[G Pad 8.3 General] tselling:
I wound up putting my VK810 into a TWRP bootloop. It happened when I did a factory reset within 4.4.2 os rather than through TWRP. I had a TWRP backup of 4.4.2 but couldn't use it because Data partition wouldn't mount (I don't know if the partition got deleted or what during factory reset). I looked at this post that talked about recovering from a kdz file but couldn't get that to work... http wouldn't run, etc.

Anyway I recovered my device with LGMLauncher.exe (LGMobile application). I put the device in download mode (holding down volume down and inserting USB cable) and ran LGMLauncher. Under Options, I selected Upgrade Recovery. It restored 4.4.2 to my device and all is well! I was also able to upgrade a VK810 on 4.2.2 that kept giving an error on upgrade. This might be helpful if added to the initial post for others that have a non-booting device rather than the kdz method since it is so much easier than using a kdz file. This is from the XDA post [HOW-TO] The easiest way to unbrick your LG G Pad 8.3 - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2590185.

ADB Not Working to load TWRP

Hello. I first want to thank everyone that have done such a great job with this post. I was able to get the Kitkat update and was able to root using stumproot. I've installed the Verizon LG driver and have the latest update (VK81023a), of which, I was able to root. The only problem is that when I go to use adb to push the files for TWRP, no devices are shown. I am unable to find either the ADB or android driver for the phone in the device manager (Windows 7).

Please help this noob is your can. I enjoy having the bloatware gone and would like to do backups and have multiwindow.

Thanks in advance
[G Pad 8.3 General] NEPAT989:
NEVERMIND... Boy did I have a real "duh" moment. Looked back over the entire thread, started from step one and got TWRP to work.

I thought this tablet was ok because I got it free with $20/month data plan. I liked the tablet when I got root, now that I've put multiwindow, I can actually use this for work.

Thanks for the time not only for posting this thread, but providing clear instructions!

Thanks for this guide, i messed everything up and had to factory restore..however there is a super easy way to do it with kdz....it was easy and i got stump root to work on 4.4.2 after it failed several times

Interesting Stump and Root experience with Official VK810 update 23A

:good:

I had an interesting Stump and Root experience with Official VK810 update 23A. This is just FYI in case it's helpful, although comments are welcome.

Details:

1. I was happily running 22B that I had rooted by downgrading the aboot to v4.2.2, and using Stump v12 (as far as I remember), had uninstalled several system apps, and had TWRP v2.7.0.2 installed. I have at least two backups of this setup, besides having a complete backup of apps and data with Titanium Backup.

2. It had downloaded the 23A OTA but I hadn't installed since I had TWRP recovery.

3. After a "final" Titanium Backup and TWRP backup, and moving all files from internal storage to external SD, and ejecting the microSD card to be cautious, I connected the VK810 to my PC (running Windows X Technical Preview), changed the tablet USB connection to Ethernet Internet mode, and ran LGMLauncher.exe, which I already had from working on my LG G3.

4. In the LG Mobile tool, I ran Update Recovery after the tablet was recognized. It downloaded the 1.5 Gb KDZ file, which I saved by the way, just for the heck of it, and the tool eventually put the tablet in Download mode, and as usual the tool reported that it was interrupted or something like that, but I just clicked Retry and it flashed the KDZ to the tablet.

5. Once one or two reboots were done, I still had my user apps and system settings, but no actual root. SuperSU v1.40, still installed, reported that the SU binary wasn't installed and that it couldn't install it.

6. I ran Stump, which I still had installed all this time. After prompting me to try the brute force method, it reported that it succeeded and needed a reboot. Unfortunately I shut off the laptop, rebooted into recovery and chose Factory Reset, to verify that stock recovery was indeed restored. It was and it now wiped my whole tablet back to stock, so I didn't get to the point where I could test if it had been rooted.

7. I installed and ran SuperSU anyway with the same result as in step 5. I reinstalled Stump and tried to Brute Force it a total of four times - or maybe five. All 4-5 times it got to 15000 and then said device unsupported. I realized I had USB Debugging off so I decided to turn that on and reboot, in case for some crazy reason that made a difference.

8. I ran SuperSU and lo and behold, it gave me a prompt to install the SU binary. I choose Normal method. 15 minutes later it was still spinning it's wheels so I had the tablet reboot. Another surprise to me, SuperSU appeared to be working.

