You must not be doing it the way it should or may be you have not downloaded the correct cf root for your rom.

1. asked before, just to reconfirm : which CF-Autoroot version you are using ? the 4.4.2 right ?
3. did you follow the instructions on how to flash through ODIN ?
2. have you uncheck the Reactivation Lock inside security setting ?
Normally if following his step with a correct files, u should be fine.

I knew it.
To flash root, recovery, and custom rom, reactivation lock must be OFF.

Try to go into download mode. See down there whether ur reactivation lock is on or off.
If on, don't do anything like rooting or custom recovery or custom rom.
Try to look for reactivation lock option first to off it.

Its 4.4.2 kitkat , n900pvpucnab . Evidently i think some firmwares versions do not have the reactivation lock. Im just getting ready to try to root again, i am confused about witch cf auto root to try and use. Cf has updated files now:
https://plus.google.com/+Chainfire/posts/NuBxE9dEeXv
the last time i tried was with the CF-Auto-Root-hltespr-hltespr-smn900p tar, but someone said to use the smn9005 tar. :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51446272&postcount=1392
What to do ?
* Also i am worried about this note :
UNLOCK BOOTLOADERS
If you have locked bootloaders, flashing one of these will probably brick your device - with the exception of Nexus devices, which will usually automatically "OEM unlock" and wipe your data !

Not sure if its locked version. How to unlock ?
I downloaded the updated cf root, both the 9005 and 900, retried root thru oden with the new 900 and it failed,got message in red "unsupport dev type", the blue bar was stuck at the halfway mark. Did batt pull and on reboot triangle : reboot firmware upgrade encountered an issue,select recovery mode in keis and try again". keiv could not find device and said "connected device not supported".tried to do emergency recovery but i have no code to use and it no show my device anyway. I went back into download mode and connected with oden and flashed the 9005 tar, and that got me phone back up. Refollowed those other instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51446272&postcount=1392&nocache=1&z=288570789389558,
and i just got to the factory wipe and reflash in oden. its auto updating apps right now, im waiting now to install root checker and see if indeed i may have root.
**** Right on, yeahhhh i have root !!!

Try flashing cwm by chenglu or philz. Both will give you root access as well. Either way you seem don't mind flagging knox to 0x1. Is your phone international n9005 and network unlocked?

Just the same as you did using cf auto root but you'll need this instead.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2454079
Choose the one either jb or kk.
Did you turn off reactivation lock before trying to root?
Afraid that's the one causing your phone to hangup at the screen. Remove battery and turn on your phone if it can boot normally in OS

Ok, so my reactivation lock is off. I re-downloaded the CF-Auto-Root and I got my phone to work.
Now, with the CWM Based recovery, do I place into the PDA slot in Odin? Or is it not necessary anymore?
On root checker, it hangs and doesn't give me a definite answer
So I'm pretty sure my phone isn't rooted, but for now, its working fine.

So you flash again cf auto root successfully?. If yes your phone should be rooted now so you dont need cwm anymore except you want to flash custom rom or mods.
Can't remember when i flash cf last time whether there is superSU in the app drawer or not. Can you see it in the phone?. Try install superSU from Playstore and update binary and rerun root checker.
Still if you want to flash cwm just put it in pda

I installed SuperSu and restarted my phone and that, opened up root checker and BAM, I'm rooted.
If I were to install CWM, would I need to rewrite my binary for SuperSU

First check setting>general>about phone. Check what is android version either 4.3 or 4.4.2.
If it is 4.3 download either the followings
https://mega.co.nz/#!C0Y1RbyT!Iq1A1Aaef1qioyDHkGQVtkRUdGN0LCa37umKGMDyDs8
You need to install mega from playstore to download it

[Q] Trouble Rooting Sm900w8

Edit: This has been [ SOLVED ] please refer to last post, my idea is that if updating through kies it either turns usb debugging off ( even though it shows on, and or turns reactivation lock on ( even if it appears to be off) , all in all this might just be an issue where wiping the system cache on Clean Master did the trick I have no idea.
Thank you to all who had a hand in providing information
Story goes like this.
Updated through kiies and lost root, so I figured I'll just use Cf auto root to get it back, flash in Odin fails and produces in red text "secure check failed : recovery" have tried different USB ports, cables, battery pulls, wiping of cache. I'm just confused as to why it is A) giving me "secure check failed: Recovery " and if there is any way to fix this so I can actually succeed and get this device rooted.
Thanks in advance
http://galaxynote3root.com/galaxy-note-3-root/how-to-root-galaxy-note-3/
Did this on my n900w8 and still 0.0. CF root sent me into the same loop.

