As all O4XHD user should have encountering problem encountering Locked Bootloader which halt all the development here.
LG are ignoring user request for unlocking the bootloader for user therefore a effort have carried out to unlocked BL
I looked on a Tegra 3 Beast that doesn't even have any Custom Rom at all (I am shocked) therefore i might tried carry out some
development but as i would said it's slow and don't expect much because i don't own any device to test nor i'm a good developer
With BL Locked we need to do some workaround for the device.
Now starting to collecting data and required info for working on the device.
I need to focus my ongoing project for other device therefore don't expect thing will be done fast as i developing this for a phone i don't own.
What Can You Do?
[*]Post Link Regarding Info Might Be Useful
[*]Share some developer/workaround info
[*]Need some tester (Checkout the requirement)
[*]No ETA's & Trolling (Development Area)
[*]Can help by donating me (maybe getting device for me if thing work)
More to add.

+1 happy to test have been using custom ROMs for years now. I have been looking to use HTC one x cm9 ROM as a port but I don't really have enough knowledge and have got as far as modifying build prop and kernel but not sure if it will get any where because of boot loader. Good luck sounds like you have more experience than me.

i know i can do nothing but a little support and a thank for you
I saw from another thread, that you already found the leaked bootloader.Because I'm entirely inexperienced with the Android ecosystem (and Linux in general), I can't offer much of help, but I'm willing to be a beta-tester if you cook up something!
There was some work to get CM9 running on the device using 2nd-Init. Im going to look into 2nd-init a bit more, and try booting a htc one x CM9 on this which might only just work.
I suppose you already found these?

Same goes here.
I am trying 2nd-init and as i don't have this device i can't progress.
Still looking in holes that can get us something.
CWM isn't complete as it doesn't really complete flashable(maybe)
but thanks for other for the link.
Any 2nd-init related thread are required to study more better on 2nd-init function.

Looks like you're abit too late bud. We had a fund raiser to give the money to a dev to work on the phone. Its already been claimed by kholk and I "think" that he's doing what he can. Its just your luck you didn't contact us first. If I'm not wrong, about 500-600 euros was given to kholk

Yeah, but kholk is working on unlocking the bootloader. He might not succeed, so it's great if more devs are interested and have a look at 2nd-init (which works quite well on older Motorola devices, such as Milestone and Defy).

I will look on it but then it doesn't mean a smooth progress.
Just helping here.
some hints to get resolved.
bootup "wallpaper" binary is started by lg.early.rc which checks for DRM binaries are where they should be in /system/lib and /vendor/lib folder, which normally would exclude any option for refreshing those at bootup.
bootup init files replace and removed if you use 2nd-init and it will reload the same binaries and you might get locked up, if its not cleaned.
modem binaries: they require some authentication it seems to get enabled, i did not find out what triggers it but using logcat -b radio did not help much on my OneX build.
wifi: LG have already compiled the kernel with the wifi driver built-in, which Means the libhardware_legacy, needs to skip the stage to insmod the wifi driver, it can be tricky or you need a workaround reloading the BTHID kernel module, to get around it.
for the wallpaper binary, you can always run it from Shell checking if you touched or removed liblgdrm or libdrmframework files, as it will Lock bootup, but thats only if you got the device in your hands, otherwise testers need to prepare to use the original kdz files and reflash Again, spending alot of time on nothing
using Mount -obind to get around replacing the files needed is the trick to replace lib supposed to be in /system/lib at bootup, using "ln -s" to point to a different bind'd folder when you actually can do it (from like a vold wrapper or so)
thats all hints i can come up with for now.
talked to some guys whom done 2nd Init.
They said aren't impossible but i am not sure they can help on this project.
I can't do much,don't have O4X for testing as well.
this the part of updates here
i do not believe anyone can do much without the o4x remote, especially when playing with 2nd-init and bypassing security and trying to improve.
it will probably die before it starts getting to boot
initially i seemed to be the only one getting a custom modded port working on o4x and i needed the device to get that far and as you said previously you will not ask for another contributed device, so it might just stop with our premodded recoveries by 2nd-init and maybe be leaked cm10 i did in another thread. (although not worth much)

Create a rom with a second init is the best option?A new rom ICS installed via cmw with the same kernel...
create a vanilla version (,a clean version,stile Nexus),for example a v10H, deodexed, without Lg programs and useless programs. I Believe the users like it a clean version, fast ,and powerful.
Would be interested in a stripped and tweaked version of stock, vanilla style ics. If it's do able?

