Same boat here. I lack the experience and time. As far as flashing different carrier roms, my only thought would be about the bootloader. To me, sprint issued tablet=sprint bootloader. Yes? Not sure how specific the rom and bootloader are.

Hey guys,

I'm considering picking up a refurb of these to replace a N7 in my truck because this will come with dedicated data from FreedomPop.

Is there any way I can extract everything for you guys? I'd be glad to help. I'm familiar with adb I've just never worked with LG devices before.
[LG G Pad 7 Questions & Answers] JimiGEE:
I just rooted with KingRoot. SuperSu will not work as it states the binary needs to be updated and fails to do so. Once KingRoot is uninstalled, it appears to lose root access. I just left KingRoot installed as it acts like SuperSu anyways when something is asking for Root access. Still no recovery, i saw on a different thread a process for another G Pad 7 (mine is lk430) but now I basically have no recovery long story. Anyone have success yet with a custom recovery?
[LG G Pad 7 Questions & Answers] hank00:
I'm in the same boat as JimiGEE above. I took a few bad steps in my root process and now I'm looking at "Life's Good" for eternity. I'm not knowledgable on the recovery process, though I've tried the recovery tool to no avail. After reading this thread, I know why.

I did find the Chinese forum that was referenced earlier. It looks like the software that we need is located there, but it can't really be readily downloaded. I even went as far to create an account, translate everything, but downloads are earned, not just given.

I can only be so bummed. This was my own fault. : (

Same thing happened to me,, but on the spark screen. But how i got passed it was to remove the sim card and sd card. But i have to do that every time i reboot.. A bit frustrating but, a temporary fix i suppose.

So the method detailed here for using kingroot for root access then using terminal emulator to install supersu and deleting kingroot works. It also works on the Amazon fire 7 2015 model.

[LG G Pad 7 Questions & Answers] herbfunk:
Fixed my Lg LK430!

I stumbled across a site this morning on google which hosted the stock rom for the LG LK430.

Website with the 430 TOT zip.

The above file contains two files:

lgup_etablet.dll

LK430ZV4_11_User_Secure.tot

I used the LGFlashTool:

Select Manual Mode..

DLL: lgup_etablet.dll

S/W: LK430ZV4_11_User_Secure.tot

Action Mode: Board DL

I'm not going to tell you how to flash.. you can find many tutorials on it.

Example Tutorial (Scroll to the .TOT part)

Another tutorial on flashing..

Remember to use Action Mode: Board DL!

The first time I flashed I used Upgrade DL as the action mode, which put me in a boot lock on a screen that said "factor reset status 2".

The second time I flashed I used Board DL as the action mode, which booted me into mini os.

At first I thought Mini OS was just another bust because I couldn't do anything and it kept booting into a screen where it displayed two QR codes (barcodes) in the top-left corner and bottom-right corner and the top-right corner said "PASSED" and bottom-left said "PID". If you come upon this screen its possible to return the previous menu where you can choose to boot normally. I had to do some google searches but the way to interact with the menu options is to hold the power button down then click the button "Normal Boot" option. A popup window will appear with NO and YES buttons, same deal, hold down the power button then click the YES button to boot normally.

FYI: I was stuck in the mini os boot for a bit so before I managed to click the normal boot option I did a factory reset and cleared the cache. (I don't know if it made any difference though).

So long story short, I managed to fix my LG LK430 -- which has been disabled for a good many months.

And all the thanks goes to the person who uploaded the stock rom @ http://www.rwilco12.com/

[LG G Pad 7 Questions & Answers] eigervue:
sorry if this is the wrong place for this, there just isn't much of a community online for this particular tablet

I got a lk430 through freedompop via a groupon, I had been looking for a cheap wifi tablet for the kitchen for awhile but I figured, why not snag this up as it fit my basic functionality needs, syncs well with my G4, and could act as a backup if I lost my phone and do other light work out of the house on the free plan. Overall im very satisfied with my purchase, I just wish I could free up some more space on it but it's you can't move a lot of apps to sd card anymore without root. (i'm also hoping to trick it into thinking it has a bit more ram via root and sd partition so it doesnt constantly reload web pages when switching windows but that's secondary)

So is there an actual safe way to root this tablet, people seem to say stay away from king root, and it seems like a lot of people have been bricking them. Is there recommended way to root this device on 5.01 or is it better to downgrade to 4.41.

