After considerable pain I have rooted my VK810 5.02 and have Supersu.

Thanks to [MENTION=5022682]Hnk1[/MENTION] and others for their posts. I tried them all several times and for several days without success. It just didn't work for my tablet. I also found the instructions to go back to 4.2.2 kind of confusing and difficult so I did not go down that route.

I start with unrooted Lollipop 5.0.2 (VK81035A_08.kdz and flashed with the LG Flash Tool 2014 (attached). Root with iRoot. Then download the Supersu-Me app from the Google play store and run it. Binaries will update and Kinguser is removed.

Here are the instructions:

Flash Unrooted Lollipop 5.0.2

1. Download LG Flash Tool 2014 and VK81035A_08.kdz from this post.

2 Unpack LG Flash Tool 2014 from zip file on your computer.

3. Put your VK810 into Download Mode (power off - Then press power button and volume down button the same time and plug in the usb cable that is connected to the computer) Your screen will show download mode.

4. On your computer, put the VK81035A_08.kdz file in the LG Flash Tool 2014 directory.

5. Run The flash tool.

a) In the first screen that pops up select the VK81035A_08.kdz where the app says "Select KDZ file"

b) Press "CSE Flash"

c) On the next screen just press "start"

d) Select "another country" and "English" on the next screen that pops up

e) Ignore any errors that say "server not found" The app is running properly.

You will now have unrooted 5.0.2

iRoot

1. Download and install iRoot on your computer.

2. On your table, enable Developer Tools by going to settings/about tablet/software info and tapping "Build number" 8 times.

3 Go into "Developer Tools" Toggle the on/off switch, and check "USB Debugging"

4. Go to "Security" under settings and enable "Unknown Sources"

5. Plug the USB cable in.

6. Run iRoot.

7. You'll get a pop up on your tablet having to do with USB debugging. check it and click ok.

8. retry iRoot. It should see the tablet. Let it run. it will install Daimon and some Chinese apps.

9. IRoot on your computer will show a "Root" Button. Click it. It will root your tablet using Kinguser.

10. Unplug your tablet when rooted.

Supersu-Me

1. Download and install Supersu-Me from the Google app store.

2. Install it on your tablet.

3. Open it and press the Big Button. Grant it root access (through Kinguser - it will ask you). It will run and tell you that it is removing KingUser and Installing Supersu. It will then ask you if you want to update the supersu binaries. Click "install" and then "normal"

4. You should get a "success"

5. Go to your apps page on the tablet and remove any remaining garbage Chinese apps.

Your done!

Here's proof (attached).

I am not a pro at this nor an experienced developer. I hope some of you find this useful!

[G Pad 8.3 General] rfarrah:
I had taken the 35A OTA and had lost root. I didn't bother downloading and installing the kdz since I was already on 35A. It took me a couple of tries but this method worked and I am back to being rooted again. Thanks!

Try just leaving it sit for up to 20 or so minutes anyway. Don't touch any Windows dialogs except moving them out of your way, if necessary. Usually these kinds of problems just require patience and it'll resolve itself. Not always but very often.

Actually a dialog box keeps opening telling me the Phone is disconnected from the PC... to which I choose Retry instead of Cancel. It then keeps opening and closing.
[G Pad 8.3 General] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Did you try not hitting retry, like I said just let everything sit and don't touch dialogs except to move them out of your way? Try the original USB cable? Try a different cable? Try a different USB port? Try rebooting the PC?

Can you try on a different PC?

Ignore anything we covered before. It's been a while and I'm too lazy to look back. ☺

[G Pad 8.3 General] myu1402:
i had the same problem as chucklehead (getting stuck at 60%) with a dialog box saying it was disconnected.

I fixed it by installing the LG Drivers

After installing the drivers, windows will try to "Search Windows for Drivers Update", to which I skipped and got it to work.

[G Pad 8.3 General] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I haven't had a problem, but I've only unmounted the Micro SD card once or twice. The ROM this thread references is only for the VK810.4G variant, and isn't compatible with your variant which I think you're talking about the V500, right? Just in case you thought it might.

Thanks for listening. It is my device is the V500. I will try to do what he said.

Already taking advantage of, you know if LG will launch the v5.1.1 version 8.3 gPAD?

This ROM (the topic) is only for V510? (if I downloaded wrong) since I installed it here first:

You're welcome. I'm not sure what you mean (doing what he said).

No, I haven't heard anything about any other updates for the G Pad 8.3, but it seems to be different update schedules for each variant anyway.

I'm pretty sure that link is for the V500; I think the V500 is the same as the international variant.

Which drivers did you use and where did you get them from?

I'm actually still screwed and can't get my tablet rooted again.
[G Pad 8.3 General] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I've previously gotten the drivers which were v2.22 from Verizon's support page for the VK810, but it appears things have changed both there and on LG's support page. Now LG has a v4.02 driver here http://www.lg.com/us/support-mobile/lg-LGVK810#softwareFirmware. I just installed it and plugged my tablet in and it loaded the driver just fine - I haven't tested with flashing or anything beyond just seeing the device in Device Manager.

