[GUIDE][ROOT] How to Root your LG Optimus 4X HD (O4X P880) - LG Optimus 4X HD

UPDATE: Unfortunately I no longer own this handset so am unable to test it against newer firmwares. If you find that this method does not work on firmware newer than V10D, try downgrading first.
I would like to begin this post, by saying that I did not come up with this method, but wanted to get it written up as a proper thread as soon as possible for people to start enjoying root on their phones!
This method was tested successfully by me on an EU phone running V10D. I am not responsible for what you do to your device after reading this guide. You undertake any actions at your own risk!
If you want to thank someone, please thank qaz753 who posted the method for this here.
All files needed are attached, the guide below is for Windows, but Linux and Mac scripts are included in the zip. (If certain files are not permitted to be attached, MODs please excuse and PM me, and I will look into hosting them myself)
GUIDE
Download, Unzip and Install the LG USB Driver.
Download and extract the Root kit (o4xr.zip) to "C:\o4xr"
Download and copy "IS11LG_SystemBackupTest.signed.apk" to your phone
On your phone, go to "Settings -> Security" and make sure "Unknown Sources" is TICKED
Go to "Settings -> Developer options" and make sure "USB debugging" is TICKED
Install "IS11LG_SystemBackupTest.signed.apk"
Open the "SystemBackupTest" app you just installed.
Hold the power button and choose "Power off and restart".
When you can see the lock screen, you may notice that the phone is running very slowly, this is normal.
Connect your phone via USB to your computer.
Make sure the phone is in "Charging Only" mode.
Open a command prompt (may need admin privelages, right click, run as administrator)
Type without quotes "cd C:\o4xr" and press enter.
Type without quotes "root" and press enter.
Wait while the script runs, and the phone will reboot automatically.
You should then see the command prompt "C:\o4xr>".
Uninstall the "SystemBackupTest" app on your phone. (Do NOT re-open it, or you will need to run the script again).
On your phone, open up Google Play Store and search for "SuperSU".
Update SuperSU then open it.
Press OK to update the SU binary.
You now have root and can safely restore the "Unknown Sources" and "USB debugging" settings back to how you had them!
The root kit and apk may contain other peoples work, I did a quick search to try and find the original sources but to no avail. If this is your work, please PM me and I will be more than happy to add your name to this post and give credit where its due.
HAVING ISSUES?
Try disabling any Anti-Virus you have running
Uninstall or disable any screen filters/adjusters
You can safely re-enable and re-install the above once you have completed root
If your device is really slow, make sure "USB Debugging" is ticked, then run in a command prompt:
REALLY SLOW AFTER ROOT?
Remove the "SystemBackupTest" app, if you haven't already.
On your phone, go to "Settings -> Developer options" and make sure "USB debugging" is TICKED
Connect your phone via USB to your computer.
Make sure the phone is in "Charging Only" mode.
Open a command prompt (may need admin privelages, right click, run as administrator)
Type without quotes "cd C:\o4xr" and press enter.
Type without quotes "adb shell rm /data/local.prop" and press enter.
Type without quotes "adb reboot" and press enter.
THANKS

3. you choose USB debugging on your 4X (Setting>Developer options>USB debugging)
4. Install and run the IS11LG_SystemBackupTest.signed.apk
5. reboot manually(after reboot, 4x becomes very slow!)
6.connect 4x to PC and run the command prompt
cd c:\onxr -> root

Did you make sure "Unknown Sources" is ticked under Settings -> Privacy?
Otherwise can you post a screenshot of what you are seeing? (Press and hold Vol Down + Power at the same time)

Works on v10b?

i can show this screen but can't type the install..
but the cancel key is ok
i've ticked the unknow sources

So I assume the Install button does nothing?
I noticed you have avast running, can you disable it, and then try again? It may be blocking it.

I will try this, looking forward for the all the possibility for this phone

I tried to stop the anti-virus. But still not work..

That does seem a bit strange. Its not even greyed out, so I can't understand why it wouldn't install.
Have you tried rebooting the phone and trying again? Also where is the apk located, just on the SD card?

10A works!

Bravo!

