I cannot get TWRP on my device.

I have stock 4.4.2 aka 50020b.

Then i used ioroot25. Success.

Then I used aboot twrp v2 from Step 3.

Then when it tries to boot into recovery, it says on the device on the top

Secure Booting Error:

Device UnLock!! so Boot Success!!

Then the screen dims to 10% brightness, and after 5-10 seconds, LG logo again.

Then nothing happens, and it reboots back into main system.

Do I need to do anything else?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Drgravy:
unplug your usb then

boot into recovery

then flash 4.4.2-v500-TWRP_2.7.0.1-recovery.zip

in twrp

that will fix your dimming issue

that secure booting error is normal

HI DrGravy,

the issue me (and probably the other user) is having is the system check. s the version number doesn't match the .bat throws me out with the following error

DEVICE CHECK FAILED!!

MODEL: LG-V500 FWBUILD: KOT49I.V50018a FWVER: 4.4.2

Now can I simply delete the checking part of the script and let it run......

Cheers

you could try that

or just add your device to it like this:

Hi guys, got this device yesterday and im still trying to install TWRP. Heres my situation:

- Updated to 4.4.2 and rooted

- Installed TWRP using V50020_aboot_twrp script (found here)

After this i couldnt boot to recovery event though everything went fine, got error "Secure Booting Error: Device UnLock!! so Boot Success", after which device would boot normally so...

- Installed V50010c from OP using the same script

Now when i reboot to recovery it just shows the lg logo... cycling power boots to system as normal, so it seems theres no recovery at all now...

I have attempted booting into recovery using an app instead of adb, same deal.

Obviously without recovery acces, i cant flash according to the instructions in the OP saying i THEN need to flash 4.4.2-v500-TWRP_2.7.0.1-recovery.zip... inside is a recovery file, but the script uses a .lok file.

Help appreciated!
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Drgravy:
the first time you used the TWRP using V50020_aboot_twrp script did you unplug the usb before you tried to reboot to recovery? because you need to do that

also 50010c would not work cause the script pushes an aboot.img from 50010a

Being on stock jelly bean I rooted and flashed 2700.

Being on SlimKat 4.9 I flashed LG KitKat GB version. I want back to recovery and flashed 2701 from OP. I rebooted recovery, wiped data, system, cache and dalvik. I flashed SlimKat infected 5.0 with slim gapps.

First thing I notice is screen dimming.

Should I have flashed 2701 before fishing stock LG KitKat?

Any advice for me now to get rid of screen dimming?

Do I need to flash LG stock jelly bean back? And start from this point?

Edit Monday morning:

I flashed your zip with LG 4.2.2 from the other thread. Smooth operation, no problems. It left 2701 twrp I had (there was message about flashing recovery). I let the ROM download all my apps from play (I wiped data) and rebooted to recovery. First thing I see is that on 4.2.2 bootloader twrp boots way faster than I saw on my brief experience with LG stock 4.4.2 UK version.

So back to normal, fast loading recovery.

Second, dimming is gone.

Again, thanks a million [MENTION=4557482]Drgravy[/MENTION]!

Installed from a 4.2.2 base (didn't update to KitKat). flashed CM11 and it worked fine.

Hi Mr Ladoodle,

I've been trying to flash the TWRP, but my LG G Pad it is in the Software Version V50020a and don't accept the TWRP bootloader.

I wish install the CM11 ROM....

Can you help me please?

My best regards!
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] MindlessLeadership:
I was in the same position as you, this is what I've done.

If you're on LG 4.4.2 (Stock) and want to install CM11

Root using IORoot25 http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=48709232

Use Step 3 from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2698267. I was using Ubuntu, so set alias adb.exe=adb and copied each command manually.

Flash 4.2.2 base from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2762526 MAKE SURE YOU REBOOT TO RECOVERY AFTER THIS STEP.

Boot into LG's ROM, skip through the Setup Wizard and enable USB Debugging. Install using loki the recovery in the original post, use adb to reboot back into recovery and update it using the 2.7.0.0 zip.

Flash CM as normal. http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=v500

Flash GAPPs of your choice.

Reflash 4.2.2 base.

Perhaps the OP can link to this post on the front page. You should now be on the 4.2.2 base (which CM needs) and CM11.

To restore back to LG KitKat, run LG's Update Tool from the V500 download page.

I have the same problem, have reflashed through lg mobile application 3 times now, getting sick of it..

I can't seem to find a way to get any recovery on properly without getting this message. Never had such a difficult device before and yet everybody else acts like its an easy device. What am I doing wrong? everything seems to flash fine, as if I have the new recovery, but then the secure boot error happens again after trying to get into the recovery, while before the stock recovery is fine after reflash with lg mobile application.

So is there any decent instructions on how to get this recovery up and running?

