[LG Optimus 4X HD] MyPass:
is it normal, that the debugging-modus couldn´t be switched on on unrooted devices?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] muellersmattes:
You'll have to plug out the USB cable to change that.

We can't copy zips to internal SD. So can't install SU or Busybox. So c'mon, what did you PM? Please keep this open for everyone. Is there a solution or isn't there? Desperately wanting to get root access.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Dexter_nlb:
please read the full story, or stay away from commenting on it.

this persons model was open and using a very early release of the firmware v08c, so read and understand what we discuss here, before attacking the person.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Maatje:
I follow this discussion almost daily. I am not attacking anyone, just making sure I didn't miss anything interesting that was PM-ed :D

So if I get this clearly, we have in this thread two persons with root but who happen to have a development model right? I will be a good boy and keep my patience and let the devs do their magic. :good:
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Dexter_nlb:
call it developer, but its more the firmware release, which were not meant for the shops, maybe a few models are in the shops by accident, but yes. 2 persons reported they got it + the CM10 presentation.

not helping us, and its not fun being stuck at v08c when fixes is not gonna apply to the old version, and root is lost when its updated i believe, i do not think the ota root keep app works here? maybe someone knows?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] fire3d:
i tried a lot the last days, no root actually, but i'am sure, there is a hole anywhere - so i play again ....
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Dexter_nlb:

He knows something about unlocking the bootloader proceeds to LG?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] fire3d:
mh, it seems that this is hard to break ......
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Dexter_nlb:
YES

but we are not alone, new models arrive and share the same challenge, so although o4x community do not get the attention we might be lucky the other new models do get the attention and new exploits are found. linux is not as perfect as it looks right now :)

but it can take a while.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] fire3d:
i think we have to go deeper into this, has anyone any information how we can read firmware or parts of it from the phone?

there was a tool for another lg phone, cant remember the name where you are able to do such things in lg download mode.....
[LG Optimus 4X HD] alexp999:
The other problem is availability of the phone. Its currently only available in mainland Europe afaik.

We will get root. Even the popular HTC Sensation took some time to crack the bootloader so it was flashable.

I'm trying things whenever I can, scouring the lg servers for old firmware versions. We just need a tiny crack to stick our prying tools into.

As you say, the more phones like this which come out, and the wider availability will increase the user base and our chances of someone finding root.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] atipon:
http://androidroot.mobi/t3_nvflash/

They mentioned about more devices support, that would be nice if it means 4x hd.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Dexter_nlb:
don't waste time on it, if you mean links to the server we find the others on.

i made a shell script running from v07.00 -> V07.09 upto v11.09 for p880. and only found the preview of v10d but required logins (before it was official)

and i did this for many countries as well (easy when first the script works)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] alexp999:
Yeah, I couldnt find any either, it was just one example of things we have all tried.

I'm going to take another look into the backup system later today too. The backup app on the phone clearly has root access with everything it is able to backup.

Perhaps we can slip the required files into the backup and then restore it?

I have yet to get my phone into any of the boot modes either, Ive tried several times, it always wants to boot normally.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] muellersmattes:
There seems to be no way to directly modify those backup files, as Sprite Mobile hasn't released a viewer/editor, and neither have i found any user-made. But maybe if you restore a backup from a rooted phone? Are our two rooted sources still around?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Dexter_nlb:
have you upgraded? did you run ota root keeper or similar before you did?

did you make a backup of your phone with LG backup/sprite before you upgraded?

leading to, do you still have root on your upgraded mobile?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] overlord727:
I had tried to update using the LG support tool as well as looking for an OTA software update coupled with OTA Rootkeeper. My root was protected through OTA rootkeeper, but every time I went to update by OTA on the phone, it would say my phone was not registered. When trying to update using the other LG support method, it would say that the latest version was already installed as well as saying that my phone was a different model number when I plugged it in.

I might just be stuck on v08...

Oh I Forgot to mention I tried using that one program thats kind of like odin to flash firmware but that did not work either (tried the official latest EUR update for this phone).
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Dexter_nlb:
so you will need a APX solution as well, so you can fix the problems.

i might just do something drastic and get OneX, since i normally feel like The Flash when im using my mobile, that is not possible currently :) so i might switch but not because of the rooting issue, that should arrive sooner or later.

Yes we can put update.zip('s) ourselfs to the cache/recovery directory.

you can put it in /data/local/tmp too, but again not helping since no one looks there.

In recovery mode, you can flash .zips from the /cache/recovery/ directory.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azdaboss:
I was taking some pictures on my s3 yesterday and randomly the camera went black. The whole phone packed up so I took the battery out and put it in again and started the phone back up.

Now my memory card isn't recognised, and even when I put it into a USB memory card reader to my PC, it doesnt show up either.

If I put the memory card in my phone, and connect my phone to PC using a USB cable, the device shows up under Portable devices, and then shows phone and memory card capacities. But when I click on the memory card, it says no files!

Any help please!? I had loads of photos and videos on the card that I need back!! It won't show up under My computer so using recovery software is pointless.

Thanks

I seem to be having an issue with my phone. I'm at mid level noobness so bare with me. I'm running CM9 and used the flashboot boot boot.img command to get it running. As soon as I run that command it boots my phone on into the ROM. From my understanding of the guide you should be able to boot into recovery and THEN flash the ROM and boot up the phone. Mine seems to boot up as soon as I run the command and I believe because of that if I go to restart my phone it stays on the facotry boot up screen. So to restart my phone I gotta plug it into the computer and do it all over. Any care to plzzzz help me? Thx

I'm in the hboot and select "fastboot" it gives me "fastboot usb" which connects my phone to the pc. I type in the mentioned command and it gives me the confirmation. My phone then immediately boots into the ROM.

Isn't it suppose to remain in hboot at this point so that I can boot to recovery THEN flash the corresponding ROM?

Joey, what is the chance of using this method to flash radios, pri, and nv items that are included in the ota?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] joeykrim:
Well, off the top of my head, here are some thoughts:

HTC doesn't allow direct access to those partitions from normal Android mode, at least as far as I've been able to tell. If somebody knows otherwise, I'd be interested in learning.

The only other method which comes to mind would be the handling and positioning of the zip file on the sdcard of an S-OFF device. I'm always hesitant to host/provide HTC files as they have been aggressive in the past in pursuing those who host their files.

Not sure how much an Android app which simply moved files around on the sdcard would be in relation to all the File Manager applications out there.

If I'm missing something, let me know! I do appreciate the suggestion and I'll keep my eyes open!
