well, i hope this will pass cause I am a noob here..
As an owner of this pretty much cheap and quite alright device I had hard time finding proper root method but in the end it was found..
Mine was already on 4.2.1 and the rest is as usual 1,5ghz dual core, mali 400 graphics, and apparently cortex a7 not a9 as on the box.. but who cares, right!?
so i got to the file (its actually based on crystal_root method from xda but some smart guy somewhere just made it work for 4.2 generic tablet ) I apologize if this si mentioned somewhere else, and I couldn't reply to crystal root board cause i am a noob, but I am sure some people will find this useful, that's all.
ok...you can chat here with me untill i got those 10 posts to upload link, you can google "Aigo M80E - JB 4.2.1 - help with rooting (killing cell standby)" or you can be a good soul and my first mate here and paste link
Cheers!

Prestigio 5588c Rooting Issue
Hello to all.
I have a Prestigio 5588c and I had recently updated it to the latest firmware. I wanted to root this device, but it seems that the new update is not allowing the utoo-root-signed.zip to root it. It keeps failing. I was wondering if there is someone out there that is in the process of renewing the file so that it works on the most recent update from Prestigio.
Thank you in advance for your time and your great work regarding all things that are Android

Hello all,
I have the same PMP5588c_Duo device (4.2.1 stock Build PMP5588C.20131231.1.0.42) and managed to easily root it using Kingo root (kingoapp.com). It's a straighforward process:
download the app and install it on your PC
enable USB Debugging from the Developer options on the tablet
start the app on the PC
connect the table and PC with a microUSB cable
do not enable anything else on the tablet (like SD card access)
wait for Kingo to detect it
it will automatically download and install USB drivers to your PC and show a ROOT button
click the ROOT button, wait for 2-3 minutes, it could take up to 10min so be patient
the device will automatically reboot after the root has been applied
at which point disconnect the device
after the restart check for the SuperUser app, it will automatically install it
Have fun.

hey Z.
thank you for the guidance.. testing it now so will update shortly.. although the program thought I had a samsung note lol
ok, this is an update.. seems the program did not want to root my tablet. when I started it again, it classed it as a google device, but said connection failed due to cable instability.. guess I will have to try another way
double update... after leaving it for a few days, it seems to have wanted to work.. woohoo. thanks Z for the info
help with prestigio multipad 8.0 HD !!!
Welcome. I have a problem with this tablet.
Tablet died after a crash. There is no option to enter a Power + vol +
also does not move with the micro SD card from the system manufacturer Charges start-up screen and that's it. When connected to a PC saw it as m3-chip.
In total, I found drivers in Device Manager I did update the driver for the M3-chip and now the tablet is listed in my device manager as libusb- win 32 device. I found a program that detects such a connected tablet. The program is Amlogic Image Burning Tool v.1.6.2.2. For the time being this my progress stopped. I was trying to upload with this software firmware downloaded from the manufacturer's website dedicated for this device, but I get the message "find no upgrade" and do not know what to do. Can someone help me ??? I'm not an expert, and the above step I got reading the various forums. To my eye it looks as if they fell bootloader, but thanks to the above program to see the tablet (or rather its processor) and now combines where to download a bootloader to throw it out there and then be able to upload the system such as the sd card. Or is there some other program or a way to restore the dead to life my tablet ??? Can you help ???
1. Turn off the tablet (hold the power button and count to 12
2. Insert prepared SD card https://yadi.sk/d/_6VITNSbhKPyi
3. Press and hold the "Vol +", press "Power ON" for 2 sec.
4. Release all buttons and wait for boot TWRP (about 10 seconds)
5. In TWRP select Install -> update.zip
6. Reboot tablet

Hi everyone,
I have a Sony Tablet S with Android Version 4.0.3 release 5a and I am having problems with the Android Software, the programs such as browser, games even android base applications keep crashing. The device is still under warranty and I sent it for repair however the service here requested around 100$ for software installation as it is not under warranty. This is too much for me so I decided to do it myself however. I have searched this forum and many more to find a solution however even I have tried every step described in forums several time I could not be able to reinstall latest ROM from SD Card. I really desperately need some help here as this device is purchased solely for my daughter who loves android games alot.
I really appreciate any help you may provide.
Thanks.

