what has that got to do with anything ? neither is G Pad 7 and although the update was due in April, so far nothing

it doesnt have anything to do with a status or performance but with a planned schedule
[G Pad 8.3 General] Impromark:
I would agree that tablet updates are lower on the LG totem pole than their phones - especially with their G4 announced this week, most of their resources would be applied there over a bunch of relatively low-rent products like our beloved G-Pads.

At least we know they ARE getting this update. Patience is key after all. Anyone remember the length of time between the announcement that our G-Pads would be getting KitKat, and when it finally did?

First wave update go to new devices

Second to last year flagship

This is pattern for all OEM
[G Pad 8.3 General] DeanGibson:
This is not Windows

Because there are lots of current apps that do not have the three dots.

This is not Windows, where I have to update all my apps because some bright-eyed developer changed the UI. Especially since the new UIs are not better in the opinion of many. Including the STUPID "floating buttons".
[G Pad 8.3 General] Brunoams:
That's fine that not everyone agrees. I also like the cm's why of handeling this, you may or may not have the menu button and most of the apps adapt its interface to the buttons' existence. If LG gives the option of changing the buttons layout and so on, they could simply give both options of having menu and recents button.

What is strange right now is being May and we're still waiting for the official update...

LG G PAD 8.3 LTE VK810 Lollipop Update

http://csmgdl.lgmobile.com/dn/downloader.dev?fileKey=FW1C0KL032R7A3O65BE508U/VK81035A_08.kdz
[G Pad 8.3 General] Stu C:
Wow, the VK810 is US only (I think) and normally the last model to get updated... is the v500 update coming soon to the US and (more importantly ;) ) to Europe?
[G Pad 8.3 General] murph:
OMG this is so &^$%# awesome....

...except my VK810 just died 3 days ago. Won't charge or turn on. Waiting on warranty replacement :(
[G Pad 8.3 General] Stu C:
I've just been speaking with LG support in UK, and was told that there is a delay in releasing the firmware here "due to an issue with Googles coding causing unwanted operation of the device". Not sure if this only applies to Europe and UK, or all regions (he indicated it was a UK/Europe issue, and devices are different across regions, but I though all v500 models were the same). Possible release next month, but can't promise.

Might be real, might be fud, might be a new version coming based on 5.1.1 with the memory leak resolved.

[MENTION=426561]scrosler[/MENTION]

Lg Pad 8.3 Verizon Vk810 New Lollipop update is here. Are you interested in making a flashable pre rooted zip and maybe clean Rom?

Although I do realise that you have closed the forum and supposingly further development on this device but maybe the new Lollipop gives you the push to change your mind.

What do you reckon?

It is perfectly fine if you do not wish to continue it and we all respect your choice!
[G Pad 8.3 General] Impromark:
That's great news. Now if they can just get the lead out for the US V500..!

[G Pad 8.3 General] roirraW "edor" ehT:
No luck on the VK810.4G with neither:

1. LG_One_Click_Root_by_avicohh v1.3 with GUI.exe

2. LG_Root_Script_by_avicohh v1.2 (The old script method - try this if the Graphic UI vaersion didn't work).exe

or

3. #2 with the replacement LG_Root_Script - replace in LG_Root_Script_by_avicohh v1.2 when using for G3

I even went ahead and manually installed SuperSU after all three tries with no luck, couldn't update binary of course.

Might try one more thing and then will downgrade to 11A or 24A and re-root etc.

---------- Post added at 02:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:20 PM ----------

No problems reflashing the 24A_00 KDZ with LG Flash Tool 2014 in CSE mode after having used it to flash the 35A_08 KDZ also in CSE mode.

---------- Post added at 02:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:08 PM ----------

Wow, the 35A_08 bootloader (aboot.img) is only 1,048,576 bytes. The bootloader for 4.2.2 (11A I think) is 2,097,152 bytes. :( Hopefully this doesn't mean we can't use the old bootloader with official Lollipop since then we might not be able to use TWRP unless someone comes up with another loophole.
[G Pad 8.3 General] TheForceUnleashed:
So you were able to downgrade to 24A from the Lollipop without problems? Hopefully if the 24A supports the 4.2.2, then 35A plays well with it too.

Then again, someone needs to actually try it.
[G Pad 8.3 General] roirraW "edor" ehT:
35A_08 does not work with the 4.2.2 bootloader (aboot.img). I'll have a ROM to flash here http://xdaforums.com/lg-g-pad-83/development/vk810-4g-official-lollipop-5-0-2-35a08-t3113607 when it's ready. Read the OP if you're currently rooted on TWRP and want to update to this and root by flashing the latest SuperSU.zip, and don't mind temporarily losing the ability to get into TWRP except by re-flashing the 4.2.2 aboot.img, and then you'd have to reflash the 35A_08 aboot.img in order to boot the ROM again. I'll make it as easy as possible eventually.

