Sorry but Can I get the V10F version if I have already the root?

Have I do anything before update? I have only the root, not the recovery.

Thanks in advance
[LG Optimus 4X HD] chalid:
Just flash the 10F firmware and root your phone again with the tutorial on page 1.

Worked perfectly fine for me. :)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] alexp999:
I used the LG Mobile support tool to update my rooted phone. Even though it said it would wipe everything it didn't. I would recommend backing up just in case though.

It will unroot the phone, so you will need to follow the root guide again from scratch to regain root.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] muellersmattes:
I used Voodoo Root keeper to temp-unroot before OTA. After the upgrade, root was automatically restored, I suppose by SuperSu.

After have a look of 2ch thread about 4X root,

http://anago.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/android/1333374515/

I found that they can root the 4X without the help of busybox

by the shell root from IS11LG_SystemBackupTest.signed.apk,

so I tried to compress the root script to

Push the files DIRECTLY from PC:

1.remount the needed partition with R/W as usual

2.Push the su and Superuser.apk DIRECTLY to Device (Most Important)

3.Leave the rest to the original script

This make the installation of busybox become an option,as removal,even just upgrade busybox is troublesome:rolleyes:,

and this method makes the unrooting much easier and cleaner.

Thx qaz753 to make the rooting method AND the script,as I can use to make the work easier.;)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] alexp999:
Busybox is not needed to obtain root on the device, but many apps the need root also need busybox, so it is included for ease of use.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] staniotsui2012:
Thats sometimes true,but as I said,switching busybox from the one provided in the pack,to other,

is a painful work,because some versions of busybox maybe cause problem,but help,

when changing symlink(even not now,but maybe in future),

so leave the choice to the user for chosing the desired version of busybox at first will be the best.

Has anyone tried to root a branded phone yet? My GF just got an 4X from "drei" in Austria and I want to confirm that this is possible before bricking her phone, she would kill me :D. I have no experience with LG on Android, I'm a S2 user. Thanks in advance
[LG Optimus 4X HD] gdwelsh:
Got my 4X yesterday, quite impressed, aint had a LG handset for years (Viewty) what real benefits are people rooting for? I mean I did it on my EVO 3D for obvious reasons but what are you guys wanting to change? Sorry for my ignorance, are people overclocking?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Dexter_nlb:
rooting is for:

1 - make full backups using clockworkmod

2 - custom roms, if possible (so far mine is not worth releasing) (jelly bean mods and htc sense4)

3 - graphics mod and deodex (not really happened yet)

4 - remove adware?

5 - OC is not possible since kernel cannot be replaced

6 - other hacks

root offers sometimes more functions and sometime its just the clockworkmod to make backup that is the benefit, although jb offers limited similar functions now but we aint got jb yet.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] gdwelsh:
Thanks very much for the run down, so for someone like me is it really worth rooting it, what I mean exactly is will I see a performance increase by rooting and removing some of the pre-loaded apps?

I am familiar with CWM, used it on my Tegra 2 tablets (Vega & Hannspad) but I just used it to install roms not back up. Having only had the handset one day it appears to work just fine.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Hidden92:
Benefits I use:

- It's possible to block rights of apps (I would never install facebook with all the rights it wants to have, and also most free apps want more information than I'm wolling to give to them)

- AdAway (No more ads in most apps)

- Access to root directory (mainly because I like to play around)

- Full Backups

BTW:

@Dexter: Why is there no deodexed ROM at the moment?

Is it not possible or is it just that noone did it till now?

(I plan to mod some of the System-Apps and as far as I know it needs to be deodexed (I haven't looked into it till now, I'm planning to start with my efforts at the weekend)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] gdwelsh:
I like the idea of adaway, might be worth rooting for that alone. When you say full back up what's it mean, a image of saved Rom with apps?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Dexter_nlb:
no one have tried or understand if its possible without real cwm, but it is. I have a OneX sense4 build i try to fix (without luck) and that is really different.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] aaronmy:
Yo i wanna say thank you soooo much for this post lol this exploit also works on the LG Motion and i'm so glad i went through this sub-forum :)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] :
Hi, this works on the LG Optimus L5 V10C too
[LG Optimus 4X HD] ccssing:
Is this methlod work in other LG devices ?

