Now can we get our own section??!! We have root and recovery skinny rom by @timmytim and possibly cm12 on the way. There seem to be a lot more folks getting these devices now too. Also in the 10.1 development section there are more threads for us than them.. Js

What did you use to root??
I have a us cellular v410 that i cannot root. I have tried one click, kingo, and one other. They all say that root is not available on mybdevice yet.

Purple Drake Lite from the G3 forum..

I tried Purple Drake as well.

Right after the tablet boots up after the temproot process, the command line says device found and then Error in red with a bunch of other stuff. It flashes too fast to read, cloees the cmd window and reboots my tablet.

You have to go through all the pc connections to install all the drivers... Mtp,ptp,charge. Once you get those installed make sure it is on ptp then eun purp drake lite..

Thanks for your work Shoxxy! Question for you though... after installing and creating a backup, I rebooted and tried clicking Restore just to make sure it worked and no backups are listed there. I can navigate to the backups using the TWRP file manager, but not through Restore.

@swizzel

I tried that as well. No joy. Thanks anyway. I will keep looking through the forums to see what I am missing.

 

[Swizzle82]

There is a new root method for LG devices. Read up on it and see if it works

http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/guide-root-method-lg-devices-t3049772

Try this @iowabassplayer

For purp drake did you try installing the official drivers for the Gpad from lg's website?

I noticed that too, but after noticing it, I tapped the space just below Select Backup, when using the Materialized Theme shown below, and it then showed my backup.

I'm not sure if it's possible to do something similar to display the backup when using the default theme or not.

 

[911jason]

You were right. The theme is hiding the button apparently. I had clicked all over the place (I thought) and not found it, but just tried it again and it came up. I'm going to remove the theme and check again. Thanks for your help!

EDIT: Removing the TWRP theme solved the problem.

@Swizzle

I tried the drivers from the LG site and also the non-verizon driver from the purple drake thread.

I will try the other option you suggested.

Thank you all for the assistance!

So I gather the process for the 410LTE version to root is Purple Drake Lite first then TWRP? Or is TWRP optional? oh and sorry about the newbie question but what is the function of TWRP? Thanks in advance.
I got 2 from the recent ebay deals and want to root. Possibly want to get one of the T-Mobile plans (Harbor Mobile, basic-internet.com).

TWRP is kind of optional until we get some custom ROMs, which are in the works.

However, LG has never released the firmware for the V410, so installing TWRP and storing a nandroid backup isn't a bad idea.

its AT&T not releasing the stock software that is the problem. i believe there is a kdz for the v400 but AT&T keeps their stuff hush hush like someone is going to try and steal their awesome bloat formula.

I always figured it was an AT&T thing, not a manufacturer thing. I have an AT&T phone that hasn't had the firmware released since android 4.1.1. Every revision of the firmware right up to the current ones is available for the Canadian version of the same phone.

Luckily there are some great developers on XDA that support that phone quite nicely. It is great to start to see some more dev activity on this little tablet too. Thanks for all your hard work shoxxy (I hit the the button too)!

Used purple drake lite last night to root and then flashily to flash this. Created a backup, wiped and flashed skinny rom, no issues.
