No, no zip. I got the AT&T OTA update back in August of 2015. I was rooted in KK with TWRP when the OTA became available. I put back the stock recovery and unrooted since the OTA Update wouldn't install otherwise. After I got it, I realized that there was no root available. Kingroot was able to gain root but there is no custom recovery available yet.

Rooting V410

This is the procedure I followed:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/g-pad-10/general/tutorial-lg-gpad-v410-5-1-to-4-4-t3232150

If you have the stock firmware and LG Flash tool you can restore back to stock firmware

Are you able to back up the rom as a zip? And if so, could you post it?

Hi! Warning: I am a newbie. I've only ever rooted one thing (Note 4) before. Before I research how to do it on this g pad, I want to make sure that what I have in my hands isn't something you need.

I bought a v410 (AT&T) gpad from a friend who has had it in a drawer for 2 years. As soon as she was done paying it off she sold it. I am not connected to At&t, I was only getting it to do some light reading and browsing and take the usage of my phone down a bit, so as to make it last. The second I plugged in the gpad, it did an update. it is 5.02 right now, kernal 3.4.0. Before I futz around with it, is backing it up as a zip something I should do to help this thread? If so, tell me how, and I would like to give back.

You need to root in order to do so. (I don't know if KingRoot works on the December update, though.)
From there, if you could make a zip of /system and back up the boot image (I need to double check partition numbers, then I'll put instructions), and post them, someone else could make them into a flashable zip (assuming no other partitions changed much).
Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

EDIT: To back up the boot image, either start up an ADB shell or a terminal emulator on the device, and run "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13 of=/sdcard/boot.img". The backup will be the file '/sdcard/boot.img'. (Both methods need root.)

EDIT2: Actually, I just realized, once you root, before doing anything else, run "cat /process/mounts", and post the result. This way, we can ensure the partition layout didn't change. I'm not sure if OTAs can do that, but if it did, it might mess things up.

I have the KK source code for the v410. Is there no way to build a KDZ from it? I am guessing there is not because someone would have though of this by now.
Man, that would be so wonderful, I soft bricked my tablet about two years ago and couldn't get it resolved until recently. But I had to use a v411, which is I think the Rogers version. I would like to have my v410 KDZ back.
