[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rvamcy:
I checked the forum if there were any threads that resolved my concerns. I could find none. I could find similar topic, but different problem. Still, apologies in advance if this is a repeat.

I bought a brand new Verizon-branded LG G Pad 8.3 LTE (VK810) that was advertised as unlocked. I love the tablet and have never had mobile data on tablet before (my other two tabs - iPad Air and Note 12.2 Pro are WiFi, so not familiar with mobile settings on android tablets especially). I am tempted to use the 200 MB free for life T-Mobile data (I am on AT&T mobile and the idea is to move to T-Mobile in the next year and use this tablet for travel). However, I have had no luck, whatsoever, to get on the 200 MB plan.

Here is what I did:

(a) Went to T-Mobile store and bought a SIM for my tablet. $15.

(b) Was able to see 4G LTE on top right of my tablet.

(c) Turned off WiFi and went to t-mobile(dot)com(slash)connectme

(d) The webpage loads fine (able to connect to network etc.) and problem begins when I try to create T-Mobile ID. I type in my email, password and 4-digit PIN and then am taken to an 'error' page with 8009378997 number.

(e) I tried calling customer care and after 20 minutes of kicking along, found no luck as one agent mentioned that VK810 is not eligible for the promotion.

Can anyone help me with this? Is this tablet eligible to get on the 200 MB plan? Did anyone here have luck with T-Mobile in this regard? Are APN settings related to this in any way (have no idea what APN is)? A bit disappointed that I cannot use my tablet in an optimal way and any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

I have a feeling this could be a T-Mobile APN issue. The reason I say that is because this was not an issue yesterday; well, at least not THIS manifestation of the issues I've been having. I'm talking to T-Mobile right now too, but I want to see if anyone else has ever experienced something like this. It happened overnight; I had not adjusted my settings in anyway between yesterday and today.

Attached is the mess that is most of my MMS right now. That's the beginning and end of one "message" - there are a lot of characters in between that I cut out for posterity. Can anybody explain it?

Hopefully someone can shortcut a safe script and do it soon. Verizon is getting quicker at popping out root block methods. They should focus more on making lollipops!
[Droid Ultra General] enzyne:
This would be awesome.
[Droid Ultra General] thenameisnigel:
I'm attempting this method right now, and let me tell you, this is most definitely not for the faint of heart. This process is EXTREMELY dangerous, and there's a good chance that it won't work at all. I'll fill you guys in when I'm done, but given the speed of this thing, that'll be in a day or two. If it's successful, I'll write up a tutorial in English, but again this is not for the faint of heart. It literally involves putting your phone into QHSUSB_DLOAD mode, a mode that is more wide-known as a hard brick.

Again, I'm doing it right now, it says the process will take more than 3 hours, so I'll be back sooner or later.

Edit: Also given the fact that you're going into QHSUSB_DLOAD mode, there's no safe script. This process can and probably will **** up your phone. Unfortunately, it's too late for me to turn back, so I just gotta go on ahead with it and hope for the best.
[Droid Ultra General] chuck864:
You sir are a man with big balls. So this process involves hard bricking your phone and in the process of bringing it back to life, gaining root?

Also what phone are using? I know it says it's for the mini but wondered if it would work on the ultra and maxx as well.
[Droid Ultra General] thenameisnigel:
I'm using the Ultra and I'm literally scared ****less to be completely honest. I have to wait for it to finish the first process, and then I have four more to go. I'm hoping to be done by tonight, but considering the speed that this is going at, it'll take a day or two to finish. As dangerous as this process is, as soon as you run the script to start uploading the system.mbn files to the phone, it also fixes the boot loader (fastboot mode) so just in case your computer turns off (as mine did like an hour ago/again I was scared ****less when that happened), you just can go back to fastboot mode and start over.

I Do NOT recommend anyone try this though until I finish and post my results, but everything seems good so far. I'll post a screenshot of the process if you guys want to, and I am most definitely starting a write-up tutorial as well as trying to make a one-click, that won't be posted until I complete this successfully.
[Droid Ultra General] drmrjake:
Thank you thank you thank you.... Eagerly waiting!!!!
[Droid Ultra General] thenameisnigel:
The first step out of five just finished like 10 minutes ago, so I'm in fastboot mode charging my phone because letting it die in the middle of the process doesn't seem like it would be good. I'll probably start step 2 in like 30-45 minutes so I can get a decent charge before I continue. Also, just giving a heads-up that rooting looks like it'll be an all-day process considering I started it at 2 and it's 6:05 right now. And that was just step one.
[Droid Ultra General] drmrjake:
Well good luck to you sir... I for one (and I can probably speak for allof us out here) VERY much appreciate it.
[Droid Ultra General] enzyne:
Praying for you man. You would be a hero!
[Droid Ultra General] thenameisnigel:
Just wanna give a update while I'm letting my Ultra charge up, you should

