Hi, guys. I wanted to write a post, but since i'm a new member, i'm writing a thread here instead. The thread i wanted to reply is:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2294005
I wanted to let somebody know (because it helps some folks) that i used CF-auto-root, and i have successfully rooted my phone.
More details that may be helpful or useful are following:
*Everything was fine until 4.2.2 (JB); then, my stupidity kicked in, and MANUALLY upgraded OTA to 4.3;
*I noticed this CF-auto-root, tried it, perfectly rooted my phone. And YES, i tripped the Knox warranty...
*At some point, i unrooted my 4.3 (JB) so that i can manually upgrade to KitKat when it's released;
*Successfully upgraded to 4.4.2 (KK) OTA on Mar 10;
*I couldn't find any info about "safe root" for 4.4.2, so i chose CF-auto-root instead (i tripped the flag, so i didn't care);
*I took the same steps for rooting 4.3 and it "worked". Initially verified with Root Checker Basic;
*However, SuperSU seemed to be "missing", and i DL from the store, and it opened fine (I didn't know SuperSU can be DL from the store)
This is my story, and i'm sticking to it
cf auto root work fine on my m919 4.4.2
It doesn't show up anymore in the app drawer. I don't have supersu in my app drawer, either. And, I'm definitely rooted. Sounds like you are, too.

I just got a note 2 and I would like to know what's the best way to root my device without any problems?
If you just got it then I'm going to assume you don't have any important data!
Flash a stock rom with root injected! It's literally a stock touchwiz 4.1.2 rom with superSU. It always doesn't mess up your counter and you can get official OTAs from T-mobile.
The link is here.
What ungraph said. I ran mrRobinson's injected rom for about 7 months before I ended up on tweaked. It works pretty well.
Hastily spouted for your befuddlement

Thanks, silly question. My service provider is Metro PCS even though this is a tmobile phone, will that have any interference with the root?
So no one used Galaxy Note2 TOOLKIT V4.1.0 to root their android? I used this to root my S3.

Be sure to read all step and choose the good option for your phone. I choose recommend options except for the recovery I choose the cwm instead of twrp.

KINGO Android Root
I just found an app that supposedly will ROOT any Android phone. It is called KINGO Android Root.
FYI - Just completed my Root and it took ~ 3 minutes. I know it is rooted since I can now use Titanium Backup Pro.
Ok so with a fair bit of browsing and searching i came across this website HERE
i just want to know if this will root my 4.3 android device which was upgraded OTA from 4.1.2 to 4.3 via Telus
and is it a clean root. basicly keeping stock os and adding the root availability to it. and then allow me to add other software i need.
It should. Chainfire's root tars are generally super solid.
Well I gave it a try but now I have issues with the KNOX blocking the root and of course KNOX doesn't work any ideas how to do that and get rid of knox

Unfortunately I have no experience with KNOX at all. I've read that, if you're rooted, you can remove Knox with Titanium Backup but that puts you back to step 1 of getting root. Chainfire's page says that rooting with his method will trip KNOX but it doesn't mention anything about blocking it. Here's the page for your device. He might have some updated info there:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1980644
Hmm ya well for some reason my knox says superSU is trying to access a restricted area of the device and is being blocked so it didn't trip my knox. And as for trying to install knox it won't work not that I want it. I even used Kies to factory restore it. No superSU anymore but does show in my updates to update it

Just go to the play store and update super user. Once this is done open the app it will say update, say yes normal and it will now disable Knox and super user will work.

You initially did it running the CF-Auto-Root. Running SuperSu just put the icing on the cake.
Hello,

Some people use a Windows based app called kingoroot or king root...but there's an article on xda explaining the concerns with using it (I'll let you Google that if you're curious). So I went ahead and googled "how to root Sprint 4.3" and came up with this article:
http://honai-android.blogspot.com/2013/11/how-to-root-galaxy-note-2-sprint-sph.html?m=1
Had no issues...and was rooted in a matter of minutes.
Just to cover my ass, this is not mine, I did not create this root method, credit goes to chainfire, and I'm not responsible for anything that happens to your phone.

Any root method will trip Knox (if it's installed) That's why you have to root, and remove the Knox files then flash the MK4 ROM so you're still on the MC2 bootloader (no KNOX), but will have the MK4 update.
Better instructions can be found in the Development section...just search for Lorjay's thread. He has it all written out...
The way I did it I downloaded the cm installer I install cm and then I reinstall a custom rom cynergyrom

Hi, i recently won this tablet yesterday and wanted to root it. Have tried pretty much every non computer needed root app out there and none work. Even tried with odin, and i successfully installed twrp....but have no root which i didn't even think was possible lol. But every method for root i see is a few months old before the tab was updated to 4.4.2. So, is there even a root yet for KK? Because I've definitely looked...and if so, please point me in the right direction....thanks! ??
If you have twrp on it, then just flash the supersu zip from chainfire and you'll be rooted.

Does the unroot function in the Super SU paid version work?
Unrooting from the 4.4 kit kat stock rom. Im running stock recovery also.
Has nobody used the Full Unroot feature of SuperSU with kitkat and the note 4?

Made an account just to reply to this. I was in the same boat, and tried that. Phone rebooted but couldn't take OTA. When it restarted after failed OTA install, went into bootloop. Had to reflash stock through ODIN and problem solved. Sorry man.
So Im running stock recovery and stock rooted 4.4. So that means I either wait for lollipop on Kies or Odin back to stock then take the OTA.

Not sure about this but Odin to stock and taking update will keep all your data if that is what you are worried about. Only issue is you might not be as smooth keeping your settings. I had some fc's and lag. So I reset to factory and restored apps and there was a huge speed and smoothness increase.
Im planning on reseting, trying to maintain setup on a major update always causes lag.
