Cf autoroot fail? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4

So I'm trying to root a T-Mobile s4 running latest nh7, but when I try to flash cfautoroot using Odin it always fails to flash the recovery, it gives me fail (size), I read online that this is a partitioning problem but I can flash the stock firmware just fine, I also tried rooting with 3.07 and 3.09 both fail (size) can someone help?

Is the cf file up to date?

Yes it is the latest one, but never mind cause I just flashed the latest twrp tar and flashed supersu from there

mobile odin is version of odin you can use on your phone to flash tar files it is not a recovery stock roms are usually in a .tar format
Soo if I wanted tto go back to stock. Is using mobile Odin ideal? Stock meaning like no root, no rom, back to factory. I was looking at another thread. Someone was going back to stock to upgrade to jellybean, root it, nandroid, now they have a good fall back to fresh start

Mobile Odin will flash firmware directly from your phone and inject root

Mobile Odin can be set to inject root while flashing - but ...
If you are pre 4.12 and need to fix the SDS problem then apparently Mobile Odin doesn't flash the boot which is needed.
So if you are pre 4.12 and need the protection from SDS, then just flash and re-root it with CF Autoroot (takes about 5 minutes)
Or look at my signature download that prerooted rom OR our beloved dr.ketans prerooted rom x)
Ive used his guide to make a prerooted rom. U will gain root access + warranty

You have to flash with Mobile Odin for Everroot to work
Just upgrade and loose root.
Then root again. I did it and have root back after upgrading

Mobile Odin is an app created by Chainfire , it's in the Play Store. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.mobileodin.pro&feature=search_result
It allows you to flash directly on your device without a PC. It flashes from the SD Card directly.
One of the features it includes is "Everroot". This injects root directly into any new firmware that you flash.

Rooting without Odin

Is thwre a way to bypass odin and root with a pre rooted zip file or is osin the only way?

You need Odin or Heimdall (if on Mac)to install either twrp or cwm recovery. This does not root the device. A seperate zip file that must be flashed to root and is provided in your device specific root thread.
*edit this thread its reporting success without Odin or Heimdall but it's from China so may leave behind malware http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2403230

I did such. It worked. I did however forget to turn off reboot. It rebooted. I tried to boot to recovery. How long should booting into recovery take?

You need to download and Odin flash the official stock N900T NE6 firmware.
Here is the direct fast download link for it:
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358537528
The above zip file also contains Odin, CF-Autoroot and TWRP 2.7.0.1 recovery.
Be sure to go into recovery before Odin flashing NE6 and do a factory data reset
and a full wipe. Then Odin flash cf-autoroot and the TWRP 2.7.0.1.
If you want more information and or instructions here is the link:

Good luck!
