I've spent days trying to decipher the instructions for rooting this device. All I want to do is sideload my EPUBs for reading. The more I read, the more confusing it became. Not much detail concerning this model. I would like to have some help/instructions doing the following:
Find & get android drivers for this model onto my PC
Extract or download the img file for this model
Find a scatter file (there does not appear to be one on mine to extract)
I have d/l platform tools
sp-flash tool
TWRP
and others
It would be great if there was a step by step guide for rooting this model.
I know this is asking a lot, but you folk are the Gurus when it comes to android help. Thanks for any help for my situation.

I am moving from an iphone to a HTC Dream and I am pretty stumped on how to root my phone. It is post 911 patch. But I have a couple of questions that are probably noobish but just need clarification.
Using this guide:
Cyanogen Wiki Post 911 HTC Dream patch guide
Do I need ADK or ADB as I seem to be mixing them up and not sure.
Should the fastboot we download from there replace another fastboot already in the SDK tools folder?
I seem to be getting Batch Command not recognized when I do command prompt with it.
Any help will be greatly appreciated by this Rooting noob.
You will first need to install the USB Drivers:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html
Then make a folder and download ADB and Fastboot and extract them into that folder:
http://www.filedropper.com/adb1026
http://developer.htc.com/adp.html#s2 (just download fastboot.exe)
You should now be good to go and can just follow the the rest of that guide.
Remember that your phone is not designed to run 2.1 or 2.2 and while it will work it may be slow. See my post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8731550&postcount=3

I personally used Evostance's guide, it was very simple and easy to follow: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834427
That's the link. I do believe there are simpler methods now using Visionary. Just check the Development sub-forum and they have more tutorials there

Hey Sylpher,
I did tried to read Evostance's guide but where is the guide?
Step By Step Guide - Download link below
11/11/10 V2
http://www.multiupload.com/KK66WUNUWS
See the main thread for details on the root:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=805327 ----> i do not understand at all... all those code like listed below
Go to adb shell, switch to root (su) and do the following:
insmod /sdcard/wp-(version).ko
for example: insmod /sdcard/wp_g5ed1769.ko
This will disable wp (will be enabled on reboot though...)
dd if=/sdcard/hboot_eng.nb0 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
This will install engineering hboot
totally confused.
The link that he provides includes all the files + the tutorial (in a PDF file). So yeah just download that first and it should be quite straightforward from there on.

Thanks again.
No problems
You can try this too, a member here compile it. http://hemorrdroids.net/overclock-undervolt-your-desire-hd/
if you dont already have a file explorer then download astro from market place
download visonary r12 from here and copy apk file to sd card on the phone and install from there
http://android.modaco.com/content/h...722/10-nov-r12-test-visionary-one-click-root/
download superuser from market place and install on the phone
make sure usb debuggging is enabled on the, also unkown sources is allowed phone(settings/applications/development)
run visionary and don not check any of the 3 box on the screen
run temp root and let it finish
then attempt perm root it will ask for super user permission, allow this and the phone should root and reboot
to test it has work down load adfree from market place and see if it runs, if it does you have full root
simples

Although I wouldn't recommend anyone to rush into the act of rooting their device, do bare in mind, that the exploit we are using to obtain root will be patched sooner or later, so whilst thinking about it I would be very wary of applying any future OTA upgrades as so you may find you once more have an unrootable device
im a noob and i installed adb and in adb the serial number of the mytouch is there or watever it is. n i just dont understand the part of put the frevo file inside the frevo zip file inside the platform tools n the misc version inside the misc zip file in platform tools.wat do i do with the rest misc files that were in the zip file its too downgrade n i dont thats only part dont understand to downgrade plz reply fast i alredy want to downgrade n already saw all the other forums of it
Did you install android sdk or just adb by itself?

