The selected device is not currently supported in LineageOS 14.1. :(

https://www.lineageoslog.com/14.1/v500

You can use our Rom, it all works.

the builder of the rom is @Mitsch79 ;)

we're not officially going.

Makes a backup and installs clean

We have enabled the OTA update via the LineageOS Updater as in official builds. To do this, simply flash one of our builds and go to the LineageOS Updater to update. Builds are updated monthly, builds are downloaded to the /data/lineageos.updater folder on your phone.

Here is the link to our server

https://www.los-legacy.de/v500

instructions

it hasn't been tested to work the other way around !?!?

have a tutorial here that should work from official to unofficial

https://wiki.lineageos.org/signing_builds.html#test-keys-to-official-or-vice-versa

1. download https://gist.github.com/DavisNT/1557d43d19b5d9e00cb8041e8cde9a9c this script is from DavisNT

2.extract the migate.sh file and make sure that is on the phone.

ensure that file has LF (UNIX-style) line endings

3. put it on your phone

4. reboot into recovery

5. make a full backup!

6. go to the folder where script is located

7. run: ./migrate.sh unofficial

8. WARNING! rebooting phone now would end in data corruption!

9. flash the UNOFFICIA build now (after flashing UNOFFICIA build it is safe to reboot)

10. flash Gapps (and any addons)

11. reboot

My v500 is dying :crying:

It was already really slow to use daily whatever the ROM I tried, LineageOS is now officially not updated anymore, and lately the touchscreen started not responding on the right bottom corner so I have to tap multiple times, or I get double tap with a single press. The keyboard is a nightmare and I end up using my phone :mad:

I'm about to replace it, but I'm still not convinced the Mi Pad 4 is an interesting upgrade but I can't find anything else :rolleyes:
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] fishears:
Converted to the unnoficial build but there's no update for January for this device (other devices seem to have builds). Is there a problem?

This version does not work for my 5GHz (Netgear R6300, region:US), it was dropped out after flashed this ROM.

Where are you from? (Country).

It had been that some from one local will connect, but others so far, can't connect.

We need to show what country we are in.

I am now in the US. Where are you btfree?

--------------------------------------------------

Check your country code by terminal:

iw reg get

or to set your country code by terminal:

iw reg set (country code here-2 letters)
Example: For me: iw reg set US
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] btfree:
I am located in Taiwan, bought the R6300 from US, it can only select region: North America (channel set 149).

iw reg get, shows

global
country 00: DFS-UNSET

Hope this helps.

But the 5Ghz's speeds(by Speedtest.net) are all relatively lower than the LG 4.4.2 stock ROM's.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] fefifofum:
Ok, here you have a new wifi test zip, and hopefully the last. It also contains the boot.img, so don't recommend it in other rom threads. Let me know how is the 5Ghz band, and also if you get wifi disconnects again (I had to revert some wifi changes).

[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] davebuk:
Although my 5GHz was connecting, very recently it kept dropping the connection. I had to enable connection to my 2.4GHz for a stable signal.

Currently trying your wifi4 test and shows a good strong signal on 5GHz. Let's see how it holds up.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] GXGOW:
Can see and connect to my 5GHz network now. So far the connection has been stable, so let's hope it'll stay that way :laugh:
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] xelyt:
Just flashed the zip and it seems that the annoying authentication issue on 5ghz is finally gone:svetius:. I'll do more tests tomorrow and let you know if i get disconnects again.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Cal:
Yeah! Seems to be holding...and 5GHz!

Will post back, but all seems stable.

[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Subbie171:
My router is set to US with a different SSID for 2.4 and 5ghz. I set iw reg to US, rebooted but it reverts back to UNSET (00). Before rebooting it does not work.

I can see my 5ghz, and it saves but does not connect. Same behavior unpatched, patch v2 and v4.

Anything else I can try?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Cal:
Excuse my post.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] xelyt:
After almost a day of intensive usage i can say that 5ghz now works but at first I was getting random disconnects and very slow speed (pages not loading etc.) so i changed gEnableAutomaticTxPowerControl from 1 to 0 in wcnss_qcom_cfg.ini and now it works fine.