(such as LTE 2
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Dexter_nlb:
i am sure you will test it and report back and share with others, since you thought of it. and remember to report that in another section, no o4x owners benefit from it :)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] whc:
How to unroot?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Hidden92:
Open SuperSU, there is an option for complete unroot (I can't tell if this actually works but I guess so)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] whc:
Worked, thanks :).
[LG Optimus 4X HD] chip273:
Root successfull ! THX, slight issue though.

Since root I cannot connect to phone in MTP mode, while debug mode is on.

Only when debug mode is off, MTP works.

How can I correct this ?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] leonoel:
Great!! :good:

Anyone can share what original apps will you remove after root?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Hidden92:
SNS (Social Network Crap)

LG was quite conservative with useless stock-apps this time.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] smoke2:
I make a ROOT.

I installed The Amazing Spiderman (latest version 1.1.4) on external SD card with DirectoryBind.

The problem is that the game runs laggy. Low framerate and and every some seconds chopps.

Is it normal that this game runs so slowly and laggy or is it caused by ROOT or external SD card installation?

I never played it before ROOT, so I dont know :o
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Dexter_nlb:
older gameloft games runs poorly on a any new device, you can see much about this in many sections.

root has no effect on performance at all.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] smoke2:
Thank you.

In the program SupeSU there is choice for completely UNROOT.

What does it mean?

The ROOT simply disappear? It will 100% bring my phone to the status before ROOT?

Im asking because what if my phone must will go to service center in the future :)

Sorry Im newbie :)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] smoke2:
I was wondering, is it possible to make full (100%) UNROOT through LG PC Suite with "Emergency Firmware Recovery" ?

Thanks.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Dexter_nlb:
yes
[LG Optimus 4X HD] smoke2:
Thanks.

Did you test it? I have now ROOT and Im afraid if it wont be bricked because Im ROOTed.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] stigb1974:
I used the emergency recovery option to update my rooted v10e to v10f since the OTA update failed.

No problems, and of course re-rooted afterwards ;)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] smoke2:
re-rooted mean that you upgrade firmware through emergency recovery, than you have newer version which was not rooted and the you make root? Am I right?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Dexter_nlb:
that is correct, and what i do when i get a bootloop and need to return to factory stock rom. so that works and might be problem in the future, so we need cwm ota updates from then on :)

so factory kdz roms without rootable option can be avoided, but for now, it works fine to re-root when its installed even on v10f euro open.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] smoke2:
Great, then unroot is so simple, only do "emergency firmware recovery" :good:
[LG Optimus 4X HD] gdwelsh:
Rooted my 4x with ease. Although I did not need to update SU or have the option.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] smoke2:
Is it true that SuperUser drains battery a lot?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Dexter_nlb:
if you got an app that uses SU access alot, then yes, su will run alot too together with the app that uses su alot.

by itself it should be fine in standby, i have not seen it on a hitlist for high battery drains.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] alexp999:
I updated the zip file a little while ago with the latest binaries, there can always be updates though :)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] smoke2:
I use Directory Bind often, but I have problem with him :(

I moved some games from Gameloft and Glu to externalSD card, completely with additional data, everything worked fine, but maybe after restart (?) all games want to download additional data again and I dont know why.

Where I can made mistake?

Would be very appreciated.

Thanks a lot.

Sorry out topic

Just want to know

Factory reset void phone warranty or not?

Because it say "removing DRM license" ,

But factory reset at sony phone not removing DRM license

afaik if you lost DRM you will lose warranty (Sony phone).

What about LG? different warranty policy or what?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] RuedasLocas:
If you do "factory reset", how can the warranty be void if it is FACTORY??? :rolleyes:
[LG Optimus 4X HD] meld:
Yeah i know

But why it say removing drm license while sony phone not say that?

Just curious, because if you lost drm on sony phone your warranty is void
[LG Optimus 4X HD] ny11725:
anyone have a response for my issue?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] stigb1974:
I could be wrong, but my interpretation is as follows:

LG warns that your DRM

licenses

will be deleted, not the DRM itself. (Meaning your purchased media won't work anymore.)

Sony voids the warranty if their DRM itself is removed/tampered with.

DRM = any kind of access control technology including mp3's as well as firmware.

DRM license = the verificating data attached to your copy of any app, game, music, video or service.

[LG Optimus 4X HD] GiantsFan91:
do u think i should try this for lg intuition?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] moss20:
hi !

does the drivers and the script work on vista 32 bit ?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] RuedasLocas:
It should. The important is to be 32bit (x86)

But who uses Vista??? Is the worst OS I ever saw...
[LG Optimus 4X HD] moss20:
I have an intel q6600 processor...

