I9505 root issue

Hi,
I have installed new firmware on my I9505
I9505XXUGNJ8_I9505OXXGNK1_SEB
As always I rooted it with CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505
And now time to time it restarts.
Usually it freezes on main menu. I press Home button to go to task manager and without taking any actions (or clearing resent apps) I go back to main menu. Everything starts to work and respond, but after 1min it's reboot and even to not ask to enter pin code.
Sometimes it reboots when someone calls me.

So in my conclusion CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505 is not good for this firmware version.
Has anyone suggestions how to root this firmware without this issue?

Did you use the last CF autoroot?
Last Chainfire modified his CF autoroot in 28 november.
Think that you have problems because you haven't installed the last CF autoroot. :)


Guys, any mirror for NEE I9505XXUGNJ8?

    Commonly Asked Questions

    Will this trigger Knox?
    This firmwares, being official, will NOT increase your binary counter NOR void your warranty.

    How to install this?
    If you didn't received the update OTA you can use Odin with the official firmwares posted below.
    If you don't know how, look at this tutorial - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=41072377&postcount=1

    Will this update erase my internal memory by default?
    No.
    But because of upgrading to a newer base it is recommended to wipe data and cache before and after flashing the firmware.
    If any problems occur post-install or you want to avoid any from the start, do a factory reset before installing the update. (carefull as it will delete everything on your internal memory!)


    Can I install a custom recovery?
    Yes.
    You can flash your preferred recovery with Odin.
    !!! This will trip the KNOX counter !!!


    Can I root this firmware?
    Yes.
    !!! This will trip the KNOX counter!!!


    Any changes for the interface?
    - updated status bar with white icons;
    - when playing music, the music album art is displayed as full-screen background for the lock screen;
    - camera shortcut is displayed on the lockscreen (dependent on csc);
    -stock keyboard's layout has been improved in landscape orientation;
    - more and upgraded emojis for the stock keyboard;
    - a new location menu;
    - a new default applications menu;
    - a new wireless printing menu;
    For the complete and detailed changelog refer to the official changelog posted above.

    How is the performance?
    Pretty much the same.

    Any Note III goodies?
    The new multiwindow.
    Sadly not anything else..

    Any bugs?
    - Can't connect to GLONASS satellites.
    - Note that on the tw based 4.4 firmwares there's no option to switch from dalvik to the art runtime (this is not a bug, Samsung just wanted to avoid any problems (as art is just in an experimental phase) so it removed this option).
    - Also in KitKat, applications will no longer be able create, modify, or remove files and folders on your external SD card. As a for-instance, you can no longer use a file manager to copy files from your computer to the SD card over a network. This ability, which has existed since the beginning of Android, has been taken away by Google.
    If you have this problems and have root you can try this fix - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2607215

    How does it feel? Is it good for a daily driver?
    Seems faster when scrolling, UI still lags but less. Smoother transitions.
    The smearing seems to be back again.
    Definitely good enough for a daily!
