Thanks Mo123 & Sergio !
I have been searching for a method to root KitKat without the need to install Linux and I have investigate the methods that is used by Linux people and transferred that to the Windows world.
First credits to:
I take no credit for the solution that I use and the original thread that I took the most information from is from:
- 900Supersport thread: Rooting Kitkat.
- Farhanito that pointed me in the right direction on my thread How to root a Stockrom here.
- Finless for his tips on where we should put the lines in init.rc.
- Chainfire for the file Super SU
Download this file here and the read the instructions.txt
I haven´t had any problems with this (tried several stock ROM:s and unrooted custom ROM:s) but beware that I take no responsability if you are trying this method and something goes wrong and you brick your device, you must know what you are doing.
I have done all my tests on CR11S/CS968 Rom:s but as far as i Know it should work with every ROM that extracts the original image into a System and Boot image under the temp directory in RK3xxx tools.
Remember to extract the Rooting_Kitkat.rar i the same directory as Temp exists so that you have Temp and Rooting_Kitkat parallell in the same directory because otherwise the path dont work in the Rooting_Kitkat.bat file.
Good Luck !