Be patient. CyanogenMod is a source built ROM, it's compiled from source and the source code is a mix of AOSP from Google/Android and the CyanogenMod Team's own programming. Hashcode has been working very hard on getting the source ported so that it will compile and run on the Droid 3. He's also working on making it work in a "sandbox" area so as not to affect the stock ROM (easy to switch back and forth between the two).
All the current ROMs for the Droid 3 are modified stock ROMs. Some theme changes, app deletions/additions, a few build.prop edits, etc...

I am not that well versed on CyanoGen... I started off with a D2, and the flexribbon broke before I was able to see the dawn of custom kernels. Is cyanogen truly a custom kernel? If so, I assume we're trying to hijack the boot process to load dual kernels?

CyanogenMod on locked bootloaders hijacks the init process and runs on top of the stock kernel. No kernel replacement on locked bootloader phones.
Yyup, that's what I thought.
Also, according to Hashcode0f, well be seeing a CM7 beta in the very, very near future. He's going to be writing a dossier up on it shortly.

Even though it has a bootloader, that doesn't mean the development cannot take place. Why not develop now so when the bootloader gets unlocked, you will already have a pretty descent ROM to flash on!

Technically the radio works (3G data), but the phone app crashes due to an audio codec issue I'm looking at.

Honestly, I don't believe the bootloader will ever be unlocked. It will have to be unlocked by Motorola and I just do not believe that they ever will.
So developing ROMs (from source) will require using the 2nd-init process CM7 is using to boot the "new" OS on top of the stock kernel. Kernel will remain stock.......
Did you forget who bought motorola? Google! And google supports devs. Like all the unlocked nexus phones! It will be released sooner or later! Have hopes!

If the acquisition passes through (which likely won't be soon).. word is Google bought them more for patents than for anything else. If we're lucky, Google might make sure future phones are unlocked. However I highly doubt Google will do anything about phones already released.
Plus Moto said they would release an update to unlock the bootloaders where carrier approved. The other variations of the droid 3 may get unlocked, but I doubt big red will give their approval for unlocking the droid 3.
i had a motorola defy with locked bootloader. There were no hope for updates and for custom roms. Till dev (quarx) did it. Now defy has jelly bean (cm10). Lets search for devs and make a donation app, so they can buy our phone add develop one great rom.
Great idea, but do we have enough people? No one will buy the phone if we can donate only ~100€
well, not to develop ROM, but better to sacrifice their/his phone to try unlocking bootloader..

incorrect, i made the Sense custom for Defy way before even CM9 was invented, but correct 2nd-init was working already then and no none really spend much investigating how to use it early on, but that was probably 1yr+ ago.

i did mine in feb.2011 , Quarx did his first post of cm7 in april 2011, i do not know if that helps your memory. (i did check all his post on the topic) . I strongely believe i was utilizing 2ndinit on defy on a customrom, and i was introducing it here on o4x for now.
but to stay on topic, no one seems to have faith in a CM10 for O4X here, i tried to port, but that never went well, and compiling only helps so far as the ril driver is documented by LG here.
but the rest should be straight forward, since we share chipset with OneX which got quite far now.
btw,
i did post my CM10 rom as nandroid backup using 2nd init , so your request is already existing on o4x, just not with a phone functionality.

As long as the kernel is not signed u cant really use it. i dont remember anyone using 2nd init on milestone for a custom kernel.
they actually just adapted CM for the old kernels wich is a lot of work i think... And that could be done for our 4xHD as well the problem is
actually that u need the devs for it.
And i think no dev really wants 2 work on a standart phone unless he has it and really wants to keep it and mod on it.
hello all, I've just picked up a razr i as a temp standin while my xperia Z is away under warranty repair.
(it was cheap enough to keep too play with afterwards)
is there any reason why no-one has started on CM /PA yet? I've looked through all the posts and can't see anything remotely like a real custom rom..
I'm happy to start working on this (will probably leave it till my Z is back in use though), but would like to get a decent team together to work on it, rather than do it on my own, which is what I've done in the past for a few devices and burnt myself out!
if you're interested then let me know
DO NOT POST
Code:

