This is for the verizon Note Edge.
I can't post in our forum but I had problems getting root. Kingo root works but I had to wipe my phone to root it before and after getting developer mode.
These are the steps I used:
Wipe data in stock recovery (Vol Up, Home, Power button).
Remove SIM card.
Restart phone.
Setup phone over WiFi.
Run Kingo Root.
Achieve Developer mode.
Repeat steps 1-5.
Flash the TWRP 3.0 file by mickey387 (I think was his name) and install supersu to gain permanent root.
I couldn't get my phone to show up in Odin and adb/fastboot would restart the phone in recovery but never loaded twrp after numerous tries at both. I had taken the 03/01/2016 Android Security Patch which I'm sure is probably why kingroot wouldn't work. I'm not sure why Odin and adb/fast wouldn't load twrp until after I was rooted again in Developer mode by the Kingo root app even though the kingo root app uses adb too.

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

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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).
Howdy,
I am stuck and not sure what to do at this point. I have rooted this phone in the past with no problems with TowelRoot and I do not think anything has changed. I had JasmineRom installed but then I mucked up my SafeStrap install so I had to restore with Odin.
This is what I have done:
1) Flashed phone with NC4 firmware from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2524572
2) Used the HLTE_USA_VZW_32G.pit file as well
3) Let Odin complete until it reached "Pass" state.
4) Pulled battery (as phone was stuck at the VZW logo), and booted into recovery mode then did a factory reset.
5) Booted phone fully.
6) Installed TowelRoot, BusyBox, SuperSU. TowelRoot said it worked. Neither SuperSU nor BusyBox will get me anywhere. By this I mean BusyBox complains about permissions and SuperSU eventually gets to the Disable Knox prompt but fails to do so then closes out. Check Root says device is not rooted. SafeStrap also fails of course, reports no root and busybox is not installed.
7) I did a factor reset from System. Let this completed and repeated the steps in 7) but with the same results.
I looked at TowelRoot thread, while I have not taken any additional updates after restoring with Odin, I do see that the dev has left his project to work for Google and fix such exploits. However, looking at other threads looks like people are still rooting with success so not sure what to think or what to try at this point.
Happy to provide any additional information if requested.
Thanks!
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.

I have rooted my L8lite using Kingroot and it was successful (I think), but now I can't get rid of Kingroot if my life depended on it.
Things I have tried so far:
- Replacing Kingroot with SuperSU using the method described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/general/tutorial-how-to-root-bootloader-unlock-t3314786
- Replacing Kingroot with SuperSU using SuperSU-Me application from here: https://androidmtk.com/replace-kinguser-with-supersu
- Removing Kingroot using the option of SuperSU to remove other SU apps
- Uninstalling from Kingroot options menu
- Restoring a backup previously made using adb
- Factory reset
None of this worked. Please for the love of god someone tell me how to remove that piece of malware from my phone. I am frustrated beyond measure and extreme close to completely giving up.
Is my only option flashing? Would that help with removing Kingroot?
Thank you.
Update: I upgraded to Android 6.0 from local storage using an update I downloaded from Huawei's official website (http://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/general/rom-emui-4-0-android-6-0-single-sim-ale-t3360097). Kingroot is no longer there and Root checker app says the phone is no longer rooted. Curiously, SuperSU and SuperSU-Me are still there, but I removed them using app manager without hassle. Am I in the clear now?
Update 2: After rebooting using "adb reboot bootloader" command it seems that bootloader is still unlocked, which is good. Now I have to find a better way to unroot.
Getting rid of kingroot
Hey bujamin,
Kingroot is a powerful app and removing it without losing root is a near impossible task.
However, I have a solution, not a programmed flashable zip or something but just a way to get rid of Kingroot using existing tools.
My solution :
1. Use kingroot to root your device.
2. Get a custom recovery after you acquired root with KingRoot, preferably TWRP (bear with KingUser).
3. Open Kingroot and in Settings you will find an option to Remove Root authorisation or Uninstall kingroot (depending on the version). This will remove Kingroot completely and unroot your phone too.
4. Since, you have a custom recovery installed now, you no longer need Kingroot to acquire root access.
5. Get the latest SuperSu flashable zip from here.
6. Access the recovery and install the SuperSu zip that you downloaded.
7. A Success message and an option to reboot system will be shown.
8. Reboot.
SuperSu has now been installed and can be found in your app drawer. Your phone is now rooted.
Read my full thread (with detailed explanation) here and leave comments for further clarifications.
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?
