[Q] Can't Root? What are my options?

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.

CANT ROOT: SUPERSU (superuser) no longer works after trying to reinstall

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.

Any way to root new Tmobile sm-p607t 5.1.1 firmware?

I just installed the newest firmware for my sm-p607t, which is android 5.1.1. i have tried all auto root methods like cf auto root,kingroot, etc etc. with no luck. I really need root for half my apps i use need it. Is there any way to get root on this newest firmware? It seems like this tablet has been forgotten about and no one seems interested in it anymore.

Maybe you need a permissive kernel like was needed for note 4 5.1.1 firmware..

No clue, but for the life of me I can't get TWRP to stick. As soon as It boots up it reverts back to stock recovery

Can you try to install twrp by odin first? Then you should be able to flash the root zip file.

twrp seems to be for android 4.4 still for the sm-p607t, also just tried it and it wont work either.

I didn't know there was another way to flash Twrp w/out Odin. , I tried flashing TWRP and it says it's flashes successful but Twrp doesn't stick. I suspect that Twrp does work it just gets over written. This also happens on Nexus with stock rom, although with bootloader you can boot directly into recovery, and flash zip and install rom or block stock recovery from sticking

DISCLAIMER: Try this on tour own risk, I am not responsible for fried tablets. Always backup.
At this time there is no root for the new t-mobile 5.11 firmware.
Also on Europe and Asia the P605 lte model of this tablet had the 5.1.1 update and have the same problem.
With this procedure you will have the updated 5.1.1 bootloader,baseband and the most important, root.
But with a 5.02 custom ROM.
The ROM is a port from the P905, galaxy Note Pro 12.2 lte, with added features and the magazine launcher.
This was my ROM before upgrading to 5.1.1.
After checking out the new stock t-mobile 5.1.1 firmware, honestly I was not impressed.
There are 3 small fixes on the ROM's thread, plus search on xda for the stagefright fix and you will have
a perfectly working full featured ROM.
Thanks to Alan-B, the developer.
Flashed the new P607T 5.1.1 firmware with Odin 3.09.
Boot OK and let it alone for 10 minutes. Reboot twice.
Back to download mode.
Flashed TWRP 2.8.6.0-lt03ltexx-4.4 with Odin.
This version of TWRP works OK, it is slow to
start up, but works.
Read that newer versions are having some issues.
Then flashed the Supersu 2.46 zip with TWRP.
Did 3 factory resets and wipe 3 times dalvik, data, system, and cache.
Then flash the zip of the P605 ver. 0.09 Pyrana ROM from the note 10.1 2014 ed. Development section.
Only Roms for the P605 lte tablet are compatible with the P607T.
For me the stock rom bootloops after flashing
Supersu 2.46 with Odin, so better have ready on
the sd card ver 0.09 of the 5.02 Pyrana custom rom.
Flashed it and my P607T boot up OK.
Ver. 0.11 of this ROM did not boot on my tablet,
even after flashing with Odin the boot.img, provided on the OP,
so stick with ver. 0.09 + the fixes.
So far, TWRP 2.8.6.0 recovery and my P607T working perfectly.

so you have Pyrana rom and root? or you have found this method to gain root to the official p607t firmware? (t-mobile android version 5.1.1) Because im seeking the official stock rom with touchwiz plus root. or if someone who can build a stocky rom + root.

The official P607T 5.1.1 firmware bootloops after
flashing supersu 2.46. Not sure if the reason is TWRP 2.8.6.0 or the supersu 2.46 zip not being
compatible with the 5.1.1 stock rom.
Will be good to try supersu 2.49 beta.
After bootlooping my last resource was going back to TWRP and flash the P605 Pyrana ROM.
Prefer to have updated 5.1.1 baseband and root with the 5.02 Pyrana rom than the full stock 5.1.1 rom without root.

same .... Pending a solution boot compatible !!!.

I tried the instructions on Post 144 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gala...3215876/page15
It works without doing Step 1 (i.e. on the Stock Tmobile ROM)! All credit goes to @bluecat for doing the work and @M3r71n0 for the English translation!

@sandibhatt - This link is not working for me. Were you able to root 5.1.1? If so can you please re-post a valid link or some instructions? Thank you in advance for your help.

