I'm currently in the middle of the first option. It's detected KingRoot v4.5.0 (which is odd...since I installed iRoot) but It's been sitting on "Processing, please wait" for about twenty minutes.

UPDATE: After waiting another twenty minutes, I killed the app, rebooted the device and tried again. After the reboot, SuperSUMe worked, in that it installed SuperSU and SuperSU was able to update its binary. It did not seem to uninstall iRoot and its associated apps.
[G Pad 8.3 General] roirraW "edor" ehT:
iRoot uses Kingroot, Kingoroot, or whatever it's called. iRoot is the program and app for trying to gain root, Kingroot is the SuperUser app the root method installs once it gains root. SuperSU is a different (superior IMHO) superuser app.

I do know this though.... If you have a Verizon VK815? Do not attempt to root it with either IROOT or VROOT. It most definitely trips knox on the 5.0.2 firmware. JUST DONT DO IT!!! & Have a Fine Navy Day!!
[G Pad 8.3 General] habatchaNow:
Confused

Sorry I am sure this is buried somewhere and i have searched and searched for an answer. I have gotten behind on updating my pad and now am stuck. I am running rooted 22B trying to update to lollipop. Help please!
[G Pad 8.3 General] roirraW "edor" ehT:
You'll have to provide more information. What exactly is your question/what are you confused about? Where are you stuck?

Edit: You can follow my second link in my signature below, to install my ROM which is based on the latest official LG VK810 ROM 36B.
[G Pad 8.3 General] habatchaNow:
First, thank you for all you do with this pad. I was unsure if i could follow your guide from 22B or did i need to be on a later version of kitkat before updating to lollipop? if your guide works from where i am i should be able to follow. Also tried to give you some love $$ but there was an error, something about sellers email?
[G Pad 8.3 General] roirraW "edor" ehT:
You're welcome! Yep, the instructions I give will work no matter what ROM you're on.

Are you rooted and have the latest TWRP v2.8.7.0 installed? If not, follow the instructions in my first thread in my signature below to root and get the latest version of TWRP installed.

Hmmmm, no idea, the donate button is working for me right now. Thanks anyway!
[G Pad 8.3 General] habatchaNow:
Yes I am rooted, with no custom recovery installed. I'm running 22B with kernel 3.4.0. Can i side load TWRP 2.8.7 or do I go through and follow the root process as well.
[G Pad 8.3 General] roirraW "edor" ehT:
My directions are written with being downgraded to 10B first a necessity. To get TWRP installed on anything after 10B requires an additional step.

It's not a big deal, but it can be somewhat of a pain. You even have to perform this step again later once you get on Lollipop every time you want to get back into TWRP.

I recommend just following the guide from the beginning. I like to keep things as simple as possible to avoid confusion. That way I don't have to write into the guide "if this, do that". :)
[G Pad 8.3 General] imilleson:
Yep, KingoRoot 4.62 worked on my Verizon LG GPad 8.3 (vk810) with sim card running Android 5.02 - at first it said failed but proceed after that point and it succeeds. Thanks OP
[G Pad 8.3 General] b52apl:
I have not been able to use either boot to get to TWRP or to boot to 35A. I get "Secure booting error! Cause: boot certification verify" To avoid it, I went from 4.2.2 rooted to TWRP to 35A rooted but I wanted to boot into TWRP. So I put the 4.2.2 boot in and got the error when I tried to boot to recovery.
[G Pad 8.3 General] roirraW "edor" ehT:
But did it still let you get to the stock looking recovery where you choose either factory reset it wipe Cache and it then takes you to TWRP?

I've never had an issue, at least following the directions (and files) I specify in my thread below in my signature (my stickied thread in this section).
[G Pad 8.3 General] b52apl:
It gets to the prompt, but doesn't do anything when you chose factory reset. The boot to 35A that your instructions say to replace the 4.2.2 boot freezes in the Verizon logo with the same error. I'm working around it by rooting 4.2.2 installing TWRP, installing Clockworkmod, flashing 35A and rerooting. Then I hope I can use more of the recovery functionality than I was able to with TWRP. I know TWRP was out there because I ran two online nandroid backups .
[G Pad 8.3 General] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Good luck! It shouldn't make a difference which custom recovery you use, since the same workarounds will be necessary for both getting into custom recovery and then again for getting back into the rooted ROM.
[G Pad 8.3 General] b52apl:
My experience with Clockworkmod on CM11 for Nook HD+ was that you could use it from a regular boot without booting to recovery. The Clockworkmod tool set allowed a lot of features, like flashify, to flash things from a regular session. ROM Manager, ROM Toolbox Pro and the unrelated Rootcleaner allowed me to do a lot of what I wanted to do. I could also restore Online Nandroid backups without booting to recovery. If this functionality works for the VK810 I'll be OK. If not, then I'll have to figure out why my VK810 is unlike all other VK810s.
[G Pad 8.3 General] b52apl:
I think I have found a tool to help with the problems we have with booting to recovery from Kitkat and Lolipop. I hope someone more knowledgeable than me looks at the new FlashFire Tool in the Android Google Play Store. The description says that FlashFire is the most advanced on-device firmware flasher available for rooted Android devices. It can flash full firmware packages from various manufacturers, as well as apply over-the-air (OTA) and ZIP updates - all while maintaining root, and without using a custom recovery. It also offers full device backup and restore functionalities in several formats. Relevant files can be stored on internal storage, SD cards, USB connected storage, or can even be streamed directly to and from your computer using USB or Wi-Fi. It was just released June 1st. The only problem is that you have to have SuperSu from Chainfire with binaries installed for it to work. If it does work for us, it would solve a lot of problems.
[G Pad 8.3 General] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I forget - did you have problems booting to TWRP on KitKat too? I don't have any problems on KitKat at all.

