What about custom recovery for Lollipop...?

Any news?

mescalito83 · Jun 2, 2015

Just a heads up that this root method works for the new v495 as well. Tried it out successfully today.

drikinukoda · Jun 2, 2015

Kirek50 No. There is not any Recovery for LG v490 on Android 5.0.2 Lollipop yet.
because i have a little experience on linux and coding i am trying to find ways to install CWM PhilZ recovery. When and If i find something i will inform you guys.
This Thread has and will have All you Need for LG G Pad 8.0

mescalito83 It might work for many LG Models. Those Guides on this thread are tested and are working on LG v490 i don't know if all of these guides are working on other LG models that's why i don't write that this guide is working on other models. You can write if any of these guides is working on other model but first test it if it works good and then post it. Thanks.

zaf_4 · Jun 9, 2015

Nice work you done here! I will try to root on Lollipop.
I wish we could try some roms from 8.3 but i dont thinks it's possible for now.

drikinukoda · Jun 9, 2015

Thanks zaf_4 (Ευχαριστώ)
I Don't think it will work due to different hardware between those 2 devices!
Πάντως άμα βγει καμία ROM για LG v490 θα την ποστάρω σε αυτό το thread

zaf_4 · Jun 10, 2015

Patriotaki,
δεν σε κατάλαβα! Ευχαριστούμε για την βοήθεια σου.
Thanks for the topic, we should have one for LG G PAD 8.0 V490. I dont have any expectations for roms. I know that's different hardware but it's pitty cause nobody cares for the tablet. It's nice though that we have atleast root for lollipop.

Will this root method work on G pad 8.0 F from tmobile? V496
Are there any roms that would be compatible too?

This root method did not work for my tmobile G Pad F 8.0 (v496). However i was able to root it by using the newest version (4.1 i believe) of kingroot (in english i might add), still trying to find a custom recovery that works. I have cwm flashed now but it's all jacked up lol

Really? Post #3 worked like a champ on my T-Mob v496, except it wanted to install something at 18% not 50 like it says. Haven't messed with recovery yet though, really just need my adaway

. Anyone think we'll get 5.1 on this puppy?

It pulls up cwm when i boot into recovery but anything i hit takes me to a black screen and i have to hard reset. I down know of any roms but i can't say I've looked really either.

The root method on post #3 gave me a red sad face after like %40. Not sure what it actually said since it was in chinese but i tried once again with similar results so i found the latest version of kingroot (4.1 in english) and it worked for me

Root lg v490 lollipop

Hi guys. I tried twice and managed a new method rooot for LG V490 8.0 GPAD LOLLIPOP . Try for yourself here : http://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/general/guide-root-method-lg-devices-t3129197

thefoss · Jun 22, 2015

Hi guys. Successfully rooted T-Mobile V496 using Kingsroot 4.1.x (although I accidentally used the non English one ?). Got the tablet for free via a Father's Day promotion. Gotta say, im pretty im pressed with this thing. Good news is, because of the promotion , we're likely to see more owners and hopefully more development. Going to try to install Xposed next. Will report back.

ianoob · Jun 22, 2015

Kingroot 4.1 worked on my v496 as well, now i can add a swap file so Slacker doesn't close in the background.
Edit - can't create a swap file drep derp, time to tweak the lmk
