@Eeternityprj "Crap. I forgot the kernel into the package and I've softbricked. Uff... Flashing a KDZ.... #ImAnIdiot"

---------- Post added at 09:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:00 PM ----------

@Eternityprj "Bad" news. Isn't there any f#$*kin KDZ flasher for Linux?!? My only Windows machine (Acer W700) crashes because of USB3. Crappy LG.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Evilandi666:
How can he boot a custom kernel with locked bootloader? Second Init?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Dexter_nlb:
you cannot boot any kernel , but you can boot a new RAMDISK if you want, thats it.

if he makes the image like i do, he will succeed, otherwise he needs a BL unlocked and he will probably wait some time on LG then.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Evilandi666:
Just a thought: Do you really think kholk does not know this? I think he wouldn't write "I forgot the kernel" when he wouldn't be able to boot it somehow.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Dexter_nlb:
basic misunderstanding. when you compile the cm10 tree you can compile a kernel as well.

if he actually tried to add the kernel, as you think. what makes you think that he can? no one else believe so? there is still a locked BL to deal with.

do you not think he would inform ppl if he hacked the BL, before he started compiling ?????

Re: [UNLOCK SOON!] Bootloader unlock bounty

Not yet but I'm on the right way..

Sent from my LG-P880
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Evilandi666:
He wrote he didn't add the kernel to the image he tries, because he forgot to add it?

However:

It seems that he really tried the kernel (and the bootloader didn't accept it):
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Dexter_nlb:
you keep misunderstanding.. those errors relate to a original stock kernel booting, but he forgot or didnt read all my posts on LG security, he basically is way behind me on building a rom.

LG put alot of security and certificate checking into their build, do you really still think he got a kernel booting, or are you just wishing you read gibbberish you do not understand and translated it all into something you want to read.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Evilandi666:
I think he tries and fails. Nothing more.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Dexter_nlb:
and i tell you he only tried to run with our stock kernel , which i am pretty sure is true. you should maybe get that detail on twitter within short time i hope.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] roger321974:
and i told kholk is an noob ... nothing, never nothing from him ... thats all ... not seriously i mean ... show me what he do for O4X.

:confused:

Any prove!
[LG Optimus 4X HD] razerblade17:
maybe we should ask some dev on LGO2X forum, or HTOX...
[LG Optimus 4X HD] reas0n:
Yep, but they collected 4000$...
[LG Optimus 4X HD] razerblade17:
i already ask some dev from lgo2x forum...and one of them reply that we should ask wkpark...mybe we should ask him :victory:
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Stefan Gündhör:
I don't think this will help you much... We (at least I) don't own the device and can't do a single test! Dunno if it is even possible to unlock it without having used the phone at all.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] razerblade17:
yes, i know that..maybe we should discuss to collect some money to buy LG4x for dev, so they can try to unlock this phone... :D
[LG Optimus 4X HD] reas0n:
yeah but that person would for sure unlock it then...

@edit i think post on xda blog about it should help a lot
[LG Optimus 4X HD] bobby38:
But we've raised enough money to buy one O4X, so if there is a good dev can't we contact him, donate the money and hope he'll do a good job ?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] reas0n:
I added a poll, please vote. I think it's a good idea

@btw please introduce me a skilled dev who'd be able to unlock our o4x
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Croaker24:
Help

lets give the dev a new 4xHD
[LG Optimus 4X HD] gavolo:
how about approaching wkpark since he started a thread on bootlocker. surely he have some interest :x

btw dont have much but 10€ from me too.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Stefan Gündhör:
That's a risky thing you are going to do!

No DEV can guarantee you he will be able to unlock it and there's also not everyone able to do it.

Why doesn't one of you BORROW his own phone to a skilled DEV and use an older phone himself meanwhile?

If the DEV fails you get your phone back.

But please only choose trustable and skilled DEVs.

I have never unlocked a bootloader before because I never had a phone with a locked one so I can't help you. But decide wisely to whom you give money or phones BEFORE receiving results.

