Did you try root method #2 in the link that audit13 provided you with? It will root you and remove knox so you won't have knox trying to block SuperSU. But it will certainly void any warranty you may have (if the things you have attempted haven't done so already).
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
Si have done that also & many other Still no change
Flash TWRP with Odin via PDA
Reboot to recovery then flash SuperSu and the Knox Remover
Everything showed Success
After downloading Super su its says binary something etc
Not success
The usual message is "binary needs updating" which is easy to satisfy.
But you got us guessing. 'something something' is hard to troubleshoot.

You have the first phone I have heard of that didn't take root after using method #2. I have done 3 so far with that method. After flashing SUbinary and knox remover, I downloaded SuperSU, opened it and it gives a message about updating something, allow it and then reboot to recovery wipe the cache and Dalvik.
I will do some reading perhaps I have forgotten something I did. If so I will edit this post...

Have you considered using a custom rom like maybe S3Rx it is very stable way better than AT&T 4.3 and it is pre rooted with no knox. Your warranty is already void anyhow check it out in the development section. I have to warn you though it is a large file due to all of the options it has for you to pick from as far as what you actually want to flash on the phone. That's what I'm running now and won't use anything else.

The S3Rx has less bugs than the stock 4.3 glad I made the switch, but it isn't for everyone. To each his own. But don't rule them out. I don't do nightlies because of the bugs I only do stable roms.
There is another stock 4.3 in the development section that is a stock AT&T rom and has knox removed with selinux set to permissive. It is pre rooted aswell it is by loserskater IIRC it's in a thread by updwn4par. Good luck and happy flashing.

Do a factory reset wipe cache and Dalvik from recovery that should fix it. If not try a different rom. Or perhaps a bad download did you check the md5?

Before the factory reset if you still have user data on it (because you dirty flashed) you should back it up with titanium backup. Factory reset, wipe and then restore data.

Firstly, is your device rooted? have you got cwm installed in your device before not being able to boot? If yes i recommend you to try and reflash the file and stock firmware through odin. MAKE SURE that it is for you device! [eg. for n7100 and not for n7105]
The stock browser doesn't have anymore the "zoom on the side" feature on XXDLK7? or is it custom rom specific? any way to get it back?

Should get chrome hahaha but anyways, there is a possibilty that it is rom specific but that is very unlikely, as developers would not really wanna touch the stock browser as normally i would see they would add an alternative browser such as chrome to their roms. To get the feature back you might need to push the app from the previous rom/version you were using.

TriangleAway crash
Hello, thanks for this thread. I have a GT-N7100 now but previously i had GT-9100 and i'm familiar with rooting, rom flashing, etc.. and i've used TriangleAway so many times. When i get my hands on note 2 first thing i've done was rooting it with CF Auto Root package via Odin. then i've done wiping steps and after that i tried to flash my counter via TriangleAway(purchased from market). It said i have to download data to use it so i did. When TriangleAway opened "Current Status" said current status cannot be determined so i have to go special boot mode for reset. So i tried to reset my counter. Unfortunately when app tried to check for kernel, first app froze and after that it crashed and showed a warning about app being stopped. I tried to delete and re-install app(no good), gone to download mode it said normal status with 1 custom software install, looked to recovery menu for any changes(it is stock not CWM) and tried to find any wrong thing i've screwed up while rooting. But i couldn't find anything. I've looked at chainfire's blog, TriangleAway app post and everywhere i can think of. I cannot find anything. Can u help me with my problem. Thank you for your time and if i misused English anyhow and it came difficult to read sorry in advance.

I used cf auto root on a friends n7100. The counter was reset by auto root itself.
You dont need triangle away as separate app. Just use cf auto root and make sure you use the right version for n7100
EDIT: you need triangle away for the counter. Auto root just installs stock recovery after rooting. I was wrong.

Ktp1976 well even before i used TriangleAway counter was showing 1 due to CF Auto Root flash via Odin. But what you are saying is interesting thoug i've never seen something like it.