I use vista 'cause when I bought my pc it was the latest OS avaible..However I've never had big problems with vista : it's original and fully updated and now it's ok...don't know what kind of problems do other peoble have with vista...
[LG Optimus 4X HD] R-TEAM:
Hi,

have an "little" problem ...

Sometimes SU hangs ... as example :

Updating AdAway host file and AdAway hangs at "Aktivate Host File ..." ...

The same with Titanium Backup - sometimes its hang at start from titanium .. or, thats more bad, hang at the backup process at an app , 22 from 170 as example ..

So i think something is wrong ?

Have 10F German.

Regards

R-TEAM
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Hidden92:
I have this problem as well, but only sometimes. (Also when opening SuperSU and switching to a different tab (e.g. logfiles) it freezes)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] RuedasLocas:
Sometimes I have the same but very rare... better if "notifications" are off, also set to clean registry every day.

I don't use backups or programs like titanium, only the "lucky patcher" and "Uninstaller Pro".

I mess so much with the phone that the best is flash it everytime something goes wrong.

About Vista... I think Win7 manage much better the resorces even of old cpu's, and networks much better from far, not to mention that the updates that we need untill now will fill the computer of trash.

I install it in more than 20 "old" laptops from friends of mine and all of them were surprised with the preformance increased in the computers, even being old.

Its a question of try and see...
[LG Optimus 4X HD] moss20:
vista or not I have this OS on my PC and I don't think I'll change before rooting my 4x so I'd like to know if anyone with vista 32 bit os and intel cpu has already rooted the phone without problems.

It doesn't help me knowing that seven is better than vista and works good also in old PC 'cause I don't have seven and I don't think my PC rig is so old (quad core cpu @ 2.66 ghz,4bg corsair dominator ram,1.5 tb hd,1 gb ddr3 asus en8800 gt 1g gpu etc.).

PS : I already knew that seven is better optimized than vista :P

I also knew that vista on some pc may cause some trouble (that's why I told that I've never had big problems)...
[LG Optimus 4X HD] RuedasLocas:
Sorry @moss20, I didn't mean to offend you. Even because I don't care about your computer, it was just an opinion.

This is a place where is supose we help each other and, if you don't know, a lot of people don't change the OS for the most stupid reasons that we can imagine (not saying that its your case) but, the most part of them is because they're afraid or because they don't know more...

The author of the tutorial said that only works with 32bit OS, I think that the "compatibility manager" will be able to deal with that in case of need (sometimes it can't).

But once that you have 1.5 TB of HDD you can create (or not) a partition where you can install Win7 32bit and choose it at the boot up of the computer. Later you can format the partition or just uninstall that Windows 7 version.

Hope to be helpfull.

Best regards ;)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] moss20:
ok thanks,I'll try :)

by the way,you didn't offend me,don't worry ! :)

Big Problem while tried to root. *NEED HELP*

Hello,

today i tried ro Root my P880 and i got a big problem. :crying:

I have the V10F faktory installed.

Now i followed the Steps of the Root-Guide to root my phone to Step 9.

My Phone reboot but i can´t get out of the PIN entering Screen.

So i got no chance to get into the normal Phone screen to set it into "Loading Only Mode" to do the next Steps after 9th.

PLEASE HELP ME.

Do i have to do a factory reset or something like that?

Any other options to get out of it?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Ironass:
Ok i fixed this problem.

But now i got another problem.

HEY I GOT IT!!!

This is the way to fix this problem of my *P880 V10F German*

I´m not really sure which method was the right one but i think i got it...

so here is my way out of it:

After finishing the Root-Guide Steps until 9 and hanging in PIN Screen...

1. Start Fly-Mode by holding Power and choose it.

2. Restart your Phone.

3. Check out if your are in USB-Debuging Mode and Only-Charching Mode

4. Now go one with point 12 of the GUIDE

Maybe you got the same problem like me that it says "error: more than one device and emulator"

Here the way i fixed it.

1. Go to your Device Manager on the PC

2. Check out your Android Phone..open it an disable every function but "Android Sooner Single ADB Interface"

3. Release the USB connection to your phone and connect it on another usb port of your pc.

4. Now go on at point 12 of the Root Guide

Have fun rooting your 4X HD!!! :)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] RuedasLocas:
Maybe if you have done a factory reset before you root your phone, you could avoid this kind of problem :)

Happy that you solve it ;)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Dexter_nlb:
i would disconnect all other devices attached to the pc, which is an android device, if you configured the device incorrectly, you should delete them and not disable them, as disable will affect the other devices you have attached.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] anGel_pLayer:
Rooted successfully but charging became slow. Usually when I'm using the device it will still charge up, but now when I'm using it while charging it drains.. Can anyone help? V10c
[LG Optimus 4X HD] RuedasLocas:
I would recomend...

