indeed, the version currently in OP should work fully now. using supersu 1.65 should net you root. just gutta wait for teh awesome devs to make yall some roms now. there are some things still left needed to be fixed for 4.3/note3 stuff.
dont restore any backups until this selinux stuff is fixed/figured out, luckily its a note 3 issue so all the note 3 people will be working on it .
this is a 4.3 thing but dont have my recovery fix root/remove scripts. you need them for root, when i get some time ill trash that stuff and compile a better version but for now just click no

Thank you for your work on this - I am amazed that you rooted the 3 so quickly!
When you say don't restore any backups, are you talking about Nandroids or TiBU files?

nandroids, currently there is an issue where selinux flag isnt being set properly when restoring data and then causes bootloops. titanium backup should be good
just to be clear, i didnt root the note 3, you guys had an unlocked bootloader it means rooting was as simple as flashing recovery. i included rooting steps in my OP to help people out.

Great Work Shabby!
Thanks for allowing me to assist you in getting it up and running!

Weak, stay and hang out a while

I was able to get the recovery to install and also the supersu. Once I rebooted it offered to repair root which I selected no per instructions but when I login to the stock room now after installing recovery and SU I receive an error that SuperSU has stopped and it never opens or allows me to open rooted applications.

Just re-run the CF-Auto Root instructions to the T and you should be back in business. I had the same issues and just used CF auto Root and it resolved my issues and I have root with no seen issues so far. Just got the device literally 1hr ago and just finishing up on it. Also if you installed a recovery you will have to ODIN back to OUDHS to get that back. I am holding off until I see some Jellybomb

Try another program
Try this program http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=739300
Download it. Exract it. Make sure you have USB Debugging enabled on your phone. Run the one click root application from your pc you've just downloaded. The application will install the update.zip...Then your phone will reboot into recovery. Make sure you click "Reinstall Packages" in recovery. Use Volume keys to move up or down...and the power button to make your selection.

Any idea why?
Thanks a million
It may be because you are on 2.2. Are you able to use your phone? Or did it get bricked? If so i am totally sorry. But i will be more than glad to help you start from scratch. That is...go back to 2.1 and run the one click program you've just installed. That is how i rooted my vibrant. Just let me know if everything is ok...sorry i shouldve told you that this program was for 2.1.

I have assumed that it had something to do with 2.2. Googled the google out of it.
ODINing into 2.1 NOW
will update!
Thanks a mill
UPDATE: GOT IT !!!!!!! I GOT ROOT !
Now - how do I get CWM?
Check to see if you have the super user app installed. If so then you are rooted. Then proceed by downloading rom manager from the android market. Once rom manager is downloaded "allow" any permissions that it is requesting. Then click on install clockwork recovery. Then look for your device once it tells you to. Then you can reboot to recovery from rom manager or by using the 3 button combo.

Further help
couldn't install Rom Manager since using 2.1 Eclair (not compatible?)
Tried regular way of installing CWM
why is this happening:
I dont think you can flash a recovery CWM from heimdell or odin. Only way i know of is from rom manager. Rom manager should be compatible on 2.1. Are you sure you are rooted. If you don't have the super user app installed well you don't have root access. Super user app shouldve installed automatically once you ran the one click program from earlier. Easiest way to install CWM is from rom manager.
must be your lucky day.
1. download attachment
2. place it on your SDcard
3. rename the attachment to update.zip
4. get to 2e recovery using 3 button combo
5. re-install package, if it goes back to 2e recovery, re-install packages again
6. you should see the green CWM.
7. flash away?
cheers.

one last tip: always keep the update.zip in your sdcard.
and if your ever odin back to JFD again, just go straight to 2e recovery and re-install packages, and flash away, NO ROOT NEEDED.
cheers.
OK. I am having the same issue. This used to be my phone. Gave it to my mom about 6 months ago. Got her a Sensation XE so she gave it back. It was rooted and running CM7 prior to giving it to her. Flashed it back to Eclair via Odin, updated to Froyo via Keiss than gave it to her.
Went to root via the update.zip process and low and behold got E:signature verification failed. Tried Super One Click - same result.
Odin'd back to 2.1. Can't get Rom Manager on the phone. Not in the market. Downloaded the apk and get a parsing issue. BTW, root via update worked on 2.1. Decided it was a bad flash via Odin so I repeated the whole process just to get stuck back at can't root with 2.2 and can't get access to CWM via 2.1.
Sooooooo...... now what? Never had an issue rooting ANY phone so far.
What gives and help!?
If you want to root your phone, click on my signature and download the SuperUser.zip, rename it to Update.zip and put it on your internal card. Boot into recovery and hit Reinstall Packages (twice maybe) and then reboot it. You will see a SU icon in the app tray and you will be rooted but still be on 2.1.
If you want CWR recvovery, see 6 posts up. Xtone has it all mapped out for you. Just follow his instructions and you are good to go. Note: If you are using this method, you will need a custom ROM to flash after it reboots from stck (blue) to CWR (green) rocovery.
Koush is not supporting CWR for Eclair anymore so that is why you are seeing it in the market when you are on 2.1
Grabbed the file from your signature. BUT...
Still getting:
-- Install from sdcard...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
Any thoughts? Like I said. I have already ran through the steps. Any chance anyone has a link to Rom Manager that is still supported in Eclair? This is irritating in the fact that I can root in 2.1 but not get access to CWM and get access to CWM and NOT root in 2.2. Again, this is just a "putzing around" phone and not a big issue but if someone else is having this issue, it warrents a looksy. I am not new to rooting and I know how to do this it is just taking WAY to long.
Update: Got it. Read the next post for file links and instructions. Ha, this makes me look nooby :-(

