Are you using SuperSU? And if you're using supersu, did you try and disable KNOX? If so, then that's the problem. What you should do is delete all knox related files on your cellphone. There is a guide here in xda on how to delete those.
Delete everything relating to knox

TALE OF A HEART BROKEN ROOT ATTEMPT
hello xda members
i am a note 3 N900 (exynos)user from India. i bought this phone in december 2013. all was going pretty good for a while. after almost 6 months the battery life started to diminish. initially i could get 24 h total time with 3-4 hours screen time and with 3G data on intermittently. but once the battery life decreased and got heating issues near the camera i decided to root. I had taken my phone to authorized samsung service centres twice to know whether my phone has any battery issues to which they said " everything is fine ". i waited till the end of my warranty period and attempted to root in january 2015. i have been doing many researches by reading posts and watching videos online. Finally the D day came and i decided to go for it !! I tried everything as mentioned in the video by cursed4eva based on chainfires post. everything went fine and finally got a message : FAILED !! i tried once more and the end result was same. then on my 46k worth note 3 i saw this heart breaking message " "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.". i tried to do so in kies but it was also futile. finally i took my phone to a nearby mobile shop and they said this can be repaired but will take some time, pls come in the afternoon. I was totally disappointed and was thinking just because of this root attempt i have spoiled all these hard earned money of mine At around 5 pm in the evening i got the phone back . i was so happy to see it was working fine ! but i lost 500 indian rupees for that !
End result of that tiring day was like this : i tripped my knox counter, phone wasnt rooted and lost 500 rupees
later my battery life decreased. after a full charge now i get only 14 hrs with 2.5-3 h screen time( phone is just 1 year old). when i tried to search for any soft ware updates i got one more wonderful message which conveyed the message" your device has been modified and no OTA " When i hear that lollipop update is at the door steps i can only sit back with a heart full of sorrow
dear friends out here , i need your priceless help in this issue. I am not well versed with this rooting stuff , so need a simple explanation about what actually would have gone wrong with my rooting extravaganza !! i have read some posts that my mobile can be modified in such a way that knox counter will be 0x0 and system status original which will help me update via OTA. so please guide me through what all things have to be done and what to do in case i see the heart breaker "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." again !!! . After all these , i tried to format my phone thinking it will improve the battery life, but factory resetting both ways is impossible now.
in concise , my requirements
1. need to root my device safely- Warranty period is over now
( SM N900, Kitkat 4.4.2, base band version N900DDUENG1 , kernel version 3.4.39-1955999, Build number KOT49H.N900XXUENF3)

2. need to update to lollipop OTA and reset KNOX to 0x0 and system status to stock
3. is my battey life normal ?? dec 2013 model getting 14 hours 100 to 0 % with 2.5-3h screen time and 50mts of voice call and whatsapping and chrome browsing on H+ (3G) network with 2G plan
4. how to factory reset the phone ( i tried using settings and hard keys- both failed) . when i released the power button the galaxy note 3 logo vanished and reappeared and went straight to boot. i dint get the menu to reset the data)
Please , please give ur valuable advices rather than redirecting me to some links which will redirect me to some never ending loops !! if someone from the geniuses have time, please help me through my facebook messenger or whatsapp

Hello there ,
i would like to tell you that you can easily root your phone by kingo root. it is safe. dont forget ti on USB debugging.
and no way to reset knox counter. so better forget about that.
1. You can use towel root not sure if it still applies forgot the required date for it to work. CF root also works make sure its for your model nlsm-n900. Tried kingo root it also works.
2. No way to reset knox to 0x0 but that wont hurt your phone. You can install russian lollipop you can download it at sammobile again make sure its sm-n900.
If your phone is currently rooted you may want to use triangle away to reset binary then flash stock russian lollipop rom but it wont again changr knox to 0x0. You will then be able to do ota.
3. For battery normally a battery needs to be replace after a certain charge cycle and usually after one year but it really depends on how often and what you use the phone for.
4. While phone is off did you press volume up and home(not sure if required) and power buttom at the same time?
I dont usually use this since i have a reboot application option.
I can understand what you were been through so if you arent rooted go to towel root down load it ( press the button named make it ra1n ) this will root your phone and you dont have to worry about brick it again ... If you want to upadate your device you have to download odin is windows pc programm which can help you to flash stock roms or update your device ..
If you want to download official rom go to sammobile sign in and find your device .
About the battery problem you can do better with your phone so if you root you your note install greenify app from playstore , download gsam to see which app is draining your battery ,reboot your phone once a while

@drheart the shop person nay have flashed a custom rom.
Now you can flash a fresh rom via odin and get the rom from sammobile.com. also use the cf root method on xda for the rom that you will flash.