Maybe someone will discover another loophole. Probably not me, though.

Yes you can flash whatever KDZ you want (downgrade, upgrade) still, and still flash whatever from custom recovery that you want as long as you temporarily downgrade your bootloader and then if you want to boot back into 35A_08 Lollipop, you'd have to reflash it's proper bootloader.

I was wandering if the backup utility that LG has in the tablet settings is good and if it would restore, wifi network settings as well as passwords, from email accounts?
[G Pad 8.3 General] Fullmetal Jun:
Yeah it works and it even restored data of games which don't have cloud sync!

Only thing in lollipop is that the there's no longer a backup app, but backup option is located in settings!
[G Pad 8.3 General] FUSIONdev:
No, it doesn't work in v500 with lollipop rom.
[G Pad 8.3 General] :
This is getting ridicoulus. There is a fully working version of Lollipop for southeast Asia for almost two months now. Every other LG tablet has its update by now. Only the v500 is still waiting. I really don't get it...
[G Pad 8.3 General] bogdan109:
For me it is last tablet from LG who i buy it. This V500 was one of the top tablet in 2014 and i wanted to much then, but now i want to sell because 2 big problems : poor gamma light and unmount SD without my intervention. For exemple, i listean some music from sd card and stop without warn me. I tested 4 SD CARDS various OEM but results are the same : alone unmont SDCARD and all aplications who use SDCARD stop working.. Shame on LG for this and for lack of updates. I know this : rare= god ore very good but on LG it is : rare=bad=long time to wait for nothing.
[G Pad 8.3 General] Brunoams:
This week I sent a question to LG Portugal through the LG website and the day after they called me regarding the update. I was told that there is no information weather our V500 will be in fact updated to lollipop (at least in Portugal).

Despite the lack of information I'm glad that they have this level of support by contacting me by phone.
[G Pad 8.3 General] KiljoyMcCoy:
Been using the Asian update and have had no problems with my SD cards unmounting. Don't see a problem with gamma either. I use it mostly for reading comics and gaming. Really didn't have a problem before update either. Usually only buy nexus so I can change Roms with ease and be updated. So far have been happy I bought this tab.

Everything on the Asian update has been working great minus apps not made for my region. Hope we get a m release though to make the SD card more useable though.
[G Pad 8.3 General] FandangoL:
What do you mean with this?
[G Pad 8.3 General] Fullmetal Jun:
Like Qvoice and 2-3 more apps which can be disabled! Lol
[G Pad 8.3 General] el Filou:
You don't have crushed blacks (impossible to see details in shadows/dark areas) in pictures/videos? That's been a problem of the G Pad 8.3 since the start (at least for the first units, I didn't follow the issue afterwards.) If you don't have it, I wonder if it was fixed later in hardware and you have a later production model, or if they finally fixed it in firmware with Lollipop (which would be awesome).

I bought mine in january 2014 and it has the problem.
[G Pad 8.3 General] Impromark:
Mine was purchased in November 2013 and also had the problem, which was not fixed by KK. Wait, have the various custom ROMs fixed it? I use mine as a work device and can't mount a custom ROM, so I've never looked too much into it.

I think we've been more than patient in waiting for LP on our devices. The hardware is still competitive with many current tablets and unleashing LP on Western-bought devices would not be a huge risk at this point. Methinks they are waiting for other countries to contribute the needed details for apps that are region-specific, and since it's a tiny priority for all these countries that aren't even selling it anymore, it's taking forever to gather what they need. I think they should just jump to it and give us LP, and wait for region-specific app updates later (I mean, who here REALLY uses the remote control app?)...

[G Pad 8.3 General] el Filou:

[G Pad 8.3 General] el Filou:
I asked LG Mobile USA and UK on Twitter, reminding them that Asia had received the update two months ago, but no answer. I could ask the official support to see if they have information but I'm sure they'll say that they don't know which is probably true. :(

I suspect LG will now use the 18 month updates period recommended by Google as an excuse to bail out of releasing Lollipop for the rest of the world for this device. This is infuriating. :mad:
[G Pad 8.3 General] aspide77:
I've asked to the LG italian customer service about update Lollipop on V500 (Gpad8.3) in EU, referring to the update in the Asia Market.

they replied as follows:

"Dear Sig.xxxx,

Thank you for contacting Customer Service LG Italy.

