[HOW-TO] Full access External SD card on Kitkat WITHOUT ROOT

We all know that Google has blocked external sd card access on Kitkat for third-party apps. And there are some "solutions" trying to bring the old days back, but all those solutions requires root access to your device, which is useless for entry and mid-level users.
Today I found an app called 'File Expert', which could access external SD card on on my S4 with official Android 4.4.2 Kitkat ROM without any problems, just like what other file managers did in the past. The most important is, it doesn't need you to root your device first, it means safe.
Try it here:

For tablet users, please consider HD version here:

Here is their official artical to describe how to access external sd card on Kitkat using File Expert without root:

Superb.
Now I can transfer files from internal to external memory.
Thanks.

You can also use stock File Manager which is good app. We need solution for all apps not just for one.

Hi, ALEX,
Ekhm... I have deep feeling that I MUST help you immediately, otherwise you may suffer serious mental problems as a result of schizophrenia.
So, what caused my concern, you may ask.
Let me remember you... according to the post where you wrote:
==================================================
thanks for using File Expert. If you have anything regarding to File Expert please simply drop us an email and we will try to do our best to serve you.

Thanks,
Alex
===================================================
you have sent in 2011, you are the developer of this app.
I am very happy that you have found it today, however my concern is why, for goodness' sake, are you callling the article written by you as "their"
Why I am suggesting that you suffer from the mentioned above brain illness? Because I have the trust in people, so I cannot assume that you started the thread to have just a COMMERCIAL ADVERTISEMENT of YOUR app, which to work in full, needs purchase of worth some 5 bucks key... and, which so far is not very popular at GooglePlay
By the way, personally I think that you have pretty unique way of thinking, if you count that no one would realize the "coincidence" between your nickname @xcxin and the apk names: apps/details?id=xcxin.filexpert / /apps/details?id=xcxin.fehd. It may be compared only if some time ago, Steve Jobs (RIP) would send a tweet that he found perfect phone in the shop: iPhone

[Q] Change operating system China Mobile M811

Hello everyone! I bought the M811 device of China Mobile. It is running on Android 4.3. Most of the Google apps are not working and even if you put the language on English, still lots of information is still in Chinese, which I do not understand. Therefore, I want to put another Android operating system on it, preferably Android 4.4 KitKat. I am not familiar with this at all, can someone help me?

4G
I have the same phone with the same problems as yours, also even if i have the "Network Mode 4G/3G/2G(Auto)" i can't get 4G and my friends next to me with other phones they can. So, is this 4G fake or what?
Also i made it to root it but i can't found any compatible custom rom.

I do currently have this device in my hand.
You can try rooting it and then you should be able to install gapps.
As no source code is released by CMCC(or at least I can't simply find it), upgrading to another version of Android requires a lot of work - possible in theoretic and possibly only possible in theoretic.

could someone please point me to a place that shows me how to root this phone

Zoji Z6 Compatibility

Does anyone know compatibility of FRAMAROOT on -Homtom- Zoji Z6 (MTK6580 with ARM-CortexA7 on Android 6.0)
https://www.devicespecifications.com/en/model/40dd4219
Tones of similar configurations exist on Chinese branch , I don't want to brick my device as I did otherone before -not with Framaroot- , so I want to be sure about safety of using Framaroot on it.
Btw this thread is the VERY FIRST THREAD on Zoji Brand on XDA also Zoji Z6:cyclops:
All help and experience will be appreciated.

As far as I know, there's no working root solution for Zoji Z6.

Hi there. Finally I made a virus-free and rooted Zoji Z6 revision M29 firmware. It works fine. But still can't on Y8321 revision... Anyone help?

Actually, time is running and now I have both - M29 and Y8321 firmware without viruses. Both were rooted but I've remove root in Y8321 as I actually do not need it on that HomTom ****.
There are two reasons why I'm not publishing it.
1. I made it from working firmware of my device, not with clean install but with all my data. Of course, as it is firmware and not dump, any sensitive information is missing. But it was installed about 40+ times here in Russia (I've published it for a while) and each tome somebody start it after flashing, my own device is kicked off from google account! It is really annoying, especially considering that fact, that only 2 form that 40+ said "thank you, Kinst!".
2. Publishing it, I'm helping HomTom to sell its ****. Would it be some improvements or bug fixes - it would be a pleasure. But original Zoji Z6 is a piece of crap, and HomTom did it not by the mistake... I do not want to help that scammers to earn money. Lot's everybody knows that HomTom == ****.

rooting options for Z6?

Even if you don't post the entire ROM, you still can guide others how and what to remove to get if free from viruses and malware. And helping others to remove malware isn't the same as helping HomTom, on the contrary you will help other not to let HomTom steal their personal information.

It seems that Resurrection Remix is available for Zoji Z6. I'm about to install it now. It *should* be virus free (depending on where they have put the malicious code). You might have to edit updater-script depending on TWRP version (newer fails with error 11). If so, edit line 40 & 41 and remove ../11120000.msdc0/.. in the path.

Hi

Increase internal storage and a minor issue

I am facing 2 issues in my phone. I hope this community will help solve me these issues !
(i) when i kill apps like messenger etc. others see me as offline while i have seen in some mobile when you even kill the app you still show online to others as long you have internet connnection. Is there some setting required?
(ii) Is there some fix by which i can merge the internal and sd card storage .. i have android version 6.0 and i read somewhere that marshmallow have this feature but i cannot see it. How can do enable this option?
P.s : i am really a fan of custom roms and i will love it if someone suggest me some awesome custom rom for honor 4c. Looking for a stable and better UI custom rom.

I recently bought a Pad5 Pro. Price was cheap 186€. But i thought it was a black friday sale. When i recieved and c many apps crashing i test devide performance with somo apps. My first afraid was when i detect screensize 10 instead of 11. Then i saw android 10 and i tryed to force to 12 but wasnt able.
Uding some scan apps i could detect firmware was fake to send bad info to device , not snapdragon, real android version is 8.

Excuse my low english level i al not native english.
Regards!!

Try to use GSI

GSI?

Generic system images | Android Open Source Project
source.android.com
i think you cannot get to android 12 as the scammers never made the image for it.
p.s. it is prob not part of project treble, so gsi wouldn’t work (probably)
