[vk810][altev]stock 4.2.2/4.4.2 ROM backup (using TWRP)

paperWastage · May 31, 2014

If you have a non-working android/recovery/bootloop, here is a way to restore FULL STOCK with a PC
http://xdaforums.com/lg-g-pad-83/general/vk810-verizon-lg-g-pad-8-3-to-stock-t2800857

NOTE:
This is only for the vk810 Verizon LTE model (product name altev)

/system and boot.img (kernel) is backed up. stock recovery IS NOT included (scroll to bottom of post)

Download: (neither has recovery.img)

A) (JB4.2) Fully stock 4.2.2 system&boot.img, prerooted

B) (JB4.2) Stock 4.2.2 system&boot.img with a lot of crapware removed, prerooted

C) (KK4.4)Fully stock 4.4.2 system&boot.img, prerooted (you'll need to install SuperSU apk manually though) mirror

You need TWRP installed
Untar and copy the folder somewhere on the device (Windows: use p7zip)
Boot to TWRP
Backup your current ROM.
Yes, remember to backup your current ROM
Wipe cache/dalvik/data
Restore this backup within TWRP
Reboot to ROM
Once ROM boots, it'll say "Preparing your tablet" and get stuck there for some time (probably copying files from the /system to the empty /data partition

If you want to restore stock recovery, you'll need to do it manually via dd

sure get it here: http://goo.gl/cmrBwV

shouldn't need to loki patch it
just copy it to your internal storage and flash with dd

open your terminal on your pc enter the following commands

Code:

adb shell su dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery exit exit

just make sure the commands are exactly right

You probably don't have it in the right folder. Do a backup of your rom and then place this in the same folder as that one is in.

Ended up doing just that and it worked. Thanks...

paper can you update this with the new version?

paperWastage · Aug 3, 2014

I've updated OP with a version of fully stock (prerooted, with all the bloat/crapware)

Will upload 4.4.2 once I (or DrGravy) gets TWRP working on 4.4.2
