[Q] Any rooting methods for G pad 10.1/8/7? - G Pad 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey, i have searched the internet and i havent found any root methods for the new line of g pad tablets. Does anyone know anyone? Im particularly interested in rooting g pad 7 but as the harware is the same in all, it would be possible to also work for all of them. Thank you.

Hi,
I have Gpad 7, and i succefully root it with towelroot

Thanks. Tomorrow i'll have one in my hands. Will try it.

Just got my hands on it. I successfully rooted it with towelroot. Easiest rooting of my life. :laugh:

Google it. Its a website worked for my s4 on 4.4.2 nc1 but I tried with the gpad and said it was not compatible with it.

Towel root worked for my gpad, s5, g3, and fire TV lol

I have the gpad 7.0 for att and towel root says it's not compatible unfortunately.

Yes its the LTE version. But after continuing to research I was able to root using the purpledrake method!!

https://towelroot.com
Worked like a champ. Quick and easy. G pad 10.1 Wifi.

G Pad 7.0 LTE AT&T. Towelroot did not work for me but PurpleDrake did.

CM11/Custom Rom V400
Do you know if theres CM or other custom rom for LG G PAD 7 (v400)?
Tks

Not yet, you would need to wait until we get development off the floor with at least a custom recovery.

Has anyone tried Purpledrake on a Verizon G Pad 10.1 LTE? Just picked one up and am eager to root it, but don't want to brick it right off the bat!

I tried Towel Root but it said my device isn't compatible. I see that Purple Drake worked for the G Pad 7 LTE but I wonder if anyone tried it on the G Pad 10.1 LTE. I'd be willing to try it if I knew that trying wouldn't possibly brick my unit (like Towel Root -- if it can't do it, it tells you or just reboots).

Unfortunately I think you are one of the first with the lte version. I can't speak for purple drake I have never used it myself.

Well, I tried Purpledrake and it told me my Verizon LG G Pad 10.1 LTE isn't running a compatible software version, so it didn't work. If anyone has any suggestions, I'm open to hearing them!

That stinks if you find anything let us know.

How much did you guys pay for it? Does it also come with 32gb? I've read somewhere that the Hong Kong version of the G Pro only has 16gb internal storage.

I flashed my F240S to E988 rom, everything seems fine, except GPS cannot fix....but it is not a deal breaker to me, at least all the Korean stuffs are gone...
I think most difference between (mobile only) are:
F240K/S 32GB ram, LTE1800 only
E988 16GB ram, LTE1800/2600
Is there a 32gb version of E988 out already?

ah! thanks so much.
as i was coming from a rooted HTC Desire HD, i have lots of data to bring over.
the manufacturers really should have made the phones rooted
HTC Sense really did a lot of amazing things and convenient too
but i really wanted to try other UI too.
this is where i am now.

I can't see where the OTA file is, so that I can flash it with LG Flash Tools. I'm also kind of worried because some people have been having problems. It's not nearly as easy as flashing a Samsung phone, for sure.
Does anyone know if ATT would let me borrow a sim to try to update it? I only have a T-Mobile sim card....:/

Update gpad 4.4.2 running on tmobile sim Verizon build
Just updated my gpad 8.3 to 4.4.2. I had switched from Verizon to T-mobile before update was running fine. Now it's no longer recognizing sim card. Updated apn to tmobile, but unable to get it to recognize tmobile sim. Any clues? ? Would advice on not updating to 4.4.2 if u r running on Verizon build but your no longer a Verizon customer
I have two of these tablets the Verizon one vk810 and the v500 and the V500 runs like butter on the 4.4.2 update besides the sd card issue i use these tablets in my truck as a radio they are custom fitted to my dash and it get really frustrating with the Verizon one

Please search the forum next time. Add of right now there is no T-Mobile root. Some devs are working on a universal for for all of the G3's and there is no ETA for it yet. There is a time l rumor about possibly getting root if and when TWRP comes out but nothing's confirmed yet.
