Hello guys :)

I had some problems during the debranding. When I install the v10a should in theory have to upgrade to v10e but it is not because when I use the PC tool of LG, it updates my phone to a branded version.

It is thought that the tool does not check what version I have but my code S/N.

How you can fool the tool in order to install a no-brand?

Damn you LG, are they trolling with us? Why they need different methods for different models in same Optimus series?

Sorry new to P765. Does this mean, in SW Upgrade mode the bricked phone can be recovered with LP Update Tool, Right? Either with official LG update online tool or with offline tricky LG update? So this is also one more unbrickable phone from LG? Or is it always risky to flash? Sorry pals, just trying to collect confidence for my next mis-adventures? lolz :D

Strangely LG have released ICS Source for P760 and P769 on [FONT=&quot]http://opensource.lge.com[/FONT][FONT=&quot]

I dont know, but I was under impression that LG P765 is also from same L9 series as above two models. All three carry LG Optimus L9 lable on Company box. Hence I asked them for release of source for LG P765, I got strange reply from them as follows.

====================================

[/FONT]LG informed that they release source only for FOSS devices.

[FONT=&quot][FONT=&quot]====================================

Now my question is that, Isn't P765 also using Android ICS, the same OS, P760 and P760 are using? Isn't android the FOSS? Isn't this all strange? We can search and download source for other two variant of L9. Strange Company, Strange Reasons. :confused:

Go to your contry and look for your brand, if there's anothe version after yours (for example 10c or 10d) then you don't have the updated version and you can root. If there's a 10a version for your brand, then you have the updated version and you need to downgrade first.

There are 2 version of the firmware, basically 10a and 10e but carriers can make differents firmwares (based on 10a and 10e).

10a (and "derivated") can be rooted, 10e (and "derivated") can not be rooted.

You can look in the firmware list if exist another version for you carrier.

Anyway the easiest way to find out if you can root, is to try :p

For those of you who are running out of space for apps, try using Link2SD app.

Since we do not have CWM recovery, take out the SD card and use MiniTool windows program (free) to segment the main existing SD partition into 2 partitions. Pick the size you want for the second partition and format it in FAT32 format.

Do not mess with the SD-Ext partition or the cache partition. Just divide the existing main partition into two.

Reboot the system and start the Link2SD. The program will ask for the format for the second partition. Choose 'FAT32/16". Once the mounting script is created, reboot the system once more and then start up Link2SD again. Use the program to 'Create A Link" (not move to SD) for apps that you want to transfer over to the newly created second partition.

After all the apps have been "Linked" (transferred). Reboot the system. The first reboot will take longer time to create the cache. Be patient. After system finishes rebooting, there should be more space in the main memory area. You can also set the Link2SD to automatically always transfer any new apps to the second partition as they are installed.

YMMV. (only for rooted device)

I saw handbricked L9 (P765) phone - when you turn it on, LG logo and "Security error" phrase displayed on screen for some time and then phone turns off. And no way to enter any of modes: SW upgrade, recovery, etc. Phone was recovered in LG service center, with clean firmware. And, as I suspect, to recover it in service center some one disassembled it (scratches from screwdriver on screws).

We tried to root new V10E firmware - exploit from this theme not works. So we used KDZ to fall back to V10C and then rooted phone.

And so: I dumped boot.img and recovery.img from my P765 V10C. Then unpacked RAMDISK, in /res directory from recovery.img i found file "keys" with numbers like this: "...,1222374759,2563319927,323993566,28517732,609753416,..."

Is it can be useful boot.img and recovery.img from V10E at all?

Update: compared new and old recovery and boot images. In both of them changed file lge_fota.

And in recovery.img changed default.prop:

v10c <--> v10e

If device was failing to come in software upgrade mode you could try putting battery when "SW Upgrade Mode" screen appears and also connecting USB cable directly to the USB ports on (backside of) pc helps sometimes. Keep battery full-charged if possible. Anyways you got it working and thats good news. Did service center charge you for recovering?

Do you mean to say you could ROOT phone with V10c? Which country V10c KDZ? I am trying to root it too.

I've read about this method, tried, but with no luck - when phone without battery was connected to USB, it emits only short vibro signal without turning on screen. Service center counted this as warranty case, without any charge :)

Then phone goes to "SW Upgrade Mode", PC detects it as COM port. In our case - no connected devices was listed ever, whenever PC was make sound as if device was connected.

Firmware V10C for CIS region, I suspect this is like V10A for other's.

PS: when I tried do FOTA upgrade for my phone (V10C -> V10E), upgrade was downloaded to phone, phone rebooted, stuck at 0%, then showed "err: 0x13e", rebooted again and said what it unable to upgrade because superuser rights suspected. :laugh:

The problem is that LG PC SUIT can´t find my phone.

I used 5 cables and nothing.

I'll upload files for recovery, but without installer, only manual installation (easy for me).
