My note 3 was previously rooted with TWRP and CM11.
I wanted to upgrade my firmware to official 4.4.2 kit kat and root my device again to try a different rom.
However things went to the dumps and now I can't root my phone. I insert the md5 file into oden and let it run and everything passes but the phone just reboots into recovery in a cycle.
To get away from the cycle, I have to flash the official 4.4.2 firmware again, which causes me to setup my accounts and everything from the beginning
I need to know how to root for 4.4.2 succesfully, please help.
Also, when i check the storage (internal) capacity of my phone after flashing of the firmware, I see that it takes up 7 gig. Is that too much for a fresh firmware install?
Afaik, based o. Reading the forums....there isn't a way to root 4.4.2 yet

I've got my root, how do you install CWM or TWRP back? When i installed CM11 before, TWRP was already preinstalled.
I'd like to install one of those to flash a new rom.
You can use Odin or Goo manager from the play store. Check in the development thread and there are guides to install, I don't have time to check atm but if not answered later I will check for you.

I tried GooManager earlier and it failed on me.
It didn't go to TWRP when i recovered, it went to android system recovery.

I flashed the official 4.4 omni rom on my n7105 and all is well except my phone is no longer rooted. i tried rooting it again using oden and cf auto root that I used originally on the stock rom, but that didn't work. Do I need a root file specifically for android 4.4 or what?
An unrelated question, On the CWM recovery site, the files have an .iso extension. How do you flash these files?
Thanks!

Check again the omni thread. On the download section is that "updated superuser" thing. Download it and flash it in recovery. It's the superuser app from chainfire afaik.

Hi guys I have some questions about the new Firmware and KitKat in general and you may have answers I'll try to update first post with your answers!
-Will I loose root when I flash through Odin? --> Yes
-Is the new firmware rootable, or is there a way to keep root when I upgrade from rooted 4.3?
-->For upgrade yes: If you are rooted on 4.3 you can restore root by flashing a custom recovery and flash superSU manually.
-->chainfire autoroot works but you need to update the superSU app through play store after flashing.
-Will KitKat restrict access to my SD card? -->Yes but fixable through an app or editing a file (needs root), there is already a thread about that.
-Can I still use flash with KitKat? How?
-->Yes, there is a hacked version see 2nd post for link.
-How is the touchscreen driver? Is the stuttering fixed? Do touch and hold actions still drop after ~23sec?
-->Pretty much fixed. To about the same state as the improved Kernel we had a while ago.
-Are there any apps that are not working (root apps too)?
-Gesture Controls? --> works
-Xposed framework app settings? -->works
-Is Hancom Office included or does it still work? --> not included but does still work.
Thats about what I can think of a the moment.
Hi,
If you are already rooted then all you have to do is re install TWRP and then flash SU zip then you have root.
For flash player, download hacked version here, it works I tested it on new software :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/go...e-how-to-play-flash-video-android-4-t2548001
Also, xposed works. Tested it on new software

Here's a question: I'm already rooted. Is flashing the stock KitKat image via Odin and rerooting the only way to upgrade?

If you are already rooted, I assume you have TWRP too. Just download this KitKat rom, full wipe and install.

Not for me I flashed a stock 4.4 kit kat on my tablet coming from root 4.3. I then flashed chainfire autoroot thru odin on the 4.4 and the superuser there only problem is it displays this ' There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install this is a problem! I formatted my 4.3 before flashing it maybe thats why?

Not sure... I installed KK on the tablet via Odin, then rebooted and setup, then rebooted into download mode and flashed auto root thru Odin.
Upon reboot I got an error selecting SuperSU, but once I updated it thru the Play Store its been fine.
Using ES Explorer I removed the items I don't need and removed all of the Knox stuff.
There are a few of us this worked for so I don't know what went wrong for you.
If you don't succeed then try again, and again, and again....Good luck.