and me
or
let me beta test !
I want people with a more technical bent than a lot of the users on here to get involved.
for those people, is there anything I'm missing that would stop us building for this?
we have kernel source, and omars kernel looks fairly decent basepoint looking at his git, and some source from motorola that looks sloppily put together.
we can flash with fastboot, and even using blobs it doesn't look too arduous to get at least a 4.1 based build going, so am I missing something?
I'm pretty open on how I work, but I don't tolerate people demanding stuff, or expecting perfection, this will be a W.I.P for a very long time (especially if done on my own).
As far as i know, the problem is on intel processor libs... That's what i've read somewhere around here

hello the problem is that no source AOSP (Cyanogen or AOKP) have x86 libraries and formats, visit www.androidx86.org
if you need a beta tester let me know
The app also must be compatible with x86
The problem I faced was that at the moment of booting it kept restarting netd -- which is odd seeing how the Kernel iptables/ipchains and net configuration is the same on Motorola's one. [info]
I even tried adding and compiling extra modules on the Kernel without much luck -- and it was not the typical ramdisk *.rc files fix here.
Hmm I presumed that with the amount of x86 development boards about there would be a load more work on bringing cm across.
I'll start to have a look at it in depth in the next couple of weeks.

Hello guys, I'm acquiring some info about how to build the CM11 to Honami with locked bootloader.
@Olivier already did it to Xperia S and @letama said to me that MAYBE we can do the same to Z1.

Well, this solution doesn't use kexec. It basically hijack stock firmware android boot to boot the alternate firmware but it's using stock kernel, that's why it can work with locked bootloaders. The only requirement is that cm or aosp should run on stock kernel and doesn't require a modified kernel. As you have kitkat on your device, there is a good chance that it does.
But it doesn't, that's why it does not work and a modified ramdisk (Hence modified kernel, hence unlocked bootloader) is needed
Hence kexec is needed, but that seems like a lost hope on Xperia Z devices
Nothink is imposible i hope
No, nothing is impossible, but there has to be enough effort spent on it.
Personally I don't think there will be as most devs got bootloaders which can be unlocked...hence they do not need kexec
In future its always preferable to check this before purchase
mabe don't need to unlock bootloader but workaround this - mabe multiboot or kexec will be more developed because more phone will released with LB and this is their new policy :/

Ramdisk is not a problem... When I say kernel, I mean zImage, not zImage+ramdisk: we extract cyanogen ramdisk in the boot hijack.
Kernel drivers combined to Android hal is what I meant and could cause problem depending on how Cyanogen was developed and how Cyanogen kernel source code is far from stock one. That's why we're usually stuck on Cyanogen with the same Android version.
Another solution is to hack Cyanogen code to support stock zImage. It's not for the faint of the heart, but it could be the only solution.
Greg's absolutely right, if your bootloader unlock allowed status is no or you're unwilling to unlock it then i'm afraid you're out of luck, i'm not saying it's impossible that just isn't true, but again as Greg's said this more than likely isn't going to happen as it would take some talented folk a lot of time to accomplish it, with the Z2 having been released and the vast majority of people able to unlock their bootloaders there is little call for someone to have a crack at it.
in all fairness though, the rom's that are available for locked bootloaders are pretty damn good and the launchers that you can install these days gives a near perfect android experience, you'll only be missing things like Halo and custom kernels along with a few mods and such that only appear to be available for cm based roms and the like.
Welcome to the official thread for the Lollipop roms for our Optimus 2x
As to start, this thread is exclusively for the developers who are interessted/working on on the Lollipop ports for our Optimus 2x
We had alredy some build like the OmniRom , CM12 and even ParanoidAndroid.
This thread is exclusively for discussions for the developers and for the testers to test the new made roms so I will update the links as the roms get made. So I am only posting here the links of the latest version, to get the versions from the past you wil need to browse throught this thread
Update 05/6/2016
Gucky did it again! New build for CyanogenMod 12.1 is up, and now with fixed camera! When I get the full list of working features and bugs, I will upload it here. Thank you Gucky for your massive help and contribution to this community. This device is very old after all, and you still find the time to tinker on it. No words really. Respect!
CM12.1 : https://sourceforge.net/projects/lg...cm-12.1-20160531-UNOFFICIAL-p990.zip/download
WARNING the Rom is still not stable, but we are close!
ParanoidAndroid: https://s.basketbuild.com/devs/Puri/p990/AOSPA(lollipop)
Take in mind that all these roms are unstable besides the CM12 rom,but it still has some major bugs which we as a group will fix.
As in all of this, stay tuned for updates
Good job my friend
Thank you very much. I'm downloading right now. It would be useful, if you could upload your (Lokal) Manifest, too. So we are able to re- build the rom with the necessary changes.
Looking forward!
Credits goes to you!
um

