ummmm coz mayby this is disabling sercuriy somehow,funny how directly before this i got error in little red writing and directly after i get unlock, so instead of taking the piss why dont u try doing something that might help

infact why have u even got this phone? wouldnt an iphone be more suited to your personality

---------- Post added 11th April 2013 at 12:09 AM ---------- Previous post was 10th April 2013 at 11:50 PM ----------

i didnt say the other ones were to do with this, i only said they may also help coz when i reflashed my phone they also unlocked it

all want to do is help everyone get it done, coz i believe the more people that get it unlocked then the quicker development will be,,

fairplay i know im not as bright as everyone else on here but the comments have been a bit harsh and most of them have dismissed this out of hand and havent even attempted it,,, sometimes you need to put what you know to one side and just try it out...

there must be some reason LG themselves put those files there,

surley i have proved with my last 2 photos that despite being an idiot i have unlocked 23400
[LG Optimus 4X HD] @non4:
Hey! I was the one giving you the benefit of the doubt! I just thought it was funny! Look at my updated post mate, I would like to know your steps, thanks for the screenshots. I know you have been given some abuse here but now you've proved everyone wrong, if you have a method I'm all ears. Please don't be aggressive, I didn't mean it in an "I don't believe you way" more a "thats strange, wonder how that worked" way. And iphone sucks :p

i know they dont make sense but i tryed eveything that makes sense and resorted to trying things that dont make sense,

i will make a step by step guide of what i did but u will have to give me a liitle time to get it right , i really want this to work for u guys,

its so fustrating having people call me a liar.

i will post step by step shortly but please bear in mind that im only writing down what I done to get unlock..

and yeh it is PAC. i love this rom ever since having it on my old xperia play

i really want it on this phone

and sorry about iphone comment, it was a bit low
[LG Optimus 4X HD] @non4:
Take your time and get it right, you may have just been lucky, but hopefully you're onto something. Main thing is you proved you got unlock with the screenshots back there, enjoy it. I had pacman on my desire s, it was cool but slow. Custonexus is very similar, so hopefully dexter gets that up and running properly when we get source code. Eagerly awaiting your guide :D

how i unlocked 23400

first of all i started from 10h kdz(gbr) i updated to official 20a gemany version(i dont think this is relavent as all the same)(but not leaked version coz it has been made clear this wont work for us) through LG MOBILE SUPPORT TOOL, i changed the language to germany and used my already downloaded 20a with the HACK tool...I then rooted and rebooted and plugged it into wall charger for 2 hours and didnt touch it, i then made sure that wifi was off so it connected to a real network(i assumed they mean my mobile network) i then plugged phone into pc and using this files and drivers---- http://www12.zippyshare.com/v/5786485/file.html , and http://www12.zippyshare.com/v/90436494/file.html i then ran each step (bat files) i thought this was weird at the time but i was getting desperate after so many errors before and was prepared to use every bit of what lg posted , but step 5 didnt seem to work so i opened new CMD from the same place, and typed in adb reboot oem-unlock suddenly my phone booted into a screen i never seen happen yet, it said something about first time unlock will wipe your device and then i flashed recovery. now the funny thing is when i want to try out another recovery, even though i have unlock, i cant just use adb reboot bootloader to start to flash a new recovery, i have to type adb reboot oem-unlock everytime first(it doesnt wipe anything, that was just the first time) even just typing fastboot oem unlock still wont work, it has to be adb reboot oem-unlock , i can flash anything i want then, that last bit seems strange to me but i suppose every device is different and im going not going to complain about,

I really wish i could have done this guide better than this but i have allways been useless with words
[LG Optimus 4X HD] @non4:
Its a bit messy, agreed but if it does indeed work we can make a proper sticky of it. One thing I need to clarify, when phone said it would wipe did it? And can I have one more screenshot, proving you can boot into custom recovery? I say this because there were some users that had some sort of "emulated" unlock and I'm hoping you haven't just ended up with that. Cheers for this guide, I will try this as soon as I can. As skydevs root bat files were meant to be run on ICS before upgrade who knows what they do on JB, perhaps some unintended security bypass

234-000 is unlockable LG says...

I sent an email to LG regarding the current boot loader lock status of 234-000

They confirmed that it is unlocked and sent me the same method that is in post #1.

I then sent them an email back asking specifically what adb version I need, and asked about anything that could possibly lead up to the LGE Security Error. I'm just awaiting a reply. It seems to me their just sending everyone the same email. I personally would say every unbranded firmware is unlockable. We just need a working method.

Fingers crossed, I'll keep you all updated on this thread or another with a tutorial video if it works...:good::fingers-crossed:
[LG Optimus 4X HD] thediksta:
its a real shame its not working for some but i would like to add that my gut feeling about it all is having 100% battery not anything less, and the phone being connected to a pay as u go network with credit and good reception, im only basing that idea on lg saying connect to real network, and i did this straight after upgraded to 20a, i didnt even sign in, it was as fresh out the oven as they come, and also the phone was charging on the wall charger untill it reached 100% so it took a bit more than 2 hours, more like 2 hours 20 mins, i cant really think of anything else.

i just wanted to ask that beside emails to people, is there any place that lg might announce this sort of thing on the web?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] verlol:
I just didnt understand why it could unlock my device with the adb version from android systemtools_r21 and not with adb tools_r20. So I digged a bit deeper. What i found out is, that it has to be something with the "ro.secure" setting in the build.prop as suggested earlier. If you compare the adb versions, you see that in the new version there is a new Compile Flag "ALLOW_ADB_ROOT".

https://android.googlesource.com/platform/system/core/+/tools_r21/adb/adb.c (line 899).