Things to check;
- make sure reactivation lock is off
- make sure the cf file you're using is for your os, 4.3 cf auto root won't work on a 4.4 bootloader

Yes sir, never have turned reactivation lock on and it appears to be off in settings.
I have also used the 4.4 versions of the CF Auto-root to no avail
When trying to flash CWM Recovery i also receive " secure check fail [FMM]: Cache"
When trying to flash TWRP i receive " secure check fail: Recovery"
Any further advice?

For root, use this file.
For custom recovery, I've only used this CWM file ever since updating to Kit Kat. Haven't tried TWRP so can't comment on that one.

Yes USB debugging is on
I have attempted with both the exact files, as well as the sm900w8 Cf auto to no avail, I think my last resort is going to be to re flash a fresh version of 4.4.2 and if that sticks I'm going to try this all over again. I'll let you guys k ow what's happening..
[SOLVED]
So, got home and was thinking about what i could attempt to do before i just straight up flashed stock and retried, i decided to Toggle off usb debugging and turn it back on, then turned on reactivation lock, and then turned it off. I then proceeded to clean my system cache using Clean master, popped into download mode, and i flashed the Cf Auto-Root for the sn9500 Worked like a charm passed and rooted my device.
Would like to note that this did not trip Knox i am still 0x0 ( can provide pics if needed) Thank you to all that provided some help thanks will be given appropriately

[Q] Question installing custom rom 0x0 for my s5

There are so many threads, I am lost. My S5 is G900F ANE2. So some questions as I want root and a debloated custom rom while keeping 0x0:
I want to keep 0x0, what root method is available for my model?
Once rooted and flashed; how can I go back to non-rooted stock rom if necessary?
what custom rom and installation method are there for my model?

You can use Towelroot to root and keep KNOX on 0x0. and install Xposed framework. You could also flash the pre-rooted latest NeatRom http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/development/rom-neatrom-v1-t2828562 with Odin 3.09 and also keep KNOX to 0x0. Thats about it, most other custom roms need to be flashed with a custom recovery.
Towelroot says my device is not compatible ... for neatrom, which installation procedure should I use?
"Installation Instructions: If you're coming from a Samsung stock NON-Rooted ROM before NG2/NG7/NG9/NH4/NH6 (KNOX 0x0)"??
what is NG2, etc...? How to know if mine is after or before that??
edit: neatrom says it needs towelroot to root the phone but towelroot says my phone isn't currently supported

Install CPU-Z or Phone Info for Samsung from Play to identify the device., but probably its not a fake one.
does not look fake.. seems genuine in cpuz. My baseband is actually G900F ANE2 but build number is G900F ANI3 ... is that normal?

Baseband should be at least ANG8 for that firmware afaik. ANE2 is an old modem. You can download and install new modems from the XtreStoLite thread and flash it with Odin, will not trip KNOX. Was the device new when you bought it?

Yes you can flash a modem sepereatly or flash a stock rom with Odin. BTW if you want to flash a modem you have to flash the latest bootloader first with Odin. BL are also posted in the XtreStoLite thread.

Yup, power down the phone, pull the battery, wait 20 seconds, uncheck Auto Reboot in Odin and flash the BL, when done pull the battery again, wait again and flash the modem and reboot. Place the bootloader in BL and modem in CP in Odin.

updated bootloader and modem but still cannot root with towelroot ... still same message " This phone is currently not supported" How come? I have everything as described in its requirements
Hi

What's "secure download=enabled" in download mode

Hi, I recently flashed lollipop to my galaxy s4 and I want to root it but when I go in download mode, there is a new text in blue saying "secure download=enabled"
Can I still root my phone using Odin and CF auto root with this enabled ? And if not how can I disable it ?

I am not sure but as far as i know you should unlock your bootloader. But like i said i am not sure,if you do more research about this it will be good for you. Sorry for bad English :good:

No need to unlock the bootloader. Secure download was introduced on the Lollipop release and it doesn't act anything on your bootloader, even if you flash insecured file (.tar without .md5) via ODIN.
ive been through thousands of pages of forums and so far this is best answer to this question lol so this secure download enabled will not stop u from flashing causing odin to fail write and if so what will stop it from flashing stock or any rom ?
secure download enabled have one purpose... you CAN'T download (flash) old or low baseband (firmware) to your device... so you can't flash anything old than the one you already have installed.. well not by odin itself.. but you still can flash recoverys if your device support it, and flash any custom rom also..
edit: this not applied to old s5, s4, etc devices.. but s6 and new 2016 devices because the hardware checks

I was walking about Binarys (bits) you cant flash old binarys.. but you can flash recoverys or same bits even if they are from different OS versions but the bit itself is the same number.

Try flashing TWRP 2.8.7.0 with ODIN 3.10.6, then flash SuperSU zip from inside TWRP
I can confirm this works. Also, you might want to try "Android Toolkit".
