Fastboot success? - LG Optimus 4X HD

Can everyone who unlocked via fastboot method please post the firmware they used here, in 234 I get security error with adb but in fastboot I get option to unlock, trouble is nothing happens when I do. I want to try this with all roms in case a loophole exists somewhere, its the only thing left I can think of, if this doesn't work I'm swapping s3 with GF when she upgrades

If you want to try with all roms its your problem.
You should know better how bootloader unlock works.
All the roms are out there fore you to try them.
To be honest, I don't know how your "thanks meter" grow so much once that you speculate more than you help or give something wortheful.
Life is made of options that we need to deal with... if your happy good, if you're not, your problem, change device, do whatever you want.
Just don't post like if the world is yours and your option will affect all of us.
This "ship" have doors open. Its up to you to stay or to leave. If you leave, I wish you a happy journey and all the best but, choose!!!
Or you stay and deal with it, or leave and leave us with our "issues".
S3 looks like a good device. Go for it and good luck :good:

I'm a deep thinker, and merely ask some input. I've learned quite a lot about android, but still have a lot more to learn. Would be nice for you to give me some insight into how bl unlock works, heard some stuff about fuse but its vague. I love this phone but this is a must for me. A fair few people report success based on what they flashed. I ask questions to learn, and I ask in the appropriate section, so please don't question my thanks meter, I've been around a while but always had an easy unlock solution, or in case of moto defy a very good bypass. This whole region specific stuff is strange to me, I don't pretend to know everything and that's why I ask questions! Don't hate please I've always thought XDA was very unfriendly to noobs, but the longer I've been here the more I realize even seasoned users get burned! I don't have the time to try every rom out there, I have a job to go to, and besides, what's the point of trying something if someone else has already? That's the point of my question

Far from me to hate other user or other user issues.
Things are how they are... Its not easy to deal with nvidia security or LG policies...
You think that if some one had some answer for you (not only) wouldn't give it to?...
I would like to tell you «follow this procedure»... but, I can't!
Take it easy and try to deal with it, or, solve the problem, or wait for a solution... or, change device and you'll be done.

Yes that is true. I'm not expecting an answer to just appear. But people have had success, even 234-000, I've seen the photos. It's possible, there's no doubt in my mind and that is why I try everything I can. Maybe it is just luck but then again I don't think something as precise as a software can be based on luck? All the unlocked users have abandoned the discussions now that cm10.1 is out and it is a little annoying I must admit, so I'm doing everything I can including getting everyone signing that thread I sent to LG (close to 100 btw). I'm sure you aren't hating, just the "that's your problem" and the thanks meter question was a little disrespectful imo. But I know your opinion comes from a good place, I've seen how bad the forum gets spammed and if my post turns out useless I don't care if it's trashed. But like I say, you don't know if you don't try

I have an idea that should work but I can't try , it may fully-brick the device .
Any EUR-xxx user can backup his bootloaders (x-loader/u-boot) in an *.img file :-
Code:
su ; dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p* of=/mnt/sdcard/x-loader.img
And the same for u-boot .. until know I don't know the partition name but it's easy to know it .
x-loader loads before the u-boot , and check for security & hardware (as I remember) and then the u-boot which will load the kernel ,, after that the kernel loads the modems , RIL , display ...
We can flash the bootloaders by fastboot by :-
Code:
fastboot flash x-loader ***.img
fastboot flash u-boot ***.img
And it can be in a *.bin file type .
But maybe this will full brick the phone which means can't enter download mode . Then we will need a *.blob file to nvflash mode to earse the recovery & kernel partitions to force the phone into fastboot .
#------------------------------------------
echo "Sender.product.model=LG-P880" # (O4X) .
if [ $thanks -eq $pressed ] ; then
thanks_meter=$((${thanks_meter} + 1)) ; fi #Press it

My next attempt (when official JB for UK will be released) is to capture all USB traffic with this:
sourceforge.net/projects/usbsnoop/
Hopefully we could then try to decipher what's the protocol used.
If with the UK version we don't get an unlocked boot loader, I will probably give this phone to my gf and I'll buy a Chinese one, at least they are cheap and I don't need a too powerful phone (I'm not a gamer).

