Based on this info you posted earlier the V3.0.4 should be your tablet version:

It is possible that That IFWI version was used on an older, or newer, V3.0 variant, such as V3.0, V3.0.1, V3.0.2, V3.0.3, etc. but from my experience, a version in the V3.0 series should work on your device, with sound. That is based on my past experiences with my V1.1.1, V1.2.0 devices. I have never had any other versions on my V2.1.5 and V3.0.4 devices. I have only seen my V3.0.4 tablet in the V3.0 series, so those other versions may never existed in the V3.0 series

The box label for the V2.1.5 shows a manufacturing date sticker of May, 2017 and the V3.0.4 has a manufacturing date sticker of October, 2017. If you still have the box yours probably has a sticker with October, 2017, also.

I hope this helps to clear up any doubt. Let me know.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] NyTR0S:
So that backup of the 3.0.4 that you sent me does not work. do you have an image insted?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] martyfender:
No, I don't have an image. Please clarify "does not work."

It should be able to be restored in TWRP by choosing the restore button.

You have to have it in to proper TWRP folder structure for it to be seen in twrp:

/TWRP/BACKUPS/NX16A8116K/2014-12-31--19-20-36_V3.0.4.MMB29M.20170620.075926

When I mean "does not work", I mean it started bootlooping when i used the restore function of the tablet. also how do i completely reformat the tablet? I notice that it keeps using up space. I herd of this "magisk" but I dont know where to get it and how to use it. also when i whent into the recovery for twrp, it gave me the dead android with the caution logo over it. ( ⚠ )
[Miscellaneous Android Development] martyfender:
Do you mean you did the restore and then rebooted, before it bootlooped.

before rebooting, you need to choose wipe, swipe to factory reset, immediately flash the SR5-SuperSU-v2.82-SR5-20171001224502.zip, the systemless one I mentioned previously, to patch your boot.img for encryption disabled and dm_verity disabled Read the message in twrp that SuperSU has backed up and patched your boot.img.

It sounds like you are getting the error and bootloop because dm_verity is not disabled. That would happen if you tried to reboot into Android without flashing the SR5-SuperSU-v2.82-SR5-20171001224502.zip, first.

I am currently testing Magisk 15.1 and Magisk Manager 5.5.2 for root on my older, V1.1.1 and V1.2.0. So far, 15.1 is working great on them, unlike older versions I tested back in the summer.

Magisk is an alternative to SuperSu for root which is in active development, unlike SuperSu, since ChainFire retired and sold it to a company that has not been active for many months

[Miscellaneous Android Development] martyfender:
When doing the restore in TWRP, be sure to uncheck recovery, or my backup will replace TWRP with the factory, stock recovery. I did just that last night on my V1.2.0 tablet by forgetting to unckeck it.

Therefore, I had to reboot into bootloader/fastboot mode and reflash TWRP to the device again with:

fastboot flash recovery Ares8A_recovery_twrp.img

hit enter.

To wipe the tablet, you would boot into TWRP, which I recommend you have permanently installed, vs. just temp booting it and choose wipe, the safest then is to swipe to factory reset.

You can select advanced wipe and choose system, data, both caches.

I would be careful and think about it before choosing any of these, especially if you choose to wipe the internal Storage. On my first V1.1.1 tablet the external SD card reader apparently failed so I store supersu.zip busybox.zip, an original boot.img an old version of Jrummy's root check app, mixplorer.apk the latest beta release of Greenify, etc, on the internal SD.

Also, you would almost never need to wipe your External SD card here, especially if you have the above mentioned files on it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] martyfender:
[MENTION=7966837]BigM69[/MENTION] I installed Jrummy's build property editor last night and added:

ro.sf.lcd_density=160 to it, but on reboot my desktop icons looked the same size, so it would appear that the boot.img ramdisk, default.prop, may be overiding it at boot. In settings, display, I alway change font size to huge.

A few weeks ago, I had the Nova Launcher installed on my V1.2.0 tablet and there are many options there to customize the icon size, etc.

