Dude, thanks. I love CWM, and your edition is ultimate, lol. Was so sad that I had to use TWRP.

Thank you for porting this for the gpad. Now we need a kernel in order to have two roms installed? Hopefully someone will post a guide about how to flash 2 roms using this recovery.

How do i install this recovery ? I'm on stock room/ rooted/ stock recovery.

3ways:
1) install a custom recovery like twrp and install the zip file
2)extract the recovery.img from the zip and flash it with adb using the instructions that you can find here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2551499
3)extract the recovery.img from the zip and flash it using an app called flashify


*EDIT* as the recovery.img is not lokified methods 2 and 3 wont work. Only way is to have installed already a custom recovery and flash philz touch as a zip

Thank you. Method 3 it's easy, i'll try it.

edit : Installed, but when i try to boot (only in recovery) i get this message : "Secure Booting Error! Cause: boot certification verify"

edit 2 : In the end i have fixed. I don't know how. Installed stock recovery then twrp, then PhilZ ;).

its normal to get this message when you start the recovery, it just means that loki is working

    CWM Recovery and Root Bundle for LG G Pad 8.3 V50010a

    For all LG G Pad 8.3 V50010a owners who want to flash this great recovery directly without TWRP, I made a bundle with loki patched PhilZ Touch recovery 6.12.8 for V50010a only.
    If you have a different G Pad than V50010a you have to patch the recovery by yourself first (checkout https://github.com/djrbliss/loki/blob/master/README.txt how to do that).

    I also added a updated root package with latest superuser.apk and su binary in case the device is not rooted yet.

    Code:
    ---------------------------------------------------
    Requirements to flash recovery:
    ---------------------------------------------------
    
    1.) If not done yet, your LG Gpad must be rooted before flashing recovery image (use root.bat inside root_gpad-updated folder)
    
    2.) You need fastboot and adb on your PC to flash recovery image
    
    3.) ADB Debugging must be enabled on your LG Gpad
    
    ---------------------------------------------------
    Usage:
    ---------------------------------------------------
    
    Open a terminal and execute the following commands inside recovery folder.
    
    adb push recovery-image-name.lok /data/local/tmp
    
    adb push loki_flash /data/local/tmp
    
    adb shell
    
    su
    
    chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/loki_flash
    
    /data/local/tmp/loki_flash recovery /data/local/tmp/recovery-image-name.lok
    
    adb reboot recovery
    
    ---------------------------------------------------
    -The End-
    ---------------------------------------------------

    I hopes this helps to save some time for new users! ;)

    It seems that the 3rd method doesn't work. I got this error "Secure Booting Error! Cause: boot certification verify" too. My g pad tried to boot forever stuck in there, until I plugged it in the usb and was unstuck or something. Then I tried UP/DOWN + POWER key combinations but both failed to boot. By pressing only the POWER button it boots normally back to the ROM.

    Any ideas? I really don't wanna mess up with adb, fastboot etc, but it seems that its kinda unavoidable.

    ok first of all is that the message you get http://i42.tinypic.com/5n7psj.jpg ? I get this message every time i boot into recovery (i have twrp atm) and it's normal, it means that loki is working. Now about the key combo, it works and you can enter recovery, it's a little tricky though. Keep pressing the vol down (you will keep it pressed down until the end ) and then keep pressing the power button. When the lg logo appears release the power button only for 0.5 or 1 second and then press power and vol up at the same time (so you are actually pressing all 3 buttons). It works, it just need some practice.

    Did you actually manage to flash philz touch recovery? What recovery you have now?

    In case you want to use adb just download and install minimal adb ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2317790 ) if you dont want to mess with google's sdk tools. Put loki_flash and recovery.img inside the folder where you have installed adb, press shift+right click->open command window here and follow the instructions from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2551499 . Plz also make sure to replace twrp.lok with the name of the recovery you want to flash, in this situation its recovery.img. Its a very easy process and loki wont let you flash the recovery.img if it isnt suitable for your tablet.