9. Installed and ran Root Checker from the Play Store and indeed, the tablet is rooted.

Observations:

One or any combination of these factors:

A. I could've only "unsuccessfully" run Stump once and followed the rest of the procedure with SuperSU and been indeed rooted.

B. USB Debugging did make a difference even though Stump never reported success.

C. We may never know why it worked.

Next steps:

Installed Flashify from the Play Store, and backed up the stock recovery and boot before I install the Loki TWRP.
[G Pad 8.3 General] Davidson3680:
Great info

I used Stump root and it worked great for me I am now controlling My LG Tablet Thank you for the info :D
[G Pad 8.3 General] timmyd463229:
Did you have the latest update before rooting
[G Pad 8.3 General] Davidson3680:
Yes I was fully updated
[G Pad 8.3 General] sefirosu0522:
So I turned the tablet on today. The update is there and ready to install. I'm rooted and have TWRP installed. What can I do to avoid a brick? Is there any way to delete the download and block the OTA? I'm not sure what I have to freeze or where the OTA downloads too. Any help would be appreciated.
[G Pad 8.3 General] bamemanxxa3416:
BUMP as I would like to know also
[G Pad 8.3 General] sefirosu0522:
I ended up just using the latest kdz file to go back to stock. I was able to root it. I just haven't tossed recovery on there yet.
[G Pad 8.3 General] Revoe:
Following your lead...

[MENTION=581991]roi[/MENTION]rraW "edor" eh,

After running Stump 1.2 about a dozen times with USB debugging and unknown sources enabled (and having it fail each time using brute force), I'm going to check out whether SuperSU is able to work its magic. My tablet is letting me know OTA VK81024A is available and I want to be rooted prior to trying it out in case they block current root methods. Going to keep Camando Mode enabled.
[G Pad 8.3 General] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Any luck?

How did you get a custom recovery? I have my vk810 rooted but cant seem to install a custom recovery your help would highly appreciated

Hi!

OTA VK81024A Rooted!

After searching through forums for weeks looking for viable root options (rollback and Purplerake or Towelroot, ADB scripting, and all others) and running Stump as often as I remembered (probably 30 times on 23A) I finally have it! I didn't see any up to date threads on rooting the VK810 and all the old threads had too many broken links to actually perform the steps.

Here's how it went down;

1.) Installed the latest LG USB drivers from LG's site ( http://tool.xcdn.gdms.lge.com/dn/downloader.dev?fileKey=UW00520120427 ).

2.) Download LG Mobile support tool ( https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B687...p2NlhhalU/edit ).

3.) Run the LG Mobile Support Tool program.

4.) Switched tablet USB mode to "Internet Connection / Ethernet" and after a few moments the LG Tool recognized my VK810.

5.) In LG Tool, click on "Options -> Upgrade Recovery" on the upright corner.

6.) It should start downloading stock firmware right away, if it says "Downloading" but there is no file size or progress, then you need to disable firewall.

7.) After the download, it will start "Upgrading".

8.) When the tablet rebooted I was on the latest VZW VK81024A which shocked me because I thought it was going to put the factory image (JB 4.2), but not to give up hope, I retried Stump...1st time rooted the thing!

9.) Followed Stump Root's directions (Reboot after app tells you to, Install SuperSU APK from market, Uninstall StumpRoot) and poof!

10.) Enjoy rooted 24A KitKat

It is very possible that 24A broke the fix VZW had for 23A (even though many people had success with 23A) and one need only take 24A OTA to Stumproot if they were not able to prior, but this is how my experience went down.

MANY thanks to [MENTION=581991]roi[/MENTION]rraW "edor" ehT, [MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION], & [MENTION=4501244]jim380[/MENTION] for producing the threads and software that led to my rooting.
[G Pad 8.3 General] CCallahan:
Was already on 24A but could not get Stumproot to work no matter what. I can confirm that using the LG Mobile Support Tool to upgrade recovery allows Stumproot to successfully root the tablet.
[G Pad 8.3 General] Revoe:
Rock on brother! It's good to see a pattern for root to those who were otherwise unable, like myself and you. Now just need to spread the word so others don't have to search forums for days when Stump doesn't cut it the first time. Now I'm on the hunt for a reliable debloat list. I've already axed the obvious apps, but let me know if you run across a good list.
[G Pad 8.3 General] CCallahan:
Just picked up an sd card for it today and will be doing backups. Then will start uninstalling bloat & will report on what I find.