Hi, at the moment i would recommend you to try and restock again and then try to reset the counter. You can also try and download the triangle away version from the xda forum(i know its the same but who knows it might make a difference). If this does not work, i would recommend you to try and install redpill kernel and then try to reset counter again then restock, if you are running a custom roms in your phone, everytime you reboot the device will store a counter, so you will have to reset the counter everytime. Hope i have helped you.

Your case is really weird, maybe try root it before installing the cwm and see what happens. Then after that try and restock it again.

First of all thank you and ktp1976 for answering.. Ok now i'm re-download everything from your thread and try it again.. I saw redpill kernel yesterday while i was searching is there any siyah kernel for note 2.. I luvved siyah kernel on my sgs2 but unfortunately there isn't one for it and developer wrote he will not wrote any version of siyah kernel for note series anytime soon.. so while i was looking for a kernel written by a suggested developer from gokhanmoral i came across to it.. the thing is i never have used any kernels double rom features or try to overlock any of my devices, i tried custom roms like miui, cyanogen, lightning on sgs2 but there was always a downside of all of the custom roms and every single time i've re-return to stock roms.. and while using stock roms i don't need any cutting edge features of advanced kernels i just need root permissions for using TitaniumBackup, Root Explorer and ROM ToolBox.. so that is the reason why i didn't try to have an advanced kernel.. Still if you are saying i will need it i will give it a shot.. I'll report after.. :fingers-crossed:
Hi,
I'm having issues installing CWM Recovery on my Rooted GN2. It's the Canadian variant, SGH-I317M.
It does go through the process of flashing the recovery, but never gets to saying PASS in ODIN. When I try to get into the Recovery, it still has the stock Samsung Recovery. It does, however trip the flash counter.
I'm followiing the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1988785
This is what I get after flashing in ODIN.

I was able to install CWM by following this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36201055&postcount=54
But I'm starting to think that it may have been my fault the whole time...
While doing the 3 button combo to try to boot into Recovery, I was using Vol-DOWN, instead of Vol-UP. So I was going into download mode. I'm going to try flashing the CWM through ODIN again and see if I was just an idiot the whole time.

It looks like I was just an idiot the whole time...

I thought of cleanROM but it is pretty stock. I feel if im going to flash any rom i might as well go with something modded and tweaked rather then stock, while keeping most of the note 2 and s-pen features. If i start finding them being a little buggy or draining my battery or anything, ill settle with cleanROM and just flash some custom mods.
i flashed my CWM through MobileODIN. worked like a charm. then i ran into issues with backing up to extSD, which ended up working after i formatted it but i took way longer then onto internal SD.
i know its off topic for this thread..Any suggestions or thoughts on the JEDI X9 and SKYNOTE roms will be great guys. Im all backed up and ready to flash pretty quick here.
I guess you have custom ROM. You must root and rename recovery restore files before you boot to android or stock recovery will be restored.

From one of your links to install rogers firmware pre rooted, you want this firmware which was the first from Rogers section http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23017610006234402
Here is where you can download the 4.1.2 rogers stock un-rooted firmware. The first one labeled RWC is for Rogers Wireless. http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SGH-I747M

No, that's just for getting back to stock. In your first link S3 root rom.... you have a forum that had. ' no tripping flash counter'. This is stock firmware with root injected already. If you flash that with odin, you will have root. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426

Oh, thanks. Should I just use the Samsung link for the stock ROM? In my link it has like 3 different files under the Rogers section. Is that root a good one? I am not sure if there are different roots.
Is flashing a rooted file with oden the best way to root?
The absolutely simplest way for you to get root is to flash this in odin.

