So
I have been struggling a couple of hours with this issue: Trying to root my samsung galaxy s4 i 9505, with three different odin versions (now last tried v.1.85) and both CWM and TWRP. I finally managed to get a pass from odin, but whenever I go into recovery mode on my phone, I am at the stock recovery "page", saying Android recovery on the top. Which must mean that I am not rooted.
I have no idea what to do, anyone there with some tricks up their sleeves?

Cheers for your reply, unfortunately I haven´t gotten longer than the first step. I try to flash stock rom, but it seems like i need a pit file and i cannot find a working one anywhere around the internet. Is there some way to find the pit file stored in my phone? Or another place where I can find a working pit file other than the one called CSB_signed_Fusion3_EUR_0325_V2?
Edit: Now I successfully reflashed stock rom and installed CWM recovery. Problem is that whenever I try to flash a rom I get the message "installation aborted".
What to do?
I tried installing android 5 lollipo on my grand 2 device but it shows signature verification failed. please help.
Which recovry are u using stock recovery or custom recovery (twrp,cwm,philz)
You can't install any custom rom i.e cm12 with stock recovery your need to install flash 1st custom recovery
I preferred use twrp recovery flashv ia odin

Thanks for the reply. I wanted to know what is recovery.img used for? In the steps I can't see its mention. And I can't see Dalvik Cache in my recovery menu and in Odin only PDA is not greyed out, bootloader,phone,CSC and UMS are greyed out.

Ok so I will be giving you guys a tutorial on how to root the Samsung galaxy note 10.1 2014 edition running the latest version of android 5.1.1 specifically the SM-P600, SM-P601, & P605. I will be using the CF- AutoRoot By Chainfire.
Here are images if you need help
Preparations
Download the CF- AutoRoot File for your device
P600
P601
P605
When the download is complete, you have to extract the zip file
Make sure you have Android Debugging Enabled on your device
Boot into Odin/Bootloader mode by holding Vol Down+Power+Home at the same time, then press Vol up when the triangle appears
Procedure
Open the folder you extracted the autoroot files in, right click on the Odin 3 Application file and run as administrator
Now select the AP button in Odin, and select the autoroot file
Now connect your device to your computer, You should see Added in the log, and the box on top should turn blue
Important Make sure that under options only Auto Reboot, & F. Reset Time is ticked, un check everything else
Now press Start, your device should reboot, and you should see a red android pirate and some commands running
Don't worry if your device reboots a couple of times its normal
You can un-plug you device when it boots, and Odin should say pass, after that exit Odin, and your done!
Go in your apps, and you should see SuperSU, update the binaries if needed, to make sure root was successful, download root checker from the play store, and verify root
Your all done! You have successfully rooted your device!
Troubleshooting
If your device is stuck in a boot loop, hold vol up+Power and scroll down to Reset Data, and confirm, your device will be completely wiped, you can try to root again and see if it is successful
If a factory reset did not work you have to re-flash your firmware via Odin here is a tutorial on how to do it
If you get a message 'Recovery is not Seandroid Enforcing' while booting repeat the procedure, but instead of the CF AutoRoot file select the stock recovery file and flash it. Once your device reboots it should be fine.
If you have any problems please comment below, and i will try to help you through them, and Thanks! Happy Rooting!
After installing CF Root, Superuser.apk is not installed and root access is available to every app without notification. No Superuser app is being installed. If I install 2.52 beta or 2.46 or the play store version, root becomes broken. Can't figure out why. System: DBT P605XXU1EOI5_P605DBTEOJ1_P605XXU1EOI5 and NEE P605XXU1EOI5_P605OXAEOI5_P605XXU1EOI5. Tried with fresh install, of course.

Did that with 2.66 Beta - worked (for) now. Will report back if any further problems occur. Had to perform a data, Dalvik, cache, system wipe, reinstall stock, then CF root. Then it worked out, finally. Just deleting system / caches wasn't enough. Weird.
I still can not find where to download the stock firmware. All those sites either need premium or broken link. Anyone can help? stock firmware for P601. Thanks a lot in advance

Hi Pandur2000, thanks alot. In fact, I'm still figuring out how to use this tools. If its coming from Sammobile, I'm on my 6th attempt to download the firmware. All of them disconnect when I downloaded approx 1.2GB (total 1.4GB). Its frustrating but I have no other choice now :crying::crying::crying::crying:

