Ok check this out. . a little bit of a brighter side. . backup. .TMobile version has a backup app. So I backed-up my 10g version. Well I backup my 10e version but it wouldn't bring it back up after I flashed so. . .I have flashed the 10g about five times and all I have to do it hit the backup and restore and BAM I'm back to how it was before! So if we can find the damn 10e or root the 10g we've go it made without Titanium backup or CWM. . . well I would still like ot have CWM just to flash roms and things like that. .loved having CWM on my old phone. And Link2SD as well, damn how id I ever live without root!!!!LOL

Has anyone been able to get Wifi tethering to work with 3rd party apps with root? I don't want to pay $5 a month for something that I can do for free. I've tried almost every one, like Wifi tether root, Foxfi, Barnacle wifi tether, etc, but every time I try I get an error setting adhoc, or adhoc error. With Foxfi I get no error on the phone but it takes a long time to start up and doesn't show up in the connections list on my computer. I have been able to get USB internet tethering (through USB cable) but with this it only works on my computer, so I can't share my internet with friends when they need it, and I can't connect any other devices (like my ipod touch which obviously doesn't have a USB port).

Has anyone been able to get 3rd party Wifi tethering to work? If so, how? I'm sure that the t-mobile Wifi tethering works, but that's not what I'm looking for. Thanks!
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] rbraswell8:
here's the rub. the newest version of the firmware (10g) fixes wifi tethering. however, with the newest firmware, you loose root and anything else you did to your phone. and we haven't figured out a way back to 10e or a way to root 10g yet.

g is not the last letter in the alphabet. This will go on and on and on. I'm still 10e and not rooted. If fw updates are automatic how can i prevent 10g and all future updates, if 10e is rootable? At the same time want to have WiFi tethering in the future but also need root and custom roms.

LG sucks, again

Should have learned this already after my experience with LG P500. LG simply sucks. They make other cool stuff, but phones aren't one of them. Yesterday I bought an LG P760, and today I have returned it back with a big `f**k you LG`. The touch sensitivity compared to LG P500 or LG L7 is brutal. You have to use a hammer instead of your fingers to work with this phone. It's a nice looking phone, but that's it. :mad:

You got lucky. And how do you even modify touch screen's sensitivity, without rooting, flashing kernels, editing build.prop, init, replacing drivers or other stuff like that and HOPE for the best? :confused: I bought this phone because I thought, that for a device in this price range, I wouldn't have to waste tens of hours like I did with the older p500, just to make it work in acceptable parameters. :eek:

[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] SovereignKnight:
This doesn't help at all. It was on my desktop in a folder named "New Folder" So I moved it to the C:\ in a folder called "Root" and it still does the same thing.

UPDATE!!! I got my 10e to root! I found out why it was giving me the errors before.

Here is what I did:

1) I moved the root script contents to c:\root

2) Then I chose "Run Task" from the Task Manager.

3) I typed CMD

4) I ran the updated bat file in the folder and It didn't give me an error. It worked!!

I'm using Widows 8. Trying to right click on the bat file from the desktop and "Run As Admin" didn't work. It gave me the "Can't find specified" errors trying to push the files to the phone. It won't work trying to run it from the desktop. Just run it from a command prompt and it works. Must be some kind of Windows 8 security that was fouling things up. Grr! THIS DOES IN FACT work on 10e (P769 USA T-Mobile version), No need to downgrade to a lesser firmware!

Can you explain better how do you root v10e?
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] SovereignKnight:
Basically follow the instructions in the first post:

This is the second edit. Thanks to zanakorus33 for providing the tip for modification of the file. Since .bat is not allowed to attach, I put it up as text file.

The following method is applied to both international version (P760) and T-Mobile US version (P769).

Prerequisite:

You must install LG United Driver (simply change the phone USB mode to LG mode and install PC Suite).

You must enable USB debug mode (in developers option) and "unknown sources" (in security option).

You MUST disable Lookout Security (menu->applications->downloaded) and clear its data.

Download and unpack Root and Restore. *** (Revised by SK) Make a directory in the root of C:\ drive. Call it "Root" then unpack Root And Restore contents into that directory.***

http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1886460

Are you ready? Here it goes:

Hook up your phone and choose USB LG mode.

Run Root and Restore->Runme.bat.

