is there a custom recovery for this tablet yet?

 

[hcgonzalezpr]

Progress!!!!!!

Wow it works with v410 ?, i stuck with the recovery now and team codefire hasn't replied my email yet, let's wait for it.

Progress!!!!!!

I managed to boot into CWM on my (LG G Pad 7.0) aka (LG v410) aka (e7lte) aka (e7lteatt). Yeap this tablet has more, than anything else.

I still have to fix the fstab making some parts are not mounting correctly ( ex: /sdcard wont mount. I have to manually mount the partition ).

Until I can fix I wont publish, I dont want people blaming me for their broken devices.

@bangprovn
You where in the right path but your recovery image is missing dtb ( Device Tree Blob ) and it has the wrong fstab values. PM me to explain in detail what I did to make it work. Booting recovery from flashboot does not requieres img to be bumped, but if boot from device it still required to be bumped.

***People im still a noob at compiling android from source code, so don't expect any custom rom from me... making recovery work is one thing, compiling android complete is another thing. ***

Good job on the recovery, looking forward to it

Good job guy. Looking forward to it and what will follow!

I submitted a basic device repo for anyone interested in compiling CWM or TWRP.

Sdcard is still mounting in /data/media insted of /data/media/0 any help is apreciated.

SD Card mounting is ok, it's not the problem. At last, i fixed external SDcard, check your PM. Time to play with CM11.

 

[LeighR]

Is there a CM11 no-experience-necessary compiler? I was looking last night and only found cm7-cm9

More progress

Thankfully LG gave good enough kernel sources that didnt require any changes to make the recovery boot a kernel built from source.

2 days ago, I made a copy at my Github.

I tried to boot a vanilla build of cm11 and it totaly went into the limbo.

Lucky enough I decided to let my recovery partition go to fastboot just in case.

But found out that if I cant boot normaly, I had no real way of getting back to recovery, the only way I found to get back to recovery was by doing the factory reset combo :

1.Power+volum down
2.After LG logo release and press Power+volum down + volum up

It takes me to recovery, but when booting CWM image detects it as factory reset so it goes into factory reset mode and dosent let me use the menu to restore.

So the final solution is to boot recovery -> fastboot and from fastboot, flash recovery image as boot.img that way, one can go into recovery without triggering the factory reset.

From there I was able to do a restore from a previous backup I made, and the tablet came back to life as if nothing had happend.

So I guess Im gonna leave my recovery partition booting into fastboot for now, while a figure a key combo to boot into recovery without triggering a factory reset.

You can't use a reboot app?

You can if you manage to boot into Android, but if does not boot in too android, then you can use the app..

Sad news, bump is dead.

I used bump to make the lg bootloader boot recovery images.

No public releases for now... sorry

 

[LeighR]

Thanks anyway

Surely we can still sideload ROMs. Or use LG flashtool or smart flash. If we can find a CM11 compiler with instructions, we could make a CM11 ROM and flash it

Download foldermount from the play store. You can't move the whole obb folder but its a decent app
