I can assure you its almost impossiable to brick it with this method. the boot.img works this way.
You flash the boot.img and reboot into android and under the boot up the boot.img checks hmm is this device able to be s-offed?? and the boot.img checks and if no it will just commit suicide and remove it self and if it works it will s-off. and the boot.img removes it self after first boot so no worries there and its s-off until you choose to unroot it and uns-off it. it works on all the hboots.
flashing kernel is supposed to get your device soffed? Very interesting. BTW aren't you the one that got banned recently?
Have you tried it on any device?
Not again !!!
STOP THIS FAKE STUFF ! DO NOT FLASH THIS ! IT WILL NOT GIVE YOU S-OFF !

So, the thread has been reopened, has anyone used it "successfully" ?
You say it can uns-off, does that work on a device that was previously s-off ed with sunshine ?
Just curious.
Cheers
Thank you bro! Who tried it?
So here is the MD5Sum of the boot.img
c12fae55b5ce4a3e9fbbea5b408cf2bb
So let me compare this MD5 sum with the Mako Twrp 2.8.0.1 img, AKA NEXUS 4 recovery image!!
c12fae55b5ce4a3e9fbbea5b408cf2bb
would you look at that!
It is the exact same image!!!!!! I have also split the image to check this.
DO NOT FLASH! It is a NEXUS 4 RECOVERY IMAGE
N.B: HTC bootloader will probably not allow it to flash, due to dt.img issues.
Are you guys really that naive to believe this is for real !
ITS FAKE !
JUST DONT FLASH THE FILE !

Below is stock firmware(.tot) for V510...
HERE for V510 stock .tot, LG Flash .dll and individual partitions
LG Flash directions etc can be found here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448960
Just apply same steps but with G Pad tot/dll instead.
Below are some conversion ideas... only try them at your own risk!!! They may result in a hard brick.
So which brave soul will try converting their current non-GPE G Pad into a GPE?
If LG hasn't added any tricks... flashing the stock V510 .tot file into the device should work. I've also included just the individual partitions for the boot chain... modem.. etc. Those might be able to be flashed to the V500 instead of running the entire tot if you only want an unlocked bootloader but nothing else. Loki would no longer be required at that point. If flashing just the bootchain.. I would flash aboot, sbl1, sbl2, sbl3 at minimum.
To flash the .tot.. LG Flash 1.8 is required. To flash the partitions... you'd use dd commands via adb shell.
example:
adb shell
dd if=/sdcard/aboot.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/aboot
I would love to see this converted to kitkat 4.4.. =D but not willing to risk it myself..
I'll risk it later, considering we've got a way out. Very exciting!

check the root LG folder in my link i posted in OP.
is 1.8 needed for G Pad? The dlls suggest only needing 1.6.
probably won't work given that secure boot is on, once it's on it can't be disabled at least on the on the snapdragon 600+, you'll probably just hard brick it

I want to extract system.img, but it's not in the OP link, I could do it myself if I knew the offsets of where it begins/ends.
Found it, thanks. It notified me that my version was out of date. What do you think? Hard brick coming or recoverable? No liability, just want your honest opinion @autoprime

That video was pretty great. Lol. But the answer is no. LG patched Loki, and even the dev who maintains Loki said he didn't think they'd be able to Loki the new aboot.

Again, that downgrades the aboot to the old JB so it can be loki'd. Says so right in the description. The OP wanted to know if there was a way of getting recovery without doing that. That's a pretty neat automated way of making it easy for everyone though. Cloudy is the man.

Hey i've read the post and what i understand is that what i wanted to do. IT says
Guide
Upgrade to KitKat using KDZ / TOT / OTA method
Root your device (using ioroot25)
Install AutoRec (grant root permission)
means i dont have to go back to JB because the app itself will do the job? correct me if im wrong?
@marshygeek Looks like you're exactly right. That app flashes the old bootloader for you that can still be loki'd

what phone doesn't have issues with rooting/custom recoveries, that just proves how hard the companies who make the device work on preventing us from doing things which are illegal/enjoying the device, if google wanted android to be hacked and modded then they would give people the sources to anyone/they wouldn't block exploits/etc
The harder it is more knowledge you will obtain.

i havent rebooted to linux yet to make a recovery so i can do it properly. but that should boot the stock kernel which ive modifed to inject su binary, youll then need to install supersu from the play store (before or after) booting the image is very important as flahsing it will render your device in operable, while just booting it is if it goes sideways then a reboot will clear it back out
thank you

How do I restore stock system so that I can accept an OTA?
Copy the system.emmc.win from your TWRP backup folder to the folder containing fastboot on your PC (or any folder, if fastboot is in your PATH). Make sure your Android SDK platform-tools are up to date!!
Reboot the device into Download mode (adb reboot download) and connect to PC.
Fastboot flash the backup file* (fastboot flash system system.emmc.win).
Fastboot flash stock recovery (fastboot flash recovery recovery_signed.img)
Reboot to system, install OTA.

Bump for this!
We really need a recovery for A700F, we already have root thanks to ShinySide, but without Recovery there's no chance for custom ROMS.
I would have developed/ported it by myself but I haven't found any guide how to do it and I don't have the sufficient knowledge.

You're wrong, as long as you have root you can install custom roms with Flashfire, in fact it does most things a custom recovery can including backups.
If I get time I'll knock up a build of twrp.
What build is this device running at the moment, is it bootloader unlocked and is it Exynos or qualcomm?
I require someone to upload their recovery.img from the stock firmware.
Note: I don't have this device so a decent tester is required who doesn't mess about.

Can you check adb works. Load ADB, Connect your device and type ADB DEVICES. See if your device is detected.