hello,
try a hard reset. hold VOL up + POWER and when you see the logo sony release the VOL up button. then choose a factory reset. do not have to install from sd card.
Already tried hard and soft reset. Doesn't work.
I will try to describe the problem in full detail. I have weird error messages like "Google Play Store stopped working" "browser stopped working" "clock stopped working" and such error messages and when I try to uninstall programs i can uninstall them however when the tablet restarts they are all there, I think machine resets it self. If i try to uninstall a program called "Ustream" the tablet immediately goes off, and restarts resetting it self again. Even the soft and hard reset can not solve the problem. I have tried to boot the device, it says it is booted (I have managed to run adb and flash tools) how ever when the tablet restarts it again resets it self having the exact same situation as before. I have downloaded the official R5A update from the Sony Website when ever i try to install update from SD, the machine stops saying the operation is aborted due to some error. There must be a way to reset this machine to what ever it was.

If you have adb, you can try to root tab and apply the backdoor patch.

I have already tried that. The adb, flasher and other tools that I have found in this site. All in one tool says it has succesfully rooted the device but whenever it boots it restores itself to a previous unknown backup with all the applications installed and I guess not rooted state. I have used the flasher yet it needs rooted device. I have tried to update the system from SD, it says the software is low version (5A). I can not do anything. There must be a solution for this.

After attempting root the tablet is rebooting into the other partition. (There are two system partitions). Can you try rooting again and on the last reboot boot into recovery and try to install R5a twice in a row without restarting from the recovery menu. Hopefully this will catch the system switch and install R5a on the other system

I think I have rooted the device asthere is a "device manager" in the security options. However adb programs fails to recognize the device. I have installed the driver several times, restarted the computer how ever it did not change. Last time I was able to see the device in the adb device list. But i do not know what I have done to achieve this as I have tired many options. Can you describe me how to do that step by setp?

There is an "android device manager" option which I have enabled from security settings in my tablet. USB debugging mode is active however the S.onyTablet.S allinone v6.5 by konrad plasczykowski can not flash the tablet, it can not find the tablet. when i boot in to recover i have 3 options listed.
1. restart device
2 update sysstem from SD cARD
3 Reset to factory settings
when i choose update system from SD cart i see" Erohibit update as a result of checking versdion or base sku insallation aborted." message what does that mean?

