Look in the app Drawer if you have the SuperSu App.. if its not there.. go to the playstore and download it.. and open and then recheck for root.c

just run Cf auto root for now... and try re opening the supersu app.
let me ask you before you do anything else.. do you have a Custom Recovery installed?..

and do you have hangout? I can help you trouble shoot faster that way..

if you do add me Mr.jay.jay66@gmail.com

ok , got good news, reran the cf-auto root. had to manually install supersu again, but this time it allowed me to get around Knox! Thanks for the effort. Not sure why it works now but it does!

    thanks for the tip, just did that, running SuperSu, seems samsung Knox is blocking it somehow

    didn't the superSu app gave u the option to disable knox?? it always gives that pop up when I root a phone..
    I click SUpersu and the 1st thing that pops up it's a window that says if u want to disable knox.

    Okay then try the following... run the CF-auto root.. and re open Supersu. if that fails odin full stock, download app and the run CF auto root and that should do it... if not let me know... we can try something else
