Looking more into perhaps extracting some files from the kdz and manually dd'ing those - but not sure which partition is causing the problem anymore...

KDZ Extract: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2600575

Currently trying to find a way to at least get to fastboot so I can try something along these lines:

[G Pad 10.1 General] fatbas202:
Any luck?

I've not come across anything that might help in the past week or so.
[G Pad 10.1 General] cogency:
Unfortunately, no dice. I may have sent it to its eternal slumber. I am 99% sure if I could restore the fastboot (not even the download mode) that I could get it back, but that has proven to be a challenge and I'm fresh out of ideas on next steps. The only life I can get out of it is a 0% charging icon when I first plug it in, and then the black screen of doom.

I'm all ears if you have any radical or crazy ideas. I found some really strange instructions for LG phones involving shorting out the circuitry with a metal wire - but can't access the battery with this tablet - so that's a no go.

Thanks again for all the help!
[G Pad 10.1 General] Greydus:
I can't get into download mode, it boots into fastboot menu instead, a little help here?
[G Pad 10.1 General] fatbas202:
Does ADB recognize it? If so, try `adb reboot download`.

help please?

hey i have a mac and i have adb running but the commands don't work. are they for windows only? and do you maybe be able to translate to mac commands maybe?
[G Pad 10.1 General] xudox:
I used a Mac and the commands were OK. What problem are you facing?
[G Pad 10.1 General] CrisCo71:
Confused...

Could someone please clarify the exact steps to ADB shell when in TWRP? I get "error: no devices found." The ADB drivers are installed and are worked fine for root (etc), but I'm stuck at fixing the partition size.

I tried running the commands from the terminal in TWRP and can get as far as starting parted, but get "sh: p: not found" when trying to run the "p" command.

Thanks!
[G Pad 10.1 General] mnsiw:
I did this on Windows 10 (x64), all from ADB, read 1st post again and follow steps carefully.
[G Pad 10.1 General] CrisCo71:
I can't get an ADB Shell to launch. Tried LG's drivers and ones from ADB Driver Installer - LG drivers just came back with "no devices found" and the universal just hangs.
[G Pad 10.1 General] faheyd:
Sometimes just moving the usb cable to a different usb2.0 port works. rumor has it that usb3.0 ports do not always work. Also making sure you don't have a previous adb shell open on your computer is something to check.

Anyone have anything else?
[G Pad 10.1 General] fatbas202:
Do a google search on getting ADB drivers installed. It's nothing specific to this device. There are many great resources out there to help with that; much better than what I can do to help you at the moment. Once you have your drivers installed and ADB works then you can continue on the steps.

It's really important that one understands the process of what's going on before just trying to run commands. It is very dangerous (in terms of bricking the device) if a command is mistyped or the process isn't fully understood. I cannot stress this enough.
[G Pad 10.1 General] CrisCo71:
Drivers seem to be the problem, yes. Windows shows Android ADB Composite Device and I can push to the tab but no shell within TWRP. This isn't a problem with any of my other devices, so I thought it might be related to this one in particular. Is it possible to run every step within the terminal in TWRP?
[G Pad 10.1 General] fatbas202:
Yes, absolutely. Just run all of the commands in the backticks verbatum *very carefully*. Since you're on a virtual keyboard there's a lot more room for error in my opinion.

Side note, you may be able to force install the drivers through device manager and pointing it at the ADB drivers from the SDK. Choose the "let me pick" option instead of the "automatically choose" option.
[G Pad 10.1 General] Greydus:
That restarts the tablet normally, it also shows this error everytime I want to do a factory reset, error : boot certification verify, maybe it have something to do with the fact that I tried to install a custom recovery on the stock Lollipop 5.0.2.

