I am trying to root my galaxy s3, I just updated the system to 4.4.2 and i planned on using cf auto root. I used odin and it said pass, but when I went on, supersu wasn't there. This phone has been rooted before and when i go into download mode, it says that qualcomm secureboot: enabled. Also, i am not able to get into my recovery. Is it locked out for some odd reason? Please help me with this situation because it is driving me crazy.
What 4.4.2 rom have you flashed? Most custom roms come rooted so I'm kinda surprised yours isn't.

qualcomm?
then it is not an i9300 international S3 but an US variant or similiar.
this forum is i9300 only, so please ask in the correct forum, where you will probably get help.

I just flashed a stock rom because I originally was on 4.3 and i couldn't do the ota update and so i unrooted and I flashed 4.4.2, then i tried to root and didn't work
you better check your device
check your device and compare with the files you are flashing...
becouse tho root with odin is 100% secure...
here is the chainfire post on his work,,, follow the instructions

Sorry to straight out ask, but I'm overly paranoid now after reading so many different threads.
I have a rooted S3, and I guess its time to update (which I've accidentally clicked update many times, lucky I have Teamwin stops the update, and I can reboot back to the old version
I'm wondering if there is a seemless way of updating. In the past I would update and have to re-root. For the most part this has worked out pretty well. I havent bricked my phone yet (knock on wood). But I've been reading and I'm not sure how to proceed from here.
Is there way to update my rooted 4.1.2 to 4.3 the way it is now? or do update the update and re-root the phone using one of the '4.3 I535' guides?
In case its needed
Verizon Samsung Galaxy S3

Have You already tried through KIES ? Because normally in phone settings you are not able to update it higher than 4.1.2 but in Kies I've updated mine up to 4.3 with no root so this was safe. You should try it out. When You will fail xD and "You have already installed the newest version" just flash insecure kernel with ODIN download some 4.3 official software and than install STOCK kernel. I suggest right before it to use triangle away to reset Your binary counter for fully stock S3 with no trace of rooting.

I havent tried updating yet.
Do you have a guide I can follow? Will I have to reroot when I'm done?
sorry, I'm not so good with smartphones and rooting/flashing.
You are in the wrong forum, anything you flash from here (for the i9300) will hard brick your phone. Go to the specific forum for your S3 model.

Make sure you have the Samsung drivers installed on your computer so odin recognizes your phone
Just install it in Odin .
Then download a rom of choice and follow the install instructions for the particular Rom

The easiest way is to downgrade to an earlier version that you can use towel root to root with .. As far as I know their is no way to root NH5 as of now .. I could be wrong but Im pretty sure ..Have you rooted a samsung device before ?

There's a way to root every version of software they're released. Since the bootloader is unlocked, all that's needed is to flash a custom recovery, then when TWRP asks you if you want to root, just click yes, and you're done. It'll always be like this unless they lock the bootloader.

Google is your friend. Don't take this the wrong way, but if people keep giving you links, you'll never find what you're looking for yourself. If you just google "TWRP Galaxy S5", the first link is the right one. It'll tell you how to flash it as well using ODIN.

Why? Tmobile does even care.
No I know that, but Samsung AllShare Cast Dongle does care.. the dongle won't work on a rooted device. I had a Samsung galaxy note 10.1 that I rooted but I used triangle away to reset counter and it then would work. I use my tablet and dongle most nights and my other allshare in my car for my appradio. The S5 and Tab S will be first devices I didn't root
Any news on Knox?
Its been awhile since i rooted my phones and flashed roms. I juat rooted my s5. But i dont believe i installed a custom recovery. In the past i always downloaded rom manager and installed cwm through the app. But it says device not compatible. Or ud download goo manager and install twrp through that app and i dont see the version for my tmobile s5 listed. Can someone help me with flashing a custom recovery. And recommend any stable custom roms i should try out. Also if there is anything i need to be careful of when flashing i dont care about tripping my knox counter. My device isnt warrantied anyway.

With this you'll still need to odin the recovery. So exactly trigger knox ? I think I'll just odin the recovery, not bother with rooting the stock rom, and just flash a rom

Odin the recovery? no... if you're on the latest ROM already, all you do is Odin the NE6 kernel given in the post, run towelroot, verify root, Odin NK2 kernel back and bam! rooted the latest NK2 ROM with KNOX intact.

I understand how the method works. It's like they can't root the latest kernel or something so revert back for root and come back. My point is if your final goal isn't just a rooted stock phone, there is almost no point in this ? Because since the phone doesn't have a looked bootloader you can just odin a recovery and flash a rom without rooting first

WARNING: DO NOT FLASH ANYTHING WITH a sboot.bin!! This will either
relock your device or render it inoperable.
Recently, resident hardware hacker, XDA Elite Recognized Developer and XDA Developer TV Producer AdamOutler got his hands on a Verizon variant of the new Samsung Galaxy Note II. He assembled a team of experts including Recognized Developer Ralekdev and fellow Elite Recognized Developer Rebellos. With a group this talented they had the bootloader unlocked in no time. Why does Verizon even try?
This exploit involves installing Revision ROM as an Odin package. Running the CASUAL to exploit. Then flashing the custom bootloader and TWRP recovery. It ends by booting back into the ROM. Remember to boot back into the ROM, this is important because you wont get LTE back until CASUAL completes and tells you that you are unlocked. So grab a
chair and check out this video.

I'm sorry but the answer is no. If you are on ND7 and have a locked bootloader right now, than you are stuck with a locked bootloader. I think your only 3 options are to root and use Xposed mods to customize, or to root and use Safestrap to flash a touchwiz rom with the same kernel as the stock kernel, or send your phone out to Mobile Tech Videos in Texas to do a downgrade service on your phone.
Those are the only options that I am aware of for phones on MJ9 or higher with locked bootloader.
Please don't take this the wrong way but this is not where you create a new thread. This section is for android development. You should have asked this in the "Q&A help and troubleshooting" section of this forum. Just for future references.

Oh ok. Thank you for the response. I'll do that in the future. Do you think sending it to Mobile Tech is worth the trouble personally?
Absolutely. My granddaughter got hold of my phone while I was in TWRP recovery mode and screwed my phone up bad. It ended up with the boot loader updated and locked (my fault for that one) and all I could do from then on out was use Safestrap and flash Safestrap compatible roms.
I heard about Mobile Tech Video and thought it couldn't hurt to try and 2 weeks later I was back in the"flashing saddle"again. I highly recommend their services.

note 2 nd7 rom
yes what i did was i installed safestrap 4.0 and i of course did a back up and instead of flashing in the rom slot i wiped my stock slot and installed alliance rom and had no issues at all..it was a risk but i took it cause i can and/or could of just used odin to flash stock back so yes phone works flawless..got a note 4 coming today so im tossing my note 2 as a backup phone goodluck
Good day
So after you wiped the stock slot and installed the rom , it worked out okay?
Hello there everyone,
I was wondering is there any way to root the Galaxy s4 L720 on lollipop as of now? I saw a prerooted firmware which I installed then stopped working. So I'm look for a way to root it through odin or something...
Thank you all.
Me too. Anyone please help.

It typically matters about which build number of your software you're on. Typically, the Sprint S4 has always been rootable by installing a custom recovery and flashing Chainfire's SuperSU zip. He also created the CF AutoRoot, which works for that phone as well, but not sure if he updated it to work on the particular update you're on, since you didn't mention it.