With regard to your request, we inform you that at present we have no information about the release of the update to Android 5.0 for the model G Pad 8.3 V500

This information will be disclosed when available, through the usual channels of communication, including the Official Facebook page of LG Italy and our Press Room you can visit the following website:

[...]

No problem for me on sd card unmount, and dark places in video is much better then earlier, no need for + light on mx player.. Android 5.0.2

[G Pad 8.3 General] tmohammad:
Why is it so difficult? I just cannot understand what the problem is.

The work has been done... all you have to do is release it in the EU.

Its obvious it works as those that have unofficially installed say it works!

Why are LG so pesistent into shooting themselves in the foot? :( :confused:
[G Pad 8.3 General] Impromark:

[G Pad 8.3 General] el Filou:
It is not an official ROM for the other regions. My G Pad is still in the warranty period for 6 months (I haven't touched the bootloader so it's still good), so I don't want to flash an unofficial ROM in the meantime.

Do you think Europe will ever get the oficial update to lollipop?
[G Pad 8.3 General] meletios:
LG are surely testing my patience here...

Most shocking is the way they are treating customers of their product which is barely one and half years old

and also showing the importance they give to LG Gpad v500 users , simply because the numbers are not huge.

I hopefully have learnt my lesson and its

"Why take the risk , When you can give LG products a miss"

or

" Life's Good without LG"
[G Pad 8.3 General] muiriddin:
With how long this delay has been, especially when the V500 does not have "Carrier Crap" to deal with. I am frankly amazed at how poorly LG USA has done with this lack of roll out. I bought what I thought was a premium device. I expected better support.

I will remember this as I look to future purchases and recommendations I make and it isn't pretty for LG.
[G Pad 8.3 General] Stu C:
I just "chatted" with UK support at LG... no news other than "There is a planned upgrade to lollipop". :(

I asked him to pass feedback up the chain that the customer base is unhappy, and I have just bought a Sony phone over LG because Sony are more reliable for updates! Maybe we should start a petition!!! .......

Can confirm this does also work for "DE" as value. In case it does not work just by changing "ro.build.target_country" it should be tried to change also "ro.product.local.region" in the same way. A reboot is still needed afterwards. Now I have the AccuWeather 6x2 widget instead of KWeather.

[G Pad 8.3 General] timmyd463229:

[G Pad 8.3 General] roirraW "edor" ehT:
About the only alternative I can think of is to use LG Flash Tool 2014 on a Windows PC to flash the 24B KDZ. Before doing so, you can use the built-in LG Backup to backup everything to your external MicroSD card. Then y You can try LG Flash Tool 2014 in "Normal" mode which is like a dirty flash (keeps your data). If the phone doesn't work right after the dirty flash you can perform a Factory Reset which will wipe your internal storage, which is why I suggest making an LG Backup to external MicroSD. Then you can try restoring everything or what you want to from the LG Backup.
[G Pad 8.3 General] timmyd463229:
I don't care if I keep the data. What happened was I was rooted on 4.4.4 then when I seen lollipop was rolling out I unrooted and did a factory wipe and now I'm on 22b and it won't update or root now.
[G Pad 8.3 General] roirraW "edor" ehT:
4.4.4? 22B?

There was no stock LG 4.4.4 for the VS985 and I've never heard of 22B, only 12B, 23C and now 24B, besides the earlier OTAs.

Typos? AOSP/CM? Just want to make sure we're talking about the same device.

So you might as well try the 24B KDZ in CSE mode which will wipe all data including internal storage but will better ensure a clean system, other than the bloat.

If you want to root on 24B, most including me needed to flash the 12B KDZ and OTA all the way up and then root using the "new root method".

One or two others have reported success rooting after flashing the 24B KDZ directly, and some with the one click root script.

Edit: posted info for different device.

Hello,

I am quite new with my qtek 9000 and want to upgrade it to WM6 with GERMAN ROM and eplus is my provider.

I read a lot of this ver confusing stuff and tried to cook a rom from helmi: "helmi_uni_wm6_kitchen_r0".

All went good until I had to choose the operator and VERSION??? Also the language was not right WWD and not GER. And in addition, although I installed it to the right path (C:dev), the temp folder should have been created in c:\dev\helmi_uni_wm6_kitchen_r0\temp but it was always created in c:\dev\temp. I couldn't fix it...

So I guess it is the wrong rom, the installer said, wrong Version or wrong language.

Where can I find a good old german rom, that is stabile and has lots of enjoing things in it??

Or please tell me what I do wrong. I just can't be THAT difficult... or??

THANXXX a LOT for helping...