The reason why I tried to install a custom recovery on stock Lollipop 5.0.2, was because I thought it would an easy job like in older version of Android, anyways I'm still using this tablet unrooted, so I don't cause anymore mistakes to it XD
[G Pad 10.1 General] dreamtheater17:
hello my friend [MENTION=1772416]fatbas202[/MENTION] did you find something about the IR blaster on AOSP ROMs? I passed you some links a few months ago, I don't know if you could give it a look, I think it would be nice to have it. really its the only reason i'm attached to KK.

there should be a way to make it work, because there a re portes for g3 and g2, I've tried them, but refuse to work on my tablet.

have a nice day and thanks
[G Pad 10.1 General] fatbas202:
Yes, that is definitely what's going on - the custom recovery does not match the certificate key for the stock 5.0.2 recovery so it will not boot. When you are ready to fix it, you'll have to just start at the beginning of this tutorial and work through it. We'll be here to help if you need it.
[G Pad 10.1 General] fatbas202:
Sorry sir, I have not come across anything new.

For what it's worth, I've heard good things about Smart IR Remote/AnyMote and how it will work even if you don't have support from the OEM on your device (read: a custom ROM). It's worth giving that a shot if you haven't already. And if it doesn't work, I think Google gives refunds up to 24 hours after a purchase.
[G Pad 10.1 General] Lepidtiy:
Okay, so here's my issue. I rooted this using Kingroot because I didn't know any other method, I used SUPERSu-Me to get rid of the KingSu and put SuperSu , everything was working fine until I tried to download a recovery using flashify. I am on 5.0.2 and now when I try to reboot I get Boot Certification Verify. I tried flashing a Stock Recovery and still nothing, I can't hard restet or factory . if I do this method will it fix or will I still be stuck ? I'm desperate because nothing works at the moment and been searching for weeks, I'm new to downgrading and don't want to brick device. Sorry for ranting. Just need help.
[G Pad 10.1 General] Lepidtiy:
Okay, so I downgraded using LG flash tool and v410 Kdz files, new to downgrading but it was simpler than this but anyway, I have the white vertical lines and I only have 2 GB of storage available. Im running stock from by tinnytim and I have the twrp bumpable. Anyway to help fix these? Im new to all this and everything above sounds complicated. Any video links or a noob version to do all this?
[G Pad 10.1 General] fatbas202:
Read the OP. All of these are known issues and addressed. Let us know if you have issues after you read EVERYTHING like 6 times and try working through the steps.
[G Pad 10.1 General] Pessundate:
Okay, so I am stuck at step 17 , How do I get my tablet to ADB and give commands. I have done everything On my laptop I had ADB but not SDK is it because I didn't use SDK? Should I download SDK then try again? Once I hit Mount and unclick Data all I see is a button on bottom right saying "Disable MTP"
[G Pad 10.1 General] faheyd:
So, you did step 16 and have adb shell open on laptop.

In step 17, Once you click unmount, do nothing more at this time with twrp (don't go back in twrp, stay on the page) and move to the next step.

Step 18, from your laptop, `cp /sdcard/parted /sbin/` This copies the parted binary to /sbin so it can be executed in the path. I had trouble running `/sdcard/parted`, but YMMV.
[G Pad 10.1 General] Pessundate:
So all of the commands are entered into CMD after ADB on my laptop? Nothing is done on the phone? Sorry I'm new to this method and never used ADB for roots. So just to clarify.

Open CMD until I get ADB Shell and then type in the commands? And while doing so just leave my phone on TWRP Mount screen?
[G Pad 10.1 General] faheyd:
At that particular step, yes, leave the phone on the twrp mount screen and then proceed to the next step.

On all your PC up to step 28. After step 28, on the pc type exit or quit, leave the console open, you'll need it later.

then, Step 29, from twrp on phone, flash candy rom, proceed.

