Can't install a custom recovery on V50020d! - G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've tried every method, but nothing seems to be working for me!
Can someone post a video or a very specific step by step guide with download links and all?
I am on version 4.4.2 (V50020d) and have access to both a PC and a Mac.
I can work with either TWRP or CWM, doesn't matter. I just need a custom recovery!
Thanks to all in advance!

You can follow step 3 from [HTML=http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2698267]this[/HTML] thread. This is vor the V50020a, but you'll have to edit the runme.bat like the guy over [HTML=http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53587417&postcount=2]here[/HTML] did. That's what worked for me at least.
I was in the same boat, but after some searching, I've finally managed to flash TWRP on the V50020d. I can confirm this method is working

I didn't test them myself yet. I've only had this tablet for a few days and I'm pretty satisfied with the stock ROM at the moment ?
However, I did notice that CyanogenMod officially supports this device and that there are CM 12 nightlies on their site, so maybe you should try those.

Yup, that's what I went with! You should give it a try (Unless there are certain features that you like on stock ROM)
Lollipop runs super smooth on this thing! Seems to be just as smooth as on my OnePlus One. Now I just need to find a way to make the colors on the Gpad look less warm. The whites looks extremely yellow compared to my OPO

There are some kernels around here with the gamma fix. I've flashed one for stock ROM and that fixed the colors. There's probably one for CM 12 too.
About stock ROM, I really like this knock-on feature and the QuickRemote app. Those are some really handy features. There are also other features I like about it, but those are the most important. I'll probably flash CM12 somewhere in the future

Hey guys, I followed your guides and edited the bat. file so that it would flash and then reboot the tablet. The trouble is when I try to reboot into recovery it just gives me the error "secure booting error. cause: boot certification verify". I'm also on 4.4.2 rooted (towelroot) on 20D stock so it is really frustrating that I can't get it to work!

have not come across any roms with tablet mode but if you want a good rom with great battery life is either the one by Team PKMN or Villain Rom. but seriously though it is about how you use your phone and how you set it up and what kernel you use...not the rom specifically...i go for the normal sense roms but people have said that if you use a no-sense version rom your battery gets improved
thanks for reply
Hey,
Thanks for reply, I guess I gotta wait for tablet mode. Hehe.
See I had galaxy note before and I had tablet mode and ics stunner.
I'm gonna look at those roms you suggested and see which I like better, I reckon I may be better with a Rom without sense, I'm not really using the integration side of it anyway.

once it says ok then come out and go into recovery
make sure you do clean wipe
flash rom

This ROM seems not to be stable for the moment.
There is the PARANOIDANDROID EndeavorU (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1727657) with tablet mode also, but seems not to be stable too!
I tested the PARANOIDANDROID on my HD2 wich is really a great ROM, but nothing ready for my new HTC One X.

[Q] Photoshop Touch and my Kindle Fire 1st Ed

Hello everyone!
I'm an average avid photographer that owns a kindle fire 1st gen. Its been collecting some dust for quite sometime but now that I have been taking more and more pictures with my Galaxy made me wonder if I could add some photo editing tools that I could use quickly on the fly. So I discovered Photoshop Touch ! It seems to fit my needs quite nicely but when I sideloaded it to my kindle it just kept crashing.
Now that I know it doesnt function properly on the KF1st gen because of the OS that came in with the kindle made me want to try to root and flash a diferent rom on it to see if I can use photoshop on it.
So my goals are the following for this device:
1. Photo Editing
2. Light Reading
3. Web Surfing
4. Listening to music
What would be the most effective way to achieve this ?
What would be the best rom for this tasks in that particular order?
Is there a way I can dual boot the stock rom and the custom rom so I can use it for 2,3,4 and boot the custom one for just photo editing ?
Thanks in advance for reading my post and for any help,tips or insights on how to achieve this.
Ichigo said:
You cannot dual boot stock and a custom ROM, but you can dual boot GR9 Modaco ALT and a custom ROM. GR9 Modaco ALT is basically stock with root. Photoshop Touch will work on Jellybean.

Android 4.1.x and later & CM10 and later are all Jellybean. Your best bet is to install a normal jellybean ROM and use Gr8 alt-ROM (MoDaCo) for the alternate boot.

Did you flash the ROM zip and then gapps zip in twrp? If you did, you might try a clean install again.

Yeah I didnt notice there was an app right there on the tablet.
I didnt dual boot because I discovered that the Hellfire was good enough and I was able to achieve everything and it really flies. I regret not doing it sooner.

KitKat Rom for a newbie

Ive got an LG Gpad 8.3 V500 , to date ive not done anything with it. I posted last night about scrolling in landscape that it was lagging on one side.
I was advised to use a custom Rom
Ive never done this , can anyone suggest instructions ( in laymens terms ) on how to do this and also the most stable KitKat rom to use as i like the Nexus devices.
Thanks

hiya Eden
Is there any reason why? is there a major difference with the Roms? as i said i want as close to 4.4.2 Stock as possible
There's no big difference, it's a matter of personal taste.
Cyanogenmod is the most popular rom available, its a company now, if youd like to know

It may not show, but im quite the newbie myself. I just read a lot so I know stuff.

Recommendation, before you go flashing a custom ROM, make sure you FIRST make a Nandroid backup. You can do this after you install TWRP or Clockworkmod. The Nandroid backup will allow you to easily restore to stock in the event you run into issues or don't like the ROM you flashed. Another recommendation, take 2 backups. I am just overly cautious with this stuff and like to ensure I have a means to back out. There is a documented recovery step using the LG tool but the backup would be easier.

If you are not experiencing the issue, then there is no need to flash.
If however you take the plunge and install TWRP, you will probably need this.

I tried to be clear that this was for the tutorial, not needed for you...yet.
If you are going to flash a ROM, even via FlashFire, I believe that you will trip Knox. Same with a custom kernel. (Joe, can you ask a dev?) That said, if flashing a ROM is in your future or if you want to include this in your tutorial, then you might as well flash and use TWRP. And if you flash TWRP, you should flash the patch.
Joe, I hope to see you on the Dark Side soon...we have cookies! (And some pretty cool ROMS!)

LG Quick Remote APK for Optimus G Pro custom Lollipop 5.0.2?

Could someone please clearly explain how to install LG Quick Remote or any other stock app for that matter on a custom ROM running Lollipop.
I've browsed so many forums and people say different things and there's no coherency.
Please let us know how you did it, only if you have actually done it. Most LGQRemote.zip files don't work when flashed from recovery.

Every QRemote zip outthere for this phone is for Kitkat or Jellybean, and that's the main reason why it's not working on Lollipop. I don't know if someone got those from other QRemote supported devices which got LP update and tried, but last one I saw working properly was madmack's zip.
I could try to make a flashable LP zip as soon as my exams finish (in a 3-4 weeks) and I find fully working ROM for LP (in progress, my ISP is going nuts) I could build and maybe support, because right now, my E988 is on Kitkat since CM doesn't want to accept existing patch for modem, and available versions are too old and buggy.
Does it mean that the remote app on the F240 running stock lollipop does not work on custom lollipop ROMs?
I don't know before I try, I'll have to download a F240 LP KDZ and extract it...
