Maybe you can put the SuperSu file on your card?! Reboot into Recovery and install.

Not working on 4.4 update

I couldn't get this to work on the 4.4 OTA. Went through process several times and saw screen saying it was erasing cache and resetting recovery. Wondering how to get past that and actually root.

Just boot the phone, plug it into a PC, copy the latest SuperSU.zip to the internal "SD", then flash it from recovery. No external SD necessary.

I've just odin'd ND8 4.4 and tried using this to root the phone. It goes all the way through odin, reboots, then shows the big red android, then reboots but when I use root checker it says phone is not rooted. I used odin v.3.07 if it makes a difference.

Follow the instructions in my post right before yours.

I tired on my Sprint SPH-l710 with the OTA 4.4.2 update. I ran oden v3.07 twice and it reported Pass. It went through erasing cache ect. and rebooted itself. All looks good but when I download SuperSU it says there is no SU binary installed. I verified root with root checker too and as you'd expect it says no root. I downloaded the supersu.zip to try and intall that from recovery but since it leave the stock recovery there is no option for that to happen.

Did you Odin the supersu file right after you ran the CF-Auto tar file?

No, How would I do that? The SU file I downloaded is a zip
Put the SU file on the SD card of your phone. Boot into Recovery and install the SU zip file selecting from the SD card. I would do a Dalvik/Data Caché wipe before rebooting the phone. Once done, go to your SuperSu in your Apps and run it again. This time it should go through. Good luck!

I'm thinking that I would be able to do that if I had something other than the stock recovery. The only options I have are to install update from various locations or clear cache and factory reset and reboot. If I select update from external storage and select the zip file it fails while verifying the update.

You need to install one which are not supported on this thread. I personally like the PhilZ and here's the latest link:

Does this mean, in order for the GS3 with stock 4.4.2 (ND8) to work, I have to
1. Go through the process outline in the OP
2. Install the PhilZ recovery
3. Install SuperSU
TIA.
No. You can skip CF-AutoRoot completely, Odin the stock ND8 tar, Odin the very latest Philz Touch Recovery, reboot into Philz and as last step, either:

Enter Philz' settings menu and choose re-root.

Or flash am already rooted ROM, whether ND8 based or other.

Thanks for the response!
A noob question.. Why do I need to Odin the stock ND8 tar if I am already on 4.4.2 with ND8? Isn't that the same?
