Verify - this root method is the ONLY one that worked!

Thanks again for this, i tried 4 other rooting options from APKs, to KINGO ROOT, to Super one click variants.. nothing worked. I have the ATT LG-V495 8.0 and it is successfully rooted with KING ROOT (not KINGO!!).

Any idea where to get a custom ROM for this version? i have exhausted all forums, and only see the V490 and V496. i am afraid to attempt those as i have not put on the Recovery yet. any links would be appreciated, as Cyanogenmod has nothing for this...

thank you!

imageprep-v490

Hi all!

Here is a big problem.

Yesterday install imageprep-v490 recovery,upshot pictures.

last image in the black display,no boot.no recovery,no download mode.

Android : 5.0.2 lollipop

I'm sorry my English is bad.
[G Pad 8.3 General] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Hi! Google "QHSUSB" and you'll find guides to recover from it. The guides will list a special driver you'll have to install, and a special program. Normally the guides also require a TOT, which I'm guessing you won't be able to find for the V490. I haven't tested but it's possible you could use something like Windows LG Firmware Extract, extract a KDZ if available for your V490, and use the special program to flash the particular extracted partitions that the guide(s) mention.

I don't have a V490 so I can't advise further - but using the special drivers/program and a TOT file are how to recover from that on any LG device. I've done so on a VS985 G3 twice.
[G Pad 8.3 General] Bocy7:

It might help me?

kdz unpacked,no img file.There is bin file.
[G Pad 8.3 General] roirraW "edor" ehT:
In this case, bin is the same as img. You can rename them from .bin to .img if you need or want to. They're the same thing. You might have noticed if you used the Windows software's merge system bin files feature that it merges them into a single system.img. Just rename aboot.bin to aboot.img, etc, if you must.

Like I said, the two times I did this on my VS985 G3, I used the TOT file but TOT files only have a couple more partitions than KDZs, so hopefully the partitions that KDZs contain is good enough.

Then after you follow the QHSUSB recovery guide, in the end you should be able get back your Download mode, and flash the full KDZ with LG Flash Tool 2014. Good luck!

This is one of the main guides I used: http://xdaforums.com/lg-g2/general/fix-unbrick-lg-g2-stuck-qualcomm-hs-usb-t2933830

Actually, it must've been a different guide I followed. The above guide seems to have you flash the entire set of partitions. The reason the guide I followed recommended not doing that is that it takes a REALLY long time. The guide I followed instead listed particular individual partitions you needed to flash using the same tool, after which your Download mode is restored and you can just flash a full TOT (or in your case probably KDZ) as normal.

Here's one of the other guides I looked at, the third picture attached to the post lists the partitions I flashed. http://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/general/unbrick-lg-g3-qhsusbbulk-qualcomm-9008-t3072091. The list of partitions to flash is on the right side of this picture:

Don't worry about if your KDZ doesn't have laf.img. Every device is different. My VK810 4G doesn't have laf either. Laf is normally download mode but sometimes the download mode is included in the bootloader (aboot.img).

You'll have to choose the correct chipset for your device. I don't know what the answer is to that off the top of my head.

B2bsupportlg application error:

1 Partition.txt doest not exist.Please extract the file from the total binary

2 ERROR - MAX number of partition
[G Pad 8.3 General] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Alright, I see what's going on. I took a closer look at this and it appears that the BoardDiag v3.99c software creates the partition.txt when it extracts the TOT - so that's why you need to use the BoardDiag software to extract the partitions. Not only that but it actually names the partition images .mbn, not .bin or .img.

See the attached screenshot.

The partition.txt it creates for the TOTs and KDZs available for my devices likely wouldn't be the correct one for your V490.

The good news is I also tested extracting a KDZ with BoardDiag and besides extracting it, it also created the partition.txt. Mind you I haven't tested flashing these with BoardDiag to a QHSUSB_BULK 9008 mode device, but the fact that it extracted it and created the partition.txt gives me a lot of hope that it's possible to use it this way.

So delete what you extracted with the Windows LG Firmware Extract program and re-extract the KDZ you used with BoardDiag instead.

[G Pad 8.3 General] roirraW "edor" ehT:
That's because starting with Lollipop, OTAs check if the system partition had ever been modified, which even when you unroot, it still leaves the partition modified from how it came.

Not enough interest on the development side of his device.
[G Pad 8.3 General] googlephone:
Because LG released two generations of GPad 7/8/10.1 with almost identical specs. Not to mention there are different carrier models. Development interests are distracted if there are ever some interests. So I wouldn't expect much development.
[G Pad 8.3 General] Smittiegee19:

[G Pad 8.3 General] googlephone:
I have the v410 too. Only the 2014 generation gpads get actual development support, the v400/v410. At that time they were the only two gpads, after the higher end gpad x 8.3.

After that, in 2015 LG released more gpad models with almost same snapdragon 400/410 cpu and 1gb ram. No upgrade in specs at all so not many people buy them, including v490.

In 2016, LG released the GPAD III/X 8.0 (v521/v522/v525) with snapdragon 617 octa core cpu and 2gb ram. I expect good support for them. Actually hundreds of thousands of t-mobile customers get the gpad x for free in the past week. Large user base and better specs will promote development.

I have two Nook Simple Touches one with and one without glowlight. Both are rooted, but I have been working mainly on the glowlight. I have it set up just the way I like it and am trying to avoid all the hassle of setting the non-glowlight version the same way. So here is my question. If I backup the glowlight and restore the backup to the non-glowlight model, will that work? I thought the firmware was the same except for the glowlight controls. Perhaps it will realize that there is no glowlight to control and work just fine. Does anybody know for sure?
[Nook Touch General] Deafcyclist:
It is my understanding that these backups are unique to each devices. You shouldn't be able to restore any other device's backup even if it is the exact same model. Be careful about attempting anything like that.
[Nook Touch General] :
Because the Nook Touch and the Nook Touch Glow use the same update file for the most recent software (1.2.1), this would work just fine - except for part of what [MENTION=2253626]Deafcyclist[/MENTION] said above about the serial numbers. However, not all of what he said is true; you can, in fact, restore a backup made on one Nook to another. The only time the serial number duplicate would matter is if the device on which you made the backup is still registered with B&N. If it's not, the only real problem is the WiFi MAC address. This must be changed for both devices to be able to connect to the same WiFi network at the same time. Thankfully, [MENTION=5633873]dumalkin[/MENTION] has discovered a way to do this; see the link below.
