Unfortunately no. I haven't found a way to root 5.0.1 yet either. Tried every version of Kingroot that was supposed to work, APK and desktop, no luck.
 
Hi Dyno,
I am having the same prob of AUTH fail, tried everything that is being told but still getting the same error.
can you please help.
 
Not a lot of experience with international version of Samsung phones. Not sure if he's up on the Note but @ironass is pretty sharp on CSC and Product Codes that could be the issue. Maybe he will see this and be able to point you in the correct direction.
 
Can your phone boot up? If yes you can get Sammobile Device Info app at the Play Store and it will tell you your product and CSC code and maybe you can find firmware to match.
If all you have is download mode available, you might get Kies3 to work. It uses your model number and serial number to select the correct firmware for your device.

"FAIL(auth)" in your Odin log says it all. Your phone has reactivation lock ON. See my answer to the exact same problem on a Galaxy Note 3 here :

reactivation lock in off but is not work i ary in many firmware but it's not work please help me
 
May depend on your model number and I would definitely research other sources.
If Odin fails to flash due to Software Revision Check fail. Phone should reboot from recovery into the current installed system.
Some root guides I've seen have you downgrade as part of the process, but again, based on model number.
