Hi folks. Long time rooter/rom user of phones and tablets. I have some questions for my V500
Since it is rooted, would this be the next step - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2641409
(Installing TWRP for a custom recovery)
Since I'm on 4.4.2 with a V50020d base, would I then focus on getting 4.4.2 base roms and flash them via that TWRP I installed?
This does seem like a really fun and snappy device. From what I can tell, it has an IR Blaster right? Are there any roms that don't work with the blaster (I see this sometimes in the Galaxy Tab roms for devices that have the IR blaster)
Once you root, the next step is installing TWRP so you can install roms.
I also have the V50020d UK version.
Stumproot which is available here worked fine for me, easiest root i have ever done. Just install apk and your done.
Installing and getting custom recovery to successfully flash a ROM is another story. I have managed to get TWRP flashed to the device and boots correctly. However it fails when i try to flash CM11 or any other ROM. After reading around I think I may have to downgrade the stock 4.4.2 to 4.2.2 in order to get TWRP to flash. I am not struggling to find the correct stock 4.2.2 kdz firmware for the v50020d device.
It's been a bit of a head scratcher! Let me know how you get on with yours.
Cracked it today. I've written a guide for all UK users who are stuck with V50020d, compiling all the info. http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g-pad-83/help/v50020d-uk-root-twrp-flash-stock-4-4-2-t2938914
Hope it helps

I did mine with towelroot. I'll be looking to flash a custom recovery soon. I wanted to pop in here first to double check before going ahead with a recovery and a rom.
I new to LG and have 2 of these for my boys.
I have a us and uk one, i assume these will need different ways of rooting and flashing twrp etc?
I rooted one with Kingoroot no issues, but damn, getting cwm to install is a mare.
Both mine are on 4.4.2.
Looked at so many tuts, they all change due to time and i had to give up as was draining me.
Any tips on how to get cwm installed fella.
Best wishes
I've just created a tutorial for first time custom recovery installation.

Thank you Delta. I will check it out ASAP.
Hi, i succesfully rooted my LG G3. The main reason for doing this is because i was back able to write to SD card with many apps. Now that is ok. But i wonderd what else i can do since i am rooted now. I am actually happy with stock ROM but i would like to get rid of all that bloatware. What do you guys recommend. Delete all apps i don't need or flash new ROM without bloatware. I read that with many ROM's we lose the quality of the camera. Let me say that i use the camera on my LG G3 ALOT! So i don't wanna lose quality on the camera. Should i stay then with stock ROM?
thanks
camera quality problems exist in non stock based roms (cm12 based) don't worry about it in stock based roms.
After rooting my stock rom I usually install Titanium Backup and remove the programs I don't use. Then I install Startup Manager and take control on what starts up with android.
Do you guys install TWRP custom recovery?

Installing a custom recovery like TWRP is good for a rooted device . It is necessary for installing a custom rom. The easiest way to insatll TWRP is by using autorec app from playstore. You just have to download the app for your device and open it.
Titanium backup or ROM toolbox are good apps for a rooted phone and both of them will allow you to remove bloatware.
Ok thanks will look at it
Hey!
I just rooted my phone and installed S6 lollipop ported rom on it, but now I want to install S5 port. It says first I have to install stock rom. How do I do that? I read about downloading rom from samsung-updates, but I don't know which one is mine
Please help!
Hi,
Go to Settings - About Phone and see your baseband.
Good luck
Thanks!
Hello Guys. Need a little help. Have a rooted Note 2 i317 (At&t) that had a custom rom but I wiped with the recovery on it which was TWRP 2.4.3.0. Now I tried putting the NOTE 4 rom for the model I have but it won't take. Again I have TWRP 2.4.3.0. the only rom I can get to work so far is Slimbean 4.3. Is there any thread were it gives me required files for updating the rom. I have tried updating kernel and other stuff but the only rom that works without a problem is Slimbean 4.3 with the Gapp 4.3 pack.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I know I f'd up by wiping without having full understanding but I've been away from Rooting since the older sammy's from Metro.
Also tried updating TWRP with the App and it gave me a notice saying "Something is wrong!" but it has version 2.8.7.0 on it at least that's what it says. IDKWTF happened. Please help. Going nuckin futs.
UPDATE: Got it figures out guys. Used another computer and everything is good. Used TWRP and Installed another version and performed a return to stock and started fresh. ALLGOOD. Thanks anyways.
I have my note 2 on android 4.4.2 stock Rom rooted and I have tried to install cm11 and different ROM's but didnt work I have tried different recovery versions from twrp to cwm and still didnt work .
I thought the problem was from the android version so I have tried to install stock 4.1.1 back but still didnt work.
It always give me an error and ends with unsuccessful install
Pleases I need help to install cm11 or something but not the stock.
Are you installing TWRP using Odin?
