Root we need recovery...right?

Theres still a backdoor behind i signed recovery and bootloader though, one is in progress for the Optimus 4X, last i checked it is working now too.
 
at this point in time the bootstrap method will prolly be the best shot. Unfortunately I've never dealt with a bootstraper on the dev side of things lol
 
Seems at this point the 4x recovery is as complete as it maybe. That recovery method cant be to far off from one for our phones..... Wonder if anybody has tried it?
 
Well i tryed it out and i installed the 4x hd recovery superuser grant me permision, so i thought everything went well,but it didnt lol when trying to boot in recovery its know stuck on the metro pcs logo.So it was a no go :(

Were you able to unbrick?

DON'T TRY IT

IT WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE

THIS HAS BEEN DISCUSSED IN OTHER THREADS

someone is working on using the bootstrap method from the 4X recovery...

hold your hats and horses...it will come when it's done...

basically what is happening is someone is porting the 4X recovery to our phone...

i don't think it can get any clearer than that...

Hope you can uunbrick it. Even with this recovery there's still no chance of a custom kernel I don't think. I wanted a shot at overclocking this beast.
 
thats whats nice about this.phone its cheap so if we do bruck and could never fix it again hey at least its not a 350 paperweight
