I believe one or two people are working on providing the Verizon files and/or an ruu. Not sure what issue you might be having as I am on Verizon and don't seem to be having issues with adblock plus. I have not relocked my bootloader since running rumrunner though. So for now you may have to do without fingerprint and leave bootloader unlocked until the files come out.
[HTC One Max] bender6681:
I unlocked it again and rerooted just to be safe. Still no good. The only thing I see that has changed is ad away now shows me the host file when I tell it to. It is full of blocked things but it is not blocking. I added a site manually and rebooted. I can still get to the site. I will try ad block plus. Maybe it will work better.
[HTC One Max] bender6681:
Last post I care to make on this issue. I am just going to deal with it. Someone released the insecure boot.img for verizon but it still does not solve my issue. No ads are blocked.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Sportsmaniac13:
I recently bought an S4 on eBay, and the phone activated and is working perfectly fine minus one thing: it won't update. The update downloads and starts to install, but about ten seconds into the install the "falling Android" logo appears, indicating that something went wrong. Upon reboot it tells me the software update was unsuccessful.

After messaging the previous owner, he says it was rooted, but he flashed it back to stock before selling it. He suggested wiping the cache, which I tried and failed to do (it errored out on me as well). Going in to recovery mode, it's titled "Android system recovery <3e>", and going into download mode gives me this:

ODIN MODE

PRODUCT NAME: SCH-I545

CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official

SYSTEM STATUS: Official

CSB-OEM_CONFIG_LSB: 0x30

WRITE PROTECTION: Enable

So what's the problem, and how do I fix it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Sportsmaniac13:
Also, when I boot into recovery it says "error", then "no command", and then this shows up in the middle of my screen:

# MANUAL MODE #

-- Applying Multi-CSC...

Applied the CSC-code : VZW

Successfully applied multi-CSC.

I don't know if this has anything to do with the issue at hand, but I figured I'd post it anyways.

'Climate science' is rotten, a joke. But the real rot is in the media. All through these mails there are examples of scientists doing the right thing, standing up against groupthink, calling their friends to account, sometimes even among the inner circle. But the honourable ones have had to fight not only the zombie scientists but the journalists who unquestioningly arrayed themselves with them. Save for a few loose-cannon columnists the media by and large have been a bloody embarrassment, acting as unpaid flacks to zealots, hysterics and hucksters.

Where were you? Where are you now? This used to be the stuff that Pulitzers were made of. The thing is, there is much that is shocking and outrageous but so far little that is actually really new in these files. It's just all the things skeptics have been saying for years, but straight from the guilty parties' mouths.

There is no shame in having been deceived or mistaken. The shame would be in failing to admit that when it stares you in the face. If someone like George Monbiot has the integrity and courage to admit these revelations are appalling, there is no excuse for anyone else not doing so.

I used to groan at people who thought the net could, would or should take over from the mainstream media. But it looks as though it may have to do so. There are stories that can only be covered properly by a big organisation's resources, but I for one am not going to pay to be lied to and treated like an idiot. What are you for, if not to be on the people's side in cases of this kind?

But the net can only take us so far. We aren't going to fix this by sitting mesmerised in front of a screen compulsively clicking on links and reading about it. There need to be letters and faxes, angry and unequivocally demanding phone calls to politicians, above all demos. Where are our marches? Where's our ten tons of **** dumped on someone's lawn? Why are the other side always making all the noise?

What is it?

A simple automated root script for Windows users.

This uses the general root method used on most LG devices as of recent.

Batch file is influenced by thecubed
​

How do I use it?

First, if you're on Windows then you'll need the LG USB drivers: http://goo.gl/PfEgTg

From there, simply run root.bat then just follow the prompts.

Linux and Mac users should read root.bat and run the same commands on their systems.​

Where to get it?

Mirror 2: http://d-h.st/v1A

md5: ca7fd85b71cc56334348b19d39d0a275
​

Warnings

Could void your warranty. Probably not a good idea to try to get your tablet serviced with this installed. It would be best to flash back to a stock configuration.​

Where can I get help?

I can't possibly help everyone so I hope fellow users can help you in this thread.

[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] dalingrin:
My suggestion, if you want to keep root don't take an OTA.

If you really want to stay with stock LG then you'll want to flash updates via custom recovery. The community will take the updates from LG and make them flashable with TWRP or CWM.

I picked up a G Pad on Saturday and rooted it immediately so I could restore apps/data from my Nook HD+ using TiBu. I don't have a custom recovery right now, just root from the Dalingrin's steps on the first post in this thread. Now I see that there may be an OTA update firmware coming soon and want to make sure I'm not at risk for getting into a bad state. Should I unroot until after the OTA has hit my device? If so, what's the best way to do so without losing my current data? If I don't unroot, can I easily block the OTA until I can flash the firmware update through some other recovery?

Thanks much!

I do not think I did anything wrong but root checker says I do not have root.

