Hi LG Optimus 4X owners,

I'm Optimus 2X owner and I really want to know WHY you bought this phone from this ****ty company LG? Didn't you simply know how bad in software support LG is? There is a lot of information on internet how big problems LG phone owners had with Optimus 2X, Optimus Black....so WHY did you buy this phone? LG(at least mobile division) has to go to bankruptcy. I really hate this company and I slander LG wherever I can.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] speedyranger:
i like your question...i will see the answers

:Laugh:
[LG Optimus 4X HD] The Troll:
if i knew, maaannnn...

i'd never be here..

i jus liked it coz of thd games and has a memcard.. *in terms of one x*
[LG Optimus 4X HD] ksekhar:
Same as people in this forum right now thinking of Optimus G and wanting to buy. I honestly thought LG learnt from 2X mistakes and improved. But all they learnt was how to do bootloader lock and screwing up its only users/developers or geeks I'd say.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] hietsu:
I bought this because it was the cheapest high-end smartphone here. I would have had to pay ~250€ more for a galaxy s3 or a one x
[LG Optimus 4X HD] speedyranger:
you made a big deal...i'm so sorry for you/all
[LG Optimus 4X HD] stevendeb25:
I know what ya saying.

We will unlock boot loader sooner or later.

We got 2ndinit other phones have plenty of roms that use 2ndinit. We just gotta learn how to use it properly.

We need a recovery we can flash through default recovery to fake default recovery that would help a lot.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Dexter_nlb:
for non-custom kernel writing, since its locked, i personally find our clockworkmod working optimally? no problems in that one. the trick is just to know how to use 2nd-init i guess.

which my cwm illustrate very nicely.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] stevendeb25:
I mean flash your recovery via stock recovery. It works on other phones. Would help on boot loops. No need to flash kdz files. Just restore a backup
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Dexter_nlb:
maybe i should look into the SAFE bootup, since it works in many cases, when it fails booting for me.

then i can login and su - root, and from here fix the /system with whatever error i got.

actually a nice way to recover, if the 2nd-init fails or makes your device bootloop (but its only for experienced users)

i talk about the VOL+ and POWER ON (no usb cable attached or it will fail)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] vohom001:
Recently bought lg optimus 4x and found out it had locked boot loader. Feel so gutted. Because I didn't know they would do this! (First lg for me in my entire life and probably last if they dont unlock it.)

Well emailing to lg and petition may help but I was thinking that what if we email to Google and ask them and request them to talk to lg about locked boot loader. I mean, the whole reason we are using android is because it meant to be open. But lg decided to act like tight morons....if the person who thought of the idea of locked boot loader was standing near me, I would of made him bleed.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] profyler:
So even that we got rooting and custom recovery, we wont get CF like Cyanogenmod, because of the locked bootloader?

(sorry for noob Q)

[LG Optimus 4X HD] gavolo:
if u seen their fb flooded with hates and they dont bother to clean up or reply, i guess sums it all about lg
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Chad_Petree:
I don't get it, doesn't the optimus 4x has cm 10.1 betas/nightlies already, how can you flash them if the booloader is locked? :confused:

But I guess it would be nice if everyone could add its own personal touch so that they can see that it is not just a mere spam.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] flickyamom:
Could it be..

Could it be that LG created a totally unlockable bootloader in which even they cannot unlock through software? perhaps that is why everytime someone sends a mail to them they reply by saying the bootloader in this device cannot be unlocked.:(
[LG Optimus 4X HD] babymatteo:
Received an email today from the LG OSDC. Here's what it said:

Thank you for your interest about our mobile phone.

“We received your request on LG Open Source Code Distribution site(http://opensource.lge.com).

This site is just for providing source codes of FOSS(Free and Open Source Software) we have used in our product.” Currently we are considering methods and target models for bootloader unlock to allow customers to install a custom OS(Operating System).

We are looking for efficient and safe methods to support it, and the target model will be selected with careful consideration. (e.g technical barrier such as platform limitation and/or mobile carrier’s policy).We will let you know when we are ready to support unlocking the bootloader.It is regrettable that we cannot give you the answer right away.

We hope this information will help you.

Thank you.Sincerely yours, LGE MC Company Open Source Code Distribution Center
[LG Optimus 4X HD] cartermg120:
Thats good news! Maybe :)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] ToniTheKillah:
I don't think so. Lg won't find a secure solution and if they will in 2014.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] babymatteo:
Let's just give them the benefit of the doubt for now. I have total faith and confidence in LG. Their products are just too good to be put to waste.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] ToniTheKillah:
Their devices are very good, but only the hardware.

