I have followed the 2.1 technique. And it was successful. I flashed global generic 2.1 fw. here is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746
And once you unlock bootloader flash a pre rooted 2.3 rom and with .71 baseband. After that you can flash doomlord kernel.
XDA developers has given you the right to press the Thanks button. So make use of it.

Device: Optimus 4X HD
Android version: 4.1.2
Root Status: ACTIVE
Bootloaderstatus: UNLOCKED
Kernel Version: 3.1.10
Software Version: P880 V20A