(7th edit Download attached modified RunMe_L9.txt, rename the extension to .bat, put the file to where the original "RunMe.bat" is, and run it as "administrator" (right click the .bat file, and run as Administrator). *** (Revised by SK) In some cases, right clicking on the RunMe_L9 bat file and running it as Administrator will cause a problem with the Root and Restore bat file generating errors "Cant find the specified file" after selecting option 1) or option 2). If this happens, go to the "Start" button then go to the "Run" option, if you have a box to check underneath the run option called "Run as Administrator" select it and then type "CMD". This will open a black DOS like box. Type CD Root. This will change you to the newly created "C:\Root" folder you just made. Now run the Runme_L9.bat file. This should now allow the bat file to work correctly. In the event you are using Windows 8, You'll have to run the Task Manager to get the run command, since Windows 8 does not have a start button. If there is a box to check called "Run as Administrator" check it. This bat file will work with 10e P769 USA T-Mobile firmware! (End of revision)***

You will be prompted to restore data. Look at the phone screen and choose "restore my data" when prompted. Press a key when restoration has finished.

The phone will reboot. Check the terminal window and check for "(are you rooted?)" error. If there's no error, check the phone to see "Android is updating". If so, the phone should be rooted.

Download and install busybox and SuperSU.

Done.

Happy Rooting!

First edit: uploaded modified script file (added pause command on running restore part. Press any button after the restore has finished on the phone). Change extension from .txt to .bat (you can review the whole script before renaming to examine). Put the modified file to where RunMe.bat is and run it.

Please give me feedback of this script file.

Thanks zanakorus33 for giving tips for modification

Fourth edit:

After rooting, install Voodoo Root Keeper so you can preserve root after update.

this might sound bad news for you but, every dev we have right now is focusing on rooting the latest builds 10g or 10h

it's impossible right now to root 10e on p760.

i had to downgrade to 10a, root then update via OTA to 10e (it takes 10 min and keeps all your data, nothing gets deleted or wiped or removed)
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] reggiexp:

But OW cool so no data goes away okay and i can go back to 10e (dont like staying on older version) and it wil keep root?

Good luck! Should not give you a problem rooting.

After you get your phone rooted, and you have a decent size SD card, go here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2108775

This is a script that will let you swap your 2gb internal storage ram to the larger SD card. You'll have plenty of space to install games ect now since it swaps the internal to external memory. It's awesome!

WORKED! After working with it all day, I'm finally ROOTED! I have to get to bed, otherwise I'd sing the praises of the name of the guy who came up with the Win 8 fix, but it worked first time. I had to restart it three times to believe it though! (see how tired I am - didn't realize S. Knight was my hero!) :D

I just didn't want all that bloatware. No need for T-mobile TV,et. al. as we did not get an internet data plan (for now we're using Wifi due to lower cost and of just minutes and text, and so far it's worked fine....plus I can install apks from card, etc)

Thanks Knight, for the tip - I'll look at it later today, may have to ask your help on how to set it up - very new to all this still. Thanks though to all for your hard work on what I still believe is an awesome little phone for our needs!

i had rooted 10e and root keeper took backup. then cwm backup done. tested cwm backup works. but updated to 10g by mistake as part of h/w reset test i was doing.

is there a way to restore cwm backup (i do not have cwm installed or it is not starting up) so i get root back with 10e? or can i bring only that app data recovered from cwm backup so app may perform root recovery?
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] Prof24:
Just an FYI...one thing I will add for other Windows 8 users, and perhaps I missed it in Knight's original post, but for myself it only worked when I copied all the files from the "stuff" folder to the "root" folder. I am assuming that windows 8 - nor the phone - could not find the necessary files otherwise. All I know is that once I did that, it worked like a charm!

Thanks again to Knight and all those on here who are developing for this phone. I grant you it's got limitations, but my wife and I are VERY impressed with it, due in large part to the work of you all!

[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] Nathan.7118391:
Let's experiment on this: 1. Try to go to system settings---->backup and reset---->uncheck automatic restore and back up my data then do factory data reset.

OR ---

(if you had installed cwm by artisan186 and saved via backup. Try rebooting and while the LG screen is on just keep pushing volume down to see if you can boot into cwm. What I did the first time was I got into cwm and when I tried to reboot it asked if I wanted to disable the flashing lights and I did but it still works as long as you do it again. Let me know if this works.

Ideally the OTA update was just a small update that provided information on tethering, security, and battery so if you do a hard reset it should take it back to stock. (fingers crossed).

No, this root method doesn't work on 10e "yet" and your phone was probably already updated to latest build by t-mobile or lg.

i got mine with 10a, rooted it then installed voodoo rootkeeper, then i updated to 10e and the root stayed :)

for some reasons i unrooted :( and performed a reset. after this i can no more root because a reset don't get rid of the updates.

people here are trying hard to downgrade the software to 10a, but i think we should be focusing on rooting the 10e instead!
