Nope, flash a custom recovery with Odin and than flash this zip http://download.chainfire.eu/343/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.45.zip in recovery and you`re rooted. You need Odin to flash a recovery or CF-Auto Root bro.

Won't flashing Adam's Kernel only, give you root and maintain your stock ROM?

How did you get TWRP to install successfully? What error messages are you getting?
Not sure if it's a requirement, but did you enable Developer Options and check the USB Debugging box?

Only twrp 2.5 will flash..but takes a few flashes with Odin...if twrp flashes OK...n I flash cfauto root with odin...I gain root and lose twrp..stock recovery.. try n flash twrp n I lose root...Its so crazy ive never seen anything do this..ive been flashing on the S1..S2..S3..and S4...I know what im doing..

It will also freeze in download mode and say..something about the bar percentage..then I have to connect to kies and when it recognizes it I can flash with odin again

Jeez......have u tried to reinstall the drivers on ur computer? Are u opening Odin with admin privileges? I would start over from scratch and re download the tar file and go back to stock and try to Odin cf auto root and then install goo manager and install the custom recovery. I hope u get it worked out.

Think you rooted your phone using third party applications rather than flashing via odin huh..
trying these methods wont unroot...
to unroot you have to do certain procedure.
Use chainfire's triangle away to reset your binary coubter, which counts the number of custom roms you installed..
and still to regain your warranty.. you need to edit CSC.. its a bit risky and lengthy process.. there are many threads in xda for that.. search 4 it

Thanks

1. Dial *#1234# and you will know ur firmware.
2. Flash through ODIN the same firmware u have and u will recover OFFICIAL state :highfive:

So ther is no problem to just revert?
