[GUIDE] ROOT LG G Pad V530 For Newbies!

On August 1, 2021 I am giving up my Mediafire account. There will no longer be a link to the files. If anybody else would like to host the files, that is OK with me.

This is a Guide for those who have never Rooted a device. The Guide assumes no prior knowledge.

I had a young one in my family, a fifth grader, follows these instructions and she was able to root one of my LG V530

without a problem. Just print the Guide and READ THE WHOLE GUIDE BEFORE YOU START.

REQUIRED: (1.) Windows PC (2.) LG V530 Tablet (3.) USB Cable (4.) Stock boot.img

CREDITS:

Now before we get started I want to give credit to the following:

topjohnwu For Magisk Manager

Snoop05 For 15 Second ADB Installer

Vincen_vann For explaining how to extract the stock boot.img from our LG V530 or any other LG device.

(See below the link for how to extract Stock boot.img)

[WARNING!!] This ROOTING GUIDE will allow to ROOT you LG V530 or any LG device

SAFELY if you have the Stock “boot.img”

(V530 boot.img is included in the Download folder)

[WARNING!!] If you do not have a stock boot.img FOR YOUR DEVICE – STOP!!

[DO NOT ATTEMPT ROOT!] (See Extract Stock boot.img BELOW)

[WARNING!!] All user data and downloaded apps will be delete on ROOTING

We are going to use a step by step method. Please check off each step as it is completed.

____ 1.) Download whatever files you need from folder. The link is below .

If you are new to ROOTING then download the whole folder.

____ 2.) Open the Windows Driver folder in the extracted folder and install both

adb-setup-1.4.3 & LGMobileDriver_WHQL_Ver_4.2.0

____ 3.) On your PC Open the "GET ROOT Batch and ADB Command" folder and copy the

GETROOT.bat to your c:\adb folder.

____ 4.) On your LG V530 go to Setting -> About Tablet -> Hardware info -> Model number if is LG-530

go to step-5. If the Model is NOT LG-530 [ STOP! ]

____ 5.) On your LG-530 go to Settings -> Security -> Unknown sources Tap to set On

____ 6.) On your LG-530 go to Settings -> About tablet -> Software info -> Build number Tap 7 times

____ 7.) On your LG-530 go to Settings -> Developer options -> Enable OEM unlock and USB debugging

____ 8.) Connect USB cable to LG-530 and PC then Tap OK to Allow USB Debugging

Now change the USB mode from Charging to File Transfer

____ 9.) Open the LG-530 in the Windows explorer then open the folder → "Stock boot.img for LG Pad V530"

and drag and drop "boot.img" to your V530 tablets sd_card or to your Tablets Download folder if you don’t have an sd_card.

____ 10.) Remove the USB Cable from the LG-530

____ 11.) Re-Connect the USB Cable LG-530 then Tap the “OK” to Allow for USB Debugging.

Now change from Charging mode to PHOTO Transfer. Go to your C:\adb folder hold

down the shift key and right click the mouse and select Open a Command Prompt here.

Type -> adb devices then the press return key on your keyboard you should see your

LG-530 listed in the adb devices

____ 12.) Remove the USB cable from you LG-530

____ 13.) On LG-530 go to https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases and download the latest version

of Magisk Manager (Always use the latest version)

____ 14.) Install Magisk Manager and select Patched Boot Image File from the 2 options. DO NOT Select Install ZIP!

Tap on the upper left corner of Magisk Manager

and Navigate to the folder where you copied boot.img and select boot.img

Now wait for Magisk Manager to finish creating the magisk_patched.img

Magisk Manager will have created the file magisk_patched.img in your download folder.

Once the magisk_patched.img is created exit Magisk Manager

____ 15.) Press the Power key on your LG-530 and select Power off and restart.

(I have found that after running Magisk Manager a restart is necessary,

so that you can select the usb transfer mode).

____ 16.) Connect the USB cable and select PHOTO Transfer mode.

Go to your C:\adb folder and open it.

Find the GETROOT.bat file in your C:\adb folder and right click

and select Run as Administrator.

[OPTION]

If would rather type the ADB commands instead of using the GETROOT.bat

they are in the “GET ROOT Batch and ADB Commands” folder and shown below.

adb devices

adb pull /sdcard/Download/magisk_patched.img

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot oem unlock

fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img

fastboot reboot

____ 17.) You LG-530 will reboot. Don't worry about the LG unlocked bootloader message just

press the power button once and wait. it will take a little time to awhile to boot,

but you will see Android is Starting Screen (Be Patient).

____ 18.) After you LG-530 has boot you will have to enter all your user data again,

just like FOR a new tablet.

____ 19.) Now download Magisk Manager again and install it. After installing,tap on the SafetyNet Check

on the middle on the Magisk screen. Magisk will ask to Download and Install Proprietary Code.

Tap Allow. Once the code is installed, Re-Boot the tablet, REBOOT needed for Magisk to finish installing.

After reboot go to Magisk and tap on the SafetyNet Check it should be Green

and show that you have passed the SafetyNet.

This means you are ROOTED.

[CLEAN UP] From the File Manager go to the Download folder and delete magisk_patched.img

[ENHANCEMENTS] Go to F-Droid.com download and install F-Droid.

Once f-Droid is installed, use the F-Droid search to find AdAway.app

Setup AdAway and download the AdAway host files.

Now use F-Droid to find DNS66.app download and install it

Configure DNS66 to use the AdAway host files. Start DNS66.

Now NO MORE Google Ads in downloaded apps.

[UNROOTING] [WARNING NEVER UNINSTALL Magisk!]

Use the Magisk Uninstaller to UNROOT your LG G Pad.

If you just uninstall Magisk will no longer boot you device!

After Using Magisk Uninstaller

Then: If want to return your device to stock.

Copy the “Lock_Bootloader.bat” to your

c:\adb folder and right click Lock_Bootloader.bat and Run as Administrator.
