[Q] Root guide - fake or not?

Does anyone know if this root guide for Optimus 4x hd, posted by several people at youtube, is fake or not?
Link to the root guide:
crackmyass.com/2012/06/lg-4x-hd-root-tutorial.html
Thanks in advance

link not working... 404..

just insert www infront of link

can some-one download that script, and attach here? i can't download from http://fileurl.me

I call BS on this, the file download site only lets you dowload if you complete a competition (where the entries cost £5 each), or you buy a premium credit.
Also notice how the three comments sound very similar and are posted within 5 mins of the article. Google isnt that fast at indexing.
I think it is someone out to make a quick buck on people looking for root on this device.

I've got in touch with Dan Rosenburg who has rooted other LG phones and he is interested in helping but needs to talk to someone who has the handset, unfortunately I'm still waiting on the delivery of mine at the moment.
PM me if you want his email.

It's definitely a scam,there was a tutorial on the tube a week ago which also pointed to this location and wanted you to participate in a so called "survey" before letting you download anything.
BEWARE!!

Well it got me creating a new e-mail address for spam mails, completing one of the surveys, only to end up looking like a jackass. Completing the survey didn't bring forth any download link.
Before starting the survey I studied the source code of the site, including some .JS files, and couldn't find any sign of code to generate the download link, so I guess I was warned.

As far as i know, there is not a root exploid for our LG P880
The only way to get a reliable root function on our device is to develop it here.
I tried several existing methods to do it but with no luck.
I think we need to extract the full rom implement the root function and upload it back to the device or...
Try to develop a update.xxx with or without CWM and use this to root or...
Maybe we can use NVFLASH to reach our goal...
The word is to our LG experts here on the board who already rooted a LG, and give us a direction to go to...
Hopefully we get a breakthrough soon because i realy need to kill some autostarts here...

I'm counting on xda dev right now, hope someone can root this device soon. ^^

What about plain root privilege escalation bugs? I'm thinking of Mempodipper, which is younger than the 2.6.39.4 kernel on the O4X. I would try it myself, but I don't have a toolchain for the android platform, and didn't want to buy the C4Droid App for nothing. ^^

Ubuntu Phone OS on LG Optimus 4xHD -> Progress

Hi All,
I am the person that someone made a thread about saying that I was attempting the impossible and porting Ubuntu Phone OS on an LG Optimus 4xHD. I was waiting for the bootloader unlock however my attempts at unlocking the bootloader failed and in the attempt to do so cause my bootloader to update to 262-000. I eventually got fed up with the try and decided to try it without the unlock.
I have now got Ubuntu Phone OS running but only from the ADB shell (so no UI at the moment) and am soon publishing a video and uploading the zips and instructions of how I did it so that other developers can help me get the UI working.
News will be posted at the following link.
elbuntuprojects.com/articles/
And tonight I will be uploading the documentation of how I managed to get as far as I have.
If any developers want to help keep watching this space and ill update you as soon as the stuff needed is online.
Note: This is only for people who dont need the phone at the moment as its purely the command line so ubuntu_chroot and co so not for everyone....
Updates soon, just thought I would give an update,

It absolutely will, ive tried a couple of times but had trouble getting it to boot, its not high on my priority list because ubuntu-touch itself it still in its infancy (think how long it took google to get android to a useable state), building it at the moment is just for the novelty

Interesting thing is that about half a year ago, at around 13.04 upgrade, when I ported Ubuntu Touch to my Galaxy R, everything worked like a charm with really minor changes, but on the O4X it's hardly even booting.

In those days it was still in an early stage, so they still haven't make massive mods that have been now applied.
I'm working on it too, and it's more difficult than I thought, even if it's based on CM 10.1.
I succesfully compiled it without hard-to-fix errors, but had a bootloop at kernel/ramdisk-level.
Any thought about what could cause it?

