hey guys i fianlly got a lapto from my buddy but it runs ubuntu and i am having trouble finding the files i need to get my v410 out of recovery or download mode i have almost zero expieriance with this operating system any links to the drivers or files would be amazng thank you
[LG G Pad 7 Questions & Answers] jason2678:
If you plan on using adb or fastboot first execute these commands in a terminal. They'll get the system all up to date so you don't end up with any weird conflicts and install the adb and fastboot programs:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb
sudo apt-get install android-tools-fastboot

After that, plug in the tablet with it in the mode you intend to use it in (or just skip this and use my rules entries below), then enter this in a terminal:

lsusb

That will generate a bunch of output, but usually one of the line fairly obviously describes the tablet. It will say LG or Google or something depending on what mode the tablet is in. You get the manufacturer ID and device ID from this command. Then you have to add a udev rule for that device to be able to access it.

To edit udev rules enter this in a terminal:

sudo nano -w /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules

My android rules file is this currently, you should be able to just paste this in. At least two or three of these are for the V410, and it won't hurt to have the extras.

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="04E8", ATTR{idProduct}=="6860", MODE="0666", OWNER="plugdev"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="1004", ATTR{idProduct}=="633e", MODE="0666", OWNER="plugdev"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="2080", ATTR{idProduct}=="0003", MODE="0666", OWNER="plugdev"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="18d1", ATTR{idProduct}=="d00d", MODE="0666", OWNER="plugdev"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="18d1", ATTR{idProduct}=="4ee2", MODE="0666", OWNER="plugdev"

Use ctrl + shift + V to paste into the terminal, not the normal ctrl + V. If this laptop wasn't previously setup to work with android devices, you might save yourself some headaches if you change plugdev to the username you're currently logged in with. Once the rules file is edited, just restart the laptop. There's ways to do all this without a restart from the cli, but the restart will ensure everthing gets refreshed (not like this is a production server ;) )

That should get your ubuntu laptop all ready to work with a V410.

[MENTION=6478703]sthil290[/MENTION] -

Oh, I see the error now. This is what I should have told you to try first. Enter this in a terminal

which adb
which fastboot

If those return something like /usr/bin/adb you're good to go and adb is installed. You just need to do the udev rules thing. If they come back blank fastboot and adb aren't installed. You could try entering

sudo dpkg --configure -a

See if it you can follow the prompts and repair the problem. Sounds like this system has a broken package or a bad installation at some point that's tripping up the package manager. It should be able to repair itself and get you back on track. If not, you could download android-sdk and let it set up adb and fastboot in platform-tools for you, but that's a bit more involved process and quite a bit larger download.

I'd leave the bootloader alone on this tablet. The locked bootloader is working just fine with bumped images. Someone about 60 - 80 pages back in this thread had a bad time with "fastboot oem unlock", and there doesn't seem to be a need to unlock.

Just saw a Candy thread pop up in the forum for one of my other devices. I didn't realize it was Slim based. I'm intrigued.

I'm going to have to flash it! Wow Candy looks like everything I love about slim and then some, and it looks good doing it. Bring it on when you get CM12 stable timmytim!

Thanks for all your hard work on this tablet. The flurry of activity lately has been great.

[LG G Pad 7 Questions & Answers] jason2678:
Try this

I've never tried this as I don't run Windows, but if its on XDA its got to be good. ;)

This should save you from having to download the android-sdk when all you want to do is use adb and fastboot.

You'll also have to track down the LG windows drivers from here.

V480 in the UK, seeing a firmware update this morning to V20a

About to unroot and try it!

Edit: No amount of attempts to to cleanly remove root will allow this to install, including a full reset, I am presuming something has been tripped at the bootloader level, so no update for me :/

It has the usual Lollipop changes, in as much as LG bothers to do, the lockscreen notifications are changed, the Home Buttons are now lollipop shapes, as yet most of the animations/transitions appear unchanged. Here's a quick set of screenies!

