Root AT&T LG G Pad F 8.0 [LG- V495] for Android 5.0.2 [Lollipop]

As per OP for Android 5.02 using KingRoot_4.0.0.233_release_2015050.apk. During the root install, the AT&T LG G PAD F 8.0 device prompted me to either decline or accept to "Allow Google to regularly check device activity for security problems, and prevent or warn about potential harm.", which I always declined.

Root install went to 100% without a pause. Root Checker ver 5.5.1 from joeykrim does verify root: "Congratulations! Root access is properly installed on this device! Device: LG-V495, Android Version 5.0.2"

I was able to install Busybox prior to attempting to upgrade SuperSU binaries.

Problems:

1. SuperSU binaries repeatedly fail to update regardless of rebooting and trying again and again..

2. ES File Explorer cannot gain root access.

3. Chainfire's PlaysStore app,[root] FlashFire, when opened reports that "Root access could not be acquired, or you are not running either SuperSU or CM SU."

Although joeykrim's Root Checker did verify root, in actuality this does not seem to be a functionally working valid root. Uninstalling KingRoot 4.0 and re-running Root Checker reports "Sorry! Root access is not properly installed on this device."

I then did a hard reset (Factory Reset). where android upgraded and optimized 134 apps, before rebooting into stock setup exactly like the first time boot when taken new out of the box.
[G Pad 8.3 General] mingkee:
Kingroot works, but I prefer Chainfire SuperSU.
[G Pad 8.3 General] thefoss:
Agreed. Any workaround for rooting with another method, or installing SuperSU?

Rooted with Kingroot & replaced it with SuperSu using this script. No computer required just make sure you have Terminal Emulator installed!

Download the file attached and extract it

Put the mrw folder on the root of the sd card

Open Terminal Emulator and type:

su

grant terminal emulator root access

Next type:

sh /sdcard/mrw/root.sh

The script should then run and work it's magic. After it's completed SuperSU should open up and prompt you to update the binaries. Update the "Normal" way and reboot afterwards.

And that's it! :good:

Hi, i encountered same problem but i figured out how its works. First install all drivers, after that turn off your tablet. Press volum down and plug it to your pc and wait to install the drivers. Its take about 3-4 minutes. You will see the progress aat the bottom of your pc display. After install you may start kdz updater and do what you want to do. Hope its helpfull.
[G Pad 8.3 General] js0n:
Thank you!

I figured this out also, the drivers comes with lg suite thats on the tablet.

However the installation for lg suite did not popup untill i exanged both USB cable and port in PC.

[G Pad 8.3 General] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Do you have the IMEI of the device, as in on the original box it came in or on T-Mobile's website? If so, try http://devtester.ro/projects/lg-firmwares/ and put the IMEI in there to try to find your firmware. I believe the site also has instructions how to use LG Flash Tool 2014 on a Windows PC to flash it via USB.

Try the driver from http://devtester.ro/projects/lg-firmwares/drivers.php. Install the driver, reboot the PC, put the tablet in Download mode with the original USB cable via a USB 2.0 port. It can take up to 10 minutes to load the driver the first time you plug it into a different USB port. Check in Windows' Device Manager for when it shows up in the Modem section.

[G Pad 8.3 General] roirraW "edor" ehT:
There may be other builds out there for other languages, but I don't know what to tell you since I would think they would all work as long as you have a V490.

CZ is probably Czechoslovakian

You'd have to look up all the other languages, I don't know them off the top of my head.

Try googling for:

LG V490 KDZ

If you're looking for English you'll probably have to look for one that says US or EN. Since I don't have this device, I can't be much more help. Sorry, just thought I'd answer what I do know. :)

Welp bricked my second gpad f 8.0 496 by just trying tovflash my kdz. Don't know where I went wrong but after i t got to 100% it rebooted and stood black. Holding power does nothing. Holding vol up while plugging in does nothing either.

Maybe flashing v49020a_00.kdz was a bad idea. I was trying to get back stock to return the tablet to Tmobile but it's not even giving me anything on screen but my pc recognizes it when I plug in and out via USB.. Hmmmm

Crap was I really supposed to flash v49610b_00.kdz.???

I'm really new to lg and don't know where I got the 490 idea to flash.. I thought i read that somewhere it was the one I needed from Tmobile. ..

Am I gonna be able to recover from this mess or am I screwed.
[G Pad 8.3 General] roirraW "edor" ehT:
In Windows Device Manager, does it list your device as QHSUSB_BULK? If so, Google that and you should find directions to recover.

Might be in the modern or ports section.

Hi, people!