Is that the only problem or is it more than that? What will your son be doing on the tablet?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BigM69:
[MENTION=8126387]martyfender[/MENTION] i did also set the display size to hugh. Also one if the first apps I downloaded was nova launcher, however it's not prime so the tweaks are limited. I have nova prime installed on my device. I did go into nova on his tablet and adjusted the app icon size and the text, that's about it for now. My son watches YouTube, a lot, but he also likes to get on the internet sometimes. I just feel kinda bad for him because the device he has is my old lgv10 and it's got a cracked screen but he loves it. My wife bought him the tablet last month I didn't think to ask her what kind she had bought him or I would have told her to get a better one, not saying that the ares isn't a good tablet that's not it. It's the fact that I really wanted to get my son a better tablet because he deserves it, he's had that old lgv10 for awhile now. He has a birthday coming up next month so I'm gonna try to work a little OT and buy him a better tablet. Thanks for reply!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] martyfender:
Is it this one:

https://www.amazon.com/LG-Electronics-LGV700-10-1-Inch-Tablet/dp/B00MTITJ94

If so, it has a much bigger battery. Also, if it is, did it get an update to Android 5.1 or 5.1.1?

My older, Ares 8 came with 5.0 but vampirefo ported 5.1.1 to it and 5.1.1 is light years ahead ov 5.0, because 5.0 had a magor memory leak which caused all kinds of problems on the tablet.

And yes, there are some limitations to this cheap tablet, but root was one of the reasons I chose it, for learning and development.

One thing I notice is that apparently a lot of bugs were fixed in the newer V2.0+ and V3.0+ series.

So far my V2.1.5 and V3.0.4 tablets work much better overall than the previous V1.0+ series.

Without reading back, I forget what version yours is.

I am currently testing Magisk 15.1 on my 2 older tablets, with good results, so far, unlike older versions I tried back in the summer.

if you Decide to try the Magisk root, you must flash UnSu.zip and reflash and original boot.img for your particular rom before flashing Magisk.zip and installing Magisk Manager.apk
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BigM69:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] martyfender:
Ok, I misunderstood I thought you meant a bigger, 10 tablet. Isn't the Ares 8A's much bigger screen better then? It does take much more processing power and battery, to run this much bigger screen vs. a small phone screen, though.

Is it to expensive to replace the screen on the LG?

Well, it's just not the screen on the v10 the device is on its last leg the volume rockers and power button on the back of the v10 barley work. Also the v10 has screen burn. So there's no comparison between the tablet he has and the v10, I don't know why but he would rather use the phone because it's not slow. Although I tried explaining to him that YouTube on his tablet wasn't all that slow. He is a little boy lol and he is picky just like me. He likes what he likes I guess. Performance over looks I guess.

---------- Post added at 09:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:07 PM ----------

I just fired up his tablet and man it's still slow. I don't know what else to do for it. I figured by installing Lspeed and kernel auditor it would help it but from what I just saw it's not helped it one bit. Yesterday it seemed to be faster though I don't get it. Kernel auditor maybe conflicting with Lspeed? Should I uninstall kernel auditor and keep Lspeed or vise versa? Or just sale the tablet and buy a better one? [emoji848]
[Miscellaneous Android Development] martyfender:
If it is the LG v10 phone I found through a search, it has a fast, Qualcomm SnapDragon processor with 4Gbs of ram. There is no way the Ares 8A's 1Gb of ram can come close to competing with that, even with the best tuning, not to mention that it is driving a much bigger screen on top of that.

But I guess we are OT now.

If I can help with the Ares 8A, let me know.

There are some recent posts on the lspeed forum concerning zram causing lags, so I may experiment with that, although I think I did in the past and found 400Mbs of zram was optimal on our tablet, I can't remember, exactly.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BigM69:
Even though the v10 is crippled and bruised up a little it's still better than the aers, I'm not trying to compare the 2 because it would be super stupid to do so. I understand especially with technology most of the time you get what you pay for, but anyone could spend a little more money and get a better tablet, to me it just doesn't make sense to spend 65 bucks on a tablet that lags when you can save a little more money and get one for 165 that has no lag. I'm gonna play around with Lspeed if I can get it to load up and also gonna disable kernel auditor. Ill experiment a little.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] martyfender:
I use both lspeed and kernel aduitor, making sure I don't use conflicting settings.

I am once again at a point where I could get a more expensive, better tablet, also. The problem for me is that I want one that has twrp available for it and a root solution.

Most new devices come with Nougat 7 or Oreo 8, which are much harder to root.

I have not thoroughly searched yet, though.

There are some rooted ones here on xda, but most are the very expensive flagship tablets.

