I've installed custom Kernels many times before, but always on Aosp based ROMs that doesn't have SuperSu or any similar software, but when it comes to TW based ROMs I couldn't manage to flash any custom kernel on any TW based ROMs as they come with SuperSu by deafult, so when I go into recovery and install the kernel zip. file, it shows an error with SuperSu binary and phone get bricked, so I have to flash the stock firmware, in order to fix the device, this happened with me multiple times with different kernels, so I was thinking could I use the stock firmware and, root without automatically installing SuperSu, install the kernel then afterwards download Supersu from the store?
There is a superuser update binary zip you can flash through recovery. If you are rooted then you need superuser. I think you have to be rooted to install a custom kernel

I have an i747M, from Fido (rogers) running the stock 4.3 firmware. yesterday i tried to root it using odin to install CWM, and then CWM to install supersu.
after successfully installing supersu, i restarted the phone, and got knox blocking the app. i updated it from Play, but then i couldn't open it, and it said it can't install the binary. when my phone asked to update the security certificates, i (stupidly) agreed.
i downloaded the .zip for supersu 1.89, and tried installing that, with the same result, but this time i also can't uninstall supersu.
i've bumped my binary counter, but i'm back to basically stock now.
my goal is to install aokp. is there a way to do it without gaining root first?
if i install CWM through odin, can i flash the aokp rom from CWM?
will the phone reset the recovery?
is this risky?
You could try installing a pre-rooted Rogers rom from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426
I was not able to find a pre-rooted 4.3 for Fido and, since you intend to install a custom rom and recovery, the pre-rooted Rogers ROM might be a good place to start.
It's there a reason to install a rooted rom before aokp? As far as I can tell, I can install aokp without rooting at all.
or am I missing something?

Yes, you can just install a custom ROM without rooting first.
I mentioned the prerooted ROM because you post said you wanted to install su.
Ok, please confirm i have this procedure correct:
1. i use Odin to install CWM
2. boot straight into CWM
3. from inside CWM, i flash the AOKP zip file, and then the gapps zip file
my understanding is that this will keep cwm as my recovery and install aokp with gapps.
am i missing anything?

Just make sure you flash a tar version of CWM that is meant for your phone.
I can't really speak about 4.3 because I'm on 4.1.2 but the method you described is the same method I used.

If you want to kill Konx to enable root you can flash this knox removal script: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2507931
If you are just going to flash AOKP via CWM, this may not be necessary, but this is the answer to your Knox problem.
I am currently running the Hyperdrive Rom. It has been a while since i flashed it. I seem to remember that I did not root my phone because the rom had root priv. I only installed the custom recovery. I would like to switch over the AOKP rom but I am not sure if I need to root first or if the rom has root. and also, if I do root will I then have to install a recovery again after. would also appreciate any advise on which root method is best. thanks for any help.
Check the change log for the rom and compatibility with your current Android firmware version. Most of the time after you root you'll be asked if you want custom recovery.

I recently tried to root my phone using CF Auto Root and its now stuck in boot loop. The phone is a sm-n910p running 5.1.1. Is there anything I can do to fix it? I have been trying to use stock roms but they either fail in odin or they cause odin to freeze up without doing anything. The only error I can see is SW Rev check fail fused 4 binary 1

Stock ROMs getting flashed in Odin? Stock tars full and partitions from tar ball or custom recovery is all you should flash with Odin.
If you're trying to flash custom OG5 ROMs, that would require TWRP or CWM recovery flashed in Odin.
CF Auto Root was suggested until Android 5.1.1/OG5 update. Root now requires kernel exploit like Beastmode kernel by freeza plus SuperSU zip to root stock flashed in custom recovery.
Odin to flash custom recovery would be a prerequisite for rooting stock with those zips or custom ROM zip.

Custom OG5 ROMs only require custom recovery to flash because they're pre-rooted with those during flash.

I was able to flash the TWRP 2.8.1.1 and im able to access the menu in recovery mode however I still get stuck on the boot loop with no kernel even though I had one on the phone before starting the process
Have you flashed the Beastmode kernel and SuperSU zip linked in the post I linked you to above? Are you getting a message indicating no kernel installed? A ROM flash or those zips would get a kernel onboard.
If you're stuck, just try OBAR ROM on a clean install. You can find it in development forum.

I was able to do a complete reinstall after a few hours of stock rom and it seems ok as of right now still back on 5.1.1. How do I root it but still keep everything as close to stock as possible?
And yes i have checked out the beastmode however the link is down.

The link is live in the post above. Scroll down to where SuperSU zip is linked as well. Flash both those in TWRP recovery.
You'll still need to freeze or remove Knox. There's some other notes that apply to stock in that post, like the build.prop edit.

@tx_dbs_tx has 2 stock, prerooted, odexed & deodexed roms. They are completely stock excepting Knox & sprint itson and as I said are prerooted.
If that sounds like what you are looking for here is the link :

These roms are flashed in recovery.

Thanks..i was able to get twrp 2.8.7.0 loaded on and the beastmode kernel..however the phone seems to be draining battery extremely fast even with my zerolemon extended battery..in about 5 hours I'd normally go from 90-80% with average usage where as today I barely used it and it dropped from 65-20%. If I'm trying to remain as close to stock as possible but just have root permissions with the bloatware removed which one would I want the odexed or deodexed? Do i have to flash the ALL_SPT_N910PVPU4COG5_N910PSPT4COG5_CL5303209_QB56 91107_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5 before flashing one of those?

Odexed is better for performance, deodexed is a better choice for moding. I always use deodexed as the performance of this device is outstanding.
As for the battery issues, I use GSam battery monitor (there are many others). It helps you see what is using up battery.
Go through the system settings and turn off things that aren't necessary for you. Many of them contribute to battery drain. It's a drip, drip, drip thing... Not any one thing. A process of learning what helps and what doesn't. There's no catch all answer... You've got to work at it.
I'm running a custom rom but cannot get magisk to work. I've done everything discussed in that rom's thread to get root but no success.
Does anyone know of a custom rom for the 2 XL that installs with magisk or SuperSU included?
Just to get more info, after flashing the rom and twrp zip, you boot into the os at least once before going back and flashing Magisk right?
lineage rom could be rooted natively. you doesn't need to install magisk to obtain root
I was at almost any of this custom Roms but gCam is not so good for camera like this, If I flash custom rom and kernel, when next update come, how do I update it? normally or I must use custom recovery?
I think that depends on your custom ROM. My custom ROM updates through zip file over custom recovery. I have to flash it's again and again every single time it comes out. I think some Lineage ROMs can be flashed over OTA.
I want to stay on stock rom but to have custom recovery, I just not sure how will update when come... Through recovery? Or normal?