REALLY

make sure your phone is at 100% charge before you attempt this because charging in fastboot mode is a bit questionable (my phone says Battery Low and the charger has been connected the entire time from entering fastboot mode), so that's something to be aware of. I'm gonna let it go until 7, and then I'll start Step 2. Hopefully it'll be done before I go to sleep so I can put it in fastboot to recharge overnight and I can continue in the morning with Step 3. This is definitely a very long process.
[Droid Ultra General] Samg381:
Sadly, It is impossible to root the Droid Maxx. I commend anyone trying their luck however.
[Droid Ultra General] drmrjake:
If I'm not mistaken (and I really hope I'm wrong) I believe you need a "factory" USB cable to charge in fast boot. And by factory I don't mean the one that came with the phone. I had to order one on eBay to do what you're describing... Charge in fastboot...

Again ...I really hope I'm wrong here and just remembering incorrectly

Good luck my friend
[Droid Ultra General] thenameisnigel:
Well, I rebooted fastboot and it says Battery OK now so it seems like it's charging. Either way, if it stops working, I'll just send it back to Moto since I'm in warranty.

---------- Post added at 06:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:47 PM ----------

In the link in the OP where I got this method from, people said they were successful, so it doesn't hurt to try. Well, it actually does hurt to try, but you catch my drift. :D

---------- Post added at 07:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:48 PM ----------

Okay, 1 hour later and I'm still at Battery LOW (Charging).

Unable to proceed because the battery doesn't want to charge.

Does anyone have the SU6-7 FXZ because it looks like I won't be getting anywhere until I get recharged.

Edit: Found it.
[Droid Ultra General] kitcostantino:
are you charging on a usb port or wall.charger? my dev maxx would charge using both, but the amps (or lack thereof) of a usb port take forever to get the battery back up. also, if ya have a friend with a turbo charger, they charge fast-er. (mini at zero takes an hour, as does the Turbo). Good luck.
[Droid Ultra General] thenameisnigel:
I was attempting via a wall charger first but that got me nowhere, it didn't actually start charging until I plugged it in to a USB port. That's when I got Battery OK (Charging) but rebooting and entering fastboot again gets me Battery LOW
[Droid Ultra General] kitcostantino:
yeah, that sucks. good luck dude.
[Droid Ultra General] chuck864:
I've looked through the scripts to see what this does exactly but I'm not familiar with python. Is this a method to get root or just to downgrade to su5.24(which is still 4.4.4)?
[Droid Ultra General] thenameisnigel:
Downgrade and according to the OP, it's de-odexed and rooted.
[Droid Ultra General] pizmak:
But that still would be bootloader locked, right? Can we then use sunshine to unlock bootloader, or is this to new software?
[Droid Ultra General] jrk190:
I'd try this if I had something other than the Maxx that was usable right now...
[Droid Ultra General] chuck864:
I believe the bootloader will still be locked from what I've read on the Russian site. Also I believe sunshine uses a file to unlock the boot loader that isn't in 4.4.4. I could be wrong though. Hopefully I am. Maybe with root it can be made to work either way.

http://www.amazon.com/Fastboot-Motorola-Factory-Atomic-Market/dp/B00KYVEM1I

Mind you, the team black hat factory adapters would be better, but in 3 generations of phones, I think people have forgotten all about those. Either way, if someone pulled this off on a mini, they had to have a factory cable or adapter, as the battery is tiny. (I own one). Gonna dig more and see if I can find those kicking around.
[Droid Ultra General] thenameisnigel:
That is correct. Couldn't charge so I couldn't go to the next step. If anyone has an Ultra/Maxx/Mini that they're willing to risk, you can do it but I feel that this isn't worth destroying your phone.

Edit: At least until now people who aren't the OP does this successfully.
[Droid Ultra General] kitcostantino:

[Droid Ultra General] thenameisnigel:
Nope and I'm pretty sure the Ultra doesn't support wireless charging.
[Droid Ultra General] kitcostantino:

Will this help you?

