And than you must pull out the batteries. Just open 2 T5 screws on the bottom and open the back cover. Is very easy to remove the batteries. Disconnect the battery and than reconnect again.

Now you could enter download mode with the previous step.

How i can simply and safetly root this device?

And is any cwm for this?

And last question someone have link to original V10E european firmware?

Thansk for answer i need this
[General Questions and Answers] Pesach85:
You can try kingo root, it works on a lot of devices hopefully will work on VU too. There should be a cwm installable through 2nd init method.

For all these things do a research on forum or on Google and there will be more info.

Whats the best root option for the Virgin Mobile LG Optimus V? Model VM670? My boyfriend wants to use this phone as he recently lost his other one though hasn't been able too due to all the system apps installed by the carrier. I was given an answer for an app to use to uninstall system apps but not what the best root option would be. Please help me
[General Questions and Answers] Kurajmo:
Try KingoRoot/KingRoot.

Or flash custom recovery on this phone, and then flash su update.

You should have root and do unistall unwanted app.

Sorry for my English.

I don't speak too much in English.

Best option is flash custom recovery and sukces binary.

In my opinion.

But no all smartphone have a custom recovery like lg p895 etc.

Try kingo root,king root, vroot and more.

Is too much this chinese rooting apps to remember for me.

Try.

Maybe one work.

Warning better have a kdz updater and you current running Android on you lg.

If someting go wrong you may flash stock Android back.

Thats all

I tried your solution and after running KDZ following your guide, my phone stay the same. The only thing changed is loosing Root access (I ran Titanium Backup to know for sure) and no data, no settings have been changed :laugh: I noticed that KDZ Updater software seem not responding or running endlessly after my phone restarted. Is that normal? Flashing KDZ doesn't mean loosing any personal data at all?

If some developer is interested on support me for releasing some kernel for this phone please contact me i'll have this phone for one week and we could try to improve a bit at least the kernel and maybe, i guess build some custom rom.

LG Optimus 4x HD ClockWorkMod

Hey all,

first, i want to say, that the LG Optimus 4X HD has exactly the same hardware as our LG Optimus Vu aka P895. Only the Screen is not the same.

What i've tried:

i installed Clockworkmod Recovery for LG Optimus 4x HD on my P895 (Optimus VU).

You can boot in cwm :good:

but you can not do a backup because the \external sd-card is not the right path for LG optimus VU (because you havn't got a external sd in your Optimus Vu.

I tried to flash a LG Optimus 4x HD Rom, but LG Optimus Vu have no unlocked bootloader.

So i tried to unlock the bootloader with the unlock tool for the LG Optimus 4X HD but without success.

I hope some developers can do something useful for us.

If a developer need help for testing, pls notify me.

@ askinkoc

can you write how you did it with rom manager? i tried it already but no success beacause the locked bootloader.
[General Questions and Answers] askinkoc:
Here pals please check the photos. I used rom manager the free version. I flashed lg optimus vu as lg optimus 4x hd in the device list. Rom

manager does not have our phone in the list so the similar phone is lg optimus 4x hd. I installed some recoveries but they don´t remain permanent yet.

You can flash the recovery from recovery setup option. There you will not see your device. So push the last touch screen button on your phone and push show all devices from the list.

You will see Lg optimus 4x hd in the list so flash it as lg optimus 4x hd.

That´s all. If you get boot image error, you can always use kdz update program to resolve the problem. Use the touch screen buttons to navigate in the recovery menu. Don´t use the volume keys because they are very slow. or it does not detect it always.

Do you have a screeshot?
[General Questions and Answers] askinkoc:
There is an application called 2nd-init Recovery install it and flash it and try to reboot to recovery.

If it does not work, flash it with rom manager.

I flashed my phone as htc one x, asus prime tf201 and then as lg optimus 4x hd. (this is risky but it is worth to try)

Sometimes it gives boot image error and gets shut down. If you get this error you can always download the correct firmware from this page http://lg-phone-firmware.com/ and flash it with kdz-update program.

Show the firmware path to kdz-update program and, turnn off your phone. Press down volume key and connect the phone via usb then press launch software update.

It will install the firmware and restart automatically
[General Questions and Answers] wkobaint:
I'm using rom manager, on install or update recovery, what should I choose? Clockworkmod 2.x or 3.x?

Let say I choose clockworkmod 3.x and than I tab reboot into recovery, after reboorting, it wouldn't insert into recovery mode. The phone still go to normal homescreen. Do I have wrong step?

Or maybe before I choose reboot into recovery, I should install rom from sd card or fix permissions?

It must be the original firmware. You can not flash yoir firmware with a different phone model. Even if you try it will not be installed.

I tried so much things but i always get the boot security error.

ROM-MANAGER is the best way to make the phone bzw. the CWM think it's a 4X HD. But if you try to flash a other ROM, --> boot security error

You have to flash original ROM from VU via LG Support Tool or Kdz-Flasher.

But no success with other ROMs because the LOCKED BOOTLOADER.:p
