hello,

I'm not able to root my n900 under the last firmware 4.4.2 using "CF-Auto-Root-ha3g-ha3gxx-smn900" ! Odin3 gives me a message "Failed" in red, and my n900 blocked, I was obliged to update the firmware with Odin3 to unblock it!

any idea ? is CF-Auto-Root-ha3g-ha3gxx-smn900 working with the last firmware 4.4.2 ?

thanks in advance.

ok ! happy to see that no one have the same issue, and no solution is proposed!!!

I'll not root my mobile, and wait for the official 5.0 ROM ..

No its not necessary to have a rooted phone but unlocked bootloader is necessary. You tried to flash the cf auto root file but it failed looks like that your bootloader is locked. If you try to flash a recovery using odin we can check if the bootloader is locked or unlocked.

Wait. You have sm 900 which has an unlocked bootloader. Then you should be doing something wrong. Also check if you have reactivation lock turned on or off. You can check it by going to settings then security and then ensure that reactivation lock is unchecked. Then try again. If that does not work then try flashing the twrp recovery attached. Flash it using odin. Uncheck auto reboot. After it is flashed boot into recovery directly from download mode. Then try flashing the supersu zip file.

Ok, no problem, .... now I'm still hesitating since there are many steps before updating 5.0, I'm not an expert, I don't want to harm my device, maybe I'll wait for a flashable version via Odian for noobs or official update ...

thanks for your help.
