I'm working on a flashable zip to save others the hassle I had to go through to flash the KDZ (lots! some of it probably my fault for making mistakes, but anyway...).

I have extracted the KDZ using this. At the moment I'm flashing the system, boot and radio partitions. Does anyone know what all the other partitions do and whether I should make my zip flash them? Because I've already flashed the V50020a KDZ I can't tell whether the others are necessary without flashing back to 4.2.2 and flashing my zip over that - which I can't be bothered to do because it involves a KDZ ;)
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Moe5508:
Sorry can't help other than to test your flashable but this is great news! Flashing a KDZ is one of the worst pains I ever had to go through...almost thought I'd bricked my device...but thankfully I had a nandroid backup...Keeping an eye on this...

What other partitions are there?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] frankoid:
These are all the partitions in the KDZ:

aboot
boot
modem
persist
recovery
rpm
sbl1
sbl2
sbl3
system
tz
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] aicjofs:
Let id10terror answer because I am working completely from memory but I believe in the flashable v18 he used boot, modem, persist, tz, system images and then broke out a portion of userdata into files not images. Also the v18 had misc in the kdz I was thinking(which wasn't used).

Step 3 worked for me after installting the German 4.4.2 Stock Rom.

Before I got into fastboot if I wanted to reboot into recovery.

I know I asked this before, but I'm not sure with the German Build (If that is any different).

If I do a clean Factory Reset in TWRP (Wipes Data, Cacha and Dalvik (not including internal storage)) and reboot after.

Then I still have TWRP and root?

Because I know I need to set up the device with the installing assistant after the factory reset(Like I bought the tablet).

But I don't need to install TWRP and root again?

(Only when I download the Rom again with the LGMobileTool)
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] id10terror:
Correct, you wont lose root or TWRP with a factory reset. Only if you reflash from LG Mobile Support Tool.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Pixore:
I can't install TWRP...

Make sure you dont have USB plugged in when booting to recovery, it will cause a boot loop. TWRP probably needs to be adjusted and recompiled for these new builds as the one currently used by everyone was made for v50010a build. It works but has a couple bugs.

TWRP works but when I boot in recovery, I am blocked approximately ten seconds in the LG Logo, with very low brightness.

So when I boot with a custom ROM, I am blocked approximately ten seconds in the LG Logo, with very low brightness.

Why?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Subtleone:
It would be more helpful if you said what you did. Were you in Download mode?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Motawa88:
yes

i did so many things i cant even remember...

tried this guide again now and it says "please update R&D Tool"

[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Subtleone:
You will get that error if you forget to close the LG Mobile Suite and copy the files to \ProgramData\LGMobileEAX
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Motawa88:
i did that like 10 times now. Still getting that error.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Subtleone:
The method works, so somewhere along the line you missed a step.

Try following all the written instructions step by step,

as if you were starting from zero

. Be sure to download the three files, and be sure to unzip Automatic_Offline_Procedure.zip last, overwriting the files you unzipped from LG_KDZ_FW-Update_OfflineFix.zip
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Motawa88:
I tried it with every guide i could find.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Zeljko1234:
May I ask you why do you insist to flash kdz? If you are still on JB it's better and probably easier to root, flash custom recovery and then flash KK.

Sorry if I missed something.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Subtleone:
Look, the instructions in that link work. There is absolutely no question about it. The only things that can go wrong, and are not perfectly well explained, are

1) installing the updated VBS correctly to overwrite the older VBS,

2) and of course missing a step somewhere.

Since it works for everyone and every machine, if I were you, I would stop assuming you are that one terrible exception, and instead presume you had made a mistake somehow. Erase the files, start from scratch. Get the three files, unzip them correctly (as I explained above), follow the steps one at a time in the written post, no hurry.

For the record, I got that R&D mistake, and it was because I had failed to copy the EAX files just before. They had been overwritten by LG's update process after. Copying them, in the order of the instructions, solved this.

My device shiped with 4.4.2 and when i install cm11 rom my brightnes goes down for no reason randomly. Auto brightnes is of course off
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Subtleone:

[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Motawa88:
yes. As I mentioned the brightnes problem on cm 11/Aopk some dude said its because i came from 4.4.2 stock
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Zeljko1234:
If you have custom recovery, flash rom from it.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Motawa88:
what rom?

For example this one, has better picture quality (gamma about 2.2/2.3)

[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Zeljko1234:
How did it work if you don't have twrp? If you had it, it's still there after flashing rom :)

Anyway, the easiest way to flash recovery is flashify. Can be used for reboot into recovery, kernel and recovery backup, etc. Just don't flash wrong recovery:D
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] deadpunk:
I tried Flashify this morning on my rooted gpad v500 on 4.4.2 with build V50020a and it didnt work.

Did it worked on yours while running kitkat ?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Zeljko1234:
Do you have TWRP, any custom recovery or not? What exactly do you mean with flashify didn't work? Flashing new TWRP or rebooting into TWRP?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] AdThiago:
STEP 3:

Install loki-exploitable ABOOT and TWRP

Download and Extract: V50020_aboot_twrp_v2.zip

Run file: runme.bat

Does it work for firmware V50018a?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] naski666:
Not for me, after rooting with ioroot25, following the script the flag to check the version causes it to fail with the error

DEVICE CHECK FAILED!!

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

Script will now exit to avoid damage to your device!!!

