Can't get root back

I cannot get root back on 4.4.2 at all on FNB8 (after OTA update)
Tried using Odin 3.07 and 3.09 with CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505
There are no errors, it reboots, goes through the small setup, reboots again yet no root. Also tried installing SuperSU zip through recovery. Still no errors but no super su on phone.
Anyone know where I'm going wrong?
EDIT: Also, just to confirm - I have checked with a root checker - there is no root

i always just use the option in philz recovery to restore root, then either install supersu app through recovery zip or install it form the play store.
it's under philz settings, then restore root

I have CWM touch, is it OK to just install over it or do I need to remove it first somehow?

just flash the latest philz using odin. whenever you flash a recovery it replaced the whole recovery partition i believe.

Tried rooting with Philz, it went through OK. Booted into OS, downloaded Super SU. Still not root
EDIT: Sorry Gloris, I got philz working, edited just before you made that next reply.

weird, i've never had that so not sure what to suggest. just to be clear, you got to download mode and flashed philz and all went fine in odin?
and just to be sure....try removing battery for 30 seconds, then insert battery and press and hold home key and volume UP while pressing power button (I tend to keep all 3 buttons pressed until i see the "se android is not enforcing" message and it's booting into recovery.
::EDIT::
no problem, did you get root working also? i've attached the zip that i flash after choosing restore root option in philz......i didn't make this zip, so not takign any credit or anything, jsut sharing it because it might be useful.
i generally prefer my device non rooted, but i use this method to quickly restore root to apply any rom changes then full unroot from within super su app. I found it's the easiest way to gain root access (works for me even from a fresh rom install too).

[Q] Problem with rooting , how to fix?

Hello, I'm having a problem when rooting my device. I've successfully flashed the CF-Auto-Root file and it says "PASS" in Odin but the phone boots into recovery and won't boot to the OS and the recovery is showing this message: "Recovery is not Seandroid enforcing".
I've used this file to root: http://download.chainfire.eu/727/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-klte-kltedx-smg900f.zip How can I fix this? I've flashed BOB7 stock and the phones back to normal but I need to root in order to install a custom recovery (Philz)
Thanks.

You can try this if you want it works when using TWRP recovery but not sure about Philz
Make sure you don't have super user app installed on your phone
Download the attached zip and put it in a folder on your phones internal storage
Install Philz custom recovery via Odin
When the phone reboots go to the market and install Chainfires SuperSU, this one here
Once installed reboot phone into recovery and install the zip file you downloaded above
Reboot the phone and go to the SuperSU app and tap it, give it a moment and it should ask for you to grant root access
If it has worked as it does with TWRP you will be rooted, let me know if it works or not.

I don't really want to risk anything , I've also noticed that there are 2 CF-Auto-Root files , one that says kltedx and other that says kltexx. Should I give the other one (kltexx) a try? Also , my friend told me that I need to root first and then install a custom recovery (Philz).

I never mentioned CF Auto Root the process mentioned above doesn't use it. it is just TWRP Recovery 2.4 or higher you install via Odin
Then SuperSu form the marked
Then boot into recovery and install the zip file which updates SuperSU binary to give root access
That's it, no CF Aoto Root

Are you sure that your method is going to work on my G900F? I'm on Lollipop OB7 if that makes any difference.

Same as mine , so you've used exact same method on the same firmware version (BOB7) ?

Nevermind , It appears that there's another G900F , one's kltexx and kltedx and kltexx worked for me and the other didn't. Thanks for helping tho

Easy Automatic Root Method?

I remember on my old Verizon Note 2 I could just download busybox drivers and stuff and then hook it in the PC and just run ghetto root and it rooted it automatically with no hassle, and now I'm seeing bootloading and ODIN stuff and I'm pretty much a noob at this stuff, so is there an easier method that roots automatically or I don't have to do much?
Sorry :l

Easiest method I know of would be to flash TWRP via Odin and then flash supersu from TWRP.

yes...
1. Download TWRP for Note 3(your model) from twrp.me
2. Download supersu for Note 3 and copy to Phone/SD card. (both TWRP and Supersu have XDA threads as well)
3. Download and install Samsung drivers in PC.
4. Download and open ODIN in PC.
5. Follow "Odin Flash" instructions (connect Phone and get into Download mode using key combo) from TWRP download page and install via ODIN.
6. After installing, Power Off phone and get into Recovery (by key combo) and flash Supersu.
7. Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache.
8. Power up.
It looks big but just a 10 mins work

Why Flash twrp? If only root needed. Wouldn't it be easier just to flash supersu in odin?

Odin doesn't work for all models and ROMs of the Note 3.

Can't figure out how to root SG-M928T - Tmobiie

Using SM-G928T.
Booting into the phone with no issues, just no root.
Flash TWRP via odin
Reboot into recovery
Flash kernel
Flash SU via recovery
No root verified by root checker app on the store.
I do have the recovery accessible, like I can go to it by shutting the phone down then holding UP+Power+Home.

Can I get the link of where you got the TWRP from?

now I noticed you have PC, are you on stock rom?
can you backup your important data ?
do you have your mobile firmware on your pc ?(you can just download it from sammobile)
if you have all then you should install your firmware again via odin in order to make your phone clean( i don't advise you to do factory reset because superSU became a system app in your case )
after that you should install custom recovery like TWRP or other.... and it must be official, you can pick it from this form or from TWRP site, *tar or *md5 format, then install it via odin, this will be the first step in any phone rooting or other things.....
then download superSU (chainfire) *zip format to your SDcard or phone memory
then boot into recovery and take backup for most important thing (efs,boot,....)
after than install superSU .zip in recovery mode..then reboot to system
now open SU apk and let him remove Knox....
reboot again, and enjoy......
Best Regards
