Hey I'm completely new here and kinda new to rooting. I think i'v only done it once. Anyways i ordered a phone and it will be arriving shortly. The website says its the LG E975 model, but it has a blue option. I'v done alot of reasearch and apparantly it is another japanese version by "au KDDI" model LGL21; the more common one by doccomo is the red variant. I found results in the forum for doccomo's version but i can't find much about KDDI's one. Is there a root for it at this time and if there is, is there any use for it? So sad this phone is not that common

Hi! I was wondering if anybody had found a method to root the G Pad on Verizon Wireless. I've searched everywhere and apparently the methods for the standard version won't work but I've also not seen methods for the Verizon model. Thanks for your help!

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

Hello,
I am trying to root an LG G Pad 2 8.0 (V498) but i cannot find the subforum for it, it doesnt seem to exist...
Does anyone knows where i can find any infos for this model ?
thanks!
its a relatively new model, especially in Canada.
I got one from Fido Wireless, but the sticker says v497; I have the gpad 2 8.0, but with wrong sticker?
anyways, there are plenty of guides to try in the lg g3 forum along side the one click root methods like kingoroot, root genius, and more...
LTE / data units are v495, v496, v497, and the wifi only version g pad II is V498 all sport the same hardware features other than data of course. I've rooted my v495 using the method in the all info v496 thread and it looks like they are making headway in development.
Thank you, Bryan.
that clarifies things for me.
so, do we know whats being worked on? like recoveries, kernels, etc...?
if so, do we know about cross-compatibility for each model?
Hi there will anyone out there be able to direct me to the root method for the Lg G Pad
Rogers version v497 any help would be appreciated

Look here, use at your own risk, I recently bricked my V495 AT&T trying to load TWRP Custom recovery. Rooting was not a problem though.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g-pad-83/help/tmobile-gpad-f-8-0-v496-info-t3139894
Being that there is no v498 sub, I guess I'll side track this thread a little. Someone mentioned here that v495-v498 are all essentially the same hardware. My son cracked the screen on his v498. I found only 1 supplier selling a specific v498 screen, from China, for $90.. I have found plenty of the other models like v495 or v496 for a little cheaper and in the US. I'm wondering if anyone knows if these other LCD/Digitizers should work on the v498? I have it opened up and, I actually see a LG-V495 stamped in the plastic even though the back sticker says V498, so I am assuming the v495/v496 screens should work on this, but just want to verify before I order one.

This is a little late to the game, but here's what worked for me on the wifi-only LG G Pad II 8.0 (v498), and it might help others.
I used Kingroot (4.8.2) to root the tablet, then used Supersume Pro from the Play Store to remove Kingroot and install Supersu. (I'd tried a couple other methods for removing Kingroot first, but they didn't work, and Supersume Pro (v. 9.3.7) nworked really quickly and with zero pain, so that's the method I'd recommend. It does cost a few bucks, but IMO, it was worth it for the ease of use.) It's working perfectly. (Supersume Pro is available at the Play store at: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=darkslide.com.supersumepro -- can't post the link because I'm a new member.)
I've rooted before using clockwork mod, etc., on other devices, but Kingroot does make rooting simpler. If you don't trust Kingroot for rooting, another method might work, but I had trouble finding one specifically for this device.
Cons to using Kingroot (and keeping it):
1. It installs a cleaner app called "Purify" which you may or may not want, and which you have to install to get to the rooting screen. It can be uninstalled separately, though.
2. Kingroot really messed with my Okay Google app. It turns itself on in "Accessibility" mode (or however you might put that correctly), and when turned off from the Accessibility settings, Okay Google will work again. However, Kingroot "insists" on turning itself on in the Accessibility settings, and will keep resetting, overriding your setting. It may also hijack other aspects of the tablet that I didn't notice -- I replaced it with SuperSU shortly after rooting.
3. Many people are nervous about the amount of data sent to the Kingroot servers in China during the rooting process. I'm on the fence about whether it's dangerous or not. I think it potentially is -- regardless of the location or ownership of the servers -- but I have no idea whether it's *actually* dangerous or not. If that aspect worries you, you should try another method to root your tablet. I think I would have been more reluctant to use Kingroot if I had the version of this tablet with the sim card.
4. Kingroot is quite recalcitrant to removal and replacement. Two methods that I used to try to remove Kingroot (without unrooting the device) didn't work -- and even after the program was no longer on the tablet, I could not replace its su with a different binary. I had to reinstall and uninstall using SuperSume. I might have had better results replacing it with SuperSu manually if I'd been more patient, but I didn't want to spend too much time on it.
Pros to using Kingroot:
1. It's fast.
2. It requires little technical skill.
3. It can be removed and replaced with SuperSu (or, presumably, some other superuser manager), though that ranges from very easy (using SuperSume) to extremely difficult (especially if you don't play with rooting a lot -- and people with only one or two Android devices generally root once then forget it till the next time they need to root a new device, and so don't have a huge amount of experience with it).
I hope this helps someone!
I'm going to be receiving my tablet soon and since it's stuck with Android 5.0 I was hoping to find a custom ROM with Android 6 but it turns out there's not even a thread for this device. Does anybody knows of any ROMs for this device? I'm getting mine from Fido and it's also LTE enabled. Rooting is not required for me since I'm not really into customization much but having the latest version of Android is important.

I also have an V497 - Fido and would like to change the ROM since it becomes slow and almost unusable. Stuck on Android 5. Have you finally found any options like LOS or other working for G Pad II V495-V498 family?
Thanks in advance
Hello all!
I have LG G4 F500 (No S/L/K) which appears to be a very rare model as far as i have searched the internet. The software version is F50010s. Its running Android 5.1.
The phone works pretty well sometimes for the whole day but at times it goes into a bootloop for 5-6 times and then back on. The performance is quite unreliable as sometimes it restarts when taking a photo or playing game or even when idle....
I would like to know if it is possible to root it and disable the bigger core or if it can be "converted" to 818 or something similar of that sort.... I feel really helpless as its an old device and not covered with warranty.
P.S Reason why I am posting it in Android development section is that i also want to know if this model is known to ROM development people and would be interested if someone suggests a ROM that may be compatible with my phone model.
Still it's a bad place to post this. Our developers only worked on 815 and 811 as those can be officially unlocked. About the rest, did you try or read about UsU?
