I will also add or stress on AutoReboot and F.Reset Time should be checked, otherwise their device will bootloop or freeze.

Sorry for the late responds, if anything someone else could use the answer. When using this root method you loose nothing. Everything is as it was before your rooted. I have unrooted too by the way and it shows that I was never rooted.
so. You're saying your knox counter is 0x0 now?

This method WILL trip the knox counter that resides within the bootloader. You may be able to unroot the OS and remove any indication that it ever was while booted in to Android, but the way that CF auto root currently works trips the counter. Directly quoted from the CF thread:

Wow 65 views and no opinion....
Well, I tried to copy the thread URL from the AT&T Note development forums but kept getting a force close so I just went to the browser to copy the link. I haven't rooted myself yet, but this seems to be the easiest way I've seen.
I imagine that it won't be to long before this is improved further. Anyway, here's the link to that thread:

That's the root that I used, and then I did his overclock kernel from another thread. The Note is my fourth Android phone and that's by far the easiest and fastest root that I've ever done. Literally, within minutes I was rooted and overlclocked.
I just want to be easy and safe... Not like I err break a phone and get warranty work... Knock on wood
system root only because it won't increase your flash counter so ATT/Sammy can't deny warranty on it if they choose.
I did system root for now until there is a way to reset the flash counter.

Allegedly??? LOLwut?
Read this:
In recent years it has become common for speakers to include allegedly in statements that are controversial or possibly even defamatory. The implication is that, by saying allegedly , the speaker is distancing himself or herself from the controversy and even protecting himself or herself from possible prosecution. However, the effect created may be deliberate. The use of allegedly can be a signal that, although the statement may seem outrageous, it is in fact true. Conversely, it is also possible to use allegedly as an expression of ironic scepticism.

Hi jithendra194,
if you already flashed the clockworkmode this could be the problem!
I know a friend who had to flash stockrecovery again, before rooting his device.
Rooting wasn't possible by using the clockworkmode, but with stock recovery rooting was successfully
So you can try flashing the stock recovery first (from here) and after it you should flash the upd_1.zip (from here)
Good luck

I've tested this methods and it's proven to work. Although read a lot before you flash because flashing something not proper will easily soft brick or even hard brick your device. If you have doubts, put them in the correct place for the effect, or just don´t flash.

Try re-instaling the program and then making sure the phone is in DIAG Mode. If that doesn´t work try asking lyriquidperfection perhaps he can help you.

Hi guys,
First of all thank you for all the awesome tips and tricks here, I really learned a lot from the community.
I have a samsung i9305 which I recently purchased to replace my i9300.
I downloaded super su and busy box to my phone but then they didn't work because my phone wasn't rooted (stupid me, i forgot)
so I tried rooting it using this method:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1914394
and followed each and every instruction perfectly but then my phone wasn't getting rooted (checked on rootchecker basic, although settings stated that my device is modified and triangle counter is 2)
so i did it twice but I still got the same result.
Then I tried this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957273
And I thought it worked properly (since when my phone booted up it said that it was updating the OS)
but then my super su installation was gone and every time I try to open root checker it just gets stuck on the (your system appears to be slow...) and it never finishes checking. Also, sometimes the apps won't open.
Can anyone help me with this issue? I don't want to break/brick this new phone. :crying:
I'm currently downloading the original firmware and im hoping to unroot it by flashing it via odin later. But it's a zip file right and we need the .md5 thing to flash on odin? how do i flash it?
I hope you can help me out and I'm really sorry for the hassle.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Alright I'll just start from the beginning since this is just a long chain of ****ery
Rooted my GS3
Installed TWRP
Installed Carbon-JB-NIGHTLY-20130824-0816-D2VZW which is a 4.3 JB rom.
Attempted to install Revolutionary S5 V3 and KK gapps package at the same time.
Hard bricked my phone.
Used this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2581166&highlight=system+software+not+authorized to get my phone to get to Odin.
When attempting to boot phone outside of Odin it just stated that it was running not supported software (unlocked padlock that says custom)
Went onto Samsung and downloaded a Stock 4.3 rom and flashed that with Odin.
Started phone up and was unable to use terminal emulator (no root) to continue with fixes in above thread.
Attempted to root using saferoot, unsuccessfully (updated kernel can't do it).
Attempted to root using CF-Auto-Root-m0-m0xx-gti9300, unsuccessfully.
Attempted to root using Kingo, unsuccessfully.
I do have Samsung Knox :crying:
So now that you're all up to speed to where I'm at, long story short, I need root access on this phone. It has no power button so I lock the screen with a root gesture control app. The back and menu buttons are non functioning so I use a custom UI that adds a back and menu button to the screen. Can ANYONE give me a way to get root back on this frankenstein of a phone? I've never changed a kernel before and I supposed that'd be my next step since I can't saferoot with the kernel I currently have and any thread that explains how I would go about doing it at my current state of ****ery
All help appreciated!
