I am also having the same issue. I even paid (and got refunded) from 2 online "pro's" and took it to a local (actual) pro

No luck with stump root, 3 different versions. 1.0.0, 1.2.0, 1.2.0.1

Android Version: 4.4.2

Kernal: 3.4.0

Build: KOT49I.VK81022B

Soft Version: VK81022B

Soft Status: Official

Is there something I am missing, a setting in developer options, or something that would make it fail during the brute force?

The first time the pro had me brute force, it worked, we restarted, started up SuperSu and it all fell apart there.

So glad I found someone with the exact same issues...
[G Pad 8.3 General] c4manceph:
Could you please confirm that you used Stump Root 1.2.0.1 I've not seen any such version.

Thanks
[G Pad 8.3 General] TheRockyBear:
Yeah, at least that's what it says. The local pro is the one who used it.
[G Pad 8.3 General] geomun:
Rocky-the one difference i do see is that your software status says original and mine says modified. I bought mine used off eBay so i don't know everything that has been done to it. Maybe if i can get mine back to official that would be a good start..
[G Pad 8.3 General] c4manceph:

Running Upgrade Recovery now....will post results,
[G Pad 8.3 General] geomun:
good news and very good news for ROOT

[MENTION=3829808]c4manceph[/MENTION] and [MENTION=6124443]TheRockyBear[/MENTION]--> The upgrade recovery went well. 2 reboots and then when I checked About Tablet and Software Information, the Software Status was back at Official as expected. I then reinstalled STUMP 1.2.0 and ran it. The counter started and only went up to about 5000 and then I saw these two screens. (the already rooted screen is when I ran stump again) (see attachments).. So far so great! I rebooted once and I think the tablet rebooted again on its own. I then installed superuser and titanium backup. I have uninstalled several default apps so far using TB including Iheartradio and IMDB. One of the first must apps I installed was AdAway!!
[G Pad 8.3 General] c4manceph:
That's great [MENTION=717639]geomun[/MENTION]. Glad to read the good news. Thanks for the update!

I ran the upgrade recovery this morning, it took just over twenty minutes.

Ran StumpRoot 1.2.0 successfully.

Rebooted the device when prompted by StumpRoot. (Brute Force ran to 6500 or so)

The device did in fact reboot a second time on its own.

Rooted, installed TB, AdFree, and debloating.

Thanks [MENTION=717639]geomun[/MENTION] for confirming this solution.
[G Pad 8.3 General] TheRockyBear:
YES!!! I had to get my wife's old laptop working again (I have a mac) and was then able to run the upgrade recovery and then stump.

I am rooted!!!
[G Pad 8.3 General] DeanGibson:
This was on a VK810?

How did you get your VK810 into download mode? I've tried holding down the two volume buttons and then inserting the USB cable, and nothing happens ... the LG Module Support Tool can't find the tablet, unless I fully (ie, normally) boot the tablet.
[G Pad 8.3 General] geomun:
connect your USB cable and then do the following-

With your tablet completely powered off you hold the power button and the up volume button to get to the download mode. The instructions say to hold the up and down volume buttons but of course as you know that does not work. Then the lg tool should be able to see device.
[G Pad 8.3 General] DeanGibson:
Halfway there ...

OK, that got me into Download mode, which I really appreciate.

Now my problem is apparently USB drivers. I've installed LG_VZW_United_WHQL_v2.18.0.exe: My three LG devices (two VK810) all get ports and are listed as ADB/Android devices, and USB debugging mode works on all of them. So, that seems to say to me that I have the correct drivers installed correctly.

However, when I run either the LGMLauncher (LG Mobile Support Tool) or the 2014 Flash Tool (that invokes LGMLauncher components), neither of them see the VK810 in Download mode. I've even tried moving the port to COM41, to no avail.

So close, and yet so far ...
[G Pad 8.3 General] geomun:
DeanG,

Might be worth noting that on my machine, I am having to use the USB 2.0 connections and NOT the USB 3.0 ports. (it is true especially when the LG tablet is off)

G
[G Pad 8.3 General] DeanGibson:
Success!

Well, I don't have USB 3.0 ports on my Win7/x64 machine, but last night, I lay in bed and thought about the problem. I decided to try it on my WinXP machine in the morning. That did the trick; the "Update recovery" worked flawlessly with LGMLauncher. It seems that the USB driver install creates a "modem" device on the WinXP machine, but not on the Win7/x64 machine.

And Stump brute-forced "root" around #6600 (the other VK810 did it around #1200), followed by one manual and one automatic reboot.

Thanks!
[G Pad 8.3 General] geomun:
great news. I am using a win8.1 /64 machine and it worked. I bet your XP machine needs some patches!! :)

I don't think so. I got one in August that Stump rooted immediately. I got another one a month ago, and Stump didn't take, so I used LG's tool (procedure described elsewhere) to reinstall a factory-fresh load, and then tried Stump again, and it worked.

