hmm, seems like Apex is causing some trouble in my Note as it keeps craahing. so i'm using Atom launcher atm, cause it uses also Go launcher themes and widgets are also resizable. i can highly recommend Atom launcher.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] medowance:
Just to check with you guys as well. (OT a bit)

I'm using go launcher.. yes.. it's laggy and having difficulty on the notification session where it only has for phone, message, k9... i want something that includes all notification for all apps (something like iphone, where the notification bubble on the icon)

Will try atom, looks promising :)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strawmetal:
Area 1

Doesnt work some times on mimicry, elitemod(ics), recovery, elitemod(cm7), EnergyROM.

Area 2

These don't work randomly on mimicry, elitemod(ics). Completely useless on elitemod(cm7). Works perfecctly on EnergyROM. Works sometomes in recovery.

Could someone tell me whether this is a hardware or software issue. I can't spend much on a replacement screen. I'll have to settle for a basic Nokia.
[HTC Rezound] Meticode:
Does anyone know of any Mods that will work for stock ICS rooted? Latest release? I'm looking for a cross-hair remover and a mod that will show the battery percentage.

Thanks.
[HTC Rezound] WasabiWa83:
You can use the uot kitchen to make the battery mod. It's pretty simple. The GPS signal is a little tougher.

Unfortunatelly nobody seems to get root, i will try to find out why it worked for me...

I got root acces (and so did a friend of mine) but for some weird reason nobody else seems to get it with the steps i posted. I will explain step by step what i did and had on my pc while gaining root acces:

- I am working on a fresh Windows 7 64 bit pc

- I have never had any lg software installed on it (just formated my hard drives and re installed Windows)

- I have a stock non-branded Dutch LG p-880

- I connected my phone, put it in USB-Debugging mode

- Found out not all of the drivers where installed correctly

- Went to the LG website, downloaded and installed the LGMobile support tool

- In the support tool i went to instal drivers (at the right top), whent to the LGP-880 and double clicked for installing the drivers

- I had the phone connectivity switched on at LG PC Software

- Then i ran the root.bat file and nothing happend

- Changed the phone's connectivity to Charging only and ran the boot.bat file again and that did the trick.

First off all I have to mention i didn't do any development at all and credits go to kennethpenn for his ''One Click HTC One X (AT&T/Rogers/Others) (Win/Mac/Linux) root'' and to one of my close friends for telling me about the tool.

I just wanted to find out how to get root and thought, why not? So i started the script and it gave me root acces, installed SU and a Busybox.

This is how to do it:

- Download and install the LG Optimus 4x HD drivers from the LGMobile Support Tool (you can download it from LG's website or download it here) Start the program, at the top right corner press install drivers and look for the LG P880 then double klick

- Download kennethpenn's root tool here and extract it to a folder you want

- Plug your device in your computer and turn USB Debugging on: Settings, developer options, USB Debugging. Make sure your connection option is set to charge only.

- Now double click root.bat

- Your device will restart a couple of times and congratulations: You've got root

I did all of this without installing/using lg pc suite

As always, i am not responsible (neither is kennethpenn) for bricking your device.

V10b. Are you sure you installed the drivers correctly? I installed them with the LGMobile Support tool (you can download it at LG's website orhere)

Start the program, at the top right corner press install drivers and look for the LG P880 then double klick. Reconnect your phone and try again
[LG Optimus 4X HD] JJnJ:
Correct, but it also works on the Optimus 4x HD
[LG Optimus 4X HD] ianford10:
Serious? Need to try but can't until tomoz, anyone else tried with success?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] nikokazaa:
When i found 5 minutes, i try it!
[LG Optimus 4X HD] MoYo:
Wont work for me. Tried several times.

"/data/local/" is locked on my Device.

Only "/data/local/tmp/" is useable.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] JJnJ:
Let me know if it worked for you guys
[LG Optimus 4X HD] dexter90:
i tried many times.... don't work ..... :(
[LG Optimus 4X HD] fire3d:
didn't work for me either, i changed a lot, i even cannot push to /data/local - only to /data/local/tmp,

so i changed the pathes and such in the script, didnt' work :(
[LG Optimus 4X HD] JJnJ:
Very strange, im on v10b Dutch stock version. Did everything on the first post and it worked within 5 minutes. All you guys installed the driver via the LGMobile software tool?

