Flash 4.4.4 ftf > root it > install recovery > flash 5.0.2 pre-rooted over the 4.4.4 > whipe cache > set it up > do a factory reset from settings menu and then you should have full super user acces and then install this https://mega.co.nz/#!NZNzBDzZ!Ysf7jpX9MRBxu91Edr8IiwZHhR8OvizUY7Rbfi8QC-8 .

I fixed my problem with root acces by doing a factory reset

hey guys, i can confirm this method works. i had to do this, all good after works. its NUT dual recovery version 2.8.10 without issue.

Are you able to install Adaway or get R/W access in root explorer? Root seems to work properly on some apps but not for others for me.

adfree installed fine (i use that instead of adaway), esfile explorer can browse root directories without issue and busy box installed fine.

What did you use to install busybox? I haven't had any success yet.

Good. I tried it downgrade to .157 but failed. And tried .108, It works.

just installed it and ran it. i opened it up, let itself set up. hit install, root permissions supersu popped up, hit grant. it failed the install. closed busy box, reoponed and then it installed fine.

No . I dont recomend that you could have problems with it . Flash over stock 4.4.4 or do a clean install

Cannot flash

I cannot flash this in TWRP.

Any ideas?
Thanks,

It's official stock - rooted. What mods would you expect?
Click on the Download - yes it's for C6903.

Perhaps you could at least tell a bit more what's happening. Error Message? Of if your device was nuked?

 

[dyonissos]

The install process lasts a couple of seconds, that's all.
After that i, it won't boot, i need to restore a nandroid backup.
Nothing useful in the logs.
It's TWRP 2.8.4 multiboot.
Thanks!
