Hello if you own an LG G Pad 7.0 v400 and for some reason you didn't get an lollipop update or you coming back from a x ROM and want to flash
lollipop immediately instead of downgrading to KK and then updating it I have a KDZ for you.
*Due to locked bootloader on 5.0.2 you can only root it, flashing custom recovery will brick your device.

** If your tablet falls into bootloop after downgrading to lollipop or going back to stock (Kitkat/Lollipop) from a custom ROM, it will fall into bootloop. Don't worry, all you have to do is just to perform a factory reset.

Is there any way to use TWRP recovery on it? I've tried with no result, the same as flashing without recovery (with FlashFire).

No, you need to extract the zip file. Inside it you've got a normal kdz which you can easily flash using LG Flash Tool 2014
Thank you. I meant if there were any way to install TWRP that I unknow. Hope somebody updates TWRP to use it in Lollipop.

Actually it might be due to locked bootloader on 5.0.2, tried flash something via Flashfire but it says it cannot overwrite anything over existing data, or simply just says flashing was successful and boots LG's soft..
Maybe we could make something in the future. I'll keep trying and thinking.
Thank you for your work
Just to be clear I have some questions :
1 - Will I be able to flash KitKat KDZ over any ROM via this guide? (Can I downgrade from Lollipop?)
2 - This should help me after downgrading to root then install TWRP and then basically any ROM I need.. right?
3 - I heard about some devices (v410 specifically) when downgrading.. It makes the internal storage only 4 GB.. Do we have this issue on any of our KDZ on v400?
4 - and only two last questions that are unrelated to the topic (sorry)
Does this tablet support OTG?
And when installing CM12.1 can I have OTG (if supported) and IR working?
Thanks again for your time.. Have fun making our LG tablets better
Kindly press thanks if I helped

1 - Yes you can, when I was making this guide I was downgrading to the stock 5.0.2 (the one in the guide) from cm13 android 6.0.1. When you downgrade it to either KitKat or Lollipop (KDZ) from any ROM it will bootloop, you need to factory reset it manually and you're ready to go! It is the same for downgrading it from this 5.0.2 kdz to Kitkat. If you anyway want to downgrade it straight to KitKat just use V40010c kdz instead, it is available from a while..
2 - Unfortunately Lollipop 5.0.2 in this device has a locked bootloader what means you can't do anything, anything except root (same method as on 4.4.2 confirmed working) but that's basically all. If you want to flash the ROM as I do you have to downgrade it straight to KitKat, root it, flash recovery via app like flashify ( for some reason it does not support fastboot ) and then flash the ROM.
3 - I'm not actually sure what you mean but in this tablet (doesn't matter what ROM or firmware you're running) you'll always have 4GB of memory for your usage. partition is divided into two: 4GB of memory for you and 4GB is taken by the system. I'm pretty sure cyanogenmod needs less space but I never tried messing up with my tablets data partition. I think it is possible though but I just don't recommend it, high risk of literally breaking your tablet. I tried to extend data partition on RemixOS, I did something wrong and it never boot up. Tablet is not a memory stick, you can't just format everything.
4 - Yes, it does support OTG, confirmed working on firmware 5.0.2, CM12.1 snapshot, EuphoriaOS and CM13. Doesn't work in the recovery. And about IR blaster - Simply no, cm and other ROMs are almost stock android that doesn't even know what IR blaster is and any LG APP cannot be installed on different source code than their's.
Thank you so much for your explanation.. When I meant 4 GB.. I mean 2 or even less available for user.. The default in this device is 8 GB.. 4 GB for user.. But it seems like there's definitely no issue at all when installing ROMs and moving between them.. Thanks again..

