No. When I press power and vol- at same time it appears the LG logo and stays there.

Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda premium

cmon now read a lil more carefully

I've had my tab in bootloops a few times already

power it off (hold the power button in for a few seconds it will shut down)

push both volume buttons

plug in the usb

Very tricky but done, thanks guys. It´s my first lg anyway... But feel ashamed from someone that does testpoints and other complicated things on sony devices

I finally found some time to flash your recovery. I installed minimal adb from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790 , connected my tab with usb debugging on, run a command prompt in the folder where i installed adb, i run adb (shows the adb v 1.0.31 with all commands), i run adb devices and shows LG-V500-073..... device attached, i navigate to the bin folder of loki which is located in another internal hard drive in my pc, i run adb push twrp2.6.3.1.lok /data/local/tmp and i get 'adb' is not recognised as an internal or external command,operable program or batch file. I dont want to flash with flashify but i want to use adb as i want to learn how to use it and the first method you posted is safer as it verifies the file.

1) Should i put all the files of bin folder along with the recovery image (currently in E: partition) inside the folder of adb (D: partition)?
2) In your guide you mention adb push openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-awifi.img, but the updated twrp is a lok file. So, i just replace where it says openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-awifi.img with twrp2.6.3.1.lok, right?

Sorry for being such a noob, i just want to get some things clear before i try to flash it. Thanks in advance!

Add adb to path or run adb from his folder and then cd to recovery directory

first of all what is your software version in about tablet in the settings menu? is it V50010a? thats the only version this works for
to make it easy for you you could take the loki_flash out of the bin folder and put with you adb along with the .lok
and run your commands from there and yes replace it

*edit if you have a v50010c I can patch a recovery for that one too

 

[SnowPluralism]

@Drgravy Can u put this recovery at 1280*1080 p resolution. This being a tablet I think it would look better. Or instead put it at 1080*1280 as it doesn't fit the hole screen now

Its just a small deal thing but doesn't hurt to ask : b

right now it is at 1080x1920 where our screen is 1200x1920
and there are only so many sizes to chose from with twrp

so a whole new theme needs to be created for our device and thats alot of time involved work

so probably not any time soon

Add adb to path or run adb from his folder and then cd to recovery directory

I tried to configure adb running from any directory following this guide here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1161779 but it didnt work for me.

Its a V50010a. I put the twrp.lok (renamed for my convenience) and the loki_flash inside my adb folder and thats the result:

ok try it this way

if it fails again copy and paste the output to pastebin.com and give us the link (much easier to see)

adb push loki_flash /data/local/tmp/loki_flash

adb push twrp.lok /data/local/tmp/twrp.lok

adb shell

su

cd /data/local/tmp

chmod 777 loki_flash

./loki_flash recovery /data/local/tmp/twrp.lok

exit

exit

adb reboot recovery

 

[SnowPluralism]

ok try this:

adb push loki_flash /data/local/tmp/loki_flash

adb push twrp2.6.3.1.lok /data/local/tmp/twrp2.6.3.1.lok

adb shell

su

cd /data/local/tmp

chmod 777 loki_flash

./loki_flash recovery /data/local/tmp/twrp2.6.3.1.lok

exit

exit

adb reboot recovery

Do this instead

Ok, that did the trick! (proof of flashing http://pastebin.com/heuz65TM ) I also used the key combo to enter recovery and everything seems to work fine! Thank you so much guys for your really useful help. Just one question, if you release an updated version of twrp how am i supposed to flash it? With that last method you posted here? Thank you so much again, you guys here are really helpful.

where do i get info on flashify method

 

[SnowPluralism]

Download the recovery file.
Change the file extension from .lok to .img
Download flashify from playstore
And use flash recovery option

**U must be rooted**

Is there any particular reason why Goo Manager doesn't work on the G Pad? Is it just a matter of the devs for Goo Manager updating the app?

because we have a locked bootloader and we need to use the loki patch
it is the same for the LG G2
