That's nice. A little more info would be helpful. Are you on a custom room or stock. Did it just start doing this.
Im on stock and tried to flash a kernel

That's your problem. You can't flash kernels on mf3. You'll probably have to odin the mf3 tar files.
Ok thank you I just restored. Is there any way to update from MF3?

Please help! Lost root after upgrading to 4.4.2. When I tried to regain root by flashing CF-Auto-Root-hlte-hltexx-smn9005.tar, boot loop resulted. It seemed I've lost stock recovery too. After removing the battery and switching to download mode, then vol down button, I managed to boot my device normally. Yet I still can't root my phone. Can anyone advise me on this issue? Thanks in advance.

Mine is N9005XXUENA6,
Looks to me like you flashed the one for 4.3, they both have the same name.
Download this file and flash thru odin.

Anybody rooted NK2? My Galaxy S4 Developers Edition phone was stolen on a recent airplane flight (fell asleep and when I deplaned the phone was missing) . Assurion couldn't replace the phone so they sent me a new S5, but it came with NK2 installed. Waiting for a Nexus 6 to purchase...

Its been out about a day I believe... Hopefully we'll still be able to root this one using the same methods from before. You can try if you want.

Or any other kernel, unless you really want NK2 for some reason.

If the bootloader has not been incremented, we'll be able to regain root on NK2 once there's an ODIN flashable NK2 kernel. So basically, I don't believe it's possible just yet.

Towelroot blocked everywhere...

Everytime I try to download towelroot (both on my computer and on my GS5), the .apk is blocked as a virus package.
The S5 really doesn't like the website for towelroot, and google searches for the apk also get blocked by Symantec. Has this apk been compromised or has it contained a Trojan all along?
Any thoughts or suggestions?

Download it to your computer, tether to computer, and place it on the SD card.
Disable the anti-virus on your PC first....

Wow, even Dropbox kills the file...
After I disabled my antivirus (Symantec) and tried to restore the file, I get security errors ALL OVER THE PLACE on my desktop computer.
*** UPDATE ***
Well, I was able to get tr.apk onto my SDcard and then successfully obtain root!
I don't know what the issue is with towelroot, but my clock on my desktop was reset and the internet time server could not correctly rsynch the time; I had to manually reset the time.
It's pretty scary when this happens...I don't know if it is a false positive Trojan detection or what, but I sure hope somebody more knowledgeable has reverse engineered the tr.apk and validated that it is safe!
OH Well, thanks everybody. Keeping fingers crossed!!!
I Can't wait to get a fully unlocked Nexus 6 (and hopefully prevent VZ from locking it like they try with the Developers Edition devices)!!! Maybe its time to switch carriers.

Took NK2 update this morning. Attempted to go back to NCG firware, in order to use "towelroot" to reroot. Using Odin. It failed on 3 attemps. Unless I did something wrong.

One more shot if you haven't tried already. Flash the full NCG tar from here to see if you can at least get root back and then flash the NI2 firmware. If that works install a NI2 stock or custom ROM.

Also make sure that you have checked the MD5 hash of your downloads. I have had failed ODINs from a corrupt download.

Bummer. I might have got it wrong but there are a few saying it can be done. According to this post you need to flash NE9 first. Flash the NK2 kernel at the end instead of NI2 if you want NK2. Hopefully that works.
It worked for me...

Not true...I was able to root a brand new GS5 NK2 using the described procedure (with hesitation from downloading Towelroot). If ODIN is failing it means something is wrong with your flashing procedure. Try another computer/cable and make sure that whatever you are using has the Samsung USB drivers installed.
For reference I used ODIN v. 3.0.7 instead of the latest version.

Discovered why I could not Odin the firmware, that people tried to assist me. Well wish I could come up with a complicated reason why it was not working, but my own fault,
I never put phone in "download" mode. That's why it was failing. It worked now. Thanks all that helped me..
Looking to sell it and need it back to stock. Any info is appreciated. Thanks!

You download, extract from the zip, and flash this tar.md5 file using Odin v3.09. It will restore the tablet to factory new stock. If you're in Canada, don't download this, but let me know, and I'll get you the proper file within about an hour from now. Hope this helps
Thanks. I'll try this when I get home.
Ok, downloaded the T230NUUEU0ANK2_T230NUXAR0ANK2_XAR.zip file and tried to extract it and it's corrupted... any other ideas?

You can flash an earlier version and then upgrade over the air.
