Ok, to starts things off.
I have installed and ran Cyanogenmod for 2 years on my S3. Due to multiple errors, leaving me frustrated , I factory reset my phone back to Touchwiz. Reinstalled CWM recovery and it asked me to fix root. Yes! root? I've checked the root status and it said that its semi rooted/unsuccessful root.
I tried using in-app method ( SuperSU fix binary, disable KNOX ). It couldn't disable KNOX therefore it didn't work.
Second method i used was ODIN and push CF Auto Root firmware. Soft bricked my S3 .
Resetting S3 back again.
Total time spent: 4 hours
Is there any other method to root my phone so I have Super User?

Kingo Root is like one click and you are done. It's that easy.
Once you root your phone using Kingoroot...You can install Safestrap recovery. Which will allow to flash custom rom located in here. But you can't flash kernels using Safetrap since our Bootloader is locked.
Google "TWRP recovery FAQ" (Safestrap is based off TWRP) or something along those lines and it will give you an idea of what you can do with custom recovery.
P.S. You got lot to learn young grasshopper. Start Googling. Trust me, I didn't knew jack about Android until I got my N3, about 2 months back.
Hey guys
I have been trying to root my AT&T note 3 mj5 with kingo but have had no luck. Every time I connect my phone, it says it's an s2 instead of a note 3. I have tried with kies 3 installed and uninstalled, I have deleted every samsung driver from my PC and reinstalled the note 3 drivers. I have installed and uninstalled the drivers from kingos website and from Kies. I am having no luck at all. I have restarted my phone and PC probably 25 times in the process. Every time I try, I also get the pop up on my phone saying something is trying to access my device. It's the little shield icon...not sure if it's Knox or not.
Can anyone help me out?
Edit: after looking here more, I realized I still had lookout running...so that's part of it. So now I have to figure out why it still says s2 in kingo.
If kingo don't work go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48243768 and download rldv.zip
Extract rldv.zip to the root of your internal sdcard Reboot, then once SuperSu installs, Reboot again.
There are a few questions here about my gs5 and note8.0, sorry for the long post, I rarely post but need a little guidance. Sorry if this post isnt exactly up to the standards of the rules, I also tried the search feature but didnt have any luck. I have spent countless hours reading threads. Ihave successfully rooted every, all 10, of the android devices I have owned which includes two tablets. SO TO ALL WHO POST INSTRUCTIONS HERE, THANK YOU.
I rooted my gs5 with towelroot pretty much immediately when it was released. I havent had any real issues, other than the phone freezing on rare occasion, and web pages get stuck loading about 1/2 to 3/4 of the way finished, when this happens I usually toggle the apn on and off and then the page will load. This happens kind of often, I attribute it to some bug in the stock TW rom. Of course im still hoping for a way to unlock the bootloader.
I get a notified of samsung security updates here and there, I have never updated that since I rooted, I assume that updating samsung security would most likely take away my root access.
I have a note 8.0 wifi tablet also and it is rooted, I had to root with odin on the tab, towelroot didnt work. I also get secuirty update notifications on my note 8 which I also ignore.
Will samsung security updates block root>
Will the new ATT gs5 update that was released this week block towelroot? I can easily unroot and update ota then try to re root with towelroot apk, I am worried that towelroot will not work anymore if I do that.
Anyone know if the att update blocks root, and is it even worth worrying about trying to download?
My note 8 is rooted via odin, but it still has stock recovery, how do I get twrp or clockworkmod? I am pretty sure there is not a locked bootloader on this wifi tab, but I do want custom recovery.
So any help with installing clockworkmod recovery on the note 8, I know the CWM app allows you to install cwm recovery but I have only done it once and forgot to check to see if the BL was locked, well it was and It was a pain to unbrick that device.
So, I acquired my GT P1000L quite recently (like, 4 days ago), and I started to look for methods on how to upgrade it from 2.3.6 to kitkat 4.4.4. And after hundreds of forums and threads, I finally found one that worked for me. Managed to install CwM recovery, CF root (A big problem that I'll explain later), and proceeded to install everything.
After a lot of cold sweat, since it was my first time doing this kind of upgrade, finally the Cyanogemod logo showed up, took 2 minutes to load everything, and it asked me to choose the language...And my sadness started when I discovered my touch screen stopped working.
So, after crying on the corner like a little kid, I found a tutorial on how to go "restock", I guess that's what is called, rolling all the way back to 2.3.6, Which didn't take that long, everything good and dandy, when I discovered 2 major reasons why it didn't work for me.
1: The CF Root that I used, only works with P1000, not P1000L (at least is what some people in the cf thread said), and CF was the reason why my touch screen stopped working.
So I decided to go back and see if I missed something, and saw a small warning saying that I should at least have CM 10.2 before upgrading to CW 11 (the one for kitkat 4.4.4). And that led me to my second problem, find a ROOT and instal CWM mod and go to 10.2.
So I searched, and found demonlord V4 (I think that's it), root, and tried it...And boom. The Root failed, and I was like WTF?
And when I decided to check the root's log, it said that some folders were protected, read only files (Something that never happened before). So I decided to try another root, Kingo root, and to my surprise, ROOT Failed again.
Tried ADB, Qatbd, none of them seem to work.
How can I root my device again? Or at least remove the read only protection?
The same happened to me! I still working to make my root work again! Anybody that can help us?????!!!!!!!

