Hi everyone,
I read on other forums that the Optimus 4X bootloader is locked!
means it will be impossible to make the root or something needs to unlock it and then make the root?
Very interesting information, so does have Optimus 4X really locked bootloader?
Or where do you read about it?
Thanks.
Yes, where did you read this?

Do you mean answer "yes" that Optimus 4X have locked bootloader or do you answering on the first question about root?

My question was whether the locked bootloader means that there will never be the root...
I understand, but my reaction was on the post from axepted, if he mented "yes" on the fact that the Optimus 4X have locked bootloader.
So, the question is still here: do Optimus 4X have a locked bootloader?
Even if it is locked, it doesn't mean root is impossible.
The HTC Sensation had a locked bootloader and we still got root

Its OK.
Me too wondering, where do you read nikokazaa that the bootloader is locked?
Because what I know only HTC is locking bootloaders and it was one of the main reasons to plan a buy of Optimus 4X for me.

At the end of this video the LG Rep said it will have locked bootloader.
So, very sad info :crying:

I call fake on that screenshot, heres why. I could the same. Move a screenshot i took on my note of super use then load this on my Optimus 4x hd....
If you do really have root, please share
I found some ROOT tutorial for Optimus 4X.
Owners of 4X, you can try if it will work?
It looks simple.

Its already been established that its a fake just out to get your money
A bootlocker will not say it isn't possible to root the phone.
My Asus transformer prime has bootlocker but I've rooted it. Just have to wait to someone find a solution.

Hello, I am a follower of your forum, and I want to thank and congratulate all the help they provide, but for you even would use eclair: D I have the following question, my phone is 11w35, and would unlock the bootloader, but I'm afraid meet with a hard brick, I have read all the guidelines on the matter, and I would like to know your opinion on the matter, which method would you recommend to do it? that I have a chance to survive if I risk my phone? I did the check with s1tool and gives me the message SEMC simlock certificate, so I can do that ... according but still I have my doubts ..
another question ... if I do the process and failure ... is there any way we can know that my smartphone died for trying to unlock the bootloader? I'm from chile: D and good that, thanks for the help
PS: sorry for my writing, I am using the google translator, and also apologize if this goes here, not sure where you post it
Greetings and thanks again for your help
the risk is of hardbrick is there since your on 11w29 above.so stay on stock kernel.goodluck
sent from my x8™ using gingerDX®
You can try it, but the risk of having a hardbrick is big because you have a phone that is w29+ and w29+ phones have patched the bootloader exploit.

well ... if you try unlocking the bootloader .... 2 things can happen ...
1. success - a but better phone
2. fail - no phone
Don't try you will have hard brick...my opinion...

If u are going to do it, find a guy who own jtag box. It would be better if he will be a friend of ur. Cause then u can unbrick it for free if it hardbricked.

Can the bootloader unlocking sim-unlock your x8? Via Flashtool? Why is it my x8 still requiring a code for other sim/network to be use?

You need to be on v20a, you can use the hacked kdz method as that's what I did. Then in dialer type in 3845#*880# then go to version info and look at software version. If it says euro xxx you can unlock if it doesn't then you most likely can't.

You're right, my mistake... Others already answered, my only advice is to pay attention to the tutorial don't do nothing you're not aware. A few persons already brick they devices, some still having problems to fix them. Take care and good luck.

yeah good advice to double check everything and importantly make a quick backup would also be my advice,best of luck
Everyone thanks for the patience! I know how to do it right now. But not sure if I want to do

If you just follow the instructions, two things can happend:
Unlock the bootloader, or not...
Allways able to go back to V10x or remain in V20A.
Now, if you start to mess with other commands and files and programs (like nvflash), than you might have a problem.

Try Flashing a Euro Open found here http://lg-phone-firmware.com/ with kdz flash tool.......and please stop making so many threads about each and every question. And if you must do it then post it Q & A section. Thanks.
Ok, i will try that out. Should i flash over the existing v20a, or downgrade first...??

I do not think that you need to downgrade to 10H for that ....... If it does not work then you can downgrade to 10H but I am quite sure that it will work and you won't lose any data.
Good Luck.
You cant get eur xxx. Why would you want anyway?

Sorry to hijack the thread :good:
Did you manage to get your phone onto the EURO Firmware or you just unlocked your current firmware ?
To unlock the phone and install a custom ROM I take it that you must root the device first so :-
1) root
2) Unlock
3) cwm
4) custom rom
I am coming from a Galaxy S2 which I did not have to root just use ODIN so thats why I am asking because I want to go straight to custom CM10
I unlocked 262-001..... And
