I'm having some big trouble with my VK810. I rooted it, then tried to install CWM and that didn't work well. I rebooted and am now getting a Secure booting Error! Cause: boot certification verify. I can get into stock recovery, but after selecting an option that error shows up and nothing happens. I can boot into download mode(hold vol up and plug in) but LG Mobile Tool will not read my device. I have the proper drivers installed. The tablet shows up on my computer(win7) as unspecified. I troubleshoot and it finds the problems are 'CDC Serial doesn't have a driver' and 'LGE Android Phones doesn't have a driver'. I'm perplexed because I download and install the exact drivers that the guides I look at tell me to. Thanks guys!

-edit The answer was in the post above me haha. Needed the Verizon drivers as well.

[G Pad 8.3 General] thangnh:
This method has always been my savior whenever I messed up with my V500 when playing around with ROMs. It used to restore my tablet back to 4.2.2 with an exploitable boot image. However, as of yesterday, it restored back to 4.4.2 which is inexploitable (not a loki vulnerable aboot). I ended up stuck with a rooted stock ROM without a chance to try interesting Lolilop ROMs out there.

It would be highly appreciated if someone can help advising a way to solve this problem. Thank you.

Nothing to update?

the other night I received and error while installing the 5.1 update. I had rooted my V510, but kept stock recover with and unlocked bootloader. I assumed I was fine going into the OTA, but obviously not. My tablet boots fine, but's it's still showing Version 5.0. I get the update message to upgrade to 5.1, but after it downloads and says its going to install, the screen flickers once and it says my system is up to date. Yet, the version's still listed as 5.0

I tried using the tool above and it recognized my device, but when I select "Upgrade Recover" it just says I have the latest updates and stops. Any thoughts on how to force this? I have no issues wiping everything and starting fresh. I actually did a factory reset (through Settings, not recovery) and no luck getting 5.1 to stick.

any help is always appreciated.

The problem I am having with this program is that it stops working when it starts to flash the Tab.... Have reinstalled windows 10 tried it on windows 7. Plus my tablet is stuck in Download Mode... I can figure out how to take it apart to unplug the battery... :(
[G Pad 8.3 General] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Which variant of the G Pad 8.3 do you have? VK810, V500 or V510? Using the original USB cable and plugged into a USB 2.0 port on the PC? Tried rebooting the PC after installing the drivers? Checked in Device Manager after plugging the tablet in, in Download mode, in the Modem section of Device Manager to see that the driver actually is loaded? It can take up to 10 minutes for it to load the driver the first time you have it plugged into a different USB port.

As far as being stuck in Download mode, pressing the power button for 10-30 seconds should turn the tablet off no matter what mode it's in.
[G Pad 8.3 General] weltall2:
LG G Pad 7.0 V400

I feel all happy for sure.. Thank you so much for sharing this. It saved the tablet and me from telling the person that owns it, that I killed it.. This worked like a charm for sure. For me my tab was stuck in a bootloop to the vanilla recovery mode. It happened after I used Flashify to restore the stock recovery mode. I guess the phone did not like that..

Just some advice, just in case it might help.

1) For my tab to get in download move I had to hold down only the volume up button. If I held both volume buttons, it would just go in it's normal bootloop in recovery mode, but the recovery mode (laying down android with a red triangle over it) would not work like it normally would. If holding both buttons does not work for you, try one.

2) Do not use the drivers that the program directs you to. My first mistake was to download my drivers from it. After I downloaded them from the LG site, the tablet connected normally on the pc.

3) Like it is mentioned, even if the LG Mobile support tool says connect to server / try again later, this happens if you pay attention when the download reaches 100%. If you look at your tab it is actually installing the downloaded rom, no matter what the tool says. I am not sure if it is safe to remove the tablet after the process finishes (on the tablet), but I waited because the tool was around 80% when the tablet finished and then after it booted, it kept working. After the tool finished and reaches 100%, it just says it is done and I closed it.

Thank you so much and of course everyone that contributes and helps in here, since I read through a lot of helpful comments too. God bless and best wishes :)

[G Pad 8.3 General] roirraW "edor" ehT:
First, you should ignore the connection to server error dialog. Don't press a button in it, just move it out of your way of you must. Within 10-20 minutes you'll find your tablet has finished flashing.

You can long press the power button (maybe 10 seconds?) to force the device off.
[G Pad 8.3 General] emmagata:
I think I'm in a unique place. Not entirely bricked dead but won't take a firmware load. I've had lots of issues with my Gpad 8.3 with the OS crashing to the point of needing a restore (via the LG mobile tool or TWRP) which always worked until the last time. At that time I installed TWRP 3.0. Right now I can get into download mode and it only boots to fastboot mode. If I issue the command "fastboot -w", it says it can't write to the partitions. If I "fastboot boot boot.img" it will boot up into the start up (asking for country etc) but the touch screen doesn't respond. It does know that the tablet rotates and will rotate the screen. It knows when the power is applied (by the charge indicator and a vibration). It responds to the volume buttons (and makes a sound).

In fastboot mode "fastboot devices" returns a "?".

Initially that's the only fastboot command that worked. Then all of a sudden (probably after trying every firmware load method I could find) it would accept "fastboot boot recovery.img (either factory or TWRP). Factory responds to the buttons but TWRP does not respond to the touch screen. At this point the device is in recovery mode when issuing "adb devices" and it also returns the device serial number.

It seems to take the root via adb sideload (kk_root.zip).

When in recovery mode I can shell into the device and "poke around". I've tried to push the system files to their respective locations but they disappear when I reboot.

I'm about to throw in the towel (I like a challenge but this is nuts...). Any ideas?

EDIT TO ADD... I just tried "adb backup -apk -shared -all -f C:\Users\NAME\backup.ab" to see what would happen and I get "Now unlock your device and confirm the backup operation." - I thought my device was already unlocked. When I issue the "fastboot oem unlock" it returns success.
[G Pad 8.3 General] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I'm guessing you have the V500 variant since most people do - I have the VK810 so I can't help you as much as some others but just wanted to say since you can get into TWRP, a "bootstack" in the form of a flashable zip would be able to be made out of the partition .img files extracted from a KDZ or TOT made for your device.

Preferably, though, if you can get into Download mode, you should just flash a KDZ or TOT (TOTs are better because they flash more partitions than KDZs) made for your variant. Pick a KDZ or TOT that's easy to root and install TWRP, then flash a known good ROM if you want.

Good luck!

For the first time in all years I own tablet it was bricked trying to install MM. Original instructions didn't work (something like "no files to upgrade"), so I gave chance and followed your instructions.

I had no idea how much battery left, but was below 55%. Alltogether took less than 25 minutes (download cca. 1.2Gb kdz file + flashing) and I ended up with working 4.4.2 (version F) and about 12% battery. Nevertheless, immediatelly rooted and now rocking MM from here http://xdaforums.com/lg-g-pad-83/development/rom-android-6-0-marshmallow-20151028-t3235794/page107 -- had no problem flashing this time :laugh:

Hi,

I tried to update my official rom to unofficial by Cyanomogen,all the process must be succsesfull ,but I can't start my tablet anymore,all buttons dead,even download and recovery mode.

Battery is full.

Anyone with any idea how to return it back to life?

Thanks
[G Pad 8.3 General] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Does the tablet still show up in Windows' Device Manager as an "LGE" device under both the Modem and Port sections? If so, you can probably flash a TOT or KDZ made for the V500 to recover. Don't flash one made for anything other than a V500. Or does it show up as QHSUSB_BULK 9008 mode? If so, Google that term and you'll find different recovery instructions. You'll still need a TOT file for recovery from that.
[G Pad 8.3 General] marjanm:
Installed drivers,LG update tool and all possible app,but not recognize my tablet...no device in windows device manager
[G Pad 8.3 General] roirraW "edor" ehT:
If it doesn't show up in either the Modem or Port section, then there's nothing that can be done in my experience. I know there are ways of trying to "force" Android devices into QHSUSB_BULK 9008 mode by shorting a couple of pins inside the device, but you'd have to find directions specific to your particular device - I've never actually done it, only seen the directions and screenshots for other devices.

[SOLVED] Bootlooped.

I'm facing exactly the same problem. --> SOLVED! See EDIT section below...

Was running [THREAD="3026647"]Deltadroid CM12[/THREAD] and rebooted after some update only to get stuck in a bootloop.

Reflashed the ROM and reset the device and all seemed to work well for about a week. And then the bootloop returned for good. And now, I can't get into recovery with any key sequence...

Have already performed the procedure in OP with 99% success (the unsuccessful part is right at the end, when my computer fails to install the "LGE Android MTP device", caused in my opinion by the fact that the device isn't booting into the OS).

Any pointers or clues appreciated... :confused:

-----

EDIT: OP already stated that if you're still stuck in a bootloop after this procedure, you need to hard reset your device.

Problem is, the button press sequence to bring this up isn't trivial. Was going to try reflashing a KDZ, but finally managed to bring up the hard reset prompt after following the button press instructions at "[Tutorial][KDZ][LP][V500]Korean v30A How to Flash KDZ" thread (https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3076576) so I'll just quote them here... :D

So, now at least I'm back on KitKat...

As stated above, you could use juice defender which you can configure to do that. However, juice defender is not a lightweight app, and imho you don't want that running all the time in the background. You could try 'better wifi on off', all it does is turn wifi off when the screen is off.

Any chance at all (if possible from a technical standpoint) that we'll get a bamboo back cover? Also, will Motorola allow 3rd party manufacturers to produce their own backs? There are a lot of neat possibilities with the back covers that go well above and beyond the current offerings.
[Moto G Accessories] eboIa:
I don't think that official will be anytime available. Moto X is their premium phone and the bamboo back is also a premium accessory. Moto G is a budget device and the half of device price bamboo back wouldn't be to logic for anybody.

3rd party could be (in case also not to logic) but for this just the time will bring the answer.

I'm sure the chinese will think of something eventually, but right now its a firm no. Doesnt matter how long you bully motorola, the wont release a premium case for a budget phone.
[Moto G Accessories] ikillechewbacca:
Well...technically the designs that "could" be available are absolutely endless. Ebay and various other online retailers sell vinyl with numerous designs. I actually even found bamboo vinyl as well. Just take the stock back shell off and put the vinyl on. Use a hair dryer/heat gun on low to get all the wrinkles out (I doubt there would even be wrinkles). Then, take a sewing needle and poke holes in the vinyl that would be covering up the speaker grille. It would come out looking very nice. I have done it to many different phones (not the moto g yet though).