[GT-N710x][SHV-E250*] CF-Auto-Root

Check your device model ! Settings -> About device -> Model number. See the third post for exact supported model numbers. If your device is a totally different model, it will not work (may even brick) !
CF-Root is the root for "rooting beginners" and those who want to keep as close to stock as possible. CF-Root is meant to be used in combination with stock Samsung firmwares, and be the quickest and easiest way for your first root.
Donate
CF-Root has been available for many device (Galaxy S1, Galaxy Tab 7", Galaxy S2, Galaxy Note, Galaxy Nexus, Galaxy S3) and has clocked over 7 million downloads. This is not even counting custom ROMs that already include it. Don't be a leech, buy me a beer (and use the "Thanks" button!). Imagine if every CF-Root user has donated me $1...
Coming from a different device ?
Keep reading, the new CF-Auto-Root incarnation of CF-Root is different from other CF-Root's.
What's installed
- SuperSU binary and APK
- Stock recovery
Installation and usage
Flash the CF-Auto-Root package as PDA in ODIN (details on how to do that are in next post), and your device should reboot into a modified recovery (signified by a large red Android logo) and it will install SuperSU for you and restore the stock recovery, and reboot back into Android.
If you don't get to the red Android logo, boot into recovery manually ("adb reboot recovery", or boot while holding Power+VolUp+Home).
Using this root increases your flash counter. You should run Triangle Away (see below) after rooting to reset the counter. Note that if you want to run custom kernels or custom recoveries, your flash counter will be set to 1 at every boot. Either configure Triangle Away to reset the counter at every boot (Play version only) or only reset the counter when you need to go into warranty.
Did you see the red Android logo during rooting, but SuperSU does not appear? This may sometimes occur due to left-over files and settings, however, you can usually install SuperSU from Google Play at this stage and it'll just work.
Why isn't this just called CF-Root
Because it's not a traditional CF-Root with all the bells and whistles. This is a new class of CF-Root I'm going to make for more devices that keeps everything stock and just gives you only root. I'm "done" with permanent custom recoveries, they cause too many issues on new devices, in my opinion. The "Auto" comes from the fact that I'm building it in such a way it does most of the work automatically without me having to adjust any code. It's a larger project I was not yet wanting to release, but because so many people have asked me to release a CF-Root for the Note2, here is the early Note2 version.
Not included - Triangle Away
Triangle Away can be used to reset the flash counter after installing CF-Root. The flash counter keeps track of how many custom firmwares you have flashed, as this voids warranty. (No idea what this about ? Read up on it, you will want to use this !)
Not included - adbd Insecure
As this CF-Root does not include a custom kernel, adb shell does not have root access by default (you can still get it by typing su inside the shell), nor is adb remount supported, nor will adb push and adb pull work on system files. adbd Insecure can be used to remedy this situation. (No idea what this is about ? Don't worry about it !)