Good idea, but is it not worth trying that with euro open to save waiting? I have too many shifts with work to try atm or I would, plus I wouldn't know what the output would mean

I Guess I could, but in this period I'm quite busy as well (work and courses) so I don't have one day to dedicate to this task.
Hopefully after the next 2 weeks I'll have more time and I could try (but using windows annoys me so much ).

[Q] Any DEV can help me?

I am trying make x8 bootloader unlock one button, need help.
Also in tool would be identification of phones
anyone know dev in delphi or vb? wanna help?
Here you go.... :S
who help will get one free sim unlock of any semc model
Can you even program?
Yea I know but I am stuck :S
Note: i have NOTHING against you or what you are doing, merely the attitude of some ppl who are asking for what you want to do
While i can see that you have somewhat good intentions in trying to make things easier for others, i for one do not see any point in having a "one big button" unlock bootloader program.
i mean... the current method is simple enough.
1. run a file, follow the instructions and look for one particular line.
2. if output from 1=something then run File-A. if output from 1=somethingelse then run File=B.
2 double clicks and plugging your phone in twice. How hard can it be? it's gonna b much more of a hassle trying to automate the above process.
Sorry to say this, but if some ppl find doing that a tedious chore then they shouldn't even be unlocking their bootloaders in the first place. it's even simpler than flashing a new rom =.= u don't see them asking for a "one big button rom flash" do u?
I appreciate what you're trying to do, but in my opinion one click tools are counterproductive. People won't bother to read instructions with such tools and they screw up their phone and then start whining. On more tedious-to-use tools, people will read more thoroughly. This is just my 2 cents worth.
Cheers ,
SpyderX

When @Omario-242 helped you before you didn't press the 'Thanks' button - which is common courtesy when someone helps you.
You really need to learn to search and read before asking basic questions as anything you ask is likely to have been asked at least 10 times before.
I'll start by putting your mind at rest on one thing - you cannot brick this phone. So, if you don't read properly and understand what you are doing, the worst you will have to do is flash a .kdz file to recover (as a hint, look this stuff up so you know what to do if you do screw-up).

[Q] TF701 bricked to APX. blob file issue.

Dear All,
I hope somebody can help me with hard bricked TF701T.
My sad story: I was very happy when bought brand new TF701. It came with US 4.22 android and with non working RCK, so I was not able to make a proper backup. Device has the following problems before my first upgrdae to 4.3:
1. Periodically, screen slightly blinking (5-10 percent of normal to little more dark and back, for one-two second).
2. Several times my tab was restarting by itself, especially when I was using file manager (ES explorer)
3. Also, when lot of people was able to make an upgrade using asus menu, my tab always replied me that SW is new and upgrade is not needed.
That's why I downloaded the official "US_epaduser_10_26_1_18_UpdateLauncher.zip" from asus site, putted it into the root / and after restart, system message came - new version is available. So I did it, upgrade to 4.3 was successful.
After that, screen stop to blink. But problem with non working RCK still present. So my next step was installation of CWM, using fastboot ADB. Everything was fine, but my first test backup has been not completely fine - after system & files, md5 checksum was generating for more than one hour, and backup was not completely performed (I've interrupted the process after one hour "md5")
My last successful step was rooting of my poor tab..
Finally, I obtained the 4.3 with root access, working CWM and no more 3 of listed above problems. The only md5 issue was pending.
Than I have performed my FATAL error.. I start playing with nvram - thanks to easy flasher tool (but it is my fault, no question)
As result, I have TOTALLY DEAD TF701. Boot loop with ASUS logo, fastboot (- & power) is not available anymore;
The only thing I have it is APX availability, but according to my internet research there is no chance to unbrick tf701t for now. At list NvFlash is not recognized my device. Latest version of NvFlash tool answering me:

As far as I am aware the nvflash tools are not yet released for the TF701T, so who knows what bootloader you have now flashed. Unless some miracle happens you look hard bricked
I'm guessing you didn't notice the devices nvflash supports which is an unfortunate and costly mistake.