And what is this bit from the OP?

If you don't have twrp on your device already

use the script from this thread scroll down to step 3 http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2698267

then flash the above build in twrp

That script gives me the error, just like any other way of flashing a recovery.

[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] jonup:
The only way to get rid of the message is to install v510 bootloader (not recommended). It's bootloader built in check. Flashing custom recovery voids your warranty. Entering recovery takes certain combination of pressing keys. It's in the first couple of pages. Skim through them quickly and you'll find it. Once you install custom ROM you can reboot to recovery from the reboot menu. Or you can install an app that reboots to recovery.

I did finally manage to get into twrp, but now Im stuck in a bootloop getting the error 1 sec after boot and then being stuck there.

I can get tot the twrp launchscreen bij doing a factory reset with the hardware keys, but then it reboots and goes back to the error, except with a number in front of it. It was 3080, with the same error message.

Its getting annoying, just want a different rom..

Any way to get back to a functional tablet at this point? cant use the lg mobile application, cause it doesnt connect to the pc without booting.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] jonup:
You probably got a bad download. Try downloading the ROM and gapps again. Put them on USB otg and flash it in recovery after full wipe (everything except sdcard). Recovery worked here from day one. and I have screwed up many ROM flashed. Just remember how to get in recovery. I don't anymore as I have finally settled on a setup.

v500-TWRP_2.7.1.0-recovery.zip works with CM11-M7-device encryption, but has the issue with the screen being dim.

TWRP shows:

Updating partition details,

Full SELinux support is present

and then nothing happens.

Do I need a newer aboot for this to work? I was on Stock 4.2.2 before installing cm11. Any advice? I am glad that with cm11-M7 the previous errors when using device encryption (no wifi, no light sensor) seem to be fixed.

Thankx this app works very well also with mine

---------- Post added at 06:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:28 PM ----------

sorry for the stupid question, how to enter in recovery with the tablet switched off??
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] joshuadjohnson22:
I added advanced Power menu from the xposed modules download section and it will give you the option there. If you dont have that turn your device off... hold the power and volume down (maybe up too I can't remember) until the LG logo showsthen let go of the volume buttons and press it again. If it works you will see an option to erase your phone to factory defaults... press the power buttons 2 or 3 times(I have only done this with my G2 but I heard it was the same, the G2 was modded so it would not erase but bring you into TWRP I hope it is the same for this)
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] danilos2k:
unfortunately it does not work for me
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] joshuadjohnson22:
It is very tricky even if you do it right it may take a few tries.

Try this, turn off the device. Hold POWER + VOLUME UP + VOLUME DOWN. The tablet will try to boot but keep holding it down it should shut off. Release the buttons and hold them down again. The second you see the LG logo again release the buttons and hold them down again. This should take you into the page I told you about.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] danilos2k:
not even this procedure works, but does it work with your tablet?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] joshuadjohnson22:
No, I would recommend installing Xposed and using the module to do it. I hope that it wont cause you issues and I assume it wont because they fixed it in the newer version of TWRP. But if you still want to do it this way try this (this was confirmed to work by another user to get into recovery, I just had to search.) Apparently it is different that the G2:

Simultaneously press and hold the power and volume down buttons.

When the LG logo shows up, release the power button only.

Now press and hold the power and volume up button while keeping your hold on the volume down button.

When the factory reset screen appears, release your hold on all buttons.

Press the power button to continue.

Press the power button again to confirm if you’re sure you wish to continue with the reset.

Sorry for all the confusion, searching seems to be the best idea lol
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] danilos2k:
ok thankx this works perfect but it ask me to factoery reset! are you sure that if I confirm it goes to the recovery and it doesn't erase all my data?!
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] joshuadjohnson22:
That is what it does for the G2, I have never tried it before so I can't say... According to the G2 forums the factory reset was removed in the newer version of TWRP but I do not know... I wondering is the OP has tried this?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] danilos2k:
F*CK

it works for 5 secends

Charged the recovery but after 5sec it started a script, restarted the tablet and deleting all

Fortunately I have a Nbackup

---------- Post added at 08:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:02 PM ----------

ok I can confirm that the restore function worrks very well :)
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] joshuadjohnson22:
Can the OP remove the reset function from TWRP like they did on the G2? If we have a software brick it may be the best way to get into recovery. Sorry to hear that, for now use one of the many apps to get into recovery
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] woody1:
So, just to clarify, if I want to flash TWRP using flashify, I think that I will only need to use the OpenRecovery file, not the loki apk. Is that correct?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] joshuadjohnson22:
Yes, Just open Flashify, select recovery, select the TWRP file, and flash. It will then reboot into recovery. :)
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] woody1:
Thanks, it worked great! All set up now.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] dalingrin:
In prep for CM releases you will need to update the kernel you are using for the recovery
