[Q] What does the locked bootloader?

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.

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.

[Three-Button Recovery mode] v28C (ICS)

Hi all !
On the new ROM (v20C) was found that there is Three-Button Recovery mode.
Hold down the G + Volume Up + Power Button and so enter this mode.
And G + Volume down + Power Button - reset settings.
:good:

What does it do..? I Just got A message Like in screenshot and nothing happened...

The fact that we were able to enter the mode Retsovery means that unlocked bootloader.
With this mode, you can install any firmware and kernel without fearing the consequences. You need to choose software for this. Need help developers.

You have adb root if I'm not mistaken. ( adbd i started as root in script in official recovery image)
Maybe the security error comes from incompatibility of how recovery is started.

Oh boy, if only I had that 1 year ago.

Fine...

Cool !

In this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgV45tdW-mQ man used Three-Button Recovery mode and install rom through the program Odin.
Whether it is possible to make also at us?

Not yet. I don't think it's necessary since we can always just use old bootloader thats unlocked and modify kernel to be compatible.

[Q] Atrix ROMs?

I was looking forward to buying this phone instead of the GS3 as I'm on T-Mobile. However, when I was browsing through the Development section I don't see anything. Can anyone inform me on why this phone doesn't have that much ROM support yet?

Locked boot loader my man. We have root now. Root and safestrap are pretty recent, so that's why there are limited ROMs. We couldn't root for a while, but now we can, but only if you stay on ICS to root before upgrading to the leaked JB.

Another thing is that we only have 8Gb of internal storage, thus leaving little room for ROM slots on the internal sdcard using SS3 recovery.
I just finished an internal/external memory swap script in the DEV section, so this should help free up some space for ROMs.

There are two different Atrix HD ROM's out as of 12/02/2012. Must not have looked very hard.
Don't expect Development on a Locked Bootloader.

Yes, I've rooted, installed safestrap, made a back up. Haven't tried that script to switch internal and external memory yet, sounds scary.
Just saw on Engadget that Razr HD and Razr HD Maxx just got 4.1 official. Hope that comes to Atrix HD too (and all carriers).

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.

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.

Need Help Bootlooping

Hey guys, so I was easily able to unlock the bootloader. However, the problems began when I flashed recovery. After that I have been getting only bootloops. Thus, I did a factory reset, which fixes it, however, once I restart or turn the phone off the bootloops start again. Which means I am constantly factory resetting my phone. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I am able to get into recovery without it. But I can't get the app becasue i cant get into the app store.

thanks for all your help!! I think i may have got it. I reflashed recovery then rebooted the bootloader, then booted into recovery through the bootloader, then wiped everything. It seems to boot now and I am able to restart and shut down without a problem. Hopefully it sticks. Thanks again for taking the time I really appreciate it.