SHORT SUMMARY FOR ROOT AND RECOVERY MOD FOR FIRMWARE P605XXU1EOI5
TRIP KNOX - TRIP KNOX - TRIP KNOX
1) Download firmware NEE-P605XXU1EOI5 (PDA: P605XXU1EOI5 CSC: P605OXAEOI5 CHANGELIST: 5849447 BUILD DATE: 19.09.2015) [Thanks @Rivendel]
2) Download Kernel with ramdisk mod [Thanks @Blue cat and @Chainfire]
3) Download TWRP-2.8.6.0-lt03ltexx [Thanks teamwin-TWRP]
4) Download BETA SuperSU v2.50 [Thanks @Chainfire]
5) Copy “BETA SuperSU v2.50” in SDCard
6) Flash "Firmware NEE-P605XXU1EOI5" with odin
7) Boot the system/tablet (Probably cannot recognize SIM card/forgets WLAN keys)
8) RE-Flash "Firmware NEE-P605XXU1EOI5" with odin
9) Boot the system/tablet
10) Flash "Kernel with ramdisk mod"
11) Boot the system/tablet
12) (In Odin with Auto Reboot UNCHECK) Flash TWRP-2.8.6.0-lt03ltexx
13) Run system in Recovery and install zip from SDCard "BETA SuperSU v2.50"
14) Boot the system/tablet
End
For those with Wifi or Data issues just reflash your 5.1.1 rom manually until it gets fixed. (Which is basically what steps 1-9 are for)
In short, if you are already on version 5.1.1 do steps 10~14
Exact Step by step:
1. Get into Download Mode
2. Odin Flash the Kernel
3. Reboot and then turn off
4. Go back into Download Mode and flash TWRP Make sure Auto-Reboot is unchecked and after flashing power down manually.
5. Get into recovery using the Button combo. (Note this may take a minute or two for first install)
6. Either Sideload the Beta SuperSU v2.50 or have it on a mSD card or something and flash inside TWRP.
7. Reboot and Enjoy Root!

Also, If you have updated the sofware from T-Mobile (607T) you don't have to reflash the NEE-P605XXU1EOI5 software.

I have been able to get the 5.1.1 installed, updated kernel, SuperSU Beta, and TWRP 2.8.7.0.
Now I keep getting a Security Notice that "unauthorized actions have been detected". I found a suggestion about opening SuperSU and it should fix it, but nothing has worked so far

@sandibhatt & @HermitDash Thank you for your help here guys! This worked perfectly!

problem with root
This root method worked, but did anyone else have an issue with the wifi not storing passwords after reboot?
Possible solutions: tried to find and clear duplicate entries in the wifi config file in the data folder.. but there was no wifi config file.

i have the same issue wifi passwords not storing after wifi on and off or a reboot

How to Root Koodo build number: KOT49H.I317MVLUDNH3?

I had used cf-auto-root to root my note 2 running build number KOT49H.I317MVLUDNH2 (koodo 4.4.2 stock). Worked great no issues, after root I used flashify to install twrp-2.8.7.0-t0lteatt.img.
My issue is recently I noticed an update from koodo (KOT49H.I317MVLUDNH3). Using kies I installed this update, which caused the phone to loose its root. I tried using cf-auto-root to root the phone again but no supersu.
Can anyone point me to a root method that will work with the new update? Notice the difference is the 3 at the end of the build, the os version remains 4.4.2.
Thanks in advance

You could just flash supersu via Odin or TWRP and you'll have it back again...
Also....2.8.7.0 is a bit buggy atm...so 2.8.6.0 may be a better choice...g

how do you flash supersu ?
I tried to root my galaxy note 2 using odin 3.10.7 and it was successful but after checking "about device" at the very bottom it says my phone is official which it is not, it was rooted successfully so I don't know why it is saying that. Also, supersu was not installed immediately after rebooting from odin, I had to manually download supersu from the play store. When I open up supersu, it says "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!"
What can I do ? thanks

Flash twrp to the note 2 via Odin. Then flash supersu.zip from twrp.

Help rooting sgh-m919 baseband FOK3....

[Solved, Read next Post] Hey guys, bought an S4 for wife and would like to root it. Read everywhere to root but not for this baseband version, FOK3. Even tried Odin 3.07 to install twrp then SU. I couldn't get the recovery tar to stick and was hung up on downloading mode. Does anybody know the proper steps and links to root this newly updated phone? I don't want to brick this puppy. Thanks.

[Solved] So I Downloaded CF- Auto-Root for the sgh-m919 Build ID NH7. I said F' it and went for it......Went into download mode, ran Odin that was included in CF Auto Root folder and loaded the .tar file and it actually worked! I rebooted and had SU with stock recovery. Then I went into download mode again and and flashed twrp via Odin. Even made a nandroid right away. Bam....custom recovery and rooted!!!! So if anybody is on the latest stock OTA FOK3 Build....this will work.
