I don't think there ever was a curse in the first place. I never used radio to unlock it now that I think about it and this was back in.... maybe June or July.

I took a look at my girl's mom's phone (it's MetroPCS) and it had that same model number. Weird.. I knew I saw it before somewhere.

742 friends on my Facebook, just shared it with them. This is what I posted.

"Looks like I'm one of the lucky few who have an unlocked bootloader on my LG Optimus L9, but not everyone else is as fortunate as me. If anyone owns an L9 with a locked bootloader (you probably do if you bought it and never attempted to hack into it), please sign this petition. If you don't own one, still sign it to show your support, please?

Having the bootloader unlocked will open up a whole new world of possibilities for everyone who owns an L9, for example are you tired of the way it looks and works right out the box? Wanna improve it and possibly make your phone look and work a million times better than what T-Mobile & LG offered you right out the box? Then this is for you! And I'll help you get your phone this way, if you just sign this petition. We only need 202 more signatures."

I had to exaggerate it, might get more attention this way :p

adb works in cwm too, no need to enable usb debugging mode

[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] carlosnumbertwo:
I'm 100% sure it's the right firmware and will fix the problem.

unzip v6.bin to sdcard

adb shell

su

echo 1 /sdcard/external_sd/v6.bin > /sys/devices/virtual/input/lge_touch/firmware

cat /sdcard/external_sd/v6.bin > /sys/devices/virtual/input/lge_touch/firmware

reboot

The cat command doesnt work, gives me a "no such file or directory error." Echo command works but does nothing after reboot. Problem still persist. Touch screen waaaay off.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] Lelus:
If you are in cwm:

adb push /path/to/v6.bin /tmp/
adb shell
adb su
cat /tmp/v6.bin > /sys/devices/virtual/input/lge_touch/firmware

It takes around one minute to flash the v6

I'm having trouble at the adb reboot oem-unlock step

it reboots my device, but I don't see any bootloader unlock confirmation screen

so far, I had flashed V20B_00.kdz, connected to wifi, and waited half an hour.

edit: I did this five times and got sick of it so I tried going back to stock and rooting with the new lelus method. now I have no superuser and no recovery, and the screen is still messed up.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] carloswii5:

So, does that mean a radio flash is needed beforehand? Or just good service?
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] Tablechair:
I don't think you need to flash any radio to get service. I unlocked months before we had a radio to flash on our device. Maybe it will help if your signal is not the best though.

So I'll need to have WiFi calling disabled to make sure the phone stays connected to the cell network. Do I need to have data enabled during the 30 minute period or is WiFi and a cell signal enough?

Okay, not good. I flashed V20B_00.kdz just like before, but now all the device does is show "Secure booting unsuccessful! Cause:"

I can get it into S/W upgrade mode but flashing gets stuck at 15%.

A quick response would be extremely appreciated if possible.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] carloswii5:

Okay. As soon as I get home tonight, I'm going to flash 10I followed by 20b and follow the video.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] bulletfreak:
i gave up on unlocking mine. I'm waiting for either the petition to get the rest of its signatures or for the Loki port. It's the newer T-Mobile phones that are the problem. Are you T-Mobile? Because that was a 20f T-Mobile kdz. If you are, it should ask you to update to 20h eventually.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] ttld1oh1:
Yes I am with T-Mobile. I got "Security Error" on boot (before trying to unlock the bootloader) and the only to get out was to connect the phone to LG (without changing the host file) to download and flash their current kdz. So I was already on 20h (which seems to have better battery life than 20f anyway)
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] bulletfreak:
I use 20f because ive never been able to root 20h. I always have supersu telling that binaries are mssing and it cant update them. Know how to fix this?
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] ttld1oh1:
Did you try to uninstall then reinstall it? By the way, do you use ext2sd and how did you install it?
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] bulletfreak:
Ive tried uninstalling supersu and reinstalling it, yes. I really don't have much experience with ext2sd but if i'm not mistaking it doesn't work because of our emulated storage.

Edit: GL to SD should work if your rooted
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] LaDY Vengeance:
I have a rooted 20h, [MENTION=5398167]bulletfreak[/MENTION]. Happens to me when I forget to disable Lookout.

