[Q] [HELP] root Knox

hi i have a samsung galaxy s4 gt-i9505 xxuemj7 with android 4.3 and knox, how can i root and install CWM?

If your root and flash recovery note you will loose KNOX capabilities and trigger the KNOX counter and you can not downgrade to any lower firmware version after that.
If your happy with the above:
Flash CF-Root as PDA in Odin:

Then download any recovery you want to use, and flash again with Odin. Most here recommend TWRP or Philz Recovery.

I tried to root my 9505 after upgrade with CF-root "jfltexx", but after i got PASS on Odin, i opened SuperSU and i got message "There is no SU binary installed and SuperSU cannot install it. this is a problem!!"
How to solve this problem? Is there any upgrade to CF-root jfltexx?

Remember after flashing Root/custom your warranty is now void.
Flash a Custom recovery iE: Philz ,CWM, TWRP and download a Su-Binary and put it in your sdcard ,and boot into recovery mode. and flash SuperSU Binary .Done

Maybe jfltexx doesn't support 4.4.2 android KitKat!

LMFAO. That directory is *always* empty and has nothing to do with being rooted or not :good:

Download this and flash it through CWM (or any custom recovery you're using) After that, update the app from the play store. (And update the binary if requested to.)
Smack that Thanks button if I helped!
KitKat came in on my OmniROM, running on my Note 2.

Here is what I used on both jb and kk. I went to twrp home page and downloaded the latest version (img.tar) and flashed it via Odin 3.09. I then downloaded downloaded the custom ROM and flashed using the recovery. If you are wanting to stay stock with root download the latest version of superSU to your SD card and then flash using the custom recovery.
Here is one thing I found out after updating to KK when holding the buttons to boot into recovery only hold them until you see the text "recovery booting" (or something similar). If you continue to hold, the phone will bootloop and actually turn on. Hope this helps.

please where to download this file please? you said you go to twrp home page, where is it?
Second, you said: If you are wanting to stay stock with root download the latest version of superSU to your SD card and then flash using the custom recovery.
I don't understand what you mean, can we root it without flashing the firmware? only using the latest version of superSU to my SD card and then flash using the custom recovery. that's all.
Other questions:
Oneclic root software can it work with Note 3 N900T 4.3 T-MBIL , Such as: VRoot_1.7.4. or kingo Android root ?

Twrp: http://teamw.in/project/twrp2
(Make sure you download the correct version for you OS. Kitkat or Jelly Bean. If it were me I would make sure you are updated to KK.) Make sure the file you download is the one ending with img.tar and flash with Odin.
You do not need to flash a custom ROM to achieve root. You can use the base android version and have root. If you want to use a custom ROM there is no need to mess with SuperSU as almost every ROM will have it prebuilt in. If you are ONLY wanting root without changing your ROM then you will need to flash SuperSU using a custom recovery, I prefer twrp.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053
Here is the link to get the .zip file for the most up to date version of SuperSU.
Here are some instructions:
Flash twrp using Odin
Enter recovery mode (if not sure how to do it, Google it) Make sure you only hols the buttons until the words "recovery booting" appear and then release.
Once in twrp you can then flash your ROM or SuperSU. If you do not know how to use twrp just look it up on YouTube.
Once you have twrp and SuperSU OR a custom ROM you should be rooted.
WARNING: Rooting your phone with my method WILL trip Knox!
Extra questions: I did research and did not trust the companies performing the one click root. It's up to you on who you trust. I have no experience with the one touch rooting, but as long as they say you device is supported by them then you should be good to go.

CF-Root and CWM Recovery question

Hello all....I have been able to install CWM Recovery on my SM-N900T and it works fine. The device USED to be rooted but I had to unroot due to corporate policies. I would like to re-root it now and I still have the CWM flashable CF-Root zip file that I can install with CWM. The question is, once I install that zip file, will CWM recovery be replaced with the stock recovery ? I somehow remember running into something like that but I am not sure and I wanted to check with all of you first. I want to be prepared in case I have to re-install CWM again.
Thank you all!

It's just a cf auto root. Cwm/twrp are different things.

I recommend using twrp. To obtain root, you can just flash supersu from twrp.

Thanks for the reply...yes I understand CF autoroot and twrp/wm are different things. What I meant was that using CWM (booting into it as revocery), there is the option to select "Install zip" which will flash a cf-autoroot "flashable" zip....

So there is no way to do this, I remember when these phones were first released you could so something like this.

Do you have custom recovery installed?

Here's what I did:
1: DL cf root file that match your phone
2: DL Odin
3: Boot into download mode, connect phone to PC and flash cf root file
4.Download twrp app and let the app install twrp recovery
5. Boot into recovery backup your ROM
6. Download custom ROM on SD card and flash within twrp
Otherwise you're stuck with DL Odin flashable ROM on your pc and flashing with Odin all the time
