All of the threads I've been able to find to root this device seem to be out of date. I've tried several but each time I seem to wind up on a page saying the file is no longer available. Can anyone give me a link or method to root that is current?
Preferred method used to be:
1) store a supersu.zip on the phone.
2) flash TWRP with Odin, be sure to uncheck auto-reboot, pull battery on success
3) boot straight into TWRP with vol up + home + power (if you boot into unrooted system it will overwrite TWRP with stock recovery)
4) make a TWRP backup, just in case something goes wrong
5) flash supersu with TWRP then reboot to system
I haven't rooted stock on this phone in ages, but unless something has changed with newer versions of supersu this should work fine. Magisk might work too, but I haven't tried it on anything but custom roms with the i747.

Thanks. Also solved my problem with TWRP getting over-written.

So I had android 4.1.2 with root, keep getting the updates, so I went and found the 4.3 rooted rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2541900). I have stock recovery, but I was able to get rom manager to install it (since I had supersu). Flash it last night, then flashed the wif fix. After I installed the 4.3 rom, my phone was telling me to still update, not sure why.
So now my phone is stuck in this weird state.
No root access
4.3 installed (MK3)
Looks like the previous stock recovery (doesnt say KNOX or whatever for 4.3, just QUALCOM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE)
I cant flash any custom recovery's (CWM or twrp) through odin (3.07) they dont stick.
Factory Reset
In Rom Manager under Recovery Setup
Current Recovery: ClockworkMod 6.0.2.8
Latest Recovery: ClockworkMod 6.0.4.5
Idealy I would like to keep root access, but at this point, I REALLY want mobile data. This morning I found a few post that suggested the ##72786#, because I had no phone number it was (000-000-96??) or something. So now it shows my phone number, I could and can still make calls and send text.
Help!
Thanks!
[EDIT] Solved
So, I roughly followed this guide. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2538991
1) Did the Auto Root through Odin
2) Installed superSu
3) got root
4) flashed twrp via odin
5) Used Rom manager to get into recovery
6) flashed the MK3 modem and knox app remover
7) wiped delvik and cache
8) rebooted and got mobile data again!
Open Question: So when I press down vol + home button + power, I only get the stock recovery (green android guy), how do I get it to go to custom recovery without rom manager?
Thanks again!

Sounds like your in download mode, power off phone, try volume up, home, power button together, as soon as you see booting recovery in top left corner, let go.

So two days ago I thought about installing Vision X rom on my Note 3 (T Mobile).
I downloaded the ROM and then backed up my current ROM (nandroid). I had Phillz touch recovery then.
Then I thought about going to TWRP and thus I downloaded the latest zip for my phone and flashed it via Phillz upon trying to reboot into recovery it got stuck in the screen "Rebooting Recovery...".
When I restarted it would still try to reboot into recovery and get stuck. I got out of that by going into download mode and then selecting "Restart Phone".
After that I looked for solutions and upon failing to find any I thought about going back to stock and starting from ground zero. I managed to flash the latest stock using Odin however I forgot to do a factory reset before hand.
When I tried to do a factory reset in my, now stock, phone it failed and then got stuck trying to get into recovery. It would flash "Rebooting Recovery..." then restart and flash that in a loop.
I have lost my root as well in the process and trying to root using Odin and CF-Root just get's me back in the recovery boot loop. I can use the phone OK however this is not a stable situation.
I'm sure I've made some serious errors in the tinkering and would like to get my recovery back. I really love Custom Roms. Any kind and knowledgeable souls out there to help me in my cause?

Go to the Playstore and download TWRP Coordinator and then
use it to install the latest TWRP recovery for your phone.
Once you can get back into TWRP recovery you need to flash
the cf-autoroot for your phone. Be sure you flash the CORRECT
version of cf-autoroot for your phone's model.
Good luck!