If you're downloading from Sammobile, my advice is to use a Download Manager. I'm currently using Download Accelerator Plus, which not only allows to Pause/Resume downloads from SamMobile (it will ask you for your login credentials to SamMobile when you start de download), but it will also try to connect to multiple servers to download the files faster. I'm currently downloading the firmware for my Galaxy Note 2014 LTE from their servers at 1,5MB/s after having needed to reboot my PC
Hope it helps
P.S. I'm assuming you're using Windows, but if you're using another OS google for download managers for your OS and I'm certain you'll find something that'll help you

First time didn't let the pass message appear on Odin before disconnecting the cable (my bad - been doing this for so long that sometimes overlook some steps xD) and the SuperSU app wasn't installed.
After factory resetting the device and redoing the process a second time (paying attention to what was doing xD) it worked like a charm!
Thanks man ;D
I rooted my SM-P605 with latest CF-AutoRoot 5.1.1 but I can see something wrong.
SuperSu app is correctly installed and working (I'm using Seeder and tried Xposed) but:
- cannot give root permission to Clean Master (every time I try it fails)
- each time I reboot TWRP it asks me to install SuperSu.

Thanks, worked perfectly for me using a P605.

It works (I've got a P605) but while I had been rooting it stuck on the Samsung logo so I had to download and install the stock firmware again and repeat the process of granting administrator rights.
Open up su and tells me it cannot find su binary, uninstalled it from play store and open again and same issie.
I have a refurbished LTE version from Tmobile. Will this work with my model P607t? I have read that the P605 model is almost the same as the P607T. Also heard root breaks S Pen functionality.

Worked flawlessly, except that on my first try there is no SuperSU app so I repeated the process again. Worked.
Thanks!
Am I reading correctly that this does not work on Verizon's version? SM-P605v is the official model.
worked fine on p601 but stuck with twrp
i followed all the steps and rooted fine on p601...but when i tried to install twrp recovery it is installing and saying pass on odin but when tried to open twrp it is getting bootloop with "recovery is not seandroid enforcing" i tried autoroot again ...so please tell me how to install twrp

Hello, I need help to rooting my phone. I am currently using Samsung Galaxy S5 model number SM-G900H with Android version 5.0, Baseband version G900HXXU1BOL2 , Kernel version 3.10.9-5852541, Build Number LRX21T.G900HXXS1BPD2, and KNOX 2.3.
I've follow many tutorials on how to root my S5 but with no luck... it always get boot stuck after flashing CF-Auto-Root-k3g-k3gxx-smg900h.tar.md5 using ODIN3-v3.10.6. What else could be wrong ?
Some S5s don't like CF AR
Copy SuperSU.zip to your phone/microSD
Flash TWRP with ODIN (Uncheck Auto reboot first in ODIN)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2725939
Once it completes the flash, disconnect the USB, and pull the battery to power off the phone
Replace the battery, and immediately boot into recovery with Volume Up & Home & Power
Flash SuperSU
Reboot (If asked to root again from TWRP after flashing SuperSU, say NO)

What happen if I just flash SuperSU directly via ODIN ?
Did you put the phone in download mode, and did ODIN show a connected COM port at the top?
Did it say successful flash?
Try leaving Auto Reboot checked and do it again, let the phone reboot, and then try booting into recovery
You can't flash SuperSU from ODIN, it's a zip file, not an ODIN flashable .md5 or .tar

Yes I did put the phone in download mode, and ODIN show a connected COM port, i know how to used it and succesfully flashing the twrp-k3gxx.tar, pull the batt out and back in, boot in to recovery mode and nothing is happen... i just entering the stock recovery mode. it is like something overwrites the custom recovery right just before the phone boot up.
I think it is likely that Root image doesn’t seem to worked with the newest Android software update version, or maybe Samsung might also try to released some patches to the Android system that might prevent from customizing ?
I also tried to flasing CF-Auto-Root-k3g-k3gxx-smg900h.zip but it soft-break my phone so i have to flashing back to stock rom (luckyly i have download it before)
Stuck with the same issue. Plenty of Auto Root tutorials are available. Each one specifies that tutorial is exclusive to particular model number. G900HXXUIBOL2 is my build number. Once installed CF Auto Root. When verified via Root Checker, it showed success and got root access !!..But Couldn't enter recovery mode since then..was getting stucked in boot loop when trying to enter recovery mode. Had to restore stock ROM...Really frustrated with Samsung's UI. Wish I could change to Cyanogenmod..Any help would be really appreciated..Thanks in Advance