I think you didn't my video's description properly, 5.0.2 has locked bootloader so you have to return to kitkat to flash the recovery. You can revert to kitkat by following this tutorial with the exception of using this kdz file: http://csmgdl.lgmobile.com/dn/downloader.dev?fileKey=FW975106432109876543213/V40010c_00.kdz

Thanks to qalter from Russia
Very stable and a great alternative to those who want a pre rooted GB Rom with many useful Apps.
Just one thing i forgot to mention... live wallpapers are not supported so to maximize battery.
looks good .....
does this rom has updated graphic drivers ....
can you post some benchmarks like nenamark2 and quadrant ....
No updated driver as far as i can see, feel free to benchmark yr own X6 though.
Somehow this Rom fixed my crazy screen axis reversal issue i was having on this X6 so im happy.
Im still to try tonight on my other X6 the Apanda101 stock rom and Huawei's U9000 V2.610 Rom, which was the last official Rom they made for our unit.
cheers

The Apanda 101 Stock 2.3.5 Rom installed fine, pitty the screen was unresponsive!? Hrmm.. i thought they were internally the same, maybe it has different hardware?.
Didnt get round to installing the last official Huawei Rom, will give it a go later tonight.
Anyone want the Apanda 101 Rom to try for themselves just ask, it was a ***** to source and then extract from the .msi

Some inbuilt apps like night time, uber music, I love them. Everything works fine. Even games runs very smothly
In an all its good ROM like RC2 with some optimized functionality
do you need patched boot.img ?
What is patched in boot.img? Android commander is just like a frontend for adb you just need debugging mode on in your device as afaik. Then it works with all the roms.

He says there are 2 more Dragon versions to come, the one im looking out for is Dragon-S, based on Sharp Rom.
this rom is fast! but after market has updated to play it can't be opened. FC every time. Tried rebooting the phone but that doesn't help. And gps doesn't work for me but it doesn't on the original maclite either. And even if I change language to english some apps are still in russian, like TB.

I mean.. one of my WellcoM A99 X6 had the crazy screen reverse axis issue and ??somehow?? this rom made the issue go away. No Rom's have the issue my phone has the issue. Its not the first WellcoM A99 X6 that ive had that has the issue either, I previously purchased another WellcoM A99 X6 which had the issue and i returned it to Thailand within the warranty period for a replacement. Unfortunately and more bizarrely this particular X6 acquired the issue after the warranty had expired so i had to live with it.
EVERY other Rom ive tried on this X6 eventually over a space of a week from fresh install resulted in me not being able to use the phone. Simply unlocking the phone from sleep was a nightmare it wasn't letting me drag the unlock all the way to the right, and wanted to do the opposite which is put the phone on silent.

Oh.. Sure my friend, happy to be the first man, but may not try it now.. I will just download it and use it once needed, as I have already debloated those apps...
Any chance this might be doable for the Droid Mini? I'm assuming (yeah, I know) that if done it would be flashable on a current Mini with 4.4 (locked bootloader/unrooted) since it's still considered a "stock" 4.4. ROM?
Since the Mini only has 16GB (about 11GB usable at best) every little bit helps...

How would you flash it with a locked bootloader and no root? You can't flash in stock recovery.
RSD Lite, perhaps? Honestly I didn't think about it at the time I made the post, having a "senior moment" I guess. Getting sick of flashing anything, actually.

this is intended to flash it on custom recovery with obvious rooted and unlocked bootloader, not on rsd lite.
i really wish you can flash it on a locked device.
Jaocagomez, are you using this ROM now? How much is the storage used by AndroidOS in "Settings->Storage". My phone is using 6.52GB, even its de-bloated (So I have converted many apps to system app to use the FREE debloated space). If yours is showing less usage (it must be) and you are NOT having any issues (even using as daily driver), then its one of the best stock based ROMs available here, imho.
Thanks...

The system partition is what it is. You can't adjust that. The 6.52GB is the same across all stock roms.
Dear akellar, Thanks for the info...
@ OP
Whether OTA is blocked in this ROM? I mean sir, have you removed MotorolaOTA or one such app too? As OTA will fail in this ROM right?
Thanks for this ROM, as it will save lots of time debloating, when we have to flash a stock 4.4 ROM.

