Thank U for the guide but can I just flash a 20b rom via lg flash tool instead of flashing 10a then KK?
[G Pad 8.3 General] Fullmetal Jun:
If u have the kdz, yes! Always choose cse/factory reset option in the flash tool though! U can basically flash any stock kdz with that tool, even rooted kdz!

Hi,

Can you unlock notifications so that the display fully on locked screen ?

Can not find the option.

Cheers.

Hello all,

I just upgraded my german Gpad 8.3 to Android 5 with this kdz-file and the mentioned method. After the clean flashing I had no google apps. If I install gapps with the 436 code it installs the google services successful. When I want to add my google account in the settings, it says that the google services terminates.

Any suggestions about this issue? It is not usable with this problem... :(

Does anyone know if this lollipop update will work with V50020f?
[G Pad 8.3 General] drb01:
I went ahead and it seems to have worked. Only problem was it defaulted to Korean language which was interesting!!

This just won't work. Tried it multiple times... Sometimes gets stuck on boot screen. Sometimes the status and the back/home/recents bars shows up on black screen but is frozen...

Try a Factory Reset? Occasionally even after flashing a KDZ I've had to.

Hi,

I got an issue. When I try to execute the Flash tool, I got a box displaying an error message : "LGMobileDL.dll is missing from your computer".

My computer is running Win7 64bits.

Any solution to solve this problem ?

Thank you.

EDIT

: I'm answering myself, it might help some people. You must unzip

the whole

Flash tool zip archive on your computer before executing the tool, the LGMobileDL.dll file being in that zip. Follow the steps on page 1 of the thread, and it's gonna work flawlessly (I came from KK 4.4.2 V50020f).

Is Lollipop good?

Hi there, how is it? Is this v30A Lollipop good? Do you have any problem with it?

Planning to upgrade my tab here, but confuse for better to choose Lollipop or Marshmallow.

Mine is Kitkat V50020F. Like it so far , not giving me any problem.

Update :

Just flashed following this tutorial, but rom that I flash is Hongkong v50030b. Pad works fine. Thank you for the tutorial.
[G Pad 8.3 General] cplk:
With this method I have upgraded to 30B without any problem, without any hard reset.

HELP!

Hello. Does software version matters? I have a custom ROM and I can't find my software version. I'd really like to install this one, but I don't want to brick my tablet. Please Help
[G Pad 8.3 General] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Flashing KDZs (and TOTs) completely wipes your device: user apps and data including internal storage, and resets your device to completely stock unrooted. It overwrites everything you have on your device right now, so it doesn't matter what ROM you're on our what version.

As long as the KDZ or TOT is made for your particular variant.

WIFI 2.4G Issues

Hello,

does anyone of you have wifi issues on 2.4G?

My Pad does only show my 5G Wifi Network after upgrading (they have different names).

Tried multiple times, with 30a and 30b KDZ.

Tried fresh Install in CDMA Mode with CSE Flash and Upgrade from 20f with 3GQCT and Normal Flash.

With 20d or 20f all works fine.

Edit: After writing this post I found a hint in a german Forum. Wifi Channel 12 & 13 are used in germany but are not shown by this ROM. Does anyone know if it is possible to activate them in this ROM?

Edit2: Found this thread on xda for wifi channel hack on LG G4 for european region. Sadfully I didnt get this to work on my Pad. I do not see the channel 12&13 after applying the changes. Maybe my fault, I dont know.

[G Pad 8.3 General] irvworth:
Hello. I am a complete novice and tried this - all seemed to work OK but installed in Korean, even though i selected English. Can someone please tell me how to fix this?

Update: Figured this out with the help of good old YouTube. Just open settings, go to the language and input option with the "A" icon, choose top option then select your language. Still some korean characters but that's no biggie.

Or install 30b instead, the hong kong version has more English

Performance

Just wondering what everyone thinks is the most performant ROM is for this tablet? I flashed it a couple years ago and it has slowed to a crawl. This was the most current topic here, so wondering if this is a solid ROM for performance on the G pad 8.3?
[G Pad 8.3 General] StuttgartKiwi:
Does anyone have the KDZ file still?