I just installed the game and it gets stuck at the loading screen. It eventually gives me some null frame error that I've never seen before

Is it an issue with this model tablet or maybe my tablet is just messed up some how? I did go through and turn off/disable some things, but none should have affected this game

Resolved

Hrmm, thanks for the information. I just did a factory reset and am still getting stuck around the 85% part of the loading bar
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcaplinger76:
That's weird... did you install it from the Galaxy Apps ? That's what I did because it says you get $15 in app purchases.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Enddo:
ahha, that fixed it. I had originally downloaded it from the Google Play Store

I'm at the intro cartoon scene now. Let's hope it continues to work. Thanks again :)
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Enddo:
Hrmm, so now that I have attached my Google Play account to the game, when it loads up it tells me that I need to upgrade to the latest version. When I press the upgrade button it takes me to the Galaxy Apps page via Chrome

This is disappointing :(
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcaplinger76:
Yeah I never tried doing that, that's no good

Edit: Just went into the settings and signed in using Google+ and it signed me into Google Games and worked like it should....can't find the $15 though
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rorytmeadows:
Mine did the same thing, but I'll give it a shot from Samsung Apps
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Enddo:
That definitely worked for me. When I started to research the original error message, I saw a forum for Blackberry users talking about getting this erorr because they didn't have Google Play Services on their device. Sideloading a Google play services app helped them.

I can only imagine that is what's going on with the Tab S. Something stupid that Samsung has done with TouchWiz. Purely speculation though
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ukael:
Same here with install from Play store: Stuck at loading between 80 and 95% on my Tab S 8.4.

I'm not willing to go through Samsung store, so my testing stops here.

I'm actually growing upset at Samsung with this device. Their bloatware is even more intrusive than Google's and more often impossible to remove/disable. They automatically start and run in the background leeching personal data, memory and battery life without doing much to improve user experience in return.

And no matter if it's a Firmware, TW or Exynos issue, something seems to be messing up with how apps and transition effects perform... and all of the suspects are branded Samsung. I see way too many issues here for a supposedly top notch device positioned in such a high pricing. I see all the elements for a winning product ruined by greed: Poor optimization, integration of a company shipset to save some cash, poor Quality Control (considering the amount of defect units reported), integration of a large amount of bloatware to generate side income at the detriment of user experience.

I hope all of this gets fixed with custom firmwares or future official firmwares, but I'm still upset that Samsung goes for cheap tactics on a wannabe high end product.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Enddo:
I have to agree.

In the back of my head I'm kind of hoping that it's a faulty device and the rest run better. There's some progress going on a CyanogenMod port. I am hoping this works out nicely so I can enjoy the Tab S as much as I enjoy my two year old nexus 7. And I'm not even a fan of CyanogenMod, lol. But it's the lesser of two evils right now. It could end up being my savior lol. I thought this Exynos chip was comparable to the Snapdragon 800. I knew the Snapdragon performed better GPU wise, but not by this much.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cpete47:
A workaround is to install the kindle version from the Amazon app store.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Enddo:
imma go try that right now :o
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jfleegle:
The Amazon Appstore version is giving me some strange graphical glitches, and it also still at 1.1.2 when the version on the Google Play Store has been updated to 1.1.3.

The gaphical glitches are that sometimes when I start the gamne, almost everthing is black. If I force close it and reopen it, it looks normal. Also, a few of the items from the Comicon event are showing in a different location than where I place them. The actual image if the item is above nd to the left of where I actually place it. To click the item, I have to click where I placed the outline, not on the actual image, so it appears to be a display issue.

Does anyone know if a custom ROM will run the Play Store version correctly?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DAvid_B:
The version on the Galaxy store works now.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcoulombe:
Same thing happens sometimes with the version provided on the Samsung App Store. It's outdated (one version behind the Google Play store version), but at least, it runs...

I tried the version on the Amazon App Store, but was not able to login with Google+.

I can mirror to mega but my internet is too slow to upload as BitTorrent. It will be a few hours before I mirror to mega though. So for the time being high tail will have to do, which in my opinion I prefer high tail because is unlimited bandwidth and it's not full of spam and ads like other sites

[Sprint LG G2] Artifesto:
There shouldn't be anything about a download manager if you're on your phone it should bring you to here which you just click download. Unless you have some adware on your commuter