ADB Driver - Access is Denied

So I just installed Windows 7 on my machine and was trying to ADB with my Android since I used it ALL the time on Windows XP.
I put the phone in Debug mode and plugged into my computer and told it the location of the driver. It seems to work well for a second and then it tells me that there was a problem installing the driver. It then says:
HTC ADB Composite Device Driver (not sure exactly of this...)
Access is Denied

Anyone else seeing anything similar on Vista or Windows 7? BTW I already tried this in Safe Mode as well.

Nope I have administrative rights and even tried it in safe mode.
Would you be able to zip up the drivers you used or link to where you downloaded them from?
So strange.
Even if you have admin rights, UAC can f it up.
Make sure you right click on command prompt and click "Run as Administrator"
Also, do you have x64? That requires a signed drivers. I don't remember if the ADB drivers were signed by microsoft, but if they aren't, it won't work unless you apply the work around

Simple Solution
Here is a simple solution without having to read that long thread:
For future reference, here is how to install the drivers or fix the drivers should they not be working.
Everything you need is contained within this:
http://www.divshare.com/download/8845496-f72
This is the howto documentation
This is how to get your android phone to connect to you PC
to use functions like adb and other developer tools.
If you have installed the phone before but adb function dont work
then:
1) Run USBDeview
2) Select the list item(s) that have the word "android" within the description
3) Right Click > Uninstall
If you have done the above, or are plugging your phone in for the first time:
1) Plug in phone
2 a) When prompted to install drivers select the "android driver" folder
contained within this tutorial
2 b) If no message appears or you get a message saying drivers failed
to install. Goto device manager
2 b i) start > All Programs > accessories > run
type devmgmt.msc and press ok.
3 b) find the android device in device manager, it will have a warning icon
next to it and be in a section like unknown.
4 b) Right click and install driver
5 a) When prompted to install drivers select the "android driver" folder
contained within this tutorial

USBDeview is awesome but....
Even after removing all of the drivers associated with my device, as soon as I try to install the fresh new drivers, I still get "Access Denied" at the end of the install.

I have this same issue on an Ideos U8150 and on XP... At one point in the past it was working (before I flashed Cyanogen 7). Since then I have tried numerous driver packages, both specific to my phone and generic, and have had no luck getting past the access denied error.. I have even gone as far as changing the registry permission as well as checking all of my folder permissions... I am stumped.
Adb root - run that from command prompt.

I know it a while ago since you posted this but still, it helped me fix the "Access denied" thing which i didn't know how to fix. I installed ADB drivers 3 times... anyways, tnx :good:
So If you are like me you had this same issue in 2022. Idk if it will be a fix for you but it was for me.
follow this youtube video for the exact setup so you can get hopfully the same out com to the T.

1. make sure you're in administrator mode for command prompt.
2. The file name has changed from what it was so instead of doing
cd adb\platform-tools_r30.0.4-windows\platform-tools
It's now this
cd adb\platform-tools\
This will get you to the correct path if you followed the file placement in the video.
next all you have to do is type
adb devices on the command prompt. to test if it worked
other things that you might have to try is seeing if the driver it self is being blocked. you might also have to turn off and back on developer mode. View other posts in this thread if it's still stuck for you. Hopefully I helped one person at least.

[Q] Recovery Menu in Bootloader 90.78 ?

Hi,
A few weeks ago I wanted to install CM7 RC3 on my Motorola Milestone. It seemed that I couldn't get into the recovery menu. I could get to the Triangle screen with holding 'X' while booting, but I couldn't pull down the menu (using vol Up + Camera).
After a lot of fiddling I found out that when I flashed bootloader 90.74 (I was at 90.78) and booted while holding the camera key, that I could access the recovery menu (using vol Up + Camera).
Now I want to install CM7 Final, but I can't seem to get into that menu anymore. I'm just stuck at the Triangle screen.
I've tried bootloader 90.78 & 90.74, but they all didn't help.
Anyone have any clue ?
Thanks

You can use adb to enter recovery menu directly.
Check this link.
Thanks for replying so fast.
I've been able to get to the recovery screen (Triangle screen), but can't seem to open the menu with adb.
It's the opening of the menu that is the problem, which you normally do via Volume Up + Camera key.
Unless I can install CM7 Final via adb ?