Hi folks, I recently obtained a G Pad 8.3 which is still running Android 4.4. When I check for updates in the settings, it says it's running the latest version, so I think my only option to update it to Android 5 is by flashing it.

Unfortunately I can't find any valid links for downloading the KDZ file and other needed tools - the URLs at http://pkg02.xcdn.gdms.lge.com/ are no longer working.

Would someone be so kind as to share the KDZ file with me - preferably for 30b, which apparently has more English - and also the other tools that I'll need (mentioned in the OP) to flash this? Feel free to send me a PM if needed.

I just want the stock ROM, not rooted or modified in any way.

Thanks!
[G Pad 8.3 General] dark0shark:
I also own a LG GPad 8.3 with Stock Android 4.4.2 installed. Updating with rooting is kind of easier, than working with a PC and kdz files. Here are the steps, I did them all yesterday:

1. Install App "towelroot.apk" from https://towelroot.com/ and run the rooting routine of this app

2. Install "Official TWRP" App from Google Play Store and flash twrp image to recovery partition

3. Install "Quick Reboot" App from Google Play Store

4. Download V50030B_FE103.zip from here

5. Restart into Recovery with Quick Reboot

6. In TWRP choose V50030B_FE103.zip image to flash (in case of errors try once again)

7. Wipe Cache / Dalvik Cache only

8. Reboot with TWRP into System (that might take a long time the first time, be patient!)

9. Enjoy Android 5.0.2 (V50030b)

As this is a Dirty Flash you will keep all installed apps and their configuration, - it worked for me. Additionally you can later flash Magisk / install Magisk Manager to get root administration. Hope that helps...
[G Pad 8.3 General] StuttgartKiwi:
Thanks for the help! However, in my case I need to have a fully stock ROM, meaning not rooted and not running a third-party bootloader.

Fortunately someone in another thread was kind enough to give me a copy of an unmodified V50030b_00.kdz, which I was able to successfully flash onto my G Pad, and now I have Android 5.0.
[G Pad 8.3 General] vimesUK:
Can I follow that procedure if you have had other custom ROM's on the pad...? At the moment my wife has CDroid on the Pad but the lag and battery drain is pretty bad and I was thinking of just going back to the std ROM you have linked.

I assume that I should only need to start from point 5, having already got TWRP and root installed etc.

Wow it is slow to download V50030B_FE103.zip, understatement there...!

Thanks
[G Pad 8.3 General] dark0shark:
Yes, I think that it will work. I have two v500, one was with stock 4 Android, the other one with lagging crdroid. Both run now fine with stock 5 Android.
[G Pad 8.3 General] vimesUK:
Thanks, that's good to know.

Hopefully it will extend the use of this aged, but still very useful, tablet.

Amazed at how "relevant" this tablet still seems to be . considering its age.
[G Pad 8.3 General] vimesUK:
Worked a treat, so thanks again for that information.

Hopefully it will be a little more responsive and perhaps the battery will last a little longer.

