Root [Verizon] external SD write error WITHOUT root

hello,

So i have soft bricked my galaxy s4 (hopefully odin will get me back to 4.4.2) and that should be fixed...otherwise that's a WHOLE other thread lol.

For those who don't know, Towelroot will NOT work with 4.4.2...I FINALLY found a workaround boot that would then let me root with towel root..and then...the phone began to CONSTANTLY reboot...so now I just want to go stock.

Only reason I even WANT to root my phone is due to the stupid Android inability to write to the SD card, which is also corrupting images and videos I send there...I want the card to work, but after this fiasco I'm not sure I want to root any thing again.

Has anyone found a way to fix the write issue without rooting? And not just for a file manager, I mean globally? Thanks
 
Towelroot will work on 4.4.2 on the NC5 build. Unfortunately you have to root to write to SD card after you use the SD card fix apk.
