I have the rogers version of the G3 and i know the bootloader is not unlocked yet but im wondering if I can install xposed framework on it without worrying of bricking the phone and not having a backup incase anything goes wrong. Can anyone confirm its safe?

Depends what you mean by "safe". You don't risk anything besides having to restore your phone with LG Suite (worst case senario). I always use Xposed on all my phones and never had any issue though

It won't. Just be careful to only install modules that are compatible with your phone.

thanks. im going to go do that now
Also don't uninstall a xposed module without first making sure that you turn off the module and restore the setting it changed. I made this mistake late one night and it soft bricked my F400S, I fixed it but I learned to not mess with my phone when I'm tired.

So Friday i went to verizon and bought me a new LG G3 phone, 32G memory 3G RAM, you know the good **** LOL. Well when i got home i wanted to root the phone but when i looked it up there was many options, IOROOT, TowelRoot, and Stump Root. So i tried towel root on the phone but when i clicked the button towel root said my device isnt compatible and my phones build is the VS98510B. So at that point i decided to try IOROOT. When i launched the batch file i made sure i made myself a developer, got the proper drivers, made it connect via usb and set the phone connection to Ethernet. Well in the batch file it said everything was good and that i just needed to click any button to continue well i did that but when i clicked a button it simply closed the batch file. All i clicked was the space bar and it closed. Stump root isnt compatible and im afraid to use bruteforce mode. Any one got any help with this? Andriod Kitkat 4.4.2
Use the brut force method in stump. Takes about 5 minutes.

So when i root it do i need to back up anything? Ive heard of whats called TWRP but idk what that is
I used stump root. My phones still works. You can't install twrp because bootloader is still locked, have to wait for a way to unlock it.

Read a bit here TWRP is a recovery and backup software for when you flash a custom ROM.. You're not flashing any custom ROMs just yet.. So... I don't think you need to backup anything just yet. After you root the phone you can use TWRP to backup your current stock ROM .. Good luck ..
:good:
I used ioroot with no problems. Check out this vid, pretty straight fwd on what you need to do.

My pleasure Hope you can find root using the desired software.. I'm in Korea..using the F400k but the latest update (v10l) couldn't find root using any of the available tools.. so.. I had to downgrade to the previous (v10g) and got root again. :victory:

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

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.

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.
Would it be possible to inject something into a kdz and root that way? I know JOSH1X posted that pie kdz for all variants regardless of locked or unlocked bootloader.
I apologise if I'm completely wrong just trying to get some insight on this

The problem is that every kdz has an RSA Certificate witch will break if the kdz was edited. I do have a plan that can work but I'm still not sure and it's possible to completely lock the phone because it detected an edited boot (where magisk goes). It's possible to get system root too actually but I'm not sure if it's even going to get flashed.

I just need someone to test it since my bootloader is unlocked and it has disabled security. If you want I can tell you how to do it but again. I'm not sure if it will trigger security but even if it does you should (not 100% sure) be able to go back with LG Up.
Again if it fails I'm not completely sure if it's possible to go back without LG service. (I'm saying that because I don't want to brick someone's main phone)

This and a rooted G5. and samee, i'll throw some money to whoever can get this rooted, I'm about to ditch the G7 for a OnePlus7 at this point.
Good bye LG!
Has anyone tried this method with success? I need to know.

You'll end up breaking your phone's functionality, simply causing boot looping, unable to root your device and have to install a full base factory ota to fix the damage done. And you wouldn't even be able to backup anything either since the device will basically be semi-bricked

Thanks for this. Am not new to flashing updates with root. Was hoping for a more detailed explanation. Like the ota updates a certain partition which when rooted will cause a bootloop because a certain partition wont readable

Every partition except the boot partition will be ok for the most part but you'll still end up boot looping even if you installed magisk over again, so unless you do a fresh install which depending on how badly you messed something up or forgot to disable any modules, you will have to start from scratch to save your phone. But if you already made a backup whether it's before everything went south or in twrp to save your data then you should be okay
Im trying to root the phone and install some brick prevention. I used helium backup already, is that enough?
And is it possible to turn on oem unlocking yet on the US models?
Also fastboot wont work.
No such thing as fastboot on Samsung phones.
There's plenty of information in these Note20 Ultra forums on the ins & outs of rooting, use the search function to locate the appropriate threads.......
A $1G paper weight.
Why do you want to root it?
These phones can run well, stock.
If it seems like a bad idea, it probably is.

What a smug response. I'm loving this phone, I just want Linux on it and don't want to turn it into a $1000 paperweight.
And I also just want to know if helium is enough to prevent a brick.

Android is a modified Linux kernel.
There's always risk to rooting especially if you are inexperienced.

You are misinformed. 9 series to nearly current anything one ui 3.0 and lower can be bootloader unlocked and rooted.
Nothing is enough to prevent a brick. There is no oem unlock. No fast boot.
