And that boot.img comes from the final version that we will find in the stores very soon? And not from any "demo" version they handed out recently?
Will LG's Bootloaders be locked?

Don't know. Got it from here: http://www.anandtech.com/show/4144/...gra-2-review-the-first-dual-core-smartphone/9
The Optimus 2x is not using mtd partitions you can use cat /proc/partitions and cat /proc/mounts to see where things is mounted.
Thanks! Mirsalimov, could you try that, and post the results? Then perhaps we can see if the production model has a signature.

Boot.img
Here is a link to a boot.img extracted using the instructions found in this thread for a Production Model Korean Optimus 2x (SU-660) (this is not a demo phone, but an actual store-bought phone). Version info:
Model Number: LG-SU660
Android version: 2.2.1 (didn't upgrade for fear of losing root)
Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9
Build Number: FRG83.star.20110119
Software Version: LG-SU660-V10g Jan 19 2011
can anyone tell me if this boot.img is signed/encrypted/anything bad?

Can't we do the same ish like HTC to get perm root and security off.
Boot image from optimus 2x global version.
Model Number: LG-P990
Android: 2.2.2
Kernel: 2.6.32.9
Build number: FRG83G
LGE Version: LGP990-V10a
If there is no encryption, can we add support for clockworkmod?
update:
I have requested source code from LG. Now waiting for answer.

if this is true it would kickstart development for the 2x for sure, great news! Considering to get one if it will become well supported by dev/cm community for sure
So if i read this topic right, there is no encryption or signing of the LG optimus 2X bootloader (still i dont get the difference between locked and unlocked if in fact the signing or encryption prove to be the biggest deal).
Will it Therefore be only a matter of time (and hard work i guess) before the options arise to use custom roms on this device?

The difference between locked and unlocked is that unlocked you can write to system partitions (i.e. custom roms, recoveries, and so forth)
If you can't unlock the bootloader (i.e. fastboot oem unlock) then you're basically not able to make custom roms.
However, locked bootloaders have been easier to hack than signed or encrypted bootloaders.
thanks for the quick response, and for making things clear.
So this device's bootloader is only locked?
I can't say for certain, it apears that it is pretty certain it's not signed or encrypted, but it likely will be locked.

I can not see any sign of a signature or something similar in the boot.img from the global or korean version

For me (and for these guys) "unlocked bootloader" means "fastboot enabled bootloader" which in turn means "I can boot whatever OS I want (without having to modify the firmware)". The bootloader of the Optimus One is not fastboot enabled. But once you root the phone you are free to flash custom roms, if this is what you meant.1
The bootloader simply instrucs the kernel to load at start. When its locked, its not possible to modify it to your own needs (like flashing your own version of Android).
The root account has nothing to do with the bootloader. You can gain access to the root account in other ways.
