[Q] How to root after the latest update ?

Hi all,
I've just updated my Note3 SM-N9005 via kies to Build number N9005XXUDMK2 and now I can't flash root, It fails every time...
My version is N9005XXUDMJ7 and my build number is N9005XXUDMK2.
I don't know if it has something to do with it, but when I enter download node I see a gray line saying: "Write protection: Enabled".
Can anyone please tell me how can I gain root access again ?
I'm tring to flash this file: "CF-Auto-Root-hlte-hltexx-smn9005.tar.md5" with "Odin3 v3.09.exe"
which I found in this site: http://true-android.blogspot.co.il/2013/12/root-n9005xxudmk2-galaxy-note-3-sm.html

Can you paste the Odin log after it fails?
Also you may have the new updated CF Root which has been adapted for KitKat and doesn't work with 4.3 anymore.

Here is the log from odin

Gave the same error using the original file you used from the first time? -- It is possible it doesn't like MK2, however it should work because I used it fine when I was on it.. Try re-downloading it again and trying again (I don't have it anymore, only the KK version )

Here is the log of the first file

PLEASE...Can you please help me to re-root my phone.
(And if you can, please send me a link to download root for the KitKat version so that I can re-root it when the update will rollout in my country.)

Just to double check -- you are flashing it via the PDA option correct? and you have unrar'd it so you can see the tar.md5 file ?

yes

Yes I am.
But in odin 3.9 there is AP and not PDA.
But I tried both in both odin versions: 3.7 and 3.9.
In odin 3.7 I am using PDA, and in odin 3.9 I am using AP.

Hmm I am stumped I'm afraid. Usually re-flashing it normally works. See if anyone else will chime in and know the answer.

Do you think doing "Wipe cache partition" can fix it ? I don't realy knkow what it means...
Can you please send me a download link for rooting after updating to KitKat ? So I could use it when the update rolls out in my country

When it rolls out it may be a different version of KK than is currently compatible with CR Root. Better waiting til it comes out then seeing what is available.
**[Side Note... If you want KK now you can flash the Official XEO version depending on your Model (IF Hong Kong then it won't work) - and you can root on that without issue after flashing, but you cannot go bac to 4.3 again]**

hmmm

I prefer to wait till an official KK will roll out and update via kies.
Can you please tell me if I do "Wipe cache partition" will fix the root failure probloem ?
I don't realy know what this wipe does...

No one is ignoring your post. This is not a helpdesk so sometimes it will take time for someone to anwser.
Boot into download mode. What does it say your model is?

Make sure the latest drivers are installed and any instances of Kies are not running in the background.
EDIT: From your case it looks like yours is a Sprint Galaxy S4 which has been modified to look like a i9505. In that case try to flash firmware specific to your device.

If you took the OTA of anything higher than OD5, you would be unable to ODIN back to NCG(KitKat). It sounds as if your device may have taken the OTA of MM....but I wouldn't be able to answer you that....as you had stated that you were on 4.4 KitKat, did you have at least SafeStrap installed? If so, try to flash the NI2 kernal via Odin to see if you can get back into SafeStrap....

then unlock the bootloader http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...t/rd-unlocking-galaxys-s5-bootloader-t3337909
then install custom recovery just google twrp download then flash using odin
then find a stock custom rooted rom and install it using twrp and make sure to download gapps also. i prefer open gapps. google open gapps for kitkat. make sure to flash both the rom and gapps at the same time in twrp ps your rom may come with the google apps make sure to check before you install gapps.

Why are you having him install TWRP and a CM ROM? No where did he mentioned that he had an "Unlocked Bootloader". He said that he was "ROOTED" on 4.4 KitKat and happened to lose root via an OTA. Which WE don't exactly know which OTA....so please, before digging him/her deeper in a hole, respectively respond with SAFE and Helpful advice....thank you

Just use different firmware and tick nand erase all

Try factory reseting your device. Not wiping all.
Download the correct firmware from your region and also have the latest version of ODIN (i have 3.12.5 which works really good).
Make sure you have all samsung the drivers installed.
Make sure you're flashing the firmware using "AP".

One last thing. Are you sure you downloaded firmware from your region? Try with different vesion of the firmware also.
I can't help otherwise

The issue is clear as day.
You're trying to downgrade. Unfortunately you can't.
Use a revision 2 firmware and you'll be fine.
