Hi,

i have Huawei Ascend G700-U10,

when i connect to internet GPS automatically turns on.

why this happens?

i read on the internet its because of Android Device Manager which is included in Google Play Services.

i deactivated it on device administrator, but GPS keeps turning on

how to disable it , because it drains too much charge.

thanks

Also, there seems to one thing left out of the instructions. Don't plug your phone into the USB until after sitting up the file paths in lgflashtool and hitting the arrow to begin the flash. After the message reads ready, then plug in the phone.

Although you initially have to connect the USB to set up the driver before getting to the above step. Its a tricky process and took me a little while to get to work.

What if I am rooted

Would it be a problem to get back root? I actually need to be rooted for some stuff I do at work. I ask because I do not see a big developer presence for this tablet.
[G Pad 8.3 General] kuboa:
I got the OTA but I had forgotten that I still had TWRP installed even though I'm on the stock 4.4.4 rom and not rooted anymore. TWRP interfered with the install and now it says my system is already up to date! Grrr.

Would it work if I just flashed your file via TWRP?
[G Pad 8.3 General] vtmike:
I had a similar situation. It does not work with twrp. I followed this thread to get completely back to stock 4.4.4 and then adb pushed the update file.

Thanks for the quick reply! I suspected that much and I've been trying to find a "back to stock recovery" tutorial for the last hour but failing, so I really appreciate the link. Cheers.
[G Pad 8.3 General] vtmike:
No problem. It was a bit frustrating to get everything to work and not very straight forward process. Would be much easier to just push the stock recovery in fast boot, but I couldn't find a file anywhere. It may be possible to extract it from the tot file from that thread but I couldn't figure it out.
[G Pad 8.3 General] kuboa:
Same here, no stock recovery anywhere. When I first bought the tablet I thought it was gonna have developer support like crazy, but no, it hasn't gained much traction unfortunately.

I'm doing the LG FlashTool thingy, but I don't see any movement in the tool. The tablet is in Download Mode and the tool looks like this: http://gyazo.com/47c9009fc9f90bffa582890d0a8e1587 No feedback whatsoever... is it working? Should I just be patient, do you think?
[G Pad 8.3 General] vtmike:
Check to see under device manager if the driver is set to com41, and the other thing I mentioned previously, get to the point that photo is at without the tablet plugged in, then when it says ready plug it in.
[G Pad 8.3 General] chding:
I have an error during update. And now the update notification is gone after restarted the tablet
[G Pad 8.3 General] gffmac:

You have to make sure you have completely stock 4.4.4 and recovery for it to work.
[G Pad 8.3 General] chding:
Any idea where can I get the factory image?
[G Pad 8.3 General] ragflan:
My update finally works!

My Gpe Gpad only has root and Xposed. I uninstalled Xposed and removed root but OTA was still failing with a generic 'ERROR' message. No details. However, when I sideloaded the update, I got the message "system/etc/permissions/platform.xml has unexpected contents". I figured out which app modifies this file. It's called Kitkat SDFix. This Play Store app modifies this file to enable read/write access for external sdcards. The developer makes a backup of the original platform.xml file (in the same location - system/etc/permissions/). So all you need to do is rename the modified platform.xml into anything else and rename the original backup back to platform.xml. You'll need a root explorer to achieve that.

After that the OTA works fine for me. Hope this helps someone else. Not that I had no custom recoveries or kernels so this process is for people who only had root and Xposed.

When you plug in the tablet it shows up as LG-something-something in Windows Device Manager. It was showing up as COM4 though, after changing that to COM41 I didn't have problems anymore. Did you do that first? The option is buried under a menu a couple of clicks down but it's there.

are you saying i should download the OP file and ADB push it?
[G Pad 8.3 General] SCWells72:
I've reverted to stock 4.4.4 and recovery but can't get adb to see my GPE in the bootloader. It sees it fine when Android is running, but not when in the bootloader. I've gone through these steps:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9709263/google-android-usb-driver-and-adb

and gotten Windows to recognize the device as "Android Composite ADB Interface" when in the bootloader, but "adb devices" still shows no attached devices. I also put "0x18D1" into my .android/adb_usb.ini file since that appears to be the vendor ID as far as I can tell.

Any thoughts? I'd really like to push the Lollipop update to my GPE!
[G Pad 8.3 General] ikz1:
Hi guys, is there any chance that this update for the GPE g pad 8.3 can be ported over to the v500 version of the g pad? Thanks.
[G Pad 8.3 General] vtmike:
I mean adb sideload the update.

