Hello all,
Ive searched through the forums and it seems that there is only support for the gpad 7.0 or 8.3. I have successfully rooted the gpad but an OTA update attempted to come through and canceked because of root. I deleted some of the att bloatware so i would like to flash the stock rom if possible so i can update it. Any help would be much appreciated.
Has the Gpad f been lost and forgotten? Im surprised i havent received any input/suggestions.
lost
it probably has I have still yet to see a stock rom for this device, curse you AT&T
I finally received the 6.0 Marshmallow update today for my At&t GPad F 8 - v495.. Runs so smooth now, It 100% better when scrolling in the browser..
On another note my T-mobile s7 edge has had a update available for about 3 weeks now but I haven't takin it yet because It's already running on 6.0.2, I'm waiting on root an afraid it could get in the way of the work that's already been done to achieve root so I'm holding off for now..

Was your v495 rooted prior update? The newest firmware I have is the v49520c with marshmellow being v49520g
I cannot get it to work and I cannot find the stock firmware to reset it!
need help too
I am in same situation. Rooted and deleted bloatware. Can unroot but MM won't install. I think it may be all the bloatware, etc that I erased. Hard to find stock firmware. Any help is appreciated. I rooted with Kingroot.
For what it is worth, I spoke to AT&T today and they said Marsmellow has not yet been released to the v495
I'll be receiving my AT&T LG G PAD F 8.0 (V495) (5.0 Lollipop) in the next couple of days...
Before I start "Playing" is there any way for me to create a COMPLETE backup of the device so I can start fresh (and reset the root flag for the warranty) if I need to??

Best I can tell, there is no way to un-trip the root flag.
The correct way to do it would be to flash the stock firmware and start all over, but no-one can find the stock firmware. The LG PC Suite that works for a lot of the LG devices does not work as of yet on the v495. LG says the most up to date firmware is the v49510c. Marshmellow is v49520g I think.
Please someone correct me if I am wrong! I lost connectivity to my LG G3 through Qpair when I updated that to MM. I am strongly considering sending the pad to LG and have them reflash it!
Has anyone figured out how to root LG G Pad 8 v495 (6.0.0 marshmallow)?
Software: V49520g
Kernel: 3.4.0+
Build: MRA58K
I JUST got this new tablet today and it was 5.0.2 Lollipop when I 1st turned it on, and it got a forced OTA upgrade to 6.0.0 marshmallow while I was still going through the factory setup/activation process! LOL!!!

Can any of you extract the update zip please!? My tablet got stuck on att logo trying to root it
Really wish I didn't update to marshmallow, especially since it seems there's no way to flash the old version back onto it now. Two things are making me think about returning it:
caveat: I am utilizing this unlocked to use on Tmobile
1) LG disables the adaptable storage feature in marshmallow so you can't combine your sd card and internal as one "storage". You can't even move apps to sd card!!
2) For some reason, likely a bug in the firmware/software, I can't set the "mmsc" to allow my device to connect to Tmobile networks!
---------- Post added at 10:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:33 PM ----------
I do agree, Marshmallow is making this tablet quite smooth for the underpowered device it is, I'm only using it for streaming/video playing anyway as I got it on amazon for $80 unlocked.

Tot File is all i have.
LG VS495 5.0.2 Stock Firmware
This my first post and I know I'm asking a lot(and most likely impossible, but if someone has that DLL file to go with george241312's .tot file, I would so grateful!
For all those having problems with not being able to update to Marshmallow, I too was rooted when I was on 5.0.2 Lollipop an had the same problem as everyone else but I was trying to get the first small update that they pushed out an the only way I got it taken care of was to basically brick it until it wouldn't go pass the LG Boot screen then called LG and told them that my Device wouldn't Boot a past the LG Logo, Witch they walking me through a factor reset and ask me to turn it off for a hour then try it and if not call them back.. Well, needless to say that turning it off for a hour doesn't help.lol.. Anyways, They ask me to send it back to them because they put a one year warranty on all their Devices.. It was gone for 5 days and they sent the same device back to me with the small update already on it.. I will say don't brick it unless you can get a bill of sale from At&t because they do ask you send it in with the device... I did manage to get Xposed Framework install before I bricked it but it was buggy has hell, mainly because it was made for the LG Stylo.... Wish there was another way to fix this problem but AT&T hasn't released any firmware for any device since 4.3 Note 3 if I'm not mistaken.. Note: that I'm not telling you all to go and brick you device, I'm merely explaining how I got mine fixed. ..Good luck everyone..
Is this LG GPAD 8.0 F, able to root under Marshmallow?
I am thinking of ditching my Samsung Tab 7.0 A6 (2016) (model T285) due to the rooting issue (bootloader locked, no root possible, no 3rd party rom support).
I wish to get a LG G PAD 8.0 due to the knock code thingy and I already owned a LG G3 phone.
Is there a CyanogenMod firmware for this LG G PAD 8.0 F (Model V495)?
Here Help
Does anyone have the mixer_paths.xml for this device??? If so please post here so I can copy it.