[CENTRAL] CF-Auto-Root
For requests for new roots and generic discussion - please keep device specific discussion in the thread you are viewing now.
ODIN Installation (detailed)
- Follow these instructions to the letter. Do not touch any buttons or checkboxes that are not listed below to touch!
- Unzip the attached Odin3-vX.X.zip file
- Download and unzip the CF-Auto-Root-....zip file (see posts below this one)
- If you end up with a recovery.img and cache.img file, you've extracted twice. You need to end up with a .tar.md5 file - don't extract that one
- (USB) Disconnect your phone from your computer
- Start Odin3-vX.X.exe
- Click the PDA button, and select CF-Auto-Root-....tar.md5
- Put your phone in download mode (turn off phone, then hold VolDown+Home+Power to boot - if it asks you to press a button to continue, press the listed button, or run adb reboot download command)
- (USB) Connect the phone to your computer
- Make sure Repartition is NOT checked
- Click the Start button
- Wait for Android to boot
- Done (if it took you more than 30 seconds, you need practise!)
- NOTE: Sometimes the device does *not* boot into recovery mode and root your device. Just do the entire procedure again if this happens. If it still will not install root and such, make sure that in Odin "Auto Reboot" is not checked. Then after flashing, pull the battery, and boot with VolUp+Home+Power button to boot into recovery manually. This will start the install process.
New to Samsung? Unfamiliar with Odin? Think all the above is a hassle? Get used to it. It's very simple, and us Samsung folk use Odin (or Mobile ODIN ) for everything! It's so very very convenient once you get used to it. Notice the 30 second comment above? For experienced users, the entire process indeed takes only 30 seconds!
You may now optionally want to install and run Triangle Away to reset the flash counter.

By reading the first post it doesn't look like CWM is included, but the stock recovery and that's why.

No, this doesn't have advanced cwm.

Unfortunately, NC5 has built-in tools to prevent rooting. Any rooting process done with ODIN or bootloader is disabled on startup (thus, the Android is upgrading grey window). Until someone finds a workaround, I don't think there is a way yet. Which stinks, since I'm stuck in the same boat you are.

Just use chainfires cfautoroot for the 9005, use Odin 3.09, then Odin twrp 2.7.01, flash superuser and you're good to go.

I booted up my fresh install of NC5
I reboot to upload mode and install TWRP
I let the phone boot normally
I reboot to recovery
I let TWRP install root when rebooting
During bootup, "Andriod is upgrading" gray box pops up, but it doesn't do the usual "Upgrading app x of y" message
I got to the app drawer, open SuperSU
I get the error "There is no SU binary installed"
Same thing happens when I use ODIN Auto Root.
the only explanation I can think of is that the ROM checks for root on bootup, and if it exists, removes Superuser access.

Did you use CFautoroot first for the 9005? And using Odin 3.09 seems to play best with our phones, you may have just had a bad experience with your attempt, you can always try rjwilcos one click method or micmars nc5 tar and go back to complete stock and try the process again.

I'm on NC5 and it took me a while to rot and get twrp to install on my n3. Here is what I did.
I used Odin 3.09
completely turn off phone
go into download mode
flash CFroot n900p to root
Let it go thru a full boot, then turned it off
Go into download mode
flash twrp 2.7.0.0. or 2.7.0.1
that did it for me.

I am going to guess that part of my issue was bad flash and part wrong AutoRoot version. I had been using 9005, but the n900p from the below post worked better.

This also was the working process for me. Honestly, it was the same order I was doing things, but for some reason being patient on the reboots helped. It probably also helped prevent issues with the flashing. Long story short, both these posts helped, and the process listed by rosystreasures is what I would suggest.

How to restore nk4 & update to lollipop (GUIDE)

this guide is for those who have tripped knox. as well as those who haven't. so pay attention.
1.
power phone down completely. remove battery remove your sd card if you have one.... replace battery.
2.
press & hold the power & Volume + and home button at the same time. you will boot to download mode.

now i flash nk4 at this time it plug in and flash nk4 tar.
you can see it will boot to stock recovery and see a progress bar.
let it go. it will then reboot again. after this time myself personally wait till device turn on and shows signs of booting. (i.e when i see the android optimizing apps i pull battery)
3.
replace battery back in. boot to stock recovery. this is hold power & volume - together and boot. in stock recovery do a factory reset.
i do several. call it ocd. let the phone boot back up. it should take the update. let it do its thing. files over 920mb in size. mine took 20 minutes to dl. after its all done and booting and you see the sign like i said before. i pull the battery
(NOTE)
(IF KNOX ISNT TRIPPED FOR YOU AND YOU WISH TO REMAIN THAT WAY.DO NOT CONTINUE ON TO OBTAIN ROOT.YOU CAN TRY CF AUTO ROOT. SOME SAY IT WORKS I PERSONALLY HAVENT A CLUE.)
4.
next step is i boot back to the download mode we talked about earlier. (via a battery pull)
then i flash a customer recovery in odin . your personal choice. personally i use philz
5.
Now after she reboots and once again shows the signs of booting i said earlier. i pull battery, replace the sd card you removed earlier.
6.
boot back to recovery. i then flash supersu
7.
reboot and let it do its thing and your fully rooted on lollipop. pretty easy here is my hidden jem folder. if you need odin and such, i have a few versions. https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=devices&uid=22979706399755534
Boom!
Worked like a charm. I posted last night looking for these directions exactly how you've laid them out. I appreciate it!
well done, sir!
To enter download mode, I had to press volume -, home, and power, then press volume + to continue.
Doing this process now. Hopefully be able to reply soon on its success!
EDIT: Currently downloading the new update! *excited*
I'm not sure if I'm blind or what, but how do you boot to your custom recovery? I've installed Philz Touch from your link, I've powered the phone down, pressed vol+ and power and even vol- and power, both don't work. I've had to press vol+, home, and power to boot to recovery but it appears to be stock recovery still...I'm guessing the Odin install for the custom recovery didn't take?
---------- Post added at 08:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:24 PM ----------
Ok, I got it. For the noobs like me, I had to untick "Auto Reboot" when I installed the custom recovery. I'm sure it is common practice to do so but I didn't know. Once I did that, custom recovery took and I was able to boot to it and install supersu.
Thanks for this thread @kaos420.
will this work if you have twrp recovery
i may be putting this in the wrong thread. I have a note 3 sm-n900p running 4.4.4os with twrp recovery and want to unroot in order to get the OTA update lollipop, confused on the sd card removal like to know if this will work yes I have knox tripped. thanks

