[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the81kid:
Good morning

I have:

LG G Pad 8.3 with LG's custom interface OS

Android version 4.4.2

Kernel version 3.4.0

Build number KOT49I.V50020b

Software version V50020b

Here is an image of the software information:

http://s30.postimg.org/taiyvu2k1/201...8_14_31_41.png

I have already:

The LG drivers installed and updated -

Rooted the G Pad with towelroot's tr.apk (many thanks to the guy who made that method!)

Root checker and SuperSU installed and verifying the device is rooted

Google USB drivers (after rooting, the device refused to be recognized through the USB - installing the Google USB drivers seemed to fix that, although occasionally it dissappears again and I have to unplug/replug the USB cable)

Google ADT Bundle (adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140624 - although to be honest, my knowledge of using this program is limited)

Flashify (and Rashr - uncertain which is best to use, although both look good)

My goal:

Install TWRP

Use TWRP to install Cyanogen Mod

I'm using Windows 7 64-bit. My G Pad has a micro SD card, which it can also write to (thanks to the G Pad being rooted). I'm a competent Windows and Android user, but by no means a hacker. If I want to upgrade or fix something, I read read read and try try try. But installing a new OS on my tablet is a new experience and I don't want to turn my tablet into a permanent brick! I have done all my homework, and think I know all the concepts, and generally the procedure. Now I just need the specific files and procedure for my G Pad.

My questions are:

1) Which TWRP recovery/boot image should I use to flash my device? (I tried a version, and briefly turned my G Pad into a brick! Fortunately I tried some power+volume combinations that I discovered, and that seemed to return to the original system.) My best options I have found seem to be:

http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2551499

plus using step 3 here (a loki-exploitable ABOOT and TWRP)

http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2698267

...or only:

http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/213

2) Do I need to use an aboot/loki file first? (Apparently 4.4.2 doesn't have a loki exploit? I'm a little unclear about this tbh.)

3) Can/should I use ROM Toolbox or ROM Manager?

4) If you try to flash a TWRP, and it doesn't work, does/can the device just return to the standard OS? (This is what seems to have happened with my G Pad.)

5) Should I wait until the community has more experience TWRP-ing and modding the G Pad Kit Kat 4.4.2, V50020b device? (There seem to be a lot of posts with people installing TWRP and installing another OS.)

Many thanks in advance. And while I am decent with computers and technology in general, I humbly ask to speak/explain it to me including steps you probably already know are obvious(!) - I don't want to miss anything, and it is probably not obvious for me, as this is more or less my first time! If I can make this question clearer, or can provide better information, I will update this comment. Again, many thanks in advance!

Thanks for the link and information. I'll look at that carefully later. I want to be very careful (and know as much about what I'm doing as possible first) when I do this.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jarod004:
hmm... I believe I have the same build and software version as yours. I could recall a thread in the forums to flash the TWRP for the Korean version of the ROM, which actually worked fine for me. I have a SEA region tablet. If you still have issues, ill have a look when I get home.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the81kid:
Thank you very much, I'd appreciate the link, and any extra info you could give. I don't know if I'll have time to try it this weekend, but I'm collecting all the pages and info I can over the next few days, and I'm looking for a free time in my schedule to try this thing.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the81kid:
Now I have 20d : /

Apparently LG saw fit to update last night, and now I have 20d!

Does this change anything?

Cause I was all ready to try to load TWRP with 20b on my tablet. Now it's 20d and I don't know if that messes everything up.

ROM NO LONGER AVAILIABLE FROM XDA-DEVs FTP (thanks alot MS)

NEW updated rom comes as a complete install package for use on CID UNLOCKED Charmers that have the 2.06 SPL and IPL bootloaders installed (this can be checked on startup or in the bootloader)

New features include

* Crossbow Theme, also includes reskinned dialpad and WMP

* Crossbow System Sounds

* Latest OV9650.dll Camera driver - a vast improvement on previous

* HTCs X-Button

* New HTC Logo on bootup

* Customized Extended Rom

For those on T-Mobile, use the attached cabs to install settings for Internet and MMS

Hi

Just flashed my device with this ROM it doesnt seem to work, kept crashing.. had to reboot and reinstall T-mobile ROM ... stay clear !

Sorry I must disagree with the last statement I did mine about two weeks ago (oct 06) BUT I never install extended rom just pick cabs I need, mine seems faster and more stable than the old install

T Mobile skin remains!!!

Hello.