Seconding this because ZV4 will not allow the necessary steps to fix that Lollipop memory leak.
[LG G Pad 7 Questions & Answers] donyjunk:
Is the memory leak fix that you are talking about this one on the Google play store?

fixlollipopmemoryleak

ZV4 pushed (oct 2015) after the publish date for this (april 2015) so see how it might fail unless the memory leak fix was updated.
[LG G Pad 7 Questions & Answers] fh8:
ZV3 and ZV4 are 5.0.1. People have been complaining about sluggish performance and high memory usage and a few people who've tried the fix say their LK430s seem to run smoother, so I'm very skeptical of that last sentence.

It seems that windows version of 7zip does not like large files like this.

I was able to extract on ubuntu and able to recover my tablet.

The reason I messed up my tablet is because the instructions on the following link are not that clear for me: http://androidforums.com/threads/sprint-lg-g-pad-7-lk430-zv3-root-romdump-restore.1024872/

The removal of kingroot caused me to brick my tablet.

I will try again and see if I can get past bricking !
[LG G Pad 7 Questions & Answers] ne0tekk1:
Thanks! This worked perfectly! I was able to get out of the mini os boot by clicking on the screen in combination with using the power and volume keys. After being able to get into normal boot, the device was completely recovered. This thread should be stickied in the LK430 section or something.

EDIT: Here's the thread for the 2016 LG Patched Flashtool

https://xdaforums.com/lg-g5/development/lg-flash-tool-2-0-1-6-patched-t3371668

Don't forget to change your com port in device manager before initiating the flashtool

EDIT2: The tablet is even faster than it was stock. All the Sprint bloatware has been removed so the only apps that need to be disabled are the Google and some LG apps. It's much snappier and doesn't constantly ask me if I want to enable the Sprint Connection Optimizer. Really appreciate that link, think I'll flash my other Sprint LG-LK430 G Pad 7.0 also. These were under $50 with that Freedompop promo back then which is definitely a steal for a like new 7" tablet.

I had to attempt to flash several times before it would work. It dose seem to run smother less bloatware installed.

Here are some tips that might help the next.

1 install lg mobile drivers

2 install patched lg flash tool

2.5 make sure your device is using com port 41

3 fallow instructions elsewhere in these post .

4 look for video on using lg flash tool

5 its gonna need to update google services so it will take some time waiting for it to prompt you to upgrade

Did anyone has unlock LTE for another simcards except sprint ?
[LG G Pad 7 Questions & Answers] filadio:
I just pulled my tablet out of the dustbin and am now encrypting it to "erase" all data (I think I only used it for home shopping in the car, but who knows what's actually on it), then I will probably do a factory reset, then I would like to attempt to completely reset all software/firmware to the originally-shipped manufacturer state, or whatever the latest version is 🤞 and see if anyone anywhere wants to buy it.

The methods stated here worked years ago for some people, I'm now using Windows 10, and I'm not sure which software I'll need to install or which will actually work. I suppose if it doesn't work, I try Ubuntu.

Otherwise I toss the tablet into the trash, or maybe give it to a family member as a toy or a jukebox or a picture changer. It still looks nice and runs crappy, though I think the sludginess is the carrier software. Maybe I'll make it a picture swapper, but I find those annoying in my home anyway.

Any follow-up information on your experience with this tablet would be nice to know.

Hello,

I was thinking of getting a bluetooth shutter remote, they are less than 2$ on aliexpress and can be useful sometimes.