One day I might need to change that, not sure about doing it tho.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] allendj81:
Is "project zero" or "Zero" the code name/nickname for the S6? Like "maguro" was for the galaxy nexus and so on.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] osmosizzz:
yeah its zero. its in the build.prop of the phone stated plenty of times as "zero"
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Protomize:
I had bricked my S6 Edge 128gb yesterday trying to root it and after no solution in the short term went to customer service to get support. In the end they ended up ordering me another phone. I was able to fix my bricked phone by performing a factory reset in the recovery shortly after rendering the incoming phone pointless.... I come home from work today and find this... Not only do I have 2 S6 edges, but one was delivered to me this quickly? T-mobile you've got a customer for life.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] osmosizzz:
pretty awesome. but definitely do return the older one before they charge your card again. and to root the s6 edge, we need to use the regular s6 file. they are essentially the same phone. dont know why there are 2 different root files.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] daraj:
That! and also hide your address on the pic!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] brucipher:
I have had nothing but fantastic experiences with T-Mobile customer service (unlike when I was with Verizon). I know T-Mobile's coverage isn't the best, but it is great where I live, and what they are doing as a company is awesome. I am super happy with T-Mobile (switched to them a little over a year ago after being with Verizon since the late 90s).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] yes_thisis_joey:
I've had amazing experiences every verizon interaction I had. I just switched to tmobile a few days ago and they're just as well. Could just be my area. Plus tmobile has unlimited (2-3g no matter what) 4G DATA! On verizon, you can get 50gb a month if you want.. but you're paying $500+ every month for that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] gunslingerfry:
Huh. They tried to send me a replacement phone and it won't get here for a week and a half. They're also having me send the old phone now. I'm not particularly pleased.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] nviz22:
Anyone having issues with overheating and Wi-Fi calling draining the battery? From what the store said is they charge a $50 restocking fee to replace a device now even if it's the same model, and the manager told me on the phone that they cannot detect overheating on their machines most of the time, so they cannot waive the fee.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] verks:
I had a great experience with T-Mobile. I called them to get an unlock code and they granted it and sent me an email within 12 hours telling me I could unlock it. Well it did not work and they apologized and asked if they could send me a replacement. That was today, I'll have the replacement tomorrow and I then send the old one back. I never had that quick of a turn around with att. Thanks T-Mobile.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] osmosizzz:
finally got mine unlocked. contacted them on twitter. told me to give them the imei and my number . gave them the information, told me id receive and email within 24 hours. 30 minutes later, i go into the unlock app and bam, unlock successful. now using my tmobile s6 edge with my cricket wireless. after trying tmobile for 3 weeks, it works but when in buildings, data and service goes south. glad they were able to unlock my device. A+ for customer service.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] gclancer:
I just switched from ATT to TMO last week and they are great.

Went to ATT store trying to get a S6 Edge at full price and they told me they couldn't sell it to me because they had limited qty. 2 hours later I switched to TMO and never looked back. In fact, I get better LTE reception at work with TMO
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Imran520:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] johny1980:
Wierd they didn't get the old phone from you before replacing.. usually happens to my provider..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] sweets55:
Having a issue with the camera on my S6 Edge. Rep said will ship ya out a new one next day. Love T-Mobile. Everyone should like them since they come out with new things that help save customers money. Then the other carriers usually follow.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] moot1:
I agree. I'm often surprised by how friendly the TMO customer service people are over the phone. I had an issue with my OIS not focusing and TMO promptly shipped another phone to me, with overnight delivery. The associates in store, is a whole other story, but the customer service people over the phone are amazing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] dnkeyhnter:
I agree
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] sweets55:
I know a guy at a tmobile store just from buying so many phones from him. The guy hooks me up and always takes care of me. I just make sure he's working when I go to the store.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] nviz22:
Hey Sweets55, did you order your phone in store? I am trying to get another shipped to me, but idk if it's a warranty replacement? The normal store I went to gave me hassle to exchange my first S6 E 32 GB in White. I went three times, which required multiple calls to Customer Service and Tech Support. Then, the manager changed it out to me, but I do appreciate his honesty since he said that if tech support feels that we should replace it, then I will go with it. I had the same issues, but he wasn't in yesterday. They didn't have stock either, so it didn't help since my second S6 Edge was Black 32 GB since they didn't have stock. I called Tech Support prior and they said my phone was registered as a White under my EIP, but which I paid off in full 5 days after purchase. I don't want a refurbished unit. What can I say to Customer Service or Tech Support? I had to drive 36 miles to go to a store with a lousy gung ho corporate line toting manager to waste 2 hrs of my time. He wanted me to pay up a restocking fee since he didn't feel the phone had any issues. Talk about lousy service for me that is.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] DADDYDC650:
Seriously, don't bother with the retail store. They will try anything possible to prevent replacing your phone. Call T-Mobile loyalty support and ask for a warranty replacement. There are no refurbished S6 Edge being sent out at the moment since the phone was just released. They will send you a brand new replacement without the box and accessories. You'll receive it the next day and if something is wrong with that, they'll send another one to you via next day.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] nviz22:
What if my account has only been active for 6 months? I had T-Mobile prepaid from when I was 15 to 20 and then came back when I was 21 had my own account and then merged on a family plan in October. Will they give me white like my original one was? What about the fact I got black due to a lack of supply at the store? The system for tech support shows White.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] DADDYDC650:
You can ask and they'll put it down on the notes but that's up to the folks in the warehouse to decide. That's what they'll tell you unless you keep at it and let them know how much you really wanted the white s6.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] nviz22:
Will they charge a $5 fee with Jump Warranty? I was told they would want me to take it to a store to get reviewed before with warranty exchanges and was told "we will give you" an exception on a Note device in the past. I'll try to explain how a manager dicked around and took up 2.5 hrs of my time and just made amock of customer service and tech support.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] hamzer11:
Can you tell me how long you had service with T-Mobile? This whole unlock fiasco is causing me a lot of trouble. I purchased a T-mobile edge to use on ATT via Swappa. I tried a third party unlock but it didn't work. I then tried calling in and because I didn't have a t-mobile account, they couldn't help me. They said I have to have an account to get the device unlocked. WTH. I don't get it. The IMEI is clear but they won't unlock it. So I signed up for pay as you go today to create an account but the my T-Mobile section is down. I hope I can get the unlock code now that I'm on their service but I just don't know for sure.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] RevelationOmega:
I have to say, since switching from Sprint to T-Mobile, I've noticed how bad customer service was under sprint comparably looking back. Tmobile has been amazingly helpful, from sending easy phone replacements, complementary no charge WiFi booster AND cel-fi signal booster (usually only one allowed or other), and overall attitude with customer. Best thing so far, I had regular 32GB s6 that had bad recovery, no idea (neither odin nor stock firmware helped during flash) and they sent a new phone replacement. Noticed though, they ordered me the edge s6 64GB completely by mistake and told me it's "our fault but the system says that is what you had, so feel free to keep it, free of upgrade charges over regular s6 unless you would like a regular s6 to be overridden into system." Basically got 64GB s6 edge for 32GB regular s6 price.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] osmosizzz:
wow thats fantastic. you pretty much got a hookup of 190 bucks. I sure would have loved to save 190 when buying my s6e lol.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] RevelationOmega:
Best part was, they didn't seem to mind at all, kind of looking the other way. Got regular because price but I'll take it haha.

