Unfortunately, NC5 has built-in tools to prevent rooting. Any rooting process done with ODIN or bootloader is disabled on startup (thus, the Android is upgrading grey window). Until someone finds a workaround, I don't think there is a way yet. Which stinks, since I'm stuck in the same boat you are.

Just use chainfires cfautoroot for the 9005, use Odin 3.09, then Odin twrp 2.7.01, flash superuser and you're good to go.

I booted up my fresh install of NC5
I reboot to upload mode and install TWRP
I let the phone boot normally
I reboot to recovery
I let TWRP install root when rebooting
During bootup, "Andriod is upgrading" gray box pops up, but it doesn't do the usual "Upgrading app x of y" message
I got to the app drawer, open SuperSU
I get the error "There is no SU binary installed"
Same thing happens when I use ODIN Auto Root.
the only explanation I can think of is that the ROM checks for root on bootup, and if it exists, removes Superuser access.

Did you use CFautoroot first for the 9005? And using Odin 3.09 seems to play best with our phones, you may have just had a bad experience with your attempt, you can always try rjwilcos one click method or micmars nc5 tar and go back to complete stock and try the process again.

I'm on NC5 and it took me a while to rot and get twrp to install on my n3. Here is what I did.
I used Odin 3.09
completely turn off phone
go into download mode
flash CFroot n900p to root
Let it go thru a full boot, then turned it off
Go into download mode
flash twrp 2.7.0.0. or 2.7.0.1
that did it for me.

I am going to guess that part of my issue was bad flash and part wrong AutoRoot version. I had been using 9005, but the n900p from the below post worked better.

This also was the working process for me. Honestly, it was the same order I was doing things, but for some reason being patient on the reboots helped. It probably also helped prevent issues with the flashing. Long story short, both these posts helped, and the process listed by rosystreasures is what I would suggest.

Im having problems, with the root everytime I try to update the phone. It starts up the it gives me an error. I've also tried fixing the signature and still nothing. Does anyone have idea of what might be wrong with it.
Did you remember to wipe the intake manifolds? Also make sure the flux capacitor is set to "low".

Ok I've rooted my phone with Z4root. I've got rom manager and Superuser. Now once it's been rooted it says that it will reboot and update. Well every time it goes to update it will begin then it comes up with an error saying failed to get signature.
You need to install clockworkmod so you can use custom recovery to "update things"

Here is the link for odin: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7223192/RootSF/Odin3 v1.3.exe Download and install it on your PC. Once it is installed, open it. Then turn off your phone and pull the battery out. Hold the volume down button and at the same time plug your phone into the PC. It should go into download mode. Find the PDA button (in odin) and click it. ONLY USE THE PDA BUTTON!!! Then find the linked file I gave you earlier and select it for PDA. Then hit start. When you see a green "pass", unplug the cable and put the battery back in and hold down both the volume buttons and power button at the same time. Hold them until you see the samsung logo. You will then boot into cwm recovery. From there you can flash whatever rom or kernel that you have already put on your SD card.
Don't use rom manager on the fascinate.....that's a problem

Wow, way to NOT answer the guy's question. He's trying to, what I can see, do an OTA update, which WILL fail if you're rooted.
You HAVE to remove root if you're trying to do an OTA update.
Also, Stock Samsung Recovery will fail on unsigned zips. you would need the hacked 2e recovery, or just flash ClockworkMod with Odin.

No but seriously, what exactly are you trying to do with your fascinate/i500? Trying to put a new version of android on it? Just trying to get root? We have fairly standard ways of doing things now-a-days depending on what you're doing.

