Hello all,
I recently got my hands on a Note 2 running Android 4.3 on the MK6 bootloader. I have done a bit of research, but am still somewhat confused about how to root the phone. If I am correct, I just use Odin to flash this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2589891
Onto the phone to have root access, correct?
Next, if I want to have CWM, I flash this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2159652
If there are any steps I am missing, please let me know. I would like to procede with as much knowledge as possible to avoid bricking the phone. I am aware that doing this will trip the Knox e-fuse, and I am ok with that.
Thanks in advance!

#1 is a full ROM like you have but rooted.
Try this

#2 is good. You need to do that before doing number 1.

Alright, thanks!
So I flash the CF Auto Root via Odin, then CWM, and then I can flash any ROM, right?

It's a little easier to use to start.
Always make backups !!!
So, today I tried to root my phone, and as soon as I was finished flashing CF Auto Root, Knox blocked the root and said that "Unauthorized access to a secured area has been blocked."
Does that mean I cannot root my phone?

No you're fine. Go to Google Play, Download the Update for SuperSU. Update it, it will pop up a window and ask if you want to disable Knox.
SAY YES !

Thanks for the answer, but there is no option to update SuperSU from Google Play, and I can't uninstall it either.
Is there a direct link where I can download the file to update the SuperSU to disable Knox?

If that does not work go to Application Manager and try and remove it.

And I can't uninstall it from Appilcation Manager, just "Force Stop" or "Turn Off"

Superuser installation issues after installing over SuperSU
It seems SuperSU is writing a file that is confusing Superuser installation on stock builds. If you want to install Superuser over SuperSU, you will need to manually remove the /system/etc/.has_su_daemon file.
I have the /system/etc/.has_su_daemon file.l I'm creating a CWM zip to remove it.
Hopefully that's the solution.

And it wasn't ..... I created a flashable zip that deleted them and it didn't work.
But I did kick it's a$$.
Like I said earlier I running the 【ROM】【March 01】【4.3】Note2_lte_e250_R7. 2 . It's a N7105 port for the ATT.
So I knew there was something called a Multitool in the N7105 threads from Dr Ketan.
I flashed that in TWRP, it's an aroma install type flash, so I only choose Root and install Busybox.
Like all of our other flash installs it looked like it completed successfully.
Every flash or ODIN I've done or most today, I've gotten into adb shell and did
ls -l /system/xbin/su. never saw the file.
After flashing root and busybox I finally saw
[email protected]:/ $ ls -l /system/xbin/su
-rwxr-xr-x root root 100452 2008-08-01 05:00 su
Woo Hoo !
Got into phone, ran supersu, still said no binary.
Not sure why I did this really buy I typed su while in adb shell, Supersu window popped up on my phone, I clicked accept and all root stuff is working.
I have no clue why this worked. But it did, for me anyways. Hopefully it'll work for you, Luigi.

Thanks for all the info!
So, let me get this straight:
I don't need the ROM you're running on my phone. What I should do is find the Multitool, flash it via recovery, and root and Busybox. Then, connect my phone to my computer to run adb (which I don't really know how to do, so I'll have to look that up), type in su, and then from there everything should work as normal.
Also, an extra piece of information I forgot to mention earlier that you might find useful: SuperSU does NOT start at all; it just immediately closes when I click the icon, and then the Knox warning comes up. Did this happen for you?

Really have no clue.All I know is it worked for me.
For me SuperSU opened all he way. It told me I didn't have the su binary, do a manually install. Everything I did, did not work until my last post. 99% sure it will work for you.
For ADB use this....
http://four-nineteen.com/veronica/XDA Developers/Nook Tablet/DRIVERs/ADB + Fastboot + Drivers.zip
Unzip and save only the files that start with ADB. Create a directory like ADB under C:\.
Copy all the ADB files to C\ADB
Go to command prompt in windows, cd to c:\adb directory (whatever you created)
Type adb devices. Make sure it has a device listed
C:\xUltimate-v2.4.2\jar>adb devices
List of devices attached
8675309JennieJennie device
If so, type adb shell
C:\xUltimate-v2.4.2\jar>adb shell

Good Morning All:
I got the phone rooted and the CWM recovery installed but for some reason, it didn't appear to have installed the SU Binary.
When I boot the phone, it says "Unlocked" but it doesn't have the usual "Tampered" word. I used the Root Checker app and it says its not rooted correctly.
Any idea how I can manually install the SU Binary?
Many thanks for the replies.

I have already downloaded the SuperSU from the market but it didn't work. I dont think this program actually installs the SU Binary but is more of a management program once SU Binary is installed.
Would actually flashing the CWM-SuperSU-v0.96.zip program, actually install the SU Binary? I'm worried about installing it as I don't want to brick the phone.
Suggestions?