Then, later in the instructions you'll use the console to adb shell again...
[G Pad 10.1 General] Pessundate:
So I got to step 25 and realized I got an error because i didn't enter step 23 correctly, I now can no longer see what the original "Grow" was and now I can't enter step 25 . Is there a way to get parted back to the beginning or am I screwed? I tried deleted parted from External SD and then Redoing it but when I got to step 23 i only saw "Cache" and not "Grow"
[G Pad 10.1 General] Pessundate:
hey how did you redo the parted file? I messeed up and now when I go on it i no longer see 33 and 34 and i redownloaded it yet still the same problem
[G Pad 10.1 General] dracolla:
some help

hi fatbas202 thanks for your help

when i follow steps , i stoped on step 18

18-`cp /sdcard/parted /sbin/` This copies the parted binary to /sbin so it can be executed in the path. I had trouble running `/sdcard/parted`, but YMMV.

when i write cp /sdcard/parted /sbin/ adb show me that cp isn't recognized as an internal or external command,............ what shall i do with this problem ?

[IMG="."]http://imagizer.imageshack.us/a/img922/3934/gx24Lb.png[/IMG]

thanks
[G Pad 10.1 General] faheyd:
It's character dependent, including spaces....

cp /sdcard/parted /sbin/

So, you're cp = copying /sdcard/parted to /sbin/

if you ' ls /sbin/ ' after your successful copy, you'll see parted in there. make sure you 'copy/paste' from the web page to your console. (ls in linux = dir in msdos/windows)

left click with mouse to start your copy, drag right, and right click to copy to buffer, then, move mouse to console, and right click 'paste' into the console.
[G Pad 10.1 General] dracolla:
ohh, thanks faheyd

i didn't know spaces do different things :confused:

i complete all steps and my tablet porn with new stile :D

and i fix white lines :D

thanks allot guys for helping
[G Pad 10.1 General] fatbas202:
Just relfash the KDZ and start over from the beginning. Please be sure that you read everything and understand what you are doing before you start running commands or you risk bricking your tablet.
[G Pad 10.1 General] limolin35:
my phone is tuat ...
[G Pad 10.1 General] Kevinws42:
OK I have not started anything on my tablet. All I have is just read the steps about 20 times.

I have a 5 questions.

I apologize for any question that seems basic.

1. Can I stop at step 8 and just use the reduced capacity tablet for a few days? And pick up on steps 9-37 at a later date. Or do I have to complete all steps?

2. Steps 18-28 are all performed in the adb shell on the laptop/desktop that the tablet is attached to correct?

3 After completing all steps I can flash any rom I want.

4. Is the AT&T LTE functionality is kept?

5. Since I rarely reboot the tablet I can just live with the white lines and not worry about fixing them correct.
[G Pad 10.1 General] fatbas202:
THANK YOU for asking these ahead of time instead of complaining afterwards! And THANK YOU for trying to understand everything beforehand. I appreciate it!

1) Yes. Absolutely. But while you are doing everything it'll be easier to just do it all at once. But technically speaking there is no reason you can't stop there.

2) Correct. Or, as some have learned, you can do them in TWRP or Android with a root shell directly but I HIGHLY advise against that. Spend the time to get ADB working or your likelihood of mistyping something goes WAY up.

3) Absolutely yes. But you want Candy 5. Just sayin :)

4) Yes. At least in Candy 5. My wife's LG G4 died and she used this as her phone (with Google Voice) for several days while we got a replacement. If your ROM of choice doesn't work you probably just need to add the correct APNs (Google ATT APNs for tons of help there). On Candy 5 text messages worked perfectly too. Just no native voice/phone calls.

5) Yes. I lived with it for months until marcsoup found a fix. Note that this was before I tested AT&T functionality, so there *might* be some sort of requirement there. In short, if LTE doesn't work on Candy 5, then do the white line fix.

Again, please let me know if you are unclear on anything before you flash and I'll tell you everything that I know. Good luck!

