[Q] Best rom for most standard google experience - G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I bought a gpad (v500) yesterday and I don't really like the LG bloatware and style etc...
I thought it would be possible to put on the google play edition rom but as I'm reading here that does not seem possible?
What rom would be the closest to a GPE experience or what do you think would be the best rom for somebody loving a nexus 5 stock
also, I already looked at a couple of topics about rooting etc but it seems to me they are all on windows,
does anyone have the steps for mac?
thanks in advance!

1) One of the CM11 ROMs.
2) Follow this link for root instructions. Look at third line in "How do I use it?" for Mac instructions. But before you proceed, read and re-read it until you are 100% confident that you understand every step. And be sure to follow every step explicitly. And I would also recommend reading every post, and every comment in that thread first, also. If there's something you don't understand, then post a question on that thread. If you make a mistake, you risk turning your device into an expensive brick.

Hi,

If i try running the bat file again it is stuck at looking for the device...
I'm not quite sure how to continue now.. any tips?

There are very few Mac users around here. I would suggest you try a Google search, non specific to G Pad, like "Root LG on macbook", "macbook can't see android device", and some variants like that. Also, try to PM the OP on the two threads that I posted above.

i have acces to a windows laptop so that's not a problem anymore!

You are welcome.

My problem isn't solved...
I have a windows laptop so I'm able to run the bat file, but as you can see in the screenshot above, the root process fails...
I've tried several times and I always get the same error messages...

1) Use the "Respond" button so someone who's helping you knows that a response has been posted.
2) Use the "Thanks" button anytime and every time someone has helped you.
You'll get a lot more support that way.

Well, bear in mind that the Nexus 5 stock is really just the generic Android. Personally, I have never seen the appeal for the plain jane experience, but to each his own. If you leave LG's software completely, you will lose their fantastic weather widget (the best I know of in any phone or tablet), the IR Blaster (including its miniaturized version), their video player, QVoice, QPair, and a number of others. Also, as far as I know, the correct gamma reproduction only exists in stock ROMs.

Qpair works fine with AOSP ROMs. There's a specific thread in the Mods thread regarding how to get it to work.

[Q] Rooted, Rom CM6, How do i add apps?

I followed directions on rooting my HTC Evo and now it is for sure rooted. I know because i successfully uploaded the new ROM RM6 which is great! My only problem is i have no idea how to add my old apps, contacts, or anything else back on the phone. I did do a back up and saved it on my computer before i did anything, so i know all my information is at least somewhere safe. So i guess my question is how do i get apps, my contacts, and is it possible to put the android market back on my phone? Thanks so much i appreciate all the help i can get!

Your contacts should be synced with your Google account. Once you restore your account you should get them back.
Also, I agree that there is no need to be rude. You posted in the wrong place and what's done is done, so for those of you playing thread police, I suggest if you're not going to help, then don't comment at all.

You didn't flash an image. That's why people who don't know what they're doing shouldn't use toolkits. Follow the stickies at the top of this section.

1) he told you what to do
2) since you just told him to piss off for giving you an answer, but good luck getting more help.
3) do you know what the toolkit did? I can guess what it did but have no idea what it failed.
4) flash things manually and you now where the failure point is

The failure point was, as I said, the lack of an image to flash. He basically wiped everything and flashed nothing but a radio. No image = no boot.

because you used a toolkit, which does all the work for you..
Like he said, it is much more complicated to know what happened (yes!! We don't know too!!). Was it the toolkit? Was it because you're on windows or scripts often don't supply enough info on what went wrong, if any at all? Do you even know where does system.img comes from?
Start fresh by reading how Google tells you to flash a factory image. Then read the stickies, and not the toolkit one.

OP's right. I OBVIOUSLY don't belong on XDA. I mean it took me a whole second to figure out the root of the problem. No pun intended.

Possible bricked Note 2

So i was trying to help my friend with their note 2 they got from AT&T, all we wanted to do was to update it to the latest version of android.
Steps taken:
rooted it via exynos exploit
installed mobile odin
installed clockwork mod
all was working fine untill we used mobile odin and flashed the wrong version of android to it the n7105 not the i317 version.
It booted up fine then after a reboot it is now stuck on the logo screen (see pic)
I want to recover it to complete factory settings now.
The thing is it cant get into recovery mode OR download mode.
i can get it reconised in device manager as a samsung phone but other than that, nothing working. Could someone point me in the right direction to get this fixed?
If i get it fixed tonight i will happily donate beer money!
Please help me!
Tom

Did you try hitting volume up, home and power button(all while powered off) to get into recovery. I personally use twrp, but presume it might be the same for cwm

can you get it to download mode? i havent seen a phone yet that would let you get to the "samsung screen" ..and be totally bricked.
you can try making a jig although i am not sure if it works on our phones..you will have to search ..easy to make ... $1.00 at radio shack for resistors!!

