There are a lot of choices in the 7-inch Android tablet category and most of the available devices are pretty much the same in specifications and price. For the most part, it’s only the OEM factor that makes them different from one another. The LG G Pad 7.0 is a serious contender for Samsung’s Galaxy Tab 4 7.0.

I have a problem. After install TWRP and reboot, logo screen shows “error: Boot certification verify”.
Hi and thanks for the helpful tutorial. Could you please clarify a bit
the part about installing twrp cause I’m not sure about the steps and I
don’t want to mess anything up. Do I need to install the image after
rooting or only if I want to restore the backup? Thanks a lot.
Using Flashify is very easy. You just need to do as instructed on the guide.
I probably messed something up with flashify and now the validator says I am not rooted, although after using purple drake it said I was. Is there a way to undo it and do it again more carefully? Thank you.
Would this work on the v411 model?
Man i think you forget to post credits here. or where did you take the recovery images ?

Hi, I have mentioned the sources at the end of the post.
What if I don’t have ROOT/Superuser access?
You mean, after using the Rooting method /s from above?
Yes, that’s what my tablet is telling me so I can go no further.