I still have v2.22 around in case 4.0.2 doesn't work for some reason - let me know if you need it. It's kinda confusing since 2.22 just came out maybe two or so months ago. The same driver package was given for the VS985 LG G3 too: v2.22 for both before, and both now have 4.0.2.
[G Pad 8.3 General] chucklehead:
Ok, here's what I think may be screwing me up completely here. If I'm wrong, please let me know....

I'm think my issues may be due to possibly having the wrong bootloader (aboot.img) flashed. A while back when I started this whole thing I followed the instructions regarding flashing the 4.2.2 aboot in order to do downgrade and root. Once I did all that I may have never installed the proper aboot. Is that possible? Reading through the Viktory ROM post I see the newest aboot is available to flash but since I don't have root (su access) I can't actually flash anything. I'm wondering if that's why I keep getting errors while trying to use the LG Flash Tool also. Maybe it can't actually flash because the wrong bootloader is present.

Sound like it makes sense??

Any chance I can fix that??

I can't even do a factory reset through the phone settings OR through stock recovery.

I get this error:

[IMG="Error"]http://i472.photobucket.com/albums/rr83/chucklehead/Miscellaneous/2015-09-22%2017.21.43-1_zps61qjfb7q.jpg[/IMG]
[G Pad 8.3 General] chucklehead:
First, I never actually flashed the Viktory ROM. I was going to but somehow lost root or couldn't get into TWRP first...which I thought was due to a bootloader flash mishap from another flash... so I tried to start from scratch but couldn't get Flash Tool to work. We had several back and forth posts regarding that. The drivers you posted didn't work for me so I hunted down ones after contacting LG. Those worked letting me actually use the Flash Tool and start from scratch which I subsequently rooted using the method here. Everything worked perfectly.

I'm now rooted but wary of even trying to install TWRP. I don't wish to go off-topic as my main problem has been solved already and I thank you for your help!!

We can discuss flashing TWRP elsewhere.
[G Pad 8.3 General] MonaLisaOverdrive:
First, massive thank you for this part...

...it may help me resolve a different issue that I'm having.

Second, is there a rooted stock Lollipop 5.0.5 image for VK810 that can be flashed using the LG Support Tool? I will if I have to but I'd rather not use iRoot to root my device.
[G Pad 8.3 General] roirraW "edor" ehT:
You're welcome, glad to help!

5.0.2. You can't flash custom ROMs with official LG tools. My ROM in my signature is a completely stock ROM, not even rooted however it's suggested in my instructions to flash SuperSU.zip after flashing my ROM from the latest TWRP v2.8.7.0 or from ClockworkMod Recovery.

In your case, I would flash the 24B KDZ for the VK810 (also in my signature) with LG Flash Tool 2014 (an unofficial mod of a official LG tool, but it still doesn't flash custom ROMs), then root using the Stump app from XDA in brute force mode, downgrade your bootloader to 4.2.2, install TWRP v2.7.0.1, upgrade TWRP to v2.8.7.0, then flash my ROM below, SuperSU.zip, and any or all of the debloat scripts in my ROM thread.
[G Pad 8.3 General] tomalak007:
When I run the Super su me it runs and removes all the iroot stuff but then doesn't install Supersu and I lose root in the process as well. Any ideas?
[G Pad 8.3 General] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I would suggest the same things in my last paragraph in my reply before your last message.

Help!

Everytime I try to flash the rom it restarts my tablet at 95% and then says start up failed. What do I do? Now I can't even go back to what I had before...
[G Pad 8.3 General] RHarper89:
Nobody can help me? I have tried downloading the kdz multiple times. Tried flashing multiple times. It will get all the way to 95% and the restart and say "Start Up Failed" Please use the Verizon Software Repair Assistant to repair this device, which is nowhere to be found. At this point I don't care about the root. I just want it to work again...
[G Pad 8.3 General] roirraW "edor" ehT:
You're saying that trying to flash the KDZ with LG Flash Tool 2014 results in the "Start Up Failed" message on the tablet? I've never seen that. I've never had a KDZ flash which didn't boot. Try a Factory Reset from the stock recovery?

Are you using the original USB cable?

Try a Google search for "LGMLauncher", you should find a small program. I think that's the right one to choose and once it recognizes your tablet (you should previously have the Verizon-LG drivers installed since you were trying to use LG Flash Tool 2014), choose the one menu option near the upper right corner and choose "Update Recovery". It'll download the same latest KDZ, might take 20 or more minutes depending on your internet, then it'll flash it.

If you don't have luck with either LG Flash Tool 2014 nor LGMLauncher, I'd try a different PC.
[G Pad 8.3 General] RHarper89:
I have tried everything except someone elses PC. I can try someone elses computer and see what happen.

[G Pad 8.3 General] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Ever make any progress with this?
[G Pad 8.3 General] RHarper89:
Unfortunately no. Every bit of software I have tried does not work. The device will start to reboot, restart again and show the start up failed. Use software assistant tool. Which I have also tried to use.
[G Pad 8.3 General] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Even on another person's computer? Weird. Try a different USB cable? Ignore if that's been covered before.