I don't need an Android phone, since the Iphone 6 my son gave me back in October, when he replaced it with the new 8, works very, very well, despite running every developer beta since 11.01
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BigM69:
I'm like you if I can't root or bootloader unlock I will not buy for myself. Every device I have owned I have unlocked and rooted. I'm using the mi mix have been ever since August of this year. I had the nexus 6 for 3 years I loved that device and just switched because I wanted something a little bigger and newer. Iv owned the original galaxy note galaxy note 2,3,4 then LG g3, HTC one Max, LG V10 and 3 different nexus 6 devices, and the Motorola 2015 edition. My favorite outa all of those I named was hands down the nexus 6, I could take that phone completely apart with my eyes closed and put it back together I know everything about it, I enjoyed changing the parts of the nexus 6 once I swapped the N6 back battery cover for the Motorola 2015 back door battery cover it fit perfect. I wish I had the extra money I would buy a brand new N6 and keep it. The first device I ever rooted and unlocked was the first smart phone I ever owned the original galaxy note.

Let me start off by thanking you your guys are F&%^ING LIFE SAVERS!!! but I just have one question left. I am installing BusyBox and when I go to hit install it says "download unsuccessful" How do I go about fixing that??
[Miscellaneous Android Development] martyfender:
I don't change my cpu min and max settings, at all.

I use lspeeds built in GovTuner set to the performance profile. I the cpu optimizer, off.

If my memory serves me correctly, the cpu optimizer actually changes som vm values, but there may be others

I have recent been leaving ksm, on at the defaults, but until recently, I had ksm off. I don't notice much difference, either way, although, many kernel tuning guides recommend turning it off. I leave entrophy a defaults based on guidlines posted by one of the most knowledgeable person I see posting on xda and on the lspeed forum, [MENTION=5488402]Davey126[/MENTION].

He states that setting higher values may have been useful on older versions of Android, may have been useful, but is not needed on newer versions of Android and may actually be detrimental.

It looks like you are using the lspeed balanced lmk values wich I believe is a good compromise.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BigM69:
I actually just uninstalled Lspeed, I'm gonna play around with the tablet with kernel auditor only settings applied and see if there is a difference. After a few hrs of playing around with the tablet I'm then gonna uninstall kernel auditor and reinstall Lspeed and apply the same settings I had setup previously, and see if there is any difference that I can notice.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] martyfender:
First of all, did you finally root with SuperSu or did you try Magisk 15.1? Because I just found out last night with Magisk, I had to do something different to get YDSbusyBox.zip to install correctly to Magisks sbin folder instead of the default, /system/xbin.

I have occasionally had the problem you describe, when flashing it after SuperSu.

Under mounts in TWRP, check the box to mount the system, then reflash YDSBusyBox.zip and it will succeed. I reported this to YDS and I thought he had fixed it, but I occasionally see this problem re-occur with v1.27.2 It may be a problem, though, with our particular devices, though, not his bug.

With Magisk, after flashing it and rebooting and installing Magisk Manager and setting it up, you have to reboot into TWRP again, reflash busybox, delete dalvik cache and cache, then reboot and busybox will be installed in the proper location, from what I have determined, so far.

There is also a busybox Magisk module, which I have not tried yet.

I just flashed busybox.zip again, after rooting my V1.2.0 tablet with Magisk 15.1 and read the flashing message and YDS is shows he is using Magisk's creator, Topjohnwu's method to install it properly, so the second flash may not have been necessay, after all, not sure at this point, yet.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] NyTR0S:
I used SuperSU to finally get a successful root and where can i get YDSBusyBox.zip? and do i just flash it now or what?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] martyfender:
Search YDSbusybox xda, for the link. download the x86, flashable zip. Copy it to your external or internl SD card, Reboot to TWRP, click the mount button, check, the unchecked system box, go back to the main menu, click the install button, select the YDSbusybox.zip and swipe to flash it. read the message that it completed successfully and you should be good to go.

