[G Pad 8.3 General] echnolon:
Afaik the modem and BT-hardware of the GPE are both named palman, so do you think it's an hardware problem (like the GPE has different hardware for those two) or do you think it might be just a software problem (some functions searching for "palman" instead of "v500")?
[G Pad 8.3 General] AndroidUser00110001:
They are mostly calling for Qualcomm drivers. If the hardware is the same then the port should just work like how it does one the HTC One and S4 ports.

I have spent the past few hours going over every file to figure this crap out so maybe tomorrow when I return the tablet and get new one I can make more progress.

I wish I had a faster computer and that you can transfer files while in recovery. Would have had this figured out by now.

Anyone have some old computer parts laying around? LOL anything has to be faster than my 4 year old desktop.
[G Pad 8.3 General] AndroidUser00110001:
Yay...Got new G Pad :)
[G Pad 8.3 General] jcagara08:
Whoah there that was quick mad props for you man, I am waiting before you make that perfect port till ill have my g pad 2
[G Pad 8.3 General] hachiueno:
So glad to hear this :) I am about to get the G Pad 8.3 myself, and I have been following your progress for the last couple of days. Needless to say, first thing I am going to do is to convert it to GPE. Like the rest of the folks here, I appreciate your work immensely. Looking forward to your progress on WiFi and BT! Stay on the "safe" side with partitions this time ;)
[G Pad 8.3 General] atatek:
Can somebody explain why can't we simply overwrite the boot partition of the v500 with a v510 boot partition?

Why is it not possible?

I mean why one can't just mirror all the partitions, and data from a V510 (GPE) to a V500?

I'ts the very same hardware isn't it?
[G Pad 8.3 General] thoughtlesskyle:
Here we go, I'm going to make it super simple for you, ready?

IT'S LOCKED DOWN

Here we go buy a car but don't ask for the keys , and then buy a second car just like it and swap the interiors, but you don't have keys, so tell me why that is so hard
[G Pad 8.3 General] thoughtlesskyle:
This is excellent news
[G Pad 8.3 General] atatek:
I don't really understand what "LOCKED DOWN" really means, and why is it a problem as long as you have the hardware in your hands.

Could you explain that in a lower level please, and/or could you provide some source to read about this?

I'm a developer (but not in the mobile world) and I've just started to feel this topic interesting.

Thank you!
[G Pad 8.3 General] Mixinitup4Christ:
As I understand it, the bootloader is signed and the hardware confirms this signature before boot.
[G Pad 8.3 General] thoughtlesskyle:
Short answer is the bootloader has a signature on it put there by LG, the bootloader will only boot and/or flash something with an identical signature. Anything we do to a boot image or flash a rom has a different signature so it needs to be bypassed, as far as using the Google play edition stuff, it either is signed differently or there isn't an easy way to change the partition table
[G Pad 8.3 General] atatek:
Based on my recent searches there's a tool called loki (https://github.com/djrbliss/loki) which can override the bootloader protection and flash unsigned images. Once you passed the bootloader protection with this tool why is it hard or impossible to overwrite the bootloader partition itself?

So basically what I don't understand is why can't you rewrite the whole memory of these devices? Or the protection is flashed on a seperate chip which is not writeable?
[G Pad 8.3 General] thoughtlesskyle:
It doesn't actually override the protection, all it simply does is fakes the signature
[G Pad 8.3 General] AndroidUser00110001:
Ack... The pressure and from an iPhone user too...LOL
[G Pad 8.3 General] Jay0r:
Awesome, will you still help us to convert that pad? :)

[G Pad 8.3 General] naruto.ninjakid:
Was just curious how did you go about it. Just told lg it wont turn on ? Or did you just return in to the store ?
[G Pad 8.3 General] joshuadjohnson22:
had to be the store or he wouldn't have it yet. My guess best buy

Laughed so hard I choked on lunch and some McRib came out of my nose...

Make it 2 xD
[G Pad 8.3 General] AndroidUser00110001:
Are the McRibs back? That was my goto food back in the Droid 2 days :D

I actually purchased a new one. The Angel sitting on my shoulder beat out the devil sitting on the other side and he made me purchase a new one instead of returning something that I actually broke. Maybe I'll get it back some way, maybe I will figure out the GPE ROM issues and will get it back in donations or something...
[G Pad 8.3 General] joshuadjohnson22:
I respect you for being honest :) not many people would be
[G Pad 8.3 General] Reckoning:
Nope...found it under the seat in my pickup. Tastes the same as though...