You know that ZIP files contain other files?
You know you can extract those files?
You know that there are different folders on disk?
You know that folders are in a tree-like structure?
You know where platform-tools folder sits under SDK folder?
You know how to move ZIP files where you need?
You know how to extract ZIP files in place?
Answer all these, and you'll know what to do.
If you don't know the answer to one or two specific questions - ask away.
If you don't know some of the answers and can't or don't want to look for them - please refrain from rooting. Rooting isn't just for fun, it gives you some powers over your phone that you need to know how to use - otherwise your phone will have a great potential to end up screwed.
Whoa alexriio!
You can find a lot of people here to help you but you will need to do 2 things first :
1- Please write complete sentence. It's so hard to read you; a lot of people will skip you post.
2- Read these tutorial :

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178912
My usual advice is :
1- Print all part of the tuto (tuto, downgrade to froyo, CM install...)
2- Read it carefully and come back here to ask questions
3- Prepare all file in distinctive folder (check all file with md5sum!)
4- Grab a coffee (or tea, or beer )
5- Attack!
Regards.

Need help downgrading mytouch
Greetings. I've got a mytouch 4g. I have followed the instructions in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178912. Excellent article. Every step works great. I have tried both the manual downgrade section and the fastboot downgrade section. Both methods appear successful. No error messages, etc... When the phone reboots it boots to a fresh 2.3.4. Im sure im skipping something simple. Any ideas greatly appreciated!

http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html Official Google link for the SDK that is also in that guide. All you really need are the ADB files.
This thread is meant to help share programs and older files that have gone missing or have dead links and to collect everything in one place. I came here a long time ago to ask a few questions, but now I would like to return the favor by organizing everything so owners of the VK810 don't have to run around looking for everything.
One of the most common files I see asked for is TWRP 2.7.0.1. I still have my old copy and have uploaded it to Android File Hosts. The link is located below at the very bottom. In that link, I also include a stock rom in case anyone wants to start over along with the tools to do so. Other TWRP versions are also included. I also include some other programs as well, but they are mostly meant to act as a backup in case other links go down. Just to clarify, they are not my own. I just want to make sure everyone gets what they need. If there is anything I forgot to give credit for, I will add it as I remember or let me know so I can properly give the credit.
I don't want to take credit for anything here. I just want to help people have an easy time with setting up their device, but I will give out credit where needed.
For people starting out, roirraW "edor" ehT has made an extensive tutorial for the VK810. His roms work with LTE if you need it.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g-pad-83/general/vk810-4g-reliable-to-root-install-t3283027
Since his Android File Host page is still working and he is still very active, I won't archive any of his work. Get everything you need from his pages.
For anyone that wants to return to stock, ttn1185 has a very simple guide on return to root along with the stock rom, but the link to the guide doesn't seem to work.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g-pad-83/general/vk810-verizon-lg-g-pad-8-3-to-stock-t2800857
To save time, I have included the guide I used and the link to the guide for returning to stock below. Credit goes to hyelton for creating it.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476
Magendanz has been making new TWRP builds for the VK810. I included one of his older builds in my archive since it helped me out a lot.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g-pad-83/general/vk810-twrp-3-1-1-0-unofficial-t3691551
One way I managed to install it was to flash my recovery to version 2.8.7.0, run the recovery, flash the image using TWRP, and then restart. There are easier methods, but I used this one since it doesn't rely on using ADB or setting it up if you don't have it already.
Drgravy originally had the important TWRP 2.7.0.1, but his link to it is dead. The instructions for it are still relevant.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2726707
For those that don't want to use ADB, you can copy the contents of the files to a folder you have easy access to, download/run a terminal emulator of your choice on the device, change directory to where the lok and flash files are, and use the cp command in place of push to copy the contents to the specified folders. Other than that, the other commands in the instructions are the same and can be followed verbatim. I believe it is easier or required to have root first to do this, so run Stump to root the device before doing this. It is also included in the link.
For people that do not need LTE, invisiblek has created a rom of Lineage 14.1 to work with the device. It is what I am currently using right now. While invisiblek gets credit for creating the rom, I give credit to thunderbolt128 for introducing it to me. He has simple instructions on how to install it and has a link to download the rom included in the post.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g-pad-83/general/vk810-invisibleks-lineage-14-1-rom-t3806903
I flashed pico gapps (ARM) when I was flashing the rom in recovery, but use whichever gapps (or none) that you are comfortable with.
Finally, here is my page with all of the files I mentioned before.
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=278786
Again, I do not take credit for anything in here other than organizing it. I do hope it helps you a lot like it did for me.
