rom, you may just have to use a computer.
And I really appreciate it.
I'll just use a computer and do it.
Don't want to risk trying to flash the zip and bricking but I'm still curious.
Just not curious enough.
Haha.
Got it.
In case anyone needs to know for themselves, I wanted to post it here.
http://nexus5.wonderhowto.com/how-t...thout-losing-root-no-computer-needed-0168428/
I used that and it worked.
I didn't flash the Xposed zip and had to later on.
Worth it just to add it to the queue to save the time.
Everything else seems to be working fine thus far.
A few settings are changed (TinyCore was turned off and hidden apps in Smart Launcher 3 were unhidden) but that's nothing big.

That is the same manipulation I explained in post 2, but with Flashfire, without using a computer. And full automated, where with nrt you have to factory reset and root later. I'll try it next time ! And yeah, the version of SuperSu is always the latest, and if it is not, it will update via play store (I bought it as well ^^)

This one didn't unroot. Just uninstalled Xposed. Kept all my data and stuff. Apps stayed signed in even. I was afraid because I heard "factory reset" in yours. Or something to that nature. The only thing I'm having problems with now is Tapatalk told me to check my adblock settings and won't load anything. I'll have to look up what's wrong with it. Other than that, it's doing all right.
You are right and wrong, it unroots but reroots in the process. Same I did when I used nrt. And as i didn't wipe data, apps stayed sign in as Well.
But i tried flashfire on my nexus 7 and I it is way more useful and faster than nrt. I am adopting it !