Another thing: I did some research and found a zip containing wcnss_qcom_cfg.ini and WCNSS_qcom_wlan_nv.bin from stock 4.4.2 GPE. I compared both files with the ones we are using now and the .bin is exactly the same (so i assume we are now using kitkat wifi drivers right?) while in the .ini there are marginal differences and the most relevant ones are, in my opinion, gEnableAutomaticTxPowerControl=0 and McastBcastFilter=0.

I don't know if setting McastBcastFilter=0 instead of 3 changes something or not (i didn't try yet) but, at least for me, gEnableAutomaticTxPowerControl=0 seems to make my 5ghz more stable (i'll test 2.4 ghz tomorrow).
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] GXGOW:
No Wi-Fi issues at all after a full day. Guess the problem is finally solved now!
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Cal:
All seems solid here with both bands of wifi connecting and no disconnects. Very smooth and no drop connects by the default browser. Much better than before. Seems all wifi issues are fixed here.

Only change I made before this wifi "fix" was a change of gapps to open-nano.

Thanks fefifofum for solving our wifi band issues. Nice to have 5GHz stable and a stronger signal than before.

People, do you know any gallery app that preserves all the cached thumbnails in 7.1.1 ROM like this? QuickPic and stock gallery permanently deletes all the thumbs.

Just popping in to say thank you for keeping the old pad alive. :good: I just converted from official 20181111 to unofficial 20190221 and the process went fine. However, the OTA updater now says there is a new update with the same date tag, but attempting to flash it results in the pad simply booting back to Android with the message "update failed" for some reason.

[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] meistadieb:
I am using this ROM on my 8.3 for a few days now and wifi is working fine. No disconnects or drops. Did not have any with the official LineageOS builds either. The last crdroid 3 build is from 01/2018 so quite old.

That's correct. LineageOS 14.1 Official is EOL since introduction of 16.0. Therefor we have the wunderful user build from [MENTION=5353373]Mitsch79[/MENTION] in cooperation with [MENTION=6504624]Exodusnick[/MENTION] and others. You can get the latest build at https://www.los-legacy.de/v500

I'm on Cyanogenmod 12.1 (Snapshot) with super su, older twrp version, no custom kernel. How would I go about updating to lineage os latest version? can someone please walk me through the steps?

I just found out that the v500 isn't supported by Lineage anymore. Can I just use this ROM then? https://www.los-legacy.de/v500

Which root should I use? The su root from the first post or the Stump root from this post: https://xdaforums.com/lg-g-pad-83/general/guide-unlock-root-flash-official-twrp-t3779537
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] ArtVandelay2:
update: I'm on the latest officially supported lineage os with latest twrp. in the OP it says to flash the su addon in order to get root. flashing works but root doesn't. I enabled root in the dev settings but supersu says root is occupied and root checker says root isn't properly installed. how can I get root? alternatively how can I flash the unofficial roms mentioned here in the thread? thanks

flashed the 14.1 supersu file now and it worked (I mistakenly flashed the latest one).

Info

The rom of [MENTION=5353373]Mitsch79[/MENTION] is rooted by default you just have to activate it
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] sga999:
I saw a new unofficial update today that is from 4/9//19. Currently, I was running the prior unofficial update from 3/16/19 (I had done the "migrate" from official to unofficial before installing the 3/16/19 zip). I downloaded and installed the update, booted to system, but I got this error at the top of the screen.

Secure booting Error !

Cause: boot certification verify

(By the way, I tried the download/install two ways: through Settings - About tablet - LineageOS updates, and also download/install "on my own". The error on boot occurred for both install methods).

Fortunately, I had a TWRP backup of the good 3/19/19 system. But I'm wondering what I did to cause this problem.

