[Q] Upgrade to Kitkat without loosing data/root? Or reroot after?

ManUtdRul3 · Jan 13, 2014

Hi, can I upgrade my Note 3 to KitKat without losing any of my data? I'm on stock 4.3, build number has MJ6, baseband has MJ4?

Can I do this a) without loosing root or; b) and re-root afterwards? If so, how?

Thanks.

Yes to not losing data. You will lose root, and you can easily re-root with CF-Autoroot afterwards.

EDIT @jaythenut beat me... I didn't factory wipe, i just dirty flashed over mine.. worked fine (well after the third atempt)

OH MATE, I TAKE IT ALL BACK, JUST SEEN YOUR USERNAME hahaha #COYG!!

Hmm okay. This is the official leak for KitKat right? Did you flash it through recovery?

Needs flashed via PC-ODIN due to the bootloader needing to be upgraded.

And Yuhs that is the right KK - XEO and OXX are identical.

Wait so how did you do it without wiping data? I might just do it and wipe data since it's too much effort otherwise haha.

Also,

That is all

I guess I'll just wipe the data anyway. It won't take that long to restore it, especially considering my broadband was finally installed today!

Nope, 7th (as if it's miles better!), but here, you'll like this: http://www.sincearsenallastwonatrophy.co.uk/