Hello all, so lollipop is finally released from the atnt website
is it possible for someone to catch it and make it available for a manual update like the previous 20c - 20y update. Most people use other sim cards on the device.
Thanks

That would be great, I also use the D800 without an At&t sim card. I believe last time I used a TOT file and flashed it using LG FLash tool
yeah, but the tot file is definately not out
Yep, I just saw it today on the AT&T website and was about to come here and post the Lollipop news, but you beat me. Here's a link:
http://www.att.com/esupport/softwareUpdateArticle.jsp?sid=KB423381&cv=820
It would be super great if someone could extract the kernel from this official AT&T Lollipop. That way, T-Mobile users like me can flash the official T-Mobile Lollipop, then flash the AT&T Lollipop kernel, and lastly reboot. Hopefully, that will result in a D800 running official Lollipop with WiFi calling!

Question. Both my wife and I have LG G2s. Never rooted. I got the update to lollipop notification and updated. She didn't It doesn't even show up when she checks for updates. What gives?
Hi there, how you doing friends? I hope fine.
Well I'm new in this so I'll try not sounds like I'm dumb. Well, last week I rooted my device an Sony Xperia Z2, I was using android 5.1.1 the last version I could update via OTA, well to make the "root" I had to downgrade to kit kat 4.4.2 or something like that, but the sameway my device was rooted I keep receiving updates via OTA, and now I'm currently using Lollipop 5.0.2 and it's still rooted and I loved, my doubt is: The update via OTA appeared again to version 5.1.1 the version I had before I did all that process, if I update from 5.0.2 rooted (my actually version) to 5.1.1 my phone will be "unrooted"?
Thanks and sorry my bad English.

According to me , it shouldnt loss root access but im not 100% sure to be frank....
And in case u take the risk and it does loss root access i think so u can use kingroot to root ur phone back again.

I'm using an Stock Rom, but If I update it and lose my root access, I'll have to downgrade to Kit-Kat again, remake the root and then upgrade to 5.0.2 again, cause i can't find a rom 5.0.2 for my Device, not even here on XDA, i only found kit-kat :/
So, I rather wait till is possible to make root on 5.1.1. but thanks anyway.

i have my g3 for more than a year and it's on 10d 4.4 rooted with towelroot. i want to know what is the best way to update to the latest D85021r. my main goal is to retain root.
i was thinking using lg tool to reflash stock firmware then force OTA then root using one click from lg3 general section but if there is a quicker more effective way, please let me know.
thanks

You can only OTA with the D850 if you have an active AT&T sim in it. Otherwise there's no other way, besides just flashing a custom stock rom.

Yes i have active att sim
some follow up questions, hoping folks here can chime in with their experience/knowledge
1- is there any 5.0.1 stock ATT firmware that i can download and flash using LG tool utility?
2- if i reflash with 4.2.2 stock ATT firmware using the LG tool utility then OTA to the latest FW and rooted; am i stuck with 5.0.1?
3- can i fully unroot the phone afterward? If yes how? By reflashing 4.2.2 or some other method?
4- should i forget about flashing back to stock 4.2.2 and install TWRP then flash 5.0.1 ROM? What would be the benefits of doing this over flashing back to 4.2.2, OTA to 5.0.2 then root?
Thanks
I have a net 10 att sim in mine and it accepts att update ota but i prefer to flash through twrp

Are you also saying that every now and then you're reflashing 4.2.2 FW from 5.0.1 or whatever ROM that you're on?

I am on fulmics 2.6 its a stock based rom yes i go from 5.01 t0 4.2.2 or wichever version it is straight from flash tool then after downgrade att software starts downloading new update almost imediatly i was on the stock kk rom for d850 till about 6 months ago then cloudy 2.5 now fulmicss and u can downgrade to kk any time u like
Hi guys, i wanted to have my phone on lastest Lp stock rom. so i went got a att go phone sim. up on puting att sim my phone got ota update of 85021d and updated smoothly. about 1 hour later 85021q ota updated was pushed to my phone, again installed smoothly. Now I'm waiting for the 85021r update but it's not coming through.. it's been about 13 hours since 85021q ota update . Is there anyway I can force push 85021r ota update to my phone??....Nevermind found the way.
For AT&T, the only official way to upgrade the ROM is to use LG tool to flash unrooted KK ROM, then OTA. Or you can just flash a custom L ROM based on stock.

