I just wanted to point out, that adb in recovery has been discovered before
[LG Optimus 4X HD] RuedasLocas:

[LG Optimus 4X HD] mikkis2k:
So if this is done.. the bootloader gets unlocked.. does this mean we can get cm 10.1, miui etc? :cool:

How bout using HDMI (MHL) and USB Host Mode simultaneously ? Would an unlocked bootloader help to solve this issue or is this hardware related ?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] m0b:
Yes. USB host needs custom kernel. And you need unlocked bootloader to flash custom kernel.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Terriertheone:
Guys please relax, the bootloader isn't unlooked at the moment so we have just to wait and if he is unlocked we can talk about stuff like cm10, miui, usb otg and other things....
[LG Optimus 4X HD] m0b:
+1 waiting, hoping!
[LG Optimus 4X HD] stigb1974:
Have to agree on on this one!

Not that I lack faith in Kholk, just want everybody to remember that this can still take some time to be done, if at all possible.

Kholk is giving it his best shot, let's not pressure him any more by acting like he has promised anything beyond that.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] mikkis2k:
Sounds good, now we wait :)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Mguttsche:
Why we need an unlocked bootloader, could we Not update our Phone with a locked bootloader?

Sorry about my Bad english
[LG Optimus 4X HD] ppn2604:
Well that's not what I mean. I was asking, if an unlocked bootloader would help to use the HDMI via MHL adapter

and

USB Host Mode at the same time ?

As you know, the Optimus 4X has only one micro usb port.

[LG Optimus 4X HD] ppn2604:
Ask the people who developed the Galaxy S3. ;)

As I know, it is possible with this device but I haven't read anything about doing the same with the Optimus 4X which brings me to the question if this is software related and can or might be fixed with an unlocked bootloader.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] SirHenryX:
Got my Optimus 4X HD yesterday.

Due to the promising discussion here :good:, I decided not to send it back immediately after Google made Nexus 4 available in Germany again.

Hopefully this wasn't a mistake :D

How high would you guys rate the chances in percent, to get an unlocked bootloader in the next couple of months?

The bootloader will never get cracked and or unlocked. Look at the Milestone phone. That thing has never been cracked.

Anyhow I sold my O4X and ordered the Nexus 4. I am done with this crap Tegra3 phone.

just shut up and get your nexus 4, kholk will unlock this bootloader, i hate people who not satisfied with this phone and make spam

look HTC X ONE that tegra 3 phone,and get unlock bootloader

Kholk is trying, if he fails.. so what? the phone is great! JB update will maybe get out before 2013 or q1 2013.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] muellersmattes:
I can understand you, and I'm also thinking about buying a N4 instead. Tegra just sucks in development, because nvidia doesn't give a **** about it. Anyway, people are trying. And the phone isn't that bad. So now that everyone has insulted each other, stop it and let's get back to the topic.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] vonski:
It's not true. Bootloader is not broken. You can unlock it only via HTC-dev site which belongs to HTC. There is no any dev who broke bootloader in this phone...

Well on a good note...my NEXUS 4 finally came in!!! I'm still keeping my Optimus 4X. Why sell your O4X when you can get a Nexus 4 for so cheap! And it only took 6 days to arrive when they said it would take 2-3 weeks.

Sir,

As Per Current Updates, SmartPhone P880 4X have V10e Software version available Which is 4.0 android version Update only

& For confirmation of its Upgradation possibilities on JB v4.1 Or v4.2 , You have to await further time being for its Clearifications.

Thankyou.

[LG Optimus 4X HD] nedooo:
Can you make good display comparison on full brightnes please. Thanks.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] babymatteo:
Done that. Comparing the two in low light situations, the Nexus 4 is so bright that makes the colors look washed out. On the other hand, the O4X made the colors pop out more, and looked much more vibrant. But out in the sun, the Nexus 4 wins hands down. The IPS+ display is really a big help outdoors. I watched my Avatar MVK Bluray file on both phones, the O4X seemed to have a much more warmer and vibrant color reproduction. But setting the Nexus 4 to about 70% brightness, the two phones looked identical.

My everyday phone will still be the O4X, and just keep the Nexus 4 indoors until Spigen releases their cases for the N4. But, idk what it is about the O4X...even with the N4's sexy back cover, the O4X still looks like a much better built phone. But the N4 is definitely miles way better than the GNexus.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] ozeer:
Congratulations for getting nexus 4 :) .. I hope to be happy with it

Best regards,
[LG Optimus 4X HD] SirHenryX:
Sorry for OT, just a quick note.

I'm really surprised that your Nexus 4 is brighter than O4X - chip.de measured:

Nexus 4: 380 Cd/m²

O4X: 606 Cd/m²
[LG Optimus 4X HD] nedooo:
I was thinking same looking at the GSM Arena review they measured O4X 750Cd/m² and when Mateo said N4 is brighter I could go for it, but being almost half brightness it´s a no go for me.:eek:
[LG Optimus 4X HD] ilan_75:
Wrong topic guys :)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] babymatteo:
Maybe i need to get my eyes checked then...cos it does seem to be brighter. Especially when watching my bluray Avatar mkv file.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] ilan_75:
Guys, if you want tout know who got the biggest one, open a new thread and leave this topic for the unlock bootloader subject.

