What I have: I have a Sprint Note 3. Model number SM-N900P.. It's flashed to some prepaid company called Red Pocket. I went to this company from PrePayd Wireless but Sprint cut them off and even though they PrePayd found out this information on the Feb 14th but they decided not to tell their customers like myself until the minute before Sprint pulled the plug and my number was trashed with no way of getting it back. This lost me a lot of money smh (I apologize for ranting)
What my goal is: I just want to root the phone so that I can flash CWM or TWRP and get CM Kitkat on the device.
What my problem is: I can not get the device root.. I believe this could be because i can not get my device to give me the MTP option.
What have I tried: I've tried using Orin with CF Root and I use Odin with a CWM and a TWRP .tar . I was going to add the SS. All of this resulted in me rooting my phone in recovery and it giving me the dead android guy. Its like it wont stick to the phone.
I tried Kingo Root and one click as well and its saying that. Kingo said its not connected.
One Click Root cant even detect my phone is plugged in.
Kies says its not compatible and it downloads Kies 3.
Kies 3 just sits on a screen that says my phone needs to be in MTP mode.
I have installed the Samsung drivers. I even installed a brand new copy of windows 7 ultimate on a brand new hard drive just so i could start from scratch with the drivers because my other hard drive wouldn't even recognize the phone. This one is recognizing the phone and I re-installed the driver thru Kies and they all installed. I don't know what else to do. Please help.
I apologize if this was on another thread i search kind of hard for this problem before i made a new post
Might be a silly question, but have you enabled debug in developers settings?

The developers settings is hide by default on phone you have to enable it to put the device in debug enable mode. (Silly answer tho)

Yes I have unlocked the developer mode and enabled USB debugging. That was one of the first things I did and I have tried it in different variations with the program ie: USB debugging on when the program starts then off and I won't turn it on until the program is on and any other way.

I've already did this as my first initial post suggest. Kingo root won't detect my device. It's only says it's not connected. I have Kies 3 installed as Kies 1 said it was not supported. I have all my drivers installed manually and Kies installed the rest I guess but Kies is only saying that I need to put my phone on MTP which I have no option for. My device is on Stock 4.3

I was finally going to root last night but Odin doesn't see my device. I had no problems with using Odin in the past with my infuse so i figured the note would be no different. I have keis installed from before, but not sure if it needs updating or whatever...

A while back before my note even came in i was preparing my PC with everything I'd need for root etc, i was reading the root page and it said to install Odin (which i already had but i installed it anyway thinking it was a nwer version) it than said to get drivers HERE, i clicked the link but it just brought me to Samsung home page...i searched all over for the drivers but couldnt find them, i figured i didn't need them anyways since my infuse worked fine with Odin but now my note isn't recognized so maybe i do need the drivers...where are they??

Yes, this is a general title, but they only allow me to put so much. I am new to the forum, so please bear with me.
Here's the problem: I connect my phone to my computer and either the driver fails (Samsung USB Composite or MTP) or my computer (finally) recognizes my phone, installs drivers correctly, but when I go to look for files, nothing shows up.
What I've done:
-I'm using the original USB cable that came with my phone and it charges fine
-I've plugged it into all available USB ports
-I've restarted the phone numerous times, taken out the SD card and the SIM card with no luck
-I've uninstalled the Samsung drivers and done the same
-I'm running stock ROM, even flash reset a couple times with the same problem
-I'm running the latest software from Verizon
-I've tried switching USB debugging on and off, only gives me further errors such as that the phone can't recognize the system I'm running with my computer being unable to install the drivers correctly
I have a hunch that the Micro USB input from the phone may be to blame, but I'd like to get an opinion from the forum before I decide to send it to the store to get it replaced or fixed. It also could be just a bad ROM flash, but again I'd like to get an opinion before I absolutely have to do so.
EDIT: I apologize, I'm running Windows 7 by the way.
i am going though this right now too. I just stopped working tonight worked for the past 3 days
When mtp is the problem I've yet to find and answer. It's something to do with your computer I just can't recall right now. I researched it once because I had a that sane problem. Never did fix it. If they are both on a wifi network you can use airdroid it works great, that's what I ended up doing.