After the update fail. Use adb pull /tmp/recovery.log and post it here and I will see what is happening
The flashing operation fails as the system can not access to the specified directory. Whenever I run the flashing tool the command windows background turns to red and I see this error. ADB can list the device yet I can not flash it.
By the way I have to reinstall all the drivers everytime I connect the tablet to PC, if I remove the cable and re mount it adb fails to list the device.
[ISSUE HAS BEEN SOLVED! - Download and use "ROOT Genius" to root this particular brand of tablet. I have personally tested it and can confirm it works on Firmware revisions: v1.0.07 and v1.0.9! Thanks to "brugos" for finding the fix and bringing it to my attention!]
Hey guys
I do hope I have posted this question in the correct forum, if not I do apologise.
As you can probably tell from the title, I am looking for a way to root my 9.7 inch Prestigio MultiPad 4 Quantum 9.7 tablet (Model: PMP5297C_QUAD).
I have been looking for a way to root this since December, and even though I have found several articles (non English) explaining how to root this device (and have been through all the relevant threads I could find regarding my device on XDA), all of the guides have been for firmware v1.0.3 - my tablet is v1.0.7. I went ahead and tried it anyway, and although CWM installed and launched fine, installing the SuperSU binary via CWM did nothing. It installs, but nothing appears in Android when I reboot, and installing SuperSU from Play Store alerts me that the SuperSU binaries are not installed.
I tried "Kingo Android ROOT" and that wouldn't even detect the device, which isn't surprising as it isn't listed on their website. However somebody on a similar thread (on XDA) suggested that the OP (who has the same tablet as myself) at least try it. I did try it, and sadly it doesn't work.
Device information:
Prestigio MultiPad 4 Quantum 9.7" Tablet
Model Number: PMP5297C_QUAD
Firmware: v1.0.7 (December 2013)
FW Build Number: PMP5297C_QUAD_20131204_V1.0.7
Android Version: 4.2.2
If there is anybody out there who has any idea what to try, then I am willing to listen. If anybody needs any other information, I am more than willing to give it
Cheers guys
Prestigio multipad 4 quantum 9.7
The same here..trying to find a way to root for the new firmware...still haven't got anything...
Yeah... doesn't seem to be a very popular brand of tablet :/ Which is a shame as its pretty damn snappy with the v1.0.7 firmware. I wanna get a resolution changer to work, but none I have tried will work without rooting. Only wanna drop the res for better gaming framerates lol
yeah agree...doesn't seem very popular... I guess we should wait some time more.... did you try rooting with the old firmware and then updating to the new firmware? I guess it wouldn't work anyway....
Nope... from past experience rooting phones updating the firmware breaks the root as v1.0.7 replaced the entire OS if I remember...
Tried the root for v1.0.3 while using v1.0.7... ClockWorkMod installed and works fine, but the SuperSU binary doesn't work/install It was a gamble incase it screwed anything up but luckily it didn't - however, it also didn't work
And yeah, looks like we will need to wait a while longer... I do hope someone out there somewhere knows what to do lol Just gotta find them or wait for them to find us lol
Hey dude...you still haven't find root? If not try with root genious... I got root now on my tablet...running the latest firmware 1.0.9
Regards!
Ah man! You are AMAZING! lol
I almost gave up trying to find a root - until now!
I had no idea that there was a new FW released a few weeks back, just updated it and downloaded "ROOT Genius" - worked first time!
Excellent work there dude, thank you so much and thank you for taking the time to share it with me, and the rest of the people out there who have been in the same situation as us who are still looking for a fix!
Now we have it! Excellent work!
You welcome!
Just curious what are you going to do to your tablet having root now?
Do you know if there is any posibility to install any rom or something like that?
Also knowing Prestigio I guess would be hard to find some updates hmmm
Hey man
Well the main reason I wanted to root first of all was to adjust the resolution of the display, it has a beautiful high resolution display as you know but some games... the FPS leave a lot to be desired. After doing some reading, some posts suggested lowering the display resolution to increase FPS - and the only way to do that was to root the device.
I did try one app, but it went a bit wrong lol. I was hoping it would readjust the resolution and resize the interface accordingly... instead it ended up changing the resolution, but the interface stayed MASSIVE. The device was inoperable and keep getting a "UI Error" constantly popping up making it unusable at all lol. Had to reflash and re-root so I am looking for another option
Beyond that, I have used custom ROMs in the past on my Android phones, but as far as I know, I believe there is only one ROM out there for our tablet and its based on CyanogenMOD I think... I may be wrong, but I thought I read something somewhere about it. Apart from that though, I am not really sure what else I will do now it is rooted Will open the door to some other apps for certain, but the OS itself seems fine and since the new firmware (v1.0.9) - it feels even faster than before!
What do you have in mind?
Yeah I noticed the issue of FPS in some games.... Well I didn't do many things yet I instaled Xposed and some modules.... and also I removed the navingation bar...is just that I dont like the way the navigation bar and status bar are together... thats why I was searching for another rom also which could have not the Ice cream sandwich bar.
I've found this: crewrktablets.arctablet.com where there are some roms with kit kat that may be work for our tablet but nothing confirmed yet...so I'm not sure if I'm gonna try it
and yeah with the new firmware is much faster thats cool.... but I'm almost sure will be forever in 4.2.2
It worked with MULTIPAD 4 QUANTUM 10.1PMP5101C-QUAD with last firmware too.

You've got some drivers here: http://storage29-free.uloz.to/Ps;Hs...7c-cwm-v6-0-3-zip?bD&c=1822785863&De&redirs=1
It's also root and cwm. But there is driver folder too. Even for windows 8. It might work.
Here are some instructions maybe you did something wrong
1. On tablet set the usb-connection-style to 'mass storage'. Settings, Memory-3 dots in the upper right corner- choose Mass storage
2. Turn off the tablet.
3. Connect the usb cable with PC and tablet.
4. HOLD DOWN the (volume +) key and turn the device on(still holding the vol.+) until you get a notice(driver not successfuly installed) on your PC.
5. Use the Manual(found in the downloaded folder) to install a proper driver. Or.: Go to Start-My Computer-Right click on it-Properties-Device Manager-Other devices-Unknown device-Update Driver- In the window browse the computer for the specific driver(that's why you need to know your systems pc)
Good luck.

