How do i root this version.Im not worried about tripping Knox flag.I dont find any solution.Help
This has been reported as working, I have not tested myself.
You need to be able to use Odin (Google that if you need to) and then use the Uniikernal Tar file at: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=36449
You can also install TWRP the same way, the TWRP Tar is at https://dl.twrp.me/zeroflte/

so when i connect my s3 to my pc kies tells me their is a firmware update but not sure what its for also i dont want to loose root
so my question is will i lose root after i run the firmware update threw kies? is their a way to keep root so i wont loose it after the firmware update?
Depends what the update is for. IF its just a minor update like a modem update then you wont lose root. If its a major update (like 500meg update) then its going to load the entire firmware file with the bootloader and system directory which will cause you to lose root. But its not a big deal, just reflash CWM via ODIN and then root using the 3.0.7 Superuser file that is floating around, I dont have it in front ofme.

how do you flash CWM via ODIN?
The same way you flash a ROM. You get the TAR version of the CWM, then flash it the same way, use PDA and dont touch anything else, it will basically overwrite the recovery image to the CWM one.

If you want to flash a custom recovery, then why did you use towelroot in the
first place, towelroot is for people who don't want to trip the knox counter.
If you are one of those people who don't want to trip the knox counter then
you cannot flash any custom recovery at all, flashing any custom recovery
will trip the knox counter..
So, if you don't care about tripping knox then why not root and install custom
recovery in the time proven way?
The time proven way is to first odin flash cf-autoroot and then odin flash twrp
custom recovery.
Here are the links to the odin flash cf-autoroot and the twrp recovery.
When you unzip cf-autoroot you will find cf-autoroot*.tar and Odin.
To make it easy for you, unzip cf-autoroot into an empty folder on your
computer's desktop and then copy the twrp tar file into it too.
CF-autoroot: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/45687485/CF-Auto-Root-hltetmo-hltetmo-smn900t.zip
TWRP custom recovery: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/45687485/openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.0-hltetmo-4.4.img.tar
Good luck!

well I tripped knox with superuser and busybox so I went past all that do I just put the recovery tar file in the PDA box of ODIN?
After Towel Root download TWRP and Term.apk then install Term.apk and use 'dd' to write the recovery image to the recovery partition.
dd if="recovery.img"of="/dev/block/mmcblk0p15"

Put the cf-autoroot TAR file into Odin's pda slot.
After you flashed the cf-autoroot let the phone
reboot and then go into download mode again
and odin flash the twrp recovery TAR file in odin's
PDA slot.
Good luck!
The device is already rooted so Chainfire's Auto Root is not necessary. If the device does not yet have a root manager (SuperSU, SuperUser) then one should be installed, but that can be done either before or after writing the recovery partition.

I was able to install CF root again but not the recovery.
Make sure you have the correct TWRP for your Android version and device.

Recovery is not seandroid enforcing is normal now for the bootloops link me to the recovery you used if u can
Sent from my bad ass Kryon infused TWEAKED..Note 3
True, and the solution is to flash one of the acceptable recoveries for your Android version and device; stock, TWRP, Philz.

I cant get a single recovery to flash into my phone not TWRP ot CWM. I am no youngling with flashing but I am stumped. Any help would be appriciated. I am on 4.4.2 build does it matter?
figured it out I had to flash it twice. thanks for the thoughts
Does stock recovery succeed and does it clear the SEAndroid warning? If yes, yes then I can only suggest that you are trying to flash an incompatible custom recovery. I don't use Windows so I can't check your use of Odin. Try writing the partition with 'dd' as I described earlier.

That also suggests that you somehow got the wrong TWRP. If your device is the SM-N900T and it is running Android 4.4.anything then this is what you need:
https://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/hltetmo/openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.0-hltetmo-4.4.img.tar
If Odin wants a zip instead of a tar then this instead:
https://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/hltetmo/openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.0-hltetmo-4.4.zip
Those are in the official TWRP repository.
Now that you got it working you probably want to leave it as it is, but while you have that procedure fresh in your mind is probably the best time to try to get the right TWRP working.

Confused about rooting with T999UVUEOH1
ok
If the phone is running a stock 4.3 Samsung ROM, the phone will have knox. Best thing to do would be to run OTA updates until the phone is running the latest ROM. This will ensure that the phone has the most recent bootloader and modem.
Once updated, you can easily root the phone by flash TWRP for the d2tmo via Odin. After installing TWRP, you can flash supersu 2.45 or 2.46 via TWRP and have root access.
Note that flashing TWRP will trip the knox counter.
Ok
The method I recommended should not cause any loss of data. To be safe, always backup before flashing anything.
Is there any warranty left on the phone? If not, tripping knox isn't going to matter.
Any attempts to downgrade the bootloader may result in a bricked phone.
Looks like the root66 method involves flashing a prerooted stock ROM. If you want to try the root66 method, just make sure the root66 ROM's bootloader and modem are the same or newer than the phone's version. If the phone has oh1, I would not use the root66 method.
Ok
Flashing TWRP and supersu from TWRP is the easiest in my opinion.
Just make sure to get the tar version of TWRP to flash in Odin.

Nahh!! The easiest way is use TowelRoot
Only need to press a button! I'm using that firmware so I CONFIRM that it's working
I guess it depends on the rom. It wouldn't work on stock 4.4.2 for me.
The kernel was patched against Towelroot in 4.4.2. We were never updated past 4.3 so it should work fine.

Greetings,
I have researched rooting this baseband version. I am new to this and wondering if I can use Odin to just root my phone. Tmobile just put this update on the phone and I am confused as what to do. Do I use CF auto root? Or is there no root process for the new update yet?
Thank you in advance
Jeff

Warranty (Knox) now void if you do this. You could flash twrp with Odin, then SuperSU 2.52 beta through TWRP. Next time post in Q&A section.

Thank you.
I have Odin 3.10 with CF auto root tar file. I am uncertain if that includes twrp and the supersu beta 2.52. I apologize of my ignorance. I have in the past just used odin to root my tmobile s4 and never had any issues. I am not concerned about voiding the warranty if there is an easier way to do this.
Thank you again

Assuming you understand how to use odin.
Odin CF autoroot to get root. That will still leave you still with stock recovery.
If to want twrp, get latest release
2.8.7 in .tar format. use odin to install. That simple.
Be certain to get the proper packages for your device.

^^ @jwent333 odin 3.04 and 3.07 seem to work better so if you have any issues switch to one of those and make sure your using the usb cord that came with the phone, if you can.
Thank you, everything worked perfectly.
CF auto root worked on my phone with this baseband
I am having troubble finding the correct CF Autoroot file for m919uvufok3
Any pointers would be appreciated - I checked chainfire's site already and here.
Or can I use CF-Auto-Root-jfltetmo-jfltetmo-sghm919 (even if it looks like it's for M919UVUFNH7)
Thanks in advance.
Another easy way to root would be to flash TWRP with Odin and then flash supersu from TWRP.
[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.
