I have decided to try and root my galaxy s using the Cf auto-root method and my phone is now soft bricked. I am stuck in the "Recovery booting" screen. The only thing I can do is stay here and turn off the phone and enter download mode. Any advice or solutions would be greatly appreciated.

I would install a recovery, twrp or cwm, use that tar. File and install it with odin as well.

Same thing happened to me. You used the wrong CF-Autoroot or the wrong odin to flash this, try with odin 3.09 using AP. If not, just flash stock firmware, it's a softbrick very easily fixable

Hello,
Tried to root my note 3 4.4.2 N9005XXUENA6
i used odin3.07 with CF-Auto-Root-hlte-hltexx-smn9005
But ti will not boot in any way and as stated by Mr. Chainfire
"NOTE: Sometimes the device does *not* boot into recovery mode and root your device. Just do the entire procedure again if this happens. If it still will not install root and such, make sure that in Odin "Auto Reboot" is not checked. Then after flashing, pull the battery, and boot with VolUp+Home+Power button to boot into recovery manually. This will start the install process."
it won't boot.(stays in a loop ? )
Flashing back to N9005XXUENA6 is no problem and then it is working properly

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 it is 4.3 download either the followings

Hi! Far as i know i use The correct file, do you maybe have a Link to one?
Yeah i check The AP then use The file i downloaded then click start, The flashing process passes but still stock recovery...