Also, you are right about the ultra. You could probably buy an ultra battery on eBay, or even upgrade the battery to a maxx one, and add the wireless charging module, and a new back. (I like taking phones apart if ya couldn't tell by my thought process).
[Droid Ultra General] chuck864:
Correct me if I'm wrong but couldn't you just turn your phone off and plug it into the wall charger and let it charge?
[Droid Ultra General] carbonat87:
For those who stuck in QDLOAD mode

If you were trying Crash's rooting method but it failed and your Droid is stuck in qdload 9008 mode, you can unbrick it by using this package. I don't know if it's compatible with Droid Ultra or Droid Maxx but it's 100% compatible with Droid Mini. After flashing your phone will try to boot up into system and if it's broken (stuck on Moto logo) you should be able to manually reboot it into fastboot mode.

Here is a good read on the security of our devices and why hacking them has become so difficult. It also explains why sunshine doesn't work if it used a trustzone certificate that has been removed to unlock the boot loader.

[Droid Ultra General] pizmak:
I did try this method and yes: I have root, yay :victory:

I have made a factory cable so I would not have to stop the process and charge the battery few times in the middle.

I modified the python script to program the whole system partition in one go, it took about 9hours and few minutes.

Unfortunately the system partition is still write protected, i cannot modify anythnig on it.

And if anyone asks, sunshine does not work (tried 3.0.7 and 2.8.5).

Anyway I call this a win, I got root :)

How to mod a system img
[Droid Ultra General] pizmak:
My phone model is droid maxx (32gb)

I must say that the write protect is a pain in the ass.

I have got root, but I cannot change anything in the system, I wanted to remove the horrible boot sound, I wanted to install xposed framework, wanted to remove the verizon bloatware, I cannot do any of these.

I can mount the image in my linux machine and modify it, but then flashing it to the phone takes 9 hours in the QHSUSB_DLOAD mode, perhaps if the changes are not that big I could get away with flashing only modified parts of the partition, since it is going to be split into 16MB parts anyway, I may give it a try after the weekend
[Droid Ultra General] bigv5150:
Root with WP on is useless what can you really do with it. You can't change any system files. No tether hack no xposed. About all you can do is run a few apps that require root. If this process took 9 hrs. And this what I got I would be pissed.

How is the root/WP on the Maxx or Turbo different in any way?http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=59716439&postcount=1235
[Droid Ultra General] pizmak:
True, but it is better than nothing :p

I have just prepared and flashed another system. I removed this annoying boot sound, installed the xposed framework and added the calendar.apk back (somehow it was removed from the russian firmware).

I splited the system into 16MB parts and compared to the files before my modifications, it turned out that only 11 of 132 were modified so I only flashed these 11 files, It took ~45min.

I will look into this exploit, perhaps we can use the same thing in our droids to disable write protection, would be great
[Droid Ultra General] aviwdoowks:
Are you going to post your mods to the root method and step by step instructions?
[Droid Ultra General] pizmak:
It is not rocket science :P

basically follow these steps

1. do the things from the first post in this thread (from russian forum) to have the rooted 5-24 system

2. merge the system partition into one file (system001 - sustem132)

3. mount that image via loop device (write mode): mount -o loop,rw system.image /mnt/temp

4. modify the mounted partition to your liking (change boot animation, add xposed)

5. unmount the image

6. split it into 16MB files (132 files like the original one from 4pda.ru)

7. generate md5/sha1/whatever checksums of the original 132parts and your modified 132 parts, compare and note the different ones

8. modify one of the python scripts from the 4pda.ru, for example qdloadSYS1 and put into the variable BOOT_PARTITIONS only the parts that were different than in the russian forum and run the same procedure as in the initial step (first brick the phone, then flash, but only run the one script that you modified)

to be on the safe side I would suggest to use a factory cable for this, as then the phone will be powered from your PC via the usb cable (will not drain the battery during the process, during the flash programing the usb charging does not work!!!)

this is a pain in the ass, but it works and it is currently the bast we can do, I do not want to spend a lot of time on this, so I will not create any automation of this process, because I do not plan to do this too often.

but further developments will not, maybe your phone is broken. If I buy a new I will try again, and hope to get to bypass Write Protect

PS

I am the author of this method

at the request of this board, I completed the method that gets the root with minimal changes to the original firmware, now I have laid out to develop the first version, where I started, the integrity of the system 100% before it was damaged by 10-15%.

but I can no longer continue developm, and made the product fee as tofu but unfortunately I broke the phone, and can not be repaired, so further work on the project can not,

But he was able to continue if the amount collected for purchasing and delivery.
