  1. Sorry for the late reply as your comment was caught as spam. Actually after running the batch file there are given instructions you can follow on the screen. What about the USB Drivers? Have you installed the USB Drivers? also make sure you’ve enabled USB Debugging.
    If that also does not work, then why you’re not using the Kingo Root method as stated in the Procedure#1? have tried that one?

    • Strangely there were no instructions after running the batch file.

      I later found out that using twrp-2.6.3.0 has a known bug which was patched with 2.6.3.2. So I need to install that recovery image and then I can put CM11 on 🙂

      Kingo Root worked beautifully though – that’s what I used at the start.

      I also discovered that to boot into recovery I needed to do the following commands:

      # su
      # system/bin/reboot recovery

      And that got me in there. I must work out what the LG G Pad hard key combination is though 🙂

  2. I can’t seem to get TWRP installed. When I type

    dd if=/sdcard/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-awifi.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
    (after getting root access)

    it just says: -2.6.3.0-awifi.img of=/dev/blocl/platform/msm_sdcc./by-name/recovery
    /sdcard/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-awifi.img: cannot open for read: No such file or directory

    Any thoughts? Any help would be much appreciated.

  3. I already tried to root my LG G Pad 8.3 with one click root and it works so great with me, But I also have a LG K10 K430DSY just now and I know to root this using your tools. Let me know if your tools compatible with my android.
