You can download official CWM recovery. Search here: http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager for LG Optimus 4X HD.
Then you can install with terminal, fastboot or sth else - I don't remeber well.
Then the fun starts. (On XDA look for ROMs and kernels)
And read the instructions carefully.
Unlock ur bootloader 1st!

Agreed but after reading posts on how to install, it requires an unlocked bootloader. is it necessary or can it be done without unlocking bootloader ?

It can be done without unlocked bootloader, but then you will be unable to install custom ROMs. So if you're on stock JB, unlock bootloader if you want (warrany will be woid).
That's not hard first you must root tour phone then install rom manager choose tour phone from it flash recovery reboot in it then flash zip file that's all

I have rooted my phone.. so, what your trying to say is that i can go the regular way, like install clockwordmod recovery and then flash a custom rom without unlocking bootloader ?

First you need to unlock your bootloader after that you can Install CWM or TWRP.
After doing all this you can Instal CM or any other ROM.
If you try to install the CWM or TWRP without unlocking the bootloader you will get the boot signature error and you won't be able to boot into recovery (please correct me if I am wrong.)
Don't Forget to make nondorid backup before you try installing any ROM in case you know what I mean
and next time post it in Q & A thread please..
Have fun mate.
yes you will get an boot image signature if you install cwm or twrp with locked bootloader
the only way to flash a custom rom on an locked bootloader is to adjust the rom to the stock kernel and device and the flash it via a bootstrap( like dexter did it)
but nobody is going to do it if you have tje possibility to unlock your BL seems that you have to stay at stock rom if you don't have the know how how to do it

It's not a trick, but it is pointless for a high end device as all it will do is increase lag and kill the SD Card due to the high amount of writes.

Hi guys
Can any one tell me how to root nexus one 2.3.6 ,i have locked boatloader.
zahid
Try SuperOneClick
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
or unlock the bootloader, fastboot custom recovery and flash ROM of choice.

Use this. I just rooted my stock 2.3.6 nexus using this method. Takes less then a minute once everything is downloaded. Just make sure to extract all the files into the same location as the adb.exe file. Usually its in android/platform-tools.
Good luck and let us know if you have any questions.
BTW it does not unlock you bootloader either!

You're good to go. Just install a custom recovery
CWM or Amon Ra, you can install them via Rom Manger.
hi
I tried to install custom ROM but when phone reboot it stuck on "triangle android" seems first i have to unlock my boatloader.
Can you post me link..
It means that you didn't flash the file that removes stock recovery reinstaller - and stock recovery is reinstalled on stock ROM boot.
Reboot back to ROM, root again, this time when you reboot to recovery first time, flash the file. It's found in Nexus One Wiki, section "Recovery".

Its not at all necessary to unlock the bootloader. Did u install custom recovery before flashing a custom rom? I think u skipped that step.
Simple and best way for starters like us is to
1.root via super one click root
2. Install rom manager from market and wid the help of that, flash clockworkmod(cwm) recovery.
3. Install Titanium backup from market and do a backup up of ur apps.
4. Choose the correct rom of ur choice by reading the OP and the thread.
5. Download it and install it via rom manager.
6. Before that back up your current rom and wipe the system,cache,dalvik cache.
Thats it, u r good to go. :thumbup:
This is how i did n doing good
PS: Am just a newbie, so if there's any mistakes in my steps pls correct me.

Hi all,
I bought an Xperia T recently and I discover my locked bootloader when I rooted it.
Today since 2 weeks of testing my official .195 rooted rom I found that the phone is an energy eater.
So I tryed to find an upgrade of my phone with a custom rom and a custom kernel.
Obviously it's not possible, or I am not able to do it. When I'm flashing a new rom via CWM + flash CWM flashable and RebootFix no rom start.
So I would like to know which roms are flashable on a locked bootloader ?
Is there a list ? Which types of rom can I put to my phone ?
Regards,
N3o

You cannot use a custom kernel on a locked bootloader, so any rom that requires its own kernel you can not use (e.g CM, AOKP, PA etc)
There are a few roms you can use, one is mine and the other actually says in the thread title its for locked bootloaders. Its by hackitz. Look in the development thread.
As for a list, I currently have a list of all available roms for our devices in the all in one thread in the Q&A section, however, it does require a bit of reorganising and I am due to get round to it soon.
I will oranise it into
Device/LB or ULB/Version
Untill then I suggest you can try any stock based ROM. Follow the T/TX link in my signature to find mine.
EDIT, Now that I have ANSWERED your QUESTION, have a guess which section it should have been posted in

Hmm, Someone mentioned that ages ago in my rom thread, not sure what it is because I dont have it on my phone. Have a search in that thread. Which phone do you have? Try turning data on and off.
To centre the clock you need a new framework, you could look in the theme and app section for a new lockscreen, but I didnt bother to centre it as I dont mind it over on the right.
This is the 3g+ icon that is not correctly inserted (i think because france have 2g/3g/3g+ and H+ logos)
I try to get a correction or I change the lockscreen if I can't move the clock.

I have been looking around here the last 2 days since I purchased a new white LT30p (9.1.A.0.489 firmware, 3.4.0 kernel, 6.0.1.2 CWM, locked bootloader). Great screen and Fast. I wanted to know if there are any roms that I could flash that have the CM/T-Mobile theme chooser. I don't want to unlock it due to it having to be done through Sony, so unless there is a rom I can flash with theme chooser or another way to unlock it,I guess I'll throw it on eBay, take loss and buy an unused white Arc S. Thanks.

You really haven't given much informaton to go on. Basics with any help request;-
What are you trying to achieve?
What version are you running?
What ROM were you on before?
Rooted?
Bootloader locked or unlocked?
What recovery have you installed?
EXACT error message - this is the single most important detail!!
There are plenty of guides around if you are trying to get from 'Stock' to CM10.1;-
Upgrade to 'Stock' JB first
Root
Unlock bootloader
Install CWM (v6.0.3.1)
Install CM from zip
Install gApps from zip

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.

Hey to all XDA Users, I hope you are in good spirit today!
I am back again!
When I was flashing my HTC HD2 everyday I was close to a Professor now I upgraded to Xperia Z1 and I am stupid again as F...!
The Z1 I think is an awesome device but I am really disappointed for many reasons.
I can't select Governors and Frequences for low consumption of energy.
I can't put data folders on External microSD and use the internal Storage for Apps ONLY. (I am already out of storage).
I can't use many app because the OS is not rooted.
I don't have many Option in Settings to improve the Phone.
It's slow.
Drain Battery.
...ecx....
So like any Android Phone the best way to make it fly is to flash some good ROM.
How?
I was reading in the forum about some tricks to put the phone in some condition to flash the available roms but I really will be glad if someone can explain to me all the process to How flash the Rom.
I know is a stupid question but flash the Z1 is not even close to what I was doing with my old friend HD2 and I want to be sure to do all well.
Thanx in advance.

Awesome, Thanx Man for send me in the right direction, now I can start from something.
You Right, I was looking to flash some nice CM, AOSP Rom but I have to unlock the bootloader and I heard about camera issue, like I told to gregbradley I probably will wait until the problem will be solved and for now I will try some rooted stock rom.
