To be able to install CM10.l1 u need to upgrade ur phone to jellybean via LG mobile support tool or LG PC suit , then u need to root it , unlock it and install CWM v 6.0.3.1 then flash CM10.1 zip file .
U can use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2256392 it will root, and unlock ur phone with few clicks but don't forget to do all that after upgrading ur system cause ICS 4.0.3 has unlockable bootloader and u will end up briking ur phone.

[Q] help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so i just rooted my lg optimus 4x hd (ics 4.0.3) and then i flashed a cm 10.2 rom and i think i forgot to unlock the bootloader first, and now when i reboot my phone it gets to this screen ( 2 pictures attached) where there is the lg logo and some red writing,
it said: [LGE_SECURITY] ERROR: boot image signature
Critical failure: Unable to start kernel.
Unrecoverable bootloader error (0x00000002).
so can anyone please help me :crying:
First help: Edit your post and put a more descriptive title, to attract the people who might be able to help you. With the current title, the entire thread will get skipped by most of us. Hint: Unrecoverable bootloader error after flashing CM 10.2 would be a good example.
Some of people hate noobs.. there so tech e tech.. I'm a Noob myself. .they want u to beg for answers. . Saying stuff like. No I won't help u until u do this r that. . Anyway read and watch YouTube videos. .read..read..read some more. .what I did

You need to be on Stock v4.1.2 ROM before you can do any of this stuff.
Search please as it has been covered countless times in this forum.

Dear My,Friend(s)
I decided to change my android version form official (4.03) to 4.4.4 kitkat , and i flashed CWM recovery before unlocking boot loader.
so I can not access my recovery mode of my 4X LG phone. ( with power and volume down keys)
also when Rom manager tried to boot downloaded recovery following error appears above the LG logo,
"boot image signature Critical failure: Unable to start kernel. Unrecoverable boot loader error (0x00000002)."
i thick i did it with out rooting of phone.
so the big problem is when i want to rest factory from the setting of phone, above metion erorr is appeared again.
i think you had same problem too,
I will appreciate if you help me to fix this problem.
thanks

i did it when i was 4.1 with root masters app, see a tutorial do 2 clicks and will be rooted, download supersu from playstore, update the binary and if i dont remember bad the app will ask you if you want to use this for all root permission, push yes, (if the root masters app asks you something when you are doing this push yes and after this you will can erase all the apps and the app of root masters, its really easy, but see a guide for if i didn t sayed something.

[Q] Need some help

Hey, im a newbie here in the forum, but i got some knowledge in the android world
I have a Lg Optimus 2X rooted on 4.0.4, and im a little confused about some things...
i want to install ClockwordMod, but i dont know how... i open rom manager 5.5 and i find my device on the list (lg p990) i fond it and then i downloaded the CWM but when it reaches 100% it looks like nothing gets installed :s i dont know what is happening. i found another ways to do this (running .bat files on my pc, but it doesn't work either) you guys have a clue why is this happening?
i want to install cyanogenmod 10.1, and i know i need CWM... but in their website they say: You must use the Gingerbread bootloader and partition layout in order to use CyanogenMod. The ICS firmware is NOT compatible.
my question is: i have lg original 4.0.4, this means i have to downgrade right? i have to downgrade maybe to 2.3 right? ^
(by the way sorry about my english, im from portugal )
thanks to all
well if you get nothing then it means it is for the old gb bootloader if you have a pink lg logo then you are on the new bootloader so find roms for thenew one or you can downgrade but dont forget your internalsd wil be wiped.
look in the development forum for the aio toolkit and dont forget to install apx drivers hope this could help you

thx a lot for the quick responses

1. try going into recovery and do a factory reset.
2. if that doesn't help, reflash and all your problems are solved.
do a clockwork mod backup before messing around next time

Use LG mobile support tool, also its "stuck" not "stock"
What are you on? He needs to reflash the rom as he changed the fonts and some may be missing, happens to loads of people, no need for a factory reset, just restore the fonts folder or reflash the rom, if you don't have an unlocked bootloader, bite the bullet, unlock ya bootloader and come over to AOSP in which i would recommend a 4.2.2 ROM.. or do the long winded way of flashing the stock Rom, your all giving some real extreme methods, it doesn't have to be this complicated..

As you followed a guide that just ripped DooMLoRD's work from XDA, you most probably flashed the wrong kernel for your firmware, which is the cause of your problem.
Get the correct kernel from here, which is the source of the guide and files that website is using.

So you have unlocked a bootloader. Could you please tell me what method did you used to unlocked your bootloader? Did you use FlashTool or the "fastboot" command in adb?
And based on your first post, I have to say that you have lost your DRM keys. Without DRM keys Bravia Engine won't work.

I can't really give a suggestion. "Best ROM" depends on personal preferences. Since I am currently using CM11, I must say it works really great on my device. However, some people face problem with it such as being it laggy and everything. I hope you won't face the same thing.
Actually I have a guide that will solve your problem.
BUT BEFORE THAT please read everything there. Please follow the requirements. You may ignore any bootloader-related points. Since your bootloader is unlocked, you can skip guide number 1, and directly proceed to the section "Fastbooting DoomLord's kernel" in guide number 2. Then proceed normally afterwards. Get a CM M10 snapshot here. Psst, M11 is getting near!
Now you may go to the guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-sp/general/guide-flashing-custom-roms-ultimate-xsp-t2888579
in order to downgrade , should i just follow 1b ??

Yes if you want to downgrade you may just and only follow 1b. However needless to say, if your bootloader is unlocked, there's no more need to backup your TA partition

Your problem might have be something to do with APN. Just contact your service provider, and get an internet configuration. That will work for you
In Stock SONY, there is an-already method that will fetch internet config. Sadly there's no such thing in custom ROMs.
Or to make matters difficult, you can find someone with the same service provider like you, open their phone's settings, find "APN" in Mobile Networks, and copy all settings hand-by-hand to your phone.