You can also try with uninstalling lg pc sync and then selecting your phones connectivity to lg software ?

I used Windows 7 64
[LG Optimus 4X HD] hkhkhkhk:
Not working for me

I'm on V10c

In a couple of minutes i will completely discribe step by step wat i had installed, used and pc. Maybe that will help somebody?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] MoYo:
Sry ... but this wont work.

The "data/local/" folder is locked.

Only "data/local/tmp" is open.

Possible that it worked for you... but not for most users ... no chance.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] ianford10:
Nope not working, maybe you have a developer device :)

[LG Optimus 4X HD] Jacob_Bentzen:
And it didn't work for me :(
[LG Optimus 4X HD] nortonnc:
i will wait for better root method.......:(

Looks like nobody can root with your way.......
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Ralf2503:
****, same to me, no chance! :-(( Did everything as mentioned above (W7/x64 PC and v10b from 11.06.), but no joy! Am I right that only dutch LGs could have been rooted sucessfully so far?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Dexter_nlb:
nice,

if you are rooted indeed, you will have no trouble sending a proper dump of the root filesystem, with init.* files which no one can read without root.

if thats not working, i guess you havent got root, then :)

/data/* filestructure will also help here, but not the files, just folders and permissions.

just checked the root.bat script, it will not work on our o4x,

- since /data/local is not world writable.

- /data/local/tmp is folder is owned by root and cannot be renamed, only written to when entering it.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] dexter90:
I have tested the script with various combinations.... it seems strange that only he has had write permissions on /data/local
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Maatje:
fail

I have a dutch LG, updated to v10b, windows 7 x64, firewall off.

usb connection mode: charge only

The device only reboots once.

Alas...no success (same error: failed to copy, permission denied).

I hope this is not a lame joke.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] JJnJ:
I am able to remove system files true Titanium Backup. How can i make a dump of the systems root files?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] JJnJ:
Nope, not a joke, if you live in my neighbourhood (holland isn't that big) you are welcome to see for yourselve
[LG Optimus 4X HD] dexter90:
How did you get that phone?

you could post a screenshot of the kernel and firmware version?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Pierre Duc:
Or better, just post a photo with superuser asking for permissions... Tried it here as well, non-branded dutch lg. All permission denied, and boring double reboot.

I'm getting the feeling someone is craving for attention.. :rolleyes:
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Dexter_nlb:
you seem to know adb here, so a simple copy of busybox to the device, which the root did for you copying it to the /data/local folder.

in the busybox, you got "tar"

so do this from the root of the phone

ie.

# cd /

# tar cf /mnt/sdcard/myinit-files.tar *.rc

it will only take the *.rc files and put into your sdcard location.

next do,

adb pull /mnt/sdcard/myinit-files.tar .

maybe even better,

if you can dump the different partitions to your sdard?

ie.

# cat /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 >/mnt/sdcard/part1

# cat /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 >/mnt/sdcard/part2

# cat /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 >/mnt/sdcard/part3

# cat /dev/block/mmcblk0p4 >/mnt/sdcard/part4

# cat /dev/block/mmcblk0p6 >/mnt/sdcard/part6

# cat /dev/block/mmcblk0p8 >/mnt/sdcard/part8

# cat /dev/block/mmcblk0p9 >/mnt/sdcard/part9

# cat /dev/block/mmcblk0p10 >/mnt/sdcard/part10

# cat /dev/block/mmcblk0p11 >/mnt/sdcard/part11

# cat /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 >/mnt/sdcard/part12

# cat /dev/block/mmcblk0p13 >/mnt/sdcard/part13

i believe part1 or part2 contains our boot.img, then we can extract files ourselves.

those 2 files are probably just 8MB total zipped, so you can attach to a post here.