Wkpark is skilled and trustable for sure, I recommend him too.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] razerblade17:
i agree with u...now lgo2x already get cm10..hope lg4x will get it soon..:)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] reas0n:
Yeah i also think that wkpark is a good dev, but important is that he want help us or not :D He said to me that he couldn't do it, but i believe in him :)

So... final decision?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] _RSAobj:
Well I dont mind giving a dev remote access to my Linux box through ssh in a chrooted ssh jail. Connect my phone to the Linux box for the dev to play with :)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] razerblade17:
i think u should ask all the donator first...
[LG Optimus 4X HD] babymatteo:
Yah but when there's $$$ invvolved, any good DEV will get at it to try to get this thing to work. Just like with the Verizon GS3. I believe they were able to raise more than $3k!
[LG Optimus 4X HD] reas0n:
Yeah i know about it, i'll ask send a pm to all of donators tomorrow.

But we should find a good dev before, asap, please help me with it guys..

better developer = higher chance to unleash 4X and lower chance to waste donated money.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Dexter_nlb:
Firstly,

I like to mention that ANYONE mentioning DrewGaren as a possible dev, should be banned. He was offering services in another section to users, and he never really got committed and didnt do anything but show other peoples work.

Secondly,

I am pretty sure that the developer hacking the bootloader, will be granted a job at Nvidia with a nice NDA agreement, and before that, selling the solution to Asus Prime owners as well, because ASUS left prime owners without unlocking suddenly after too many seemed to used the online unlock function of that device.

i do not believe that ASUS prime got any public bootloader out, so with the bootloader extracted,

you might find help with Skrilax_CZ he did re-engineer the source bootloader of the old tegra2 devices and made several changes to its binary from a resource code of the bootloader which you have now. re-sourcing the tegra3 bootloader binary might indicate how you can unlock or which backdoor(it is found in code) will open the device.

I have given my device away to serve a better purpose for now, so i cannot help much here. but i will listen in when possible.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] muzamal:
I don't think that we should give all the money immediately to a developer.

Give him half of the money so that he knows that we really mean it.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] reas0n:
Or just a cash for device
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Dexter_nlb:

Describe how you booted CM in a locked bootloader. (Use hard terms I will understand :p) BTW im not saying that you didnt do it, just want to learn :)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] kholk:
I don't want to be rude or tedious... but I'm sure you can understand that this is not a good moment for asking this as we're still working on it... :P
[LG Optimus 4X HD] razerblade17:
great work kholk..btw, this cm10.1 rom will has bug same as custonexus?? i dont mean custonexus is not a good rom, i use it since it first release..many thanks to u and dexter!! :D

aaaaaaa i love your work kholk !!

shut them all who judge you.with this work LOL
[LG Optimus 4X HD] friartuckme:
good work kholk, all anyone needs to do is see all the previous work you have done to know that you know what your talking about,
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Dexter_nlb:
kholk has NOT hacked any bootloader, he has been introduced by me to LG security fixes and on how to get around the security, i have found on our o4x. And he got pretty far now by latest version as it boots and we could do some things. Facts are radio is not working as expected, and it has nothing to do with kernel yet, since my cm10 is kind of living proof it does work fine without kernel change in cm10. but maybe cm10.1 is a bootloader unlock requirement to fix kernel

4.2.1 seems to introduce new handling and that makes it for now impossible to use 421 drivers. and with lg's own drivers calls are actually possible but crash instantly when connecting, reason unknown. im sure kholk will succeed let him make his changes and be patient!

so please stop the bootloader BS and realise this is all done without hacking bootloader. but due to tricks and workarounds with LG's security and drm handling and rest is now up to kholk to make the compiled working cm10.1 :)

[LG Optimus 4X HD] kholk:
Well, got some problems on CM10.1-EPRJ. Phone calls are making rild to crash after some seconds or even less, leaving the phone with no radio at all.

After trying lots of hacks here and there I concluded it's better to go through another way, so, I'm asking to you all.

I need /system/lib/lge-rild.so from original LG ROMs different from v10H. That means I'm looking for a collection of RILs from all the LG firmwares out there.

Thanks for the eventually uploaded files.

Well, I've ended up with reverse engineering the LG RIL library.........