Enter Downlaod mode from powered completely off.
Uncheck "Auto reset" and pull the battery after flash.
First thing you need to do is boot into your custom recovery to patch your ROM (it should automatically do so assuming it is written to do so), otherwise the ROM will rewrite the stock recovery to recovery partition.
I was on oc5 and mesed up with launcher and tried to go back to 4.4.4. It goes well without any problem. Started and downloaded ota 5.0.. flashed cf autoroot and all is good. Thank you for this tutorial

Root s7 at&t g930a & g935a

Warning this is engboot, meaning its not made to be used on day to day basis you may run into some issues. Hopefully we can fix them as we go!
Also do not update supersu through playstore untill we are for sure that it wont mess anything up
Notice from @Chainfire:

You will need:
- Engineering boot images
- Patched version of Odin3 (only AT&T models ?)
- Extract files, and run root.bat with adb on the path
This version of SuperSU is not officially supported. I recommend against updating the APK from the Play Store, or otherwise updating the binaries, unless someone knowledgable has tried before you and confirmed it worked.
If it breaks, you get to keep all the pieces.
First of all thanks to @Chainfire for helping achieve su
I take no responsibility for anything that happens to your device, same goes for everyone that helped.
1. Download Modified Odin and Engineering Kernel
Odin:
MOD EDIT: DOWNLOAD LINK REMOVED
This is special Odin to bypass SHA-256 made by Princecosmy
Second file you will need is
Kernel:
G935A (Edge) MOD EDIT: DOWNLOAD LINK REMOVED
G930A (S7) MOD EDIT: DOWNLOAD LINK REMOVED
This is the engboot
2. Flash the kernel to your phone
a. Boot into download mode (Power, Volume Down, and Home button)
b. Put the Kernel file into AP on Odin
c. Flash, and boot phone
3. Download SuperSU made for our phone, and extract into C:\adb\super
(You're going to need to create the "super" folder)
SuperSU: https://download.chainfire.eu/968/Su....74-2-S7QC.zip
4 Open a command prompt in C:\adb
(Shift right-click in the folder, click "Open command window here")
then navigate to the super folder: type "cd super" into the command prompt
5 Enable USB debugging on your phone, and enter the following command into the command prompt
a. "Root.bat"
(This is what the command prompt will display when finished:

6. The program should run, reboot your phone, and you have root!
For the bounty id prefer if you just donate to [email protected] PayPal
Makes more of a lasting impact then what i could do with any of it.
Again thank you to everyone who helped!
We made it fam!
If you are successful after rooting and can give better instructions please let me know!

Usually clearing the cache and letting it rebuild helps. However, like everything else, try it at your own risk. The boot method just came out so there is going to have to be a lot of trial and error before things smooth out. Generally, first adapters (such as yourself) are often the ones that have to try things before anyone knows if it works or not. Best case scenario is that it helps, worst case scenario is saying bye bye to your phone. Then again, anytime you do anything to your phone there is always risk. Good luck and let us know if you try anything that seems to help (or hurt).

okay, not really a noob, but not really an expert, I have been doing this kind of things since the LG ally. but I am baffled, ever since root I cannot for the life of me get this little cyclone icon or the vo)) lte icon to Go Away. I don't have an option for HD voice in any setting, nor do I have a setting for rcs service. I have been scowling through threads for about 3 hrs, so I have looked for an answer, pretty much my last resort here. any help would be great!!!

Interesting problem here. Restarted the phone for a reason unrelated to the root, and it's stuck at the AT&T logo. Won't boot no matter what. Wiping/Factory restore doesn't fix it either. It'll wipe and reset but never gets to the setup, just stays at the logo. Any ideas?
