I have tried to root my Note 8 (us version) with CF-Auto-Root. My device has never been rooted before and still had the stock 4.1.2 firmware.
I followed the directions exactly listed here from chainfire.

The flashing with odin went perfectly but when my device rebooted it was stuck on the Samsung splash screen. I could not get into recovery mode at all. Pressing the 3 button combination just made the screen turn black and then to the splash screen again. I tried flashing several times and also tried removing the battery as stated by chainfire. I was able to get into download mode and flash a stock 4.1.2 rom and I was back in business again. I would like to know what might be causing my device to not go into recovery mode and being stuck on the splash screen after flashing with CF-Auto-Root. My firmware version was N5110UEDMD1. I would still like to root my device but how to do it now?
Do I just use a rooted rom and flash it with odin? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Isn't the CF-Auto-Root only for those on the 4.2.2 update? (I don't know for sure, my tab shipped with 4.2.2, I just thought I remembered reading it)

No, it works with 4.1.2
I have CF-Auto-Root working now on my device. I was all my fault as I used the wrong file to flash. I used P5110 instead of using N5110. Every thing is good now and my device is working just fine.
Thanks

so I rooted my galaxy note 2 from Sprint with Odin and it said that it was rooted but the superuser would never work so I did a factory reset to make sure that wasn't the problem and it just got stuck on boot loader on the Samsung icon and it never turns on I tried installing the stock firmware for the Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 2 with Odin and every time I got to S.boot it says fail my phone has been stuck like this for about a week now and I have not found anything to fix it I found a thread saying to install an alternate stock firmware without the s.boot file but it was only for Verizon phones I have not found one for the Sprint any help would be highly appreciated

What file were you using?
Without more info I would suggest using odin and flashing a recovery then flashing mc2 stock with counter reset. Dont remember exactly who made it at this moment but scan through development section and you will find it.

It's failing at sboot because you're trying to downgrade on a secured bootloader. You can't downgrade. You can only use the latest stock firmware.
This is the stock 4.3 image for use in Odin http://www.mediafire.com/download/7viivd985s7cp8l/L900VPUBMK4_L900SPTBMK4_HOME.tar.zip
To get into download mode use vol down, home, power. You'll need Odin 3.07 or 3.09. Put this in the PDA or AP tab. DO NOT MESS WITH ANYTHING ELSE IN ODIN.

I know exactly what you need to do, go download this and flash with odin, then flash a custom recovery and flash MC back to stock unrooted

I am not new to rooting and flashing rom however, I switched from my rooted GS3 running CM11 to the Note 2. I flashed the stock firmware (root66) and made the mistake of running the OTA 4.1.2 update which caused my note to be soft bricked. The phone boots to the samsung logo and freezes there. I flashed several stock firmware using odin that pass but when my phone reboots it freezes at the samsung logo. I can not access recovery mode, only downloading mode. I know its a way to fix this I'm just not sure how. Any suggestions?

Easy peasy, flash philz v5.00.5 (not the latest) through odin then u should be able to access recovery, from recovery flash a custom ROM so u can get unstuck, then when everything is fine, flash a stock rom from sammobile and hopefully it should work.

Smack the thanks if I helped.

I have T-Mobile SM-N900T with N900TUVUCNB4 Latest firmware 4.4.2 it came with the phone.
I have tried to install and root this phone many times. And every time it goes into recovery it boot loops. No matter what I have tried. I have tried CF-Root for the Kitkat, I have installed Recovery from TWRP 2.7, via Odin. Every time I says it updates but just goes to recovery and loops. I know that it has already tripped the Knox Warranty it now says 0x1.
Maybe if there is a Rooted 4.4.2 rom that can be put on via odin that might work. I have not found one. Or if anyone can give me directions on how to install any of the roms for this phone via odin it would be helpful as well.
I would like to root due to I need to remove allot of the bloatware on the phone its really full of apps that I will never use.

I am for sure that you did not use cf autoroot for the euro phone. I am willing to bet that you might also be trying the wrong recovery. Only 2 exist for the 4.4.2 boot loader.

I was having the exact same problem you are having right now, and BACARDICIMON helped me out of it. I downloaded the original 4.2.2 firmware from sammobile.com and then used odin 3.9 and flashed that. It started working perfectly afterwards.
So i lost my warranty recently and seen that there is a new version out... my old one was the standard 4.1.2 which i wanted to upgrade... so i installed a new bootloader
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2747963 (the "Latest nd3 bootlader" http://d-h.st/TQq)... used Odin 3.9, shut my n7100 down, booted it up in download/odin mode and connected it to the PC. it worked, then i flashed the Bootloader... seemed to work... it reseted.... and is FOREVER STUCK on the first loading screen "Samsung Galaxy Note II GT-N7100" until i grab the battery and get it out.
then i can go back to the download mode.... i wanted to try a factory reset, but even this doesn't work, because i can't get into the recovery mode....
that made me so mad... i thought it worked out really well... and then this... right in my face
heeelp plssss......

You were on 4.1.2 and flashed a kitkat bootloader? Did you even read instructions carefully? The latest KK bootloader only works on 4.3 and higher android versions.4.1.2 is not supported.Now download a stock 4.4.2 ROM flash it via odin( ND3 firmware and higher)

I have the same issue. I was running the latest aosp 4.4 build rom and still it freezes on boot. Can get odin to flash so will try to revert to stock rom
Thanks for reading.
I was on stock rooted 4.3. I went back to complete stock 4.1 using odin in order to update to 4.4. i started with the first update and installed fine but wouldnt boot past the first samsung note screen. I tried to get into recovery but no success. I can get into download mode. What else can I do to get the phone booted.
thanks!

i was running slimrom 6.8 and it was working just fine. then my work email required that i encrypt the phone. phone would not encrypt. went back to stock 4.1.2 and encrypted and was running successfully. decided to OTA update and back stuck to bootscreen.
i tried other bootloaders, but this is the only that has worked. will repeat going to stock, encrypt. no more ota for me!
unless someone knows if there is an encryption friendly rom out there?

Just do the 4.4.2 updated rom like a stock touchwiz or maybe a cm rom would be able to
