For those of you who are rooted and still waiting for OTA, there is an easier upgrade path to JB which you can do it now.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2251622

The bonus is that you will end up with a rooted JB set up.

P.S. - Thanks "Tablechair" for providing the CWM back up file.

Is there a v20d root for the p769 rom that doesn't involve going back and rooting in 10g?
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] clockcycle:
Lelus posted the full ota file, but theres no way to apply it currently. The cwm nandroid backup does not include the radio, theres no way in this version of cwm to select it for back up.

---------- Post added at 02:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:02 PM ----------

Short answer is no.

Only way is to "retain" root, with an already rooted backup via voodoo ota root keeper and restore it once youve applied the ota.

---------- Post added at 02:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:04 PM ----------

I totally forgot to install busybox, but cwm still worked.. Atleast backup restore wipes do.

---------- Post added at 02:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:16 PM ----------

Although i didnt remove office, i did uninstall other added apps and disabled most of the tmobile apps via settings then used a quarantine app to freeze others. I did not reinstall nor enable those apps and my update went through. So id say yes anything you change that doesnt require root will not affect success of applying the ota, in my personal experience.

---------- Post added at 02:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:22 PM ----------

This is true. The backup file doesn't even include the radio and there's not an option in our current cwm to backup the radio. What ever happen to amonRA recovery?

Needing help

Unzipped to external SD in clockwork mod> backups. However,when I went to restore it, it says no files found (though I saw them when I looked at the SD card via my PC). So, I tried it with the zip files and the little robot fell over with the red arrow. Reboot, phone still launches fine, but no update, of course. Could it be that something's not right with the CWM file for my T-Mobile phone? What could I have done wrong?
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] Nathan.7118391:
Be sure that you unzipped which means that you will see a file named something with numbers only. Make a backup with the tar and then the next thing is restore from external. . Then you will seed the file. You have to make a backup first before the install. Good luck!

Sorry about that - just saw Nathan's response to original post. Will try. Sorry guys, I really thought I'd posted to the wrong thread, then I thought the original post was deleted. Very sorry, didn't mean for the "help me" thing to post twice :)

HEY! IT WORKED! About drove me crazy forgetting that step - Thanks Nathan. Like I said, had installed a rom befor and knew I was forgetting a step...+ apparently forgot about creating the backup first. Once I did that, it couldn't have taken more than 5 - 10 minutes to run and install Jelly Bean. Was just so much easier to do this that to try and figure out how to get the older Tmobile apps back for the OTA update.

Thanks Tablechair for posting! (clicked on thank button last night)! Touchscreen is MUCH more responsive - even my wife, who worries about me playing with its innards, agreed this was a worthwhile update.

It doesn't get rid of it totally, just the app shortcuts on the drop down menu. If you open one of the few apps that uses it, you can still turn it on. If all apps could use q-slide it would be cool; I only have a use for it now on quickmemo.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] clockcycle:
Reason I know CWM didn't back up the radio, is that while watching it back up my device, it didn't create/back it up. Then looking at the back up, could see the radio.img wasn't included..

Hence, when people recover my CWM backup or Tablechair's to "update", the result is they do not get their radio updated, since it's not included (view the zip contents)..

And no I am not familiar with the P769 radio. But I am aware that it isn't being backed up, I've backed up and recovered/replaced radio images on other phones (Samsung mostly) for cross carrier/country compatibility and (possible/pseudo) signal quality in my usage areas.. I've had recoveries on other devices which allowed selecting what to backup or restore.

Sounds like a firmware update in one of the chips. Oh well.

---------- Post added at 10:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:50 PM ----------

The radio we are talking about here is the actual radio signal that the phone would generate and receive to communicate with the cell towers.

The radio design is in a chip and the chip is controlled by a small program within the chip. They have updated the firmware (program) within the chip for some reason. It may be for signal improvement for voice or data. Or, It may be for accounting purpose to control data usage. We don't know.

The older program seems to work fine as I have not noticed any problem with my phone but we are trying to see if the firmware can be updated without having to go through OTA update.

So is there a way to root JB version for those of us who accepted the OTA update (I wasn't rooted on ICS) yet?
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] kimtyson:
No JB root, yet. The most recent root path is to root ICS and save the root with OTA Root Saver (or whatever it's called) and then update and reapply the saved root.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] quailallstar:
Then I will attempt to downgrade and root that version and do what you mentioned above using OTA root saver.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] ThrIsNoSpork:
Keep in mind that you're going to have to do a factory reset after you downgrade. I tried without and it just hung at the boot screen. I also had issues with OTA Rootkeeper not saving root the first time I installed JB but it worked fine after I upgraded a second time. Make sure you update your binaries after you restore root. It will fail one or two times but it works, just keep trying.

I would prefer to download through OTA. I have the rootkeeper app and have backed up my root so I'm not worried about that. Anything you can think of that is causing the error message?

Failing the OTA update with lying down android

I've got the same problem as you, i have also done the hard reset, with no success, still getting the dead android. (After the reset can i assume the bloatware/installed apps factor is eliminated?)

Still rooted after the reset.

I would like to keep the root and use OTA, do not want to resort to the CWM backup.

What are we missing here?

EDIT:

I got tired of waiting so I...

Backed up all my apps and the internal storage

Reflashed the stock V10G with root using the Lelus method, reinstalled Voodoo

Triggered the OTA update with clearing the framework and doing the checkin

and now I'm finally in rooted JB (hopefully Ti will do a decent job restoring my apps and data)

Im thinking the problem was with all the bloatware. I had deleted quite a few of them, i might not have gotten every last one of them back.

So I finally got the update pushed to me via OTA today. I'm on a bone stock phone, never rooted. It downloaded the update and went through the installation process fine I thought. I turn it on and the LG logo pops up like normal and then the screen flashes briefly and a new LG logo with "security error" underneath it appears for a few seconds and then the phone powers down. Any suggestions on this?

I did a quick search and didn't immediately see this error but definitely could be buried in this thread somewhere and I apologize for that if I did indeed miss it.

Any clue as to why they are restricting it to that date? What happens to the people who purchase their phones after that? :confused:

Also, I know JB 4.1.2 is a BIG improvement over ICS 4.0.4 whereas JB 4.2.2 is not THAT BIG an improvement over JB 4.1.2.
