Hi!
Since one week I have my P 880. I'm really content with it compared to my previous ArcS.
I'm just beginning to read a lot so that I learn a little (Phone already rooted but bootloader is still locked (don't know how long).
I have three questions:
What is the difference between the section "4X HD Android Development" and "4X HD Original Android Development"?
And the second: can I flash a custom Kernel (of course after unlocking) and use it with Stock LG ROM? I'd like to regulate my battery drain if it's possible.
And the last: how can I see which special version I have updated (maybe noobish) ?
When I look into Telephone Info > Software Info: P88020a-262-000 ......is that Euro or German Version?
Maybe in one week I will see if my bootloader can be unlocked or not......I've become a flash-oholic since I had my Arc S:laugh:
Thanks in advance for any answer

I guess the differnece between these two threads is that the '' Andorid Development '' thread contains the mods and information how to root your phone and install custom recovery and the stuff. On the other hand '' Original Andriod Development '' thread contains the Roms and Kernels being developed by our beloved Developers. ( Hats off to all of them and to those who are still trying )
Yes you can use the Stock Rom and use any other avialable kernel but make sure its the one made for stock rom.
You have a German version Euro version Flashes EUR-XXX something like this.
Once unlocked you cannot relock it. I will recommend you to use unlock relock tool available here on this Forum.
You need to be on JB to unlock the Boot loader though.
Don't Forget to thank @future81 for this.
MFG.

Dear Friends
I am using unlocked Tmobile HD2 in India
Now if I flash it with custom ROMs will it again lock it to the Tmobile network
Please help me friends if some precautions to be take for flashing
Thanks
No, dont worry, once unlocked it cannot be re locked.
Do NOT try to flash any stock roms except tmous stock rom. Example never flash the stock India rom,,, all stock roms will destroy your phone. Only use roms that say " tmous compatible," or "leo1024" or similar.

Thanks samsamuel...but mine is Tmobile UK with 512 mb flash size
If I flash the official Tmobile UK ROM..will it relock itself
Thanks
Ohhhhh right, in future don't say "t mobile hd2", its unnecessary, confusing and you will get wrong advice.
also, this "t mobile" section isn't for you, its for t mobile USA, which is kind of a different phone.
Answer no, it will never be re locked.

hd2 rom update
Hi, i use an US t-mobile HD2 in Hungary. Its unlocked.
ROM version: 2.13.531.1. I like to update the rom to 3.14
I found on t-mobile's site some instructions, and the new rom.
My question is: when i update ROM with original t-mobile ROM(3.14), can it be re locked?? Thanks (sorry for my bad english)
No it will not be relocked by flashing a new ROM (stated many times in many threads including this one)
If flashing you would be best looking at Energy 29017 custom ROMs unless you have a very good reason to want flash original ROM.
Custom ROM is superb & functions far better than any latest operator build.
I had T-Mobile 3.14 & flashing to Energy 23699 build ROM is like jumping forwards 2 years in software development (probably closer to a decade at MS development speed)
i have been using maglr 1.13 i think im locked out now i open up a daf an it reads Readme.txt for this release is missing.can someone steer me in the ridgt direction
Steer yourself at Google and type "magldr rearmed.txt missing", loads of results.
this mobile will hav custom rom ?? i have to decide to buy HTC One X or LG 4X HD i dunno which one is better
only i kno is LG hav better Hardware issue but HTC One x hav better Rom issue ??
ty n sry for my english
No unlocked bootloader, no custom ROM!
Go buy the One X.

If you read a bit, you'll soon discover. But to make it short, i'll tell you. This phone won't have any custom roms as long as the bootloader stays locked, because it doesn't seem to be attractive for developers to make anything as long as they don't have full control. Roms could be made with 2nd init, but the kernel can't be changed and nobody managed to make proper roms with that until now. Our only chance left is that LG will unlock the bootloader, but that's very unlike to happen. So if you want custom roms, go for the OneX. If you want great hardware for a great price with the downsides (though stock software is pretty good), go for the 4X. Or wait another two months and get the Optimus Nexus, which will most likely have LG hardware combined with Google AOSP software and unlocked bootloader.

yup..the bootlader is the main problem here... because the hardware of Optimus 4XHD is really great
What is the solution to unlock the boot-loader . The O4X has similar specification to htc One X .
Please, Can someone explain that why the LG 4X has locked boot-loader and what is the best method to unlock the boot-loader ?

