Alright folks, I'm losing my mind here...
I recently flashed the ND8 stock and am attempting to get root using the CF auto root. Odin tells me that everything has has finished properly. When I restart the phone the auto-root appears to complete, then the phone restarts. Root checker says no root.
I have tried different cables, usb ports, computers. I have had odin's auto restart checked and unchecked, flashed philz recovery. USB debug is on. Still no root! What am I doing wrong? I'm not a noob, nor am I a dev, but this is the first time in 6 six different phone models that I have failed to get root by following the directions provided by those smarter than me.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
Sorry, but I've never used cf autoroot.
I would:
Flash the latest Philz.
Go into "philz settings" and click "re_root system (supersu)"
If the above doesn't work, search the Web and download update_supersu_. Zip (actual file name will include version #)
Go back into philz and flash the su file.
If SuperSU crashes after attempting to open, go to Google store and "update" SuperSU.

nice to hear that it worked but if someone is looking and for whatever reason they don't want to use odin i have confirmed that Towel Root app will work on stock 4.4.2
I used cf auto root to root my phone, I had to do it a few times to make it stick.

ok so i would ask of this beloved community to help me out in my quest to finally do a proper root on a samsung device
since i am not too fond of writting i have taken upon me the task to visually present the problem, which can be seen in the following screen shots
No.1 for all of you Techno Geeks like me, here is the basic information

No.2 Here is the result from the Root checker app (weird) - i DID the root via SAFEROOT on this forums
No.3 While opening Super SU and trying to update
and then
and when choosing NORMAL
OR when chossin CWM option
And FINALLY AFTER REBOOTING THE PHONE
so, mages, sages and holy emissionaries from XDAfrorums, gather in this noble quest and preach me the truths and values of ROOTING MY NOTE 2
IMPORTANT BACKGROUND
When i was on STOCK 4.1.2 i ROOTED the phone with no problem via FRAMAROOT APPLICATION found on XDA,
After flashing with ODIN the 4.3, this sh*t started to appear..
go to recovery and flash SuperSU flashable package and you should be good to go
or just use this tutorial
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1896696
Does it matter that my phone isn't rooted after reboot?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using XDA Premium HD app
that is how I rooted my n7100 from stock:
1. flashed recovery via Odin 3.09
2. go to recovery and install SuperSU1.65.zip
3. boot back to stock ROM and run SuperSU - you can update binaries
4. backup EFS and whatever I needed
5. install triangle away apk, run it, reboot
6. flash custom ROM via TWRP recovery
I happen to have a spare L710 lying around, unfortunately it is unable to connect to my computer(or charge anymore for that matter), but i would like to flash the new ND8 rom from the OTA. for me to do this i need to get my digital hands on the stock recovery for MK3 so i can flash it either via CWM or Mobile ODIN. any one have the file or know where it is online? im really tired of googling for it and comming up empty......
Think you will have to do it this way-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2565972

Unfortunetaly i cannot use odin because my phone WILL NOT CONNECT TO MY COMPUTER. the usb/charge port on the phone is bad, and its not under warrenty. sorry for the caps, but since it wasnt read the first time i figured a bit more force was necessary.
but i found a solution to my own problem. i extracted the recovery image from the mk3 tar.md5, and created a CWMR flashable zip. once i have tested it i will upload in case anyone wants/needs it
stock recovery for MK3 for flashing in CWMR.
Thank you so much. I've been looking everywhere for this flashable zip.

Look at you @micmars, regulating! I'm so proud . Hopefully you'll see more of me around these parts now that school has slowed down for a bit. Happy hunting!

Rooted is out-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2741413
So, I'm trying to root my T-Mobile T999 S3 using this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2563955&highlight=failed
I'm on the "Flash (install) the Knox Remover zip" in the recovery menu step, and I keep getting the "supersu failed to verify whole-file signature" error. I also get that error when I try to install SuperSU.
I figured that I needed to use CWM or TWRP but I can't get them to install. Odin says PASS but when I press Home + Volume Up + Power, I still get to the old, stock recovery menu.
What do I do?
EDIT: I downloaded the root66_TMO_T999UVUENC2.7z ROM from this page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1771687 and it has rooted my phone.
Should I keep it, is it the same?
Thanks.
Keep what? Your phone is rooted, isn't that what you wanted? If you want to use the Knox remover zip download and install flashify from the playstore and you can install twrp from there, after that boot into recovery and flash the zip

But that thread is from 2012. How is it that I downloaded a 2 year-old ROM and it kept my 4.3 and simply rooted it?
It feels like I just did a random thing and got the exact result I waned..
That's because the thread was updated recently to add the newer firmwares.
Notice the following.

Hey Guys,
I have a stock 4.4.2 firmware that i flashed via Odin just today. No problems on the phone, can connect to the wifi, receive and send sms and calls
I was trying to root it using CF Auto Root but this process keeps on failing. What's the best way to go?

If you have rooted as above linked I would recommend to flash latest CWM as zip through recovery, but nothing wrong with other ways mentioned.
thanks sir. *Searching for the latest CWM zip

Yes, you can.
Method 1:
The safest way is to fully unroot (using supersu)
But firstly, you've to resent counter via triangleaway. Install app from appstore and press reset counter.
Once it is reset, uninstall the Triangle away from app drawer.
Use fully unroot option in supersu.

}
After that, It is recommended to do a factory reset and wipe cache partition. However it is not necessary.
NOW You will have unrooted 4.1.2
Use OTA update to upgrade to 4.4.2.
To root 4.4.2 follow the instructions in the link given below:
http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/root-galaxy-note-2-n7100-android-4-4-2-kitkat-install-philz-recovery-144789
Method 2:
Download 4.4.2 firmware for your region on Sammobile website.
Flash the file using ODIN 3.09. Dump ur file in AP tab and start. Make sure only auto reboot and f.reset time are checked. Start it. After d process is completed you will get a pass message.
Done. Now you are on 4.4.2.
To root follow the link mentioned before.
Don't forget to press thumbs up if u found my suggestions helpful.