Where did you find the recovery, I couldn't find a file. It seams like something is incomplete in your restore. I would recommend using the lgflashtool to get completely back to stock and then adb sideload the update file. This has worked for multiple people here including myself.
[G Pad 8.3 General] bxsteve31:
there is a thread in here about how to get back to 4.4.4 stock and in the OP links the 4.4.4 file and the recovery file. im trying to find it now. i closed the browser window.

[G Pad 8.3 General] vtmike:
The download file in the op is for the 5.0 update. The recovery file in there is for 5.0 and not 4.4.4. You need the 4.4.4 recovery to flash the update.

I have updated the op to include a link to a proven method to revert to stock 4.4.4.

[G Pad 8.3 General] schalmers:
Hi, yes it does but I can't figure out how to make a backup of the stock recovery. Searched the web but can't find any way to do this that doesn't require root
[G Pad 8.3 General] makakalo:
I think you can do something like "fastboot boot [filename].img" instead of flashing TWRP while in fastboot. I would try this myself, but I only remembered it after I replaced my stock recovery with TWRP. Those might not be the exact fastboot commands but there is a way to boot into a custom recovery without overwriting the stock one.

Edit: It's a similar process to rooting while keeping the stock recovery. Check this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2575783
[G Pad 8.3 General] djkinetic:
Try fastboot boot twrp filename then backup recovery upload it and ill test the back up when I get the chance
[G Pad 8.3 General] schalmers:
I know how to boot the recovery without installing it but when I am in TWRP 2.7.0.1, making a backup of recovery is not possible. I checked settings and advanced and could not figure out how to backup the recovery partition.

EDIT: Downloaded the new 2.8.1.0 TWRP version and tried again and Recovery is now an option so I will upload the Stock Recovery partition in a few mins (doing a full backup again with 2.8.1.0 )
[G Pad 8.3 General] SCWells72:
Thanks to schalmers' TWRP backup I'm upgraded now! Unfortunately I can't seem to get root. TWRP prompted me to do so after the restore and I swiped to confirm, but when I updated SuperSU from the store, it says that I need to re-root and to consult the appropriate forum. I've tried towelroot and stump. The former never seemed to finish and the latter said unsupported device. I imagine there's some simple way to do this that I'm missing. Thoughts? Thanks!!!

UPDATE: Never mind. I installed the latest beta of SuperSU and it gave me root. All good now!

How did you run the restore? I downloaded the zip, uncompressed into the twrp directory, and rebooted into recovery, but twrp doesn't see any restore files. Do I need to do anything else to get twrp to see the restore files? Thanks.
[G Pad 8.3 General] peacewise:
That's all I did - uncompressed into the TWRP directory (I used the one on the SD card - make sure you're looking in the right directory) and it was listed there when I booted in TWRP.
[G Pad 8.3 General] SCWells72:
The directory structure has to be like:

TWRP/BACKUPS/<your-device-ID>/<backup-name>

The <your-device-ID> portion is specific to your device and the <backup-name> is pretty much free-form text. To figure out what your device ID is, just make a backup of your boot partition and you'll want to put the contents of the zip in a named subdirectory of that. Hope this helps!

[G Pad 8.3 General] schalmers:
My Guess is you flashed the files that are for the v510 (Google Play Edition) version of the GPad on the v500 (Normal) version. I am pretty sure that is why you are getting the Boot certification error. I think you need to read other threads in the forum on how to recover your device back to Stock. I don't have the v500 so no idea how that device works with the LOKI I hear about.

Yeah, I restored back to my old system (4.4.4). Not having Xposed kinda sucks, but I noticed some other issues as well. Just minor problems that kind of bug me. My set up already rocked. Maybe when Xposed is working I'll try again.

[G Pad 8.3 General] SCWells72:
The knock on app works fine with lollipop. The kernel also works...mostly. I had one spontaneous reboot after installing it so I reverted to the stock kernel. It may have been unrelated, but I decided to opt for stability.

Having a problem that I hope somebody can help me fix. I reverted tablet back to using the method in the op, the tot method but the recovery is screwed up.

How can I fix this and get to 5.0?

If you're getting the screen where the droid is lying down with an exclamation mark and the words "no command", hit the power and volume up buttons at the same time and it will put the tablet into recovery mode (you might have to hit those two buttons at the same time a few times)
