So I was an idiot and didn't check the version number of my G Pad before trying to install a custom recovery a while ago. My tablet tried to to a software update and ended up shutting off and never turning back on. When I plug it into a charger, I get the battery icon that tells me that my battery is fully charged, but aside from that I can't turn it on at all. I've tried holding the power button down for thirty seconds and holding the volume down rocker and power button together for thirty seconds. Nothing is working. I really need to get this tablet working. My backup tablets (a Kindle Fire 1st Gen and an HP Touchpad) are both showing their age pretty badly.
Does anyone have the KDZ file for the v430? I also can't seem to find the drivers or the LG Flash Tool anywhere, so working links to those would be appreciated. Barring that, is there a way to boot into fastboot and install the stock recovery?
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

My Nexus 7 (2013) won't turn on after I tried to install a custom font from the latest version of Rom Toolbox Pro.
I unlocked the bootloader and rooted it fresh this afternoon with WugFresh's nexus root toolkit. It took a little bit of fiddling to get my pc to recognise my device and for adb/fastboot to work with it, but I managed. Everything went fine once that was sorted out.
I have installed the latest version of Pacman rom for my device (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2408829) from the website linked here, installed all my apps and made a back up before I started using Pimp My Rom and Rom Toolbox Pro.
From Pimp My Rom I installed the GPS fix for Europe/United Kingdom, and the miscellaneous tweaks.
From Rom Toolbox Pro, I installed the font "segoeui". After making these changes with these apps, I rebooted by nexus 7 wherein it entered a bootloop. I waited for 4-5 minutes to see if it would exit the bootloop on it's own, but nothing happened so I held down the three side buttons and my device went off.
After that I plugged it into my pc, which recognises that a device has been plugged in and lists it as "QHSUSB_DLOAD" but can't seem to do anything with it. I tried pressing the power button, and the default symbol for battery charging appeared on the screen so I tried to boot my device into recovery by holding all three buttons again. After doing that, the screen went off and no matter how long I hold down the volume and power buttons, nothing at all happens.
I have only had this tablet for a few hours and I am very worried that I may have inadvertantly destroyed it with the most innocuous amateur rooting, and that I won't be able to return it for a refund if I have.
Can anyone offer me any advice?
Thanks
I think your problem is ... holding ALL three buttons.
Try again with just Power & Volume down. You made a backup so it would be easy to get back.

You're right. I held power and volume down, and it booted into the bootloader. Thanks Bit of a false alarm there, I just panicked when the screen went black and wouldn't come back on ><
Thanks for your help!
No problemo. Glad you're back in business.
I have multiple android devices and they have different key combos to get to recovery.
I got mixed up sometimes. Why don't they all agree to the same steps?
Hi, I messed up my installing a ROM so had to get the tablet back to stock, I used the LG Recovery tool, however after it had finished my tablet is now stuck in a boot loop. I've tried running the utility multiple times but it seems to not work.
My tablet is a UK version and the firmware that the utility has installed is V50020D, I dont know if they are compatible or not, if anyone has any idea what to do please let me know.

Now you have to do a factory reset.
LG G Pad 8.3 Factory Reset Mode:
1. With Device Powered Off And Unplugged
2. Press and hold Power Button + Volume Down
3. When the LG logo shows up, release the power button only
4. Now press and hold the Power and Volume Up button while keeping your hold on the Volume Down button
5. When the factory reset screen appears, release your hold on all buttons
6. Follow On Screen Indications
Hello Everyone!
First of all, let me say that i'm desperately in need of help with my phone. Here's what happened to it so everyone knows.
My Phone was bought in UAE and was given to me, i live in the Philippines and it was working fine, i can use it on everyday tasks Until, a few days ago my phone performed updates (auto updates) which made it froze, i tried to press and hold the power button but it doesn't turn off. I removed the battery and restarted my phone then all i get is the Boot screen. I went to recovery mode to perform a wipe/factory reset. it returned with a lot of errors about files missing, etc etc...
At that point i thought that my phone might have been updating the OS when it froze so i DLed a stock firmware because i can still go to download mode.
After a day (crappy internet + limited download speed from sammobile) i finished the firmware download then tried going to download mode on my phone but now, my phone doesnt turn on at all. when i press and hold power+down vol+home nothing happens. i tried going back to recovery mode and still nothing happens. Even if i just press the power key nothing happens at all. I tried charging the phone but its not charging as well, The Battery Icon is not showing on the screen anymore but after minutes f charging i can feel my phone getting warmer.
Anyone experienced this issue before or knows how to fix it? i do not believe that the battery died because it was working just a day before.
Any help and TIPS would greatly help.
again: I cannot go to download/recovery mode nor go to the boot screen.
Hello there,
Try to connect your phone to PC and press power button / vol / home button simultaneously, if PC still recognize your phone, then you still got chance to recover it using Octoplus software?
Hi,
I can't get my tablet (G Pad 8.3) to turn on. It has TWRP recovery on it but there doesn't seem to be any life in the tablet to get into recovery.
I flashed fishears custom kernel and the tablet was working fine, I rebooted it and it started to loop and then just seemed to die on me.
I think I've tried download mode (both volume buttons) but can't get into that either.
I've tried the hold power button for 20 seconds then plug a charger in trick but nothing there either.
Before this happened the tablet had 50% battery so it wasn't really all that low.
Any ideas?
Thanks
hardbrick man, try fix http://http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g-pad-83/help/how-recovered-lg-g-pad-detected-t3207079
Hmm, I'm guessing my tablet has a hardware problem as it is not showing up at all in device manager.
I've got some tools coming tomorrow so I can open the tablet up, hoping a simple battery unplug might revive it! Hmm, I'm guessing my tablet has a hardware problem as it is not showing up at all in device manager.

I do not seem to be having any luck with this tablet. I re-installed the stock rom and now I am in an endless boot loop. The LG logo comes up and then the screen goes off then it comes back on again with the logo then off again. No amount of button pressing or sequences will load recovery.
I can't get the bloody thing in the download mode either. I'm holing both volume buttons then plugging in but it does nothing. I've tried volume up and power and nothing. Any ideas how can I sort this, as there is life in it it just won't respond to anything?
Thanks
Hi
I'd be really really grateful if all of you clearly (more) knowledgeable (than I) could help me.
My phone is a D855 (32gb/3gb) international model which was running on stock v5.0.
I ran v1.3 of the one click root method. and completed the whole process (or so I thought ). However, after the process said it had completed, I removed the usb cable and now find that I am stuck at the LG Logo.
Pulling the battery makes no difference. Once reinserted and power back on, the LED on the top left blinks but no boot.
I have tried to enter download mode (by removing the battery, holding the volume up button and inserting the usb cable) but again, no joy.
Can anyone please tell me what I need to do recover the situation.
Many many thanks
Update: I managed to get into recovery by turning off the phone completely and then pressing and hold Power and Volume Down. When the LG logo appeared, release. After a split second, then pressing volume down and volume up. At the white screen asking you to reset, I pressed Yes two times using Volume buttons. Saw the screen that said erasing data but still stuck at the LG logo.
Can anyone help please?
Update 2: managed to get into download mode by powering down (took the battery out) then holding the volume up button and inserting the usb cable.
What do I need to do next?
hello, you need either the lg mobile suite software or lg flash tool 2014 and a kdz
I would go for lg mobile suite - it will offer an upgrade or select it manually
also -- see the guide from hyelton in g3 general (getting back to stock)