....and I've also found the cause of the crashes.

Looks really time promising.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] friartuckme:
great work,and also excellent idea with some team work between yourself and dexter as your both good at what you do and both seem to be able to swiftly find the causes of any problems

best of luck

Wow!

Very promising, you and dexter are great devs! Thank you both for your great effort!
[LG Optimus 4X HD] kholk:
I'm euphoric, so I'll try to keep myself calm to write this.

I've reverse engineered the LG proprietary RIL, fixed the bad code and now it is working: no more crashes during calls and the phone is useable!

Kholk..maybe this is just a small request...can u include file manager in this new rom, cm file manager maybe looking good for CM rom :D

It's obviously already included, as it is built from source and not simply a port.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] razerblade17:

[LG Optimus 4X HD] vrmanzacky:
Re: [UNLOCK SOON!] Bootloader unlock bounty

waaaw thats great,,

i just sit down and watch this thread every minutes and pray for your work kholk , until all feature work fine and until you release CM 10.1 for O4X
[LG Optimus 4X HD] kholk:
FM Radio is not supported at all in the CyanogenMod project and it isn't supported in the EternityProject CM10.1 Mod.

However, the CM Team says that there's an app on Play Store that will make you able to use FM Radio without any problem.

If you find that app, it should work. In case it won't, I'll fix whatever has to be fixed.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] razerblade17:
thanks for ur reply...waiting for this rom to be release~
[LG Optimus 4X HD] kholk:
I'm undecided if to release a ROM Preview tomorrow or if to implement the EternityProject performance enhancements and directly release a nearly-final version.

By the way, I'm almost sure the reply from almost all of you will be "release the preview"... so, I'm not asking to you :P :P

Re: [UNLOCK SOON!] Bootloader unlock bounty

Great work :)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] o4i:
Last three pages made me very happy!

@kholk

So from what I can understand, at the beginning the plan was to write some kind of "wrapper?" to stop RIL to receive bad request. Eventually thou You found the cause of rild crashes and managed to fix them, so the workaround is no longer needed?

Second question if You don't mind. As for today do you see any chance of booting other then stock kernel ex. 3.x or compiled from source LGe one?

I'm just curious, that's all. :)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] razerblade17:
hahaha...EP tweak will work good without any custom kernel from EP??
[LG Optimus 4X HD] kholk:
@razerblade17

Obviously, with the EternityProject Kernel 3.4.0 for COMBO/HTC One X + LG Optimus 4X we'll gain LOTS of performance......

@o4i

I've had to write some code for a RIL addition in the Android framework.

About the rest of the RIL story, I've had to disassemble lge-ril.so and fix some code, because LG developers are totally pigs and they're unable to develop something decent.

Both new code in framework and some reverse engineering was required to make RIL to work on JellyBean 4.2, also because the telephony framework on 4.2 has somehow changed, "detaching" the telephony classes from the big framework package and therefore making some old things totally incompatible with the new framework.

Apart the incompatibility, there's more: LG's code IN the Android Framework was something like ~10.000 lines of code and you can imagine the amount of iterations required to execute it.

My code is just ... 40 lines and IMHO working a lot better than their one.

About the kernel, I was thinking to that right now.

I'll start porting the Optimus 4X HD board files on my EternityProject Kernel 3.4.0 after reaching the maximum reliability and performance on the ROM.

The work will obviously be done while waiting for the bootloader to get unlocked by LG and I won't be able to test anything prior the unlock, so, even after getting the new BL, we're going to wait at least some days prior seeing my 3.4.0 kernel on the Optimus 4X.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] razerblade17:
hahaha..few word from me
[LG Optimus 4X HD] kholk:
@razerblade17

LMAO!

@Everyone else

I forgot to say something.

Once installed CM10.1-EPRJ, you will have to remember that the actual bootstrap recovery by Dexter_nlb won't work anymore.

There's some strange badness that makes that recovery to freeze the device... so you'll be forced to use the stock recovery (it's okay if you just want to make a factory reset, don't worry, tested it) until he/we release/s a new bootstrap recovery, compatible with Jellybean 4.2.