I used to use online backup tools but every once in a while something would break and it wouldn't work right any more until it got fixed, so I stopped using such tools. It was very handy when it did work, however.

About the only way any of us will find out if FlashFire will do the trick is if we test it. :) I'm still working on my super-extended-director's cut KitKat debloat for the VK810 that I've been working on for the past several weeks so I don't know when I'll have time, but once I get done with that, maybe.

Unless I get bored enough since my tablet is in essentially an unseable state (or at least I'm not going to bother setting it back up the way I like until I get the debloat done) at the moment anyway.

Being from [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION], that means a lot.
[G Pad 8.3 General] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I don't want to get your hopes up before I finish testing but good news so far, at least when using FlashFire on the VK810 11A build, directly after using the Stump app to root and then installing SuperSU v2.74 beta 2 (2.68 has problems updating the binaries on the VK810).

So far I've done an "ID" backup from within FlashFire (EFS - backs up IMEI). TWRP on the VS985 G3 includes the ability to back up EFS, but no version of TWRP I've seen on the VK810 has had that, so that's quite handy in case my IMEI gets wiped which has happened to lots of others on LG devices especially when flashing stock or other images.

To be clear, FlashFire doesn't do the backup online. You get it started from within the app but then it reboots into it's own environment, but it's still even more convenient than TWRP.

I also just finished doing a complete Normal backup. I'm doing all my tests to the internal storage, and then copying the backups from the FlashFire folder to my MicroSD card for safe keeping.

I'm going to try flashing my 24B KitKat ROM zip now. Might try the 36B Lollipop ROM zip after. I'll let you know.

Edit: Holy crap, it worked. I was able to tell the FlashFire app to wipe User Data, System Data, System, Cache and Dalvik and also to tell it to flash my VK810 24B ROM zip and it's flashed and working now. Two things that didn't work is FlashFire's option when flashing to inject SuperSU and to try to skip the initial setup. I'm going to revert back to 11A, re-root and try it again this time telling FlashFire to manually flash the SuperSU.zip after the ROM and see if that works. I have no installed TWRP, of course.

Edit 2: For whatever reason, it didn't flash the SuperSU.zip after flashing the ROM. Guess I'm going to have to implement the ROM zip already having SuperSU in it.

Edit 3: I tried with the v2.46 of the SuperSU.zip too. I captured a video of the FlashFire environment doing it's work. At first it looks like it's flashing the SuperSU.zip - it tries, but looking at the FlashFire log it's failing to flash it. Doesn't look hard to implement in the ROM zip - I figured it wasn't but I never absolutely had to before so I didn't previously. :)
[G Pad 8.3 General] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I've got some good news and bad news so far. The good news is I've finally made myself learn how to edit the system.img through Linux - at least, the way I did it worked for me. :D I added busybox and some other things and was able to make a ROM zip that installed SuperSU on it's own.

TL;DR from above, my main aim was to see if I would be able to flash such a ROM zip via FlashFire in order to be on 24A KitKat rooted, since FlashFire's "Everroot" option to inject SuperSU wasn't working, and having FlashFire try to separately flash the SuperSU.zip after flashing my old ROM zip that didn't include SuperSU also didn't work.

I gave [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] my FlashFire log. He couldn't tell much from it so far but he did inquire what Android version I was starting out from, to which the answer is 4.2.2 since it's so easy to root with the Stump app.

I tried FlashFire on 4.2.2 to flash the 4.4.2 rooted ROM zip and it flashed it but the installation of SuperSU part of the ROM zip didn't work, so I KDZ'd back to 11A, rooted, put TWRP on, updated to TWRP 2.8.7.0 and wiped and flashed the same ROM zip and SuperSU installed just fine this time, so there's some kind of problem with FlashFire installing SuperSU at least on the VK810 while on 4.2.2. I may do other tests with FlashFire eventually to find out if the same thing does work coming from later Android versions like KitKat and Lollipop.

