Does anyone know if there's a quick and relatively simple way to root NJ2? All I want is root to be able to better troubleshoot battery issues on my wife's phone. Pretty sure towelroot won't work from what I've read. I do have experience with odin and that'd be fine too.
Thanks guys!!
Install the latest twrp using Odin. Then flash supersu.zip version 2.46 in twrp.

Hello everyone,
My brand new n5100 came with 4.1.2 out of the box, but upgraded to 4.2.2 OTA immediately (XXCMI1).
Right after that, I tried to install either CWM or TWRP through Odin3, with no success. It says PASS, but when I boot in recovery (home+vol.up+power), all that I have is stock recovery.
Does anyone know what's going on? Any ideas on how to do it?
My final objective is to root the device. Framaroot exploits are no working anymore. Should I proceed installing a custom kernel? I am afraid of having a locked bootloader or so, and bricking my new toy due to that.
Thank you in advance!

Use CF Autoroot to root the device. Then install which ever recovery you want.

Tnx man.
Worked like a charm.
Hello All,
I recently flashed KitKat 4.4.2 successfully but now I need to re-root. I see dodgy posts about rooting certain ways. Can someone please point me to the right direction in the easiest and safest way to root on KitKat? Thanks!

You can use CF Auto Root to re-root the phone. The only problem is this method will trip the Knox warranty void counter which can't be reset at this time. You flash it through odin and after it roots, you need to disable Knox. To do that, download (or update) SuperSU and when you run it for the first time, it will give you an option to disable Knox for the root to fully work. Finally, you can install the custom recovery. While this is optional, this is strongly recommended. You can use CWM or TWRP by downloading from either ROM Manager or Goo Manager depending on what recovery you want. After doing that, you should have a fully working root
Download CF Auto Root: http://download.chainfire.eu/233/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-d2spr-d2spr-sphl710.zip
You can also flash the SuperSU zip after using Odin to flash a custom recovery (I recommend philz)

Hi guys, I just got a galaxy s4 for t mobile and it came with 4.2.2 version of android. I'm scared to brick the phone but I really want to root it. Can someone point me to the right direction? Been reading some tutorials but they are for different versions of android. How do I root my phone without bricking it or tripping Knox?

4.2.2 doesnt have Knox. Use CF-Auto Root by Chainfire to root.

Thanks! Now it seems that cf auto root comes with a stock kernel and recovery. Is this changeable? Can I install a custom recovery and kernel after using cf auto root? Or should I find a different method of rooting for this? Are there any safe ones out there. It seems that a lot is outdated and I'm afraid of installing the wrong thing.

I don't know if towelroot will root 4.2.2, but it doesn't install a recovery.

You're calling a rooting method outdated while using the exact "outdated" software it was meant to root in the first place. CF-autoroot is as safe as safe can be. In fact, I know it still works for 4.3 and I THINK 4.4.2; it just trips the KNOX counter on them... still gets the job done though.
As far as your concern of installing the recovery; it first flashes its own recovery so it can use an exploit, then reverts it back to stock. I believe the kernel is untouched.
If your end goal is to move on to custom recoveries and custom ROMs you can bypass the rooting process altogether and go straight for the recovery/ROM.

This.
You really don't need CF Auto Root at all until all you want to do is root the stock rom.
If you want to install a customer rom, use Odin to install a custom recovery and flash whatever you want from there.

That's precisely my end goal. And I guess my question is how to do this safely with the Android version I have.
I didn't mean the root method was outdated; I was talking about some of the information that's on the general forum regarding root. There is even a post on one of the stickies asking for updated info in May. This scares me because for all I know I can follow one of these methods to root or install a custom recovery/rom and end up with a brick because something is no longer compatible.
I guess my question is: what is the best (updated) method of installing a custom rom/recovery for my tmobile s4 with android 4.2.2?
Use cf autoroot and flash clockworkmod through Odin. Download rommanager. Download a rom. Hit install rom from SD card. Pick your ROM from downloads.

I understand your apprehension, i really do. What I've said to do has worked for me when i got the phone over a year ago, and has worked here recently when i did it again. I'm trying to tell you there is no need for an updated way of doing what you want. If you want root, use CFauto root. Like i said, that method was done specifically for MDB and MDL firmwares, there is no better choice. Newer yeah, but better? Not a chance. Your firmware is equally outdated and it's worked for millions of users without fail.
As far as a custom ROM goes, find one you want to use, put it on your SD card, pick a recovery (CWM, Philz, or TWRP), flash that in Odin, boot to recovery (power+volume up) , do a full wipe (system, data, and cache) select the ROM, and flash. No need to root at all if you want to go straight to a custom ROM.
EDIT: Obviously, you might want to perform a nandroid backup once you flash your recovery... but that's really optional as long as you have the stock Odin-flashable firmware. Totally up to you.

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.
HI, I got my son a wifi P600 note 2014 for his birthday a while ago, and it came with kitkat on it, so i was able to update it, install twrp, and root it. Now i bought another one for my girlfriends son, but his came with 5.1.1 LMY47X.P600UESDPL1 already on it. I cant find any information on whether or not i can install twrp, and then do the cfauto-root just like i did on the other one. Has anyone out there done this yet, or is it pretty safe to try it and i can fix a brick with Odin? I've been a Motorola and HTC guy, don't have the whole Samsung thing down yet.
Thanks, Mark
If CF has LP on autoroot website its good.
That exact version number of 5.1.1 is not on the autoroot website. But I believe the update on the tablet was just some security updates, so I thought mAybe auto root would still work. But if it don't work will it just fail or will it brick it. Can I use Odin and a stock fw file to at least get back to stock from a brick?
Just reread what you said, and now I'm thinking your saying that as long as Cf-autoroot page has a 5.1.1 lp version for the p600 it will work on any 5.1.1 update of the p600?
Why not just do it the old fashioned way? Flash twrp using odin and then directly boot into twrp and flash the latest supersu binary from the chainfire's website. I just did this with PL1 firmware and everything is running fine. Installed busybox, fdroid and adaway eveything working just fine with root permissions
Just so everyone knows it did work rooting with cf-auto-root , then I was also able to flash twrp with Odin. Everything is working great.
Hey I have the same tablet and version but new to this topic and don't know how to root my tablet. I'm searching for a guide for my device. Do you have some tips? Or maybe will explain how you did it?
