Our beloved device LG V400 G PAD, is currently undergoing difficulties. It possibly will not be updated for ANDROID 5.0 LOLLIPOP - I contacted the manufacturer, who said we should perhaps wait for a chance to get 5.0. So I created this thread, trying to summon help to develop a device with compatible rom. I hope you can get attention. :angel:
Yes im waiting too. LG please give us Android 5 Lollipop. We waiting!
I mailed lg uk.This is what they told me:
"Thank you for taking the time to contact LG in relation to your V400. I have had a look into this for you and I can confirm that there are no plans to release Lollipop on this tablet. It may be something that we look at later on in 2015 but I cannot guarantee this.
I do apologise for the inconvenience caused but I hope that has at least clarified the situation for you."
Got this from LG USA
Thank you for your email to LG Electronics!
First of all, I would like to express my sincere apology for the inconvenience that this one is causing you and for late response on the email you sent on 03/19/2015 due to high volume of emails that we are receiving on a daily basis.
about the Android 5.0.1 Lollipop version your tablet V400 (7.0 display g-pad) is upgradable to that Android OS it’s just that your phone were originally made using 4.4 KitKat version as this software OS is made compatibly with the features and interface of the tablet to have the appropriate speed and battery life. In upgrading to the latest Android OS please be aware that it will affect the battery life and speed performance of your tablet so make sure that you anticipated this situation as early as now before considering upgrading your tablet to the one that it’s not originally made for.
Sooner or later your tablet will receive an update asking you to upgrade it to Lollipop OS once your tablet connected to WiFi or 4G. Just make sure that when performing a system update on your tablet it should be fully charged.
Google telephone number is 8558363987 in case you need to know more about Android Lollipop OS as they are the ones developed the software.
I hope this information has been helpful in addressing your concern.
Thank you for choosing LG and have a wonderful day!

Thank you so much man!
2 more questions, if I can; How did you install Lollipop, by OTA update or installing the .kdz file? And have you successfully installed any custom recovery or Xposed?
Thanks again!!
I had an update problem, fault of a compromised file or similar, so I had to hard reset and updated with LG mobile support tool.
But a friend of mine has update by OTA with no sort of problem and rooted with the one click method mentioned above

The Lenovo Yoga Android Tablets 10"(b8000) and 8"(b6000) (aka Yoga Blade) seem to be the red headed step child around here.
I feel like I dropped the ball back in December when I started to try to get CyanogenMod on the b8000 and never finished.
Working with MTK processor was intimidating and demoralizing.
Things seem to have changed a tiny bit since I dropped out. There is a new Firmware update (http://lenovo-forums.ru/topic/5045-rom-yoga-10-b8000-a422-000-072-140122-ww-wifi-ota/) and a TWRP recovery is available (http://lenovo-forums.ru/topic/4517-...oga-tablet-b6000-wi-fi-и-3g-b8000-wi-fi-и-3g/).
There is no update to the kernel source (http://mobilesupport.lenovo.com/en-us/products/yoga_tablet_10?tabname=downloads).
Anyone gotten a custom ROM, especially CM, on the Yoga Blade?
I thought it would be easier to get CM10.1 (Android 4.2.2) up and running, since that is the official stock version.
Of course I'd be ecstatic to get CM11 running.
I'd like to make another attempt at this, but I do not think that I can do it alone.

Is it worth effort?
As this is an MT8389 Soc running @1.2Ghz is it really orth theeffort to do all this CWM/TWRP recoverystuff? Since most of LENOVO phones lower mid range like my A880 is running MT6582M (quadcore), but I am a LENOVO Pc user too. It will be interesting to see development of the YOGA 10 using MT8389 maybe upgrade to CM11 but how many device sout there is currently using MT8389 anymore since MT 6589/6593 is introduced.
there is no motivataion except for die hard YOGA Pad users.
Anyone tried this or has more info?

