Noob here, first off I unrooted a while ago, then took the ota 4.3, is the bootloader locked? Cause according to the cf auto root site if your bootloader is locked you'll probably brick your phone if you flash the auto root? Also do these steps have to be in order? I tried rooting by other means and installing supersu first, wouldn't work so I removed knox with the script, and then updated supersu in the play store and still nothing, can I try to flash cf auto root now and then update supersu in the play store? Thanks a million, need this thing rooted

Well, I'm not bricked, so I think that answers your question about the bootloader.
Do you have a custom recovery installed? I assume so since you say you flashed the Knox remover script. If you do have a custom recovery installed, just flash the SuperSu zip, then update in the Play Store.

Ah it is so nice to have root again... Thank you so much for putting up with a noob.
Crazy events of a noob that lead me to root
Installed ota 4.3
Tried to root and install superuser by odin and then custom recovery to flash
Root didn't happen because of knox
Could only get to CWM custom recovery if it was right after odin and battery pull?...
Flashed the script to remove knox, which did remove knox
Tried the same root method as above and no root access
Tried supersu and then updating in play with no success
Changed security update settings etc nothing
Reset delvik, cache, permissions, etc nothing
Different root method and files for odin, and custom recovery stuck
Used files from this thread, went into custom recovery and flashed supersu
Installed supersu from play store...
Updated the binary using custom recovery
Rebooted...
ROOT access, all root applications work fine and root sticks even after reboots
I never messed with cf auto root method
THANK you guys for your time effort and sharing, helps noobs out like me a lot!

Sweet! I've missed root since I upgraded using the OTA file you provided. Looking forward to much other great things coming from you

Thank You

Method two absolutely worked. Thank you so much. I was scared to flash TWRP but knowing you did it gave me the courage. Have full root and happy

questions about this root
Hi, I'm a little nervous with this root but I need the root as the phone is useless without it.
I have the [email protected] galaxy s3 I747 will all these files work with it im just double checking.
Also do you flash the knox remover the same way as you flash other things with the pda button?
Will I still be able to do factory restores?
Also I saw that knox remover removes a lot of apps, Can you install these deleted apps from the market if you need too?
THanks please let me know asap.

THANKS!!!! your a lifesaver didn't know how much longer i could take without root

Dunno where you guys got your 4.3 update from and how you got it working but I did the OTA and Root just does not want to stick. I used knox remover and Cf auto root but it loses root after a restart. SuperSu never opens and crashes as soon as you open it. I have a feeling Cf auto root is just not compatible for the ota 4.3 i747??

The second method worked great. I believe (and the way that worked for me) that you use your custom recovery to flash the knox script, not using Odin and pda. I don't think it removed anything other than knox, there is a different script for removing knox and att bloatware. Should still be able to factory reset... But can't guarantee that.

Root & Knox
When you go to Settings/More tab/Security/Device Administrators, You have KNOX and Android Device Manage. Both are unchecked on mine. So does that mean Knox is not working if unchecked and safe to try to Root?????

Those settings are just for granting device administrator privileges. If unchecked, Knox is still doing it's thing, just not at an administrative level.
Yes, it is safe to try and root.
I have Android Device Manager as admin. That way if I ever lose my device I can just log in to the Play Store and locate and / or wipe the device.

To do this just flash the recovery.img file using odin and clicking the pda button correct?

Is there a way to freeze Knox instead of deleting it in the event I would want to go back to full stock?

After you are rooted, use an app like Titanium Backup(pro) or My Backup pro. Both will freeze it.

So far no issues.. Just need to get everything setup as I had it in the leak.

Thanks indymx, may get the nerve up to try it on my AT&T S3. Let me know if you run into any problems. Guess Rom Manager and other programs that require Root are working Ok and you have rebooted few times to be sure it keeps Root?? Have Happy Thanksgiving.

After rooting and rebooting you got to go first to the play store and update supersu, after that supersu will run.

I have the same problem on XXUENA1, I downloaded the 4.3 rom with Mobile Odin, and checked the EverRoot option, now I get the security alert from Knox, and SuperSU doesn't open, and I can't uninstall SuperSU (I tried wiping from recovery, and even download the 4.3 image again using PC Odin, I still see the SuperSU app).
When I go to market to upgrade SuperSU, I don't have the upgrade option, only open (Already the SuperSU version installed is 1.93, which is the latest I believe?).
I tried rooting with CF-root and also in vain...
Any ideas?

Is anyone else having the same problem

I'm about to start using my Note 2 N7100XXUENA1 using a method I googled.
I'm sorry I can't post the link yet since I'm new and need 10 posts before outside links can be posted so try this hint.
The site should be nasirtech.blogspot (dotcom). That's specific to Note 2's with the XXUENA1 firmware.
I'll see if it works.
I got my phone in the Philippines from Globe and I think you have the same handset.
We could end up in the same boat if the method in the link fails to work but I'll give it a shot.