The app is constantly crashing!
It would start for a second then close. I tried the TWRP manager as well with the same result.
I've lost root access when I Odined back to stock, won't I need root access to install new recoveries?
Sounds like you flashed the stock 4.4 firmware and now need recovery to root. Flash this TWRP file using Odin http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/hltetmo/openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.1-hltetmo-4.4.img.tar
Once you flash it, you need to boot into recovery to install supersu to root.
Switch off the Galaxy Note 3 (remove the battery and reinsert if needed)
Next, press and hold simultaneously Volume Up, Home and Power.Release the buttons when the screen flickers and wait for the TWRP menu.
Select Reboot, then System and install Supersu for root.
Once booted, open Supersu to update it and grant permission.
Hope this helps. Good luck.
So I ran the cf-autoroot thru odin, ran successfully and it rebooted. I then went and clicked on superuser and get the message There is no SU Binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem. So I went and downloaded TWRP 2.6.3.3. Went back into odin clicked my file in downloads and it looks like it installed it. I power off device then I hold down power and up volume and instead of going into any kind of recovery, of course I was hoping for TWRP so I can reinstall superuser from zip file. I have used TWRP on other devices all it does is reboot into my device and never opens up any recovery. If I hold down the down volume of course it correctly goes into odin after then holding the up volume. Does anyone know what im doing wrong...cant figure this one out. thanks
Figured it it *** can can thread, thx
flash twrp through odin.
1. odin flash cf autoroot
2.reboots
3.back to odin flash twrp
4. then go to twrp to flash the super user file or flash a custom rom which already has it.
I flashed the latest 20s Chinese ROM to unlock my bootloader and had trouble getting back to LEX727 19s ROM with a working SIM card, this what I did to fix it.
Goal: Get LEX727 back to 727 ROM from any Chineese Variant (LEX720) with a working sim card.
Logic: We need to get the phone back to as stock as possible so that we can flash dr4stic's ROM That will update from CN5.8.018s to US5.8.019s. First we need to install CN5.8.018s, but we need to do it from stock recovery, to get stock recovery back we use a TWRP backup made by suhridkhan, then copy the CN5.8.018s zip, rename it to update.zip and allow the phone to do it's thing It will take quite awhile to flash the stock CN5.8.018s ROM, but when its done we can then install dr4stic's ROM, but first we need custom recovery again, since we flashed stock recovery when we used the TWRP backup. So we reflash custom recovery (I recommend GrossoShop's TWRP as that is what worked for me, however others may work). Reboot into fastboot, fastboot flash recovery the GrossoShop TWRP, then we go back to recovery. Now we can install the upgrade ROM. Once the upgrade ROM is installed, we can reboot and we'll have a completely stock version of the LEX727 ROM with Stock Recovery. (oobe state)
STEP 1 INSTALL WORKING ROM
1. You will need a working ROM to copy the TWRP unzipped files to the phone (figure this out on your own, but you should already have something that works)
STEP 2 STOCK RECOVERY
1. Restore this TWRP backup
1. Send the unzipped files to your phone in TWRP/BACKUP/<Device_ID>/TWRP. (You need a working ROM to do this with USB, you can try adb pushing the .zip and adb shell unzipping but I had permisison errors. and found it easier to just move the files unzipped)
2. Reboot into recovery, Advanced Wipe everything except Internal Storage (where your backup is)
3. Restore from the TWRP backup, before restarting, do a factory reset wipe and dalivik.
4. Reboot, and you SHOULD be in the LEX727 Rom, however your sim card will not be recognized depending on the modem firmware you came from.
STEP 3 GETTING DOWN TO CN5.8.018s
1. Since we have stock recovery, we can now use it to flash down to the right Chineese ROM version for dr4astic's ROM update to work.
2. Setup the phone, and copy LE_ZL1_LEX720_CN_5.8.018S.zip, then rename it to update.zip
3. Install the update through the phone settings or browser. (It will take quite a while 15ish minutes)
4. The phone may reboot into an endless boot loop where it just keeps redoing the same startup flash, To get past this reboot into recovery and perform a "Clear data" wipe.
5. You should now be in the stock version of LEX 720 5.8.018s
STEP 4 USING THE UPDATE ROM
1. We need to flash a custom recovery again (I recommend GrossoShop's as that is what worked for me, however others may work)
2. Reboot into fastboot and flash your recovery software
3. Wipe everything, data included and reboot back into recovery.
4. adb push the update ROM and install it, wipe dalvik and do a factory reset wipe before restarting.
5. When you tap restart system from TWRP the phone will vibrate for about 7ish seconds, dont do anything, just let it do its thing. It will reboot and go to a black screen, then finish rebooting.
(this is perhaps the most risky step as we are returning to a stock ROM with stock recovery and might loose our unlocked bootloader)
6. You should get everything back to stock ROM with working SIM card and an unlocked bootloader.
note: I will be saving local copies of all the files required indefinitely, so if any of the above links break, I will re-upload.