[G Pad 8.3 General] N00b-un-2:
to clarify for everyone, the only way to root in the first place for the vk810 is to roll back the software to VK81011A_01.kdz using the modified LG flash tools. you can root that firmware (android 4.2.2) using Stumproot, Towelroot or Kingo. I've tested all three, Stumproot being the most effective. If you have SuperSU Pro, you can enable "survival mode" and you will keep root through an OTA update. However!!!!

If you loki flash TWRP recovery, you will not be able to OTA, and attempting to (or accidentally clicking on it) will soft brick your tablet. In which case your only option is going to be to reflash the .kdz

There is no way to root any firmware above VK81011A. You have to downgrade first, root, and then take the OTA update.

[G Pad 8.3 General] sefirosu0522:
No sir. Stump root works on VK81023A. Just gotta force it.
[G Pad 8.3 General] N00b-un-2:
huh... :confused:

I tried stump root several times on VK81023A (what my tablet shipped from Verizon with) and it would fail, even using brute force. After several days of trying it seemed that the only option was to flash back to older firmware that could be exploited. I assume that it was flashed at the factory with VK81023A and never contained any other firmware. I wonder if there is a difference between an OTA updated tablet and one that was clean kdz flashed? before I started building CM11, I tried updating to 4.4.2 using kdz and I was not able to root. Only by downgrading to 4.2.2, rooting, enabling survival mode, and then accepting the OTA and then re-rooting was I able to get 4.4.2 rooted.
[G Pad 8.3 General] sefirosu0522:
You know, it's very strange. I've heard of stump working for some and not others. I was worried about the OTA breaking twrp and root so I downloaded the news kds file and flashed it. Was able to root it right away.

Side note, good to see you're working on a rom for this thing. Wish I knew how to do this stuff. Hope you get data working!

WOW! This what exactly what I was looking for, after a root gone horribly wrong, I was hopelessly stuck in a boot error. My VW LG GPad would not boot up. I followed all the instructions for the v500 to put it into download mode. I could not get it to work. Then I found your post specifically about the VK810, which is what I have. It worked perfectly. Once it went into download mode. Windows detected it, and installed some additional drivers. The LG Support Tool detected it, and I was able to begin the recovery. Thanks so much for this. Saved me.
[G Pad 8.3 General] Wiebenor:
Well... coming across this old forum post, I had to read it... there are indeed custom roms, supposedly even a resurrection remix rom, although the creator doesn't say it's for the 810, in his OP no matter what he says later... there is a debloated stock rom too... i forget what I had on mine, but I ended up having to flash factory when a factory reset destroyed my partitions... TWRP gave me a 'couldn't write partition' error... corrupted or something... so... i just went back to factory, and rooted with stumproot... 4.2 android... may wanna go to 4.4, but I love the usb plugin animation... thats the one thing preventing me...

I'd say interesting rather then amazing. Nothing we can't replicate and improve if we wish.

However, it is a shame that the full spec wasn't released. Even something as simple as basehue isn't documented - it's illogical because skins and wallpapers clearly drive commerce on less intellectually challenging devices. If Microsoft offered a market for suck skins, keeping the spec to themselves makes sense. But just keeping it secret is a PITA.

Im here having some troubles. My first problem is :

1. The ROM I downloaded from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2622069 is kinda damage/ error. I dunno it's a real error or what.

But it shows error message like :

E:Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip

Note :

Before I did that, I have done the ' wipe cahce partition ' and also the ' wipe data/ factory reset '.

2. Now my phone is stuck on the blackscreen with white text " Samsung Galaxy Mini GT-S5570 ". I got no idea about what going on here, it's my first time ROM-ing. Thx btw.

3. Now if I enter the recovery mode, it shows error msg : E:failed to mount /system (Invalid argument)

I hope you can help me in easy way, coz im totally newbie here.

it's no difference than AMOLED pentile displays like the ones found on many of the samsung galaxy phones. almost any display you will always see things if you shine bright light on it while the display is off. of course this is not really a problem because people don't tend to stare at their phones while the screen is off.
[Xperia Z3 General] robstunner:
While I agree it's not that big of a deal, I was surprised to see it. First phone in a long time that had it this noticeable.
[Xperia Z3 General] Indicious Flow:
The reason why the digitizer could be seen is because of the no-gap display that they have made between the screen and the digitizer, allowing higher sensitivity on the screen itself (which is helpful for some people), and also reducing reflection/refraction from light source.
[Xperia Z3 General] robstunner:
If thats they case they are doing a terrible job, the screen is very reflective.