I have instaled this rom update but T Mobile skin is still in dial pad. I did as you write - reset before customizing. The other T mobile stuff doesnt exist so is ok. But this T Mobile skins for dial pad is awful. What can I do??
[MDA Compact II Software Upgrading] dave106:
not sure how you managed that, the tmobile skin for the phone is displayed using bitmaps, all of which i have removed from the rom aswell as relevant registry entries enabling them.
[MDA Compact II Software Upgrading] Luiz:
You make me BRICK my device.
[MDA Compact II Software Upgrading] dave106:
well youve done something wrong cos it works fine on mine and others.

with the phone off, hold down camera and plug in the sync cable. keep holding until the bootloader comes up. now you can install the original t-mobile package

Youve tried to install my rom on a AKU1 device. Clearly states in the first post that you need AKU2, which means on startup IPL and SPL should be 2.06 for it to work

Hiya.The device remains killed.It has gone from bad to worse!

The device remains dead!Repeat dont install it just in case guys!!!

Now I've bought an Wizard (Qtek 9100) with a broken screen for 50 quids and I'm going to use my LCD Screen on that device.Been told it's the same one.If it isnt gotta send it to the bin.

MDA Compact 2 Bricked Help...

Hiya

I've already decided to use my MDA Compact 2 LCD Screen on my Wizard device. But I noticed that someone has had the same problem while falshing it with a wizard room.What I'm asking now is very important to him. He'll be able to enter in the bootload mode by holding the camera and power bottom while the device is connected to the power charger.The big issue is: The device will be out of the bootload mode everytime it is taken out of the power.And no,that's not possible to put it into bootload mode while using USB connection,I dont know why.

So normally the problem is to get into the bootload mode.I've managed it.So now I can see just two ways out.One: reflash it using the SD card (there must be someone out there able to do it) or find a hybrid "usb/charger connector" in order to "fool" the device.I mean, a usb conector which has an USB and Power as well just like the one that Motorola uses to their Motorola A1000 device.

Regards

Luiz Santos
[MDA Compact II Software Upgrading] dave106:
cos youve trashed the bootloaders by installing a wizard rom, an SD backup is the ONLY option to fix it, theres no way of uploading a rom with a cable now. also the SD backup will only work if the wizard rom you installed didnt contain bootloaders for a G4 device.

Hello .. thx for the OS ... works fine ... but one thing .. :) where i can change the softwarebuttons?

ups ... sry ... found it .. :D :D
[MDA Compact II Software Upgrading] djmace:
What are the main changes that you have made to make this an unbranded rom?

I thought that all the branding was stored in the extended rom anyway, which hasnt been changed.

ive downloaded it but just want to find some more info on iot before i try it.

Also what cabs would i need to get the tmobile settings back for mms and gprs etc, but none of their ugly skins
[MDA Compact II Software Upgrading] stewhites:
Can someone confirm that my device is the right version for this ROM please?

MDA compact II

ROM Version: 2.6.2.27

Rom Date: 3/9/06

Radio version: 02.19.21

Protocol version:4.1.13.09

ExtRom version 2.6.2.110
[MDA Compact II Software Upgrading] dave106:
only a small part of the tmob branding is installed from the ext rom, mainly a different set of icons for the start menu, the rest was in the base rom. as far as i can remember, the branding i removed was

phone pad t9 input was replace with standard htc graphics from tmobs pink and grey

tmobs pink and grey dialler was removed, leaving the standard windows one

tmobile carrier logo removed from dialler

internet explorers 1st page has tmob stuff removed.

i recommend installing the following from the ext rom

CAB: \Extended_ROM\MP_EmailWizDB_PPC_TMOUK_060216.CAB

CAB: \Extended_ROM\MP-Shorcut-MMS1-JAVA6XX-CV-VOICE-EmailWiz-TMO-051215.CAB

CAB: \Extended_ROM\MP_PictureVideo_reg_signed.CAB

CAB: \Extended_ROM\MP_SmartDialing_enable_0915_signed.CAB

CAB: \Extended_ROM\MP_CVSDcpl_20060220.cab

CAB: \Extended_ROM\PP_BrowserPerformance.CAB

CAB: \Extended_ROM\PP_Customize_TMUK_CHM_20402102.CAB

CAB: \Extended_ROM\PP_DiscoButton_8.sa.CAB

CAB: \Extended_ROM\PP_UA_TMOEU_CHM_20602101.CAB

and then for tmobile users to install all tmob settings for mms, internet etc

CAB: \Extended_ROM\MP_Customization_TMUK_Charmer(AKU2.0 )_060414.CAB - sets up mms settings

CAB: \Extended_ROM\PP_Connection_TMUK_CHM_20602102.cab - tmobile gprs settings
[MDA Compact II Software Upgrading] dave106:
thats fine, 2.6.2.27 tells me you have AKU2 installed
[MDA Compact II Software Upgrading] stewhites:
Thanks for that, could you also tell me when to reset to stop the TM branding and where to find the cabs mentioned?

"i havent worked out how to insert a modified extended rom in the package, so you'll still need to soft reset at customization on first start to avoid tmobile crap then go in and install what you need."

