Where's the official source? Is it the one here? https://github.com/victormlourenco/android_device_lge_v500-twrp
Firstly make sure the prebuilt kernel is the right one for the v500, not one for the v510.

It's running without problems! Thank you for maintaining it!

AFAIK they disabled on G variants because some devices aren't waking after screen timeout.
Try install 3 time, same result : enable to swype.
It's a problem with ui,
with standard ui, it's working.

hello
here is my conf.
V500 20d
towelroot
twrp 2.8.6.0 using flashify
reboot in recovery mode using flashify
I tried to flash lollipop aosp for my device ang got a loki error.
If I undertood well it is due to the fact I installed twrp from a 20d instead of 10a.
so i need to install aboot 10a using twrp then reinstall twrp using twrp then reflash lollipop aosp.
am i right ?
if yes, where can I find 10a aboot zip file so that I can flash it to my device in twrp mode ??
thanks

Root with Towelroot, it works fine.
Flashing TWRP I cannot help you because I didn't get it. Too many tutorials and none worked with me!
I believe I just used towelroot then installed flashify and installed TWRP that way. It's been a while, but I'm pretty sure that's what I did

But you didn't unlock the bootloader means you can't flash.
is the loki thing needed if I am on 4.4.2 ? exactly same question like the guy on previous page but I was rooted for few months (rooted of course)
download recovery
flash using flashify
install rom (v500) will it work? or this loki thing is really really needed? thanks.
Loki is always needed to install custom ROMs and custom recoveries. You need to have a aboot.img from 4.2.2 stock image for Loki to work.is the loki thing needed if I am on 4.4.2 ? exactly same question like the guy on previous page but I was rooted for few months (rooted of course)

Loki is built into the flashable zip files and also built into Flashify. You don't need to worry about finding it.. you just need to worry about having an aboot.img that works with it.
I see. So do i have to look for a rom with aboot.img? Thanks for your time.
You can downgrade to 4.2.2 stock rom (which has the correct version of aboot.img) or you can search the forum here for a script that will flash the correct aboot.img to your current version of firmware. After that, you can install Flashify and use that to install TWRP. Once you have TWRP installed, then you can flash away.
Downgrading to 4.2.2 means you have to root over again to install Flashify.
What would be the most straightforward/easiest way to achieve a downgrade to 4.2.2?
Sorry for the maybe obvious question, but I've had an overdose of information for this forum, and now I'm confused.
