[General Questions and Answers] byproxy:
(sorry if this doesn't belong here... wasn't sure where to put it)

The inlaws are looking to get their first smartphone (they're currently still using flip phones!).

They want something they can get pics of and vid chat with the grandkids.

Despite my advice that they get the best phone they can afford now since they likely wouldn't be upgrading for quite some time, they insist on getting the cheapest possible option that will do what they want. :(

That said, while I'm on VZW myself, I don't really keep up at all with the lower end phones... I have no idea what phone(s) in this spectrum would be the best for them.

Can anyone offer any suggestions as to the best free/super cheap VZW phone for them? I want them to stick with Android (rather than apple) since that's what I know and can therefore best help them if/when issues arise.

Thanks!!

I know this isn't the correct forum but I've searched and haven't found anything and since this seems to be the closet device I was wondering if there is any development for this device yet or any rooting methods that may work
[LG G Pad X 8.0 Questions & Answers] Mike02z:
I looked as well. There does not seem to be any serious develop on the V530. I'm bootloader unlocked but no root or twrp that I could find.
[LG G Pad X 8.0 Questions & Answers] klbjr:
Thanks. I couldn't even get that far. Don't get me wrong it's a nice device but I'm sure a custom ROM would make it fly. Hopefully soon as more people get the device we'll see some development.

First thing first. Bootloader commands must be there.

If so, you just need TWRP
[LG G Pad X 8.0 Questions & Answers] robsquared:
I'd also be very interested in rooting/custom rom for this device, as I moved to it from my Nexus 7 2013 that was very much showing it's age. It's almost painful being on a stock rom from a 3rd party at this point. I've searched through google and nobody seems to be taking much interest in this device. The same was true for the original xperia z tablet and it's got official lineageos support, so I remain hopeful.

I am having problems even booting into bootloader on this thing. I was able to boot into recovery mode but can't get out of the "no commands".

adb reboot recovery

adb reboot bootloader -> just reboots it.

It might be possible to use dirtyc0w exploit to get root access on this tablet.(nvm it seems our android version is already patched for that. :( )

Hey guys! I bricked my tab and i need a stock kdz or system, recovery and boot.imgs! Does anyone have or can pull these file for me:) thanks in advance!
[LG G Pad X 8.0 Questions & Answers] Vincent_vann:
I have rooted mine..if I had the stock system.img could you used that? This is what I did to obtain root..

Download the Lg download utility mode tool '''https://github.com/Lekensteyn/lglaf''

and the sources ''https://pycryptodome.readthedocs.io/en/latest/src/installation.html'

Then open cmd in the folder and execute: python lglaf.py --debug --rawshell --cr -c '!S sh' <--- there might be an error message or laf_acess_denied but its okay.

re-enter the command: python lglaf.py --debug --rawshell <--- this should open up an interactive shell..enter ls and see if it lists the files on the device then close the interactive shell

run python extract-partitions.py to get the stock boot.bin but change the file extension to .img

push the boot.img to the device, install magisk manager, patch the boot.img, pull img then flash with fastboot

Thanks to Vincent_vann I have root. With this I can finally start building a custom TWRP for this tablet. I wish we had a forum for this device. I requested one last year but it still hasn't been made even though it was approved. If I get one built, and there isn't a dedicated forum, I'll post it in this thread.

I have the Canadian variant (v533) and wouldn't mind giving TWRP a whirl on it. All specs are same so I think it'll work. Don't mind testing if you do get somewhere to post TWRP. Also good job on getting it compiled ?
[LG G Pad X 8.0 Questions & Answers] xnukemx47:
Thank you! Unfortunately with nougat file based encryption TWRP has issues with decrypting /data after the setup of the tablet. So it's working 50% which is annoying because you'll have to wipe data whenever you want to flash something. Not a big deal for roms, but very inconvenient for other zips. If you still want it let me know and I'll find a place. Else I'll be tackling the decryption issue this weekend.

It didn't really work out for me. Just had to push the original boot image and go back to normal. Not enough development on this thing to warrant root.
[LG G Pad X 8.0 Questions & Answers] QkTreasures:
So I've had this tablet since March but really haven't used it much. My question is once I root it using your written guide do you recommend a app to use for getting Free Hotspot Tether on it? I am a 11 year tenure TMO Customer & have a legacy grandfathered rate/data plan.

Even tho my data plan says I have unlimited hotspot tether it is blocked by TMO. I have reached out to T-Mobile on Twitter & even the executive resolutions team of the president office but they just said that at one point it was allowed but that TMO took it away for whatever reason.

