LG’s Optimus 4XHD was pretty amazing smartphone at the time it was announced. However, it was released a bit too late and in the meantime, the HTC One X and Samsung Galaxy S III got all the attention of the media (and customers). One of the phone’s aspects that wasn’t popular among the hacking community was its tightly-locked bootloader that didn’t allow for third-party “modifications.” That’s no longer the case now that the Jelly Bean firmware is leaked, enabling easier unlocking. Needless to say, the XDA-Developer forum members reacted and came up with a working ClockworkMod recovery.
Bear in mind that cramming a new ROM on your 4XHD won’t be as easy as doing it on other phones so if you want to take this route – make sure to go through instructions with an extra care, cause your phone could end-up bricked. As usual, you can’t hold IntoMobile responsible in case something goes wrong. We’re just the messenger…

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
