You can only use the market version If you unlock the bootloader. You have to use artas 1.5 on the locked bootloader.

Probably not, I'm not sure, check and report back

That would be a "no". I guess since it's modified and sideloaded, it doesn't recognize that ROM Manager itself is installed.

Something really odd is going on with my P769. I'm rooted with a locked bootloader and the L9 Recovery has been working fine. I just went to boot to recovery from within the L9 Recovery app, and it won't. I powered the phone down and when booting, the LEDs do not flash (they used to). I uninstalled L9 Recovery Installer and followed the steps to remove recovery (delete /system/bootstrap, delete /system/bin/e2fck, and rename /system/bin/e2fsck.bin to e2fsck). Rebooted and then reinstalled L9 Recovery Installer. Selected to Install/Update Recovery. It installed successfully so I tried the "Reboot to Recovery" button again and no luck. No recovery and no flashing LEDs. Same after a power down.

Anyone else seen this or know what I need to do to get my recovery back? :confused:
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] kuma82:
I've had this issue happen several times. Most of the problems were caused by me messing around with different busybox apps. I always just reflashed a new kdz. However, if you don't want to do that, you have to start troubleshooting. If you dig deeper inside the L9 recovery apk data folder data/data/pl.artas182x.android.l9.recovery/files you will find a script surunner.sh

Inside this script is everything that was copied and changed on your system.

Maybe if you remove the files and folders that were added, then reinstall, it will work.

Clicking on that button does nothing and also rebooting and holding the vol dow button just reboots into safe mode. The same when rebooting holding the vol up button just reboots normally. What could i do to use the CWM? I have my LG L9 only since 2 weeks so fairly new to it.

Ok. Finally got CWM installed on my P769 v20d (rooted). Took a few reboots until I figured out what the issue was. As mentioned several times in the thread, be sure to install BusyBox. I downloaded the app initially and CWM did not work. Then I realized I had to open up the app after installing it from the Play Store to actually install BusyBox.

So in short:

1. Install BusyBox app from the Play Store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bitcubate.root.busybox.complete

2. Open up the BusyBox app and press the "Install" button to actually install BusyBox.

If by 5 different version for each variant, you mean you have to return "p76x" where x is the correct number, why not just return "u2" for your CWM for all variants, which is exactly what stock ROMs did? This way you still have only one version and it should server for all variants much better than the current value "p740".

Most CM based rom check your device model before install. If you flash rom/kdz which is not P760 model, you device model is changed to that one. So this is a problem when flash CM. If you sure that your phone can flash P760 rom, you can remove this check from that custom rom.

- Open your rom zip file with zip program (I prefer 7Zip)

- Loop for META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script and drag it to any folder for editing

- Remove this line "assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "p760" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "p760");" It should be the first line.

- Save and drag that file back to replace it in your rom.

- Flash it again

BusyBox has been updated (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bitcubate.root.busybox.complete&hl=en), and when I rebooted, I had a "can not load android.com" error (something like that, could not remember the exact description) and my phone would not start.

Had to go in recovery and restore system.

Now everything works, except that I can not boot in recovery mode... I guess it is due to Busybox.

Anybody has the previous version of BusyBox, so I can install it without getting into troubles again ? as I can not boot into recovery, I can not restore system.

This works great, thanks.

I'm still a bit wary with deleting system, cache and dalvik all at once.

Should be safe, right?

Of course, with correct cwm zip file already on internal SD.

About deleting recovery... The e2fck, isnt it called "e2fsck"? On my phone it is called that instead e2fck...

Hi geeshiet, yes, in my phone the correct name is "e2fsck" too. Cheers. Good luck.

i have an l769 i rooted with the lelus method and im on the European version of jb so i can do a bootloader unlock, so the phone is now rooted but when i tried to do the bootloader unlock it didnt work, it just rebooted normally, but i read somewhere that the sim card needs to work in order for the bootloader unlock to work, so i want to flash the radio for the l769 with this recovery but i clicked install and it says install successful,but then when i reboot into recovery it just boots normally, and when i go back into the installer it says not installed... and i tried installing busybox with busybox x and then i tried installing the recovery again but it didnt work....

Can someone please help me? my screen is inverted and the touch messed up and from what i understand i cant get it to work again unless i succeed... so can someone please give me some helpful advice?

THANKS
