I have rooted (or so i thought) mt note 2 n7105 on 4.4.2 with CF Autoroot. But root checker says its not rooted, the knox counter went to 1, but supersu doesnt work, it says that it has stopped everytime i try to open it and i have gotten the latest apk for it from the app store and the site to see if one would work, no such luck. Also i flashed CWM with Odin(or so i thought) but when i boot into recovery mode i still get the stock recovery. Whats wrong here?

Hi everyone,
pardon me for my noobiness
I have tried cf autoroot step by step with caution. but my device still stays unrooted.
i have i747 at&t with 4.1.2
in odin i does see everything as good, but no SuperSU app.
root checker goes in infinte loop returns nothing, Tibu says device not rooted.
do i have options?
i want to stick to 4.1.2 TW stock with root access, twrp and triangle away to reset my counter.
as I already used CW 10.2 JB 4.3 and was missing my ugly touchwiz, camera, multiwindow

If the auto root worked (rebooted into recovery and did it's thing) than just download SuperSU from the play store. Update the binary by opening the app and than recheck for root.

after trying for 5 times, it worked.
i am rooted now.
but have another issue, gave my google account for phone setup. also used mrrobinson debloater.
noticed that none of my apps from playstore are getting installed on my phone.
is it because mrrobinsoon debloater deleted something or its just me , a noob..

Hi,
I signed up just to get help because I'm extremely frustrated.I have gotten the Kit Kat update for my t-mobile s4 and now I can't root my phone again. I have tried to root my phone using Chainfire Auto root md5 file (jfltetmo-sghm919.tar.md5) & Odin 3.09. I have follow the simple directions as I'm done several times before to flash the root files onto my phone then Odin tells me that it passed. but when i tested with root checker app, the app along with other apps that request superuser permissions, tells me that my device is not rooted. I have tried to root my phone several times using different computers and I have no clue why my phone will not root. in download mode my device states that the knox void has been tripped & the binary is custom. this leaves me scratching my head please help!
What firmware is on your phone?

Have you updated the binary? You could also try using towel root
Try downloading a recovery from CWM or TWRP in TAR format and flashing that in Odin.
That will give you a custom recovery.
Then boot into recovery and flash a Superuser.zip from there. (If you use TWRP recovery you don't even need the superuser.zip. TWRP will tell you that you aren't rooted when you boot it and ask it you want TWRP to root it for you.)
Hi,
Thanks for all the responses... I solved it.. somehow my update for kit-kat via kies prevented me from rooting my phone again. But when I flashed the stock kit-kat update onto my phone using odin, the rooting process using the auto root file from chainfire & odin work! So this solution may work for others...
I've been rooting phones for a few years now (my evo and my Note 2.) I had my note 2 rooted for about a year and while having performance issues with Sprint (hate sprint) I flashed back to stock and updated everything, including the firmware. Ugh, I updated the firmware to the new knox firmware. Not knowing I was up a creek, I reflashed my phone with the tools I already had and had already used and triggered knox and cant get a recovery to stick. As far as I can tell the phone is still stock with knox tripped and I cant get any farther. I've spent a few hours reading now and I cant seem to find a way to either reverse knox or root the phone with knox tripped. I tried the cf auto root in the origional development section and couldn't figure it out.
Anybody got any advice, or a link to a thread started post knox so it talks about how to deal with it?

You shouldn't be up a creek. What recovery did you flash? Try the latest Philz for note2. Unchecked auto-reboot in Odin before flashing it, and when it's done pull the battery then put the battery back in and do the power button/home button/volume up to get into recovery...

I've been using the unified android toolkit. It seemed to work flawlessly before knox. Now it just stalls. Odin installs the custom recovery, the phone reboots, and goes into the stock android recovery. So I unchecked the auto reboot option, flashed CWM, and while looking nervously at the do not power down device screen, pulled the battery. It booted into CWM fine, flashed Paranoid Android and gapps fine, and rebooted into the new ROM just fine.
Not really sure why I was having problems, or why the pull the battery step is necessary, but it seems to have worked. I did not flash any SU files. Is that necessary?
I would download 1 of the root checker apps, or just install an app that requires root.
Usually (though I can verify not always. Lol) you have to reboot directly into download mode to finish the install of the custom recovery. If you let your phone reboot, stock recovery will over-write the custom recovery that you're trying to install...

I ran a root checker and it says I do not have root access. But the phone is running paranoid...so what am I missing here? I thought I needed root access to install the recovery and install a ROM. Seems I do not. Should I care about the lack of root access? Because all I really wanted was to replace the ROM, and that seems to have worked.

PA Roms work funny with root access on my device also. Just download and flash the latest SuperSU zip. If you already have it installed wipe the data first.

This is my wife's phone. I have a note 3 running stock 4.4.2 successfully rooted with cf auto root.
Hers is the S3 koodo version. Cf auto root runs and completes the process same as it did on my note but doesn't actually install either the su binary or apk.
I've tried towel root, device not supported and every google-able trouble shooting option available for towel root to no avail.
Kingo is also a failure.
I can flash twrp or cwm with hopes of flashing su that way, but neither of them detect or mount any storage (internal/external SD, system/data/cache partitions) and upon reboot they are automatically reverted back to stock recovery somehow.
Has anyone else successfully rooted the s3 i747m running stock 4.4.2 and if so what method was used? Thanks.
Just to be clear. I've spent hours on google and on XDA including all 3 methods from the following thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2787324
Can you load a custom recovery onto it?
Try using philz recovery. I've heard of that being successful when twrp and cwm have issues.

I used supersu to root my original phone on 4.1.1. this was maybe 2 years ago. i want to update to 4.4 but the root doesnt let me, so i uninstalled SuperSU hoping it would unroot and tried to update usin g"software update". still nothing--hitting the butting doesnt even register a click.
tried using odin to update but it stalls on one of the early processes (then i realized i needed root for this step!)
so i went to DL SuperSU again but installing it doesnt work: "There is no SU binary installed and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!"
What to do??
The simplest way to get to 4.4.2 via OTA updates would be to use Odin and flash back to completely stock 4.1.1.
Using Odin will wipe all data files on the phone.