the rest needs to goto a hotfile.com or similar upload site.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] JJnJ:
Tomorrow i have time to look into that and will try to make a dump
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Pierre Duc:
I asked for a photo. Not a screenshot. These can easily be from your HTC x. So if you would be so kind to take a picture of your 4X being rooted.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] JJnJ:
Good enough for you??
[LG Optimus 4X HD] dexter90:
perfect.... where you buy this phone?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] sregnov:
yes, where did you buy that phone from? :) really itching to get one ASAP!!!
[LG Optimus 4X HD] JJnJ:
Bought it at an online retailer

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQuJQ1CvMHQ&feature=youtube_gdata_player

A video of root acces
[LG Optimus 4X HD] dexter90:
private video
[LG Optimus 4X HD] JJnJ:
it's open now
[LG Optimus 4X HD] dexter90:
this phone is unique
[LG Optimus 4X HD] ianford10:
Which online retailer if you don't mind?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Dexter_nlb:
ok, so it all looks legit somehow, maybe its another developer model, where boot.img is unsecure.

this can be checked with a "getprop" in a adb shell as well, it could give us some answer to that.

anyways, thanks, if you can dump the partitions we can hope we can see something else which can open our models as well.

ill check up on this thread tomorrow or pm me when it available.

Tried factory reset, still get permission denied access to /data/local.

Firmware version V10a
[LG Optimus 4X HD] zerooonekenobi:
So, I tried pushing to /data/local/tmp instead of data/local/ since I get write access there but I still get permission denied on everything else.

If anyone has any good ideas I'm willing to give it a try.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] dexter90:
if you use the command adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp change the permissions correctly
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Dexter_nlb:
do not help. /data/local only gives you read permission on dirs/files in that folder.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] dexter90:
I give up ..... if anyone has any idea exposes them. I will be happy to beta testers
[LG Optimus 4X HD] ilan_75:
hello,

first of all sorry for my bad english.

FYI, i have tried mkdir /local in /data/ and push some file in data, and that in factory and recovery, and no luck.

Once is access denied and once is you don't have permission on "public device" (don't remeber the excat terms).

So i download our default.prop, and ro.security is 1. If we want to modify something, it have to be 0. But the default.prop is a copy when the phone boot, of the default.prop in boot.img (that's what i read in my research).

so are we are stuck until whe have a new boot.img of a non public phone?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] ianford10:
Don't suppose you fancy selling that phone do you?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] atlexx:
your method failed on y phone too :(

how did you upgrade to v1.0b ? OTA or with the LG support tool . I Thought everybody have done this OTA. but looking at the tool, I found that it is able to upgrade the phone. So my idea is that the support tool may have "unlocked" your filesystems to do the upgrade.

BTW, thanks for sharing your experience with us...
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Dexter_nlb:
i used the lg tool as well, and its not unlocked. i believe the IMEI will find a developer firmware, if you enter the correct information.

so we might just get the right firmware, if we had the developer phone IMEI + serial :-) then the lg tool would install a "vendor" edition instead of the user firmware edition. at least thats what i see reading strings inside the DLL files, that 2 versions can be found.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] dexter90:
you may post the files?? then having the phone imei and sn a developer can get all the root?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] JJnJ:
Haha nope sorry ..

Sorry that i am not a 4x holder, i got the LTE2(F160-L). It is the sister phone with 4X in LG brands and just released about 2 months ago. But i hope my method can help you guys to root 4X.

I root my LTE2 with these steps:

1. Download and install the driver of the phone

2. Download the KDZ file--LG phone update file.

3. Download the root.zip file and install msxml to run the kdz update.

4. Run the rooting.bat after unzip the root.zip.

5. Follow the instruction in the bat.

5.1 Connect the phone with driver and in debugged mode

5.2 After the adb push, turn off the phone and turn it to download mode by holding up and down volume key and plugin the USB and press enter in the bat and it stop in a page showing "!!!Iparam=5!!!"