EDIT: More on #1: with the reduced capacity you will have severely diminished capability to run apps. You may not be able to actually install more than one or two additional apps. Your tablet will be more or less useless which is why I spent the time to figure out how to fix it :)
[G Pad 10.1 General] Kevinws42:
Thank you for the response. I will work on it early next week and keep you posted.
[G Pad 10.1 General] TeChjEEpers...:
to get storage

I only get 9.34 gb not 11 or something can u help me is there any way
[G Pad 10.1 General] fatbas202:
You probably mistyped something in step 25. I'd recommend starting from the beginning and trying again.
[G Pad 10.1 General] Greydus:
I try to get into download mode by holding the VolUp and plugging in the USB cable, and then this screen appears
[G Pad 10.1 General] TeChjEEpers...:
U have booted into fastboot menu to put your tablet into Download Mode u have to power off your tablet and press VOL UP and plug USB cable and wait until download mode appears and when your tablet is in Download mode leave vol up button

Ok I'm going to try
[G Pad 10.1 General] Kevinws42:
Thank you!!! I do believe I have successfully completed everything but the white lines fix.

I will not have time to use it much tonight but I will play use it this weekend.

Everything seems to be working. If I have any further question I will look through the thread or post a question.

Okay Actually I can't seem mount the data partition in twrp.

Any suggestions.?
[G Pad 10.1 General] Kevinws42:
Fixed it. I formatted the data partition. I can mount data now.
[G Pad 10.1 General] Kevinws42:
One last question I hope.

I just noticed that my bluetooth address seems to be corrupted it reads 00:00:00:00:5a:ad. I don't use it to often but it is nice when I need it. Is there anyway to resolve this. The address shows up the same no matter what rom I am using. Candy, CM12 or CM13. Thank you so much.

Besides from that it has been performing very nicely.
[G Pad 10.1 General] LImolina:
hey ,

thanks for your work ..If I do all the above , but now I want to return 5.1 , how can I do ?:confused:
[G Pad 10.1 General] fatbas202:
I don't know what would cause this. I'll look at mine and see if it's doing it too.

I do not believe that the tools/tutorials exist to return to 5.x stock. Sorry.
[G Pad 10.1 General] LImolina:
Sir.

if my table is off, how can i into recovery？:confused:
[G Pad 10.1 General] fatbas202:
I believe that with this device you hold both volume buttons and hold the power. Once you get something on the display, let go of the power button.

Anyone please correct me if I'm mistaken.
[G Pad 10.1 General] LImolina:
WOW... that isnot really fine.. but I am thanks very much, because my tables was blocked before watched your course. i am sorry about my english , i am not sure you understand . :fingers-crossed::good:
[G Pad 10.1 General] made.means:
...

Everything was working so well.. I nearly had it and I messed up because I don't have too much experience. At step 29 I was trying to figure out how to flash Candy 5 using twrp and accidentally selected bootloader(not realizing that it wasn't and option I could simply undo easily). I panicked and used the power off option. The device seemed bricked again how it was already. Now I'm not quite sure what's my next move. Please advise if this is can be fixed. Thanks ahead of time.
[G Pad 10.1 General] fatbas202:
Maybe you could start at step 5 to see if you can get into Download Mode? If that doesn't work then I'm not sure how to proceed.
[G Pad 10.1 General] Lolisaiahlol:
****!!!!! I accidentally deleted partition 3! and not 33!!!!!! now my tablet shows nothing on the screen. I hear the sound that its connected to my computer but the screen is blank. I tried rebooting the TAB and holding VOL+ but nothing shows on the screen. I AM F'ed.
[G Pad 10.1 General] faheyd:
Well, you may just be able to restart the procedure again from step one. (you'll be doing it blind, but follow the instructions exactly) When it reboots at step 8, you may get lucky and see your screen again.

(what I mean is even though you don't have a visual output on the screen, it will probably just work. Come back and tell us what happens).
[G Pad 10.1 General] Lolisaiahlol:
ya, i plugged it in and hear that its plugged in. I hold the power button and it turns off, sound from the computer tells me its off. Than it turns on again from the sound. I quickly hold the volume + to get it into download mode. I hold it for a good minute to make sure it gets in that mode. I go to the FlashTool and when i proceed with flashing the Tool tells me that the phone is disconnected from the PC and cannot go any further.

