[DEV] thread on LG G Pad 7.0/8.0/10.1

paperWastage · Aug 27, 2014

Thought I'll create a thread for developers on LG G Pad 7.0/8.0/10.1

I'll try to keep it updated as best as I can. If I forget/get to busy, PM me and tell me what to change

Help Wanted:
If you own a LG G Pad 8.0/10.1, mind doing the following things? It'll help with kernel development/porting CM11/other ROMs

Dump partition list/info : instructions
Dump /system/build.prop

Possibly need root for stuff below

Dump aboot, boot and recovery partition : need partition list first before posting instructions. probably instructions below will continue to work

Code:

dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/aboot of=/sdcard/aboot.img

dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot of=/sdcard/boot.img

dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery of=/sdcard/recovery.img

thanks for this.

@icedmayhem also provided similar files over PM, forgot to post updates here...

anyways, it looks like this device has the patched aboot source code.

loki won't work anymore (loki provides a way for us to bypass the locked bootloader to load non-stock recovery/kernels. This means there isn't an easy way to boot a custom recovery(TWRP) or custom ROM.

Can you check if you can unlock the bootloader? Don't know if LG provides a process to do this easily (for GPE / non-GPE devices)

strings aboot.img | fgrep overlap
The erase group overlaps the max requested for erase
kernel/ramdisk addresses overlap with aboot addresses.
Device tree addresses overlap with aboot addresses.
Boot image buffer address overlaps with aboot addresses.
Signature read buffer address overlaps with aboot addresses.

I wish I now how to do it, but I have no idea of how to do this

FYI I was able to successfully root the G Pad 7.0 At&t version using purpledrake. LG-V410

Here's the link to the purpledrake thread. Once you download and install on your computer make sure the gpad USB mode is on ptp mode.

No matter what, I can never stay away from android for long.

Yup worked like a champ. Turned on air plane mode, then usb debugging and then ptp. But I had to go to a term win on win7 and run bat file from there. wouldn't run with admin rights from windows explore.

for your G Pad 7.0 AT&T LTE version, mind posting the same items that Hammerhand.17 provided (for the G Pad 7.0)?

more info the better, just easier for the next developer to try to help out

It works also with a normal V400? I mean with NO at&t version.

(the site is towelroot.com, right?)

Hammerhand.17 · Sep 12, 2014 at 7:51 AM

Yes, I have root in my normal V400 with no problem.

One more question, it will work for sure on 4.4.2?

neo4uo · Sep 14, 2014 at 4:03 AM

Has anyone tried or been successful pulling a factory image file for the LG V410 which is the AT&T G Pad 7.0? I tried the other day but there was not an image on their servers at that time

Yes, 4.4.2 is the version of my tablet.

Yes! Even if you have already did the OTA incremental update ..... You will need to install a SU manager though like Super SU etc after rooting with Towel root...