Dear akellar, Thanks for the info...
@ OP
Whether OTA is blocked in this ROM? I mean sir, have you removed MotorolaOTA or one such app too? As OTA will fail in this ROM right?
Thanks for this ROM, as it will save lots of time debloating, when we have to flash a stock 4.4 ROM.

i didnt remove motorolaOTA from the apk's but i think it wouldnt work. if a new android version comes out i'll just debloat it as i already have everything setted up.
A system update will fail using this because it is debloated you will have to fxz to get the bloat back and take update
^^^^
Yes. To get OTA, we have to return to stock using rsdlite. and get ota.
Though OTA installation will fail, there is a chance to download the OTA, if we are less careful - which may lead to consumption of data. Thats why I have asked so.
May I request OP to remove MotorolaOTA apk files too in the next iteration (say for 4.4.2 or 4.4.3 in future), if its not going to be a tedious job. Hats off to you sir for your nice efforts. Sorry, if I said anything wrong or asked too much...

Sorry for the noob sounding question, but what recovery would you recommend for this almost stock rom?
I have tried CWM - 6.26.6~ which was modified by another dev -
but it would not load this rom just got stuck in a boot loop -
did work with Cyanogen so not sure what the difference was, but they do not have a stable build for my
Moto Maxx Dev edition -
Any better suggestions for the recovery?
Thanks,
I am looking forward to a debloated 4.4 rom -

Is there anyway to disable the system update notification? I obviously can't take the OTA since I'm debloated.

Hello guys, im currently working on the debloated 19.6.3 but i need two things first:
a reliable place to upload it and...
people willing to test the most recent build without fear of experiencing some bug
Intro;
Hello,
I tried the "niaboc79"'s stock 4.4.4, first of all I want to say "Thanks " to him. Thanks .
Some unlucky users like me, experienced that the noise cancelling is not working in that ROM. But the rest, everything works like charm.
Then I started to search a solution for Noise Cancelling issue, then Luckly I found one, I Guess.
I said I guess, because, For now, I tried my method on only my phone.I want to emphasise that, I'm not absolutely a developer of XDA, or something. I just somebody who has a computer knowledge, and that's all.Linux... It's not my thing..
So, I'll take NO responsibilty. Don't blame me. I just want to share that thing to you, because I took results
And please, Read the thread completely.
Installation:
What we need is ;
1-)Install a DualRecovery..Here If you already have, don't need. Thank you, @[NUT]
2-) You can create your own Pre-Rooted firmware from : here Thank you, @zxz0O0
Or just download the one that I made.
http://www.mediafire.com/download/io3c28y393x31kv/flashable.zip
Based on Official Honk-Kong ROM. 1281-5476 Nothing touched, I don't even know how to extract apps or smthng I Just converted TFT, to ZIP with PRF tool.
Everything what we need is included.(Dual Recovery, And Others.)
3-)Flash ZIP through your recovery.
4-)This step is for who is encountering problems with getting FULL ROOT.I found it thorugh completetly by coincident. At First, I coudln'T install XPOSED, It was saying something like that "It couldn't mount /system Because is not writable" . But root checker was saying that I was Root ? WTF ?
Now, we need "Easy Root Tool" Download it thorugh here Please Don't Ask me How it's gonna work .It's for old version, I know. and it's lame, I don't know why I thought that It'll work, but It fixes our root problem.
Connect your phone to the your PC, Make sure that USB Debugging is ON and ADB drivers are installed
5-)Click "Install.bat", Wait for the that screen;
Code:
.....
libzxploit.so created

