Hi,
I am starting this thread hoping to find a solution to backup the working tablets so we will be able to revive them despite the kill switch being triggered.
The only solution so far seams to be by using nvflash in apx mode.
So far I have managed to boot my tablet in APX mode, but I have...
Maybe I am late by 3 years, but I got my hands on a zip file from LG called "P880 nvFlash tool(Recovery tool).zip".

Good morning XDA,
It's been quite a while since I was actually active, and here I return with a particularly nasty brick on my TF201. After successfully accessing the tablet with NVFlash and triplicating the backed-up files as recommended, I embarked on installing different KitKat ROMs. I...

Hello,

I have an original TF201 from the first 6 months of production. I haven't used it in a few years, out of frustration with the lack of updates. It is untouched, unrooted, bare OS of the latest release. Now that my warranty is expired, I think I'd like to:
Unlock it

For the last two weeks, I've tried pretty much everything I can think of to get my TPT booted again. Symptoms of its current illness include:

I found a way to install APX drivers in PC for TF700. As everbody, or almost everbody knows, these drivers are absolutely vital for the ones that want to run NVFlash to secure their TF700 in the best way against an eventual brick. As I experienced—and I know I am not the only—this adventure of...

My a700 is soft-bricked, and after searching around (fastboot isn't able to flash anything, so my partitions are likely destroyed,) it looks like I can possibly fix it with APX or nVflash mode. Here's the thing: I'm not sure how to get into those modes. I've tried holding reset and power for APX...