1. You have to update your binaries first (like in the pic attached). You will have to reboot then
2. Next step is READ XDA forum (about cwm, xposed and custom roms) and no hurry to flash anything if you aren't sure.

Yes, but follow the instructions carefuly :highfive:
Guys . I have rooted my device and has installed titanium and cwm. Everything has been backed up. I have an exynos variant ,india version and is currently on 4.4.2. As of now official lollipop is unavailable in india. I would like to install the russian lollipop. Have a few questions.
1. After installing the lollipop will i lose my root status
2. Can i install the kitkat version via odin if i ever want to revert.
3. Will it be possible to change the language fron russian to English
4. Finally if anything goes wrong and the screen show firmware update encountered an error ,what to do rather than panicking
Thanks in advance
First a general warning - from my experience and reading, a major cause for bootloops and phone issues is NOT doing a physical Download Mode. i.e. rebooting into DL mode or simply restarting and holding the keys. If you want to flash a new ROM (or Stock AFAIK) you must do a physical Download Mode. i.e. you take out the battery, wait about 10 secs, then put the battery back in and hold down Home+Down Vol+Power. Note you need to take out the USB cable BEFORE doing this.
Also, most people don't seem to know that even the latest batteries need to have recharge cycles done - every so often, at least once a month, make sure you run the battery down under at least 20% - lower is better. Also make sure you never take it to 0%. This is the single reason most laptop batteries fail 1 month outside the warranty - people leave them plugged in. It might seem a good idea to keep your phone charged always above (say) 60% but it isn't.

You're right... sorry about that.
1. After installing the lollipop will i lose my root status
If it is Stock firmware and you use Odin, yes. It will remove root, so you would need to do it again. Is there a reason you'd want stock rather than a custom ROM? I've used Alliance ROM and Temasek's CM12 and both are excellent, fast and smooth. Temasek's is not stock based but it is very nice to use. Alliance is probably the most customisable ROM I ahve seen that doesn't use Xposed or other 3rd party system to provide the ability to set it up how you want.
2. Can i install the kitkat version via odin if i ever want to revert.
You should be able to. I am unsure why you'd want to as so far, I am very impressed with LP, even the stock from Sammobile. I say 'should' only because I am unsure if the updated bootloader from the LP flash would support KK firmware.
3. Will it be possible to change the language fron russian to English
Yes. I have yet to see a ROM where you can't pick your language on startup.
4. Finally if anything goes wrong and the screen show firmware update encountered an error ,what to do rather than panicking
This is kinda answered in previous post about doing the physical boot to download - it's the only time I have seen issues coming from an Odin flash process - doing a restart into DL mode rather than pulling the battery to get there.
The other possibility is wrong PIT file or partition size. e.g. I had a Hong Kong S3 and had all kinds of problems trying to get a custom ROM onto it - managed it eventually but for a while I thought I'd only ever be able to use HK variants. So I'd make sure I have a firmware based on where your phone is from on my hard drive so if something DOES go wrong you can simply use Odin to flash that version.
Hi, I would ask for your help , I have a S4 M919v with the ruling of the camera ( black screen ) in I concluded so that was hardware problem, so we change camera last night after he did a factory reset on the phone and opening the camera I get ' updating firmware camara ' ... and the open ends after about 5 sec finally opens the camera, this day wanting to open it no longer goes black screen , I just did root and installed by the imperium was previously with the stock October 'm thinking that might be damaging the logic ? the other question is , here I have a s4 of parts reported in telcel , is the i337 if you change the logic and put it to mine , there would be way to erase the imei of this logic and put that currently I have in my phone M919v ? greetings and hope you can help me greetings .
The black screen could be a result of the ROM you chose to use. Try a different ROM such as CyanogenMod and see if the problem repeats.
As to your question about the IMEI, such discussion is frowned upon here, as IMEI cloning is illegal in virtually every place on the planet. It doesn't matter either if the donor phone is dead or is in pieces.
thanks for the reply , so it is, in Fact last night reinstall the existence to view if it continued and it seems that it was I followed Giving Problems But I will try again con cyanogen to see how it goes, and about what imei not know it was illegal , so I'll leave it better like this, I'll check what the camera , Greetings
edit:
- enter the code *#34971539# in your phone to enter in the camera settings page
- click on "Phone to CAM FW write (Rear)" (you may be asked to update the firmware". Click yes
- reboot
thats works for me =)
hello every one its unfortunately i ve had to ask for help as i ve gone all over the internet for my problem but there seems to be no fix for this
as i ve seen in sum other forums there has been number of people with the same issue
this all happened after i went to sweet rom, was on stock before that, s pen was fine ( i did post in the sweet rom asking anyone else had the same issue) .
soon as i would take the s pen out the phone would crash and restart again . i don't use the s pen much so didn't get around fixing the issue this is about 2 months ago since the problem started .
now i want to sell my phone for the note 5 i thought i better fix this issue .
i thought try another Dr kretan rom to see if the issue got fixed but unfortunately no it didn't, now the s pen menu comes out when pop out the spen , but no writing or hovering .... i cant get back to stock rom ( unroot) cause the firmware update via odi fails (<ID:0/004> hidden.img
<ID:0/004> FAIL!) which is another issue altogether
maybe downgrading to kitkat might fix the issue ?
can anyone help me with this issue ( i am pretty certain its a software fault don't think it be hardware as was working fine on the stock rom )
thanks