Had to reboot a couple of times for iRoot to take, but the rest worked excellent on my LG VK810!

Thanks !
[G Pad 8.3 General] DarkTau2199:
Did you reboot your device, your computer or iRoot? Because iRoot just keeps telling me it failed. And I'm not sure if it should be booting into download mode when iRoot reboots my tablet or not, because it doesn't.
[G Pad 8.3 General] ycneosg:
Successfully rooted!

I just gotten a refurbish Gpad a few days back, didn't notice that it is SIM locked to Verizon Wireless before purchase, hence could not use my local SIM on it.

Done a few rounds of OTA updates, from KitKat to Lollipop 39A (incl. Jan'17 security patches). Tried a few rooting tools but non was able to root the device (think was because of the security patches) until I found this thread. Thankfully to the op, I successfully downgraded the Gpad from 39A to 35A, rooted the device with KingRoot (via apk version, iroot exe having problem detecting my device), but was not able to replace the KingRoot with Super-SUme.

The app prompted to remove KingRoot, and said the KingRoot was removed, but it didn't actually managed to remove, the progress bar stay at a low percentage for many minutes. I tried installing SuperSU from PlayStore, but the SuperSU failed to update the su binary, now staying with KingRoot.

Is there any other method to replace the KingRoot?
[G Pad 8.3 General] harryzee:
Thank you very much for this invaluable step by step set of competent and clear instructions.

Fully rooted my aging but reliable LG VK810.

For my limited tablet usage at this point it more than serves the purpose with a great screen to boot!

No real point could be made to replace it if I could finally root it and (now) completely Android it as I did my NookHD+ several years ago (another great screen).

I still use the fully converted HD+ to review photos taken on vacation due to the size and quality of its screen and the ease of swapping the sd card in and out.

Open to reasonable recommendations now that this is successfully rooted as to which ROM to install. Could take the HD+'s place due to slightly smaller size and lighter weight.

Thanks again for your excellent efforts herein.
[G Pad 8.3 General] harryzee:
Any suggestions as to which simple straightforward ROM to use to replace Verizon's 5.0.2?

Also, in researching adding TWRP to start that process, I see it is not very simple. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

It has been quite some time since I used to do all this in converting my original Nook Color and then the HD+!
[G Pad 8.3 General] Hnk1:
There's cyanogenmod but it's not very stable enough as daily driver. I have flashed it few times but immediately reverted back as it doesn't go in deep sleep and there were some bugs with brightness. SIM didn't work either which wasn't the deal breaker for me but previous two were.

I just debloated stock and also [MENTION=2560614]roirraW "edor" ehT[/MENTION] has Victory ROMs which are stock debloated. You can check that too. Other than that you '#! Go back to KitKat.

Flashing recovery needs ABOOT from KITKAT. which means you'll need to flash first aboot and then recovery in order it to boot. However, if you are on lollipop, you'll end up bootloop until you flash aboot of lollipop back. However, this will break recovery (TWRP).

I think that debloated lollipop rooted with greenify is very good as it also gives you very good battery backup even if you do not use the tablet at all for long. That's my suggestion. Good luck !
[G Pad 8.3 General] harryzee:
I rooted with iRoot and am using your "VK81035A_08.kdz" currently. So once I debloat with Titanium, I should leave "well enough" alone?

Can live with that if that is so!

Thanks.
[G Pad 8.3 General] Hnk1:
There is system uninstaller app (red icon) on play store as well. Which I find it more convenient as you can uninstall many apps at once by marking which ones you like .

[Android General] hellakarsh:
I was wandering on XDA and noticed that many people are facing "NO CONNECTION ERROR" in Google Play. So I decided to start a new thread to help them fix the error.​

Prerequisites:

Disclaimer:

Procedure:

1. Open file explorer and navigate to /etc.

2. Open hosts file.

3. You will see a list of addresses there. Check if there are some addresses which are not beginning with "#" (without quotes). If there are some addresses which are not beginning with this, then put "#" infront of them and save the file.

4. Restart your phone and viola, your play store is working again!! :highfive:

Note: If you are using minmingaurd or any other adblocker apps, the you will see a long list of addresses. In this case, disable the adblocker from its settings or simply rename the file to "hosts.backup" and then restart your phone and try to connect to play store again.

In order to get better battery life, do I just need to flash, for example franco kernel and that's it? Or do I need to download the franco kernel updater and undervolt etc...?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flipz77:
While you can trust the developer's "stock" settings (and most of the time they're just gonna work), you'll have to tweak basically any kernel on your own, if you want to develop a better understanding of the "performance vs battery life" issue - the good news is it's not a brutal tradeoff all the time. You just have to find out your hardware's sweet spots and learn how the software performs on it. More good news: hundreds of pages and guides to explore here on xda! :D (which will show you scientific evidence that it's not all about the kernel - app behavior and the health of your battery play a pretty big part)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oxious119:
Personally I use franco kernel with stock settings and just undervolt it as far as my device is capable. Franco has done a great job ever since when it comes to a good balance of performance and battery life.
