How do I root then?

You have to be extremely careful because there is a Lollipop and Marshmallow version of this device. I cannot give a link to the correct thread, but there is a thread on XDA that has a Marshmallow guide.
Basically you just flash with Odin, I used TWRP version twrp_3.0.2-1_sm-t350_mm_9816
Before you flash make sure you are in dev mode so Knox does not screw with you. have your SuperSU flash Zip on your SD card, I used UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.76-20160630161323
Boot into recovery, select install and chose the file I said above. It will flash and Root your device as a system root.

[ODIN][N8013]Stock Kernel and Recovery Images

This post will contain N8013 stock kernel and recovery images. For UEALGB these were dumped from a device that was rooted using the "root injection of /system" approach. For UEALH2, they are simply extracted from the Kies dump at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1847706 so that you can get a stock kernel or recovery without downloading 1GB of files.
If you flash any of these using Odin, they should not trigger your flash counter. Note that for some reason, flashing these in Heimdall will trigger the counter (unlike Heimdall on most other devices).
Pardon for some ignorance. What should be the steps to follow in order to root from an updated to latest OTA update stock Rom on a 32gb USA version? Do I need to flash the kernel, or just recovery should be ok?

Why don't u ask this in the root thread?
Here is what you should do:
Root Via CWM (method 2 in the root thread)
1. Download and put the superuserzip on your internal memory on your device
2. In odin uncheck auto reboot and load the cwmrecovery tar in the pda slot
3. Start odin
4. Once finished boot directly into clockwork (volume up and power til the samsung screen then let go of power while holding volume up)
5. Use the volume rockers to scroll in clockwork cause its finicky and flash the superuser zip you put on your device.
6. reboot
7. Make sure you have root and touch screen and pen works
8. Download goo manager
9. In goo manager hit menu and hit the install recovery script
10. DONE
Have any problems odin back to a stock image and if things go bad flash entropys triangle away kernel and clear your binary count
Any chance you could update the thread to account for the updated kernel for the N8013, that adds support for exFAT?

Hey guys,I just picked up a GT-N8010 -Canadian Wifi version - running LG4 firrmware, will any of these stock recoveries work for me or do I need an LG4 recovery?
Looking to root via cwm then restore stock recovery so I can receive OTA's.

For OTAs - no, these will probably not work.
Ok I downloaded the UEALGB stock recovery tar again and it contains only boot.img. Is the link bad or am I just screwy?

Thanks Entropy, as much as I want to root now I am going to wait for either a stock LG4 recovery or a root injected LG4.

I have the Canadian 8010 model, and installed the prerooted firmware that was provided. It didnt flash right the first time but the second time it did. Everything works great and Im rooted with CWM. The only thing I noticed is that it says I have the 8013 model now which is probably because of the firmware but its not a big deal.

It still only has boot.img.
Does anyone have a working UEALGB stock recovery?
Please, update the LGB recovery. I think that's the kernel.
Can I flash the H2 recovery in a LGB rom??
Cheers!

You can't, but you can flash the entire H2 ODIN image from here (about 1GB):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1847706
and not lose your data. You lose root though (which you can get again through the alternate recovery method)
Can we get a kernel and recovery from UEALI3 please.
Can someone dump latest firmware please and pm me.

Anybody have stock recovery for N8010?
N8013 UEALI3 Recovery
Can anyone post the UEALI3 stock recovery? I want to root my Note, but want to root my Note with the CWM method, and go back to stock recovery so I can get OTA updates.
Thank you.

Trouble with Note 4 Xposed framework

Hello all,
So I just installed the latest Xposed framework on my rooted note 4 (the stable one not the experimental) and am having trouble installing it. It keeps giving me an error shown below in an attachment. Either Xposed is "Not (yet) compatible with Android SDK Ver. 22 or not compatible with my armeabi-v7a processor.
Any help is appreciated. Other forums have had the same problem except with Marshmallow and I am on 5.1 lollipop

Flash the .zip in recovery, reboot and then sideboard install alpha apk afterward. This is what we must use to get xposed to work on 5.1.1 TW.

Thanks for your reply. Can i do this through ODIN since I dont have TWRP or CWM installed on my phone? If so do I flash under pda with a .tar file or will the zip work?
Thanks!
You would need to Odin the twrp or cwm recovery first, than flash the .zip thru either recovery.

Thanks so much. I bricked my device a few times trying to fix it but it worked. For anyone else who has the same problem, just use Rashr to flash it and it will automatically go into recovery in TWRP and do it for you. I also made sure to clear cache and dalvic before doing so. Thanks again d12unk13astard!
Glad you got it to work, I can't live without xposed lol

Questions on root for mm

I want to run Viper 4 android but the root is systemless. From my understanding I have to be using regular root to use Viper 4 android.
My question is, is it possible to go from systemless root to regular root?
Thanks
Just follow the instructions, flash MM, flash twrp, flash the latest SuperSU beta, load your apps. Then flash freeza's beast mode kernel that was released today on the Android development section. Then install viper as usual. I flashed the kernel at lunch and viper is running fine.

Cf Autoroot works for your device. Here is a link to the thread that will get you rooted. If you want, you can Odin TWRP for your device and then flash the SuperSu zip in recovery too. If it were me I would Odin TWRP and flash the SuperSu zip in recovery.

Use Odin to install TWRP first, then flash the SuperSu zip in recovery. Are you familiar with Odin/TWRP/Root etc... with Samsung?

A little bit I rooted my old HTC about 4 years ago
It's really easy rooting your device, just follow this straight forward simple guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-s2/general/sm-t710-6-0-1-t710xxu2cpd9-marshmallow-t3371545
Follow the "TWRP installation" and "ROOT" section.
If you have ever rooted any device, then using the guide provided above would be a walk in the park. As it guides you through how to use "odin" which helps a lot as I'm assuming you have never used it before.

I tried following the steps in this guide but after flashing twrp i tried booting into recovery mode and it booted into the stock android recovery
Trying booting into recovery a few times and see what happens. If not just repeat the steps in the guide in regards to TWRP it should definitely work.

It states in BOLD red letters why this is happening. You only need read the OP of the TWRP thread.