Thank you for reply. Definitely it's my fault for 100%, because I've not checked the nvflash possibility, before I start playing with blob Really stupid story, especially I have already performed all the needed things as rooting, update, CWM.
The main reason I'm posting here is to check, does anybody who has a deep knowledge of such devices design, already experienced with TF701T recovery?
I hope at list single person in the world (not counting asus engineers, as far as their company politic became similar to microsoft or oracle) knows the backdoor way to this tab recovery..?

Hey people... Nobody can help me?
Asus help us
Hello ASUS !!!
You have to HELP us, in order to keep your consumer with you. Other vice people will start to think that your ASUS brand is not a trustful brand anymore. Using such tricks as providing consumer with possibility to open a "Pandora's box" with bootloader unlock, and after you pushing consumer to pay about 300 $ for "motherboard replacing".
Following such kind of policy you will collect some money but definitely you will loose much more.
Sincerely,
Stream1313
PS: I was started to use the "unlock" etc not because I do not have other business t do but because of the serious problem in your DEFAULT STOCK software.
To: Moderator - please do not delete this post, hopefully some ASUS people will read it.
This is not asus' fault at all. When you unlock your bootloader you void your warranty, as with all devices not just asus transformers. When you modify your device, and tamper with it, its no longer what asus sold it to you as. If you used easy flasher which is for the tf101 and not 701, there is no one to blame for this mistake but yourself. Especially when you flash a bootloader for a different device. Unless you have a JTAG theres not much to do. Even then who knows. Im not bashing you here, just so you know. Good luck with your device, although im afraid its a pretty expensive paperweight by now.

Dear ebildude123,
Seems you have some relationships with ASUS, is it? See, I'm not trying to say that it's not a my fault. If you read my post carefully, it is clearly described that I'm confirming - it is 100% my fault. but I want to say about other things:
At first, I started because of the following ASUS DEFAULT PROBLEM's: suddenly screen was blinking, w/o any reason; tab was restarting by itself, at list once per 2-3 days; Default backup was not working, battery life time was low etc.
My main message is: ASUS distributed the unlock SW on site, together with USER LEVEL SW. It is incorrect, IMHO. They should distribute it within advanced users and developers, using some more safe mechanism. As minimum they have to sign this download as potentially DANGEROUS for unexperienced user.
But currently it is open to everybody so it is like a Pandora's box, which is asking - "open me" and as result many of people getting hard bricked tabs. Then, ASUS forcing them to pay 300$ or whatever. Actually, I do not crying too much for my bricked device (I have my laptop and desktop with me, as well as my linux server) Also I know that I just need to wait a little more for compatible nvflash.. ...but I do not think that I will purchase another ASUS device in the future..
IMHO - if you DISTRIBUTING on your site the bootloader unlock tool, you have to provide nvflash or any other way to restore the tab / phone, but not pushing stupid idea about "mainboard replacement" for almost device price itself. So you have your opinion - and it is mine. Ok? Good luck

Haha no relationship with Asus. I guarantee it. While I agree unlock tool shouldn't be thrown around, that's not what bricks your device, it's what you flash that does. Personally I think they should use fastboot unlock instead but meh. Yes of course everyone has their own opinions. I respect yours and hope you respect mine as well. Good luck with nvflash but I have doubts your current blob would work even if they made a tool compatible with tf701 tegra4.

APX mode with no nvflash blobs = hard bricked device. Your device needs specific blobs encrypted with the key. You can't even boot to working bootloader.
Even Asus don't **** around with them they just replace the mother board.
Suggest you do the same, it's THE ONLY WAY you are going to get your device back. Linux will not help you here.

Well, three years later and my TF701 bricked itself over night. Only thing I see is APX in the windows device manager. I managed to get a driver for that but am now stuck with the next steps, if there are any at all.

