[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] wheeless:
Specifics on Rooting Issue

Thank you for trying to help me through this puzzle.

I've attached a link to a screenshot below (hope this is the information you're asking for). In case its easier, this screenshot shows the following:

Device=SCH-I605

Model #=SCH-I605

Android Version=4.4.2

Baseband Version=I605VRUFND7

Kernel=3.0.31; dpi@SWDD5710#1; Thur, May 08 01:1938 KST 2014

Build #=KOT49H.I605VRUFND7

SE for Android Status =Enforcing, SEPF_SCH-I605_4.4.2_0016; Thu May 08 01:34:36 2014

Hardware Version= I605.06;

This info is after my latest ODIN reflash. have not attempted GhostRoot since this ODIN reflash. Neither have I added nor subtracted anything from the stock verizon firmware.

I've copied in below the content of the last debug file from yesterday; prior to the last ODIN reflash. You'll see lines and lines of "not found" an "unable to chown," and "no such file or directory."

Again, thanks for your willingness to help.
