Are you saying downgrading to 11A does not work on an updated G PadX?
[G Pad 8.3 General] Einsteindks:
If it is successfully updated to marshmallow, the best I can gather is no. I have not found anything that would enable me to fresh flash marshmallow firmware onto the tablet. Lucky for me, it was still under warranty and it's back under their hopeful care.
[G Pad 8.3 General] DemisesAngel:
I had recently taken the OTA update not realizing I wanted certain apps to have root access. Now I did just get this as a replacement, so it was stock before taking the OTA, but I followed this guide to downgrade. After everything settled I checked the software version and I have 5.0.2 again. So if I am not mistaken on your responses and what I just experienced, downgrading to 5.0.2 from 6.0.1 is possible.
[G Pad 8.3 General] Einsteindks:
I may give that a try when mine comes back, I don't know. I was quite happy with it being stock, I needed something official. The only thing I really would like to have is the apps to SD card feature that was left out
[G Pad 8.3 General] yossijoe:
Correct.

I've personally downgraded a few vk815s
[G Pad 8.3 General] Einsteindks:
Well, my tablet wasn't being recognized when hooked up, so I couldn't flash anything.
[G Pad 8.3 General] DemisesAngel:
I haven't had much time to look into the possibilities of rooting with Marshmallow, but I wanted to help get the images out there for anyone who wanted to experiment.

I took the liberty of extracting the system.img file from the latest KDZ (VK81522A_13_0331.kdz), since I had not seen any posts about it, and uploaded it. I also created the rootedsystem.img file using the "Inject_Root" method that is described in the first post and uploaded that too.

Hopefully this can help get some progress on rooting MM.
[G Pad 8.3 General] Einsteindks:
Where are the drivers to use these? Let alone flashware? I've double-checked, and everything folks have suggested, I have. Nothing worked. Oh, LG still has my tablet, fyi.

Update: after being in their possession for about 2 weeks for a flash of factory original firmware only, I should have it in the next day or two.

Update 2: Came back all scratched up!!!! Sending it back (again) for a new one. So, ALWAYS get pics BEFORE sending devices for service.
[G Pad 8.3 General] DemisesAngel:
Possible TWRP w/Locked BL

This seems like it could be promising. Should keep an eye on it.
[G Pad 8.3 General] easykillforyou:
Maaan this was tough

It took me 24 hrs nearly. Thanks for the post BTW

Quick question: would this same method work on the LG K10 perhaps?
[G Pad 8.3 General] yossijoe:
if it's running lollipop it might be possible to make a rooted system image for that.

the files & commands in this thread is ONLY for the vk815
[G Pad 8.3 General] easykillforyou:
heck yeah LOL

I was not thinking of using these files but just curious on the method :laugh:

Thanks

i recently got one of these tablets and it was on 5.0.2 at the time but i updated it to 6.0 not knowing that would prevent rooting. well i searched all over the internet and finally found a 11a kdz which i flashed to it with LG flash tool 2014. then i followed your steps and now its rooted. pretty straightforward OP

thanks for your contribution man :good:
[G Pad 8.3 General] Rushandidan:
Could you share the link with me please, I can't seem to find a working link to 11a

hello guys,

i tried to downgrade the firmware and for some reasons the usb driver stopped, and so did the downgrade at 2%. now the talet dialog at the firmware update screen says: VUSER_ALTES B52.

the lg flash tool does not recognize it anymore.... any solutions? thank you

---------- Post added at 10:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:49 AM ----------

nevermind, solved it by installing the lg usb drivers 4.1 and the 2014 flashtool worked.

TABLET IS DOWNGRADED FROM VERSION 22A MARSHMELLOW TO 11A, NO DOWNGRADE BRICK. THANKS iamsmokingone FOR THE COURAGE TO DO IT FIRST.
[G Pad 8.3 General] iamsmokingone:
I'm thinkin about testing xposed framework out or seeing how we can either get TWRP or some custom firmware. Need to have some custom roms available.

---------- Post added at 11:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:27 AM ----------

I have tried several kernel tuning apps but without a custom kernel I don't see us being able to overclock either the gpu or cpu.
[G Pad 8.3 General] bullsi:
im not sure about that, i only rooted because i need dual window in my car. edited prop file to run all apps in splitscreen and thats it.

does anyone know of a way to backup and restore my rooted rom? i screwd it up once and had to do everything all over again.
[G Pad 8.3 General] iamsmokingone:
There's an app on the play store called partition backup which you can use to copy all the system partitions, and then you can use flashify or rashr to backup system images. Or follow the instructions in this thread and make a copy of your system image and then flash it with lg flash tool if you ever need it.
[G Pad 8.3 General] bullsi:
but for lg flash tool you need a .kdz image. ill try to find out if it works and get back to you when i get the time. thanks
[G Pad 8.3 General] yossijoe:
anyone has stock system backup?

