plasticarmyman said:
i just tried the optimus 4x CWM installer 1.0 and it worked...i have CWM on my phone...it's not the right resolution or anything...but it works...we need someone to fix the app so it installs the correct recovery....

i am attaching all the files that i have

i got caught in a bootloop of the boot animation and i am going to try everything to get past it...

but 1.0 has been tested, i'm going to try 1.1 next and then 1.2 after that...

DO NOT DO THIS UNLESS YOU'RE COMFORTABLE WITH POSSIBLY BREAKING YOUR PHONE


how the crap do you tag people on here?....

but sammyz, shabby, mrpnut, and anyone else who is helping out with this...please please help with this...it got past the bootloader and booted into CWM...it was the wrong resolution...but the volume buttons worked to navigate and i rebooted to system

oh sure, i'll screenshot it...oh, wait... :p

i'll figure something out...maybe my webcam will take the picture? or i'll use my girlfriends phone camera...

either way after unbricking and re-rooting 4 times last night i'm kind of tired of doing it for right now...give me a couple days :P i'll have a picture on Monday






damn...this is making me put off my school work lol



edit: i sent Dexter another message asking for some support with his apk. I explained the issues we're having and so hopefully he'll come over and help us out for a short time...but I cannot promise that he will, he seems like a nice guy but he politely declined helping the previous time i messaged him, maybe...just maybe he'll help us out with his app

what if we could flash a rom and nothing bad happenss?
did we bypass the bootloader??
Click to expand...

no

1) even if you get this working perfectly you can make simple roms and themes (in all honesty you can do that already tho)
2) even if this all works you still cant flash a custom/edited kernel ergo no overclocking/cm
3) version 1.0 is based off the htc one x i believe and thus is telling recovery where the one x's partitions are, flashing anything may cause serious bricks.
4) www.Shabbypenguin.com/OUDstuff/LG/motion/Motion-4G-Bootstrap.apk here is the unreleased apk i made ages ago. chiwen can confirm :P as you can see i left credit to dexter in there as it was his app, i was just merely modifying it. (oh and i gave it a much nicer looking icon :P)

Install it, open app, follow app directions, if it says installation successful, reboot into recovery.

do not do this. the app doesnt work. i mean it works in the sense that it will install and load up like an app.

thats where it will end however, do not choose to install unless you want to use the unbrick guide. i never released it because there was no reason to :/ i had wanted to get it working for yall and had i it would have been known.