LG Lucid 3 vs876 - Potential bootloader unlock method

Hi all, I am new to XDA but have followed it for some time and successfully modified many devices. Last night, I discovered a tutorial to get fastboot enabled on the LG Volt (A Sprint phone). Feeling adventurous, I decided to follow it on the Verizon Lucid 3 (VS876) and I successfully got into fastboot and ran 'fastboot oem unlock' with a successful return message. I also ran 'fastboot oem device-info' and I have posted a picture below with the results, which are looking good!!! If this helps anyone for any potential development, that would be great because I bought this device with high hopes of getting Cyanogenmod but so far development is nonexistent. Here is the article I followed:
androidforums.com/threads/how-to-enable-fastboot-and-unlock-bootloader-no-flashing-needed-working.861226/

I could try to help however I can, for the most part you just have to follow that guide and it will unlock the bootloader. If you haven't rooted already you can root with Kingroot, available from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/one-click-root-tool-android-2-x-5-0-t3107461
You will need to do this before you can start doing any unlocking, although it is sort of pointless to unlock now because there are no ROMs made yet and I am not familiar with this type of coding, but I am going to try to learn.

Does the lg volt have any custom roms? because if the bootloader method really did work, and the lg volt and lg lucid 3 are supposed to be the same phone just differnt carriers, then shouldnt the lg volts roms work for the lg lucid 3 if there are any?

The volt does seem to have custom roms, however they are not necessarily the same phone, they are just set up the same. I noticed the guide for the volt says that you have to delete the partition for Download Mode which causes the phone to panic and go into fastboot, and it just so happens I was lucky and found out the Lucid 3 is set up the same way and I was able to unlock it this way. There would be too many complications, like verizon using a different cell modem than sprint or who knows what else. I'll keep you posted if anything happens. At the moment, it's too complicated for me to go any further without a whole lot of learning, so hope exists for Lucid 3 owners, maybe
More great news guys! The LG Volt's recovery (TWRP 2.8.1.0) boots and operates on this phone! I flashed it using fastboot and it is working with touch and I am also able to browse my files in TWRP, which leads me to believe these phones are nearly identical. I am in the process of taking photos of this in action if anyone cares to see them I will be happy to show them.
Lastly, I tried flashing a rom from the volt and got stuck at the boot logo for cyanogenmod. So close! Thankfully I made a full backup in twrp which restored perfectly but this proves the phone can be flashed successfully!
Well, I have decided to jump ship to the LG G2 for my modding needs but I hope someone finds a use for my tinkering, thanks for reading everyone!!!

Dude, thats dope nice find right there. I flashed the 2.8.1.0 twrp volt r2 recovery via flashify and it works like a charm. Thanks !
Sorry to bring up a dead thread. I can second that the bootloader unlock works and the volt 2 TWRP works as well.
Is there any known CM11 or any version of CyanogenMod for this phone? I only found a few "fake/shady" links.

Rooting The TCL 10L

Is it possible?
re:
I believe it is possible with the Magisk boot,img patch method for rooting. However, I haven't easily found any stock firmware for it, but I did just get this phone and haven't had time yet to look or to dump the firmware off the device.. I can verify the oneclick root apps like Kingoroot, king root, etc are all a fail.

hey, my friend if you do find a way to get those img files please upload them here ive been going crazy trying to find them and so far absolutely nothing but static, very disappointing i was under the impression that this phone would be customization central any help would be extremely appreciated thank you
i only bought this phone because of a google comparison search i made with XDA search result completely misguided if XDA can plz do what you can to help me with this problem i kinda feel like i got it coming considering
Looking for root too!
So am I. How can I help?
If anyone continue searching I find this https://www.thenextdroid.com/root-tcl-10l-without-pc-via-magisk/ it says the on-click apps do work, I don't try yet but if someone try and it works tell us please

Many have we've all failed
I've been wanting to root my phone for sometime but I also failed so I decided to be proactive and emailed TCL Mobile Care to get the firmware or the kernel sources but they aren't cooperating with me.
You can read more on my Reddit post about it if you want.
I've filed a Violation of GNU License today and I'll figure how to report it to Google, but I doubt a single report will do much.
Hopefully it'll take us a step closer to being able to root it.
Edit: I'm a idiot the source code is at sourceforge
Today found this,
https://romprovider.com/tcl-10l-t770-firmware-support/ maybe that helps for the oem firmware. Bought that phone 5 day ago and try to find a solution to root it to.

It's been mentioned in a post on TCL10 pro, much more active than this one and unfortutantly that flash file tool doesn't have the full firmware in it.

Unfortunately there's none at the moment. TCL is very against it and made it quite difficult to unlock the bootloader.
Since it's so difficult I've been asking daily on their twitter accounts for the past month for a way to unlock it since they just ignore everyone who contacts their mobile support asking for a way do to it.
The best I got from them so far was a "thanks for your suggestion" type of message, 2 TCL accounts blocked me but I've created more accounts to spam them.
They replied to me today but I'm skeptical that they'll do anything.

Hopefully they end up sharing the fastboot flashing unlock command, if not it's a matter of time and of hope that someone figures a way to do it

I also contacted TCL and waiting for a link to the latest firmware, they agreed after a long argument discussion to have it delivered to me at 10 days the most. Will upload the link asap. For any news please let me know, thanks