The devil inside me is saying you should return the old g pad in the new g pads box and say it was DOA
[G Pad 8.3 General] jcagara08:
Hey hey now guys I am an android head too take a look at my sig not the iphone 5S.. Been flashing roms since S1 and CM7 baby what?! Was really planning to buy the g pad and thought about converting it to a GPE since the HTC ones were and S4 and that LG optimus G too go go androiduser0110111111!
[G Pad 8.3 General] cpanos:
It depends how you reason about it. For me, ethically, you are not to blame for bricking a device that is locked by LG even though its yours and you should be allowed to do as u please. LG decided to lock your device, not you.

It is not the same as throwing a device from 9 feet high and then asking for a replacement.

They should allow unlocking the boot loader and just void the warranty ffs. Sorry for the out of topic.
[G Pad 8.3 General] joshuadjohnson22:
They would check the serial and see that you did that
[G Pad 8.3 General] AndroidUser00110001:
I said that in jest ;)
[G Pad 8.3 General] atatek:
Any progress on the topic?
[G Pad 8.3 General] AndroidUser00110001:
Not from me...I just got my 4.2.2 setup to begin trying again to fix wifi, bt and sound.
[G Pad 8.3 General] Tung_meister:
Why is it not possible to flash the bootloader from a V510 onto the V500? I understand that the bootloader is locked but doesn't loki enable the signature check to be bypassed? I've not purchased one yet I'm just interested in what the current issues are?
[G Pad 8.3 General] AndroidUser00110001:
Purchase one and try yourself...
[G Pad 8.3 General] Tung_meister:
Thanks for the highly informative response...
[G Pad 8.3 General] joshuadjohnson22:
Did you read the pages before? This was just talked about. It is a lot more complex than just flashing over the current locked BL. If everything is not signed and perfect you will hard brick like he did. It may be done eventually but it will take a lot of work. For now just be patient and wait for a rom like the rest of us
[G Pad 8.3 General] sga999:
If you had searched the thread, you would have found some answers in posts 135-142. That's why you did not get a "highly informative response".

EDIT: Sorry, Joshua..., I didn't see your response before I wrote mine....I like what you said better!
[G Pad 8.3 General] haasgo:
If you would've red the thread you would've known that he hard bricked his pad cause it aint possible and is still in the process of finding the cause.

Dont get me wrong but if u aint bothering reading nobody is willing to give a proper answer.

And if you expect that someone explains you in detail the whole process you dont get/know what xda is about...

Still, i hope you will find a satisfying answer if this one wasnt!

Edit: double ninja'd! That was quick dudes ;)
[G Pad 8.3 General] Reckoning:
Alright...all of you, don't make me stop this bus and come back there!
[G Pad 8.3 General] AndroidUser00110001:
No problem...Any time!

I mean if you think it is so easy to do then you should try it yourself. I have already spent many hours and bricked 1 G Pad trying to do what you said.
[G Pad 8.3 General] atatek:
I've asked exactly the same. I can't see why that's so IMPOSSIBRU

I think we would be more close to the solution if somebody could get the bootloader extracted from the V500 and from the V510.

It would be possible to diff the two, maybe reverse engineer with IDA.
[G Pad 8.3 General] AndroidUser00110001:
I know this is a sill question but does the GPE have root? I know you should be able to flash supersu through recovery but does it give you SU in the OS?
[G Pad 8.3 General] seebaker:
Hey man, just wanted to say thanks for all the work you are doing with the GPad conversion, can't wait until it's complete.

I will be donating $$$$

Cheers

Was about to go to bed and [MENTION=5322084]Mixinitup4Christ[/MENTION] sent me the 4.4.2 system dump. About to flash it in a few and see what works...

Thanks Mix!!

And the same issues...

After working on it for the past 7 hours or so. 430 AM here...
[G Pad 8.3 General] joshuadjohnson22:
Ah man that sucks... Where's the easy button when you need it?
[G Pad 8.3 General] anomalous3:
If I'm not mistaken, we'd need to check out the partition mapping from the v510 GPE; my guess is it uses different sized partitions on the same NAND (if it uses different NAND it becomes much harder), once we have that, we'd need to sequentially boot into loki patched recovery, repartition the V500 to match the v510, and flash the v510 everything (sbl1/2/3 etc.) of course, this would be a great way to brick your device if not done exactly right (as we've seen).
[G Pad 8.3 General] Mixinitup4Christ:
I've got my GPE rooted, and it survived a factory reset.

----- EDIT -----

NVM, I think I misunderstood the question. No, the GPE OS did not come pre-rooted had to flash SuperSU.
[G Pad 8.3 General] stoobymcdoobie:
I was able to flash chainfire's SuperSU via TWRP like I would on any other device.
[G Pad 8.3 General] Sensamic:
Maybe it won't be completed.

