Note 3 N900S CF-Auto-Root on android 4.4 (kitkat)

I have Note 3 N900S And I already upgraded it to android kitkat , I used the old root file(CF-Auto-Route provided by chainfire ) and when I flash using Odin it says "Recovery is not Seandroid Enforcing" and keep boot looping And I must flash the original kitkat stockrom to get the note working , so I need a root file that can root n900s on android 4.4.2 kitkat, please help and sorry for my bad English
Note:chainfire update the old CF-Auto-Route file to work on android 4.4.2 kitkat but for N9005 only

You can't use CF autoroot on the Korean KK bootloaders because they are different from the international one.
Flash CWM usin Odin from here http://d-h.st/rZq, then get root with SuperSu (http://download.chainfire.eu/382/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.93.zip) through CWM. Remember to take a backup of your system before you do this, though!

Thx
Thanks for your reply I will try and feedback the results

I owe you man

please give me solution ??

Take a 4.4.2 package unpack it and remove bootloaders, then repack and test.
You can opposedly to SGY firmwares (s5360) open S4 firmwares with Winrar / 7-Zip.

User who say that are user who don't even care about their country code nor their CSC
If your CSC is XEF then you have to flash a non-knox 4.4.2 XEF ROM, if wifi/IMEI is null it's most likely a MODEM mismatch.
Just reflash the modem by using Odin3's CP section :good:
EDIT :
Or you may just try Mobile Odin Pro, for a buck it downgrades the phone a simple way.

I first rooted and installed SUPERSU on my device with lollipop 5.0.1 to get x mode games. Since xmodgames doesn't support lollipop currently I decided to downgrade my Samsung GT-I9500 from lollipop 5.0.1 to Kit Kat via ODIN after doing a complete wipe via philz_touch_6.12.8-i9500.tar but after the install My mobile had null imei. I was able to successfully root the device and install SUPERSU and Xmodgames also worked fine but without any mobile network due to NULL Imei.
I tried all forums some had software to remove the null state and some had service code etc, but nothing worked and a techie told me that this can now be restored only through some box available only with professionals and asked me a very high fee almost 30% cost of the device.
I finally figured it out and restored my phone back to lollipop 5.0.1 after doing a wipe by PHILZ (without root selected) and my phone was back to its original state.
Hope this helps.

thnx for reply but as i said about downgrading lollipop to kitkat
i want kitkat back on my phone .. lollipop sucks... worst battery backup , working slow , no silent mode, no fully root , no xposed , no greenfy ( rooted) and many more :crying:
and plz some1 make a new thread for guide downgrading LP to KK step by step ....

The easy way:
1. Flash custom recovery
2. Flash custom 4.4.2
3. Amazing it works.

What did u do wrong?

i had the same problem a few days back.
i tought i was doomed !!!
listen up, this is what you need to do.
download the stock firmware from sammobile.
get your phone in download mode and hook it up with odin, then install the stock firmware, the good news is: You will not lose your apps, settings or files.
Everything remains the way it is.
in my case (i think) is that i tried to root it with a broken USB cable.
the other tought was that i used CF-Autoroot from chainfires website, it shows that its for android 5.01 while i was on 4.4.
at least, i hope you can use my info, please let me know if it helped for you
When it happened to me, i allmost ****ted myself

Thank you very much Racinghart91 . I have managed to fix the problem with Kies.
The main problem was that Kies was not recognizing my phone model, and I found out that the model as to be inserted in Keis with capital letters. With that Kies have found my correct firmware and I have updated it, and now its all good.
And I have a back up of all, ROM and apps . Now I can try another ROOT, and if it failde I have now all the backups I need.
By the way do you guys know any sucessful ROOT for my Phone, I have the Android version 4.4.4
Model : SM-N910F
SSN : N910FGSMH
Another question, should I wait for the next Android update 5.0, or ROOT my Note 4 befor the update?
I have successfully ROOT my wifes Note 3, and Now its much faster tahn my Note 4, in Apps, games all, damn how is that possible ?
Thanks once again.

I reflash many time with diffrent roms versions (only kk 4 4 2 from sammobile) the probl is the same on every rom i flash !!
I think is releate with KNOX crap but im not sure ,The only way to have wifi on kitkat again is to flash another kernel after i flash the stock rom !!! I really need help with that because i need some stock version for daily use.
I try kies ....same results.... i try odin..same results ...wifi dont start ! I delete wpa_supplicant from data/misc/wifi ..nothing.... no wifi !

I do not think I missed the point. Your original post only mentions KK but not LP which is why I suggested LP. The last line of your original post even states the ROM in use on the phone.

No worries. Thank you for clarifying the situation. Your English is fine.
I don't know which version of Odin you are using but I always use Odin 3.07 because I have never had a problem with 3.07.
Do you have a pit file for your phone? Flashing the pit file with the stock ROM in Odin might solve the problem.

This is coz KNOX blocked the wifi access.
SOLUTION:
1. Flash via ODIN the latest android 4.4.2 version to your device: THIS ONE.
2. Root it via ODIN with CF-Autoroot.
3. Using Root Explorer (for example) delete all the KNOX entries: GUIDE.
4. Reboot your device. You should have wifi now. Install TRIANGLE AWAY and reset your flash counter to complete the job. Done.

You mentioned that you tried kies in your post but Kies didn't support your phone. It could be that the updated ROM is supported in Samsung's smart switch.

Cf auto Root

Thanks for reply ,, i tried cf auto root and when the download by oden begin then it intrupted ,i saw a thread aboud deactivating samsung account (auto relock or something like that) ..i will remove it and then trying again to root by cf auto root .

I deactivate "reactivation lock" in security tab .and its work . I root it in 10 sec.
But i still have a question can rooting by cf auto root allows me to instal costum roms?!!

Yes and no .
A custom recovery is also required .

The simplest way to install a custom ROM would be to install TWRP via Odin. Installing via Odin does not require root access.

Thanks guys for helping me and I'm sorry for late reply I was in vacation ..everything is good now I rooted it very well and installed twrp ,I start using CyanogenMod 12.1 and it work well .I tried first cm 13 but it has issues like no sound in calls I tried to find solution for that but didn't work . so I installed cm 12.1 and I didn't noticed much differences between them so I'm happy with this cm 12.1 . thanks Again ur the best. Cheers.