There's no method, unless You'll explore it by Yourself and show it to us lol
O4X wins with HOX in hardware, it've for sure better screen for example
I believe that even if there was bootloader, make a rom is very complicated and takes a lot of work, when a phone has updates of firmware within all stock applications and LG did a very good phone with software integration where all hardware works fine. I think is not very attractive build a rom.
There are already plenty of ways to customize a phone through applications like Launchers, Keyboards, Backgrounds, Status bars, Sounds ...
For now LG seems to want to continue to update the phone and the phone was last updated in December and it works perfectly, fast and smooth.
And if you want to "root" your phone you can do it very easily.
If they wont unlock b., then they need to make JB for our phone. Do we have chance to they unlock b. or JB?
I'm not the waiting type.. im gonna wait 1month.. if the JB update comes in January.. i will test it If i don't see any update before 9.febuary i'll put an order for Nexus 4.. This phone has been out for half a year.. its time something happens!!!!
Just bought a 4X HD and its looking nice
Not keen on LG's overlay though but maybe it will grow on me.
Anyway it is a UK model (Unlocked, No Operator etc)
Already Upgraded to 4.1.2, software version is P880020a-234-000
Bit confused on if I can root, flash a rom etc.
Please advise
Thanks!!

you can try og lockscreen too.
Ok thanks I am now rooted
Can I not Unlock bootloader/install custom recovery etc?
Or change to EUR rom and do it??
Thanks again!!!!
now is unlocking useless for normal users ...because no custom roms / custom kernels .
LG released the soucecode this morning. So now its only a bit of waiting before the first custom roms will be released.

So I can unlock using LG official and put CWM on now or not?
Sorry about all the Q's , EVERYother phone I have bought has had a great modding community with guides everywhere so this is a bit unusual to me

Not until you unlock your bootloader which, until they find a way to do it, can't be done in the 234-000 version.
Also, there are guides in this community, you just have to look for them (e.g. in the General Forum or the Development one). There you could have found answers for your doubts, as well as other people trying to get around the bootloader issue (there's even a thread dedicated to 234-000 users, and another for 262-000 owners).
Now we just wait my friend!

Well going by the fact that you have 234-000 You might not be able to unlock your boot loader as of yet.
There are 2 users that i know of from the UK that have unlocked their boot loader. I have tried and and tried again.
LG's Open source team have told me and a few other forum members that 234-000 and 262-000 are both unlockable.
The best bet is to wait for AGBRBK V20A... Which is the UK build of 20A.
Its just a waiting game. :good:
Hello all.
I'm being a bit nooby here - have lots of experience flashing with Samsung's, but not much with HTC.
I have an unlocked M7, however it was originally locked to EE. (UK). As such, it's still suck on 4.3.
Is it possible to fully convert my phone to the unlocked version of the firmware so that I can receive OTAs? I've read about roms needing to match the version listed on hboot if you're S On (I am) but can't figure out whether it's necessary for functionality, or just for warranty purposes.
Sorry if this is covered already - we all know how great the search function works here...
Cheers for any advice!

If your on a unlocked bootloader why not install TWRP 2.6.3.3 recovery and then flash ARHD 62. It's fully stock only better and it's the latest kitkat. When HTC release an update to Kitkat, custom roms like ARHD will be the first to release it. Whereas carriers could be months behind.

I have stock AT&T 4.4.2 and I posted a topic HERE asking if it is possible to root Note 3 or not?
According to the post HERE, it seems like someone has figure it out to root Note 3.
So, I just want to double check, now can I root my AT&T Note 3 ? and install custom ROM to it ?
That is exactly what the thread you linked to said, so yes, you can do those now...

So, once I root my AT&T Note 3 with Towelroot
What custom ROM I should install ? is there anything available out there ? As there was no way to root Note 3 before with 4.4.2 update, I don't know if there was any ROMs available or not ?
anyone ?
In the spirit of helping out, once you root with Towelroot head on over to the Note 3 development section. There are several KK ROM's . As far as a best one, "we" as a community don't label a single ROM as best. Each developer does their best to supply us with a free product. Certainly some are better, than others. It is left to the user to read and make decisions for themselves.
Thank you Roostercruiser,
I understand there could be several ROM. I am not asking what is "BEST" rom, if you could just direct me to several ROMs option, that would be helpful ? That's all I need !
Here you go.

Is there any cyanogenmot for Note 3 (AT&T) ?
I found this but it does not say if it is for AT&T or not: http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=hlte
Also, can anyone please give me any link where I can get STOCK AT&T ROM (touch wiz) just in case if I want to go back to stock ROM.
No, there is not a Cyanogenmod ROM for AT&T's locked bootloader on Note 3. Make nandroid of stock version you're already running after you root.
No cyanogen mod for us ... With the locked boot loader we are stuck with Samsung based Roms