Hi dude, it seems the guide I followed actually works.
I saved the instructions in a Word Document to see if I could share it via dropbox (Since It's still my 5th post as of now).
Here goes nothing;
/s/mjd5sk2mqz9lgb5/N7100%20Root.docx
Just type in dropbox(dotcom) before the line above.
And another thing. Please tell me if that's the guide you followed, I'm suspecting that the CF-Autoroot that you are using maybe different from what I used.
Hope this helps.

First remove SuperSU from Application manager. If u can't then re-flash 4.3 from Computer Odin to get rid of corrupt SuperSU.
Downgrade from 4.3 to 4.1.2. I have done this with 100% Success
BACKUP everything. (Important)
Turn ON USB Debugging mode and Unknown sources.
First ROOT your phone.
(For N7100 Note 2 use CF-Auto root, here is the link
http://download.chainfire.eu/264/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-t03g-t03gxx-gtn7100.zip
NOTE: Knox and Binary Counters will get Triggered and your Warranty will be VOID.
Donwload CF-Auto root to your computer. Then boot your phone into Download mode. Open Odin. Connect your phone to computer. Click PDA and load CF-Auto root and click Start button. Let the process finish and your phone will reboot. You will see SuperSU icon on your phone).
Open Playstore and Update SuperSU. Open SuperSU and it will give a message to disable KNOX. Click YES/Ok.
Then install Titanium backup root from Playstore. Open it, go to backup/restore tab.
Find,
1.com.sec.enterprise.knox.attestation
2.com.sec.knox.eventsmanager
3.KLMS Agent
4.KNOX
5.Knox Notification Manager
6.KNOX Store
Go to each one of it and Uninstall them.
Next restart your phone.
*VERY IMPORTANT* Now Backup your efs folder by using EFS Professional on you computer (Link: http://d-h.st/Gfo ). Because your imei number will be changed after downgrading. You can easily restore it later.
Now install Mobile Odin Pro from Playstore on your phone. Here is the link.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.mobileodin.pro
*IMPORTANT* DO NOT flash firmware for downgrading with Computer Odin as it will NOT work and it will FAIL. *ONLY Mobile Odin Pro from Playstore will work.
Copy your 4.1.2 firmware to your phone. Next Open Mobile Odin Pro on your phone and let it download some necessary files from internet.
When done, click on Open file and select the firmware. After loading the firmware scroll down and UNCHECK EverRoot(because it cause problems). Then click on FLASH Firmware.
*IMPORTANT* If your phone get stuck on samsung logo. Go into recovery mode by pressing Home+Power+Volume UP keys together for 15 seconds. Click Factory wipe/data and then Wipe Cache. Then Reboot.
Now check your imei by *#06#. If imei is changed then restore it from EFS Professional.

Root is Gone?

So all of sudden, my rooted S3 is not rooted anymore.
I wanted to use Titanium Backup and it says
"Sorry, I could not acquire root privileges. This application will *not* work! Pleasre verify that your ROM is rooted, and try again.
This attempt was made using the "/system/xbin/su" command."
and then I tried my other root applications such as Greenify, App Ops and they are all saying my phone isn't rooted anymore.
I don't understand, I never upgraded my phone after I rooted and I never flashed a different rom and kept the Touchwiz Rom.
I used this guide to root my phone originally:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1771687
My phone is running 4.3 Android (Same Version I used when Rooted in the first place)
Baseband Version: T999UVUEMJC
Please let me know what to do

It isn't.
The following message pops up:
"There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!
If you just upgraded to Android 4.3, you need to manually re-root - consult the relevant forums for your device!"

In terms of re flash root66, that means simply using Odin and re-rooting my phone like I do the first time right? Would it be the same instructions too?

I'm not sure if you are going to lose your data.. so that's why I said to back everything up, just in case.
And yes.. same method as before from that post.

Befoe you flash again. Try uninstalling then installing supersu again

I can't uninstall supersu as it gives me no option to do so. I can only uninstall all updates that were applied but not complete remove and then install it.

I had this happen on my Tmobile Galaxy S3.
I read somewhere else on XDA that you just had to install the latest SuperSU, in zip form, from recovery mode.
I havent posted enough here to be able to post a link, but you can find it on chainfires website.
Then reboot and it should work.

[Q] SGH-I317M with KNOX can not be rooted

Mine Note II is SGH-I317M with baseband version of I317MVLUCMK5 and KNOX.
I have tried CF-Auto-Root and Root SuperSU but weren't able to root my note II.
I have tried using different version of Odin, reinstalled the USB driver and tried using philz touch and cwm6 root to backup and root.
Nothing worked........Can't even start SuperSU.....
KNOX keep giving me security notice "An attempt to access a secure area on your device without authorisation has been blocked."
I also tried an updated Superuser. Still nothing worked....
Any idea anyone?
Thank you very much.

