Root 4.4.4

[birdxx]

If you want root on kitkat 4.4.4, you have to temporarily go back to kernel .230, than towelroot,  and than back to .2.83.

If you want to flash you have to - after reboot -  skip the welcome setup to enable USB setup. 

Does that mean that you have to start with a clean empty tablet?

How do you place pictures on this forum?

Direct uploaden doesn"t work, and a photo reference site does not work either.

Request desktop mode and press on the little landscape picture in text editor.

I did that and the picts are on the site, but not to be seen.

A moderator has to approve them first.

And How does that work? 

If i place a picture,  there will be nothing to see until approved? 

And how soon will there be approvement? 

And in the meantime? 

After rooting 4.4.4 on my Sony Z tablet I have all the advantages back. 

If you understand the procedure,  it isn't that difficult. 😨

But you have to be careful and precise with the right firmware choice. 

Root gives the benefits of some extremely handy and necessary options. 

1: writing to sd card again! (no stupid rules for one place only,  which you loose after update app) 

2: get rid of the ADs on your screen. (no flashing ads during browsing anymore!) Adaway app for rooted OS.  

3: use the fantastic backup app Titanium Backup (pro),  that will give you a useful way to return to original state. 

    I had my tablet back in half an hour,  and with 95% original state. 

    The backup with Titanium was much bigger than the one from the Sony app. (7Gb to 900Mb)

4: It's a nice way to give Google the finger,  for selfish going their onw way,  without listening to the users and honor their wishes. 

And you can also go back to 4.4.2 with this method,  if you find rooting 4.4.4 to intimidating! 

Than you can use one click Towelroot app for rooting. 

And if the upgrade to 4.4.4 went wrong,  and nothing works anymore and no repair possible? 

You can also flash to te new firmware. 

I think you have to be very unfortunate to really brick a Sony Z. 

Most times there is a way to get back to the point your tablet or phone is recognized by the flashtool. 

Then you can try it again!

I usually approve photos really fast,so go ahead.

[birdxx]

The last time,  at first  i saw my pictures,  but they changed to a grayed  square after a short time. 

Is that the state before approval? 

Can you please explain how this works

I would be very helped and grateful 🙌

If someone uploads a photo,only the specific person can see it.A mod will approve it and then it is visible for everyone.
