You have the right one

Touch screen was wonky so I wanted a non touch one. I found it :)

I restored that cwm backup and I also flashed the radio, thanks for guiding me through this guys :D

I'm gonna flash PACrom now ^-^
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] kuma82:
Can't he just use the volume keys and power button to navigate with that one?
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] carloswii5:
he could but its not the same experience.....

Later today I'll create cwm flashable v6 screen fix, it'll be possible to unlock the bl without even touching the screen/wonky ts.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] leolawliet:
Thank you for everything man :)

I'm content with the non touch recovery, it gets the job done without any added risks.

My question now is about twrp, is the touch screen weird on it too?
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] kuma82:
The Cwm touch screen is wonky because you haven't fixed it yet. The same for the twrp. You need to cat the v6.bin into the /sys/devices/virtual/input/lge_touch/firmware
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] leolawliet:
Already did

Edit: CM10 is great, but stock JB rooted had everything I needed, I guess I can wait around for rom updates, I can flash whatever rom at this point :)

Does anyone remember/know if usb debugging mode stays enabled after flashing a kdz ?
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] carloswii5:
Lelus yes it does that's why I added it to the guide so it would be an easier process
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] kuma82:
Yup, only a hard reset will reset it (disabled it).
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] Lelus:
Great, thanks

The unlocking process can be even simpler. It should be enough to :

flash unlockable euro kdz

unlock the bootloader via adb reboot oem-unlock

fastboot either cwm or cwm touch

restore one of several available cwm backups or install a rom

fix the ts via cwm with included attachement

Hey guys, omgbossis21 on phandroid thinks he can flash the bootchain to unlock the boot loader. Can someone with an unlocked bootloader p769 use dd and pull the boot and recovery blocks and share them? Thanks in advance!
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] kuma82:
You can still test it :D if you flash a ice cream u-boot (through fastboot, recovery or dd command) your phone won't recognize your unlock states ;) Think of it as temporarily locking your bootloader.

The phone must have unlockable firmware installed for at least 2 hours with a solid connection to the network.

How about trying minimalistic way.

1 Dd or Fastboot ics x and u.

2 Flash 10g

3 Factory reset

4 Flash 20b (don't root nor flash a radio)

5 Enable usb debugging, connect to your wifi network.

6 Wait for say 40minutes and try adb reboot oem-unlock

*good idea to flash kdzs in emergency mode since it seems to be overwriting everything http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=45567834&postcount=1006

[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] LaDY Vengeance:
I flashed the stock T-Mobile 10G and had 4G signal. After that, I flashed the euro 20B and now have one bar signal with Edge. From time to time, I get no service. I did make sure x and u flashed.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] MoonMaster345:
You guys see that's the thing... We don't lose radio matter what.. Im willing to say that there is something that's not overwriting properly

It seems like a permissions type thing.... I mean I'm not a dev, but it reminds me of trying to root a Jelly Bean device and it says success... and it doesn't root.

Don't you need su permission to unlock a bootloader? Maybe I'm just guessing.

Guys, you don't need to add any other steps in between these. I didn't even bother rooting 10g or 20b. It's not necessary. Same with flashing the radio. Don't worry about all that until after boot loader is unlocked.

Thanks Lelus. Those steps are super succinct.

[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] Lelus:
It's based on experience of people who couldn't unlock their bootloader for days , flashing v10g and doing factory reset did the trick. Try it and we'll talk then.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] Nathan.7118391:
Hmmm didn't do the factory reset. . .not going down to 10g but at this point I'm just playing around and its not really necessary to unlock.

I have tried factory reset -> erase system -> flash 10g tmobile -> flash euro 20b, and it didn't work.

Do you think oem format is worth trying, or has anyone already tried that?
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] Lelus:
Oem format won't work , on the other hand I think it's possible to fastboot erase every single partition and leave x and u , but i can't guarantee you'll be able to recover your phone completely.I don't know if flashing a kdz restors drm keys and other important carp .
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] omgbossis21:
I fastboot erased the boot, NV, and another (forgot which) when trying a unlock. I believe it flashed fine and I didn't have to recover w fastboot.?

All you need is imei?

Sent from my LG-P769 running PAC-rom 4.3
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] elpuertorro:
Hmm isn't that the same as what it's done on the video that carloswii put up :confused:

that's what i followed and worked for me.

And to all it seems some of you, out of having no luck are trying other things in between. All i can say is if you noticed the success stories we all have something in common: we followed the tut as carloswii, Lelus posted and i did way back in here which is the same that is on video (only difference in the process is the rooting as some of us did it after we unlocked) for some took 1 try some took several tries over 3 days like me but we did get it , but none deviated from the ORIGINAL STEPS!

So my suggestion is( i know some of you are tired of doing it) stick to the original steps, forget about rooting until after you have unlocked.

as for signal honestly can't say that's a factor because some of us had no signal and some had at least 1 bar...so it's seems it's something else that triggers the unlock. so just keep trying and good luck!

And before someone ask how sure or why i say that or look at this guy he has some nerve after I've tried all.... do as i did READ THIS ENTIRE THREAD yes... all the way from op 1 by 1 and you will notice the same, all success unlocking was following the guide, as in not adding or trying other stuff in between. no other KDZ or process but the ones outlined in the original steps.

ps In no way i'm trying to knock off the ones trying other stuff to get a better unlock process, the info above is just for us noobs that want to just unlock and don't know much about fastboot and all that stuff ;)

So to noobs follow guide, even if it takes 3 days over and over the same steps (make sure you get the inverted logo THIS IS THE HINT YOU ARE DOING IT RIGHT if not start over)

To the pros and devs thank you for trying different and new stuff hopefully we get and easy and official unlocking process!

and to all Good luck!! :good:
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] asciix:

so what does this mean? lol

Thanks a lot.

I'm not sure what it means, but I see that your phone (MS769) differs from mine and omg (P769).

I wager that Lady also has a P769 with a recent build.

would the output had been different if i was on stock? im running a pac rom.

It means that LG or the carriers didn't change anything. It must be either devices are permanently locked after a failed attempt, or some devices might have a defect. However, we still need someone with a T-Mobile brand (new build) to confirm a successful unlock. Maybe the T-Mobile version changed something. Still not 100% sure since metro and t-mobile merged.

No, it's static information about your device.