Not telling this for seeing comments like "WOW!" etc, but I've had to develop everything without any custom recovery. I've had to flash a KDZ once every 30 minutes... so, you can imagine how much time have I lost just reflashing back.

Not your problem though, as when I'll release the package it'll be fully working and stable. Just, if you want to flash another ROM then, you'll have to KDZ back to stock, root and install recovery.... obviously, again, until a new recovery comes out.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Marcb:
Wouldn't you rather wait for JB and 4.1.2 LG kernel sources? Wouldn't that make your job easier?

thanks man!
[LG Optimus 4X HD] razerblade17:
no big deal man,,,thank for ur hard work..u two rock (dexter & kholk)!!!
[LG Optimus 4X HD] o4i:
It has to bee some kind of joke, but it's not even funny... Seriously it has to be something more there, some diagnostic code, or something needed by some hidden service tool - I don't know... Its sound weird.

OK so no custom kernel without unlocked BL, It's no that I'm in a hurry, I just don't fully trust LG, that they will do what someone promised to someone else in some private mail...
[LG Optimus 4X HD] kholk:
@Marcb

Just to see some new crappy proprietary ****? Nah thanks.

By the way, I've already done all that work I said, so, no problem at all ;)

@o4i

There are ~900 lines of code for a diagnostic menu, everything else is about bloating the RIL.

About the bootloader, they're the only ones who can unlock it: I've really examined the whole thing and the security is well set, noone can hack it and I'm so sure of what I say that I would bet my d$%k on that.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Marcb:
I really can't wait for a CM10.1 to unleash all the power of this phone...

I feel like LG can assemble a really awesome phone with great hardware then ****s it up with their software...
[LG Optimus 4X HD] razerblade17:
since we can see from some website, the JB for LG 4X already be tested,,and JB for developer version already release as a beta,,Last year i use LG 2X,,and i sell it because i think LG is a good lie...and off course LG is a good lie,,because it not release ICS on the time as they promise..but now, ICS for LG 2X already be release..the main problem now is time!! :cowboy:
[LG Optimus 4X HD] o4i:
The ironic thing is that They paid a lot of attention to BL security, and not for the rest of the software.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] kholk:
@o4i

There's not really much to do with the rest of the software's security. They made "the rest" really painful too. You can't imagine how much tricks are needed for joking the system security... and particularly the BP certificate exchange.

@Everyone else

I was totally forgetting about that camera problem. In reality, I totally forgot about the camera generally.

Anyway, I've just implemented a wrapper for the camera and now it's working, too.

....and it's bed time for me. :°)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] razerblade17:
kholk..cm10.1 will be available less than 24 hour or more?? im waiting~~

[LG Optimus 4X HD] The_0ne:
Simple question.

Will the Source code of CM10.1 for LG 4X be accessible? So other developers (beside kholk and Dexter_nlb) can see the code and maybe contribute some fixes too?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Dexter_nlb:
i believe kholk said o4x release will be presented for approval as official supported CM10.1 release. so that means it will be publically accessable.

otherwise, then i do not think he will :(
[LG Optimus 4X HD] kholk:
Thumbs up! :D

There's a little improvement.

My dear, LG's bloaty piggy software is so bloaty and piggy that they're not using the highest quality when saving the RAW capture to JPEG format... it's like HTC and I've already dealt with that ridiculous thing on the One X.

My camera layer won't compress the image at all. That results in larger files, but highest quality achievable with our sensor. ;)

Btw, I need you on GTalk 10 minutes, I've had to modify your 2ndinit package for solving major problems with JB4.2 and now I'm experiencing a lil' problem that you should surely know how to solve in less than 30 seconds, since the package is yours :)

And about the source, part of it will be publicly accessible.

My plan of making it into the official CyanogenMod repositories will let the publicly accessible source to go in there. Then, the EternityProject OS enhancements are strictly closedsource.

The publicly accessible source will make developers to be able to build their normal CyanogenMod or AOSP ROM from source, but please, remember that the EternityProject modifications are property of the EternityProject Team and we chose to not publish those.
