Are you using CF-Auto-Root through ODIN?
In case you have a bad file or wrong version, all the files you need are in one zip here thanks to @jovy23.

Hello,
After sadly never being able to get the NB4 update for my note 3, I was wondering if anyone could send me there update files? (if its possible to update via recovery like that?) If anyone else has any other ideas on how to get my note 3 updated it would be nice (im on MJ5, not rooted).

downloading it now. I tried to check ota on NB4 but I keep getting software update interrupted. Hopefully I won't have to keep on relying on others to post the update files in the future. Thanks for the help, wish you would have responded to my first thread on this issue a month ago, but it looks like those update files were recently uploaded.

with kitkat that is because of the kingo root even if you unrooted do this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51203967&postcount=1 or if you are near an att service center you can take it to them and they will flash kitkat for you also bestbuy can too

Best Buy (Samsung) doesn't have the KitKat files yet. I went to my local BB store and they told me that didn't have the official file yet. Also, AT&T will not flash your phone either. I tried that one, too.
Has to be a att service center and both can re flash NB4 for you if you flashed the kk leak you need to do the mj5 restore first then go see them

My best buy Samsung store must be behind times. The guy there couldn't do it. It appears they use kies. And our phone can't be initialized with kies anymore.

Not sure what you are referring to with region lock, but if you are running safestrap then you will see that lock at boot. I've heard you can remove it with xposed.
So I decided to do something dumb and tried to flash a rom on my phone, it bricked so I connected to odin and tried to re install the AP and when it was done my phone started up, Did the little samsung logo and froze right before the finished then went to a black screen, could it be the AP im trying to install with odin? any ideas are helpfull thanks..
I had the same issue it was kernel related .

Yes it is very easy to root the Note 4 with CF-AutoRoot. Here is a great guide by @TEKHD you can follow.

You can also look at this guide by @jovy23 and he has all the files you need in one zip.

Not a problem, take your time the first time and follow the instructions exactly. Once you have done it once, you should get it and it is a breeze after that.

I did it this way and it worked perfectly. Had a little mishap though trying to download twrp through pay stpore instead of flashing. But, everything works now
Could you help me? I flashed a stock lollipop rom via odin and it worked flawlessly. I now would like to reroot my device. I downloaded all the correct files and when I go to flash the tar file via Odin I get an error, "security check fail: recovery". It won't flash but luckily didn't brick my device. I've tried plenty of time to no avail

Go to settings - security - reactivation unlock (uncheck it). Try flashing again, you should be good to go.