Will it break my device if i look at what the .bat is doing and remove the safety check??

V50020a assist?

Hope the OP is still active b/c I could use those detailed instructions...

I have the following:

LG GPad - V50020a...

Rooted w/ towelroot.apk

Recovery installed w/ Flashify

Trying to reboot into TWRP gives ==>>> Secure booting error! Cause : boot certification verify

Questions:

*If I unlock bootloader will I be able to boot into TWRP recovery?

*Is the locked bootloader actually preventing me from having a soft brick?

*Can V50020a (4.4.2) actually have a custom recovery/rom?

NB, through searching and reading, I've come across one person claiming to have TWRP working on 4.4.2 V50020a. (No guide/instructions were provided though)

Also, there doesn't look like any roms are available for my version...

*If there aren't any roms etc. for my variant, there probably isn't much point going to all this trouble.

*If it can be done, how to down grade from current scenario?

Any help please?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] vedko:
take this as a guess, as I haven't been using XP for long time... for some reasons between heaven and earth, your computer starts adb daemon correctly but later cannot find the application. First check the script if the path to the adb that starts the daemon is the same throughout the whole script (my guess it is). If so, copy (not move) the adb.exe to the c:/windows/system32 directory, including all .dll files. This is the directory where windows looks for the commands.

About to get crazy...

Hello everyone

I am posting here as I definitively ran out of ideas... All I am trying to do is to simply installa a custom recovery to install a new rom on my Gpad 4.4.2 build KOT491v50020d. I tried almost everything I could think of, including the step 3 at the beginning of this thread, using flashify, using some other tools that I don't even remember the name... None of them worked! I was just able to break the factory recovery and managed to restore it with the LG Mobile tool. After that, I got completely stuck. Using the method described at step 3 here seemed to work (i changed the model number as suggested to 500d), the script runs fine, it tells me it finishes, it restarts the device and then go back to the Android normal screen. Tried both with cable plugged and unplugged, no success. What else I can try? Can you help me? Thanks a lot to whoever will find me a way to get out !!! :)

Problem to unlock bootloader

excuse my English wrong, I'm trying to unlock the LG G Pad 8.3 bootloader and I'm not succeeding. always of this error.

Can someone help me please? :crying::crying:
[General Questions and Answers] glenroebuck:
I bought an HTC ONE from swappa. The seller has sold one other item, an iphone 5s. He listed it in great condition but that was it. It was 260 bucks, I had good experience with Swappa so I bought it. When it arrived it was not stock, the boot loader was unlocked and it was running Revolution HD, would not connect to google services and was spotty on the data connection working.

I messaged the seller and he claimed not to know anything about rooting, or putting on a different rom etc, so I asked him if he was the original owner. He replied no he bought it about two weeks ago (I had bought it on 3/22). So as I was digging on the phone to try and figure out what was going on I saw files in the sd card in download - from 3/5 3/15/319.3/21 and so on. He also had pictures dated up to the 21st, and I found the zip for revolution dated the 15th.

I aslo found a downloaded doc for a insurance claim on cell phones..which set off a red flag. I contacted Swappa and told them these things and they thought it was concerning that he seemed not to know anything about flashing etc.

He replied in my sales thread to swappa that he could not believe they would just take my word for it that how do they know I am not lying about it..

SO..in the same sales thread i posted screenshots as proof, since he left screenshots of the phone on it..

http://imgur.com/NWO5yZ6

http://imgur.com/4LfQO5y

http://imgur.com/6CPau3C

You can see then above...and he still insists he knows nothing about it and then went off about me and the staff siding with me and I ruined his first sales experience and on an on but still insisting he knows nothing about rooting and images and roms

at this point I don't know...I am afraid he is going to file some sort of lost or stolen phone claim and screw me. His insisting he knows nothing about roms etc even though there are files on the phone up to the day before he shipped it to me..or do I just accept he got caught in a lie and keep the phone...

any opinions?

We've implemented several 8125 phones in our office and they are all experiencing the same intermittent problem. Multiple times a call would come in and after you pick up, there is only dead air on the other end.

I'd like to get rid our blackberrys and move to a direct push solution but all my users are crying about this issue.

you might want to search around a bit and see if you can narrow it down to something besides pushmail, or perhaps try a different rom to see if it is in fact somehow pushmail.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] xlr8d:
Actually the problem is a little different. The calls aren't being dropped after the voice connection is made. It happens before the connection when there is an incomming call and the phone is tring to switch from the directpush datastream over to voice. When you answer the phone, there is only dead air on the other end. I had this happen to me twice last night. I think the problem is with cingular's network not properly handing over the call to the phone after the phone is able to accept the call. If you call your cell phone while you are syncing or downloading something you can actually hear this switch over take place from another phone. The first 3 or 4 rings are just happening on the cingular end and not even reaching the phone. You'll hear a click (this is where the actual switch over takes place) and the rings will sound quiter and will actually be contacting the cell phone. Even though direct push isn't "always on" and only syncs on changes, I think it's intrusive enough to disrupt the voice capability of these phones. Note, we are all running stock cingular 2.25 roms. As far as I know, this rom has only been available since June 19th so I doubt there are a lot of people running this in an enterprise email environment (unless people out there are using hacked roms in the workplace). Whether this is a cingular/htc/microsoft problem is unclear, but I'm not sure this product is ready for business use.