I flashed back to stock using LG flash tool: https://xdaforums.com/lg-g-pad-83/general/vk815-verizon-x8-3-flash-to-stock-t3236322

if you were on 11a originally then VK81511A_21.kdz should work for you, the newer KDZ files are marshmallow based and will NOT flash with LG flash tool.

I will see if I can find you a working link to VK81511A_21.kdz I got my file off some Chinese file host site, most links for the original kdz file are now offline.

EDIT: OH, or if you look at the link in the previous post, look at the thumbnail he posted and if you do that you might be able to download the kdz file from there.
[G Pad 8.3 General] jcsx:

so here is an archive containing everything i used to downgrade an d flash root injected image. i downloaded it muyself from the links in the begining of the post i think, i cant really remember. The point is nothing in there is actually mine.

the folder inseide contains flashtool 2014, stock VK81511A_21.kdz(for downgrade), lg usb drivers and another folder containing the adb, supersu and rooted system image.

it will be up there for a month or so. you have to hit the blue DESCARCA button to start the download(the cloud is in Romanian language)

[G Pad 8.3 General] Einsteindks:
Anyone do a root-injected 26A for flashing? That seems to be their final stock rom offer to us.
[G Pad 8.3 General] crazynarutoman:
Does this still work? Just picked up a used VK815, I'm comfortable with ADB/fastboot, but just need to know if this still works (I'm not sure what 11A/21A terms mean)
[G Pad 8.3 General] SLAB_8002:
I'm looking to downgrade to 5.0 and possibly re-root my device. Just for background, I successfully copied the system.img back in Feb 2016, injected root, and then later unrooted the device so I could upgrade to Marshmallow because I was hoping to use the adoptable storage feature (which LG blocked). I still have the original system.img from 2016 and the rooted system.img.

If I read everything in this thread correctly, I need to use the LG Flash Tool 2014 to flash the 11A KDZ and revert my device to stock 5.0, and then I can use the steps from the beginning of this thread to flash either the pre-root system.img or the rooted system.img. Is this correct?

EDIT: I got impatient and answered my own question. The answer is yes. I downloaded the stock 11A KDZ from the link below, flashed it using LG Flash tool, and then repeated the steps to root my device from the original post. The longest part was remembering that I had to go turn USB debugging back on after flashing my device to stock 11A. I now have LP with root access again. Many, many thanks to the folks on this thread for putting the information in here for people like me.
[G Pad 8.3 General] SLAB_8002:
Speaking of which, does anyone have a working link for the VK81511A_21 kdz? [MENTION=7860556]bullsi[/MENTION]'s file doesn't work for me - it downloads about 300-500 MB and then fails every time. I haven't been able to find a working download site yet.

EDITED TO ADD: Disregard, looks like I found a working link.

http://pkg02.cdn.gdms.lge.com/dn/downloader.dev?fileKey=FW456X8132XBARR49C7DCVM/VK81511A_21.kdz
[G Pad 8.3 General] SLAB_8002:
11A or 22A is the software version. If you look at yours, you have 26A. I believe 22A was the first Android 6.0 update for the X8.3. If I were to post a screenshot of the same Software info screen, mine says VK81511A under "Software version".

