[Q] Best Custom ROM / KDZ Updater still works?

Hello and if I postet this thread in a wrong way, do not be mad at me....
I have 2 Questions that I could not find a good answer (maybe I didn't searched enough ...)
1. WHAT IS THE BEST CUSTOM ROM for the OB?
In the last period, the nightly CM reached no 61.... does anyone installed it? how is it? I wanna know if there are other roms that are stable...or, if the 61 from CM is ok. I am using GPS, 3G connection, Bluetooth, WiFi constantly on my phone and I wanna install a ROM that is most stable (in special at these things...)
2. DOES THE KDZU STILL WORKING?
I found some posts, that says the KDZU is blocked somehow from the LG Guys... is it true? Does someone installed lately a ROM with KDZ ? It worked?
I now am on V20N ... how can I install a CM Rom? I have to downgrade to V10 versions? If yes, HOW? With KDZU?
In the last lines, i wanna thanks all of U guys, for the good work U R doing, sorry 4 my english and one more thing:
If I have the V20N version installed, when the official update will be available in my country (Romania - Orange) will the LG Update Suport notice me? and, will I be able to install it via LG Update?
Thanks and, sorry for the lenght of my post.

Less posting, more thinking would be nice. Serach smartflash optimus black, cyanogen discussion thread, v20 romania orange and all other things u need, put em in to search (it s on the top right, if you havent foind it yet) oh and r&d testtool could be interesting. And now start reading.

thanks for your quick reply. i managed to flash my V20e to V20b. but i cannot Wipe all data/factory reset and flash the super user. i put the unzipped file on the root of my SD but when i try to flash it, the file is no where to be found.

how to root optimus black 2.3.4 official ?

hello
i searched but i didn't find anything.
anybody can help ?

i have the same problem i update my phone with LGMobile Support Tool and now i cant root-it i try many metods super oneclic, Injecting CWM into any kdz update, Gingerbreak nothing works model version LG-P970 android 2.3.4 kernel 2.6.35 build number GRJ22 software version LG-P970-V20f can help please?

up

Injecting works when done right, you have to boot into recovery and flash superuser to get root.
Your next method is grab smartflash and the files provided and use that.
The answers are there, keep at it.

I used "Unlock Root" PC application to root my OB V20E... and it will install a CWM recovery automatically.
Make sure you have Android SDK installed and ADB drivers.
But if you have installed the LG Drivers for your phone it will work just fine.
Check on it here...

I followed this link but i used the v20E firmware for flashing and it went through with no problems. My friend's OB is now rooted with CWM installed.
I believe this is the only way to root successfully any new firmwares of LG. By Flashing... I guess I was just lucky in Unlock Root on my v20e.

It depend on the rom.. every version have different root strategie to be done

Yeah.. i think, look for the v20n rooted.. u can find it on this forum or google it : "rooted v20n" or something you will find an independent page with something V20n[patched].bin and another data (forgot it) and u flash them
Sent from my LG-P970 using xda premium

fls file , right ?

Or you guys have a look into my noob how to, cause there is a general way of rooting, although the unpacking is already being done automatically meanwhile by the extract program. So you only need to set up a virtual Ubuntu follow the instructions, flash it, install superuser and you have made your own custom rooted firmware.
Have fun