You will have Full Root!
My best advice, If my flashed.zip is not working on your phone, You should create your own Firmware from your own Software CID! Right now; I'm in Turkey, Using Honk-Kong based firmware, No issues so far.Noise Cancelling working, Fully rooted...
As I said before, I'M NOT DEVELOPER. I CAN'T GURANTEE THAT IT'LL WORK ON YOUR PHONE.
I'd appreciate feedbacks!
Cheers!
thanx very much
I'll back to you later after trying it because my connection speed is only 1MB
what recovery I should use ? twrp or cwm or philz??
and what exactly to wipe?.. (I wrongly wiped many things in twrp in my note3 so I lost everthing the firmware, recovery and root )

Take your time.
-I Used TWRP
-I didn't wiped absolutely nothing from the begining. I flashed my rom directly into the older Niaboc's one. My appllications works without problems.
-Yes, That method works too, But I wanted to have full root just in case because my some other apps need that.
-And yes, you've got it correct. R-W permission fixed at Step 4.

Has anyone dirty flashed yet, and has NC fully operating? I won't be able to download until I get home from work, but wanna know.
Currently, I'm on rooted stock ROM, from my provider. I dirty flashed the Russian one and it was all stable, so I'm guessing it's the same here?

It worked bu t i had to full wipe, can i restore data from existenz 3.1.5?
Pretty pleased that it works for others. Downloading it right now, so will be a little bit before I get to flash it - 1GB file and MediaFire do take a little bit longer, even with fast internet.
@shockss If I understand correctly, including the patched Dual recovery from @nortis thread here should remove the need to use easyroot to mount system r/w.
Also bear in mind if you have a less than stellar spec pc completing the task with PRFCreator will take considerably longer than 7 minutes (took me 30, but hey).
I'll let you all know how I get on after flashing my zip.

This is what I'm dealing with for baseline.... Usually there are some more notifications to deal with. I hate the am/pm, NFC, vibrate, and I only want the % battery... What could I do to achieve this? Thanks in advance, I don't know how involved your answer will be but if it includes programming knowledge you don't need to waste your time, it'll go right over my head.

That was my first thought but when installing xposed I ran into force closes that halted the start up. I read that by freezing the smart cover and weather apps this would fix that. Is that still the case for this version of stock LP?
Also you recommended the G3 tweak box, can I assume that wasn't a mistype of G2? I have used it in thee past while on G3 Roms but didn't know it could possibly work on the G2.

Thanks a lot! I would have never thought to use the g3 tweaksbox, and gravity box is a little wonky on lg stock Roms.
How did you guys install the framework? I tried and got this (see screenie).
I flashed the xposed zip file first and then installed the app as was instructed....but the framework won't install..... Lg g2 arm-v7a is compatable correct?
This is my first dive into a stock lollipop ROM, so please forgive me if I missed anything.
Edit...ok, I had both apps on my phone....I installed the Right one now....but it's saying. I can only install by flashing....what does that mean ?
Edit #2: I guess my screenshot below shows that it is in fact working? I installed G3Tweaksbox beta but a warning pops up whenever I open it stating framework is not installed?
Love this ROM BTW.

How can i install this mod?
Hey guys.
G2 is my new phone from now on. I'd like to install this mod by Micro.
I'm on 24A, Vzw Software Assistant can't detect my phone, so i can't upgrade to 27A
Could someone be very patient and tell me step by step how can i install this mod?
Should i:
1. root using Stump root,
2. Autorec,
3. flash TWRP from blastagator
4. flash 27a bootstack
5. flash Micro's mod.
Is that correct order?
Thank you!

Are you stock? If you are, that's correct order. If not stock and already have twrp, just flash my 27a bootstack and full wipe and flash rom. I would also download 24a bootstack and put in internal memory and do a backup first just in case you want to restore back to 24a.