[REQUEST] Official V20x Firmwares

Hi @ all
now that LG has officially released JB for our device,
I would really like to see the available .kdz files
in some thread to download, because
I installed the unofficial V20A on my phone
which leads into the situation that I cant
update to official V20A through LG Mobile Support Tool :silly:
Would be nice if someone could do that

I found one myself through the rom linker by cmahendra,
but I think it would be way easier if they would be right here
in the original android development section as downloads
(or links)
One last question: If I make a backup through Orange Backup
and then officially unlock the device, am I able to get back all of my
data partition on the official V20A with unlocked bootloader?

Its enough to use the LG Backup that you have installed on the phone.
Off course some apps, like Navigon, RealRacing3 or others like that that you might have, will need to download data again in order to work again but,
most part of the apps will be working. Also contacts, messages, etc... check the options on the "Backup".

[Q] Messed up flash what do I do next

I have a friends LG 2X and it was originally on froyo then i officially upgraded to gingerbread then unofficially uses smart flash to flash the ICS KDZ file and now I can't flash anythink including every version of clockworkMOD! please advise me on what to do! I'm going to try repartitioning with the "NEW" partition table.
more info: its randomly factory resting and rebooting, being really slow and sluggish and generally useless

I can give you a big list to try.....almost 95% of them are stable.....but you have to try it yourself and find out. 2013 is one of the best years for O2X for having a variety of ROMs....CM based, Stock based, PAC, and so on
nothing is wrong....be proud of this device which is almost unbrickable......so recover it and start enjoying it.

[Q] Can someone teach me how to port CM to desire C cdma (golfc)?

I've been waiting for someone to post a port of cm for my version of my phone but i just can't seem to find anything. And i want to take the initiative to bring my favorite android flavor to my phone.
My phone is rooted and i have a back up of stock.
i would also like to port Ubuntu touch but i guess one step at a time.
i also read the wiki "how to port CM" and i've gotten stuck, i just really don't know what im doing and would like a helping hand.
Thanks for your time.

You need to have the same base to port roms. You cant port a CM10 golfu without a build CM10 golfc

well if that is so. then where are the roms for golfc? or are you talking of the other way around?
other than your confusing answer does that mean not willing to teach/help me?

Change the Ril? and then have a kernel which supports that Ril? @soupmagnet was working on this kind of thing, think it's a lost cause as only like 3 people ever bought a golfc (not sure that even is it's codename tbh)

Have you got an unlocked bootloader? and have you got a recovery? If so, try flashing my SHTD and then flashing NOPE/Prometheus and tell me what the outcome is.. SHTD has cdma i think..

Well, after hanging around here for a little while, I learned that you were definitely not exaggerating when you said less than a handful of people have the golfc and want to customize it. I have a new addition to my family, and with the new moderator duties and the Kindle Fire support I already provide, I just don't have the time to devote towards getting a working ROM for just 3 people. The golfc is cheap anyway and I just gave it to my wife because there's not much fun to be had with a phone that is only rooted and still has S-ON. Note to self: Never buy another HTC phone.
I still have a working root for it (Linux) if anyone needs it, but it's just a modified version of Bin4ry's "Root Many Android" (used with permission of course), and anyone with a little scripting knowledge can easily make his exploit work for them on pretty much any OS.
I'm sorry I couldn't be of more assistance

There is currnently no official GolfC forum. Since this is a GolfU only 1 or 2 ROMs will work on the GolfC.
Base: I mean a source built ROM with the device tree edited to the according specifics.
There is no device tree for the GolfC Neither is there a base to use because of that fact.
I have no experience in building device trees therefore I don't really have the ability to help you.
You could try SHTD (fuk u Olli <3) but be careful of bricking your device. I heard that installing GolfU recoveries and boot imgs will brick your device.
Make sure you have a backup of the current ones. Please.
If you do something that makes your phone melt or turn into a ring that wants to get melted in a volcano, don't hold me responsible.
I gave you all the information you asked for, if there is anything else go ahead and reply =3

Um, it can't be done by us, unless you learn to build from source (use google) and learn to configure RILs (google it) then simply no, it cannot be done, bad luck having a CDMA device /: I think that's 2 to the tally of CDMA now..
GSM: 7k+?
CDMA: 2-5