I see nothing on this TAB, the screen looks totally black. You know you have something on the screen when you push hard on the LCD and get that funny coloring but not this one man. :crying:
[G Pad 10.1 General] faheyd:
(Put the tablet into Download Mode by powering it off, holding VolUp, and plugging in the USB cable. Press VolUP when instructed. You must be in Download mode before continuing.)

Bring up an ADB shell on your PC and see if you get any responses to 'adb devices' when connected in download mode.

(I'm hoping a dev will step in at this point...)
[G Pad 10.1 General] Lolisaiahlol:
I still cant seem to get this thing in download mode but when i did the "adb shell" thing i got something, but at this point i dont know what to type.

127|shell@ASUS_T00J:/ $ adb devices

* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5038 *

* daemon started successfully *

List of devices attached

emulator-5554 device

shell@ASUS_T00J:/ $

Whats emulator-5554? is that my device?
[G Pad 10.1 General] faheyd:
I hope it is, try step 18 through 21:

cp /sdcard/parted /sbin/` This copies the parted binary to /sbin so it can be executed in the path. I had trouble running `/sdcard/parted`, but YMMV.

`chmod +x /sbin/parted` Make it executable.

`parted /dev/block/mmcblk0` Run parted against the internal mmc

`p` Prints the partition table.

Just copy paste each command to the adb shell window. Paste the partition table results here.

(note, if we're lucky, we'll just rebuild the rpm partition. I have no idea what's in it or if it just needs to 'exist'...)
[G Pad 10.1 General] Lolisaiahlol:
Wow, that emulator was my Bluestacks. Adb shell cannot find my device. I am really stuck now....
[G Pad 10.1 General] faheyd:
Well that sucks balls. Google for bricked lg pad and see what might come up.
[G Pad 10.1 General] fatbas202:
Yeah, sorry to hear that. It may be possible to connect the device in download mode to a Linux system and try to use parted to recreate the partition. Since nothing should have been written to that tiny-ass partition the data should still be there. You just need to rewrite the partition table. In theory the tablet isn't totally bricked.

From what I recall, if the system is in download mode then when it is connected to a system it basically shows up as a USB drive and you can dink with the partitions that way. I can't find the link to someone demonstrating this though.

Good luck.
[G Pad 10.1 General] Lolisaiahlol:
I got a device error when i look at my device manager.

'Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)

'A request for the USB device descriptor failed.

'Unknown USB Device (Device Description Request Failed)

So you're saying i should use Linux? Won't Linux need the drivers too? ill install Linux on a VM and see if i can do anything there.

Update: Installed Linux and got adb and fastboot on the terminal and ran "adb devices" but nothing was on the list. Linux did recognize the TAB but nothing on the list.
[G Pad 10.1 General] faheyd:
You see nothing on your file manager?

Try ' sudo fdisk -l ' and see what pops up. That's a L .
[G Pad 10.1 General] BuyNFix89:
Hey. I managed to get my device to work after messing up around step 29. But when I got back to changing from ext2 to ext4 none of the commands are working. However I seem to have full function of the device and all my storage seems correct. I have just 1 issue I can't seem to fix yet and its that my device overheard frequently. A green screen comes up saying CPU hot and it instructs me to email someone which I wasn't sure if I should. Any feedback would greatly be appreciated. Thanks.
[G Pad 10.1 General] fatbas202:
I've never seen or heard of any such thing happening. This seems pretty strange. Next time it happens would you be able to take a photo or something? I'm curious now...

Others have done the same. As far as I know your system is bricked. Maybe search the other threads for a way to get into the bootloader and reflash the KDZ.

[G Pad 10.1 General] LImolina:
Someone here with you people do it?
[G Pad 10.1 General] fatbas202:
I promise that if I knew of a way that I could fix your device I would tell you. I'm not sure it can be fixed. What you need to do is try to get the system into a bootloader state so you can flash the initial KDZ. That should write every partition. I'm sorry your device got messed up.