Flash any rom, preferably GOT 2.2.1 from here. Then make sure you have USB debugging on from settings->applications->development->USB debugging.
Connect phone to PC. Download AOR and extract it to your sdcard. Download CM7 and put in in openrecovery/updates folder. Then move to the directory where you have adb installed. Usually it is in c:/android_sdk/tools.
Then in command prompt, type the following.
adb devices ( it should show your phone's no as shown below)
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
adb remount
adb shell "echo 'boot-recovery ' > /cache/recovery/command"
adb shell "echo '--update_package=SDCARD:update.zip' >> /cache/recovery/command"
adb shell "reboot recovery"
It should take you to AOR directly. Flash CM7.
Let me know if it works.
[email protected]
The line "adb remount" fails with the following message "remount failed: Operation not permitted".
I take it that adb needs root access, how can I achieve this ?
GOT 2.2.1 is already installed
Android itself is rooted (by EasyRoot)
SuperUser is installed
I have also installer Android Terminal Emulator, that one is set allowed in SU
Thanks

There are many apps for rooting your milestone on the market. Superuser, z4root, universal androot, super one click root to name a few. Use any one of those to root your phone.
You can use Zeppe's method. Once you apply his script , it will take you into AOR directly without any button pushes on reboot.
I was under the impression that adb needed a different kind of root. My bad in that case
I'll try that. Thanks
AWESOME! (I really use that word, but this situation calls for it )
zeppelinrox your scripts worked. I'm back to CM7. Thanks!
Mine is 90.78 and recovery menu is working like a charm! I'am running CM7.

Change DPI Without Root

Make use of that super saturated 2k panel!
1. Download the Android SDK
2. Extract it to a desired location
3. Navigate through the extraction to SDK > Platform Tools
4. SHIFT+RIGHT CLICK anywhere inside this folder and click "open command window here"
6. Make sure you have the correct drivers for your phone
5. Turn on USB Debugging and plug your phone into the computer
6. Tell your phone to trust the computer
7. In the command window, run the following command but replace *** with the desired DPI (I use 540)
Adb shell wm density ***
8. Reboot phone to have changes fully take effect.

Just tried this on my S6Edge (changed to 540 DPI) and I love it. Enjoy!

I love that this is making rounds. Thanks for quoting!
Do any of the apps look messed up?

Has anyone successfully done this on a Mac? I've watched tons of YouTube videos and tutorials and still can't get it.

Would you mind helping me out?
1. Download the Android SDK
2. Extract it to a desired location
3. Navigate through the extraction to SDK > Platform Tools - I see "Platform" and "Tools", 2 separate folders - which one?
4. SHIFT+RIGHT CLICK anywhere inside this folder and click "open command window here" - How do I do this on a Mac?
6. Make sure you have the correct drivers for your phone
5. Turn on USB Debugging and plug your phone into the computer
6. Tell your phone to trust the computer
7. In the command window, run the following command but replace *** with the desired DPI (I use 540) - Can you clarify on this step? Same on a Mac?
Adb shell wm density ***
8. Reboot phone to have changes fully take effect.
Once you have everything installed and the phone hooked up to the Mac in USB debugging mode, then start the Terminal app. Once the prompt comes up type: "/users/[username]/library/android/sdk/platform-tools/adb shell wm density 540"
Remember to change [username] to your "username". I also had to replug the phone in twice I believe before the command worked.

If you already have the Android SDK installed, make sure you also have the "SDK Platform Tools" installed, that's what you need to run ADB. If you don't see a folder titled "Platform Tools" you don't have the necessary files. Google around!
How does this effect battery or performance?

Also I have found a way around my home screen issue (I installed the Google now Launcher) and it works fine. Camera and a few other Stock apps still do not work correctly. I am assuming they are not responsive designed and rather are made for a specific screen size.

Sadly i finally gave up and went back to the stock 640. The camera and phone apps were driving me crazy as they were not designed to be responsive. Personally i think that everything on this phone is WAY to large on the screen and it makes the phone look Childish but until they make the Phone and Camera apps Responsive so that they fill the screen regardless of Density then i cannot use this

Did you do the unlocking in fastboot mode? Try another usb cable, some people are having issues with some.
Run the unlock tool as an administrator - the only thing which solved it for me under Windows 10.
Send me a private message with teamviewer details. I can help
Make sure the following is done prior to booting into fastboot:
Make sure that developer options is enable.
Make sure Unlock OEM is enabled
Make sure you have linked your MI account to your phone
Make sure USB debugging is enabled
Step 1: Place the phone in fastboot and plug it into your PC.
Step 2: Navigate to your windows search bar, enter "device manager" and open the top result. It should now show you several different drivers. You should see one named Android under "Other Devices."