I can not connect to my i500 with USB. I have the issue I have read about where connecting to a laptop only charges the device. I have tried every trick I could find and no go. So, Odin and similar methods are out for me. I have root. So, whatever options I have, have to be performered on the device itself. If I could get a recovery to replace stock, that would be a start. Then I could disable signature verification and the like. I could try methods using terminal emulation or something similar. I just know there has got to be a way to do more than root the i500 without using USB! Any suggestions?
Ok I'm on 3 UK my handset came unbranded ... I just clicked software update . And downloaded the 21mb file after clicking reboot recovery told me the whole package signature failed and signature fail... I also get this

So the same thing just happened to me. How did you end up updating? With kies?
Anyone have any idea why it would fail ota? Mine is also rooted.
Have the same problem with the OTA, Spain, unbranded. I can't even flash it through CF-CWM.
Will have to wait until my wife comes with her computer, mine can't run Kies.
I just updated mine via Kies. It was rooted (stock rom)
Now its not rooted anymore, so i have to root it again.
/Pete
Yea I just updated via Kies as well, worked fine, except it failed downloading the update a few times, so i tried on a different laptop, and it was all good.
What version was the 3 UK update?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
Could the problem be that I integrated system app updates in the /system? Or it's just that it's rooted?
me too. i'm getting failed OTA updates. the OTA update should be working will with chainfire 6.3 right? any help guys?
Had the same. Updated through Kies but lost root. Think it knows the system is modified so won't work ota.
To all with problems: OTA won't work with rooted devices!! Use Kies. And yes, you will lose root, but thanks to Chainfire that's very easy to restore...
My guess is that the failed OTAs have got to do with the custom recovery, that's why Kies works.
OTA does not work with custom recoveries like cwm.
What you need to do is let it download, move it out of /cache/fota/ to your sdcard, then update via cwm as you would with a custom rom. You will then need to reroot your device.

SGS3(rooted) can't update firmware via OTA(even Kies )it will stop on CWM
This what I did successfully
1.up firmware(use Odin) to CF-Root v6.3(that will have CWM 5.5 ver. 1.5)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1695238
2.Then update firmware via OTA (settings>About device>Software update)check your firmware version in About device it should be new samsung firmware and that you will unroot you phone too
3.Re-root step 1 again if you want to root
Finally, I have successfully updated my stock rooted SGS3. Here's what I've done (upon my discovery)
1. For all the changes you've made on the root folder (/ or /system), make sure to put everything back to its normal state as the OTA looks up for signed apps/modified apps on those folders before updating. In my case, I had to remove the hyperx camera mod and make it to stock again as well as deleting unnecessary files like build.prop.bak that I've made. Just make everything SAME as the stock and everything will work as normal.
2. Make sure you're using CFRoot 6.3
3. After OTA update, you will surely lose your root. Just flash CFroot once again.
I have done all u say, but it will not let me update, keeps saying use kies but kies dont work for me keeps hanging after it says update firmware.

dont restore any backups until this selinux stuff is fixed/figured out, luckily its a note 3 issue so all the note 3 people will be working on it .
this is a 4.3 thing but dont have my recovery fix root/remove scripts. you need them for root, when i get some time ill trash that stuff and compile a better version but for now just click no

Just re-run the CF-Auto Root instructions to the T and you should be back in business. I had the same issues and just used CF auto Root and it resolved my issues and I have root with no seen issues so far. Just got the device literally 1hr ago and just finishing up on it. Also if you installed a recovery you will have to ODIN back to OUDHS to get that back. I am holding off until I see some Jellybomb

Thank you very much.
Will give this a try as soon as mine arrives.. my PC is getting too old and cluttered it'll be nice to do this device from my MAC. Thanks
Will this prevent me from getting the OTA updates? I could install them manually that doesn't bother me , but I had a bad experience when I rooted my nexus 4, when I tried to apply the update manually it didnt go through, it always gave a " operation aborted" message , why was that? Would it be the same if I root my nexus 5?
Will rooting erase my data? I know unlocking the bootloader does, but I'm not sure if rooting does

You'll still get OTA updates as long as you don't install any custom ROMS and kernels.

