[VK810.4G] [altev] [ViKtory810ROM] official 36B 5.0.2 & 24A 4.4.2 - updated 8/30/2016

First, the thanks:
@AndroidFileHost for the Android File Host website and especially their changes allowing for the reorganization of already uploaded files.
@KyPbP for letting us know it's availability and giving the link to download the VK810 35A_08 KDZ.
@hsbadr for giving me permission to kang his Verizon G3 VS985 JasmineROM 7.0 update script for this use.
@rant for giving a link to the official Verizon PDF detailing this release.
@Chainfire for SuperSU!
@Hnk1 for continued support, advise and ideas, and for experimenting to find out how to root 35A_08 without downgrading. His two updated guides:

[VK810][Altev][Guides][Information] Root Recovery Repair [4.4.2][5.02]
[VK810][ROOT][Lollipop][5.02] No downgrade required​

Debloat scripts that you can flash in TWRP or CWM (ClockworkMod Recovery) after flashing the ROM and SuperSU.zip are located in the second post.

Donator's Thanks:

Thank you!!!

Just a fair warning, not trying to sound like a you know what, but no Xposed-related comments in this thread. If anyone wishes to post a new thread in General for what Xposed experiences they have under Lollipop, that would be a good idea.

Disclaimer: The usual. I am not responsible for what you do with this nor what happens when you do whatever you do with it.

Instructions to flash:

0. If you haven't previously updated TWRP to the latest version (v2.8.7.0 still as of January 3rd, 2016), do so by:

0A. Download TWRP v2.8.7.0 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g-pad-83/orig-development/recovery-twrp-2-8-7-0-t3150812
Credit and thanks @AndroidUser00110001 !

0B. (in TWRP v2.7.0.1) choosing "Install", navigating to where you downloaded the TWRP v2.8.7.0 zip (probably in internal storage in the Download folder), and choosing to flash the zip.​

1. Download my ROM from my section on Android File Host at https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=32160. I use ADM "Advanced Download Manager" from the Play Store at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dv.adm&hl=en, especially for downloading larger files like ROMs.

2. Check the MD5 Hash of the ROM zip:

2A. Copy (to the clipboard) the MD5 hash that I have in the filename of the ROM zip you downloaded in step 1 above.

2B. Install @scary alien 's "AFV File Verifier for Android" from the Play Store at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=sa.afvx&hl=en.

2C. Run the AFV app.

2D. Choose "Input checksum for comparison".

2E. Paste the MD5 hash previously copied to the clipboard in step 2A above.

2F. Choose "Select File".

2G. Navigate to where you have the ROM zip.

2H. Long-press on the ROM zip and choose "Calc MD5 Checksum".

2I. When it's done calculating the MD5 hash of the ROM zip, it'll automatically compare it to the MD5 hash you pasted in step 2E above.

If the hashes match, the downloaded ROM zip is non-corrupt. If the hashes don't match, you have to re-download the ROM zip.​

3. Optionally download one or more of my debloat zip files in the third post below. If you don't flash my "no OTA" debloat zip, then don't take any OTAs you get offered if there are ever any more, or you might get soft bricked, which I won't go into recovering from here.

4. (Not needed for 24A KitKat 4.4.2 pre-rooted ROM) Download the latest non-beta SuperSU zip from http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu (XDA thread with this link at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053) or the latest Beta version from a link in @Chainfire 's thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/2014-09-02-supersu-v2-05-t2868133.

5. Copy/move anything you want to keep from internal storage like the files you downloaded in the previous sections.

6. I strongly suggest wiping everything from TWRP (Data, Cache, System, Dalvik and Internal Storage). Wiping all of these things, especially if you use my debloat zip(s) will clear up garbage/folders that were left behind by previous bloat.

7. Flash my ROM.

8. (Not needed for 24A KitKat 4.4.2 pre-rooted ROM) Flash SuperSU.zip (downloaded in step 4 above). This step is VERY IMPORTANT on 35A Lollipop 5.0.2 and above if you want to get back into custom recovery without having to re-flash a stock ROM and go through the whole process again.

9. Optionally flash one or more of my debloat zip files. If you don't flash my "no OTA" debloat zip, then don't take any OTAs you get offered if there are ever any more, or you might get soft bricked, which I won't go into recovering from here.

Flashing the debloat zip(s) before the first boot of the ROM will give the advantage of never having the data/cache entries or internal storage folders for the debloated apps created, the latter is why I recommend a wipe of internal storage.

In order to get back into TWRP/custom recovery from rooted Lollipop 35A 5.0.2 or above ROMs (not needed for 24A KitKat 4.4.2 pre-rooted ROM):

1. Download the corresponding "aboot only" (aboot is the bootloader) found in the same place to download as my ROM zip. Corresponding means if you installed the latest 36B VK810 stock ROM, then download the 36B VK810 aboot zip file.

2. Download the 4.2.2 aboot package from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54533937&postcount=2
Credit and thanks @paperWastage !

The download link is about three quarters down in that second post.

