[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Natakranta:
If you are using twrp then in wipe tab go to advanced and choose data, system, cache and dalvik. That's what i did. Then flash the LG rom.

As you wiped data your apps will be restored from play store. It would be wise to make backups with titanium and saved them on your PC so you can restore some/all user app data. Don't restore any system data.

So having 4.2.2 bootloader back on my device I'm restoring nandroid of my last clean flash which was SlimKat 4.8. Then I'll flash 4.9 over it to have access to sd card until tomorrow when I'll clean flash incoming SlimKat 5.0

I'm a Slim man as you can see from my signature.

[MENTION=4557482]Drgravy[/MENTION], this 4.2.2 flashable zip is a life saver for those who like me experimented with LG 4.4.2 but want to come back to 4.2.2 bootloader to get rid of the dimming. Thank you so much!

Since now I'm going to call you Profesor Gravy :D
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Drgravy:
all that means is you get to keep your data/media

Ex. photos,music and such

if you dont do a factory reset you will probably end up in a boot loop

HAHA be sure to thank [MENTION=3210378]id10terror[/MENTION] also this is based on his flashable roms

anyways glad it helped you out;)

[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] El Montezuma:
I'm currently on Cm11 coming from 4.4.2 stock with brightness issue...

If I do a nandroid backup first of my current CM11, then I flash this one to go back to 4.2 and then restore my CM11 nandroid backup, will it work?

As far as I understood, the brightness issue is just bootloader related, so I don't know if my nandroid backup will erase the bootloader or not...
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Natakranta:
Nandroid never backs up bootloader. So it should work as good for your CM as it worked for my SlimKat.

Though there is now easier method. See this thread:

[HOWTO][V500] Flashable zips to change between 4.2.2 and 4.4.2 Base and flash 4.2.2 base.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] El Montezuma:
Great! Sounds good, will try it.

Many thanks ;)
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] El Montezuma:
Ok, just to confirm that it works.

My tab was on 4.4.2 out of the box. I install CM11 directly without reading a little (my mistake), and I discover brightness dimmer issue... I play with Lux to try to find a solution during a week but no success...

So, the solution is to revert back to 4.2.2 stock (or to a rom based on 4.2.2 stock) to install the correct bootloader and then restore your 4.4.2 Nandroid backup.

Here the steps:

-Nandroid backup of your tab

-Titanium backup (in case of, double protection)

-Copy the zip into the internal memory of the tab

-Reboot in recovery mode

-Do a factory reset (wipe system, cache, data (except data/media))

-Flash the zip

-Wipe dalvik/cache (not mandatory but...)

-Reboot into recovery mode FROM recovery (do not reboot system at this point)

-Restore your Nandroid backup

-Reboot system

-Enjoy ;)

Cheers

its flashing for about 3 hours now and is still going on.. was that meant with to be patient or is there something wrong? Having brightness issues on CM rom and have 4.4.2 base... that's why im trying to flash this.

[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] NexusPenguin:
Hi,

The OP is nice... but the problem when you want to downgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.2.2 is that in 4.4.2 it's difficult to boot into recovery.

And I'm looking for a way to root, unlock and install a recovery on my LG G Pad 8.3 with FW 1020D installed.

I am able to root it, that's not a problem.

But when I install a Recovery using Flashify and then reboot, I end up with a LG screen with two lines at the top saying that boot is void because of security check failure.

Isn't there a simple way to flash this beast ?

And why on earth are those stupid bast@ards at LG forcing us to use their stupid, inefficient and BUGGY software ?

Regards.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Shiggity:
I've been flashing this to my GPad, and it keeps booting into TWRP, and ONLY TWRP. I sold my GPad on eBay, and I need to ship it out soon since the buyer paid, and I'm sure he'd want it in hand sooner rather than later. What am I doing wrong? I'm in process of trying this again, but I dunno if it'll matter since it failed twice already....

Suggestions?

EDIT: Also if there's a way to relock the bootloader and unroot that'd be great too. Thanks.

EDIT 2: I know that you can use the LG Mobile Support Tool but it needs a native (apparently won't work in a VM too well) Windows install, of which I do not have at the moment. Is there a way to do it on Mac OS X 10.9?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Natakranta:
It worked for me few moths ago when I needed to come back to 4.2.2 base to get rid of dimming bug on AOSP KitKat ROMs.

Did you wipe in TWRP cache, data, system, dalvik? All 4 of them need to be wiped/formatted. Do it in TWRP Wipe: Advanced menu.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Shiggity:
Okay I'll try that, but yeah. Not having any high hopes.