the hidden.img fail is normal so don't worry about that. There are a couple or repacked rims in the general section that have the hidden.img removed, it's mainly carrier specific bloat ware

Hi all,
First of all sorry my English not that good,
and please read it to the end
few days ago I tried to downgrade from Lollipop 5.1.1 to Kitkat 4.4.4 which i found later it is something can't be done,
but back then processor failed and i get some things on Odin , it stops on sboot.bin and fail and my phone in download mode says : sw rev check fail device 2 binary 1
so as an android user i looked all arount the web and Xda forums and found a way to flash Kitkat with a way to avoid
sw rev check fail device 2 binary 1
which was to delete sboot.bin and modem and compress them to .tar again , and guys that was the dumbest thing i did,
My note won't start and says : FIrmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies and try again
so as usual I looked again and someone somewhere said "why don't you try PIT file"
so i tried and that work for me and WoW my note work again , and from then i I stopped all the Experiments at the poor Note 4.
but yesterday some App on my note (which require Root and I can't tell you what it is) do some weird stuff and reboot.
the devise work but this message appeared (com.google.process.gapps - unfortunately google play store has stopped) constantly, constantly and constantly ,and that is painful , so I backed up my files and wiped every thing and restart the devise but still getting the same message , so I tried flashing lollipop again but still getting the same error on download mode
sw rev check fail device 2 binary 1
so i used PIT file again but nothing worked
so you know the deal , I looked around and again someone somewhere said use CWM to deal with sw rev check fail device 2 binary 1
So i did , and get into recovery and I use every wipe option i did found,
and restart my note , and THIS IS THE END MY NOTE STUCK IN GALAXY NOTE 4 LOGO NO MATTER WHAT I DID
right now i am downloading Ukranian lollipop firmware but I don't think this will make a difference
Any help guys any solution to fix my phone , please i can't afford to pay to fix it
thank you in advance
UPDATE : My friend told my to root it again maybe it will work , but i just got the old recovery but still STUCK IN GALAXY NOTE 4 LOGO
So my device now working i just download this frimware
HERE
Ukranian one , and work like magic , I hope this thread work for someone else ,
If flashing the latest stock Samsung firmware back onto your device doesn't fix your problem. I would recommend taking it into a Samsung Service Center to see if they can fix it for you. If it's software based they will usually fix it for you free of charge.