Edit: KingoRoot does not work on this ROM.
[LG G Pad 7 Questions & Answers] googlephone:
You can use the new universal root method for LG devices.

What about notification panel? Is it better? My biggest complaint about the g pad is the notification shade is the entire screen

It still 'dims' the home screen but now occupies just the middle 2/3rd of the screen, the tablet definitely feels snappier as well!

The Fusion ROM project is quite impressive on my s5, it would be a great experience on a larger screen like the v4xx have.
[LG G Pad 7 Questions & Answers] Dyphen:
Hi everyone - I'm new to the XDA & Android community, and just received a LG G Pad 7.0 LTE (v410) through an AT&T promotion yesterday.

I've never owned an Android device before, so I'm still learning, and I have a couple questions in regards to rooting/flashing/ROMs.

Current Understanding: I am currently on stock firmware (KK 4.4.2). From what I have gathered, I can root my device via Purpledrake-Lite OR the new LG Root Method (link). Once rooted, I should install SuperSu for root access management(?), then Flashify. I should make a backup with Flashify as means of having a stock recovery backup, before using it to install TWRP (a custom recovery). TWRP can be used to create backups, restore, and flash ROM's such as CM12, Skinny, Slim, and AOSP's in the future.(?)

Questions/Confirmations:

There is no stock/vanilla/AOSP LP for v410 (but CM12 & Slim are both custom variants of LP)?

These custom ROM's are preferred for a variety of reasons (e.g., such as better RAM management than stock firmware), but are still in early stages of development (only created a couple days ago).

Is there a reason or benefit for using one of the methods of rooting over the other?

Is there anything I should hold off doing at this point in time? Or is there anything I should be cautious about to ensure that I don't end up bricking my device?

Thank you for any help!
[LG G Pad 7 Questions & Answers] LeighR:
1) yes

2) yes

3) I've only used purpledrake, so dunno. Try whichever you want, the end result is the same (root access).

4) I suggest rooting amd installing twrp now but maybe holding off on flashing CM12 until the bugs are ironed out. I flashed the de odexed ROM and it works well.

[LG G Pad 7 Questions & Answers] laquer09:
first- y'all working on this rule. true thanks. second - the IR blaster

Preface - I run a small custom dev shop. The work you guys and gals do for the good of it is impressive to say the least, and the folks who complain...well, I guess it turns out there are Clients even in open source. That said - thanks freals.

Device: gpad 410. sidenote - could care less about the mobile data capability (hello, tethering?)

I'm on the cm12 alpha mostly because that LG stock firmware felt like....what I would imagine a TV company would put into a tablet. Also because I was hoping I'd be able to piggyback on some of the work done on the LG phone side that broke free, at least a little bit, this ridiculously locked down IR blaster. Solving this might be that golden key to allowing my girlfriend to easily operate my patchwork home media set up. I've seen and attempted a bunch of the aosp qremote ports for the phones referenced in other threads on xda (promise, I searched), and I'm pretty sure some folks with the gpads with greater dev skills than I (read: any at all) have gotten it to work but no such luck for myself.

Anyone else out there care about this? Or, is the consensus that its locked down so hard that its not worth bothering? I'm kinda good either way but I may break down and get the harmony if this path doesnt work. Not digging on the harmony...just, with my set up...fairly based around chromecasts throughout, it would be pretty nice to do it all from a tablet where my urban lazy ass can also order grubhub. Then, google express some toilet paper for the aftermath.

Thanks again, good stuff all around.

For those with the v410.......simply plugging in a stock GPad 7.0 won't allow Purple Drake to work.

Remember, you HAVE to do these steps in order for Purple Drake to work:

1. Enable USB Debugging (in about tablet, tap build number 7-8 times to access developer mode). With no USB attached, check USB Debugging.

2. When connecting USB, pull down your notification window and see how your tablet is connected. Default is for a USB connection to charge ONLY. You need to switch the tablet to connect as MTP.

Now you will be able to root via Purple Drake........I just did it 10 minutes ago. Proven it still works....