I had a lg optimus 2x and until i installed CyanogenMod I hated myself, because I didn't bought a Samsung.

And then I installed CyanogenMod and the device was fast and there was no lags. It was the best devise.

I think this will be same withour impressive O4X
[LG Optimus 4X HD] bobby38:
Yep, I like my O4X but the only thing that'll make me pretty proud of it and absolutely don't regret not buying the Nexus is just CyanogenMod :)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] heahmad:
I have the chance to meet a software engineer in lg HQ here and asked him about the bootloader and how to unlock it

he said as official way it's semi-impossible but if users want to unlock it by there self there is no safe method yet because he tried twice on two different devices and both were bricked without return.

sorry for my english
[LG Optimus 4X HD] webfreak1364:
I sent them that in hope that it helps:

I, as you said, gave it my touch^^

Thank you for your interest about our mobile phone.

“We received your request on LG Open Source Code Distribution site(http://opensource.lge.com).

LGP880(EU Open) will be unlocked bootloader after next OS version update which is JellyBean.

We expect that next version update will be during first quarter of 2013.

We hope this information will help you.

Do you think I didn't flash anything since from when i had this phone and my tablet?! Are you joking, dude?! ?-) Who gave you this info? Me not, sure.. At least, he wasn't at home with me, when I soft-bricked 5 times my phone trying to flash some recoveries, changing build.prop, flashing Dexter's custom roms, etc..Now, after many successful flashing, my baby is here with all its functionality, so maybe I'm able to make something useful for it, don't you think? ;)

Hello

I wanted to back to stock ROM and need help about it. My phone is rooted, out of the box s-off and unlocked bootloader. Curently runing mdeejays ICS and have ics radio.

I was just wondering can i just relock bootloader and run RUU from PC? Do i need to change radio or the RUU will take care of that?
[HTC EVO 3D] coal686:
If you want to lose s-off and go completely stock then that's what you would do.

Read, Search, Read again, ... Then Ask with Tapatalk 2
[HTC EVO 3D] ljubisat100:
Off course i dont to lose my s-off...
[HTC EVO 3D] coal686:
Oh. That wasn't clear and some people do. :D

You have two choices then: you can flash a stock rooted Rom if you want root, or you can just run the ruu.exe without locking first. This will put you back at stock Rom with stock recovery but still s-off.

Read, Search, Read again, ... Then Ask with Tapatalk 2
[HTC EVO 3D] ljubisat100:
And if I try to update my phone to ICS, if i flash GB RUU, will i brick my phone since its unlocked?
[HTC EVO 3D] coal686:
It would be best to flash an ics ruu. I think you can flash a GB ruu and update since you are s-off, but I wouldn't.

hi i want a windows 6 pro phone

i tried to search for al ist of them but didnt really have much luck

it has to be winmo 6 pro not 6.1 and prefferably i would also like to find the phone with win 6 pro with the largest screen

so far i got the tytn2 which was the phone i actually had and want to get back to for software reasons but i dont really want the flip keyboard and if possible a bigger screen

thanks in advance

[General Questions and Answers] SimonTS:
Given that you asked for help in finding a phone running an OS that was released 5 1/2 years ago and was 'In the wild' for only a year, what did you really expect? Your reply was unnecessary and unwarranted - if you are that desperate for an antique phone then use Google and you will find a list. If you don't know how to use Google then try this link

Don't expect a DEVELOPMENT site to be ready to rush to answer questions on something that is extremely outdated, superseded and was never exactly popular while it was around.

This project has been discontinued. Any dev please feel free to take over the project.

Hey guys, i present to you a new updated version of CyanogenMod Recovery a.k.a CWM 6.0.1.4. The current version that we use is 5.0.2.6

The new permanent build is up. Its no-more a WIP.

But still please test and report back.

Edit : The bricked ace is causing a lot of problems. I cannot test the recoveries. If possible please consider donating so that i can get it repaired.

Donation link below my profile picture.

Declaration :

[COLOR="Red"]You are using this at your own risk. I am not responsible for any bricks or thermonuclear wars.[/COLOR]

Permanent version : CWM 6.0.1.4

How to flash :

Download the zip and put it in the sdcard.

Reboot to recovery and flash the zip.

Reboot to system. (This system is very important as it links all recovery files to the system.)

Now reboot to recovery and enjoy.

PS : The backups created by this CWM are indeed very small in size. Its a new feature. Don't come running to me asking why it happens. Read below about how it works.

Changelog of CWM 6 :

As said by Koush himself -

Here koush explains how the backup size is so small :