If you see a little triangle, then you just need to download the driver for it.
I downloaded these driver
Step 3: Uncompress the files and open the folder up. You should see a file called Mi USB Driver. Run that file.
Step 4: A window will pop up asking you to unplug your Phone. Unplug it from the USB and replug it back in. It should then change the message to "Installing Drivers"
Step 5: Open the MI Unlock Tool and refresh. You should now have the ability to unlock the phone.
Let me know if that helped, or if you need additional assistance.

Question My computer doesn't recognize the phone in fastboot even with drivers installed

Hi all,
I really need your help, my computer doesn't recognize the phone in fastboot, I've installed different drivers and none of them work, in device manager it appears as Android with the yellow exclamation mark. I've already enabled USB Debugging mode, not sure what am I missing, please help.
Check in another USB Port, use original xiaomi's wire...and install latest USB drivers
I have the same problem, i'm using the original xiaomi wire and already installed lastest usb drivers.. the fact is that when I plug in the cell phone in fastboot mode the computer keeps sounds as connecting and disconnecting the device (I used two wires and two different computers)
Yup exact same thing, I hope somebody knows how to fix it and help us out.
Try with mi flash tool software for the computar... And let the program install the original firmware again... I think you can get rid of the problem

I'll try that, thanks for the help.
I had the same problem, and I fixed it changing the cellphone drivers in device manager, from: "Android" to ---------> "Xiaomi Composite MDB Interface".
Hope it helps someone.

Hi, where do I get the USB drivers? Even the official website says to make sure that "your PC has necessary drivers", but they don't provide any link where you can get them.
The Unlock Tool only has a "Check" button next to the version number, which says "5.5.224.24(Already latest)" and again, no drivers check. There are tons of fishy websites that claim to have the drivers and I have already tried several of them, but no success. Your help would be much appreciated.

Hi, after almost 2 days of constant researching and trying and failing and testing, I have finally figured it out! You need two things: MediaTek Driver and disabling Driver Signature Enforcement in Windows 10. It's because normally, the (64-bit) Windows 10 system won't allow you to install an unsigned driver and the Mediatek Driver is unsigned.
Here are the steps:
1. Press the Windows key on your keyboard, open PC settings
2. Go to Update & Security
3. Go to Recovery tab
4. Press & hold Shift key on your keyboard and click the Restart now button (in the Advanced startup section)
5. Select Troubleshoot ->Advanced setup -> Startup Settings and press Restart
6. Press 7 number key corresponding to "Disable driver signature enforcement" entry.
The system will now boot with the Driver Signature Enforcement disabled (it's going to be automatically enabled with the next restart). Download the Mediatek Driver (official source), unzip the file. Here's how I installed the driver:
1. Press the Windows key, type Device Manager and open the utility program
2. Click the top item in the list (your PC's name) and click Action in the menu and select Add Legacy Hardware.
3. Click Next in the Wizard, select Install hardware manually, and again Next and Next again.
4. Click Have Disk, Browse, navigate to the unzipped folder: SmartPhoneDriver > x64 > Unsigned infs and select the file android_winusb.inf. Click OK and select Media Tek Inc. in the left pane and then Next and Finish.
Your phone will now finally appear in the Unlock Tool.
This should work for all Note 10s users who also happen to have a 64-bit Windows 10 machine. Let me know how it went for you.
hey Guys, i´m new in the forum. But i had the same problem and i´m bringing the solution.
This error happens because Windows doesn´t recognize the bootloader, then you must install manually the bootloader´s driver and connect again your phone, so simple. I´m attaching the driver in this post.
Cheers.
download google usb driver: https://developer.android.com/studio/run/win-usb
connect phone to pc in fastboot mode. then go to device manager and update related driver named: android.
choose have disk and select Android_USB.inf file. then highlight Android bootloader interface and install driver. in win 10 must disable driver signature verification

After searching for a long time, I found that this is the solution that works 100%. At last I was able to register the unlock of the bootloader today after a week of searching how to do it, since the driver did not work, thank you.
