ROOT = Lost IMEI ? - LG Optimus 4X HD

If I would root my P880, will I lose my IMEI ?
Sent from my LG-P880 using xda app-developers app

I rooted my phone at least 10 times when we had not custom roms and I never lost my IMEI so don't worry
Sent from my LG-P880 using xda premium

So i can root it, and can continue to update my device with Lg mobile support tool or lg pc suite with beeing ask : theres not a imei avaiable ?
Sent from my LG-P880 using xda app-developers app

I never used LG PC suite when I was on stock rom but I used LG KDZ update to get v20A , it is faster and you won't be asked anything you only need the .kdz file but it is extremely easy to find. IMO that shouldn't be a problem but I'm not absolutely sure
Anyway man you should try customs roms every customs roms we have are better than the LG stock one, the performance, the customization and all the other stuff are way better on customs roms

Actually, you should not install custom roms without backups. You might lose your IMEI and then you are screwed. Happened with some people who installed cyanogenmod rc 4 and 5.

That's true but the majority of people never had any problems
I tried every (except one or two) roms and i still have my IMEI so just do not flash the RC of CyanogenMod and everything will be OK

Whats the Different between CM and RC CM ?
Sent from my LG-P880 using xda app-developers app

RC stands for release candidate. Its a supposed to be more stable than the nightly versions. Fact is, the nightlies are actually better and more stable.

Yep the last nightly is perfect
You can also flash CM based roms like Jellybeer (best rom I tried) or a lot of other roms which are completely stable

Hmm... but i like lgs 20a stock launcher and widgets and statusbar
Sent from my LG-P880 using xda app-developers app

If you want LG's stock launcher, there's an app you can easily find.
There is also this CM which is customise with a lot of LG's features : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2253129

We need kernel source first for CWM. Motorola uploaded it in a broken tar.gz, so no one can use it.
Jellybean is coming by the end of the year I believe they said. I am working on it... check out the Jellybean RAZR M leak of mine from their xda General section
How stupid is motorola ?! XD
No statement by them?
I really need cwm, it saved my life million times
And since i am running cm 10 on my old p500 lg optimus one i really require jb on my new phone !!!

If you are rooted and unlocked you can make your own backup files for fastboot flashing. CWM is nice but not needed without a kernel source anyway.

thread 1.000.000.000 asking this question.
Ultimate cause you can install cleanest. Safe kernel and format system and data.
Alliance is good, but I always had issues cause I couldnt format. Also not everything was installed as I liked, becausebsome options for install are available onky throught scripts called upon bij installed app, which is why formats arent possible for mounts.
What's good for me maybe your poison, but ultimate is way the best
From box 13......

I've used ultimate since it came out, as my driver. It's the best
From box 13......
all jb based on dumps and leaks have issues currently. Just read the threads, and on none perform a battery pull or your phone wont boot.
the rom today is angry v3................it comes with multiwindow, airview, inkeffect on lock screen and have multiple dpi options u can use tablet mod etc.
I suggest ultimate.but alliance and angry are good too
I only tryed the ultimate and im pleased
Ofcourse these roms are kinda based on leaks so expect some problems but nothing sirious really

There's A LOT of Roms that you can use such as GingerDx for GB,MiniCM9/10 for ICS,JellySony for JB.Remember that you would need to flash the kernel for the rom.

I did.it did not find.sry
But i found it later.is it best stable rom???!!!it has dozens of bugs!i think i should try sth else.can i port a pure cm?
And bytheway which kernels do you suggest?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
i use nobodyatall's jb rom + kernel combo. i have no use for tethering so i can't give you any feedbacks about it. as for memory, you can use a2sd or xdata for playing games, but as i've experienced, class 6 isn't enough (just an opinion). biggest problem with our x8 is ram and hardware.. we can't do much about that.

Sony devices are different, must unlock bootloader to flash a kernel (depending on manufacturing date it might be possible or not)
My manufacturing date is 11w19 (written on the back of phone's motherboard.
If it's written 11w25,11w26 ,11w27 .... 12w01 .....etc... you can't unlock.
Best stable gingerbread rom is GingerDX v029(as my friend said)
{{For better performance freeze some unnecessary system apps with "system tuner"or "titanium backup"}}
Simply Google it to find

what date is on the back of the phone (after taking out the battery)? if it's 11w29+ then i suggest to not unlock bootloader. if you can unlock the bootloader, it's best to flash a custom kernel for the rom you want to use.

Request customization tool

Was wondering if there were any easy to install tweaks for the xperia T jellybean os, that I can flash with cwm
That would allow me to customize many appearence features on statusbar, and threw out the phone? Would need something that will work on a locked bootloader! Maybe even recomendations on a feature packed custom ROM that uses a stock kernal? Thanks.
Sent from my LT30p using xda app-developers app
No
There are no tweak packs, there is a slight custom ROM, stock based so works on locked bootloaders, XperimenT, its in the android development section, its ICS based, a JB version is being worked on
Thanks! Im using Xperiment beta 2. I love how fast the phone runs, and how good my battery is! I just dont see anything different other than the boot screen . Maybe because its a beta?

Yeah it's because it's a beta and the dev wants to get it stable before he adds customizations, also they don't work from ICS so new ways are needed to get it working. Patience
Sent from my LT30p using Tapatalk 2
Fair enough! I might flash the xperimenT ics stable then, quick question tho.. Can I not keep the jb xperimenT backup on my phone, and then swap roms as needed via cwm restore? Would be fairly cool. On the same note, minus the odd crash here and there, the experimenT jb beta is just incredible performance wise.

You may have issues as to swap versions, JB and ICS, a lot of the time you need format sd card, you'll also need to make sure the correct kernel is in place and that you flash the correct cwm+reboot fix, so it is a pain bit doable

to be honest i don't see the point getting CM10.x and wanting all the stock stuff....
maby you could try a different kernel like iodak/werewolf on your stock rom. To get a lot of settings done on the cpu/gpu side.
it will improve your batterylife and preformance in my opinion and still having all the "great" options from stock.
just my 2 cents.
Wim
Now that i think, you are totally right, it havnt any point change to aosp like CM, and conserv stock stuff.. What i want to, is to have a better rom, improve the battery, something smother and diferent, Than my Phone go faster that it can, conserving those kind of stuff that i mentioned before. You recomend me to install a diferent kernel? On a OS stock 4.1.2? How can i do that? Or if you know a rom with all The caracteristics that i want to, but whit The versión 4.2.2 o if is 4.1.2 be something that you can say: WOW i love it *-* Jaja.
