it is also very confusing that all the 3 custom recoveryies available for the GT i9505 are not yet stable and there are several people who complain about them..

root note 3

Hi all. I just wanted to check the best way to root. Do I download and flash through odin one of the pre rooted rooms then Flash custom recovery or can I Flash the recovery in odin and then install a pre rooted rom in zip form?

Easiest way is to just flash pre rooted rom in odin.
However, I flashed custom recovery then flashed supersu zip...
Whichever suits you...

Thanks. I was going to download the deoxed one in the development thread, my baseband is my and build is m17. Is that still on to flash that one?
Been doing a lot of reading but still not sure about all this locked bootloader and stuff

Remember easiest isn't always best custom recovery gives u more options but pre rooted ROM is good

Whats the best way to update to stock Lollipop 5.0.2 without losing root ?
Is it possible to install the Stock ROM via philz recovery ?

stock roms cannot be flashed via a custom recovery
that has to done through odin
you will lose root if you flash from odin
but you can root it again after you flashed it
if you wait for a custom lollipop rom you can flash it via a custom recovery

Sure you could. You need to root the phone, install the flasher (either flashfire or stafstrap) and flash a custom room.
Here is a link explaining how to flash a custom rom using safestrap.

First off you're in the wrong forum. Next, you're on the NJ5 bootloader so you can only install safe strap recovery and only boot custom ROM that is based on Samsung touch wiz. I suggest finding an ODIN file that'll update you to a newer firmware. OTA probably isn't working because you've rooted the phone.
