here is maybe another way to find root hole.

create a ftp server on your machine.
create a user with name: images and password: images
in the root of the user images create folder cache
you can now place a "ota_update.zip" in that folder for late download to your o4x.
remember that file still needs to be signed :(

on you mobile, you can activate download of that ota_update.zip through hidden dialer menu(8435#*880#)
and select image updater and enter your ipadress of the pc with the ftp server. and press connect.
you will see the ota_update.zip as a filesize of X bytes and you can select it.
selecting it will download and reboot o4x, and enter recovery.
but for now it fails as it is not signed with LG sig.

but maybe a way to put updates on it, since recovery do not find external sdcard, and we cannot put them onto /cache ourselves.

Check your PMs :)

Also I managed to get busybox installed using JRUMMY's busybox installer. Titanium backup now works on here.

thanks!!

i am sharing the extracted boot.img , here now. it shows that the bug with /data/local is NOT fixed on your mobile, and its no developer model, probably just an earlier firmware, which we could take advantage of if we could get our hands on the download of it.

here is the dumped boot.img (without kernel)

edit:
got the phone build details: LG-P880-V08c-MAR-12-2012
so question is HOW can we download the V08c image from the web now?

I don't know. Is there any way I can back up or make a nandroid somehow? I don't know how without an official CWM build or something of that nature. Would backing up my system files with Titanium Backup be of any use?

is it normal, that the debugging-modus couldn´t be switched on on unrooted devices?

We can't copy zips to internal SD. So can't install SU or Busybox. So c'mon, what did you PM? Please keep this open for everyone. Is there a solution or isn't there? Desperately wanting to get root access.

please read the full story, or stay away from commenting on it.

this persons model was open and using a very early release of the firmware v08c, so read and understand what we discuss here, before attacking the person.

    i digged into alternate rooting solutions, looking at the diag port which opens through "S/W update" or using hidden menu "CP USB".

    i do not know if it helps anyone testing,
    but all commands send using "putty" connecting to serialport at 115200/8/n/1 , needs to by typed twice
    like
    AT%FRSTSTATUS=5
    AT%FRSTSTATUS=5
    before its accepted and changed. and yes, it is not echo'ing what you type
    i havent found much yet, but that i can change some parameters, not sure if any will affect a developer bootup.
    those who want to see it, can check the "logcat" during bootup and you see all the service commands available

    Sorry that i am not a 4x holder, i got the LTE2(F160-L). It is the sister phone with 4X in LG brands and just released about 2 months ago. But i hope my method can help you guys to root 4X.

    I root my LTE2 with these steps:
    1. Download and install the driver of the phone
    2. Download the KDZ file--LG phone update file.
    3. Download the root.zip file and install msxml to run the kdz update.
    4. Run the rooting.bat after unzip the root.zip.
    5. Follow the instruction in the bat.
    5.1 Connect the phone with driver and in debugged mode
    5.2 After the adb push, turn off the phone and turn it to download mode by holding up and down volume key and plugin the USB and press enter in the bat and it stop in a page showing "!!!Iparam=5!!!"
    5.3 open the KDZ update, and try to make a update with KDZ file in mode:cs_emergency type:3GQCT
    5.4 after you see the Iparam=5, back to the bat and press enter. it will run the LTE2Root.exe to the phone
    6. the phone will reboot and get the root.

    I also uploaded the root.zip to dropbox, so you guys maybe learn from it and can be root the 4X in later.