New Lenovo Yoga 8 tablet owner reporting in.
I have recently bought a lenovo yoga tablet 10 and I am really pissed off that Lenovo took out the multiuser feature from Android.
I hope a ROM or solution will be available sooner or later.
Btw do you think Lenovo will ever offer Android updates?

As for ROM updates, they do provide updates every now and then. They even provide update to kitkat for some model. Even cheap A5500 tablet got updated to kitkat.

I am surprise to check that there is an update to Kitkat OS for my MTK CPU tablet last night, download and upgraded to 4.4.2 with half an hours.
I used CPU Z to confirm it is really Android Kitkat OS 4.4.2, sad thing is that some of my app is not working with 4.4.2 OS.
My root is gone and unable to use Framaroot to root my tablet now, still trying other tools to root.
So did anybody managed to root the tablet again after upgrading to 4.4.2?
I've got the update notification but still waiting to upgrade, wanna be sure to have root permissions again first!

Framaroot latest version 1.9.3 still fail to root for OS 4.4.2 but finally manage to did it via Chinese one click root application Vroot
http://www.mgyun.com/en/getvroot
This root tool is very easy to use.
It is different from all other root method which will install super user application on our android device but this root tool will install a Vroot application which include built in super user to manage root access.
You can uninstall your old super user app and it still working fine.

Somebody mentioned that your IMEI number is sent to Vroot when using their application, so if that's true, this wouldn't be very nice...

Here's more info about the vroot method incl step-by-step guide:
http://www.patchworkoftips.com/root-lenovo-yoga-8-android-kitkat/3727/
Personally I'm with the guy who wrote this (i.e. Chukwudi Emmanuel Udegbunam) and leave my fingers off Chinese software that gets (a) installed on my PC and (b) replaces the regular SU binaries with their own version (which apparently cannot be replaced)
Good thing is there DOES seem to exist a root exploit. Hopefully someone on XDA will be able to port it and enable regular SU.

I allowed the update hopeing Levono would have left in the multi user feature.. they deleted it.
I have been experiancing various bugs,, DO NOT ALLOW THE UPDATE!
I wish I could go back. no more root access so the multi user app will not work
biggest issue Pandora, Amazon Music; while streaming the feed will stop for a moment then the music speeds up then slows back down, this stopping happens constently I hate it.
NEED A CUSTOM ROM!!!

Upgraded & rooted
Hi,
upgraded my Yoga a few days ago and rooted with Vroot from a virtual machine (disconnected from the net and ready to restore a snapshot ). After that installed SuperSU again, removed the Chinese installations from Vroot and being happy now with a rooted KK-Yoga. :victory:
MultiUser can (according to a little search) be activated after rooting.
Found no bugs in the new rom but I am not using Pandora or Amazon Music.

I just setup the flash tool and flashed the latest 4.4.2 rom from the russian website over my rooted 4.2.2 so far its working fine.
Had one issue where it would turn the screen off.. So it would time out and the screen would go off and the power button would wake it.. But not let it sleep. And holding it wouldn't bring up the power menu. Or even force restart.. But I used the schedule power off feature to get the tablet to shut off.. After I turned it back on it works fine.
Also one note. If you are on 4.2.2 and you rooted it and you deleted system apps. And you can't get the ota update to finish in recovery.. You don't need to flash back to stock 4.2.2 you can instead flash 4.4.2 ROM from the Russian website right over top.. Only problem is it goes to setup in Chinese if you can get through it you can change the language back to english