Ok, i tried those drivers too but no success. I think maybe i need other OS.
I have developers options ON and USB debugging turned ON. (I think that should be turned ON)
P.S. I changed to mass storage and program did recognize the tablet but when i clciked switch (tablet turned OFF) and then it did not recognize anymore - i think problems with drivers.
Update to 1.0.9
Hello again,
I finally made it
Here is the thing:
1) Download this update (1.0.9): http://de05.dl.prestigio.com/Service_Files/TabletPC/PMP5297C_QUAD/PMP5297C_20140425_v1.0.9.zip from @yoyo97 (thanks)
2) Dont use drivers in folder /Drivers_x32 or /Drivers_x64
Instead go to /tools/Driver (and use this one x86 or x64 - depends on your OS)
3) Follow instructions in manual:
start RKBatchTool.exe and if icon is not green click Switch. Wait for tablet to shutdown and you should get green icon. (if this doesnt help turn off your tablet manualy and press AND hold volume + button for about 6-7 seconds DONT release and plug in USB cable then you should get notification on windows and green icon in RKBatchTool.exe)
4) Choose the firmware image and click upgrade.
5) let the software do the trick
6) profit
7) for rooting i used an android app called kingo root https://www.kingoapp.com/ just download the app on tablet. When you start it just click root and let the app do the trick.
After around 2-4min your tablet should be rooted.
I was using windows 7 (x86)
If you need any information please let me know and I will be glad to help
Have a nice day,
DyXen
Hi DyXen
Tried it all, but cannot get rockusb.inf to work on Windows 10 64-bit. I see two devices in my device manager after connecting the tablet, POrtable Device PMP5297C_QUAD and Android Composite ADB Interface. Have tried forcing the bundled Win8 x64 rockusb.inf on to both devices but keep getting "The folder you specified does not contain a compatible software driver for your device. If the folder contains a driver, make sure it is designed to work with Windows for x64 based systems."
I have also tried DriverAssistant v4.4 and it installed the drivers OK.
Even tried copying the IMG and ZIP files to SD card and applying via recovery. Nothing works. My tablet is still stuck on 1.0.3 and is sluggish as a snail. Some help will be greatly appreciated.

Could you solve it? Cause I have the same problem
Hi all,
I have Gionee elife s5.5 and it had english rom (android 4.2.2) with google play installed. The problem was it kept freezing a couple of times a day, so I tried to reinstall the only official rom I could find (CBT5701A01_A_T2898) with flash tool. After the installation, it got stuck in the boot loop.
I tried:
- entering the recovery mode and cleaning the cache
- entering the recovery mode and factory reset/wipe
- reinstall rom with flash tool with update option
- reinstall rom with flash tool with download option
- reinstall rom with flash tool with download and format option
- reinstall rom with flash tool v3.1344.0.212 and v5.1352.01
So far, no luck. The only answer I can think of is that this rom is not for my phone version. Anybody has any idea what can I do? Or does anybody have some other rom I could try to install?
Thanks in advance.

- reinstall rom with flash tool v3.1344.0.212 and v5.1352.01
So far, no luck. The only answer I can think of is that this rom is not for my phone version. Anybody has any idea what can I do? Or does anybody have some other rom I could try to install?
Thanks in advance.

Where did you get the phone? Try looking here, translate it using Google.

I bought it on ebay from China. Thanks for the link but no luck. I've downloaded the new rom and the romaster program (I'm guessing I should use it for the installation) but the program is not detecting that the phone is connected via usb. Same thing with vroot.
Since this rom is in another format, I was thinking maybe I could install it via adb option in recovery mode but I'm getting 'device not found' message when I try to start adb shell.

Have you installed the drivers for the phone?http://gionee.co.in/portfolio/elife-s5-5/#t4