Dude you don't get to keep both phones, you gotta either send the old one back, or the new one, don't even open it, send it back or you'll get charged in full for the new one

Thanks

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] kobe_24:
Good for you!

Hopefully they have learned from their mistakes! I use to be a very loyal t-mobile customer until a bill dispute turned me away. I really hated that, because I've always felt t-mobile had more to offer and cost less. I'm kinda back with them (family mobile), so I hope t-mobile customer service keeps up the good work!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Boffanantor:
I worked for T-Mobile cc until September of this year. The shipping speed depends on your insurance. If you have their "Premium Handset Protection" or "Jump" they overnight the phone at no cost or $5 (unless its on backorder). If you don't have insurance AND it's still under manufacturers warranrty, then the cost is $20 and its UPS ground shipping.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Creel711:
Same here, thought my wife was going to kill me for a 800$ brick. But T-mobile sent a new one no questions asked. But in what I want to be as my defense, this is the first phone I couldn't fix. 2 weeks I did every thing possible, still to this day I wonder what was the issue. I mean I need to know it's got me scared to root. I'm lost. But staring at the Samsung logo with no prevail and still no answers, broke this man.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] ULYSES2:
I'm exactly in the same position u are with a brick phone and don't want to try rooting my new replacement phone
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] MindGlitch:
i just joined recently when they had the buy you out of ur provider deal. They really did send us prepaid visa cards for the total amount of the bill. The price they gave us on our old phone to purchase them from us wasnt all that great but neither was the condition of the phone. At any rate, it helped us get away from verizon and their crazy prices and limited spotty service. Now, I've never had a single fail and if i do usually I wait a few seconds and it goes right back to normal (i.e. internet speeds). Now, sometimes I do have to hit airplane mode to kind of reset my internet cause it will just sit there and the sending icon for 4g will be the only arrow the receiving one will not blink, but I know what this is from.

I like it when I called them they say, WELCOME TO THE FAMILY! like a mafia don would ehehe, then they tell me they love me (awww <3 )! I've never had a provider profess their love for me, it was nice! :p
