that got much further and even booted into CyanogenMod 11 with the VZW Gpad V810!!
After unzipping your file, overwriting the update-binary file in meta-inf\com\google\android with the file from the thread you posted, it said successful. Rebooted once while it said Android is updating app xxx of xxx, then Welcome to CyanogenMod
Seems to be missing drivers though. First boot seemed stable except it didn't recognize Verizon mobile data (or SIM card). I was in there at least 10 minutes. In settings, I used the slider to try and turn on wifi, but it never turned blue and a few seconds later it reverted back off. I slid bluetooth on, and it did the same thing and went into a boot loop. It gets to the android desktop for about 5 seconds then reboots. I wiped cache and dalvik cache and it got no further.
well, I'm the only one trying right now.

I might have access to a friend's vk810 next week, so you could wait as well
Hey do you happen to have the stock recovery img? I mean I have the stock aboot but not relay sure how the loki patch recovery works. Would like to have in case I would go back to get ota update(if there ever is any). I am also guessing it would need to be loki patched to push because of the locked bootloader. If you could posibly shed some light on how we would go about to go back to stock recovery that would be awesome. Thank You.
adb shell
su
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
exit
exit
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
Nope. Those commands are for restoring stock recovery instead of having the custom TWRP recovery. Stock recovery is required when applying an ota update ( which probably will never show up from Verizon)My home Internet has crapped out and I need to get data working on the VK810, so unfortunately need to revert to stock for a bit since data isn't working on this port of CM11 yet. However, tried the above and get the following:
/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery: cannot open for write: Permission denied
Edit: interestingly, I was able to run this from the device itself with a Terminal Emulator, but it doesn't seem to restore the stock image, even after a reboot. Is that not the intent of these commands?

To restore the stock ROM: remember how you are supposed to backup inside twrp before flashing cm11? Go back to twrp and restore from that backup. Stock ROM will be restored and usable
(but recovery is still TWRP. If you want full stock ROM and stock recovery , then restore from the backup AND follow the DD instructions you quoted )
I'm having an identical issue to an earlier user. That user had not originally assumed root (run "su"). In my case I've tried everything but can't get su to take, based on the instructions here.

Thank you for the reply. Sometimes I wonder how I wake up in the morning, what a dumb move on my part..
You're right. I was assuming the loki flash stuff was to obtain root.
I have not found any rooting options for the VK810 and believed this was the hack to overcome that, flash a recovery, then flash a root from the recovery.
The only two rooting options I've found (ioRoot & EasyRoot), either appears to work with the VK810, and I don't see anything else on XDA or Google.
How did everyone else on the VZW VK810 get root?
Thank you in advance!
btw, "0) Xperia Root by cubeundcube" works for me, offline rootThank you for the reply. Sometimes I wonder how I wake up in the morning, what a dumb move on my part..

Thanks. I did eventually figure out that this isn't the stock ROM, just recovery. And stupid me, no backup before flashing CM11. Oops, guess I'll make do until we see a ROM with LTE support or a stock ROM, nothing on LG's site but the open source files.
@paperWastage, thank you so much, Option #0 (Xperia Root by cubeundcube) worked perfectly!
You mentioned you'll post a backup of your stock LTE ROM to the other poster. Just curious, which version is that?
Don't think vk810 has 4.4.2 yet. Besides, v500 got kk in April. Verizon takes forever to approve a new ROM, if they didn't skip supporting this device alreadyIs 4.4.2 out yet for the Verizon version? I just got this tablet today. I have experience porting roms to other devices. Does anyone know, besides the l
LTE radio, what else is different in this device compared to the v500?

The CPU in vk810 is a weaker variant of the v500. Kernel changes points to vk810 having an additional power supply component-bq24262
open your terminal and cd to where loki_flash and twrp.lok is
now run these commands:
adb push loki_flash /data/local/tmp/loki_flash
adb push twrp.lok /data/local/tmp/twrp.lok
adb shell
su
cd /data/local/tmp
chmod 777 loki_flash
./loki_flash recovery /data/local/tmp/twrp.lok
exit
exit
adb reboot recovery
That is it you will now be in recovery
cheers
Thanks for the mention @Drgravy! I've initiated a pull request for the loki_patch changes to djrbliss' git
