Marshmallow on VK410 (Verizon's LG G Pad 7.0)

[BobF4]

Does anyone know if there is a custom Marshmallow ROM for the LG VK410 (Verizon)? I hate that there's no Marshmallow release yet.

Could (or would) the VK410 take ROM's designed for the V410?

I've already checked for a CyanogenMod build for the VK410, but none exists.

You're rooted on a Marshmallow VK410 ?

How ?

Typing from a VK410 on ROOTED VK41010A with TWRP 3.0.2 for v410 flashed via Flashify....
From the TWRP app or a powered off state you will see the STOCK RECOVERY when trying to access twrp recovery. I pissed a little when continuing got the system to reboot and not twrp... I tried again this time choosing to wipe cache in the stock recovery, this made twrp start and then I could use twrp recovery as intended.

Downloading CM12.1 then CM13 for v410... I'll report back!

Havent used this device in a while what the hell lets see what it can handle.

TWRP made a backup to external sd and restored with no problems++

My Google Drive for downloads if you wanna look around....

Maybe I will host a clean rooted 4.4.2 VK41010a Backup somewhere... along with the stock recovery.img and boot.img for that build.

You're rooted on a Marshmallow VK410 ?

How ?

I used KingRoot to do it. However, I installed a Marshmallow ROM, or tried to. Would always boot to the stock ROM. Is the bootloader locked?

What was the version of Android when you ran Kingroot?

Had it been rooted at all before ? The device itself..

If you're the only owner of the device you'd definitely know if you unlocked the boot loader..

Typically by default they are all locked.. The only ones generally friendly about openly allowing easy unlocks or ship that way are the newish revenue stream known as "dev editions" of devices.

When I rooted it, I was on the latest version of Android provided by Verizon. As I am the original owner, it had not been rooted previously.

And, is it possible to unlock the bootloader on the VK410?

I highly doubt it.

Most devices especially Verizon usually require an exploit & the interest in this device is non existent

Did you buy this recently ?

I turned off all the ota blocks I had setup but a marshmallow update has not come yet.

Even when manually checking for updates on the device.

What's your android version number specifically ?

Did you buy this recently ?

I got it back in mid-May 2016

What's your android version number specifically ?

I am on android 5.0.2.

I have tried modding it to get CM 13 on it, but could not get it to take. I am guessing that it has a locked bootloader, but I am unsure how to unlock it.

 

[jaladhjin]

Oh damn I thought you had found a way to get to marshmallow even as rooted stock.

I guess I mistaked your wording

Yeah no marshmallow or nougat will happen unless things that aren't likely to happen do. From either mod devs or lg & vzw