There is many Chinese root tool which is able to root our Yoga tablet with KitKat.
My advise is to unroot your tablet before apply the KitKat 4.4.2 update from Lenovo.
Two of us report same issue of unable to root with the latest update of KitKat 4.4.2 released last week by Lenovo to fixed the bug issue of the first release of KitKat.
We had to flash back the original KitKat 4.4.2 ROM to root again.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2791072&page=3
You can even try the Kinguser APK method to root your Yoga Kitkat 4.4.2

friends, no lollipop rom 5.0 for ZTE with screen 5 "?
I need it
Not yet.
I see this link.. http://www.rom-lollipop.org/mp3-0/zte-nubia-z7-mini-6492.html
not sure if anyone has tried it yet.
It's fake! Do not install it. You can brick your phone!
apologies, yes after looking at the rest of the site I realized it seems fake.
ZTE has announced Lollipop for the Z7 Max (not sure about the mini, haven't checked). A beta rom is available in the official nubia forums.
I have been buying phones from China for the last 10 years and I have to say this is the most regularly updated phone I have ever had. My expectations from all previous phones is to ensure it is running the latest code when purchasing it because you will never see any updates for it. So it would be no surprise to me that Nubia would release 5.0 for all its models. Will definitely be buying another Nubia when its time to update.
Lollipop 5.0
Use Google translate...
http://bbs.nubia.cn/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=378407&mobile=2
No lollipop yet except for beta testing, but a new update is available for Z7 Max, ver. 1.59.

Hi, first android device in a very long time. Doesnt seem to be any conversation about this newly released device. Would any of the roms/mods/etc for the LG G Pad 8.0 also work for this device? Any help would be appreciated. I made a request for a device subforum but im a little unsure how else to go about getting the ball rolling.
I just got it too. I honestly don't even care about rooting. I just want stock Android. My Nexus has me spoiled.
On your side.. already unlocked bootloader and got the 128gb microsd from SanDisk for this beauty!

There's another thread which seems to be the main thread to discuss unlocking the bootloader, adoptable storage, and hopefully eventually custom recovery and root.

A little late, but maybe, still useful.
The situation is similar with G5 (some fastboot commands are missing). However, .tot method will do the trick.
That's when we get a .kdz file. Most likely when Nougat comes out. But if we can get the .hex and .bin to revive the phone....
I have the AT&T version seems very similar except mine has 32gb of storage not 16gb. Pretty sweet so far for getting it free.
The current software, V52110b, is vulnerable to all four of the vulnerabilities recently disclosed and nicknamed "QuadRooter." If someone reverse engineers the patch, it should show how to exploit the vulnerability for root.

Hi there,
Probably a silly question, I have a SGP312 and it is on Lollipop since 3 years, do you think is there a way to upgrade to the latest Android 8.1?
If not 8.1, what would be the highest version I can go and how?
The Tablet is essentially a stock one, I never did anything on it, just applied the Sony updates they made available for this old model.
Thank you,
Alex

Hello!
It's quite possible to install even the latest 8.1, though it is still not that stable now.
If you want 99% bug-free experience, i would stick to android 7.1.2, like Resurrection Remix ROM till 8.1 gets to a polished state.
Check this guide for installing custom ROMs on device.
Thank you for the link!
I will give it a try very soon.

Hi buddies,
I have a Sony Xperia Tablet Z (Model: SGP321) with Lollipop v5.0.2.
I had rooted it since a couple of years, so no need to say, it couldn't be upgraded to any higher version of android.
Now I unrooted it and wanna upgrade its android.
My questions:
1. What's the highest Android version officially released for this model?
2. What's the best version you advise me to install on it?
Thanks for your kind & prompt reply.
Cheers,
Leon

Hello!
1. The latest official firmware is android 5.1.1 (v.10.7.A.0.222 or 10.7.A.0.228 depending on region, though internally they are identical).
You can update via xperia-companion software.
2. What's the best only you can say. If stock sony one works good for you, stick to it.
If you have knowledge how to install, and want to try something "custom", there are firmwares based on android 7.1.2 and 8.1 on this forum.
The media players on my Xperia sgp312 keep pausing, has it got something to do with the software, I am still on Android 5.1.1

Hello,
You can Follow the LG K8 Developments Page on this forum https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-k8/development
Although there are no Custom ROMs listed on the development page, you can search the Internet for the same. The page had MIUI ROM for the devices, but the link was removed due to Thread Owner posting PPC links. :crying:
