I couldn't find a tot file for 4.2.2, with that it would be the same method as in the OP just with that tot file. Jessooca says she has one somewhere. The flash tool seems to want a .tot or .dz, but not a kdz. I have the .kdz and .dz for 4.2.2, so it would likely work too but I didn't try it in flash tool. Again just use the .dz the same as .tot in the OP.

What I did at the time was use LG support tool, use recovery install, entered v500 and serial number, and let it download and flash. Really easy.

The latter might be the easiest, use LG's bandwidth to download since we are beta testing for them ;) haha.

There is also the option to dd the boot chain. i.e. aboot, sbl1,2,3. That would be quick and painless but someone would have to try it first.(have to loki boot and recovery first and not make a mistake, I think flashing the whole package is safest)
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] id10terror:
I'm going to open a new thread shortly. I feel it's stable and everything is working smoothly. :good:

Only issue i've seen so far is booting into TWRP while usb cable is connected... For some reason it sends it into a boot loop, but disconnecting usb cable lets it enter recovery and then it works with no issues. So, I'm assuming that this is something specific to TWRP and someone might need to look at it and recompile a version to fix that minor issue (non-issue for me really).

So I successfully restored the 4.2.2 firmware using the LG mobile support tool. Now my question for anyone that may know is: where is the full file the tool just downloaded and flashed? Does LG only allow it to download and flash, then it erases it? I was hoping to save it incase I need it again.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] aicjofs:
Doesnt seem like it transferred chattr. Shouldnt effect the rooting though.

Program data/lg electronics? Should be a dz and dll
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] annoyingduck:
Checked all that, nothing! Any recommendation for what to type in for a hard drive search? I am assuming the file is here, or is it possible its deleted after the flash?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Zeljko1234:
Try to find it after download and before or during flashing then copy to safe location.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] st@@tz:
Full data erase

i just thought, that this install will "just" wipe the system but its not.

it really wipes all internal storage, so if u decide to backup something before, do it on external storage!!
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] 3ig:
I have the same problem with the rooting zip. It's says it's all fine and finished. The SuperSU app is there, but when i open it it fails with a "SU binary not installed" or something.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] redcrash:
Thank you for the heads-up! I guess that it is normal because of the major upgrade... although I assume that it won't happen when the upgrade is available through OTA.

I'm considering to move from CM11 to this version because I'm having some wifi issues with CM11 at home (not at work, where it works flawlessly). Can anyone comment whether wifi is fully functional? In particular, in CM11 I observe that wifi connection is damn slow whereas the original stock on top of android 4.2 was fine.

Could you please give some directions on how to downgrade that way? I'm new to the G pad and have zero experience with LG software
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] spsantos:
Hello mates.

I am tempted to make this update but i don´t have experience and have some doubts.

1- I understand the explanation of the firs post but have a basic doubt. In the first step. Where i can get the the drivers.

2- Where i can activate the debugging mode.

Now, just 2 questions about this new 4.4.2.

Did this rom solve the gamma values and the 7 leds spot on the bottom problems?

Many thanks for the patience you have.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Mercvtio:
Can't help you with the install procedure, as I flashed the zip version in order to keep my twrp recovery.

Now, I'm not so sure about the gamma issue, but then again, I was running BOB kernel before the update, with a possible gamma correction, so that might be the reason I'm not noticing any change.

As for the 7 leds backlight issue, it is now sorted. With the lowest brightness setting, Ijust can't see anything at the bottom (and god knows I could befoire the update...)
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] redcrash:
Hello,

1) drivers can be downloaded from

http://www.lg.com/us/support-mobile/lg-V500-Black

2) to enable debug mode, just follow the instructions from

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16707137/how-to-find-and-turn-on-usb-debugging-mode-on-nexus-4

I can't tell about the bleeding leds... I still considering to install this rom :)

Regards.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Mercvtio:
Well, as said earlier, I can vow the bleeding leds are fixed. Still have a bit of it, but it's a real improvement on my end (then again, the bleeding was huge on my device, so...)

HI guys,

just wondering:

I am using a EU LG-V500 with root by kingo.

1. Should I install TWRP and then flash the .zip file to get the new 4.4.2 ?

Or just flash it the other way?

2. Is this really the real deal ? Not some homemade stuff?

[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] joshuadjohnson22:
1. Flash the one from here in TWRP. You will be able to keep Loki and keep you custom recovery. If you flash the one in this thread you will lose Loki and custom recovery until you downgrade and do it the other way. I wish I did that method but it was not an option at the time. I am waiting for a good guide to get me back to 4.2.2 (I know there are some rough ones out there but I'm hoping for something like on the OP) so I can do the TWRP version.

2. Yes this is the real deal, it is solid and a good build. It may be a prerelease version but you can not tell by using it.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] redcrash:

Download LG support Tool.

Choose Recovery upgrade.

Type in model and serial number. After Flash u have to make a factory reset.

Now u are back on stock 4.2.2

[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] azcamm27:
Thanks thats what i thought just didnt know if i had to do anything else to get back to stock.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] muiriddin:
As a tag on the support tool post above, this is what I did to get back to stock as well. I did this procedure assuming I would lose everything except for what was on my external storage card, so if you have anything precious on the tablet back it up before doing this...

1. Put the tablet into download mode, and run the LG support tool (this is not the tool that came in the cd in the box, this is something that you need to download. The all things V500 thread in general has a link)

1.5 If you are using windows, it may install drivers once you plug the download mode tablet in, let windows do its thing and get the proper drivers installed before using the LG support tool...

2. Choose Recovery upgrade in tool

3. Type in model (from box LG-V500 if I recall) and serial number (from box)

3.5 double check that you typed it all correct...

4. Go get your favorite beverage, the download takes a while...

5. When it finally finishes it reboots the tablet, mine was then in a boot loop

6. Turn off the tablet, boot it up holding the keys to factory reset and perform a factory reset.

7. Luxuriate in the wonderful stock LG non-rooted goodness!

(laughs, for about 5 seconds until you decide to crack flash it to something else of course)

Any questions I'll be happy to help

[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] muiriddin:
interesting, does the screen on the tablet say download mode once you plug it in? Mine said waiting for connection, I would then with the tablet off push and hold both volume up and volume down, then insert the cable, download mode appears on the screen and the software connects.

I'm assuming you see either download mode appear on the screen and no connection, or you do not see download mode appear on the screen?

As far as I know, Kitkat as NO support for flash in most if not every browsers.

Is it necessary root acess to flash this ROM?

Is there any release date for the official launch of this rom in europe?

Now change the port # to 41, save and close out device manager.