Some other info that might be pertinent. After running the 3/16/19 rom for a while, I decided to try a Pie rom, just to see what it looked like. Today I decided to go back to nougat, restoring a backup of 3/16/19. It restored properly and booted up fine. But as described above, that error occurred after updating.

Since I installed the Pie rom in between, did I possibly need to do the migrate step again? I'm guessing this secure boot error is unrelated to that. I have found a couple of posts about that error, but I don't see how they relate to what happened here.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] fishears:
I'm not using this rom but it sounds like they forgot to sign the boot.img in the new build. You could try flashing it again and immediately restore the boot.img from your backup of 3/19/19 before you restart the device. There's a good chance that will work ;)
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] sga999:
Thanks, that did work! But I did a better job of searching this thread, and there are comments about this boot error way back in early 2017. I'll have to read that again and understand what they're talking about. I'm missing something. Maybe it's something to do with magisk. But again, thanks for your suggestion.

EDIT: it does have something to do with magisk. I read a little more in this thread, and someone said something about add-ons and booting up without magisk, then installing magisk after booting into recovery again. So there is a file in system/add-on.d called 99-magisk.sh. I renamed that to something else. I flashed the new update, and now that addon did not run after the update installed, obviously. I booted to system, then rebooted to recovery and installed magisk. Then I booted into system again. No secure booting error when booting up either time! However, the other post did mention that this shell file would get created again.. .and it did. So I'm not really clear on what this is all about and why there aren't more recent complaints about it. But at least I know enough now to get around it and have a few more clues to what is happening.

Soory for the noob-like question but I have done no rooting nor romming in 2 years. My V500 has Lineage 14.1 but I have updated to the latest TWRP. If I do this migration to Unofficial, then flash this updated ROM, will I need to wipe all data or will the old style "dirty" flash work? I don't really want to set up the tablet again, but I love the idea of having new security updates. I would really hope to get some clarification on exact procedures before I proceed. Thank you so much for continuing to support this old but sturdy little tablet. All the best!

Thank you very much for the answer. Okay, I will follow them, and I will do a full nandroid backup before doing it, but will the data stay or will it all be gone? I was not sure because the instructions say that it "installs clean." Thanks again in advance.

I am having trouble at step 7. While in TWRP, I entered terminal, had the migrate file in the root directory of internal storage, and tried to run it just as described in step 7. But I get a message that the migrate script is an invalid zip file, which is what it came down as when I downloaded it. I can do the rest of the steps but I don't understand how to run step 7. Sorry. Please help and thank you so much.

did you copy the script .sh from the zip to your mobile phone?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] hodgestl:
yes sir, i put the zip on the phone in the root directory. I also put the ROM and the OpenGapps Micro there to use after I go to unofficial.

EDIT: I think I may have it now. I need to extract the migate.sh file and make sure that is on the phone. I placed the entire zip on the phone. I bet I can get this done now. NOPE STILL NO LUCK

EDIT2: I have extracted the migrate.sh file and put into the root directory as well, but still no luck. I go to TWRP, Advanced, terminal and I type the command exactlyfrom instruction 7, run:./migrate.sh UNOFFICIAL from the directory where the migrate file is located. I continue to get run:./migrate.sh: not found I know I am doing something wrong but I have no idea. Thanks to anyone that can help me move forward.

[MENTION=5205131]hodgestl[/MENTION]

right run: ./migrate.sh

Maybe there's a mistake.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] hodgestl:
Still no luck. I have move the script to a couple of different locations. It was saying earlier that the script was NOT FOUND. I have cured that problem, but now it says PERMISSION DENIED. I suppose I should stop for a while. Thanks for your desire to help. I know there is just some little something, but I am not getting it.:crying:

Believe it or not I finally got it to run. It continued to be a permission issue. So I ran chmod -x on the migrate.sh file to make it executable, and then it ran fine. I hope to complete the remaining flashes soon. Thanks for your efforts to help

EDIT: SUCCESS!!! I have finally successfully migrated to Unofficial and am on the Aug 2019 security updates. I really appreciate the updates to this tablet!
