4.4. KitKat for Wifi Note 10.1 2014 P600 Q&A

[clouds5]

Hi guys I have some questions about the new Firmware and KitKat in general and you may have answers I'll try to update first post with your answers!

-Will I loose root when I flash through Odin? --> Yes

-Is the new firmware rootable, or is there a way to keep root when I upgrade from rooted 4.3?
-->For upgrade yes: If you are rooted on 4.3 you can restore root by flashing a custom recovery and flash superSU manually.
-->chainfire autoroot works but you need to update the superSU app through play store after flashing.

-Will KitKat restrict access to my SD card? -->Yes but fixable through an app or editing a file (needs root), there is already a thread about that.

-Can I still use flash with KitKat? How?
-->Yes, there is a hacked version see 2nd post for link.

-How is the touchscreen driver? Is the stuttering fixed? Do touch and hold actions still drop after ~23sec?

-->Pretty much fixed. To about the same state as the improved Kernel we had a while ago.

-Are there any apps that are not working (root apps too)?
-Gesture Controls? --> works
-Xposed framework app settings? -->works
-Is Hancom Office included or does it still work? --> not included but does still work.

Thats about what I can think of a the moment.

Hi,

If you are already rooted then all you have to do is re install TWRP and then flash SU zip then you have root.

For flash player, download hacked version here, it works I tested it on new software :

Also, xposed works. Tested it on new software

Chainfire's Auto Root does work, once you flash it thru odin and reboot, go to the Play store and update the app.
- Please update OP

Here's a question: I'm already rooted. Is flashing the stock KitKat image via Odin and rerooting the only way to upgrade?

If you are already rooted, I assume you have TWRP too. Just download this KitKat rom, full wipe and install.

Not for me I flashed a stock 4.4 kit kat on my tablet coming from root 4.3. I then flashed chainfire autoroot thru odin on the 4.4 and the superuser there only problem is it displays this ' There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install this is a problem! I formatted my 4.3 before flashing it maybe thats why?

Not sure... I installed KK on the tablet via Odin, then rebooted and setup, then rebooted into download mode and flashed auto root thru Odin.
Upon reboot I got an error selecting SuperSU, but once I updated it thru the Play Store its been fine.

Using ES Explorer I removed the items I don't need and removed all of the Knox stuff.

There are a few of us this worked for so I don't know what went wrong for you.

If you don't succeed then try again, and again, and again....Good luck.

Do I have to update to kitkat bootloader?

Not needed. The bootloader is same for 4.3 and 4.4

Thx for the response from what i can see you never fully wipe your data before installing 4.4 KK but i did so i believe i lost my root like that. So when i updated the supersu never carried over from 4.3

man you're awesome thx a bunch I saw my mistake, I was using chain fire root except the one I had downloaded from a third party site wasn't exactly for my device. Went to chainfire official site got the autoroot bam im rooted at.

Sorry, but I cant find thread related to the issue .
What do you mean by `fixable through an app`? I`m not rooted and full stock.

I intend on rooting this tablet. Am I better off rooting 4.3 and then flashing KK update? Or is it possible to update to KK and then root?

Both ways work equally well I was already rooted with 4.3 but either way has been confirmed working so it doesn't matter.

Thank you. So any guide I find on rooting 4.3 should be the same procedure as 4.4?