Seems much more difficult than what people thought.
[G Pad 8.3 General] EdenGottlieb:
Should I buy the regular G Pad for 300 $ from Best Buy and then flash CM (or GPE rom if it will be availiable)

or just buy the GPE G Pad for 350 $ from Google Play?
[G Pad 8.3 General] solnyshok:
if I had this choice, I would have taken GPE for the peace of mind and to save me hassle of flashing custom bootloaders and ROMs. Unfortunately, GPE is not available here in my country.
[G Pad 8.3 General] EdenGottlieb:
GPE is not availabe in my country too :p

My cousin is going to send it to me.

I actually really want the hassle of flashing custom bootloaders and ROMs since this is my first android device.
[G Pad 8.3 General] AndroidUser00110001:
I think if the modem is flashed then the port may work but I am not about to brick another device.
[G Pad 8.3 General] atatek:
Is your port contains the locked LG v500 bootloader?

If it uses the locked bootloader how did you manage to boot the v510?

For the worse! All of a sudden, it's been made stronger, to sap a few more percent out of the phone. I'm really not impressed with this update. Why can't we set haptic feedback, it was fine before! The problem was the vibrate on ring is so weak.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lukas_s:
For me it was the opposite. Haptic feedback was horrendous on 4.4, but was just fine when the phone rang. Typing on the keyboard with haptics turned on was an exercise in patience, as it seemed like the motor could not keep up.

For me, it's 100% better in 4.4.2. If you're not enjoying it, turn it off, or flash a kernel that allows customization.

Hi folks,

I just got this phone yesterday (LG G2) and I enjoy the wifi calling since i don't get any service in my area. I want to root my phone so i can throw some roms on there but I have two questions:

1. when I put on a custom rom, will wifi calling still work?

2. I have unlimited 4g LTE. the T-Mobile sales rep say that I have 2.5gb dedicated to tethering. Will the custom rom ignore that 2.5gb limit?

Thanks

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Elim:
As every pre-installed App: /system/app/. And the app name is SecPhone.apk.

The problem is that every app can define conditions and so also here the app define only be startable with a gsm. Therefore I think you will need root rights. But maybe someone here found a trick.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] funfun99999:
My tablet is rooted. Yes i know that SecPhone.apk is in system apps . my question how to have it appears in apps drawer.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] og.blaah:
Here is the shortcut i found.

Install Nova launcher.

Open up apps, then widgets, you will see a widget called "activities" long press that.

A menu will open up, scroll down to contacts, and tap that.

Scroll down to phone, you will see the phone icon, tap phone icon.

Now you have the phone dial pad on your homescreen to enter into *#0 menu.

It will not show up on the app drawer,just homescreen as a widget.

[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbbreaker:
I need to some help with making sure I am going the right way.

I've got a Razr HD - XT925 on the ROGERS/FIDO network.

The phone is rooted and I wanted to install Cyanogenmod on it. I used to have it on a Motorola Milestone and loved it. I would love to install Cyanogenmod on this phone as I liked the way you could tweak the phone more.

Android version is 4.1.2

Baseband - VANQUISH_U_BP_100700.220.65.33P

BUILD NUMBER - 9.8.2Q-8-XT925_VQL-12.2

SYSTEM VERSION - 98.21.12202.XT925.RCI.en.CA

Now I've had root for awhile now and ready to take the plunge. Here are the steps I think I should take.

1. Unlock with Motopocalyspe.

2. Install TWRP

3. Add Cyanogenmod img to SD Card.

4. Boot into recovery and install img file?

Given the type of phone I have will these steps be fine? I'd appreciate the help to know at least I am in the right direction. Thanks in advance!

Well since this was a question and answer forum on Razr HD I thought it would be helpful if anyone else had any experience with this phone version and if any hiccups occured. So I would know what to expect. Obviously I could just try and see what happens as you say but given that I would be voiding my warrenty when I do unlock, I just wanted to hear from others with this phone. Also from reading some posts on these forums I wouldn't say unlocking is without some risks as you say. But thanks for your insightful and helpful comment.

[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbbreaker:
Hey

Yeah I used motochopper to root my phone. Didn't have any problems with that. I then tried motocopolyspe to unlock the phone and it went without a hitch. Motopocolypse does exactly what the official website would do. I was relieved that it was so painless. And the phone is working like a charm. No problems! I then installed TWRP. Didn't really have any problems with that other then getting a message that the image file was invalid. When I investigated the problem more I found for some reason the image file was not complete so I redownloaded it and it worked after that. I now have Cyanogenmod running on the phone since Saturday and so far things are running great and no crashes or resets! Going to play around it it more and let you know. Let me know if you need any help with the steps I took. So you have exactly same phone? On the Fido network?