I have uploaded 2 pictures, I have no idea if it is normal or if I have done anything wrong:o

I rebooted and there was no difference

step by step things I did:

1) installed LG drivers on windows 8.1 (from link provided)

2)enabled developer options from tab

3)enabled usb debugging.

4)ran the root batch file as admin

5)followed the instructions (removed tab to disable then re-enable debugging)

any help is welcome:)

Edit

I noticed that my devices USB connection was on charge only.. BUT which type of connection do I choose?(if this has anything to do with the process?)

EDIT

Okay figured it out works like a charm selected "MTP" usb connection, and DIDN'T run the batch file as ADMIN worked like a charm;)

[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] SCWells72:
This rooting technique didn't work on the GPE. I'm going to follow the normal rooting instructions for Nexus/GPE devices this afternoon. I'll let you know how that goes. My main interests for rooting at this point are restoring data from another device using TiBu and installing Xposed Framework and GravityBox to get access to some of the extended features of a custom ROM like CM11 or AOKP.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] sga999:
Let us know how the other rooting method goes. Also, I'm very interested to hear about GravityBox. Someone asked in the GravityBox thread about another LG device, and the response said it was not going to work on it. I'm assuming they said that because of this line in the OP:

"Samsung Touchwiz, HTC Sense, MIUI, LeWa, etc. are NOT supported".

That line doesn't mention LG devices at all. But I wonder if the specialized UI on the original non-GPE tablet will cause GravityBox to fail, while it may work on your GPE tablet. I hope so!
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] SCWells72:
It worked great! My GPE is rooted now and running GravityBox with no problems at all. I just followed the instructions for rooting a Nexus 5 but used the TWRP from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2565431

The main step I was missing was updating the driver in Device Manager (Windows 8.1) once I'd installed it, but once I did that it was very straightforward. Just keep in mind that unlocking the bootloader is going to wipe your device. I was restoring from TiBu, so that wasn't an issue, but if you've done anything of substance on your GPE already, you might want to figure out a way to save it off before unlocking.

As for GravityBox, it basically gives you the features of an AOSP-based ROM like CyanogenMod, AOKP, etc., against otherwise stock AOSP. So in my opinion, it gives you (almost) all the advantages of running something like CM11 with the stability of stock! I also installed the App Settings module of Xposed Framework so that I could force certain applications into KitKat's immersive mode, primarily games and readers. At this point it's working EXACTLY like I'd wanted!!!

EDIT: To save others time, just follow the Nexus 5 guide posted here:

http://www.droid-life.com/2013/11/04/how-to-root-the-nexus-5/

but in step 6 (flashing an alternative recovery), use the TWRP recovery image linked above. Otherwise it follows those instructions exactly.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] gmermel:
Unroot

My GPE will be here today. I'm interested in rooting for the same reason others have mentioned; bringing over my setup from the Nexus 7 (also rooted).

I'm not sure which I will keep yet. The Nexus toolkit "unroots" that device. If I root the GPE can I unroot/return to stock in case I want to send it back?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] sga999:
Root.bat worked very well for me. Great job! But I was curious about the line in it that tells us the settings will show ROOTED after this is done. I don't see anything in settings about it having rooted status. So is that line there only because this root.bat was used for the G2 (or some other device) before the G Pad?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] mikelav456:
This is simply not working for me. I am on Windows 8.1, have installed drivers, followed all instructions, read through this thread. I either get the starting daemon language or the unrecognized command language. Nothing works. Have tried every USB connection method. So frustrated... Any other guidance from anyone?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] sga999:
I am running Windows 8.1 also, and I was pleasantly surprised to see it work so well. I kept the output after I ran root.bat in a command prompt box, so I'll try to show it here (I've never put anything within 'CODE' here, so I hope it works). When does it fail for you? After it tells you to plug it in and press any key? I don't see anything in mine about the daemon at all.

No speakers on my pc, but it recognizes the tablet, let's me open the folders on my pc etc... and yes, I installed the drivers in the OP (multiple times). I have always had problems with drivers on my pc... I guess I'll have to try someone else's computer. My PC is top of the line but it can't figure out simple drivers...it's very frustrating. I have a Mac I can try on but I have no idea how to execute all the commands. Even if I get this done, I have to figure out adb just to get TWRP on...

Where is my easy button?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] marcotony:
install the CWM recovery

Most certainly install the CWM recovery on your LG pad and make sure install the proper drivers. if you have some faulty drivers installed, you will receive the “waiting for Device” message.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] whoamigriffiths:
Focus on getting the first part done. Once you are there you can flash TWRP with flashify on the tablet.

It makes an easy button seem hard:)

Now as to your drivers.

I have read lots of posts for different devices, where people have had issues with drivers and most seem to get them to finally work by connecting the device to the pc and then go to device manager and find their device there. Then tell device manager that you want to choose the driver your self and then point to the drivers at the start of this thread.

Hopefully this will help you,

All the best rich
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] mikelav456:
Thanks for all your help everyone, but I think I know what the problem is now. The drivers are not installing properly. The PC freezes on initial install of the drivers.