Thx for the response from what i can see you never fully wipe your data before installing 4.4 KK but i did so i believe i lost my root like that. So when i updated the supersu never carried over from 4.3

If your phone is already rooted, why not simply download the free app "TWRP Manager" from the
play store, with that app you can easily flash the twrp 2.7.0.0 custom recovery without going into
download mode and without the need of Odin.
Once installed, it's fully self-explanatory.
It install just like any other app you would

I've always used Odin 3.09 for this phone. The .tar file goes in the AP slot. When I did mine, I rooted first using Chainfire's CF Auto Root, then installed TWRP later, after updating to 4.4. I'm sure you know that once you've updated to 4.4, there is no going back. You can no longer run 4.3 based roms because the bootloader isnt able to be changed back (that I know of). I keep hearing that you should not run Odin in a Virtual Machine but I've never had a problem with it. As for flashing with goomanager or TWRP manager, according to TWRP's homepage they no longer suggest using that method for the note 3 as it was causing problems. Use Odin. I've read reports of it deleting the factory recovery and failing to install TWRP leaving you with no recovery at all. Best of luck to you!

Run the CF-Auto-Root for the hlte - found in the original development section of the Samsung Note 3 forums(international) Link here.
You will have to use Odin to do the above though, however, the package you download for the CF-auto-root comes with Odin.
If you don't want to keep stock firmware, and you are just trying to install custom rom, then just odin the TWRP.tar file.
Hi friendly xda android enthusiasts. I have, after many issues, finally rooted my gt-n5110 using odin and cf-auto. Workered without a hitch. Odin passed, tab rebooted, and BAM, "superSU has stopped working". I immediately navigated myself over to the playstore to reinstall SuperSU and for the first time i have ever seen it wouldnt allow me to. It only gave me a choice to open. No update no uninstall. Going into my apps list it was not present on downloads but was available on device list. Clucked it and no option to uninstall, only to force stop or turn off. So it is incorporated as a system with no access to it. This has me stumped. I have only seen old threads with answers to this and they are temp fixes. Need to know what i can do to fix this on a permanent basis and if someone could help me understand how and why this issue occured it would give me a better understanding and possibly prevent further issues. Thanks in advance guys.
Try the flashable version in this post after you install a custom recovery with odin.

This may be a very stupid question but i have to be sure. As i stated the odin DID pass the auto root and tab rebooted. But along with the superSU error i ran root checker and was unable to obtain root. Im assuming its because supersu is not embedded. So with that said is it still ok to attempt to flash a recovery to the tab?

Yes. Recovery is independent of whether or not you are rooted. You can install it from Android using tools like Flashify once you are properly rooted, but Odin works fine as long as you have a version of recovery in that format.
Flashing SuperSU from a custom recovery once it is installed should fix the superuser problems you are having.

I had the same issue on my 5110. The flashable root only worked for me until I rebooted, then it would lose root. What ultimately worked for me was to unroot with Kingo. Then with USB debugging enabled, re-rooted with Kingo (which took around 10 min).

If flashing SuperSU from recovery doesn't result in a successful rooted system someone should let @Chainfire know. I've never had a problem rooting a stock ROM that way but let's see what @mattdiehl83 reports.

Hi guys sorry for the delay in update. I ended up using VM ware and it allowed to operate as windows on OS X. I installed TWRP, went into the file manager in TWRP and removed the superSU, i then flashed superSU and rebooted. Once back to the tablet i went and restored services to superSU and went into the play store. And finally the playstore gave me the option the update the superSU. And then the rest was all normal installation of superSU. Hope this thread helps anybody dealing with these issues.
Glad you got it working. :good:

YOU DONT NEED TO DELETE SUPERSU 2.0.1
Install 2.02 apk and go to supersu, then to settings and push to /system
This is the easiest way. the one you found: go to recovery delete that and this. download supersu 2.0.2 apk and install it not the recovery zip i mean the APK! i didnt say the flashable supersu zip.
oh wait, yes you are a intelligent boy, you know everything.

That's a bit of a dilemma.
Unfortunately Samsung does not support using fastboot and bootloader mode (they call it download mode) so that standard SDK tool Google provides for Windows, Linux and MAC OS X isn't applicable. Your best bet would be to find a Windows PC that you can use to flash the recovery with Odin since that is the most common and best documented method.
Edit: NVM, somehow I responded to an old post of yours.

Use ODIN and the OH1 TAR file from SAMMOBILE. That will bring you up to the most recent stock and baseband. Then Unikernel and TWRP and flash the ROM.
