I have tried kingo with no success. For some reason it gives me a "ROOT FAIL- NOT SUPPORT" message during the " Downloading requisite dependency files..." part. Any help is greatly appreciated. Oh and yes, I have done my share of searching..

their servers might be down I would try again later
Make sure your display timeout is set to 10 minutes.
If you have KIES installed. Completely remove it and get the drivers alone from Samsung's website. I had similar issues.

Are you running MJ5 or NB4? If you're using NB4 you need Kingo 1.1.8. That's the only version that will work.
Im running MJ5...

Is there a way to root MJ5?

I'd also like to know this. It's killing me not having root.

I didn't think the current version of Kingo Root worked for MJ5. I know Kingo Root is suppose to be releasing a version 2 of their root method... Been searching for a way to root MJ5 as well after mine auto updated, making me lose root...:crying:

I was rooted with Kingo before OTA. Unrooted to get uodate. Then rerooted. Took about 10 times for Kingo version 1.1.2 to recognize my phone but it finally worked.

Well from what I understand people thought that because of the imei being sent out. However this is not 100% reliable.... I am going to attempt to root with kingo again myself.

Just rooted with kingo about 30 mins ago so far no issues although the process was kind of iffy. Seems like it just keeps trying different methods until its rooted. It never even got to the screen that said I was rooted I just opened supersu after like the 3rd time and I was rooted so I just unplugged it.
Edit: by the way I had to use a USB cord from my note 2 the 3.0 cable didn't work at all.

I couldn't root via Root De La Vega. I actually bricked and had to odin the stock PIT back to the phone. I then found out is was because I was on MJ5, I downloaded Kingo, hooked up the phone and it rooted it painlessly. Thanks Kingo!
Thank You!
Like some of you guys, i was able to root with Kingo version 1.1.2
Thank You!
I also was finally able to get root using Kingo. Ended up having to use a different computer and a usb 2.0 cable, instead of the 3.0 cable that came with the phone. Now I can stop debating on wether or not to return my Note 3. :good:

I believe that since its more or less a universal method one click it has to figure out what device you're using. Thus why it appears to keep trying. And yeah the you're rooted screen took a bit to come up when I did it the 2nd time

IF using MI9, use RDLV on it, and quickly, before it gets the OTA update (I'd disconnect it from networks entirely until it was rooted. Don't use RDLV if it's gotten the update!)
If it's not on MI9 anymore, your only options are kingo/vroot. Both of those are not allowed to be linked to on XDA because of suspicions about them being malicious (though many people have used them and reported no issues)
Downloaded rdlv last night left my phone charging woke up to my wife playing on it. She took the update cuz the phone asked her if she wanted to update. :banghead: anyway to downgrade don't really wanna use the other 2 options

No, you cannot downgrade the firmware. I think trying bricks it and trips knox warranty void.

Hey guys, it's safe to root my s3 gt-i9305 (Android 4.3) by Odin mobile? (I know I will lose my warranty). It's the same thing than use Odin for PC? I will use Cf auto root. Thanks in advance

you can't use odin mobile unless you're rooted. so you can't use OM to root your phone, because you have no root priviledges required to run OM.
so, as long as you're non-rooted, you have to use desktop odin
But I can't plug the phone to my computer.. Give me always a error!

I moved from Miui to Stock using Odin Mobile and after that I was not able to connect my phone to my computer.
The error message basically says USB device not recognized or malfunctioned.
You can see my post in Q&A - no solution so far.
I am about to give up and trade in my phone with the telco.
are you guys able to connect in download mode? if yes, flash your firmware again using ODIN
maybe there's some issue related to bootloader/firmware version conflict resulting in USB issues
-------
EDIT: just noticed you've got similar answer in the parallel thread an hour ago
But.. I don't want do brick my phone again, I already bricked him once, I just want to root him, nothing else.. If Odon detect the phone and the PC doesn't there is any problem? The probability of brick the phone increase? Thanks

I've just rooted my device using geohot's towelroot.apk and now I can't use my ISIS wallet app for my free Jamba Juice smoothies. I'm searching around and I can't find a method to unroot.
Kies3 isn't working either as it says "firmware initialisation is not supported by this model"
PLEASE HELP!
Edit: I've also tried to use SuperSU to unroot, but it won't let me update the binaries and just force closes
Edit 2:
*** PLEASE SEE BELOW FOR ALL OTHER USERS THAT HAVE THIS ISSUE
I found out that you cannot use the SuperSU downloaded from the play store as it will just force close. Download the apk from this link: http://download.chainfire.eu/447/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.99r4.zip
SuperSU should be able to update itself successfully after you open the application. Afterwards, you can use the permanent unroot option from the settings and that's it! I'm going to go get my free smoothie now.
I AM HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUES AND NEED TO UNROOT ALSO.

Yes. You will install the superuser apk that is floating around if you haven't already and then update the binaries after you open the app.
Then go to settings in the superuser app and do the permanent unroot. I also uninstalled the towel root app too just in case. Then reboot and you should be unrooted.
