Here's what you MUST READ BEFORE YOU START --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1590266
Well , before you start..
You need to root your phone.
Here's how you do it --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1046605
After you root , you need to unlock your bootloader. This is a risky thing and you might lose your phone.
If you do NOT unlock , you can still install custom ROMS but not all of them.
If you unlock your boot loader you can install any and every compatible kernel and ROM including ICS
To know how to unlock your bootloader (READ THE WARNING IN THE FOLLOWING THREAD) --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1481630
Root , allows you to install custom ROMS (i.e custom Android versions)
Bootloader unlock allows you to install custom kernels (recommended if you want a stable ics)
Please post questions in Q&A in the future...

its so easy to ROOT the firmware , why do you find it so difficult
and if you want a rom already rooted search in this forum you will find many custom roms which are already rooted ........
and building your own rom is a super natural power which you are born with you can not learn it ( i had no other option than telling him this , cozz wanting to build an own rom just for the pain of rooting sounds #$%@*#$$##$

Thank you for answer,but i didn't means that root is difficult,I mean that i just want to make my own rom then i can share it ,and i don't think build a rom is boring beacuse i had build the WM's ROM before,so if someone could tell me how to do it .If you konw how to do ,could you tell me something?
you put the su application where it belongs and you give it setuid 0
check how the update.zip of the "root zips" do it and you just replicate it in the rom
if theses info were not enough you should indeed start by learning linux etc

Dude, this isnt a help or questions section, this is a development forum.
Go read the sticky threads there is plenty of info there and pretty easy to follow. I read them and had a custom rom flashed to my Tab same day I bought it.
I thank you and sorry I found several guides the only thing that I did not understand is the order to follow what flashing before or after

Before or after what?
Basically all you do is..
a) Root your device (download and use z4root from market)
b) Go to a rom thread and read instructions (Go to the rom link in my signature)
Root your device, download the rom and then follow the following guide..

I hope you got, that this was a thread in O3D Optimus 3D Forum... Anyway, if you want a stock Rom, just use R&D tool (use search) and read the first post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1111771 and then read my reply http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22237122&postcount=449 and you will be able to flash v20x. Being noob doesnt mean u ll get a step by step guide, so do some reading pls. If you want a custom rom, also go to first thread, download the pack, use blackjack to root or search for root v10x where x is your version and then use CWM.exe (or similar) to install CWM or do it by RomManager! Then download a custrom from Dev Section and havbe fun
i dont understand , where can i find the r&d tool?
In the Package, I posted the link to above! Download the Package and you will find it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1111771

ok , so i downloaded open the r&d tool , but cant select anything why that?
im sorry for multi-posting but i tried and i gets the same , after i press the upgrade button , the lg mobile update support appears again X( X( it pisses me OFF it says the same thing , that i have the latest version (2.2.2) what should i do pls ? thanks in advance!

U CANNOT overclock V20n! You need Nova ROM to do this, and this is only 2.2... So better think about it again Root your phone now, and then install Zeus, it is v20n, but modified, to be faster...

Hello Everyone,
I want to root my device (I8190XXAMA3), and I can't find any suitable root. It seems everyone just avoids this version, jumping from XXAMA1, 2 to XXAMB3 and to my sorryness XXAMA4. I have no Idea if any of the previous roots would work for me but I find that disturbing ,
Anywho, would some gentleman explain to me if these versions roots would work for me (and i precisely want to know if the I8190XXALK6 version would work, because I have already downloaded it :cyclops: ) or that i shoud install a prevous ROM version.
Another question please : Would the version that I will install have anything to do with the network operators that can be running one my device, or is it irrelevant ?? and would I be able to desimlock the phone when I root it or it still is necesssary to bother my wallet ??
Boy, that's a lot of talking !!
Thanks guys,
Greetings from a android-noob fella, and good luck everygeek.
seem like you have searched it at development section here is link for requested version flash it via odin 3,07 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2178346&highlight=xxamb3
THANKS,
I have already rooted with "I8190XXAMB3_I8190XXAMB2_Jelly_Bean_4.1.2_rooted" does that mean that I have "down-graded" the Rom ??
This is a stock rom rooted version if you want custom rom u need a root permission to install cwm by cwm u can install custom rom very ssmooth rom of benz v6 u can install it via cwm hoe to install cwm install rom manager can be installed by rom manager in google play

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 ?

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)

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
