LG730 - Venice - Downgrading firmware to ZV5 from ZV8 so i can root it

hey all, just got my 1st smartphone here. the LG Venice.
i love it , but always wanted to root it. that was the main point in getting it.
so i went and got this the other day, and unfortunately the guy at the store
went and upgraded it for me from the good version to this new UN-rootable version.
at the time i didn't know this, or i woulda stopped him.
soooo, I've been reading all over and the consensus is to downgrade it to zv5,
then root it, then save the root, then upgrade back to zv8, then restore the root.
ok, no prob, but i cant get the zv5 firmware to take. i;'ve found only 1 place that has a link to a .cab file. and it don't work.
others have had this same problem, but i cant get ahold of anyone....
if i flash 5 on it, it gets stuck at the boost logo screen. only way to fix is to flash 8 back on it.
so if anyone has an idea or a good zv5 image, or a link or something! or a way to root it as is.. please help!!!
thanx

Dear all,
Its really embarrassing but i have to admit that i have no idea about anything related to rooting or updating phone through flash files etc.
I have just purchased LG optimus G Pro online which is Korean version F240K (Olleh carrier) the phone is till in transit however i am not sure how can i update the phone. Since its unlocked and i am from India i don't know if OTA can be possible. I was told by seller that i can root the phone. But i don't really know what is rooting how its works and how its done. After rooting what has to be done etc i have no idea as i have never done this. I do know that if i do something wrong in rooting or flashing( these terms i have just heard from some people and on Google) my phone can be dead and cant be recovered.
I may be asking too much here but can anyone here help me specifically to update this device and help me to use all that is required?? I will be highly grateful if that can be done please.
Also can anyone tell me if there is FAKE LG g pro available in markets?? Cos i heard there are clones available in Korean markets for phones like Samsung hence i want to be sure about this

If u like to update your phone with stock kitkat, do not root or use any custom recovery. Use the usual lg software to pet it find updates. If it still doesnt find it, then you should download the lg firmware kdz file and flash it with lgflashtools.
Or if you are going to have custom roms installed, u have to root your phone and install freegee to have a custom recovery installed. After this u can install a custom rom designed for your phone model and try them out.

We both have the same problem. We both have partition error and unable to boot the phone and causes the hardware to malfunction. We also don't have IMEI which I used the lgflashtool and stated null. So we have to wait for a really good solution to unbrick this hardbricked phone

Roms for AT&T V495?

Are there any working ROMs or even recovery for the G Pad F 8 (V495)?
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA Free mobile app

Not at this moment. We need more people to be interested in such.
Fortunately, there's a recovery for the V496 (T-Mobile variant).
We need testing for the v495.
Look here.. Make sure to back up your exisiting recovery. Then flash this. If it works, make sure to reply here or at the other thread. If not, still let us know.
In the event we ever get roms, you wont be able to flash anything for a specific device that isn't v496. Atleast until someone rebuilds the recovery for your device.
In any event. I would like you to contact me so that I can walk you through a dump of all of your devices partitions, except the personal ones.

i guess it is a start, as there has been no info on these tablets. i have one and really like it, but it would be nice to get rid of all the att bloatware. i have it unlocked and am using defense mobile for carrier but i cannot use it to tether or hotspot. looking forward to more info.

I have this device for US Cellular. I would really love to install CM rom on it. From my understanding the two problems are the locked bootloader that prevent us from installing a rom, and also there being no ROMs that support our version.

Specifically, a locked bootloader also makes it either impossible or extremely difficult to have root, too, which of course is a prerequisite for installing anything custom.

Also to mention that you can root it with Kingroot but there is a good chance it will also brick it. I have v495 sitting here waiting for a proper KDZ.
I keep searching everyday hoping I see a KDZ pop up. Nothing as of yet. I just bought an nVidia K1 Shield to use in place of this thing for now. Maybe one day I will get it back working.

King root 4.6.2 will give you root on marshmallow but only till you reboot.. Would be happy to help out in the cause.

Can you walk me through what would be needed to get that root up? I tried it yesterday and it kept failing. I am trying to recovery data lost when a user profile was deleted. Many of those recovery apps need it and I would be eternally grateful

my device is alos bricked

waiting for the proper firmware for making my tablet working. If you got one, an you help me in that please

LG V495
Hello!
After unsuccessful firmware, I had the same problem as badvs3vil https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67942420&postcount=29 blurred / damaged video screen.
I was flashing firmware from LG V490 using LGFlashTool2014.
As a result, immediately after the end of the firmware, stripes appeared on the tablet screen, and nothing was visible :crying:
There are sounds of charging, the tablet responds to touch.
Please help restore the tablet!

You can install LG-AK495 to fix it.

How can i do this? Do you have detailed instructions?

It turned out to solve the problem with a distorted image on the screen. Here I downloaded the firmware:
LG G Pad F 8.0 UK495 Stock ROM Firmware (Flash File)
Download the official LG G Pad F 8.0 UK495 Stock ROM Firmware (Flash File) for your device. We also provide Stock ROM for other LG devices.
lgstockrom.com
LG_G_Pad_F_8.0_UK495_LGUK495_UK49520c_00_0718
After installation, the image is normal!!

So, I guess there's no custom roms for this thing, huh? That's a shame. The thing is super slow and running Android 6 with AT&T bloatware

Looks like it. I found this tablet sitting in my drawer and thought I'd flash some AOSP or similar custom ROM, but not happening.

Hey,
Your question doesn't seem to be correct. You need to explain a little more about it. Before i can help you i want to ask these questions.
1: Have you rooted your device. 2: Have you flashed twrp recovery. 3: If you are running a stock marshmallow rom then how you installed it by LG Tool or KDZ method. 4: How are you trying to open this recovery (By key combination or some type of software)
I know these are strange questions but i can help you better in this way.

I suggest you do a lot of reading and when you think you understand it all read again because if you don't you may make your phone unusable.I give you this warning because obviously with the answers you have given you lack the basic knowledge of rooting and installing a custom recovery.
I recommend you read these links and then read them again until you are 100% sure you know what you are doing >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/lg-g3-sticky-roll-thread-t3123907 << if you have questions on any of the links just post the qustion in the relevant thread for the link given. I'm not trying to put you off just trying to make sure you understand everything so that you don't make your device unusable.
Good luck and do plenty of reading first..