Why don't you post your question on forum for Sony device ?
Try Reflashing your rooted rom, assuming you have a titanium backup or another backup of some kind and then see if you get anything
Can I update SU Binary using Root Explorer. Because my phone can't unlock bootloader and I also can't update using SuperSU because when trying to update it forre close. I'm currently use SU Binary version 3.0.3. I download SU Binary file version 3.1.1 on Superuser page and then I open that zip folder > system > bin > su. I found the su file on that zip file, so can I replace that su file that I downloaded with existing file on my phone >system > xbin > su. Are this way safe.
Thanks in advance.

if you do not have clock work mod recovery installed you cannot use the su zip file because the ability to install zips in the recovery is only made possible through the clock work mod, further more the person who asked if they could use root browser to install su binary, this is not possible because you have to have an su binary and be rooted for you to even use root browser to even look at the root of your device, my apolagies mates but you are stuck with what youve got unless you write your own firmware and rom for your android and put an su binary into your rom

you might have wrong kernel
you might have denied permission for WiFi
you might have denied permission to root explorer
open your super user app look at the logs and see
also make sure the automatic response is set to PROMPT and not deny
plus just check "trust system user" so you don't have to constantly allow WiFi and other system apps that normally already have root permissions

You can either flash the SuperSU .zip by Chainfire in a custom recovery or you can take the .zip apart and do it manually. Push all of the files in the .zip to the corresponding locations on your phone and look at the updater-script to see if you need to do any other commands. Root in 4.3 is different and Chainfire's method basically uses a script to enable it at every boot. I have not read about any other superusers working for 4.3, though I could have missed it.

download the most current supersu.zip and flash it in recovery.
if you're using a toolkit (i bet you are) STOP IT.

about 2 minutes prior to your reply, I updated the "Toolkit" along with all the other items (supersu, img, etc..)
And after that, my device is rooted again.
Although, the main reason I started all of this was to update my device's build further, but it seems the OTA update is now gone... I'll have to wait for it appear again and see how it goes...

I did, though I'm fuzzy on how exactly, and no, no toolkits here. IIRC I ended up wiping, updating recovery, and then manually flashing, but I had to do it multiple times to get root to stick. Sorry I don't have any better info to provide, glad to hear a) I wasn't the only one who experienced this problem, and b) you got your root back.
sooo i was stock i took the OTA update to 4.3 mk6
i decided i didn't care about the knox counter so i rooted and custom recovery (this is the rom location http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2589891) and this is the recovery location http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2159652
now every thing is working (SU, Titanium Back up, and so on)
however when i try certain apps (game killer, game chi) it says i don't have root
i have searched everywhere but i am not seeing any posts about this
any help would be greatly appreciated

i uninstalled superSU then went to the market and downloaded and updated that didn't work it was still the same
no i have downloaded and installed from customer recovery and when i open superSU it says i need to manually re-root my phone so i guess i need to re flash my rom from original post?
Try installing the current version of SuperSU via Odin.. you shouldn't have to reinstall the rom...
Once SuperSU is installed, boot phone, check Play Store for updates for SuperSU and install if any. Then run SuperSU, update the binary if prompted, then when asked to disable Knox, answer yes. You should be good to go.

Game Killer - Comments on Play Store show that this is a known issue with 4.3 and SuperSU with this app.
GameCIH - (I assume this is what you meant) Comments on Play Store also show a known issue with 4.3. Some comments from dev about enabling USB debugging, but it appears to be a 4.3 issue.
Looks like you are out of luck for now unless you step back to 4.2 or below.

i didn't see those notes but thanks to everyone for all the help and i will look in to stepping back again (i bricked the first time)
If you have the MK6 bootloader, avoid the MA4 stock package. You'll need the LJ2 stock package (which does not have a bootloader in it). See this guide... you can follow it up to the point where you have MH3 on your phone and then stop:

awesome thank you
Hello people,
I have a Note 2 (SGH-i317m) running the MVLUCMK5 Official Android 4.3 rom. I flashed the cf-autoroot from chainfire's website using odin and download mode, updated super SU as soon as the device booted, disabled Knox and got the device rooted. Root was working fine. Titanium backup could restore the app backup and everything.
However, when I restarted the phone, the root was gone. Any idea what's going on? I will have to flash CF again and it will work. But the flash counter keeps counting every flash. Is there a permanent root method for 4.3?
PS: Sorry to hijack this thread. I figured there was a relevant discussion going on, why clutter the section with a new thread. Also, since my post count is low, I couldn't post in CF's thread.

Sounds like you may be using an older version of cf-auto-root? Try this one via Odin:
main - http://autoroot.chainfire.eu/
i317m - http://download.chainfire.eu/279/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-t0ltecan-t0ltevl-sghi317m.zip

I flashed the same one.
Are you running the stock kernel?
After you flash cf-auto-root and boot phone, what do the contents of this file look like?
/system/etc/install-recovery.sh
Does it reference SuperSU and run daemonsu or does it reference recovery-from-boot.p ?