I see that other variants have gotten their MM updates and was wondering if anyone with the H950 has the MM update yet. I've been checking for updates but it keeps saying that the phone is up to date.
Yeah it looks like we're kind of screwed :/

I just started getting a notification on my H950(5.1.1) yesterday that I have a software update ready to install. It said its 111MB~ but I am rooted so it keeps failing to install because my phone is "Suspected in rooting..." I'm trying to figure out how to get back to stock so I can install the OTA Update.
Edit: Nevermind, reading some of the other threads it looks like it not MM but some sort of security update.
My H950 wont even find the 5.1.1 update (OTA or Suite, doesnt matter)
I have a feeling that we wont have much luck..

Are you on AT&T? I had to put a prepaid AT&T sim in my H950 and call AT&T to push the 5.1.1 update to my phone before I got it OTA. I am on Straight Talk now but it still notified me of the new security update. You might have to get that first update through AT&T.

I bought this phone on ebay, from a korean vendor. Also, I live in Portugal, so that option wouldnt work for me.
Well, I just flashed the H950PR 5.1.1, and the changes are really noticeable.

everything went smooth & error free although my phone was rooted on 5.1. i used LG UP & used the "Upgrade" option..
nothing was deleted or overwrite either.. everything remained intact.. i say go for it..
sadly.. no change in interface at all..ditto same as 5.1.1... all behind the scene upgrades apart from Wifi calling

Can you confirm that your root is still intact going from 5.1.x to 6.0?
Update: Nevermind. It seems that your reply above was in reply to someone else's similar question for which you acknowledged losing root due to the upgrade.
yup.. root lost as expected as its an official LG upgrade.
One positive is better response of fingerprint reader & slightly better Boot timings

Thanks. I look forward to one day have a rooted Android 6.0. Otherwise, I'm still on Android 5.1.x because I want root for tethering (grandfathered unlimited data). Fingerprint reader is a hit or miss. Apple iPhone 6 and 6S variants work much better detecting my fingerprints while my LG V10 feels like a cheap ass version.
Agree with u on most part..as far as tethering is concerned it is working..i used a lil trick from my 5.1 days..u can google or if u want i can post..and since i upgraded..its still working..
And i was able to disable almost all of Att crap without root in 6.0
Also agree on finger print reader..i havent seen any andriod no matter how highend come anywhere close to apple
Anyway..just shared my experience for everyone concerned..upgrading or not..thats a personal choice

If your tethering is still working with AT&T with your LG V10 on Android 6.0, that's good news to me. What is the little trick that you did with the Android 5.1 days that you can still have unlimited tethering on Android 6.0?
I got the unlimited tethering by utilizing this hack here, which requires root, using built in native hot spot: http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-lg-v10/general/enable-hotspot-att-unlimited-cutomers-t3338290/
As for disabling AT&T apps, I learned it from owning a LG G4 Verizon variant utilizing Debloater: http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-lg-v10/general/att-debloat-t3241166
The only reason I have root is for unlimited tethering. I do nothing else with root really.

That's what I have done to my V10. I even posted in that thread. So basically enable tethering when having root on Android 5.1.1 prior to updating to Android 6.0, and once upgraded to Android 6.0, the unlimited tethering would still be enabled but the hack itself is not inaccessible due to losing root for updating to Android 6.0. Am I understanding it correctly?
Edit: So I decided to go through with updating my V10 to Android 6.0 using the KDZ mentioned in this thread. Initial thoughts is that yes, finger print sensor works much faster. I also notice that the volume is a bit louder than usual. Perhaps improved responsiveness with the OS going through menus. So far, I like it. Also, the tethering works without complaining that such tethering needs to be registered. Therefore, it looks like updating to Android 6.0 doesn't modify the settings that enabled tethering undetected in Android 5.1.1. I don't mind losing root so long as I continue to have unlimited tethering.
Thanks for letting me know as I wouldn't have updated to Android 6.0 for fear of losing unlimited tethering on AT&T.

Use LG UP.
i want to update my Unlocked AT&T LG V10 to the latest update H90021W. i tried using lg bridge but it prompts me to update from the update center from the phone itself. when i try to update from the phone, it shows "Device is up to date".
my question is that if i update via flashing the firmware file, will my device be relocked by AT&T? i live outside USA and Etisalat as my carrier. i have already downloaded the .kdz file for v21w software. i worried whether the device will get relocked by AT&T. help me out guys.
also i am getting a pretty poor battery out of my V10. wondering whether the new update would give me a better battery life.
