Just a reminder for y'all that if anyone gets the OTA for the G Pad 8.3 GPE, please pull the filename of the update before you actually install it, then post it here. Thank you!

this is waiting to be installed on my GPad GPE:

"ff3c360e108c52aac952f10c3dd4c6c5ce66a3ce.signed-KOT49H.L004_user-KTU84P.L002_user_update.zip"

I dunno what version it is though since I've modified stuff in /system and I have to revert everything to stock first.

I am having a problem with drivers once in Recovery/apply updates over ADB. I have updated drivers and ADB Devices shows my device when booted up. But after booting into recovery and subsequently to ADB update mode, ADB devices indicates no devices attached. And fwiw, USB Debugging is enabled, Win8.1 system. Any suggestions appreciated.

Yeah that's normal. You'll have to go back into device manager and add the driver again. You'll see your G Pad listed as an unknown device. Just add the "ADB Composite" driver for that unknown device and then it should start showing up in adb devices.

I've read something similar previously. Windows device manager lets me broose, but it doesn't find the file. How do you install manually.

Well, this worked. Unfortunately after it ran the update, I got the following errors:

failed to verify whole-file signature
signature verification failed
Installation aborted.

I think I'll install TWRP and try flashing this.

Thanks a lot for your advice. Much appreciated.

The 4.4.4 update file flashed without problem via TWRP. Comment for other users, it will not flash via stock recovery. Many thanks to the OP for the help.

Does root stay after flashing or do you have to root again?

I don't know. I unrooted, planning on taking the OTA. Had to reroot, and simply flashing chainfire's SuperSu didn't work. Tried towelroot, and that didn't work either (at least at first). Finally after several reboots, I got root back. Unfortunately, I can't tell you what I did to get root back.