Anyway, if you are looking to flash back to Lollipop and root your device, I would download the VK81511A_21 KDZ and LG Flash Tool, and follow the steps provided earlier to downgrade your device to LP. Once you've done that, go back to the first post in this thread and follow Player911's instructions on how to root your device. If you download the rootedsystem.img that Player911 provided, you can pretty much skip Steps 1 and 2.
[G Pad 8.3 General] demoncamber:
Anyone know if this is still working in the latest marshmallow 26A?
[G Pad 8.3 General] yossijoe:
doesn't
[G Pad 8.3 General] SLAB_8002:
No. To my knowledge the last version that could be rooted was 11A. IIRC, I think it jumped straight from 11A to 22A when they pushed MM. Everything since 22A has not been rootable. I flashed back to 11A, re-rooted my device, and have no regrets.
[G Pad 8.3 General] thew-tab:
Stupid question, I have the tablet downgraded to 21A, and have the rooted image file from this thread, but I am confused as to what I have to do to push the rooted image. I read thru the thread, but I don't want to miss any steps and mess it up, thanks in advance.
[G Pad 8.3 General] SLAB_8002:
Not a stupid question at all. I factory reset my tablet a few weeks back and ended up having to completely repeat this process. Turns out the instructions in this thread aren't as clear cut as I had thought. I figured it out, and saved the steps. I'll post a detailed walk through tomorrow morning.
[G Pad 8.3 General] thew-tab:
much thanks
[G Pad 8.3 General] thew-tab:
Now, I am having issues with not working properly,sigh.
[G Pad 8.3 General] SLAB_8002:
Can you be more specific? I also noticed you said you have firmware 21A. Have you tried flashing back to 11A?
[G Pad 8.3 General] thew-tab:
I was wrong, I did have 11A(and still do). Think I may have a tablet that refuses to be rooted. I got the COM to work, and I tried to get this tablet rooted multiple ways, including copy and pasting your method, copy and pasting a different method I found on here, as well as one-click. One-click said it worked multiple times, but never actually did. So, I am still on 11A, with no clue how to proceed, unless someone has a kdz of the rooted image that I can try and install, so confused.
[G Pad 8.3 General] thew-tab:
I did notice now that when I boot into the download mode, the the rectangular box, it says "Modified"in red letters. The tablet seems to run fine with 11a. All I really wanted to root this one was so I could get the "apps to SD card" apps to work.
[G Pad 8.3 General] SLAB_8002:
Have you downloaded a root checker to see if you have root access?
[G Pad 8.3 General] thew-tab:
Yeah, I checked multiple times, it's rather annoying, since I downgraded from 6.0 just to root it, and now I can't get the Verizon program to update back to 6.0. Titan Quest doesn't work on 5.0.1, but does on 6.0, sigh.
[G Pad 8.3 General] thew-tab:
I got the stock 11a flashed back on it, now it says "official" instead of "modified". I may try rooting it again tomorrow. Does anyone know how I can flash the 6.0 kdz. I have both a 22a kdz, as well as 26a kdz, I am not sure what I would use to flash either one. Thanks in advance.
[G Pad 8.3 General] SLAB_8002:
What error are you getting, and during which step? Or, are you completing all steps successfully but don't have root access when your tablet boots up?

The reason I ask is if your system tells you it is modified, then it should have worked. Make sure when the tablet reboots the final time that you go to your app drawer and look for SuperSU. If it is there, you need to open SuperSU and let it update the binary. Your root checker may not be telling you that you have root access because it needs to request superuser access from SuperSU first.
[G Pad 8.3 General] thew-tab:
I will try it again later, upgraded it to 6.0, the benchmark scores were worse than when it was on 5.0.2
[G Pad 8.3 General] SLAB_8002:
I'm assuming that you are successfully installing the rooted image, but having trouble getting root access to work once you start up your tablet with the new image. I've run into the same problem; opening SuperSU and updating the binary should fix it.
[G Pad 8.3 General] -Hope-:
Any one still have a copy of the A11 rom that would be willing to upload for me? thank you!
[G Pad 8.3 General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
I don't have 11A, but I just recently rooted the most recent VK81526A firmware build by pushing a pre-rooted system image to the device using LG-UP Dev Edition. I will try to upload the rooted system image when I get some time. While I am a noob when it comes to posting guides here on XDA, I can outline the steps I used and the files needed to do the job.
[G Pad 8.3 General] -Hope-:
Yes please
[G Pad 8.3 General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
Unfortunately, root is limited to system-wide binaries. Because the bootloader is locked, the stock boot image cannot be patched for systemless root such as Magisk. Any modifications to the stock boot image will result in LG's notorious "Secure Boot Error," and a failure to boot into the OS. However, system-wide root via SuperSU v2.82-SR5 suffices for removing unwanted bloatware, deodexing, theming, etc.

On another positive note, it appears that the fISh exploit will be possible to force a TWRP install. I'm researching that now.

Hello xda. I created an app and I want to show you.

I saw this article and i decided to make an app about it. My app can enable one-hand mode on all 4.3+ rooted androids. It's so easy to use just create a left or right hand mode and enable it, it's all :) Here is some screenshots:

View attachment 3513201View attachment 3513202View attachment 3513203View attachment 3513204

How to use:

-In main menu select "Set left handed mode" or "Set right handed mode" ,then create an rectangle,resize it as you wish and press back button to save.

-In main menu select "Start/stop notification service", you will see a notification about one hand mode, then you can press "right hand","Left hand" or "reset" buttons to set your hand-mode.

-If your phone failed, dont worry i created a boot receiver so your settings will be default. Just reboot

*Note: App is alpha so there may be bugs, just get a log and send me.

I tried this app on my galaxy s6 running XtreSoLite Deo Mod v2.3. When I enabled one handed mode my screen usable screen size was about 5x5mm. After an reset my phone went back to normal. So for me this app didn't really work.

Tried again. I didn't see i had to set the screen size myself...

After setting usable screen size my phone was almost unusable lucky this time i could turn of the app.