Thank's a lot.:cool:

And sorry for my english
[LG Optimus 4X HD] vrmanzacky:
Thats right, how bout discuss what your plan if this phone succsesfully unlock ? :cool:
[LG Optimus 4X HD] nedooo:
Well, I´ll wait for some great custom kernel, but I think LG will give us JB before that LOL
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Gildegan:
I have a question about that.

If we get the downloader unlocked in 4.0.3, and LG brings JB, it may require to unlock that version?

I follow up this thread since week ago but not that is discouraging but i don't really see proper effort look over here.

I am not a T3 devs but it's possible to be bring KEXEC (Need alot of work)

Since O4XHD is having boot.img of ics.

It's possible port other rom with stock kernel with bl locked (Maybe Like X8)

Just some idea's because i saw this PowerHouse Box having not even a custom rom even having CWM & Root :'(
[LG Optimus 4X HD] RuedasLocas:
Finally a comment that I agree with :rolleyes:
[LG Optimus 4X HD] IdeosDev:
If anyone want to have a custom rom for O4X,well i can help but if there's lot of user or else i won't lay hand to help

Just want to know few thing

-Root = Already Possible :)

-CWM = Can it restore /flash zips? + Can provide me a simple explaination how it's works

-Driver = Not sure what wifi chipset and some other chipset name but hope i can find out

-Any tester ? Cause i don't own O4X

--cheers--
[LG Optimus 4X HD] XperiaPlayer:
Root = Yep

CWM = Yes it can flash zips, its ran via 2nd init using a program to boot into it. You can flash and restore zips but there has to be an android system running to launch it.

Driver =

1.5 GHz NVIDIA Tegra 3 T30 Quad-Core processor with additional 500 MHz processor

NVIDIA Tegra 3 ULP GeForce 2

Sony IMX119 1.3MP, HD 720p Camera

I couldnt find any other information on wifi chipset but im sure its just a case of routing round the system folder with ADB

Testers, yeh i could test anything youve worked on.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] reas0n:
Hi :D well for now kholk is working with 4x, he've already got the device. Maybe u should contact him and make a team, it's a good idea imo. And for sure u will find some tester, for example me :D

[OT] Sheeeeit, 53K enters to this topic xD
[LG Optimus 4X HD] IdeosDev:
Alright.

Another question.

if software will there any app to restore to stock?

Can anyone give me the boot.img for this device?

Add me and i will try something else.

Can't do much with my Netbook :'(
[LG Optimus 4X HD] d1dd1:

you can reflash the firmware in recovery mode with the kdz file and lg software update tool.

So no fastboot option and with locked bl.

O4X can't flash boot.img

If can't flash boot.img mean will stay only on CM9/ICS

Due to traces.init is required

[LG Optimus 4X HD] Dexter_nlb:
o4x already got 2nd init running and can boot with a different init and load cm10 if needed, the kernel is NOT the problem, the bootloader is NOT a problem.

but people tend to believe this bootloader is scaring developers away, but its the whole LG policy and restrictions around it, that simply keeps developers away and in general LG was just a second hand brand from GoldStar, so no one believes they can bring any good although i personally found it acceptable but not more.

so with 2nd init people have seen cm10 and OneX port running, all that was needed was someone that working on the radio part since it is pretty well encapulated with different command set that onex radio and required changes in ril driver to support it.

then o4x got several drm checks at bootup which needs workaround, if you do not do it, it will crash the mobile in a deadlock.

anyways unlocking bootloader is not the problem, the support because of LG is. just look at the activity in this section, its close to being put in "older legacy devices" already with not many people visiting.

but sure unlocking gives options for native Clockworkmod to be opened and to install a proper boot with boot.img changes as normal. but it is not why no development exists on this device. developer are smart enough to support and utilize the 2ndinit

Motorola Milestone was one good example of a locked bootloader, with many releases even if 2nd-init was needed.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] muellersmattes:
I think it's more or less a combination of all these. LGs bad reputation plus a locked bootloader, and on top of that the availibility - the device was out in June in Germany and in Brazil in November. And on certain markets it's not even availible. Looking at the people who write here, all devices seem to be in Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, Italy, Brazil and Hong Kong. And if I was to decide now, i'd rather buy a Nexus 4 which costs the same.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Gildegan:
And sadly, there's to many developers to work on Roms.

[LG Optimus 4X HD] Dexter_nlb:
Is it not the first time on XDA o4x section anyone bricks their o4x. even those with developer device got those installed with latest firmwares?

sounds strange. i crashed mine many times doing the cm10 and OneX port work, but could always recover with kdz tool. maybe i was just lucky :)

Maybe kholk did not know the kdz modem loader recover solution, se it was sent back on warranty, but strange, it is. And, I do not think o4x got any CM10 trial way to recover from semibricked phones, even if they got black screen at bootup.

How do you unlock using 2nd-init??

Maybe it´s a misterry for you, but the most stable custom roms are based on official (stock) roms, released by the manufacturer (Samsung, LG, HTC...).