Flash a new rom

Okay im new and im looking around to find out how to flash a new rom. So i see the thing is i need
- rom manager
- flash clockworkmod recovery.
- press the button to install new rom
**( of course we are supposed to press the button to backup first. whatever i dont need backup if i have everything on dropbox and netqin sync and from there i can have everything i want at any other phone too. i dont care for settings , they are a matter of 10 minutes to download and setup the apps ).
So i try this thing.
1) I go root my phone and i get the first error. SystemBackupTest fails to run. yes i have done it properly according to the guide.
Ok whatever i think. maybe the guide is too old and jelly bean 4.1.2 20b has issues with that apk. i search around and i find the other way to root my phone. i download this file : http://www11.zippyshare.com/v/50635135/file.html, i go into recovery mode and i press root. success! im rooted.
2) since im new i test it out. i start installing whatever i find in google play and start tweaking things ) then i return it back to stock and do other tweaks. now i search for new rom. i read guides here about several rom. i now try it.
i install rom manager , i follow the guide and get error boot image signature​. ok i press vol down and power button and restart. i check around here a bit about this error. i found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2241754. so i see that i have to unlock the bootloader. so i find this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2190326. i follow the guide and i fail because i get a message that unlock is denied. searching around i find another thread that sais ROOT MANY ANDROID. oke im confused. i cant find a proper guide around. can we make it a little easier ? can we delete the oldest threads-roots- .. whatever and keep the new ? can we clean up or sort things up please ? the older members of course are pro to all this but the newer ones we dont understand anything. we need one week only to understand where we have to click next......
So for me and any other new guy later on, what do we have to do ? where is a working guide to root the lg optimus 4x v20b and if there is not , then where is a proper guide to unlock the bootloader ? thanks............

Also here ... it sais many many wierd things. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35812268
someone sais where is made from. wt ?? the root guide naver said this is actually for japan, or this is for germany or whatever. every search i do i get to read "new" things scattered around. sort things around. delete old useless threads that get nowhere or pin at start the new ones working on the new firmware. am i wrong ?

1) This is the "original development" section. Read the rules to find that your topic should NEVER be here. (How could you even post here? Is the 10-posts-limit disabled?)
2) Don't do anything unless you know what you're doing
3) Use search function (I see you did, but still a lot to learn you have)
4) Don't use Rom Manager
5) Use search function to find out why 1-4 apply.
6) Extra hint: There's an index on the 1st page of "general section".

that didnt help at all....... thanks for moving my thread here, maybe i got dizzy after so much reading and post it there but im still searching ........ Since 8 hours im searching , following guides and restoring ...
i have lg optimus 4x p880. os: 4.1.2 - 20b. can someone tell me at least one way to install a whatever rom ?
dont tell me follow the guide or things like that , im following them. just show me links what to do and be sure for those links that will work.

Ok, I'll help you. There's a thread called "unlock-relock tool". Use it once and you're unlocked. Then get TWRP from the TWRP thread. Install it via fastboot. Then download the rom you like, boot to recovery and flash it. That's all.
And for root: There's two different ways for ICS or JB. Use the appropriate one. (4.2.1 is JB, in case you didn't know.)
I don't have the links st hand, but there's this index linked in my signature...

I think that's enough to say. I bet yo have internet access so you can search the whole web. Trust me, you will find the answers to all the questions you asked here because they are already answered.
As already stated very often in this forum, xda is not a noobie helpdesk so search and read yourself.

you mean this forum is only for developers and for developers asking help from developers about how to make their new custom rom ? if thats it , then im sorry ill find another forum to ask help. Maybe you are SO pro that you cant help someone without knowledge to unlock the bootloader. But i dont even see anyone else answering too. Maybe indeed the bootloader of 4.1.2 20b cant be unlocked yet and instead you tell me keep searching. Anyway i didnt put up this thread to fight with random people. I need help. If u actually cant help then thank you ill get help from someone that can. its the help section after all , not the world war z.

Hey, I told you how to do it. It's not my fault if you don't understand the tutorials or the software that the devs provide. It's all written down, maybe you should read it after having some sleep

You can't flash a rom when the bootloader is locked, can you? That would be a surprising fact for me... Guess you did unlock it but didn't know about it

to flash a rom.. yes..
what kind of rom ? is it stock rom ? or custom rom..
stock rom flashed using different tools than custom rom..
to flash custom rom, you need to flash custom recovery first..
to flash custom recovery, you have to unlock the bootloader first...
that's the basic knowledge

vanir rom. cant be more custom xD i pressed: 3845#*880# which is supposed to check bootloader status and gave me the message: error connection or mmi code is not valid.
Now im thinking if i can flash werewolf kernel in use with vanir rom. is it possible or the kernel has to go with specific roms ?

The command you used only works on LG stock roms.
You can use werewolf kernel but you have to use cm10.2 version
