In my opinion, it would make sense to wait another week or so before we pay for an unlocked bootloader. I've emailed LG about the petition a few days ago and today they answered the following:

Even if I don't know why they're talking about a "more efficient and safe method" (that would mean there already is one?) I think there is some hope for an official and free way.
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] pkatsaras:
Good work! I believe that we can do some more patience!!!:good:
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] Fabio R.:
I do not like the idea of ​​paying to unlock the phone.

I prefer to wait !

Also because the asking price seems high. And from my experience in this forum with other phones, I know that donations are made to thank a developer when launching something new for us. To say thanks !!

This is not intended as a criticism but it's just my opinion. I hope that LG is committed a little more

Thinking you need to wait for
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] h4oxer:
Can't wait for the bootloader to be unlocked. Came from the htc wildfire where I developed 2 roms. Can't wait to develop a Rom without the Optimus UI (it slows the device to much down) Maybe I can even port CM10 ! But for now.. patience :p
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] edwartwidianta:
For me that's the case. BGD has spent time and effort to open the possibilities of our phone. My little donation can keep him courage to find out more.

Keep going man!
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] manindra:
Thanks BGD for your fantastic root script. Works flawlessly on LG P705 V10C-MAY-22-2012 . I have checked with root checker and also installed Titanium Back Up to remove some stock apps.

Now desperately awaiting for CWM !:o

The right course going comrades (Lenin)
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] chistoph:
I have a question, is not the right place but...

If I do the factory reset to my phone, do I loose everything in my phone right?

but with the LG PC suite back up, what do I get back exactly?

I mean, I was thinking to get my phone in a back up, so I can do the factory reset in order to root my phone, will it work?
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] edwartwidianta:
To return your L7 exactly before factory reset you should make nandroid backup either by using adb from PC or within terminal emulator inside the L7. Do googling for it.

BGD has explain it in page 1 how to extract system.img, boot.img and recovery.img. But user data (apps, setting, etc was in data.img) explain by BGD a few pages before in reapond to my request. Once you got these images you can flash it back to your L7 using fastboot apps
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] chistoph:
yeah but I don't want to make an image of my phone, cuz I want to get my phone back in time before I update it

and if I restore the image, is gonna bring it back with the update too, and is because this update why I can't root my phone...

hmmmmmm, you know what, I gonna try, besides the apps I got in my phone are all free, all of them, don't matter if I lose a day downloading the apps again...

---------- Post added at 03:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:05 AM ----------

but maybe is not this update, cuz some other guys have rooted their phone with fimware V10c, while I got V10a-25- june-2012
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] edwartwidianta:
If that's case you can use Titanium Backup. It can restore your application anr their setting (even your registered setting) before you update the system. Another one is Rom Toolbox. All the free version can do that for you
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] chistoph:
ohhh ok I'll check those apps.

thanks
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] BGDonLINE:
Dude i told you in that other forum and here again do the downgrade to v10a for p700 and you will be able to root it
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] pkatsaras:
The thing is that titanium needs root access and if I understand what our friend said correct, he wants to backup in order to root his phone. So I think the only way is through Lg suite or the way in 1st post...

but there's no v10a for my country, other guys did what you told and the phone does not recognize the chip...

---------- Post added at 07:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:02 AM ----------

yeah it needs root acces, something that I don't have.

maybe if I don't get the firmware from my country then LG PC suite should be the only way
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] pkatsaras:
Some said that v10b or v10c can be rooted in some countries. You have to test it yourself. Everything you'll need is at the first posts. The procedure should be the same...

thanks
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] pkatsaras:
Try download the greek or european v10a I dont know why is this happening. Try a factory reset before flash, maybe there is sth with v10g that stays when you flash v10a and cause that. Even that or there is some kind of security in v10g that dont allow the downgrade. Backup before do anything...

Hi, if your phone does not come with NFC you can download V10C for Indonesia and root instantly by using BGD tools as provided in page 1. The firmware also listed in link in the page 1 as well.

I just re-flash my L7 one hour ago from V10A.

See the screenshoot
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] chistoph:
is that the Europe Open? right?

downloading...

there's a guy who used the Europe open, gets the sim chip lock, "network lock" , can't use the phone

I'll see what happens with mine...
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] h4oxer:
Does the bootloader really needs to be unlocked ? Isn't it enough to root the device and than install and flash ClockworkMod through RomManager ? Maybe we can flash custom roms ? I think my htc Wildfire wasn't bootloader unlocked , only rooted and flashed Clockworkmod..
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] chistoph:
ok

a lot of problems, like "phone was not found" and some others more...

phone is rooted now LG P700. Camera is not working, and a few things more I don't like, but now I can change everything in my phone right?

like the contacts icon and get the camera to wok?

---------- Post added at 03:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:14 PM ----------

nop

camera does not work not even with the camera ics
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] edwartwidianta:
When you boot into recovery mode in normal way the will do factory reset.