---------- Post added at 07:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:55 PM ----------

@ Natakranta: nope. Still only boots to TWRP.

---------- Post added at 07:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:12 PM ----------

It's imminent that I have this tablet working since the person paid, and I don't know if he's tech savvy enough to flash a different ROM if I was to put an AOSP/AOKP ROM onto it....

Someone please help.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Natakranta:
Maybe there's something wrong with your recovery.

Download TWRP 2710 zip and flash it in recovery. Them reboot recovery. Try flashing stock ROM again.

Maybe it will work.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Shiggity:
Thanks for the suggestion... I ended up somehow getting the stupid/buggy as hell LGMobile Support Tool method working via my Windows XP SP3 VM (I think it was all having to with the driver), and I was able to restore the tablet to 100% bootloader locked, unrooted 4.4.2 Stock with Optimus UI, stock recovery etc.

[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Natakranta:
Great news! Could you link the tool? I put my v500 on sale 2 weeks ago. In case buyer doesn't want hacked bootloader and custom recovery and custom ROM, I'll need to return full stock. Do you know if the tool works on Windows 7?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Shiggity:
I think so. Sure let me shove it up on my DropBox.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/a9dpwv5vn29cxsb/B2CAppSetup.rar?dl=0

Let me know if that doesn't work and I'll attach it here instead.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Natakranta:
Thanks! Could you link XDA thread with instructions how to proceed?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Shiggity:
It's quite simple really...

1. Hold down Vol Up and Vol Down at the same time, and then plug it in via USB to the computer. On the GPad screen you should see "Download Mode" and a warning to not unplug it or stuff could get damaged.

2. Load up the LG Mobile Support Tool and if it doesn't start to connect to the tablet click on "Install USB Drivers" and it'll install the appropriate drivers for the GPad, and then it should connect. After that happens click "Start Upgrade" or you can go up to the "Options" menu and select "Upgrade Recovery". Either of those should initiate the process that revery the GPad to 100% factory condition. Depending on what FW the tablet is on will determine what button/menu item you'll need to select, but again either should work.

3. ....?

4. Profit?

Haha.. Good luck. Let me know if any of that is unclear. :)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
I'm sorry, this is bad advice, or at best, incomplete. You can't just install Gapps via zip like that on a stock rom with stock recovery on a random off brand phone. You could uninstall the apps with issues while rooted, reboot, then install the ones you need manually with a root permissive file explorer and set permissions correctly. However, without a custom recovery and a nandroid backup or knowing how to reload the stock OS if needed, is not advised.

What does this thread even mean?

Trickle charging has been around for years. All it means is that once a device is charged to 100%, the charger will allow the device to discharge a tiny bit, then will top it off that tiny bit, and then rinse and repeat. Obviously it's effective because if your phone charges to 100%, you don't have to unplug it immediately. You can just leave it on the charger and it will stay at 100%.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joannn:
Trickle charging

A trickle charge is a charge at a very low current.

Trickle charging is when the battery is charged at a low rate. It's actually the best way to charge a battery although it takes longer.SO ITS 100% EFFECTIVE & REAL:good:

this might be a lil silly..but im gonna ask it anyways

i have noticed that the radio on the inspire is really good. the htc one x not as good..

the baseband on the one x i have now is 1.35a.32.45.27_10.144

and the inspires is

12.69a etc.

is it feasible to flash a radio like the one on the inspire to the one x?

:)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
That all depends on if you would like to transform your phone from an awesome device into something you could use to hold documents down on your desk.

Surely you're aware that flashing a radio/kernel/ROM from another device is going to brick your phone?

We have plenty of radios available in our Evita radio thread.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
I don't think you're understanding what a radio actually is. Are you talking about a radio that you would listen to music through? If so, that is not what anyone is referring to when taking about an Android radio. A radio (in Android terms) is the firmware(s) that controls all wireless activity on the device, so that's your cell connection, Bluetooth, WiFi, NFC, etc.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] chrisb906:
Oh. I was actually thinking the baseband is what makes the calls more clear. I thought baseband represented the radio. Not asking about a radio app. Lol
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Ok. In a way I suppose it can make the calls more clear, in the sense that if the radio performs well you will have a better connection. But I think what you're talking about is the actual in-call audio quality, which isn't really governed by the radio.

I meant trolling in the sense that you said you couldn't find the radio thread in the resource thread, all you need to do is read a few lines of text on the first page to find it, plus it's under a huge "radio" subtitle. Not being able to find it is just mind-boggling.
