Probably the simplest way is to install a custom recovery with Odin and then flash the SuperSu.apk with that recovery.
TWRP for the i747M; use this file -- twrp-2.8.7.0-d2can.img.tar 8.5M
Stable SuperSu the recovery flashable download is near the bottom of the OP

Flash TWRP with Odin, Use TWRP to flash SuperSU ZIP (not APK like above).

If twrp fails to mount system and or won't wipe (bootloop) then you may want to use a different recovery.
Every post seems to recommend twrp but it didn't work right on two d2att devices. I'm not super genious but I been having root on every device I have since about 2011. Its not a user error.

I'm using philztouch. Ported by RoryB. It works excellent with both devices. Just my two cents.

I did it with Odin. It works OK now.

To recover OTA updates you need to reset your binary counter. (you need root access)
So you should root your device again then reset your counter and finally flash a stock firmware.

and seems to run smoothly
thank you very much for your help

i need a EXPERT to resove this.. Geeks help me!

ok so i would ask of this beloved community to help me out in my quest to finally do a proper root on a samsung device
since i am not too fond of writting i have taken upon me the task to visually present the problem, which can be seen in the following screen shots
No.1 for all of you Techno Geeks like me, here is the basic information

No.2 Here is the result from the Root checker app (weird) - i DID the root via SAFEROOT on this forums
No.3 While opening Super SU and trying to update
and then
and when choosing NORMAL
OR when chossin CWM option
And FINALLY AFTER REBOOTING THE PHONE
so, mages, sages and holy emissionaries from XDAfrorums, gather in this noble quest and preach me the truths and values of ROOTING MY NOTE 2
IMPORTANT BACKGROUND
When i was on STOCK 4.1.2 i ROOTED the phone with no problem via FRAMAROOT APPLICATION found on XDA,
After flashing with ODIN the 4.3, this sh*t started to appear..
go to recovery and flash SuperSU flashable package and you should be good to go
or just use this tutorial
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1896696
Does it matter that my phone isn't rooted after reboot?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using XDA Premium HD app
that is how I rooted my n7100 from stock:
1. flashed recovery via Odin 3.09
2. go to recovery and install SuperSU1.65.zip
3. boot back to stock ROM and run SuperSU - you can update binaries
4. backup EFS and whatever I needed
5. install triangle away apk, run it, reboot
6. flash custom ROM via TWRP recovery

Can't root or install TWRP/CWM

So, I'm trying to root my T-Mobile T999 S3 using this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2563955&highlight=failed
I'm on the "Flash (install) the Knox Remover zip" in the recovery menu step, and I keep getting the "supersu failed to verify whole-file signature" error. I also get that error when I try to install SuperSU.
I figured that I needed to use CWM or TWRP but I can't get them to install. Odin says PASS but when I press Home + Volume Up + Power, I still get to the old, stock recovery menu.
What do I do?
EDIT: I downloaded the root66_TMO_T999UVUENC2.7z ROM from this page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1771687 and it has rooted my phone.
Should I keep it, is it the same?
Thanks.
Keep what? Your phone is rooted, isn't that what you wanted? If you want to use the Knox remover zip download and install flashify from the playstore and you can install twrp from there, after that boot into recovery and flash the zip

But that thread is from 2012. How is it that I downloaded a 2 year-old ROM and it kept my 4.3 and simply rooted it?
It feels like I just did a random thing and got the exact result I waned..
That's because the thread was updated recently to add the newer firmwares.
Notice the following.

Maybe if you try other recovery? http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.5-e975.img
Or try unofficial CM: http://dl.kevinjoa.me/cm/geehrc/
Hope it helps, and if it does, please click thanks
Thanks for the reply .... i have tried it with all recoveries... twrp gives error this package is for device : e975 , this device is geeb. Cwm and philz wont let me install it too... i wonder why twrp takes device as geeb.. fancy stuff eh.. and i installed recovery from twrp installer too just to make sure i have the correct recovery.. i tried editing the names in rom to geeb , passed through device mismatch error , but still it wont install..

Then open your recovery mode(twrp) and flash it.
My phone is Zenfone 2 ZE551ML so if your phone is not the same model please do not try it.
And thanks for solution " joaohkfaria".