5.3 open the KDZ update, and try to make a update with KDZ file in mode:cs_emergency type:3GQCT

5.4 after you see the Iparam=5, back to the bat and press enter. it will run the LTE2Root.exe to the phone

6. the phone will reboot and get the root.

I also uploaded the root.zip to dropbox, so you guys maybe learn from it and can be root the 4X in later.

h t t p://db.tt/vhtsLvIK
[LG Optimus 4X HD] ianford10:
Many thanks for this, have been trying for the past half an hour without any success. I never see the iparam=5 in the bat or KDZ update tool.

To get into download mode take battery out and volume down only then connect USB :)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] dexter90:
thk for this but don't work... :(
[LG Optimus 4X HD] aya114:
Try to open the rooting.bat with a notepad and you will find out what i said.

The file is not suitable for 4X to run directly, i think....although my LTE2 build number is the same in IML74K.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Dexter_nlb:
did our source for a root'd o4x die? so we wait for another developer phone then :)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] ianford10:
Lol, he's not been on for a couple of days, he could have a life you know ;)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Dexter_nlb:
and i probably share his engagement at my job too and with family too... and the life on that person also share visiting this forum every day :good: latest just 20mins ago.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Dexter_nlb:
i digged into alternate rooting solutions, looking at the diag port which opens through "S/W update" or using hidden menu "CP USB".

i do not know if it helps anyone testing,

but all commands send using "putty" connecting to serialport at 115200/8/n/1 , needs to by typed twice

like

AT%FRSTSTATUS=5

AT%FRSTSTATUS=5

before its accepted and changed. and yes, it is not echo'ing what you type

i havent found much yet, but that i can change some parameters, not sure if any will affect a developer bootup.

those who want to see it, can check the "logcat" during bootup and you see all the service commands available

[LG Optimus 4X HD] Dexter_nlb:
seems to relate to yaffs filesystem, but!

maybe a binary edit of the bottom of file? not sure, that part is actually part of any checks.

it contains a full list of all files, that needs ownership set, maybe just change all 0755 to 4755 and the shell will eventually open as root.

and maybe helping on some other files?

its full of these:

set_perm 2000 2000 0755 ./SYSTEM:xbin/tcpdump

problem then, is where to put this update? how does it get installed?

location: /data/data/com.lge.lgfotaclient/files/dlpkgfile

[LG Optimus 4X HD] DS7005:

[LG Optimus 4X HD] Dexter_nlb:
here is maybe another way to find root hole.

create a ftp server on your machine.

create a user with name: images and password: images

in the root of the user images create folder cache

you can now place a "ota_update.zip" in that folder for late download to your o4x.

remember that file still needs to be signed :(

on you mobile, you can activate download of that ota_update.zip through hidden dialer menu(8435#*880#)

and select image updater and enter your ipadress of the pc with the ftp server. and press connect.

you will see the ota_update.zip as a filesize of X bytes and you can select it.

selecting it will download and reboot o4x, and enter recovery.

but for now it fails as it is not signed with LG sig.

but maybe a way to put updates on it, since recovery do not find external sdcard, and we cannot put them onto /cache ourselves.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] overlord727:
This worked for me! I have root!
[LG Optimus 4X HD] dexter90:
but what the files can you use for update?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Dexter_nlb:
looking at a previous post, this phone is a developer phone, with root opened already, so sadly, no news here.. all too many got those developer models, but no firmware for us.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] overlord727:
Check your PMs :)

Also I managed to get busybox installed using JRUMMY's busybox installer. Titanium backup now works on here.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Dexter_nlb:
thanks!!

i am sharing the extracted boot.img , here now. it shows that the bug with /data/local is NOT fixed on your mobile, and its no developer model, probably just an earlier firmware, which we could take advantage of if we could get our hands on the download of it.

here is the dumped boot.img (without kernel)

edit:

got the phone build details: LG-P880-V08c-MAR-12-2012

so question is HOW can we download the V08c image from the web now?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] overlord727:
I don't know. Is there any way I can back up or make a nandroid somehow? I don't know how without an official CWM build or something of that nature. Would backing up my system files with Titanium Backup be of any use?
