[Q] Rooting my Canadian LG optimus 4X - LG Optimus 4X HD

Hey guys, I'm quite new here, I've tried rooting my LG Optimus 4X HD when I first got it, that didn't work.
So I waited a couple months hoping there was a way to root it, and I still cannot find a way.
I've tried many methods.
Methods I've tried:
One with the o4xr (I think) files.
Downgrade with KDZ
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2180688
I'm confused what to do anymore.
My phone is the LG Optimus from Wind Mobile.
Any help is appreciated,
Vintage

Why do people keep on asking here without searching? The Canadian version - P880G has no support on here because there are no devs with that model and it is different from the standard model, no bootloader unlock is available. Keep hassling LG or Wind for answers, but asking the same questions every two weeks on XDA won't achieve anything.

Last method you try to root is for 4X on Jelly Bean- v20 and canadian version do not have Jelly Bean at the moment- v10F is the latest firmware for your phone, and all other methods are for p880 (European phones)
Read this whole thread before doing things (especially post # 9) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37009159, just to say that you need to be on v10c firmware and than use voodo root keeper if you also want to have root after updating to v10F. And you need to use ONLY firmware for canadian P880G not p880 phones.
If you have v10C on phone you are lucky because as i known v10C for manually download is restricted for some reasons, if you on v10F you need to find wind mobile v10c to manually downgrade!
Good luck!
You also have Root Many Android method - find it in index post here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36676469#post36676469

To root the P880g, you must start by running v10c on your phone. As mentioned, that firmware version can't be downloaded from the official LG repository, but there are mirrors available (search and poke around these forums).
Use this method to root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460
You can then do an OTA upgrade to v10f after using a root keeper. Follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37268564&postcount=12
If you have a developer model, you probably won't be able to upgrade OTA, and instead will have to use your computer to flash a KDZ. If that's the case, you can't keep root. There is no way to avoid it, and you'll be limited to using v10c if you want root.
A comment by LG on their Facebook page said that Jelly Bean is coming to the P880G, and hopefully it includes the unlocked bootloader so we can join in the fun with all the other 4X owners.

[Q] How to upgrade to V10f

I am using LG O4X and get rooted the phone.
In a few days, I got software updates to install and do it. However, it got failed to upgrade for the reason of rooted condition. Even though I unroot it, it failed also.
How to get and install the updates?
My phone informaiton: Android 4.0.3, baseband L6260_MODEM_SIC_02.1216.01, Kernel 2.9.39.4 build IML74k V10c
download v10f.kzf and see the instructions

[Q] L70 flash 10c firmware over branded 10a fw

[Q] Seriously I can't unlock my bootloader D410 V10b

First of all I can't do a single step right now unless I'm very sure. For this is my only phone and I'm afraid to brick it.
I can't afford another one, we are not all rich .
My problem is that I can't unlock my bootloader on my phone
LG L90 D410 V10B
YEAH
The reason is that there is no aboot patch for the v10b model.
I already asked this question a lot times in different threads and some tell that:
a) It is safe to use the v10c (some users are reporting that v10c work fine);
b) NO!!! NEVER flash a different aboot for your unit;
c) Try updating to v10c then flash aboot ;
software says my system os is up to date
d) Then why just don't I update using KDZ?;
Cheers! Melancholic feeling still for my IMEI returns only a v10b software
e) envy all the cm11 users LOL just kidding.
I think IMHO that:
a) If i can just obtain the v10c or v10d kdz file somehow;
b) Borrow an IMEI (which is not nice) with the v10c links;
c) Miraculously an aboot for v10b appears;
d) or if I could just generate the aboot for v10b (which in I accept the fact that I cannot do that)
Please help me
Thanks in advance
Please correct me if something is wrong in above post.

Same here but purchased via Amazon UK..
I'm interested in crossflashing LG V40. I did that on LG V30+ twice. Here is the XDA topic: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v30/how-to/using-lgup-crossflashing-t3780969
My YouTube Tutorial:
I had LG V30+ (us998) on Sprint and all the bloatwares. I used patched LGUP & DLL file and flash ls998 witch is unlocked V30 kdz. Ot worked prefect. Then i tried to flash some another kdz file, didn't succeed, brick the phone. But then i use CHIP erase and tried to flash ls998 (unlocked) on it. And it worked but that delete serial number and other details. Bc i did chip erase. But phone worked fine at the end?

Stock firmware with unlocked Sprint version

Hi guys. I bought an unlocked Sprint LG V40 (V405UA). I am from Argentina and it works perfect in my country with my SIM card, but the problem is that it has the Sprint firmware and it is in Android 8.1 and it won't update if i am not with Sprint contract i think. I'd like to have the stock global firmware and get OTA updates (Android pie at least). I see a page called "lg-firmwares.com" with all models firmwares and tutorials, but i am noob in this matter and i don't want to "brick" my phone or lose the unlocked condition. If i follow the "lg-firmwares.com" tutorial and flash the Android pie firmware for my model, can i brick my phone or lock it again? or it is secure and everythink will be ok?
Thanks.

Okay you have 3 ways to do this.
1st. If rooted/Unlocked Bootloader: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v40/how-to/guide-crossflash-unlocked-pie-to-t3944359
2nd If rooted/Unlocked Bootloader: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v40/how-to/guide-make-lg-v40-compatible-lgup-t3953120
3rd I personally haven't tried this yet: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v40/development/lg-1-16-t3967559
With the 3rd one you should just simply be able to flash any KDZ but you should make sure it's compatible first.
But once you Crossflash no more OTA's you would have to download NEW KDZ and flash it over the one your on.

https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v40/how-to/guide-lgup-root-t3967858 This Guide i made should help you with your 3rd question. That we have seen no you shouldn't loose Sim unlock if it's factory unlocked or if you carrier unlocked it for you after so many months being active with them. You always loose your data when KDZ flashing. You wont get OTA updates if you Crossflash...if you stay with your current rom OTA's should be possible
If you're using a us carrier phone outside of the us, you should just forget about ota. It won't work. Do yourself a favor and learn about the various flash methods. You're gonna need one of them at least to keep it updated.
Thanks guys. It sucks that it's imposible for me to get OTA updates, but at least i can try flashing my phone to keep it updated. I will check the guide and learn more about it then. Anyways i think this is an amazing phone and a bargain for the price nowadays..