So rather than fighting tthem further or getting the FCC or FTC involved for false advertising I figured I'll just use an app once rooted to bypass root. Just wondering if anyone knows what is the best app to use to achieve this once rooted. Thank you very much & have a wonderful day!! ?:highfive:

All the best,

Ron.

---------- Post added at 04:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:04 PM ----------

Stock or custom Firmware or any other help/suggestions??

Can anyone PLEASE upload the stock firmware or any custom recovery for the LV530? Got this for my chick for Xmas and I cannot install any app from any online store includng the play store, and will not install apks either. States "file is corrupt and didn't install" with apks, Google Playstore gives error 504 (I believe anyway) and LGs own updatable/downloadable apps give both error 102 and 103.

Never had any issue finding stock firmware online for any divice. Closest I've found was the Canadian Variant (LG lg-V533) G Pad 8.0 iv FHD lte I believe. Won't allow flashing it to this device unfortunately however being different model numbers, but can't even find the ROM on any paid sites...

A HUGE THANK YOU in advance and tried all the suggestions online too as well through ADB.Fadtboot, deleting cache, factory reset (which neither allows you to do even booting into recovery/factory reset. Found one post that had a TWRP download on here but I've tried everything in my knowledge to boot into twrp after flashing it these last few weeks to absolutely no avail...

:(
[LG G Pad X 8.0 Questions & Answers] Azazel82:
Oh and I've tried installing TWRP as well with every download I could find online also I including mentioned. Managed to unlock the bootloader and root without difficulty before factor resettling the device attempting to get rid of the apps nor installing issue I'm faced with and did factory reset so lost Magisk/ SuperSU (whichever I had installed then) and all my preinstalled apps. Couldn't reinstall anything after the fact so been stuck with just factory apps. If I could've managed to boot info recovery/TWRP, I could easily figure something out I'm pretty sure, or had root permissions for that matter...

Only reboots the device no matter the means of booting into TWRP via factory data reset.

Your data would've been in the userdata partition, so try for recovery in that partition:

Hi, Thanks for the confirm. I tried that but unable to recover anything. Now i am trying for "sda". I think that is the complete phone memory right?
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] shadowstep:
In Linux lingo, /dev/sda is the first hard drive (the primary master), /dev/sdb is the second, etc. The numbers refer to partitions, so /dev/sda1 is the first partition of the first drive, /dev/sda2 is the second partition of the first drive, and so on.

[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] shadowstep:
Well, it is a possibility, technically speaking. The size can't be an exact match for sure (since there are other partitions that I see on /sda) but it can be pretty close if the other partitions on /sda aren't substantial and don't contain lots of data.

Dude I sympathize, did the same with me.

Then again I've been having 85010014 probs with activesync for ages, tryied everythin. It connects up but won't sync anything other than mobile favs

If that wasn't frustrating enough after transfering all my calender info n contacts over from my old tytn to my tytn2 by painstakingly bluetoothing vcards for each n every entry Activesync then when and wiped the bloody lot :mad: I'm guessing it happened by me changing the sync profile to not sync anything (thought it was a waste of time as it didn't work anyhow).

I was just gonna used Async to transfer cabs n music, next thing I know my phones got no contacts or calender info :( :mad: :eek:

As a work around I have e-mailed myself my contacts list as vcards but this doesnt seem to work 4 calender stuff.

At least it didn't wipe my outlook details

Moral of the story!

Get some backup software n use it

If you've still got ur outlook stuff n Async is not working try the e-mail method
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini Questions & Answers] aemi07:
Hello everyone,

Here is something weird to me. Got this ZTE Axon 7 mini just the other day. It was running Android 6, so I tried to sync all my 360 google contacts, and each time it only syncs up to 250 contacts. I removed the google account, tried again a few times but still the same issue. I have tried a different contacts application, bu it didn't help.

So I did the update to Android 7, and same issue, it would only sync up to 250 contacts. Please help.

Forgot to mention, the contacts are clearly labeled as belonging to that gmail address. Also, inside the phone I can create more contacts that would belong to the google account. Seems to be a sync issue. I also tried turning sync off and on a few times and there is no error showing for the contacts sync option.

Other things I tried: disabled the contacts stock application and used a different one, erased cache, used a contacts sync fix application, nothing helped so far.

This one blew my mind: Exported all my contacts to vfc, they got imported to my google email on my phone, the phone ended up deleting some of my 360 contacts until I was down to 277. There are no contacts saved to the phone memory or sim card.

The other thing I am considering to try is to use a hammer...

Interestingly, with 5.1.1 deleting 4 Smart Manager apps gets rid of those two wakelocks (although 5 doesn't have the same level of battery drain as 6), but with 6.0.1 they stay there. They run as a part of "Android System" or something, I can't figure out what I need to delete to purge them.
