Root ROOT for LG G-PAD 7.0

Just received the LG G-PAD 7.0 LTE today.If you're familiar w/the G series of devices from LG,that's pretty much what you're getting,less a phone dialer.
Anyhoo,not much in the world of development for this device,not even a dedicated forum @ XDA.
However,a GOOGLE Search for Root for this device did turn up a post from a member @ XDA who used the PURPLE DRAKE (LITE) method which is/was used successfully on the LG G3.
Soooooo,long story short,it works.
If you want to root your LG G-PAD 7.0,go to YOU TUBE,search LG G3 Root with PURPLE DRAKE & select The UNLOCKR's how-to video.
All necessary links are provided & if you've already used LG's PC SUITE w/this device,then one step has been taken care of already (driver installation).
As far as a custom recovery,I suppose any available for the LG G3 may work,but,proceed at your own risk & w/o any ROMS available (AFAIK),no real need for such.
I'm good w/root only ATM,gonna check the XPOSED framework/modules for compatibility.

As there's not much activity in this forum,I thought it'd be best to post here,instead of the All Things Root section.
If interest/post count dictates,I'll request the discussion(s) be moved to the All Things Root section.

I'm not quite understanding who your displeasure is aimed at.
1) This is not the most popular of devices,ergo,that translates to a proportionate amount of attention/support that it gets from the aftermarket community,or,the Android community in general.

2) The tablet is rootable,so,you can do quite a bit of fine-tuning on your own via apps & presumably XPOSED modules.
 
This lg g7-v400 was rootable with KitKat but there isn't a rootable with lollipop
I upgrade my really wonderful tablet to lollipop but which app can you root it

If I'm understanding you correctly,you lost root when you upgraded to Android Lollipop 5.0
That happens w/a lot of devices,nothing unique here,especially when the upgrade is a substantial one such as the one from KIT-KAT to Lollipop.

Perhaps you could look around & find a way to downgrade back to KIT-KAT,re-root & wait for root for Lollipop.
 
I know how downgrade and root again but I want a rooted lollipop and if not I have still my lollipop rooted HTC m7. This lg is good but not well-known as Samsung.Before I buy a tablet I will look if I can easy root it.
To the trash with the whole LG factory, not root friendly
 
Tanks for all the help Guus and girls,
One ofof American friends gave me the right link for lollipop LG g7v400
I will pay some beers for him
g7v400n somebody tell me how to root lollipopgo.G7.V400
 
I have what identifies itself as LGUK410, a G Pad 7". I've run PurpleDrake on Windows and OS X and both times it has failed to enter recovery correctly, it appears, and just reboots. PurpleDrake exits with this error:

ERROR: Your phone is not running a compatible software version. No vulnerable mode detected, rebooting phone. We tried to temproot you, and it didn't work. This phone isn't vulnerable, it would appear. Please post on XDA with your phone model, carrier, and SW version in the PurpleDrake thread and someone will take a look. Your phone has been rebooted back to normal system mode, no changes have been made. Thanks for trying!

This is the LTE model from US Cellular, running Android 4.4.2. Everything I've seen claims PurpleDrake will work with this setup. Thoughts?

You just need to download the the KitKat kdz for the device (something like v40010c.kdz, but the letter could change depending on your country, also please note the the v400 is the G Pad 7 WoFi while the LTE ones is v410 and the 8' and 10' one have different codes, don't flash anything that is not strictly developed for your model) and than download the LG Flash Tool 2014 program for Windows!