That's all I have at the moment - I'll update when I know more.
[G Pad 8.3 General] b52apl:
Where I would like to end up is 4.4.2 with On my Vk810 tablet, I can't boot to twrp from 4.4.2, so I was going to settle for 4.2.2 instead. If 4.4.4 and flashfire get me to where I can do backups and restores , without booting to twrp
[G Pad 8.3 General] roirraW "edor" ehT:
It's weird that you can't boot to TWRP on 4.4.2 as I don't even have to downgrade the bootloader to get into it from stock 24A including the 24A bootloader. Since I already installed TWRP using the 4.2.2 bootloader while I was on 11A.

You tried through an app to boot to recovery, like QuickBoot, just to see?

FlashFire seemed to work fine for backups but I haven't tested restoring then through FlashFire yet.
[G Pad 8.3 General] ryanallaire:
How's it going with flashfire? Any forward movement since June?
[G Pad 8.3 General] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I haven't done any further testing, and I've resigned myself to using KitKat on the VK810 since Lollipop 5.0.2 is really slow on mine.
[G Pad 8.3 General] b52apl:
Flashfire restores work on 4.4. I have 24a rooted with Stump root. However, there is something wierd with the rooted 24a build itself. After a reboot or two, none of the rooted apps with delete app capabilities, like Ultimate Backup, will actually delete apps. The device stays rooted and everything else works. I've tried restoring from a point where I can delete, but it reliably has the bug soon afterwards.
[G Pad 8.3 General] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Interesting. I doubt if I'll have the chance to test that since I'll be uploading the pre-rooted 24A ROM along with mostly updated uber-debloat zip, so I don't commonly delete apps from within the running ROM, although when I do, I just usually use a file manager with root permissions like X-plore File Manager, navigate to root/system/app or root/system/priv-app, delete the appropriate app subfolder, then wipe Cache and Dalvik in TWRP.

Have you tried using a file manager to delete the apps you're wanting to delete?

Does Ultimate Backup require USB Debugging to be turned on to work (just as Titanium Backup does)? If so, have you checked that USB Debugging is staying turned on, as it's common on the VK810 and VS985 (and probably some other LG devices) that after rooting the setting doesn't stick through reboots until you:

1. Turn USB Debugging on.

2. Plug the device into the PC.

3. Manually change USB modes on the device from MTP to PTP and back to MTP.

4. Disconnect the USB cable and the USB Debugging should stay on after you reboot.

what's the difference between this and fxpblog.co builds?

can you enable nightie for cm's buildbots?

any way to convert to f2fs in place instead of wiping? or can I twrp backup, change data to f2fs, then restore /data?

and can you fix 2nd mic on dogo?

thx!!!!!!!!!!

btw, dogo's wifi is half broken, please if you can update the prima drivers, please do it. : )

without proper testing, i will NOT greenlight nightlies - thats why this thread exists.

f2fs is not a requirement, it'll just give you a performance boost. and no, there is no way without wiping.

i need you guys to give this a proper test, and report back with things that are not working, so i know where we are standing.

it looks like:

- 2nd mic not working

- wifi problems ("half broken" doesnt tell me anything. describe the problem(s) precisely and provide logs)

anything else?
[Sony Xperia ZR] nostupidthing:
for wifi, i had problems connecting to the hotel ap, but i'm not there anymore so cannot get some logs.

but at home, i also have problems connecting to the 5ghz channel, basically the phone just cannot find the ap, per suggestion by another forum member, disabling location/gps thing sometimes fix it. i'll trt to get some logs for you.

thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

what handoff issue are you talking about? mobile data disconnect when switching from 4g to 3g sounds perfectly normal to me, but if once on 3g, data NEVER comes back on, then it's a problem, which i don't have, my phone switches from 4g to 3g and back and forth just fine.

(link removed)
[Sony Xperia ZR] sigprof:
This build does not boot (hangs at the "Starting apps" step). I collected some logs after enabling early adb access:

View attachment 20160707-01-boot-fail.7z

(the first logcat is the initial boot after data wipe, the second is another failed attempt after rebooting).

Looking at your changes, I found that you removed the proprietary kickstart binaries (/system/bin/ks, /system/bin/efsks, /system/bin/qcks) for some reason; however, /init.qcom.rc still tries to run those binaries. I tried to take the binaries you removed in commits 58650ca and 24bb04c and put them back to /system/bin, and the system was able to boot:

View attachment 20160707-02-boot-ok-with-kickstart.7z

(these logs were taken with unmodified boot.img, therefore some early output may be missing).

Apparently without those kickstart binaries the modem firmware is never loaded; what was intended to replace them?

Also double tap to wake is still enabled by default, even though it is known to be broken on this hardware (after the screen is turned off, touchscreen stops working until the device is rebooted).

According to my knowledge the developer has integrated Sony framework so you need to install sony apps from play store. If not you can use Pexomod to use sony apps. Just search on XDA you will get it.