Here's a screenshot.
That's the correct file...
A deeper dive would involve looking at the permissions and properties of su and daemonsu in /system/xbin as well as a few other SuperSU related files in /system and subdirectories.
If you are running a custom kernel it's possible that it is pushing an older version of SuperSU (or other superuser app).
Do you have only the SuperSU app installed (i.e. no SuperUser or other app in the app drawer)?
Reaching at this point as it's not typical for the current versions of SuperSU to lose root.
One thing you can try is root with current, boot phone, immediately run SuperSU, choose "Full Unroot", reboot boot phone, then shutdown and reflash cf-auto-root and see if it sticks.
As for flash counter, once you get root to stick, you can use Triangle Away to reset that to zero - works for everything but the knox warranty counter.
So all of sudden, my rooted S3 is not rooted anymore.
I wanted to use Titanium Backup and it says
"Sorry, I could not acquire root privileges. This application will *not* work! Pleasre verify that your ROM is rooted, and try again.
This attempt was made using the "/system/xbin/su" command."
and then I tried my other root applications such as Greenify, App Ops and they are all saying my phone isn't rooted anymore.
I don't understand, I never upgraded my phone after I rooted and I never flashed a different rom and kept the Touchwiz Rom.
I used this guide to root my phone originally:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1771687
My phone is running 4.3 Android (Same Version I used when Rooted in the first place)
Baseband Version: T999UVUEMJC
Please let me know what to do
check if supersu is working properly.

It isn't.
The following message pops up:
"There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!
If you just upgraded to Android 4.3, you need to manually re-root - consult the relevant forums for your device!"

My suggestion would be to back everything up and re flash root66.

Would I lose all my data?
In terms of re flash root66, that means simply using Odin and re-rooting my phone like I do the first time right? Would it be the same instructions too?

I'm not sure if you are going to lose your data.. so that's why I said to back everything up, just in case.
And yes.. same method as before from that post.
Befoe you flash again. Try uninstalling then installing supersu again

I can't uninstall supersu as it gives me no option to do so. I can only uninstall all updates that were applied but not complete remove and then install it.
I had this happen on my Tmobile Galaxy S3.
I read somewhere else on XDA that you just had to install the latest SuperSU, in zip form, from recovery mode.
I havent posted enough here to be able to post a link, but you can find it on chainfires website.
Then reboot and it should work.
I have searched the forums for my device, and other people's posts trying to find a way to root my device. Towelroot did not work for me. I read that i could install Philz touch recovery and root with that, but i cannot find the version of that for my phone. If somebody could point me in the direction of a method to root my phone, i would very much appreciate it

You could download GooManager (or Flashify) off the Play Store, install custom recovery (TWRP) and root. It will install the one for your phone automatically.
You need root to use GooManager.
Im curious, what happened with Towelroot? I cant see any reason it wouldnt work. Can you tell me the steps you used?

I downloaded the towelroot apk, installed it and clicked "make it rain" and the app said i should have root. I downloaded root checker and it says i do not have root access.
After running Towelroot You have to install SuperSU from the Play Store, then open the app and let it update the binary and disable Knox.
If SuperSU hangs, reboot and it'll work on the second try.

I had tried CF-Auto-Root before towelroot, and it seems to have either partially installed SuperSU, or SuperSU just doesn't like my phone. It shows up in my app list as "eu.chainfire.supersu.MainActi" and force closes when i try to open it. I cannot uninstall it. (i should have mentioned this in my OP maybe)
Oh ok. That makes more sense to me for why Towelroot didn't work then. Probably the easiest fix would be to reflash the firmware with Odin, then try Towelroot first. Since you dont have root now, its going to make fixing the problem any other way near impossible.......actually, now that I said that, you could flash twrp recovery, then use its file manager to manually delete any traces of the failed root.
Still, I think the firmware flash is an easier and safer option. But its up to you how you want to proceed.

I successfully flashed TWRP, exactly what files should i delete?
Check the cf autoroot thread to be sure, but probably the su binary, install-recovery.sh, daemonsu, etc.

The recovery file manager does not see a lot of the files on my phone. It does see the SuperSU folder, but even if i delete or rename it, it just fixes itself upon reboot. I'm thinking of flashing the 4.4.2 firmware through odin, is a factory reset absolutely necessary to do that?
I flashed the firmware, ran towelroot, installed SuperSU, installed the binary, disabled Knox, and i am now running a rooted device!
Thank you very much DocHoliday77 for all of your help, i greatly appreciate it.
Which firmware did you reflash? Stock 4.4.2??
I cannot find towelroot on the app store. Are there any suggestions on what to do without towelroot