This is really weird, when I did this to my SGH-I747/M it was updated to stock 4.3 so it had KNOX and I got the same message as you but to disable it, all I did was open SuperSU and it prompts me to disable KNOX and then it's "fully" rooted and I could install a custom recovery after that.
I know it worked on the S3 because it's currently rooted running a custom ROM. Are you using the right version of Odin? I was trying to use 1.85 I think it was and it wasn't working at first, I tried 3.09 and it worked like a dream.
Did you remember to go into the Security Settings and turn off Reactivation Lock? I know this can play a factor when rooting with KNOX.
Also, KNOX never goes away, even though I'm running an AOSP ROM now on the S3, it still shows the KNOX counter with 0x1, even with it disabled. I can also not get any ROM's lower then 4.3 to work anymore so I can no longer run RootBox 4.2.2 on the S3.
I'm not sure if it's just me, or just my phone, but since that KNOX update was already on it when I got the phone used, it will not let me go to any ROM's lower then 4.3

hey man i have the same phone as you, just found an easy way to root it after struggling. Just updated to Stock 4.3 Bell Firmware using odin, completely fresh phone.
How to root it:
1. Flash philz recovery in odin "philz_touch_6.19.3-t0lteatt.tar.md5" (Download mode= Vol Down + Home + Power)
2. Reboot back into android once
3. Power off phone
4. Boot into recovery (Vol Up + Home + Power)
5. Goto philz settings->Reroot rom (or something to that effect)
6. Recovery will tell you done, and to reboot and install SuperSU from Play Store
7. Reboot download and install SuperSU from Play Store
8. Open SuperSU it will immediately ask if you would like to disable Knox.. say yes
9. Done
Link to philz recovery tar for our phone i317M
http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/t0lteatt/philz_touch_6.19.3-t0lteatt.tar.md5

Does this work?
My wife's Rogers note2 is bone stock running I317MVLUCMK5.
She is paranoid about Knox and possibly killing her phone.
She wants me to get it rooted, but I'm struggling to find a clear cut answer.
Also, it would be better if anyone knows how to (if possible) downgrade to 4.1.2 and start from there... As I know how to do that one like the back of my hand.

Simple. First get the root. Like the su binary and stuff. once you are rooted get suersu. What I mean by first get root is literally get root through a program or something. After this you will have root but you wont have root access. So get supersu now and launch the app. It will ask to update your su binary. Say yes. then the thing will say something about knox then ask you if you want to try to disable knox. Tap yes and knox should be disabled and your su binary should be updated and working.

I'm exactly in the middle of nowhere .. Try to root with CF method. After the first try and reboot. I got the knox alert "unauthorized, bla, bla" the thing is that I can't get the full root or return to stock. Also when I tried to install knox in order to Uninstaller it, I can't. My phone is not allowed to use knox any more... I already tried to download Su and update it in order to disable knox with no success.... Stupid knox and stupid 4.3:crying:

My phone is I317M Rogers, it run stock 4.3. I followed this guide, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2618261 rooted success.

Note 8.0 N5110 Rooting Issue

Hey guys I've been trying to root my tablet all day today. I tried using chainfires one click method with odin. SuperSU got installed but it closes as soon as it opens(I have tried going to the play store but it says SuperSU is a system app and will only let me open). I've no clue what to do at this point. Is there a way I can use odin to go back to stock? Before the 4.4.2 update or better, is there any different root method for 4.4.2?

I rooted my n5110 on 4.4.2 NE2 using Kingo. It takes awhile but worked. I had the same issue with CF-Autoroot.

Alright I'll see what happens. I'll try that

Thanks I'll post results later

Kingo just failed for root

SuperSU still doesn't even open. It closes automatically

Kingo didn't work. CF oneroot with odin didn't work. I have no clue whats going on.

I am having the exact same issue, neither CF-AutoRoot nor Kingo has been successful at getting root access...
on KOT49H N5110.XXDNE1
The thing has resisted my concentrated efforts for two evenings thus far

root with cf-autoroot and try update supersu from here

then launch supersu to update su binary and disable knox notification

Dude.... I don't even know what to say. You un****ed my tablet lol. Much appreciated. I did have to go into SuperSU and enable it at boot and make it install as a system app. Otherwise when I restart tablet it would keep force closing again

I have a problem to root my note 5110
It has 4.4.2 and I can't enter in download mode
Do you have an idea to do it (I tried the classical method)?
Thanks

Hey guys I've been trying to root my tablet all day today. I tried using chainfires one click method with odin. SuperSU got installed but it closes as soon as it opens(I have tried going to the play store but it says SuperSU is a system app and will only let me open). I've no clue what to do at this point. Is there a way I can use odin to go back to stock? Before the 4.4.2 update or better, is there any different root method for 4.4.2?

Use this method :
1. Flash the CF auto root via odin
2. Flash TWRP or CWM recovery via odin
3. Boot to recovery
4. Flash this : http://goo.gl/kpOHVm
5. Reboot
After that, open supersu and update binary + disable Knox.
