    attachment.php


    Goto settings-storage
    You can clearly notice
    attachment.php


    The size of internal storage is around 4gb.

    Thats why we need to backup internal storage as its get formatted in process.

    If you browse apps you can see there is already super user app
    attachment.php


    It means it is prerooted.


    6. Further Trouble shooting in kitkat

    If at all superuser not working use root genius to root your phone.

    Next most imp thing is sd card permissions.
    its disabled in kitkat by defalut.
    so u just use this app or manually put platform.xml in system/etc/permission ( u will get this anywhere just google)
    another alternatives
    1. KitKat SD Card Full Access.
    2. HandleExternalStorage.

    NOW ENJOY KITKAT FULLY.​

    If you have any query or doubts regarding whole procedure please feel free to pm.

    Yes this process involves risk of bricking your phone, but thanks to mediatek as there chipsets are bootloader unlocked and we can revert back from any worst possible conditions.:)

    Thanks avi3230 for KitKat (although official KitKat is released)

    But I need some help .... I updated to my phone (Q3000) to kitKat and Rooted successfully and also applied SD Card permissions using "SDFix_r5" spp..
    But while using Titanium Backup and restoring apps + data (user Apps only) from backup JB ROM, the process is not completing .... means restoring process started but always stuck "0%" and nothing restored .... I tried 3 times but same condition ...

    Can you tell me what can be the problem ?
    Whether Titanium backup compatible with KitKat or not ?

    Can u explain how u rooted kitkat.
    MAny users would like to know how.

    I already mentioned it in kitkat update thread that titanium backup not compatible with kitkat, thats why u facing the issue.


    U can do this--
    u need to install the app.
    then extract the backup data of titanium backup files in data/data folder using root explorer and restart.
    ur app may work as backed up and restore.

    Error pmt change after rename scatter file

    Sent from my NOTE 3 using XDA Free mobile app

    u just delete the scatter present in the folder (better way to move it in other folder)
    then place the attached scatter in original folder.
    start flash tools
    select scatter and try.