Note 3 Unroot Help and OTA update failure
I rooted my note 3 a long time ago with Towlroot running on original firmware, every time I attempt to grab the OTA update it downloads reboots begins install end gets to % and then fails due I assume to the custome/unlocked/rooted situation. I followed super users unroot and uninstall instructions . It removes root however it still boots ATT then Samsung "custum" with a lil lock on the bottom open shown open. Even a full wipe and restore does not get rd of this custom boot screen, Any ideas how I can remove completely any changed towlroot made so I can get the OTA, or is there a version I can push to phone using Odin.. Any advice or help appreciated as the current software/OS is buggy, TouchWizz crashes, phone can sometime reboot its self on its own,
Thanks in advance,
Eben

If you want STOCK Lollipop Odin files http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-att/general/100-stock-lollipop-5-0-n900aucueoc1-t3069609 OR ROOTED Lollipop http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59666958&postcount=2 For the Rooted Lollipop you will need to root it again and install busybox, supersu and safestrap (which I'm sure you know). Thanks @Walter.White
If you received the OTA firmware update like I did, you probably loss root access and it's now very hard to re-root. This is because Samsung updated the Knox partition and also the firmware.
What does this means?
Even if you flash an older version of your firmware, Knox partition will remain the same and you still won't have root access.
NOTICE: Root might be easy for some, but Xposed is really tricky to install on this device. Please backup all your files from your internal storage because there are minor chances your device might go into a boot loop, meaning you WILL have to flash a firmware again, this DOES NOT means you need to wipe your device, but it's always better to be prepared for the worst.
If you have no problem installing Xposed on your E7, this post is not for you! This is only if you received the OTA update!
1. ROOTING YOUR PHONE
- Install Kingo Root on your computer and follow the step by step instructions, just make sure to enable USB debugging from the developer options on your device and click accept when prompted to connect with your computer. You will have to wait from 5 to 20 minutes for the software to try multiple ways to root your device, sometimes it is really fast and sometimes it takes a while, it really depends on your firmware so if you fail to gain root access just go ahead and try another firmware from Sammobile. I use E700HXXU1AOAC_E700HUUB1AOAC_TPA and works really well, this is the firmware for Panama and it's NOT the newest one, however it has worked quite well for me. // CF Auto-Root used to worked before, however, after the update it is no longer working on this device :crying:
NOTICE: Disabling Knox voids your warranty and removes a very cool feature from your phone. Without Knox, anyone can steal your device and become its new owner. Why? Well, Knox links your device to your account only, no one else can use it unless having your user and password from Samsung, even after a full factory reset! So please keep this in mind, I'm willing to sacrifice this because I love Xposed.
2. DISABLING KNOX
- Now that you have Root Access, you need to install SuperSU to disable KNOX. Just go to the play store, download SuperSU, open it and grant root access to it using Kingo Root. You should now be prompted to Disable Knox and obviously you have to accept that!
3. OPTIONAL - Removing Kingo
- Download Titanium Backup from the Play Store so that you can remove your old Kingo User app... you won't need it anymore because you now have SuperSU. You can also uninstall Kingo App :good:
That's it! Rooted and without KNOX you can now install Xposed with no problems! No need for custom recoveries, just follow the classical procedure.
If you need help installing Xposed now that your device is properly rooted and without Knox, make sure to visit the other posts for more details.
