there are two different versions of the gpad tablet. If you didn't buy it through the Google Play Store it is not the GPE.
I am not aware that adb can be used with the bootloader on the regular LG g pad.
the second thread in the general section has information on rooting your lg device.
if you did buy it through the Play Store then make that the first thread.
might I ask what you're trying to do? There may be another way.
ah gpe google play edition of course! i am trying to put a custom reocvery onto it. using a script i found online and it doesn't seem to be working.

The first thread in general will show you how to accomplish that in both windows and Linux. Where was the other script please?

also, if you are using Linux you may follow the first post in my signature below for the fluxbox blog. In there is a complete guide to root your pad from start to finish using Linux as your base.
the second step is to unlock the bootloader. how do i accomplish this?

are you using Windows or Linux?
you first need to download and install ADB properly on your computer. Then make sure that your device is read by your computer, and then proceed from there. Again, if you are using Linux feel free to follow my signature below if you are using Windows however you will need to definitely follow the guide in general.
right now im on windows. the guide in general is what this post was about. when i type the command adb bootloader reboot to get into the bootloader it just reboots the tablet. is there a way to manual do this?

There is. From a device that is off, plug in your USB cord and then press the power button and the down volume button at the same time. The bootloader screen should come up. I don't know that this works for a locked bootloader.
When you type in "adb devices", you should receive a prompt on your tablet instructing you do accept your computer as an interface. I recommend trying this first. Without adb you stand a good chance of messing up your device.
im not getting a dialog box on the tablet but adb does see the tablet

maybe I'm wrong, by phone off, connect the USB while holding the back button, automatically installs the drivers, right?

yeah, ok, the procedure enables the search of the Internet adb drivers (Windows Vista), but these are not found in databases of Microsoft.
So the only way is to install them manually as specified above.

how did u install adb drives ?
I can't seem to get this to work. I'm trying to unlock my phone using the nexus toolkit but when I put my phone into fastboot mode and click the unlock option on the toolkit I just get '< waiting for device >'. Every video I watch just shows them plugging the phone in and then having the program unlock it for them. It's not doing the same for me. Any suggestions?
Stop using the toolkit. If something goes wrong you'll have no clue how to fix it. Read one of the "real" rooting guides that uses adb and fastboot and you'll save yourself a whole lot of headache down the road.

I still get the 'waiting for device' when I do it this way too. I have the most current samsung drivers. I also did everything to set up ADB.
uninstall the drivers and reinstall using the naked drivers.

I think i know how you hardbricked your G3
Its because you wrote the G2 versions of the android bootloader, kernel and download mode partition
Its because of these commands below. It would have copied these partitions to your phone and then written them to your device
adb.exe push aboot.img /data/local/tmp/aboot.img
adb.exe push laf.img /data/local/tmp/laf.img
adb.exe push boot.img /data/local/tmp/boot.img
adb.exe push recovery.img /data/local/tmp/recovery.img
You can follow this guide instead with the D855 TOT+DLL but im doubtful it will work. This methods seems to be hit and miss http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2772199
If it also wrote the System Bootlooder your phone would have automatically kicked into QHUSB_DLOAD and that is alot easier to fix than this

Correct. But I would uninstall HTC Sync. The drivers will remain.
HTC Sync doesn't play nice with ADB, and after the drivers are installed it is pretty much useless

Open up your ADB folder. Then shift+right click and open the cmd window there.
It should look something like this: C:\Users\NAME\sdk\adb>
enter adb reboot bootloader
then fastboot devices

Transfer it to your internal storage. By root directory, it means just to the storage and not in a folder. Just drag and drop it to your phone's storage with the Windows file explorer

I wish. At&t has the bootloader locked down. All the other steps will probably work. Twrp would have to be built for M255. Thanks for the response.
So, you don't have "allow device to be OEM unlocked" option in developer options?

Not as of yet. Sorry.
Hey all, just got this phone, I had originally "done some research" when I was at the att store, and found root instructions for the lg k20 PLUS (missed that plus part). So I bought the phone and now im finding out there's currently no root method, which means, as usual, I have to at least try. I warn you, I'm no fulltime dev, so don't get too excited, im the kind of guy that still needs plenty of help with this stuff, but I'm setting up a dev environment and digging in.
My question right now is, has anyone been able to access the bootloader? I read thru the k20plus root topic a bit and they say to use
#adb reboot bootloader#
or hold VOLDOWN and plug usb while powered off.
Nothing seems to bring me to a bootloader.
#adb reboot bootloader#
reboots the device and I assume it tries to boot the bootloader and fails, because windows chirps as if it's been disconnected, then my device proceeds to boot up normally.
Holding VOLDOWN and plugging the usb makes the phone show a splash screen momentarily and then switch to the powered off charging screen.
Has anybody been able to access the bootloader?
-BMFC
Still waiting here too. ??
What u mean with "bootloader" are fastboot.
To get into download-mode hold Vol+ & plug-in usb
Fastboot may for u arivable but u have to wipe ur recovery partition first.
Then reboot into recovery...but wait !
It's look like freeze..plug-in usb and hit on ur PC "fastboot device"
Welcome !
