well, that's weird. do you have another device plugged-in in your usb while you use adb? or maybe you can try to connect to another usb port.

[LG Optimus 4X HD] yellow rabbit:
it would be best if you got the adb toolkit yourself and check if there is no trojan, try a new computer if that doesn't work, you would also need to install the drivers to the other computer you are using to root

With all due respect - the link you provided pushes a piece of adware... Do you have a clean location, or can you attach a zip to the thread? (and the original link from page 1 resolves to a page in Arabic, so I have no idea)

Thank you
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Cheetah1024:
Ok, wait... Do you REALLY think, that one could be sooo stupid, to make something endlessly great, something, nobody has done before, and then, instead of releasing it for download, give a virus or something for download!? I checked the link twice, but it's no adware...

The 'link from page 1 resolves to a page in Arabic', because the page he uploaded it is arabic, but the file isn't up anymore...

But if u still think, that the folder is adware, u can have this folder I provide and u can download it and check it a hundred times for adware if you want to...(although u won't find any aware or anything...)

Here you are!:thumbup::thumbup:

Cheetah1024, believe me, I did not mean any disrespect to anyone. But every time I would try to download the file I would end up with one of the three scenarios (see the screenshots attached): (1) regular download would prompt me to login or register a new user account (?!), (2) premium download would start without any prompts but upon download completion my local AVG would warn me about the adware in the download, and (3) if I selected to use so-called download manager it would turn out to be the that sadly known iLivid thing, so I would have to cancel.

And thank you very much for attaching a dropbox link, worked like a charm - Optimus 4X, here I go ;)

And if you do get spam how do you think your email address became known to spammers?

Would you convince yourself that a file sharing site that does try to install adware (we agreed on that or did we not?) would not share your email address with its "affiliates"?

On a positive note - thanks to the developer and thanks to you - I have my Optimus 4X rooted, boot loader unlocked, and latest CWM installed.

Downloading CM 10.1 RC2 as we speak, will attempt installation immediately upon completion.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] mazuka:
Installed without issues, CM 10.1 RC2 is fast and stable, looks great too... but I had to get back to stock - apparently CM (or at least this specific build) cannot read contacts from SIM, nor it can save to SIM (although import/export options are there).

Success!

I successfully rooted my LG P880 4X HD with the following software version and process. Please bear with me this is my first post on xda.

Software Version:

Android Version: 4.1.2

Baseband version: L6260_MODEM_SIC_02.1233.00

Kernel version: 3.1.10

Build Version: JZ054K

Hong Kong Software Version: P88020b-HKG-XXX

Process:

1. Downloaded and extracted "j794_root.rar" from this thread.

2. Turned off my phone and waited five seconds.

3. Held down the power button and volume down button simultaneously to enter "Android system recovery".

4. Once in "Android system recovery" I connected my phone to my pc with a mirco usb cable.

5. Then I scrolled to the option "apply update from ADB" with my volume rocker and selected it by pushing the power button momentarily.

6. A prompt came up saying, 'Now send the package you want to apply to the device with "adb sideload <filename>"'.

7. I then ran the file "root.bat" in the "J794_root" folder on my pc and the phone began the root process.

8. Once it said "Install from ADB complete." I selected "reboot system now" and my phone started up fine.

9. I checked my app drawer and now I have the superuser app installed.

There are a couple of photos attached to this post. One shows my software information and the other is a picture of the "Android system recovery" post rooting. You can see the different steps that took place during the root in that photo.

This works on linux too!!!!

restart the phone volume down + power on

chose the update from adb

connect the cable

download the zip in first message and get superuser.zip

adb kill-server

sudo adb start-server

adb sideload superuser.zip

(sideload is a new function in 4.1 o 4.2 , if your sdk is not updated, go in ~/android-sdk-linux_x86/tools and run ./android )

Yes, it will root your phone. For bootloader unlock have a look at the official method (linked in general section), if that doesn't work use the fuse-blower in the same thread or the unlock-relock tool (somewhere around here, just use the search function).

Glad it helped! Enjoy. I actually had to reference this again as well because after flashing the euro open firmware I lost root. :highfive:

Also I noticed that SuperSU works better than Superuser on my device. SuperSU seems to grant apps access faster. So, you might try flashing SuperSU over Superuser in cwm recovery and give it a try.

No "Install from ADB"!

When i go into recovery mode (I'm using v10 because my phone refuses to upgrade) there is no "install from adb" option. I literally don't have it. Please, help me out.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] EvilGav:
As Above

Whilst not technically illiterate, this is my first attempt at rooting an Android so that I can install CyanogenMod.

I've quite happily unlocked the bootloader, easy as pie given LG have made it super easy.

I have ADB running and when starting the phone normally and connecting via USB, I can see it in Windows and ADB lists it using adb devices.

However, when I switch into recovery mode and hook up the USB, the phone is still listed in the Device Manager, but ADB no longer lists it under devices.

I've tried adding the device IDs into the android_winusb.inf file, which I read elsewhere may help, but all this seems to have done is list the phone under ADB Interface in Device Manager. Interestingly, when connecting through Recovery the phone is still listed as LG Phone (or something similar).

Can anyone shed any light? Have I missed a step between unlocking the bootloader and trying to get root?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Cp6uja1988:
Thank you very much. I did it the manual way with CMD but it worked.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] EvilGav:
Ok, update.

I had the latest driver installed, but on the off-chance something might be off I uninstalled and re-installed it, which seems to have done the trick.

Not sure why this would make a difference, but for anyone who is having issues, give that a try.

apply update from cache

[LG Optimus 4X HD] sPEADy:
As far I know there is no Jelly Bean update available from LG for your country. There is a lot of risk involved in doing so, that's why I recommend you not to do so because I have never read across the forum that someone tried doing the kdz update Canada and did it with sucess. Never change your running system.

Access is denied...

My first 4x HD was a breeze to root and unlock the BL.

Just got another, new, Korean-made. Went from V10f to V20a. At V10f, root was no problem. Lost root when I updated to V20a. No root procedure works. Always get immediate shutdown with "access is denied"

Updated to V20b, same thing. Down to V20a again, everything force-closes. Still access denied. Nothing can root it now and can't open IS11LG_SystemBackupTest.signed.apk, force closes no matter what. Weird. All worked in V10f.

Anyone else have this issue?