/edit

Nevermind, just seen the repy above mine :)
[MDA Compact II Software Upgrading] djmace:
Sorry but i have to agree, ive just used your rom and have the same problem, i soft reset after initial boot up and have not installed anything from the extended rom yet and i still have the tmobile dialpad, carrier gif & phonepad.

Just checked the windows directory and thay are all still in there.
[MDA Compact II Software Upgrading] MrSandman:
Could u please tell me which one in the Extended ROM is the cab file for the program to change the 2 soft keys on the today screen?
[MDA Compact II Software Upgrading] djmace:
Im not sure sorry, best one to ask would be dave.

Have you installed this rom and did it remove the tmobile branding on the phone dialer?

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhypht:
I have a Sprint version Galaxy S5 [G900P] that I just rooted. I would like to try installing some custom ROMs on it, but I cannot find a ROM that says it supports the G900P. Most of the ones I found on this site (Carbon, Alliance, X-Note, Phoenix, etc) say they support the G900F, and a few have some other models supported. Yet none of them mention the G900P. Is it not possible to install custom ROMs on the Sprint version of the S5 at this time? Or will the G900F ROMs work on my version?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DistrictDigital:
You're looking for this forum. It contains only information regarding the SGS5 Sprint Variant (G900P).

Happy flashing, and always remember to backup! I personally use Philz CWM Touch Recovery. :)
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhypht:
Thanks for the info! I use Philz CWM as well, and I've really had no issues with it! Definitely backed up prior to flashing. As a side note, is it safe to rename the backups made by Philz CWM? I currently just have two backups, one of stock ROM right after installing Philz, and one after flashing RDDT. I can imagine that after trying a few other ROMs, it will get a bit complicated to keep one from the other.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DistrictDigital:
Unfortunately, I have no clue. I'm guessing, since it's based off of CWM, that you can, but like I said, I don't know.

How do you guys debug why a dll doesn't load on a device.

For example I have a Treo 700w and a Treo 700wx. The hardware is identical except for extra ram on the wx. I install the tornado a2dp cab on the wx which I've done time and again on the w, but bta2dp.dll will not load on the wx. Yes I did run the cert cab for these dll's.

Any ideas on how to debug this? Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] SetoK:
I'll assume this means that you know that the dll is signed and that the certificate that it's signed with is in the certificate store on the 700wx.

Try copying bta2dp.dll to your PC, and run the command.

dumpbin /imports bta2dp.dll

this lists the dll's that bta2dp.dll needs before it can load. Verify that these dll's are available.

How do you know that bta2dp.dll isn't loading? Do you get an error message?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] hannip:
Thanks for the info. I used TaskMgr and see that the WAV8 device is not loaded. There is no error. Just the missing selection to set my wireless headphones to stereo. I'll check out dumpbin and see what I find.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] hannip:
Well I used dumpbin and verified that all of the dependencies are indeed there. I double verified that the dll's are signed and the correct cert is installed on the device. When I try to load bta2dp.dll via the TaskMgr it gives the error "The system cannot open the device or file specified."

I have to assume the file itself is fine since it loads on another device.

I'm not a windows programmer, but I do have VS2005 installed and the WM5 sdk. Is there a way programatically or otherwise to determine why it is failing to load? Any tips or tricks appreciated.

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] SetoK:
A dll isn't an application that can be run on it's own, but rather a module that is loaded by the system or another application. That is you can't run it like an application.

You should be able to start "Remote Process Viewer" from vs2005. When you click on a process it will show all the dll's (modules) that the process has loaded. Try it on a device that works and the one that doesn't. compare results. I've never really played with blue tooth, but I expect that the devices or services process will have it loaded.

I'm not sure that it's the dll that isn't loading. But if you want to verify that it can load, you can use LoadLibrary or LoadLibraryEx. Then use GetLastError() if it fails. Here's some code that might help

#include <Winbase.h>
int WINAPI WinMain(	HINSTANCE hInstance,
HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
LPTSTR lpCmdLine,
int nCmdShow)
{
DWORD ErrorCode=0;
TCHAR buff[100];

HINSTANCE hDLL = LoadLibraryEx(_T("bta2dp.dll"), NULL, NULL);
/*	HINSTANCE hDLL = LoadLibraryEx((_T("bta2dp.dll"), NULL, DONT_RESOLVE_DLL_REFERENCES);
*/
if (hDLL == NULL)
{
ErrorCode=GetLastError();
_stprintf(buff, _T("Failed to open bta2dp.dll, error code %d"), ErrorCode);
MessageBox(NULL, buff, _T("ERROR"), MB_OK);
}
else
{
MessageBox(NULL, _T("Opened bta2dp.dll"),_T("SUCCESS"), MB_OK);
FreeLibrary(hDLL);
}
return 0;
}