Yes, I installed usb and phone drivers. I also installed adb driver (at least adb driver installer says it is installed as android composite adb interface) and yet when I try adb shell, deamon starts ok but I keep getting the message that the device is not found.
The rom from your link is the same one I already have, but thanks anyway.
All this is very frustrating. Seems like everywhere I go, I hit the wall:
- if the phone has sdcard I could try install rom from there, but it doesn't
- if adb connection works I could try that, but it doesn't
- if romaster detects the phone I could try install it from there, but it doesn't
- sp flash tool is working but I could find only one rom version and it's not working
You did the brushing before installing the flash've used Flashtool?
Have you looked in setting pc, peripherals, if you have something in conflict, if you do not have the yellow exclamation mark?
Also I have just bought this phone, by Liaow, who did the root and installed the Playstore. Now my phone is still stuck in Hong Kong and I do not know when it will arrive in Italy.
How did you like the phone, the battery life, becomes very hot since the minimum thickness?
I don't know what do you mean by 'brushing' so the answer is probably not?
Everything looks ok in pc's control panel, no conflicts or unrecognized devices etc. It's win7 64bit.
I was thinking about buying it via Liaow but in the end I used ebay. It took 3 weeks to arrive, and I paid for DHL express delivery (!) Isn't EU wonderful thing...
I really liked the phone (in the brief time it was working). Display is great, it's fast and the battery would last for a day without a problem. The build is very solid. I wasn't playing any games on it or use any apps that would use cpu extensively, but in normal operational time I didn't notice any significant heating. I even liked the Amigo skin. It has some nice features and was working very fast. The only problem was it kept freezing couple of times a day, usually after long times of inactivity which led me to believe it has some sort of problem with power saving functions in android (or amigo). Oh one other thing: it doesn't have notification led. I miss that.
If you don't get your phone, I know where you can get one very, very cheap. It's stuck in the boot loop, but still...
Brushing think it is to do a full wipe before doing the flash with Flashtool.
When you receive your phone, you've got an update OTA of 98 mb?
Thank you but the phone I have already paid and are waiting for his arrival.
I hope we put less than three weeks since I also took DHL.
In Italy we have a beautiful community where there are developers who work here in Xda, who are fond of Chinese mobile phones and in particular there is a person who develops rom alternatives.
So I guess I would be able to help me if I had the same problem, but I hope I do not have any problems.
You say you had blocks of hibernation in power saving mode enabled, then maybe in normal mode just fine.
I do not usually use the mode energy in any phone I've had.
I prefer to charge the battery when needed.
First I tried only update, after that I tried full wipe.
I did try to disable every power saving mode I could find, but the phone still kept freezing. Although, there are some options that are useful, like limiting cpu for more energy and lower temperature.
I didn't get OTA update, but the seller told me that they had to open the box to install english rom version with google play. Maybe they also installed this update.
got another elife threat here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2699708
Here's the quick update: after I manually edited adb_usb.ini file, adb sideload works now. But...none of the rom's I have can be installed with adb (I get 'installation failed' message after transfer).
So, what I need is:
- rom that can be installed via adb sideload
or
- rom that can be installed via flashtool with scatter file (after extensive search of the web, the only rom I could find on several places is the one made 11-03-2014 and this one is not working for me)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks but I already tried that. This only works with Romaster app and it doesn't recognize my phone being connected while on boot loop or recovery mode.
Even my phone is stuck on boot, can anyone help me
Tired of searching everywhere cant find it anywhere, can anyone please share a link from where I can download rom for my gionee elife S5.5 Indian version, my phone was working fine until I installed beats audio It asked to reboot and the then it never rebooted, stuck on gionee boot animation, I also flashed the Chinese rom but it doesn't support, phone was booting up but the rom is too lagging and unstable. I don't want to go to the service center cause my phone is rooted and warranty will be voided, I just bought it two days back. Is CWM available for this phone cause I couldn't find that too, I'd be more than grateful If anyone can help me out I just need the rom file (Indian version), thanks a million !!!!
i also tried to install beat audios on my gionee s5.5 ... and now it is not statting my phone get stucks at boot animation logo "gionee smatyphone"
Here are some good news people: needrom.com site finally released new rom version and it can be installed via adb sideload. It is CH/EN version and even when you switch it to English, some things still stay in Chinese but hey - at least it's not in boot loop anymore and now you have more options for rom installation.
Thanks dev, was so sick of this phone and its features, especially free mobile heater(owen) + worst sound ever + lots of lags, even flappy bird lags on this phone though I had optimised the cpu performance using set cpu to its max by creating a profile to play flappy bird, mediatek chipset sucks happy after entering the snapdragon world, just bought M8 yesterday and believe me this is the best phone till date though the ram is 2gb the processor is a the beast and there's no comparison to it and when it comes to the sound no one can beat htc, the looks it feels so ****n premium, the touch is like butter smooth, loving it!! Thanks