It will give you root access without reinstalling the whole rom. If you want instruction on how to use this file, here is the source link. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1963790.
After installing this you can download Rom Manager from the play store to install CWM
At this stage don't worry about your flash counter. You can reset it to 0 later.
AT&T GS3 memory problem
I hope I'm putting this in the correct forum on this website. If not will someone guide me to the right place?
After rooting my AT&T GS3 and loading lots of apps and doing backups, I noticed it was running out memory. When viewing the Storage and available space on the phone it indicated the bulk of memory was taken up by "Miscellaneous files". I connected the phone to my computer and with Windows Explorer navigated to my phone. Once there I saw, as I suspected, it appeared the problem with my phone's internal memory being almost all used up was because I had done way too many backups, some with the phone's backup and some with other apps with backup capabilities. Figuring I could take care of that easily enough, I used my computer's Eraser program I erased several of the older backups. After disconnecting the phone, rebooting, etc. I went into the phone's Settings & Storage to see how the memory then looked. The phone shows that I now have Available space of 8.43 GB, because the Miscellaneous files space went down from about 11GB to 2.03GB. Here's my problem... even though the phone Storage indicates I have all kinds of available memory, I get errors when existing apps try to download updates to apps and some new apps telling me there is not enough memory available. Short of restoring the phone to pre-rooting and then having to reload all my apps and re-root, is there a way (using CWM or other) to get the phone to re-recognize the available memory? If someone could give me a link to where to answer is I would be very grateful
If you have successfully installed CWM, try wiping cache, and then wipe dalvic cache. Dalvic cache is in the 'advanced' section under wipe menu. This will force android to reload all the app memory and may fix your issue.

If I want to root in order to run custom ROMs such as CM, should not use auto root?
All root is created equal. You can use auto root for any rom. Stock or CM10. If you use the auto roor method that I suggested you will not have issues.

This Gapps package has all the Google apps for Android 4.2.2. You would flash this after installing CM10.1

That package should work fine for the latest stable version of CM 10.1 for my device, correct?

Wiping caches
BCSC said:
If you have successfully installed CWM, try wiping cache, and then wipe dalvic cache. Dalvic cache is in the 'advanced' section under wipe menu. This will force android to reload all the app memory and may fix your issue.

Thanks BCSC for the assistance. I did a wipe on both caches, but after re-boot the phone still gave me memory errors when apps tried to update. But that's OK, because I installed another backup from my external SD card (1 of 4) and it looks like the memory problem went away. I was going to go through a re-install of each of backups to see if I happened to have made a rooted one before the memory filled up. I got lucky because the first backup on the list did the trick. :good:

Oh, my bad, the auto root includes a custom Odin for the auto root.
I am just wondering, what's the difference between using the auto root and using normal odin such as the method in the noobs root guide? More steps?
As for installing CWM through ROM manager: it prompts me to select my device and the only S3 there is MetroPCS.
Press menu button and you will see 'show all devices.' You will find it in there

I think I am just going to start over. Although, I flashed that stock link you sent me earlier, and I still have superSU.
I extracted the update zip posted and just extracted it and searched for knox and came up with 10 files associated to knox. Use some root explorer then....
In system/app you need to pwn....
(1&2) KNOXAgent.apk & KNOXAgent.odex
(3&4) KnoxAttestationAgent.apk & KnoxAttestation.odex
(5&6) KNOXStore.apk&KNOXStore.odex
Found in System/framework
(7) KNOXModeSwitcher.apk
(8) sec_container_1.zzzKnoxLauncher.apk
Found in System/etc
(9) com.sec.knox.store
Found in system/lib
(10) libknoxdrawglfunction.so
Edit* lorjay589 has posted two sets of updates both are KNOX-FREE. One rooted one stock....they both use the MC2 bootloader opposed to the MK4 bootloader. Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2541395 and be sure to hit the thanks button for his work.
We now have a full flashable 4.3 rom odex thaks to lorjay589, with deodex cooking in kitchen now (same thread above)...stay tuned