Since you are newly rooted, be sure to go to supersu settings, click the enalbe pro features, relaunch supersu settings logging full content, enable su during boot and trust system user. I also keep prompt on so I see a message on each apps first launch, or reinstall, to allow su for that app, which must be approved only once, or on a reinstall of an app, within the alloted time period, or it will be denied and you will have to go into supersu app page and change it to allow and push the cofirmation check symbol to set it.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] martyfender:
For all of you, especially if you are installing large games, check out Apps2SD. With it installed you can reformat a high speed external SD card into two partitions, the first, as FAT32 for storing files and TWRP backups and a second, ext partition to move apps to. It is not recommended to move system apps though, as they may fail to function properly, though. some apps such as whatsapp and others may have problems, I have seen that particular app mentioned many times on Vicky Bonick's Apps2SD forum and there may be work arounds, I don't know as the only messaging app I have used is Telegram to correspond with the Lspeed author lspeed group and the GovTuner telegram group.

If you use Apps2SD, get a good, hispeed card such as the SanDisk extreme plus or the Samsung EVO cards, or faster, of at a minimum of 32Gbs. I have 32Gb cards and wish I had 64Gb ones or even the 128Gb ones.

I've had problems with at least 3 Sandisk Ultra and Ultra Plus cards for unknown reasons. I work a Walmart and did not realize that SD cards do not fall under the Walmart 15 day, electronics return policy, I however don't remember the return period. So keep your receipts for them, as I myself am not sure if I still have the one for my most recent Ultra Plus purchase, only a few months old.

If you try Apps2SD use the su.d option, when you create the mount script.If you have problems with that, use the advanced, mount script options.

For any questions concerning it I would refer to the Apps2SD, xda thread and it FAQ's web page.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] martyfender:
I'm not sure what you mean the "the black SanDisk". Most of them come with a black, SD card adapter so you can put it in a computer Sd card reader or other device.

Stay away from the more easily found, Sandisk Ultra and Ultra Pluses. I have had trouble with those.

The two good ones I have used are the Samsung EVO cards, I have about 4 or 5 of those and the other good ones I have are the Sandisk Extreme Plus cards. I have 2 of those in my newest 2 tablets.

When I got my first tablet, the original Ares 8 that came with Android 5.0 I bought 2 Sandisk Ultras. They both had reasonable write speeds but very, very poor read speeds. And because I was using Apps2SD to move 2 a large games to the external SD, this caused the game to run very slowly. I tried 2 I bought from Walmart and both were the same.

I returned both and got a Samsung EVO and the read speed was the difference between night and day. I believe I chose it based on some reviews I read about that card. based on the specs, the Ultra should have been just as fast. And I also tested them on a Windows program that does a long test for read and write speeds to confirm my experiences with them on Android.

The recent SanDisk Ultra Plus has a strange problem where if you try to do a full format in Windows vs the normal quick format I get an error that some block of the device are read only and can't be erased. I've used several Windows programs and The Linux GParted and android to format.

Using The command line utility, chkdsk /r to recover bad sectors is really what pointed me to the read only blocks. When I tried t use Apps2SD's partition tool to partition it with two partitions it would alway fail. I'm not sure why it has some read only blocks. It does come with an encryption program, but that is an optional item to install, so it is a featherweight paper weight, that I could sneeze to get rid of, if I can't find the receipt to return it.

Well, less than 2 minutes till New Years I've had a couple, but am sick, so I can't over do it.

So, Happy New Year may it be a great New year for you and your family!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BigM69:
[MENTION=8126387]martyfender[/MENTION] i bought a 16gb SanDisk at Walmart today. Should I format to exFat or leave it at FAT32? I'm hopping that this will speed up the tablet some.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] martyfender:
format it initially with tablets own formating tool which will format it as: FAT 32 LBA as primary partition, I believe.

However, if you are going to use it with Apps2SD to move apps to it, I found out the hard way, that you must use Apps2SD's built in partition tool, so it's second, metadata partition will be created.

It will create the first partition as FAT32 LBA, a second small metadata partition and finally a Linux ext 2, 3, or 4 partition where apps will actually be moved to.

The Apps2SD partition tool uses the GUID partition scheme for devices with Android 6 and later, unlike the standard Android tool, which uses the older, MBR partition scheme.

You are able to move a slider to determine the size of the partitions or enter a value for the first manually. I have mine split exactly in half so I have room on the first, FAT 32 for TWRP backups, files to flash such as supersu, etc and reasonable room for some games. Keep in mind, some games will not move their contents to the 2nd partition. This depends on the game. Do not try to move system apps also, as they may break the tablet and you may have to restore it from a backup.