Hi,
Your link to CN5.8.018s-to-US5.8.019s.zip is down. Is it possible that you provide this file again?
Thank you!
Hi all I have been tinkering away and destrying my setup left right and centre to sort this process out but if you're unable to run the latest TWRP for your note from Ian and get stuck at SAMSUNG screen on boot then this process will fix that if followed correctly. This is due to the device's roll back protection.
This process will reset everything back to current date and get everything working on the new Oneui 2.1 base
Process for getting round SAMSUNG screen issue - please read through first and get the files you need before starting. I did this on my N976B but in theory it should work for other 10-range devices, notes indeed!
UNLESS YOUR RUNNING CRUEL KERNEL OR A SPIN OFF, YOU'LL NEED VOL UP AND POWER TO ACTIVATE MAGISK ON EACH BOOT
Needed:
Stock firnware
Magisk app
Twrp image
Pc and odin also patience and a brain lol
-Return to stock by flashing AP/BL/CP&CSC in odin
-Reboot and confirm oem unlocking greyed out, install magisk app and patch twrp image from Ian, also patch your ap file.
-reboot to download, meanwhile get the magisk_patched.tar and insert TWRP renamed as recovery.img in place of the stock patched recovery (keep this one for later)
-In download mode and with auto reboot off in odin, flash BL, Magisk_patched.tar(with the TWRP from Ian in), CP & HOMECSC.
-When flashing is complete exit download mode and immediately hold power and vol up and hold until on TWRP slider screen. swipe to allow modifications, format internal storage and flash multidisabler.
-Reboot TWRP and backup your current patched stock rom. FLASH THE STOCK PATCHED RECOVERY YOU SAVED EARLIER AND THEN FLASH MULTIDISABLER (THIS IS IMPORTANT AS YOU WILL THEN BE ABLE TO INSTALL TWRP VIA THE APP WITHOUT HAVING TO REFORMAT INTERNAL)
-Reboot straight to stock recovery (reboot from TWRP and hold Vol up and power until in stock recovery) and factory reset then reboot.
-You should now boot up as normal, setup your device, in particular have TWRP app and Magisk set up and running.
-Flash the Unpatched TWRP for your device in the TWRP app - reboot TWRP and check the box to kill that annoying swipe to allow modifications and then you are good to flash whatever rom or kernel you want for your device!
Flash the stock patch recovery as boot??

i have just helped someone through this on TG so it defo works :good::good::good:
It can also confirm this is working. Just followed this guide on my Note 10+ (N975F with CTD1) and happy flashing now.

Excellent, thanks for testing!!!!!!!
@askmydas
you may find this useful - follow this to get your sec date reset then follow the process spelt out in the thread of the rom you want to use as you may need a different TWRP depending on what sec date the chef of your chosen rom uses.
Hey, when I get to " FLASH THE STOCK PATCHED RECOVERY YOU SAVED EARLIER" I try to do this and it tells me I don't have enough space. Any ideas?

I worked it out, I was trying to install "recovery.img" to boot partition, "recovery.img" needs to be installed to RECOVERY partition. Silly me. Fixed it now, but have a new issue:
After I flash unpatched twrp image through the app, now my phone will only boot into TWRP. I don't even boot with recovery button presses, but it will still boot into TWRP only. Any ideas?
I know this is an old thread, but it may be that my solution could help someone who is locked on the outside of the device (softbrick)
TD,DR: If you have softbrick and you can't boot the device at all, try flashing via Odin the BL, CP, CSC from a stock rom and the AP of another completely different stock rom.
I had an IMEI 0000 issue on my Galaxy Note 8 (SM-N950F), using Hades Rom (custom), and I needed to install the stock rom. As I was on the F(15) binary, there were only two roms (SamMobile and Stockrom.net) available for my country (Brazil) with this binary:
N950FXXUFDUD6_N950FOXMFDUD6_ZTO
stockrom.net_N950FXXUFDUG5_N950FOXMFDUG4_ZTO
And a via Frija:
SM-N950F_1_20210717024140_0wmgsx8iwf_fac
And no Combination Rom for that binary
After flashing these roms several times, I was always stuck on the “Powered by Google” screen, even doing cache wipe and factory reset through stock recovery several times. So I flashed the N950FOXMFDUD6, flashed the CF-Auto-Root and was able to boot the device. Once inside I noticed that it didn't solve the problem of IMEI 0000. I tried a few more procedures, ended up restarting to install TWRP, and the OEM is closed!!! (OEM OFF, Prenormal). I start getting the message “only official binaries are allowed to be flashed(recovery)”. I flash the stock rom, but it gets stuck on “Powered by Google” again. I tryed to install CF-Auto-Root and I get the message “only official binaries…” I can't log into the device anymore. So after four days of desperation, trying every technique possible, trying to create the Combination Rom by unzipping the AP file from the stock Rom and modifying the files inside, without success, I finally try a procedure I haven't seen anywhere else: I go to the modified Odin: Odin3_v3.14.1_3B_PatcheD, I selected the BL, CP, CSC files from the N950FOXMFDUD6 rom and the AP file from the rom SM-N950F_1_20210717024140_0wmgsx8iwf_fac
And it worked! I can boot the device