Just compare it with the older version:

https://android.googlesource.com/platform/system/core/+/tools_r20/adb/adb.c (line 869).

When compiling tools_r21 this flag is set 1: as i assume adb was compiled with options "full" and "eng", allowing the adbd deamon on the device running as root (In fact not really a change in behaviour of code compared to r_20). So the reason the LGE security error is thrown, could be adbd on the device is not running as root.

So you could try to restart adbd on the device as root with

"adb root"

after you rooted the device: this sets ro.debuggable=1and service.adb.root=1resulting in not dropping priviliges and successfully reboot. (Its sets the CAP_SYS_BOOT capability, allowing a process to reboot the device, if its not set, rebooting is not allowed resulting in security error)

I used the root method from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1818502. There are also apps who promise to run adbd as root, just google it.

So before you run "adb reboot oem-unlock", root your device and make sure you use the latest adb.exe and adbd on phone is running as root.

Hope this helps anyone.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] @non4:
So what you're saying is unlock for 234-000 might be as simple as typing "adb root" before "adb reboot oem-unlock"?

[LG Optimus 4X HD] skryptus:
Well, to be accurate, we still don't know what makes a difference or not when the usual method (or methods) doesn't work. Different regions' devices seem to react differently to the same update, so we don't know if those that currently are unlockable AND have no official update will become unlockable when their respective updates are released.

It's likely they won't, as the same has happened with Germany and other countries where even the sim-free devices aren't having the BL unlocked. But we don't know what changes they'll make in the firmwares that haven't yet been released...

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ObscureDreamer:
Hi Everyone!

I have an Xperia Arc that I got through Rogers. It had been running Gingerbread 2.3.4 and the ICS update didn't arrive until a year after I got my phone. I read that it wasn't really recommended to do the ICS upgrade even though it had become available (according to Sony). I had been waiting for SO long to check it out that I took my chances on the 50/50 good bad reviews on it and went ahead with the ICS update when Sony/Rogers released it.

BIG MISTAKE.

At first I didn't think it was that bad - but now after having it for a few months- I HATE IT. My phone runs like S***. It's slow laggy.

I had been wanting to root my phone for a long time (I want to get rid of all the bloatware software and be able to use firewalls and tweak CPU speed).

I was all ready to root and use a custom ICS ROM - but I thought about it and I would rather have GIngerbread back on my phone. My phone was awesome when it had Gingerbread and all I ever want to do now is smash my phone - it just can't run ICS properly.

So here is what I want to do:

1. Root phone - I have already downloaded FLASHTOOL, and the DOOMLORD V4 Rooting tool.

2. Flash phone and get RID OF ICS

3. Install a custom ROM

I just need a bit of help.

I need clarification regarding the ADB Drivers.... I have read in numerous places that by just having the up to date Sony PC Companion that you will have the ADB Drivers needed - and I already have the most up to date Sony PC Companion.

I also need some tips regarding ROMS and KERNELS. I understand they are different and they have to be compatible but when I was originally getting all my files for ICS all I found was a kind of 'all in one' - maybe I was confused - and this is why I need some clarification. Do I need to have a separate ROM and KERNEL otherwise then what do I do?

THANKS!!!! rEBECCA

Click the first link in my sig, read it, then come back and ask about anything you're still unsure about.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ObscureDreamer:
Thank you for your quick reply. I had actually already read it. I DID read it again though... I picked up a bit more knowledge from the 2nd read but it still didn't clear up a few things.

I'm still not clear on the ADB drivers, I saw all the tutorials about ADB for noobs etc but I'm reading on a LOT of places that just having Sony PC Companion installed and up to date will have the ADB drivers...

I should also let everyone one know that my phone is a ROGERS phone, so my bootloader is LOCKED. I have figured out that there are some ROMS that will work on a LOCKED (carrier (rogers) bootloader.

I currently have Android 4.0.4 (I did the update when it came avail to me and I regret it - i really need gingerbread back) I would also like a rom that doesn't have all the Rogers 'bloatware".

All I want to do is undo the stupid ICS update I did and get rid of that HORRID Rogers bloatware!

Through all my reading over the last while I've learned of 'omnius' - I guess it will unlock my bootloader, root, flash and do lots for my phone. Anyone else recommend this for my situation?

Lol if you wanna go full black you can try aosp roms + themes :P then add inverted black apps and done, you could try and find some gapps from JB whit black themes and pull them from the zip.

Anyway even if you theme apps like call / ppl there not much to gain , not like you're spending hours looking @ dialer or ppl :P the apps i added are the most common apps. I don't see the point for theming everything :P

Also if you want black settings @ sense theres somewhere a flashable theme for HoX , not sure would it work for One S.

Having an issue with the ViperXL 3.2.6 rom from Venom.

Quite frequently I receive a call, and before the call can connect and show ringing the phone reboots. The phone will light up and immediately go to the ViperXL logo.

I have flashed 3.2.6 twice, once via updates OTA and the second time a clean flash and wiping the phone. So this determines its a ROM specific problem and not my device as it worked fine with 3.2.5.

Anyone have any suggestions?

It depends what state your phone is in now. Is it SuperCID? If so, and you're S-ON the RUU will brick your phone. The safest way to RUU is with S-OFF. Are you planning on selling the phone? If so, I would just leave it S-OFF and bootloader unlocked and just run the RUU. This way, the phone is stock but if the next person wants to root it they can.