3. Move this aboot.4.2.2.img file into the top of the internal storage (meaning, not in a folder).

4. In Terminal Emulator type (make sure no typos, or can copy/paste to be sure):

su

dd if=/sdcard/aboot.4.2.2.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/aboot

5. You can now reboot into recovery via your preferred method.

6. Once you're finished in TWRP, you need to re-flash the newer aboot zip downloaded in step 1 above. If you forget, the ROM won't boot. You should be able to long-press the power button to force the device off, then use the manual method to get back into TWRP mentioned in step 22 in the previous section above. Re-flash the newer aboot zip, then reboot from TWRP and the ROM will boot.

You can alternatively dirty flash my ROM zip instead of just the aboot. You'd have to re-flash SuperSU.zip, any debloat zips and Xposed if you had before, too.

LG G Pad 8.3 & Verizon LG G3 DEBLOAT SCRIPTS - updated 4-6-2016

These will work with both the VK810 Verizon LG G Pad 8.3 35A through 36B, and VS985 Verizon LG G3 23C up through 47A. They will NOT work on KitKat for debloating apps yet, they will work for various other non-app files I debloat. I'm working on updating them.

Again, thanks to @hsbadr for giving me permission to kang "anything I want" for this use.

Thanks to @abced123 for figuring out the root/sbin/lge_fota file is what was still allowing OTAs even after LGFOTA.apk was removed.

Thanks to @alfadon for making me aware of the two additional files that needed removed (at least on the VS985) in order to stop OTAs.

Thanks to @xdabbeb for his VS985 v2.0 ROM, with which I made a comparison to find things I could still debloat that I hadn't yet. If he didn't already figure out what we could lose without loss of functionality, this wouldn't have been possible.

INSTRUCTIONS: Backup in TWRP or read list of files deleted and make sure you don't mind, first. Debloat scripts that you can flash in TWRP after flashing the ROM and SuperSU.zip are located in my debloat script section on Android File Host.

@joshua70448 was kind enough to make an online tool to automate making custom debloat zips according to what a user selects to debloat:

I put together an online tool that lets you pick exactly which files to remove in a debloat script and builds the flashable ZIP and MD5 files for you (as well as a full list of deleted files). Check it out at LG G3 VS985 (Verizon) and G Pad 8.3 VK810 (Verizon) debloat generator.

Please thank him at his original post here and take note of his other Android tools in his signature: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66192766&postcount=238.

Note that these are most effective if flashed before booting the ROM for the first time, or after a data/cache/Dalvik/internal storage wipe since the data, etc for them are built on first boot but if you flash the debloat script(s) before booting the ROM, then it never gets a chance to create the data and cache for them.

That said, it's completely fine to flash them any time.

Which package removes what (additionally there is a "all" zip that removes all of these EXCEPT it still has OTA and doesn't remove the apps affected by Xposed - you'll need to flash the "no OTA" zip separately). I remove all except for OTA, so I'm aware when OTAs arrive if I don't see notice about it here first, and so I can capture the OTA files. ):

They are virtually identical to the separate packages listed above for which debloat script removes what, with the only two exceptions being self-explanatory.

Enjoy!

Will this be something we can flash right from TWRP ?

You're welcome! I was doing some preliminary work before CleanROM was released to release something like this for 24A but I didn't want to bother duplicating the effort once it was released. There's others who are trying quietly to give our tablet more love than I can give it.

Will this be something we can flash right from TWRP ?

Yes.

 

[roirraW "edor" ehT]

ROM's done uploading for anyone interested. I'll work on a debloat zip, but that'll take longer than a day.

Sorry for the questions and thanks a lot for making this rom happen for us. I am using the clean rom right now and the TWRP you mention above, do I just flash the rom and then Supersu and I will have rooted stock lollipop correct? Then I would need to follow the directions in your 4.22 aboot image (which I am pretty sure I already did when I installed TWRP the first time)..again thanks for your hard work..

No problem. Just flash the ROM and SuperSU, and yes you'll have rooted stock lollipop.

You don't need to follow the directions regarding the 4.2.2 aboot image unless you want to get back into TWRP. But if flash the 4.2.2 aboot.img, you won't be able to boot the ROM, only TWRP. You can do it, to make a backup, to flash something else like Xposed Alpha for Lollipop, etc (unsupported by me), then you'll have to flash the 35A_08 aboot.img zip file I also provide from TWRP so that you can boot the ROM again.

I'll try to figure out a way to make this all clearer.

 

[Anthony-m]

Thanks for the fast replies, you are so damn helpful I really appreciate it. Crap should I do a factory reset from TWRP before flashing this lol..you knew one more question was coming lol

Well thank you back! I appreciate it.

Yes wipe system, data, cache and Dalvik before flashing. Just remember to flash the SuperSU.zip after.

You need to flash the 35A_08 aboot zip file I provided in the same place as the ROM download on AFH in order to boot the ROM. The 4.2.2 aboot is only for getting into custom recovery. Once you flash the ROM, the *only* reason for re-flashing the 4.2.2 aboot is to get into custom recovery. But then you need to reflash the 35A_08 5.0.2 aboot in order to boot back into the ROM.

 

[Anthony-m]

Never mind bitches, did a factory reset and it went to TWRP and I did the update exactly like roirraW "edor" ehT instructed in his OP and I am all set with the new rooted Lollipop rom and TWRP Nice work brother....

---------- Post added at 05:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:20 PM ----------

Yup I just didn't realize I wasn't going to automatically go into TWRP after flashing the 4.2.2 aboot image, once I got in I applied the 35A_08 aboot zip and all is well...