Hello everyone.As you might know me from some threads where i comment some stuff.Anyways, since Lollipop was announced i was obssesed with it and my wish was that i would be the first one to make the version availble for our device.
Well i kinda did it....KINDA of course but we need some help if we wanna make it work.I call ALL of the developers for our device to work together to make it work.We are so close to get it fully booting.I made it boot to the animation and now where the help comes in use.We need some developers who can enable ADB on our device in the bootanimation.TO be honest i dont really know anything about sources and that stuff but i know some things.With the help of @tonyp and @timduru which I am the most thankfull of that gave me hope to make this.So here we go!
WARNING!!!
ONLY FOR DEVELOPERS
No one should download and flash this rom because you will get stuck in the bootanimation and will need to install previouse rom again and install everything over...blah blah blah.
Also the link to the rom is here ----> https://www.dropbox.com/s/fwhg08ux7qhtgsh/5.0 test.zip?dl=0
So if someone gets it working, please pm me in the progress. Cheers

Well to be honest, i dont really know how to share the menifest because i didn't use much the source. I was porting the Cm11 tonyp's rom and the rom from timduru, so i dont really know how to share the manifest lol

Did you change some files in the zips or did you build a new rom in the way Raum described, my friend?

nope

nope, didn't touch anything other than the updater script i think and the build prop because i wanted fully stock experience
I can be your tester my phone got a battery problem so im having fun with flashing roms
I will try to exchange the updater script from my build with yours.
Lets see if I can flash mine.
And your your problem: I think there are one or more patches that we maybe need, witch timduru wont need because of the tegra3 hardware. (maybe some patch for our old egl hardware)

Well, it might be that he used KatKiss from timduru for the TF101 which has a Tegra 2, but still our phone uses the Tegra 2 AP20H, while the TF101 uses Tegra 2 T20. Small difference in the chipset, but still a difference. Easiest would be to port from the Galaxy R or Captivate Glide, but they too struggle with Lollipop over in their forum. Anyway, TheMysteryouse used timduru's AOSP rom, so maybe it would be easier building the whole thing from the demo CM12 sources available.
nonono

Nope, this rom has NOTHING to do with the tegra 3 rom.I used the rom for TF101 tablet which is tegra 2 but had a cmall chipset difference.So yeah I am still trying to do some things like searching the framework sources from tony to see if he has a code in the build.prop which directly enables ADB from the boot, but cant really find it.Anyways try your best and so the others.Cheers
Hi guys, after some testings I could get booting to finish. There are some errors left. But I will work further this evening and upload the rom afterwards. Think this will remain a test build for some time, till Tony or DJ can fix the errors.
Stay tuned!
Any video or screenshot? xD
Sorry for nob request, but working well or not, its great to our comunity
p.s. if need tester in future, you, TheMysteryouse or DJNoXD.
Im ready for
...WoW!...That´s Good News...Thank You for All of You, Guy´s...

Awesome news buddy! Lollipop on first power dual core android device! Switch to 1+ One as a primary phone for some reason but I will continue to follow and supporto you!
That is great!!! ))))))))
Ok. I have to go one step back. The rom is not ready for the testers and I'm too tired to test more. For those, who want to repeat my steps or want to finish...
I replaced the files in Mystery's rom with my own Kitkat ones. The first half, than the second. Now I could get it to finish the booting process. This steps I went on and on. So I could reduce the problem to the framework-files in "system". If you replace all of them, it boots up with some error messages.
I think we have to reduce the 40 files inside more and more to find the reason for the bootloop.
All the best to you,my friends!
Damm this is great a device from 2010 receives android L. 4years later. If I can borrow the old optimus 2x from my father then I could also look into the problems if it's not booting yet then. Till then continue your work.
