[ROM][v521] LG Stock Nougat ROMs for LG G Pad X 8.0 (2018-06-18)

Am I the only one who can't use any variation of lineage nougat because the tablet won't charge?

20mv2 working great. Clean flashed from resurrection remix without losing twrp. Thanks.

One question is does the modem come in these or do we have to flash them separately. I took a peek inside and saw a modem file but no holos.bin so I wasn't sure.

Yep, I've always included the modem in them. The modem.bin is pretty much it. v2 also includes the other partitions now, something I left out until it was pointed out to me by skywalker-live.

I presume most people will likely just flash the newest but perhaps I should update the older versions to include all partitions as well.

Whoops, thought I uploaded 20n already. Guess I never did. Link in first post...

Yeah you need to modify the update.zip from the OTA otherwise it restores stock recovery. I've considered doing the update.zips instead of the full rom, but I would have to manually grab them myself as opposed to the stock roms can just be extracted from the LG kdz files.

It doesn't look like the device likes any new magisk. Anything above 17.1 causes my tablet to boot loop.

@.fenrir: in an earlier post I mentioned that battery life with any of your zips was significantly poorer than when I was on stock marshmallow. In particular, I noticed two problems: according to accubattery the tablet never entered deep sleep and cell standby was by far the greatest drain. I never found a solution for this.

Eventually, I went back to unrooted stock via kdz and then re-rooted with dirty cow. My battery life is now extraordinary; the tablet spends a lot of time in deep sleep and cell standby is greatly decreased.

This is not to disparage your efforts but something must be different between your zips and official kdz stock.

I just rooted with dirty cow, following all the steps successfully here in post 292.

One of the steps near the end reported, "we have root.", but SuperSu was not installed. So, I downloaded SuperSu from the Play Store and it reported "root undetected," as did Root Check. What do I need to do to have root?

And while I'm at it, I have been using Lineage for my tablets, but it's no longer being updated. Is the purpose behind this stock ROM, if ROM is the connect label, to freeze the version so that it no longer updates, or something else?

Thanks