I am not very familiar with Myth Tools but my #1 rule when it comes to XDA is "Read Everything" and this is the very first thing on their thread, it says, "BE SURE YOU ARE UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER BEFORE FLASHING..." -- It really can't be much more explicit than that.
With regards to saving your device, my recommendation would be to try to unlock your bootloader if you still can. If you're able to boot to the bootloader (from powered-off state hold down power+vol up+vol down) then you may be able to salvage the device. Make sure you read all of the instructions that come with the unlocking tool because when it comes to these types of tools, it is very important that you educate yourself before you go and fiddle around with the software because if you don't know what you're doing, it's very easy to end up with a brick on your hands. I'm very sorry that you had to learn that the hard way (we've all been there) but I'm sure it will be a valuable lesson that you take with you for next time. Here is the link to the bootloader unlocking tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2226504
Feel free to PM me if you need help and I will do my best to answer any questions that you have, or you can ask your questions right here in this thread!

Here is the link to the bootloader unlocking tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2226504

I am not very familiar with Myth Tools but my #1 rule when it comes to XDA is "Read Everything" and this is the very first thing on their thread, it says, "BE SURE YOU ARE UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER BEFORE FLASHING..." -- It really can't be much more explicit than that.
With regards to saving your device, my recommendation would be to try to unlock your bootloader if you still can. If you're able to boot to the bootloader (from powered-off state hold down power+vol up+vol down) then you may be able to salvage the device.

Question Help about flashing Oxygen OS to Chinese Oneplus 10 Pro

I know that there are so many threads about this, but in every thread everyone is talking different.
I want to just know, which is the tested method to flash European ROM to Chinese phone?
I also dont have a proper link for european rom ( I have seen some people flashing Indian rom and what is difference between indian and european?)
So lads please help me, I dont want to brick my phone, because there are no OP support team near my country. So it would be a garbage.
By personal experience, don't do that.
My phone is just bricked from just trying to flash the same rom again.
I've always did on my htc, xiaomi, samsung and many others and OnePLus 10 pro was the first one to give me problem. If you get in a state that you need to run fastboot flashing unlock_critical and for some reason your device reset then it's dead with no chance to recover.
There is no tool available to us that can recover from that. The phone don't turn on screen, it's not recognized by the computer and even on the charger it just don't turn on. So completely dead.
The best way is to just buy the model NE2213, that comes with a global rom.

It is too late, cause I have bought chinese version and waiting to delivery.
Also there is no chance me to leave this ColorOS. So I will somehow flash or sell this phone

Yes I have seen this and much more posts about flashing.
Someone was lucky and made it, someone was not lucky and bricked phone...
Wish i have seen these failures before I buy phone
Get Fastboot Enhanced & files needed to access adb/fastboot from computer. Unlock Bootloader. Download the OOS ROM you want then extract the file you need for Fastboot Enhanced. Make sure no cow files exist on device with Fastboot Enhanced and then if all checks out you flash.
I've kept this very vague because like you've mentioned there are a few different tutorials explaining (including mine here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...lobal-rom-region-change.4462591/post-87151395) but the basic steps I quickly explained should exist in them all. You'll just need to find one you can follow that makes the most sense to you!
I personally used NE2213 on my device that I converted from NE2210 and am using that device to reply to this thread. I am in Canada and this is Chinese Model OP10 Pro and all works fine on my end. Hopefully you can accomplish the same for yourself if this is your intention.

If you can make sense of all the steps then go for it lol. My tutorial is more of a gathering of others work put together in a way that I hoped others could follow. I didn't want to re re re make another tutorial from scratch as your already seeing how confusing and inconsistent having so many guides can be!
I typically use Oxygen Updater on the PlayStore. Then in settings I'll do this (check photo). Then go back to the first page of application and you should see a download option (also check photo). Once you've downloaded the file just transfer it to the computer and you should be good to go. This is usually how I get the files...
Thanks so much, You made a great job lad.
Will try when I get a phone and I will let you know how it goes.

Just remember to keep reading over everything while you wait for your phone. Make sure to check everything over and over and just read all the threads here on XDA to get an understanding for what everyone else has done (the good and the bad) to ensure you yourself don't make any mistakes when the time comes.
I have the Chinese Model also and don't even understand one word let alone writing in the language but this is the phone I got and I gotta make it work so I can relate to your situation with buying it already and it being too late to change your mind lol.
my mind is blowing, everyday reading so much failures and bricked phones thats not good for mental health.
planned to go with your guide step by step and pray same time, maybe that helps lol