I didn't install any custom roms or kernels on my nexus 4, just touch recovery which auto installed itself
Thanks for this,
May I ask what version of Mac OS X are you using?
I'm on mavericks and I get "Root.Nexus.5" can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer"
Granted I only tested it without the phone plugged in to see what it says.
I notice all the tookits are specific to 1 task.
I want to root, unlock my bootloader and install twrp.
Is there a specific order that I should run the tool kits?

Can I do all of that without a SIM Card installed?

You need to go into System Preferences, Security & Privacy, General tab. Click the padlock at the bottom left, bung your password in. Then click the "Anywhere" button under "Allow apps downloaded from:"
I unlocked the bootloader, installed twrp but when I tried to reboot the phone so I could add the SuperSU zip to root, it gets stuck at the Google boot animation. Any help would be appreciated

1.
power phone down completely. remove battery remove your sd card if you have one.... replace battery.

now i flash nk4 at this time it plug in and flash nk4 tar.
you can see it will boot to stock recovery and see a progress bar.
let it go. it will then reboot again. after this time myself personally wait till device turn on and shows signs of booting. (i.e when i see the android optimizing apps i pull battery)
3.
replace battery back in. boot to stock recovery. this is hold power & volume - together and boot. in stock recovery do a factory reset.
i do several. call it ocd. let the phone boot back up. it should take the update. let it do its thing. files over 920mb in size. mine took 20 minutes to dl. after its all done and booting and you see the sign like i said before. i pull the battery
(NOTE)
(IF KNOX ISNT TRIPPED FOR YOU AND YOU WISH TO REMAIN THAT WAY.DO NOT CONTINUE ON TO OBTAIN ROOT.YOU CAN TRY CF AUTO ROOT. SOME SAY IT WORKS I PERSONALLY HAVENT A CLUE.)
4.
next step is i boot back to the download mode we talked about earlier. (via a battery pull)
then i flash a customer recovery in odin . your personal choice. personally i use philz
5.
Now after she reboots and once again shows the signs of booting i said earlier. i pull battery, replace the sd card you removed earlier.
6.
boot back to recovery. i then flash supersu
7.
reboot and let it do its thing and your fully rooted on lollipop. pretty easy here is my hidden jem folder. if you need odin and such, i have a few versions. https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=devices&uid=22979706399755534
Boom!
Worked like a charm. I posted last night looking for these directions exactly how you've laid them out. I appreciate it!
well done, sir!
To enter download mode, I had to press volume -, home, and power, then press volume + to continue.
Doing this process now. Hopefully be able to reply soon on its success!
EDIT: Currently downloading the new update! *excited*
I'm not sure if I'm blind or what, but how do you boot to your custom recovery? I've installed Philz Touch from your link, I've powered the phone down, pressed vol+ and power and even vol- and power, both don't work. I've had to press vol+, home, and power to boot to recovery but it appears to be stock recovery still...I'm guessing the Odin install for the custom recovery didn't take?
---------- Post added at 08:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:24 PM ----------
Ok, I got it. For the noobs like me, I had to untick "Auto Reboot" when I installed the custom recovery. I'm sure it is common practice to do so but I didn't know. Once I did that, custom recovery took and I was able to boot to it and install supersu.
Thanks for this thread @kaos420.
will this work if you have twrp recovery

lol, I'm thoroughly annoyed that this source isn't posted yet.
I'm stubbornly refusing to go through the simple process you've outlined in your op. even though I want it so bad.
but when I give in, it'll be because of this thread.

Guess he'll have to do it the old fashion way.
There is a 54 meg modem.emmc.win file. Don't know what good it is though.

Enter Downlaod mode from powered completely off.
Uncheck "Auto reset" and pull the battery after flash.
First thing you need to do is boot into your custom recovery to patch your ROM (it should automatically do so assuming it is written to do so), otherwise the ROM will rewrite the stock recovery to recovery partition.
I was on oc5 and mesed up with launcher and tried to go back to 4.4.4. It goes well without any problem. Started and downloaded ota 5.0.. flashed cf autoroot and all is good. Thank you for this tutorial
