FYI, I think we are going to be using v500 as ro.product.device rather than awifi.

You might end up with issues once CyanogenMod is released.

Code:
ro.product.model=LG-V500
ro.product.brand=lge
ro.product.name=awifi_open_eu
ro.product.device=v500
ro.product.board=awifi
ro.product.cpu.abi=armeabi-v7a
ro.product.cpu.abi2=armeabi
ro.product.manufacturer=LGE
ro.product.locale.language=en
ro.product.locale.region=US
ro.wifi.channels=
ro.board.platform=msm8960
# ro.build.product is obsolete; use ro.product.device
ro.build.product=v500

Thx! Guys! Let's try to solicitate some good kernel developers now. With the recent newegg sales this was a great deal over flo. I'll do my best on my side, but not making any promises.

sorry for the stupid question, how to enter in recovery with the tablet switched off??
I added advanced Power menu from the xposed modules download section and it will give you the option there. If you dont have that turn your device off... hold the power and volume down (maybe up too I can't remember) until the LG logo showsthen let go of the volume buttons and press it again. If it works you will see an option to erase your phone to factory defaults... press the power buttons 2 or 3 times(I have only done this with my G2 but I heard it was the same, the G2 was modded so it would not erase but bring you into TWRP I hope it is the same for this)

It is very tricky even if you do it right it may take a few tries.

Try this, turn off the device. Hold POWER + VOLUME UP + VOLUME DOWN. The tablet will try to boot but keep holding it down it should shut off. Release the buttons and hold them down again. The second you see the LG logo again release the buttons and hold them down again. This should take you into the page I told you about.

not even this procedure works, but does it work with your tablet?

No, I would recommend installing Xposed and using the module to do it. I hope that it wont cause you issues and I assume it wont because they fixed it in the newer version of TWRP. But if you still want to do it this way try this (this was confirmed to work by another user to get into recovery, I just had to search.) Apparently it is different that the G2:

Simultaneously press and hold the power and volume down buttons.
When the LG logo shows up, release the power button only.
Now press and hold the power and volume up button while keeping your hold on the volume down button.
When the factory reset screen appears, release your hold on all buttons.
Press the power button to continue.
Press the power button again to confirm if you’re sure you wish to continue with the reset.


Sorry for all the confusion, searching seems to be the best idea lol

That is what it does for the G2, I have never tried it before so I can't say... According to the G2 forums the factory reset was removed in the newer version of TWRP but I do not know... I wondering is the OP has tried this?

Can the OP remove the reset function from TWRP like they did on the G2? If we have a software brick it may be the best way to get into recovery. Sorry to hear that, for now use one of the many apps to get into recovery

So, just to clarify, if I want to flash TWRP using flashify, I think that I will only need to use the OpenRecovery file, not the loki apk. Is that correct?