But what i was wondering is that if it can be used with the stock camera app or do i have to use a specific app for it? I just wanted to use it with the stock camera app but i don't know if its possible or not. Anyone with one can give some insight?

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TorqueWrench001:
Hello XDA friends,

I have two captivate phones I want re-purpose to use as wifi security cameras using IP Webcam I have them fully setup and working with the app, but they seem to overheat and shut down after an hour or so. I also have two Galaxy 2 Skyrocket phones that I have done the same thing with them. They had the same problem with overheating, but I found this post which led me to remove the battery and solder power cord directly to the battery terminals of the phone. My understanding is that the constant recharging of the battery and the power needed to run the phone is causing the overheating, so by removing the battery and eliminating the charging to the battery equals less heat. That has worked for about two months , still working. I tried this with the captivate phones but for a reason I don't know the phones won't boot up without the battery even with power directly to the battery terminals of the phone. I have removed the back of the phone but I am unable to see where I might connect directly to power the phone without the battery. I'm hoping there are are some users on XDA that might have the technical knowledge to help me either with the overheating or the direct power connection. I appreciate any help. Thank you.

Sean

************************UPDATE PROBLEM SOLVED*****************

In case someone else wants to try this I am posting my resolution here.

Although there were no replies to my plea for help, at the time of this update I see that 52 users at least viewed this thread. Thank you for looking.

I have been playing around with setting up these phones as network cameras on and off for awhile now. After posting this thread, I continued to research the issue, then I found this post by ADAMOUTLER, discussing the middle battery pin (battery size indicator). This led me to test the resistance on the battery between GND and the BSI. The measurement was 1500 ohms. I connected a 1500 ohm resistor to the BSI and the GND terminals of the phone, then cut the end off of a usb cable, connected the red wire to the BATT+, the black wire to the GND- (battery connection pins on the phone). I plugged the USB cable into a charger, pressed the phones power button and

Voilà! The phone turns on and boots up no battery installed. I now have it running the IP Webcam app, streaming video through my home network, I can view the video on my other smartphones (OnePlus One), and on my home network computers and from my computers at work. It has been running for several hours now, hopefully the overheating issue has been defeated. I believe it has.

Thank you ADAMOUTLER for all the amazing work you have done and shared on this phone.

Hey guys,

so here's the thing. We know that google keyboard probably records all of our keystrokes, right?

I'd like to know if it's possible that, on my phone, there is a database with all my keystrokes of the last days so that I can read it somehow.

I need to remember a contact name that I typed 2 days ago and which I forgot. I guess if google keyboard has recorded all my keystrokes it could be done someway.

My phone is xiaomi 4, I'm on miui dev rom 5.8.6, android 4.4.4.

I've already installed SuperSU, rooted, and I've installed ES File Explorer and granted root permission. But I don't know how to proceed.

So, now, does anyone know where to look for?

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flubugo:
I've had my nexus 5 for awhile now and decided that I should try to root it. So I followed a guide and youtube and it worked. I then followed a guide to install the android M developer preview, just to check out what had changed. From there I decided to install Cyanogenmod 12.1 . So I was looking at this guide when all of a sudden i noticed my root was gone for some reason. (im new to all this, not sure if that was supposed to happen). So then I followed the same rooting steps I used for the first youtube guide I watched. everything seemed to go fine until i realized that i was in a boot loop. I then decided to go ahead and install Cyanogenmod 12.1 anyway. It worked and my phone was fine. Until i woke up this morning and saw that it was in a boot loop again, but now I can't even get into my custom recovery (TWRP). I dowloaded this program to completely return my phone to stock but every time it tries to flash something to my phone, it gets this "flash write failure" message. Now I'm really lost and do not know what to do. I really rather not buy a new phone.

If anyone can help it would be really appreciated!!! If you do, I will need you to assume I do not know anything, as I'm not very familiar with everything.