I need help with my V490... Actually I tried to root it with One Click Root... Terrible idea. After the process competed, the tablet won't boot up anymore, it only stays on the first screen with the LG logo. Note that it doesn't keep rebooting, it's frozen on that screen. So... I can't turn it off and access the download mode, cause the only option to access it is turning it off and turning it on with the power up button pressed and pluging in the usb cable and there's definetely no way I can turn it off cause the battery is fixed inside it.

So, I'm completely stuck... The only thing I can do is hard reset, but doesn't fix anything...

Already tried everything with the LG Mobile Support Tool, even the Upgrade Recovery "thing" (saw this on some sites) that we plug it in after it asks. But only receive the message that the tablet isn't fully charged... even after hours on the wall charger.

Please... I only need to access the download mode. Anyone have a solution or at least some other way I could try?

Thank you very much in advance for any input.

---------- Post added at 07:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:56 AM ----------

Ok... Probably cause I just posted the question I did the trick. Lol

I don't know exactly what I did but... I held the power + volume down buttons, so the screen went black (it rebooted). Ok... just released them all and pressed again but now with the volume up button. Then the screen booted up the LG logo and then I released and pressed again power + volume up button. The tablet went all black. I didn't released the volume up button, just got the usb cable e plugged it in... Voi la! The download mode appeared. After hours and hours trying it... I finally made it... Don't know exactly how, but made it...

Well... So I replied my own question just for the records. Maybe someone find this useful someday.

Difference in Rooting LG G PAD 8 ( V490 & V495 ) ?

I have a LG G PAD 8 ( V495 v5.0.2 Kernel 3.4.0+ ) but notice root thread instuctions for V490 model. Is it safe to use the same instructions on my V495? Thanks for the support, appreciate the help.

I have rooted the v495 twice by two different methods and both are fairly simple.. First time I used the LG one click method on my PC, witch I will go find links and post for ya soon as I can.. Second time I used Kingroot apk v4.8.1 and then used

*Super-Sume Pro v8.1* to install SuperSu and uninstall Kingroot and clean up all of its implementations, Now it's very important to use *v8.1 Super-Sume Pro* because anything newer than that will just hang at the first stage...

Hope this helps..

I so the same thing. I revert to 4.4.2 and i was able to root and install philz. But in that case you must format all (data, cache, dalvik cache and syatem) before u inatall cm12. Thats important.

Ok, reverted to 4.4, installed recovery, flashed your cm version.. everything went fine, no errors, BUT.. Now all I have is a fastboot menu (didn't even know that this device do support fastboot^^) where I can reboot, reboot bootloader or power off.

Tryed to do oem unlock, but nothing changes. The volume button "shortcuts" aren't working anymore so I cant enter neither download mode or recovery, and the system does not start. Only fastboot :( Maybe I can flash another system image to recover from here, but how do I convert a kdz to a fastboot flashable system.img? :)

Before install, have you make a full wipe (data,cache,dalvik and format data)?

Cannot find much info on these tablets have 5.0.2ver, desparately need recovery. Tablet is unlocked and rooted, although i do not think the root is complete. I do not want to go no further until i can get a recovery for it. I need to get rid of the att bloatware and a slim rom to use hotspot and tether options which i cannot do at this time because i am using DEFENSE MOBILE.COM as carrier. ATT has it set up to use thier service and cannot find a way around that. have tried hotspot apps from playstore and they dont work. any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.
[G Pad 8.3 General] MAROCANU:
Hi, you can try this topic. Follow exactly. Choose PHILZ recovery. I have v490 but I think it's working. For full root you can try with this zip.

How to:

1. Download Terminal from play store

2. Download the zip and extract in the root of PHONE CARD (not sdcard)!!!!

3. Open Terminal and enter su, when prompt press allow.

4. Type: sh sdcard/mrw/root.sh

It may display come error, but it will go further.

After this SuperUser will be installed un steag of kingroot and you will have full root. Don't forget to update the SuperUser binary and restart your tablet.

Hope this is helpfull.

I've actually sent a request to a moderator for our own dedicated section so the info that's been gathered and new questions can be better organized.

http://xdaforums.com/lg-g-pad-83/general/gpad-f-8-0-request-forum-section-t3353353

What I'm trying to find out are the differences between the V490 and the V495... is it just software (as in carrier bloatware) or are their actual hardware differences?

Also these devices aren't strong in memory capacity... so understanding how to free up memory is going to be helpful. Does that mean root and using Titanium to shut down and lock out unnecessary programs running in the background? Or does that mean a wipe and flashing a clean, bloatware-free ROM?

I also feel that giving ROM chefs a place to reposit ROMs will result in someone doing so.

We just need a place to gather the answers and other info and where questions like I just asked don't get lost in catch-all threads. I encourage you all to contact a moderator and request a section for this device, and please post support in my request thread.