Factory reset

Re-flash to V10c

Root again

Don't forget to uninstall the "IS11LG_SystemBackupTest.signed.apk" after root and update SU (it should ask you for the update when you start the app).
[LG Optimus 4X HD] anGel_pLayer:
I uninstalled the "IS11LG_SystemBackupTest.signed.apk" but the SuperSu did not ask for update.. can I update it manually?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] RuedasLocas:
You can go to https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.supersu&hl=tl and install it.

Will overwrite (update) the one that you have.

After update run it to update binary
[LG Optimus 4X HD] anGel_pLayer:
I've updated it.. Thanks I'll try monitor it for now. One thing I've notice while rooting was I was on 20+% on battery.. Then after the reboot from rooting the battery shot up to 50% flat...

Also the Screen timeout doesn't work anymore, even if it set to just 15sec.

Are these normal after rooting?

Sorry for the questions as this is my first android phone.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] RuedasLocas:
After a good flash (thats why I recommend a factory reset, to clean all data) and a good root, everything should work normaly.

Mine works perfect, I started with flash, root, update SU and only after I start to install other apps and freeze those that I don't want.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] anGel_pLayer:
Ok I'll try to do a factory reset. Is flashing really needed? I not quite familiar with those things yet.

BTW, when I do a factory reset, should I trust the "back up my data" option or do I have to manually back up my apps, contacts, messages etc?

Thanks a lot for replying.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] RuedasLocas:
"factory reset" will erase everything from the phone!!!

I think you can use LG PC Suite to backup your contacts and messages (I only backup my contacts...).

About the apps, my advice is to do a clean install. Takes a little longer but is better.

If you have some files from those apps, save them on your PC and after install you can put them back there (ex.: maps from GPS).
[LG Optimus 4X HD] anGel_pLayer:
Thanks.. Phone data only? How about the files from sdcad and external_sd?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] RuedasLocas:
Easy, take out the micro sd card...

Internal memory (the one from the phone) will be erased!!!
[LG Optimus 4X HD] WeeJockMacFeegle:
I got the same message, but after reboot and install of SuperSU root was working fine.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] smoke2:
I have a problem with my rooted 4X.

Im using Directory Bind.

I moved before everything to external SD correctly, but now when I want to install new game, at first its installing to internal memory it writes me that I have not enough free space, but my internal memory is over 9GB free.

I previously moved approximate those 9GB to external SD, but my phone is thinking that the internal memory is full despite showing the free space.

Small programs I can install correctly.

I tried to unbind all, but not helped.

What is caused with?

How can I solve this problem?

Would be very appreciated.

[LG Optimus 4X HD] alex873:
I did it.Thanks a lot.

It was a little tricky on the step that i need it to shutdown and reebot, i didn't undersant if i need it to reebot or shutdown and turn on again my phone, eventually i shuted down and turnit of again after setting debug mode ecc and installing the app.

I must say that when it turned on again even the lockscreen didn't answered to my comands so i prayed and i went on with the steps launching the script, all went well.

Thank you again i have one more time the controll of my smartphone.

I tried the app Kernel Tuner and seems like the underclocking works even if it seems bugged with Quadrant the results vary on the settings that i put on the app.

Best phone with money/quality ratio, i think that at LG Headquarters have mice's that think for them otherways why locking the bootloader,

they could make it like HTC and if i unlock it the warranty should be void in same cases, i would still unlock it.:victory:

I recently had gotten my phone stuck at the SAMSUNG logo because of a voodoo issue, but have since resolved it.

What I did was:

1. Flash over a stock DI01 image over ODIN which put me on 2.1

2. Using the guide on the cyanogenmod wiki, flash CWM over Heimdall

3. Wiped Data and Cache and then attempted to flash the ROM through CWM

But a little bit in the phone reboots and gets stuck at the SAMSUNG logo again so I had to restore to stock, again.

So now I am at stock 2.1 I haven't been in the android scene for a long time and I forget a lot about flashing ROM's. Could someone please point out the proper way to do this?