My Appreciation
Big ups to louforgiveno, billard412, lorjay589, & dr.ketan - if it wasn't for you guys my phone would be stuck on the knox bootloader & even worse, still bricked! Now I'm knox free with MC2 bootloader, rooted on MK4, & rockin AOSP. Without you this would not be possible. I want to thank all of your efforts.
On my Note II the
(7) KNOXModeSwitcher.apk
(8) sec_container_1.zzzKnoxLauncher.apk
wouldn't show up using the search feature in the System/framework folder. I ended up finding them by doing an overall search in the System folder.
The full location is /system/containers/framework/... Using Root Explorer.
Just thought I'd point this out. Thanks for all the work you and lorjay89 have done with this dreaded Knox deal
Looking for some help
I am currently running Sprint's OTA 4.3 (MK4) on my Note 2. I have rooted using Odin 3.07 and CF-Auto-Root-t0ltespr-t0ltespr-sphl900.
After every reboot SuperSU is stopped (I assume by knox) until I reinstall it. Then SuperSU works (or at least pretends to).
My WIFI Trev-E Mod starts with errors, so I was looking to flash to LorJay's ROM. Which brings me to deleting/disabling the KNOX off of my phone.
I have root directory access, but when I delete the files you specify, they do not disappear, even though the explorer states they have been deleted and then only the files /system/apps location show at all. The rest aren't there.
I tried rebooting and KNOX is still there and I have to reinstall SuperSU again.
I have also rooted using Android Root in which it says root is successful as well. But with the same results.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you are going to install anther rom dont worry about knox. Put phone in download mode and use odin to flash recovery (I suggest philz 6.07.9) but uncheck the reboot option. Once it flashes everything disconnect from pc pull battery. Now the tricky part. Hold down volume up key, menu key, and power key. Now reinsert battery at same time. Ii find it easiest to turn phone upside down to perform this task. Once it boots into recovery just flash your desired rom.

And from stock MK4 the easiest method to root and such for me is just use Google Kingo Root App on PC to root. It will restart phone and then you can install from the market GooManager if you want TWRP (touch) recovery, or RomManager for CWM. I installed all recoveries successfully (haven't tried any philz yet) and can flash whatever rom from there. Less battery pulling and no ODIN necessary.
Then usually I install Titanium Backup and remove Knox and freeze or remove other bloat. Leaves me an almost clean stock experience.
Just in case anyone needs an alternate method.

Rooting is not the same on 4.3.

In download mode it showed KNOX was tripped. 'Knox warranty void: 1" I ended up bricking it, which is all the same, I don't like KNOX bs anyway. I spun a good yarn to T-Mobile so I'll have another Note 2 tomorrow hopefully on something below 4.3 lol.

Sorry to hear that, can you elaborate how it got bricked ?
Did you try to downgrade ? Flashing it back to 4.3 worked for S3 phones.
I mean once you are on 4.3 you cannot flash back to an older version (4.1.x) easily. There must be a way via CWM or TWRP.
Some of us can use this information to NOT brick our phones.

So...I decided to take a chance and try to some things on my own, you know, show some initiative. I wont be doing that again and have gained even more respect for what you devs do. Here's the story. I tried to root the 4.3 using chainfires method, after being warned by psycho4us4 that it prolly wouldn't work. It did work, sort of... I had superuser and with root explorer was able to access system files. However, I could not alter or change any of the files. When I attempted to, the explorer would stop responding. It's also important to note I was never asked to grant SU permissions. That dialogue was replaced with the notification bar warning (apparently issued by KNOX) that an app was trying to access a restricted area of the device (lol) which I ignored. So now I have my Note II with SU and KNOX tripped showing warranty void 1 in the download mode So I'm thinking "Ok I'll flash back to MD1 with ODIN" Into download mode I go and start up ol ODIN I load the firmware and let it run. After going through the entire process it fails at the end. Now I have the Keis firmware failed screen....a brick.

I'm having trouble deciding which route I want to go. Don't know if I want to use the link with the Warranty Safe Root way(have already cooked the rom per it's directions) or if I want to go the cf-auto root way. I don't know anything about the vroot method. Any thoughts or insight would be appreciated.
I thought I'd be clever too and do a factory reset from the phone and it hung on the tmo boot screen, but I ended up downloading the stock 4.3 tar file and ODIN back to 4.3 and it works again.
The Chainfire root way is definitely not the way to go as it does not work.
Going to try the vroot way to see if I can get root back.
With vroot download supersu before starting them make sure as soon as the phone boots up after rooting open supersu update binary and let it delete the other manager.