Edit: Just reflashed XDABBEB's mod, and all is well. (https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934540692)
Are there any kernel tweaks to this rom? Im on xdabbeb's 39a and overall it's stout, battery life is decent but it definitely needs some de-stockifocation of the stock kernel.
Looking at the features list, I'm not seeing a big depature from the ota . what am I missing?
Anyone having issues with Titanium Backup? I can't get it to create a backup directory nor can I do it manually. Known issue? Thanks

★ What do you mean by "Safe Upgrade"?
The latest N910VVRU2BPA1 bootloader is incremented; i.e., if you take the OTA or flash the official firmware via Odin, you won't be able to downgrade to rootable KitKat 4.4.4.
For Retail Edition: This is very important if you want to gain ROOT access when available & keep it over OTAs then.
For Developer Edition: If the bootloader is incremented with any coming OTA, it'll block your unlocked bootloader for good & you'll end up with a Retail Edition.

Thank you very very much.
I'm not exactly certain how this all works so please bear with me. Does it matter which version of firmware is installed before I do the update?
My Verizon Note 4 is currently on the safe upgrade to BOG5. So, can I simply flash this new firmware to directly upgrade to BPA1, or do I need to downgrade my firmware to some other version first?
Thanks again.

Fantastic work, and I thank you very much. With that said:
I'm really curious how a safe upgrade works. I was under the impression that any tampering of the official file (without root/an unlocked bootloader) would cause it to fail/trip the unofficial firmware message, which is why you can't simply put root into the file and flash it. How did you find a way around this?

Thank you very very much.
I'm not exactly certain how this all works so please bear with me. Does it matter which version of firmware is installed before I do the update?
My Verizon Note 4 is currently on the safe upgrade to BOG5. So, can I simply flash this new firmware to directly upgrade to BPA1, or do I need to downgrade my firmware to some other version first?
Thanks again.

Just follow the instructions from any previous Safe Upgrade or KK!

Fantastic work, and I thank you very much. With that said:
I'm really curious how a safe upgrade works. I was under the impression that any tampering of the official file (without root/an unlocked bootloader) would cause it to fail/trip the unofficial firmware message, which is why you can't simply put root into the file and flash it. How did you find a way around this?

Safe Upgrade includes official IMGs signed by Samsung, but it's diffrent from their official Full Firmware that increments the bootloader and prevents downgradeability to previous differently-incremented versions. Rooted IMGs fail in signature verification.
Just flashed it for my retail Note 4. Worked flawlessly. Thanks again!
Can this be dirty flashed, or should my phone be wiped? Coming from KK.

I dirty flashed from the first 5.0.1 update. No problems yet, but it's always recommended to wipe. Coming from Kitkat might be a little different, too.
In other news, 5.1.1 is noticeably smoother. Big difference.
I'm on the retail Note 4, still on 4.4.4 ANI1. Do I put the N910VVRU1BOAF_Bootloaders.tar.md5 file in BL section in Odin?
Been patiently waiting for this. Thanks for all your hard work hsbadr!

No put it in the AP/PDA
can i rollback ( twrp ) to BOG5??
not so fantastic - I am in bootloops. I was on BOG5 Jazmine ROM 3.1, upgraded to BAP1, and bootloops. Trying to recover T2 / A2 still, but we shall see - stand by...
I have Dev Edition and got a |tz|Fused 2 > Binary 1. Tried flashing the BOG5 version back but same thing. Does anyone know how to get the phone back to operational and not lock the bootloader?

This is for the original DEs with KK or OAF bootloader. It won't work if you have incremented partitions (e.g., sent your DE to Samsung for repair and they updated the bootloader). So, you already won't be able to roll back to KK.
I'll create a sepecial version for you. What's your current bootloader version?
Yay, thank you so much hsbadr! I've been waiting patiently for this!

This means you've incremented bootloader, but I'm asking about the bootloader version. Anyway, I remember that Samsung upgraded your bootloader to N910VVRU2BOG5. Check your PM!

Thank you! Is there a way to look without being able to boot into the bootloader? I have sent the phone back to Sammy to have it fixed once. When I got it back (around 10/20/2015) I followed radionerd's instruction here to hopefully prevent sending it back again. Maybe there's something in the backup I took that will tell me? Also, I'm not quite sure how to use the backup either.
Thanks @hsbadr the firmware is running flawlessly