[HELP][G3][VS985]issue connecting to PC on fastboot, need to reflash TWRP & SuperSU
Hello, thank you for this great forum with helpful members, I'm having an issue with an LG G3 VS985, fastboot won't recognize it while in bootloader, I need to reflash TWRP.
First of all, thank you for reading this long testament [most important details in bold if TL;TR], wanted to be as detailed as possible, maybe it will help you help me better hehe sorry about that.
Let me give you the event sequence if it helps.
> Phone had Cloudy G3 2.5 rooted with SuperSU and TWRP 2.8.6.0 since I rooted it back in 2016.
I was having some issues with phone not recognizing micro sd card and OTG-USB after messing around with encrypting it, I was curious but didn't need it, anyways. Although I dropped the phone in water a couple weeks prior so there is a chance the issue is hardware related.
That was like 4-5 months ago.
Finally decided to do a file backup and reinstall everything yesterday apr-5-2019.
> Rebooted into TWRP and erased everything (data, cache, dalvik, system, even internal storage) because I wanted a new install on everything.
> Flashed the latest official TWRP version for my device (3.0.2.0)
> Had a lot of issues flashing crDroid, found out I downloaded the wrong build, although I had to edit updater-script on the right one to make it work.
> Flashed crDroid 5.2_20190326 with open GApps for Android 9.0 Stock
> First issue encountered, I couldn't charge the phone turned off, because the battery logo appears but but doesn't do the animation and reboots the phone, I read it might be an issue with TWRP.
> Tried to flash SuperSU 2.82 SR5 with TWRP but had a LG secure boot error and couldn't boot up android.
> RE-flashing android and open GApps fixed this issue.
> Re-attempted the process several times, even wiping everything down more than a couple times, including re-flashing android several times to no avail, I was not able to flash SuperSU successfully.
I even flashed an old tool "MR.Bump" but system kept unrooted so unsuccessful.
> Reflashed Android for the last time and start reading again (after 8 hours attempting to do it well), I read that TWRP version might be the problem to flash SuperSU, so
HERE is where I have the current issue:
> Downloaded the official TWRP version 3.1.0 and flashed it.
There is no official support for 3.1.0 for the VS985 so I'm guessing it was a generic .img, of course I messed up TWRP.
> Downloaded and installed official LGMobile Drivers 4.2.0 (latest), downloaded android drivers (15 second ADB installer 1.4.3) and Android platform tools 28.0.2 on windows.
> When conected in PTP and transfer files in win7 it recognizes all the drivers well, was able to reboot the phone into bootloader from android platform tools successfully, means there is good communication between the device and PC.
The issue is once the phone is in the bootloader and trying to flash TWRP, win7 has issues installing CDC serial drivers, in the end in device manager all drivers seems installed but win notification center says there was a problem installing LGE AndroidNet for VZW USB Modem, seems to be issues with CDC Serial or something, when trying to access the properties on the VZW USB Modem it freezes so there's an issue here.
That means when doing adb devices or fastboot devices command, doesn't find anything.
Tried the same in win10, had different driver problems but in the end everything gets installed after rebooting. Same issue, no response from phone when in bootloader.
Message is "Waiting for any device".
Maybe there is an issue with some low-level driver/kernel/firmware that is creating this issue, I would even consider to flash stock LG Android to start from scratch, if you have any guide on how to do it please provide the links!
Additional note: When connecting the phone in USB Tethering win7 gives bluescreen.
> FORTUNATELY I messed TWRP but the phone can still boot android so it's not rendered unusable (yet lol).
I must admit I wasn't super careful downloading some stuff, I did it old school (trial and error) and most of the times it works, I consider myself being a little tech savvy, but right now I'm stuck, I guess I could continue using the phone like this but if I have any issues it would be difficult to resolve and I would lose functionality without root (I could live unrooted though but I wanna resolve this) and honestly I love the G3 so why change it? haha.
BTW I found these on the net, do you recommend it? what TWRP do you recommend for the VS985?
I downloaded and wanted to install this one https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/recovery-unofficial-multirom-twrp-artx-t3657524
and found this one supposedly 3.2.1 for the vs985 here: https://basketbuild.com/devs/yshalsager/TwrpBuilder/lge/vs985
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers.
