  1. The article’s method installs SuperSU 2.01, and didn’t allow for update in the Play Store or via sideloading/Odin/recovery.

    This fixed the SuperSU Crash for me (using 4.4.2)
    1) Download TWRP (make sure you get the right build for your tab, N5100, N5110, etc)
    2) Power Off
    3) Boot to download mode (Power+Vol Down+Home), then press Vol Up
    4) Start Odin (I used 3.09)
    5) Load TWRP into the Odin’s AP slot (don’t unzip TWRP)
    6) Connect the tablet and wait for connection in Odin
    7) Leave default settings, click Start, and wait for reboot
    8) Download SuperSU 2.02 update zip and move it to your tablet
    9) Reboot into recovery (Power+Vol Up+Home)
    10) Install SuperSU 2.02
    11) Reboot, start SuperSU, disable Knox, and check for root

  3. I was trying to use the AllinOne tool with ODIn to instal Recovery and Root on my Note8.

    Successully installed the TWRP but while installing SuperSU, and updated it thru Play store – it didnt opened….saying Binary not installed.

    Then i came to know, my Note is having Version 4.4.2, not 4.2.2

    Now please let me know, Can i use CF-Auto for rooting my device (running TWRP, not Stock Recovery).

    I want to keep the TWRP as want to keep the Nandroid backup etc.

    Pls help