It could just be the latest firmware. It's still a new phone, and I'm sure Samsung/Verizon haven't fixed all the bugs yet. What OS do you run? I run W7, but it's dual booted on my iMac, and the Mac side doesn't work either.

Does anyone have all the cf auto root files and or a good way for me to get my computer to make her note 2 to recognize casual ty for helping this ol'noob out

Nightlies
I was having a problem with the Casual program working too, but now that I got some sleep and looked again; I see that my AV had one of the files in quarantine. I could not get it to let go either, so I had to turn AV off and redownload casual. Works fine now! Also, not sure what phone you said again, but there are nightlies of casual where you might try other versions of it. The link is in one of these threads where you found casual initially.

Im not that knowledgeable on the downgrade but pda net is a app that uses your phone data to give you internet on your computer the main reason is that it installs the drivers on your computer with out searching or worrying that is a bad file

I'd like to know the answer to this too. I picked up a cheap Zeki TBDG773B for my kid and I wanted to root it to remove ads. I've tried the universal root using that sucky Moborobo program for ADB and nothing is working. I've tried an update.zip for a different zeki model and nothing.
Anyone find anything on this tablet? I've noticed other models are rooted out of the box. Tried installing su and it didn't work.
I'd like to know as well.
I did mine successfully with motochopper, search for it in here. Even though it says its for Motorola/Qualcomm it works on this tablet too. I've had zero luck finding any alternative roms though.

When you plug in your tablet it should down load the drive automatically. Go into about phone, click on the build number 7 times. This should open developer options in the previous menu. Go into developer options and enable USB. Have you done this yet?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
If you have enabled USB and it still won't work then its something else. Possibilities are the actual USB cord ( try using a different one) or the USB slot ( try using one of the others if you have any). What Zeki means by "plug and play" is once you plug tour tablet into the USB slot it will start to download the driver automatically. I have always been able to do this, however when booted into adb mode the driver wouldn't work. For this method however, there is no need to boot into adb. Just leave it on as is.

What method did you use to root your phone?
The standard cf-auto-root.
I'm not sure if this helps but I did all the settings and played with private mode before I rooted it. Maybe it created all the files it was needed so after the root and the knox trigger it didn't matter as it was already ran once... just a thought.

I've got my device yesterday from a T-Mo store. It already had the G900TUVU1ANCH version installed.
I've sat on my hands not to root it for few hours; I wanted to make sure there is no OTA update coming. In the meantime, I started to use the phone, played with the fingerprint scanner and the private mode - all while it is still unrooted.
After couple of hours, it was time I followed the instructions in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2713950 for CF-Autoroot. After running the Odin file, my phone restarted and I was rooted (with knox tripped of course ) and ready to go.
I went back into the settings and turned on private mode, selected images to move to private, turned private mode off and the files were hidden. Turned private mode again and the files were there...
I'm not sure if others experience anything else with private mode but I assume that this is the expected behavior of private mode?
I also played with private mode before rooting.. Using the same method as you.. I just checked and it days unable to start private mode please try again.

It might be due to the fact I didn't had to do the OTA and there might be something different with the pre-installed version?

I DID NOT touch private mode before root and mine is working just fine.. I also used auto root. As you can tell Titanium Backup shows root access and the private mode notification is showing.. No problems. Is there a way to run a diagnostic or something similar on my device and on a non working device?
92drls,
Did you have to do the OTA upgrade? Or did you have the latest firmware already installed?

Same as mine...
So that might be the combination that works. For those devices that already came with the latest firmware (no OTA required) - the private mode works after CF-Auto root?
Mine came from the store with latest firm ware, but it gives me an error, and I'm rooted with CF

I just took this snapshot showing my "custom" device with the private-mode icon at the top left... I just turned it on to be sure it is still usable.
Not sure why it worked on my device but it does...
