Hello everyone
I rooted with kingo root I checked to make sure I have root access which I do. I have titanium back up pro, busy box and SU. I tried to use rom manager and I get and error that I can't flash the recovery.
I did some reading and saw that people liked twrp so I downloaded that and I'm getting the same result.
Not sure if I didn't something wrong or what.
Knox had been shut off so that shouldn't be the issue.
I just want a newer version software so I don't feel so outdated lol
Please any and all help would be great.

Hello everyone, first time poster. In need of dire help.
So I got an unlocked phone.
Tried to use the method on the galaxynote2 website ( you can find it if you google "galaxynote2root easiest method" )
However Now SuperSU is telling me "there is no SU binary installed, and SUPERSU cannot install it. There is a problem!"
I tried updating SuperSU and downloading a putting in manually a newer version.
I have no idea what's going on in my phone since root checker is telling me I don't have root.
What do I do?
Hell, the only reason I rooted it is to unroot it because the previous root made my phone act strange.
I really would like to give this phone in for warranty.

Also it's not like I used any ol' root. This individual has a huge youtube channel dedicated to the note.
Also I forgot to mention that when I finished rooting, knox did say it did allow some sort of permissions with super su or something along those lines.
Hi,
This is a great site.
I am doing this cause I deleted some photos by accident and want to use one single program that needs the phone to be rooted. Because there is no mass storage connectivity you know how it goes.
I used Odin3 to install "CF-Auto-Root-t03g-t03gxx-gtn7100.tar.md5" to my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 with Android 4.3.
Odin says "PASS!". When I try to start the SuperSU (version 2.01, was installed by Odin and CANT BE UPDATED in the play store, not even removed only opened form play store. This was the most common fix that people are giving to this situation, but it does not work for me because there is no update possibility) Because KNOX says unauthorized attempt to access not accessible areas. SuperSU does not prompt the possibility to terminate KNOX like some people are advising to do, even tough the 2.01 version of SuperSU should be able to do this. Even the RootChecker says that my phone is not rooted.
So my assumption is that the Root has not worked on my phone even tough Odin says so. So I want to try some other approach to root this phone. I just would like to know should I do some check for what Odin HAS changed in my phone and to try to change them back so I can for example try Kingos root safely.
So the questions are:
Does some one have a possible fix to my problem without me having to re root?
How can and what should I check before trying another root?
If I have to go back with stuff that Odin did, without it doing the root properly how can I do that?
And one a bit different question:
If I factory reset my phone it will install the 4.1 I thin on it, has no KNOX, will it write that on the part that is empty and might include that data of my deleted pictures or does it write it on the area that has the previous data of the Android system?
Thanks for advance if there is any advises.
Partial answer:
I followed basicly this instruction,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2538991
just needed to find the correct TWRP for my phone and used the older 1.65 SuperSU, there is something wrong with the 2.01 and it compatibility with my phone.
This video also helped cause the information was similar to the one in the link.

Installed the DiskDigger and got most of the photos, so now I need to find out how to convert it from root version to version so I can upgrade my phone.
Everything is really easy with Odin. If the packet that I installed with it first that does't istall the custom recovery system would have had some other KNOX combatible version of SuperSU I think it would have worked. No I just needed to use the KNOX remover to remove it from my phone.
Thanks for the form all the answers where her and it just took me some time.
Newly purchased at&t note II from swappa. All is well, phone in great shape... But seller believes the device to be rooted, but I can't seem to verify that. In settings it states running ezKat rom.... But superuser says no binary. But an app from playstore requested superuser access? Im confused. Downloaded terminal emulator shows $, not #.
Is it possible to have custom rom but not be rooted? Thanks!
Flash supersu via recovery and you should be good...
http://download.chainfire.eu/396/SuperSU/
Once booted....superuser may request a binary update...
If it does...just install it under the "normal" option...
Happy flashing....g
Thanks.... But...
Unfortunately, it didn't work. I flashed. Tried root checker. No root. Reflashed. Nope. The original owner sent me the file he flashed, that didn't work either. Im guessing at this point I should start from scratch? Full factory reset? . Ive never reset a phone that wasnt stock before? . The phone has twrp installed? Showing ezKat in the about phone section? At a loss... Dont want to brick it, I don't need a paperweight. Just want root
Any advice for me?
And THANK YOU!! I. Can't seem to find the thanks function here...
Yeh...
I'd probably go back and start fresh with an Odin back to stock 4.1.1...
Then root again...g
I rooted the phone 3 times, with and without the toolkit. It says successful each time and I can use Titanium backup. I tried to de-knox (wasn't told to do so) but it says it can't find root. Root checker says I'm rooted and I have TWRP.
What in the world could I have done wrong.
Any help would be helpful.
Try posting in the proper forum for help with your issue.

My friend wanted to root his phone on the go, so he downloaded King Root and it sort of worked(explained later) but for the app he wanted to use he didn't have proper root access, his SU manager(Some Asian language) gave that app permissions but it won't work because it kept asking for root access. That's when I took over, i downloaded SuperSU and when i went on it i needed it said SU Binary needs to be updated, I went OK and chose normal installation(Didn't have TWRP), it didn't work so i downloaded TWRP Manager and installed in, surprisingly I had root access on it. TWRP was installed successfully, so I went back to install SU Binary through TWRP installation, it keeps failing, IDK why...
So i'm gonna properly root his phone following this video YOUTUBE: /watch?v=FOaRQoJWWDw (I'm new so can't post links)
So since i'm gonna be rooting it again, do I need to flash stock ROM onto his phone?
All answers will be appreciated.
Is the bootloader unlocked?
I only see one recent report of kingroot v4 working on the M8, and it was on KitKat: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/general/kingroot-rooting-app-t2913123/page4
For the most part, root apps don't work on HTC devices unless you unlock the bootloader. At which point, the root apps are pointless, as you can just install TWRP and flash SuperSU to root, or any other variety of methods.
Also, I don't recommend using the toolkit to root as suggested in the YouTube video. The toolkits are outdated, install obsolete versions of TWRP, which will cause other problems. If you are serious about rooting and modding the phone, the best way to go about that is to read and learn the proper way (not with root apps or toolkits). The "sticky" guide and FAQ threads at the top of this forum section, and top of the "General" M8 forum section are a good place to start.