I've install ROM Manager and boot into recovery. It do factory reset automatically. You must do procedure as BGD explain in the first page. And for now we must wait the unlock bootloader
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] chistoph:
but this is to get the phone exactly like it was from factory isn't???

I got rooted my phone with firmware from a P700 phone, I'm ok right now, I can wait for the bootloader, no matter is the camera is not working for a while...

---------- Post added at 03:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:27 AM ----------

have you guys overclock this phone? how high will it go?
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] angus2006locked:
Oh yes.. the phone should have the potential to overclock... or else it is slow as crap...:mad:

Do you have it overclock? By how much?
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] angus2006locked:
I just stay at 600-1008mhz.. not oc

If oc we need a custom kernel..

So just stay that speed and I use it like crap:banghead:
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] chistoph:
And for that we need unlocked bootloader...
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] ~Phil~:
For flashing custom roms, kernels, etc.!
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] elzafir:
BDG, sorry I've been away from the forums, I didn't realize you had contact from someone at LG (this is great news).

I'd like to donate towards our cause.

Could please PM me your PayPal email?

Btw thanks for the "info" on BFBC2 :)

If things are a little better in my life, I'd donate more, but since I'm between jobs right now, most I could do is $5. I hope it will help.

Hey guys, if not for BDG, we won't have root and we won't even be talking about custom ROMs. So, if you can spare money, it will benefit us all!

hey guys got a private message regarding helping with cwm. ive ported cwm to a few devices in the past (samsung blaze 4g, replenish, lg optimus m+, connect 4g). im willing to help however i skimmed the first few pages of this thread as well as the last few. seems to be the idea that this bootloader is locked.. why is that?

also it should be noted that an "LG" employee offering to sell software may have some truth to it... but in the off chance it doesnt xda do not have any form of protection for you money, i know myself personally wouldnt be lining up to toss my money away. whether or not the person is legit ive no idea as i dont plan on reading through this entire thread (sorry i really dont have the time for it).

also for me to look at making cwm ill need boot.img and recovery.img off the device. if you dont know how to get those you can join our irc channel found here :)

http://webchat.irondust.net/?channels=hitsquad

now it should be mentioned that one person in particular wont be welcomed into the channel. that would be you BGDonLINE, dan rosenberg is a buddy of mine. hes the one who wrote the spectrum root and has since rooted many other lg devices based off his exploit. in this thread you are credited as rooting this phone and accepted donations for it.

http://vulnfactory.org/blog/2011/11/11/plagiarism-in-the-android-rooting-scene/

its a good read even if its a bit old...

edit: now that goo is back up i snagged "your" root script. amazing that you would go through and remove dan's name in the credits and replace it all with your own.

Hi shabbypenguin,

Help from the expert is highly appreciate.

I myself also hate plagiators!!!

How do I send the images to this forum?

As far only images can be upload

So, BGDonLINE, you must continue this project if this is truly yours.

---- edit----

I upload the files you requested to Google Docs following below link:

[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] pkatsaras:
I expect from BGDonLINE to defend himself (I hope that he is just away from a computer these days) and if it's true I believe that an apology can close this issue. If you are new in something (I don't know if BGD ever again occupied with development) you are making mistakes. The thing is to recognise it and move on...
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] edwartwidianta:
I compare the script from BGD and Dan Rosenberg. The exploit is match so he is using Dan's exploit.

But if he is finalizing to unlocked the bootloader as promised and apology to use the exploit by not mentioning the original author I hope things to be okay

ok so it looks like you installed it, but used reboot... did you try reboot recovery?

users on other devices also tried using quickboot to gain access, its free and in the market :)

i decided to kill some time by reading through. paul from modaco is a trusted source and if he were to say it was gunna cost anything to unlock then id suggest chipping in. however it seems from my reading paul never replied (hes a very busy man). however it seems the OP is the one who knows a friend of a friend of a friend etc. i'll try to stay civil on the matter but should you send money to him to pay for unlocking...

but either way.. good to know that you installed cwm and yet your phone still booted :D

I try to install CWM recovery using LG Esteem (stupid huh?) through ROM Manager but it stuck

Then which ROM Manager is compatible?

Anyway, thanks! This is a good progress

----------------edit---------------------

Now,it is also recognized by fastboot and I am succed to boot into bootloader.

Than that's mean the bootloader isn't locked? Or you hack byusing the cwm?

Ge! It's cool!!!

[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] shabbypenguin:
flashing anything from rom manager at this time is a good way to brick your device :)

mind taking a picture of what is on your screen? from my understanding in this thread the bootloader is completely locked down and cant boot cwm?

as for the second part of your post im not understanding what you are saying
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] PlayfulGod:
If you installed the Esteems CWM, you now have CWM where your system use to be with a kernel that wont boot on your device. ;)
