Will we be able to convert the v500 to the gpe edition? I understand it will require an unlocked boatload and I'm not sure if the g pad is unlocked.

The other versions are region specific. There have been some minor updates to the ROM in other areas outside of the US (US being version A) that appear to not have made it to US as of yet. Once you are rooted you can apply any version ROMS as long as it states for the V500 model. V510 is the GPE edition which is different and not yet compatible.

Yes the v500 has an entirely different "structure" in the formating. SO while hardware is almost identical other than teh v500 missing the microsd slot and IR blaster, the roms are not compatible.
I have C installed on my A gpad. It just posts in german and you select english when you first install the rom and then just move on with your life.
I have a Verizon Gpad that no longer has service can i flash it to the 4.4.4 GPE?

If it is closer to the V500 than the V510 then probably not, however I am not aware of anyone who has tried to do a conversion of this sort. The first thing you would probably need is a way to unlock the bootloader. Last I knew the V810 does not have an unlocked bootloader.

doesn't matter because we have a bootloader exploit
the partitions on the GPE are different, think it needs some work to be ported over, and you probably won't get LTE access
heck, my vk810 cm11 build still doesn't have LTE access yet... haven't made any useful findings
I don't care about LTE I just want stock kitKat

did you try my cm11 build then?
I probably can build AOSP kitkat for vk810 (with the same broken LTE/GPS)... let me know
I will give it a try !!

Quite a bit of work was done early this year to try to port the V510 ROM to V500. While the result was reasonably stable, it was unuseable because the developers could not get WiFi to work. Hardware & drivers were sufficiently different between the two devices to be problematic. You can find old threads in Android Development and in the General section.
I'm not trying to tell you guys this won't work. Just letting you know about some previous work.

Would it be easier to port a v510 rom to the Verizon GPad? I just want KK. I don't care about having aosp and I don't need LTE. I'm just using Wi-Fi.

The V510 has no custom ROMs available, only the stock GPE ROM. Which is pure AOSP. So I'm not sure that I understand what you are asking

Oh. I didn't know there were no custom roms for it.
Hey guys just received my lg gpad and wondered if it's possible to convert to a Google play edition and receive otas etc? If not is cyanogen my best bet? Hopefully everything is fully functional. Thanks.

There was a lot of work done early this year to try to port the V510 ROM to the V500. Ended up not useable because WiFi was non functional.
Yes, your best bet is CM11. Stable and functional.
What about gpad 7 v400 into v410??

I want to try to convert mi v400 into v410 but have not found the link to download the KDZ so far. All the posts related to downloading firmware requiere an IMEI or CSN which I dont have D:
Dunno if someone has the link to download the kdz for v410, plz post it here or PM me...
I def need the 410kdz file so I can restore my bricked tablet! Please help!!!
I hope this is proper section to all of you who have the LG G Pad 8.3 (Wi-Fi) I have this tablet at home and it's been on 4.4.2 for longtime with root.
Software Version: 50020d
Does this mean I can flash the TWRP recovery using flashify and start using roms that have V500 in the title? I read somewhere there are few G Pad 8.3 wifi versions I think one with A letter no idea what the difference is though.
in the TWRP thread it says this:
NEEDS ROOT AND A LOKI VULNERABLE ABOOT (Stock 4.2.X roms)
I do have root used towelroot long time ago but about about the loki? I am on 4.4.2 currently.
Is this step needed even if I am on 4.4.2?
Thanks!
You probably need to downgrade your bootloader (aboot.img) to one from 4.2.2. That's what those of us with the VK810.4G variant have to do before putting TWRP on. You do that with adb.

Where can I find the 4.2.2 firmware or the aboot.img? would you mind providing link/s ?

I would but I don't even have the same variant so I'd have to search for it. The TWRP thread for my variant has the link to the needed aboot.img and instructions. I don't know if any of the TWRP threads for your variant do.
If it were me, I'd start with performing an XDA Advanced Search of the root "LG G Pad 8.3" forum for threads (not posts) with TWRP in the title, then start looking through the OP of each one and see if they have the needed files/instructions. Surely the information must be on here somewhere, and no, I'm not calling you Shirley [the movie "Airplane!" (1980) reference].
Hi, I wanted to know that is there official mm for g pad8.3?
No, not for the VK810, V500 or V510.
Please in the future post questions in the Q&A section. I'll ask a moderator to move this thread.

The answer is no. :crying:
On the other hand, the unofficial CM13 is fantastic on the v500. If your tablet is no longer in warranty, I'd take the plunge and install that. I've been running it for 2 months now and am not looking back. Its so good that I will be putting it on the Mrs's gpad also. Doze on a tablet rules.
So can anyone port it from vk810/815?
I guess the hardware is same for v500 and vk810? Is it possible to flash unofficial CM13 on vk810? I don't care about the 4g.
