Are you rooted? You need root to install TWRP.

look up how to use ODIN and TWRP, sounds like you shouldn't be playing with root if you dont have a grasp of basic flashing.
Be careful.. I rooted a Verizon note 3 for a buddy the other day, fired up rom manager, flashed a recovery and soft bricked the phone. Locked bootloader... Had to odin back to stock to fix it.

In typical amateur fashion, I managed to remove root access from my previously rooted I337 running LiquidSmooth 2.9. I was thinking it wouldn't be difficult to "switch it on or off". Evidently, not the case! Tried Casual and motochopper, but failed to gain root again. I've been searching my butt off, but can't seem to find the right advice. Do I need to go back to stock and start all over again? Suggestions? Let me know if I need to provide more details about my configuration. Thanks!
I assume you have an i337 on mdl. I'd try to download super su form the play store and install that. It may work. Otherwise you might have to start all over.

One other thing I'd try is flash supersu-busybox in your recovery, twrp or cwm. It's a zip file. Not sure if that would work on your device though.

flash with cwm or twrp
I'll recomend you to use a custom recovery which is CWM and you flash that file. In order to be root.

Okay well, I have a GS4 GT-I 9500 on android 4.2.2 KitKat.
I updated it from 4.3 to this version when I was in Russia.
And lately, I heard of rooting and stuff so I'm a total newbie!
So, I jumped for some tutorials on the web and I learned about Pc Odin, chainfire root, and CWM recovery.
I used first a method wich involved using odin to push the CF auto-root with PDA into the phone while on download mode. I got only 'reset' but no 'pass' would show. And no supersu icon will appear in my app drawer. After lots of tires and multiple Odin version changes I succeeded in having 'pass', but nope, "no proper root access"(via root checker).
So then I used Odin to put CWM recovery in the phone and enter it to "install zip from sd card" and installed the CF auto-root . zip. Lines start to flow and ends with a "Done". Then I go back to reboot and it says something like do you want to fix root located in... before root? I tried "yes - fix root" and "no - just reboot" And both didn't fix it for me.
Finally, I tried motochopper.zip that have some files wich needed developer mode to be enabled and USB debugging. I only had to hit enter in run.bat and it starts the rooting process. But immediately says failure and gives an error like "failure supersu already available"...
I would really appreciate any help. I need my device rooted soon, please. Thanks in advance.
P.S: While on download mode, it shows that my phone status is modified. I won't mind having to force a factory reset if it'll fix something.
Thanks a lot!
I wonder if my post is visible to others, I really need my phone rooted

there is an app called framaroot, available by searching xda or google, usually works for rooting samsung phones.
there is also a pc app called Vroot that works almost like magic, every device i plug in is rooted within 2 minutes, even without drivers!
Nope...

Framaroot doesn't support the GT-i9500 model. I also tried Vroot and it didn't work. I'm really sure it's something from the phone...
Sorry bro, that didn't help

If you have Clockwork Mod Recovery on your phone now, find a Superuse.zip install package and flash that in recovery. It will work like a charm.
easy steps !
download & flash touch philz Recovery via Odin
then go to recovery and select re-root system > > yes apply ( Supersu )
Then download supersu from google play and he will ask you how do you want to update binary ,just click normal
YEAH!! Finally rooted

Hello,i got a new phone and i immideatly wanted to root it beacuse of blootware etc. open uped odin and downloaded cf-auto root.tar for THIS phone and flashed it,pass showed up got the super su and i get into super su and it asks for me to update the binary,ok nothing to suprising but it says it didnt flash and i should reebot reeboted,tryed again nothing (yes i did try several cf-auto root.tar files to download)
I rooted with CF-Root and I can tell you that it is working like a charm!! There are two methods to update the binary: letting SuperSU install it on \system\something or flash it trought the recovery. Try both methods and let me know of it worked.
Good luck

With Kingroot you need to stay stick to the disgusting KingoUser app, unless ypu are lucky to get super-sume to work on your phone.
Just my opinion

I think it has problems because i already installed kingroot and in cwm on reboot it tries to fix it,Kingroot blocks it somehow :/

That's why you should root with CF-ROOT. Remove root on the KingoUser app and then root using the Chainfire CF-ROOT.
Hopefuly your problem will be solved

Then just download the SuperSU from the Play Store and I think you are good to go!! If it fails to update the binary, just choose the recovery update option and I think you're good to go.

You must click on yes, so you won't lose root everytime you reboot.

I recommend rooting with CF-Auto Root

Ohh sorry, it was a verizon retail note 4. purchased about when they were released. I used the kingoroot method (PC one). It was a little quirky and would not always work, I would have to reboot phone, get it rooted using the app then follow the steps to continue on with unlocking the boot loader etc.

I'll have to give the PC one a shot. Nice to know it's worked for someone. I've really missed root.