BTW, I'm charging my battery now. Then, I'll start flashing those two euro kdz's.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] ttld1oh1:
Ext2sd works fine for me. I had the same SuperSu problem after making some changes in 97extsd2sd. Furthermore, after a few more reboots, the "Security Error" and "Encrypting / Reset Phone" problem occurred.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] LaDY Vengeance:

Hmmmm. . .interesting

Well I flashed 10g on Saturday at 9:00 pm and kept it until Tuesday afternoon at which time i flashed v20b kdz with signal. . .4 hours later I tried the command and got what I expected. .nothing. BUT I did find something interesting. . .when you turn your phone off while on v20b and hold the volume up button, the menu button and the power button until the screen turns on then release only the power button you will be in the inverted "RECOVERY MODE." I tried the adb oem-unlock because fastboot commands did not work at all. The only ting I could do is adb reboot and that was it. Now I'm back on v20f and I don't have any RECOVERY MODE on this variant. I'm beginning to think that we either do not have a bootloader or it cannot be accessed by any means on this phone. I checked out the build.prop on the euro and it looks like they have the same bootloader version but I'm curious as to what is said on the unlocked bootloader version. . .anyone?

Well I think that maybe I should just flash (via offline kdz) the 10g and then flash (offline kdz) v20b. . .but that doesn't make sense. I did find something out though. I flashed the v20b on my phone and when I hooked up the phone to the computer it reads LG-P769 BUT when I installed the drivers again (this is after you flash the v20b ROM) then it reads it at LG-P760. So maybe there is something about our computers recognizing the phone as P769 and sending the command to the P760 which may "confuse" the program?

right now I want to concentrate on the recovery mode in v20b. It says something about installing or recovering and once finished just restart phone for normal use. While I was on this mode my computer was able to "see" the phone via adb devices. adb oem unlock said FAILED blah, blah, blah, I can't remember. but adb oem-unlock is not a command so it says.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] mrshonuff:
It's a lot of people, like myself who has been unable to unlock the bl. I guess I will be waiting until someone comes up with a better way to. It sucks because I want to put a different rom on my phone :mad:.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] LaDY Vengeance:
Lol... I fell asleep while waiting. Anyway, it didn't work. The thing about there not being a bootloader makes no sense. When you access the hidden menu, it does show a locked bootloader. LG must have used a different way to have a bootloader on this thing.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] Nathan.7118391:
Good point, do you think we have exhausted our tries on this thing? I know people keep saying that you could perma-lock your phone due to excessive trying. How many times can we try?
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] LaDY Vengeance:
I read that someone tried over 9 times before unlocking it. I get this feeling that you need to try several times to get to the elusive fastboot to unlock.

Either that or some newer devices have it disabled. Is there some combination of keys that need to be pressed while either plugging in or turning on the phone?
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] omgbossis21:
That recovery mode is on our phone but I forgot the key combo. Its for service employees to pull your data off your phone before restoring it. I'm almost certain either LG is not sending the unlock bit to specific imeis.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] Nathan.7118391:
QUESTION: When you type in adb devices and you get that long string of numbers. . .what are those numbers? Is it your imei number? The reason I ask is because when I did the numbers today I got a whole different set of numbers it seems like. Now I can't tell you number by number but it didn't look that easy. . .weird.

EDIT: Ok here is some more information. . .I manually put my phone in fastboot mode but when i typed in fastboot oem-unlock it gave me nothings BUT when I typed fastboot oem unlock it said FAILED (failed in remote). Something like that so i was wondering why this is happening. So I put used the adb commands and did an adb reboot recovery but it gave me the dead android. So when I get home I'm going to delete the custom recovery and see where exactly that takes me. Also I'm going to try to get the wi-fi working on this thing! I have service but my wi-fi includes a "1" and I can't hit that button for NOTHING! I don't want to change it either because all of my stuff is on it as well. . .maybe I'll do an advance restore in cwm to just restore my data. . .

I think I'm giving this a rest. . .I have determined that T-Mobile (Not LG like some people think) is blocking the bootloader access. When I get to adb and check commands I should be able to access the bootloader with adb reboot-bootloader or if anything get some kind of access denied, unauthorized, failed. . something that acknowloedges the command did not go through. I get nothing of the sort but when i manually place the phone in fastboot mode and give the command fastboot oem unlock it gives me a response:

. . .

FAILED (remote failure)

and simply reboots. This is the only acknowledgement that I'm doing something to access the bootloader or oem menu. Many people say that there is a way to access fastboot with a key combo but I can't figure it out. Also, what does safe mode do? For those of you who do not know you can hold volume down while the splash animation is going until the boot up and on the left hand side it will read "Safe Mode". So it's bon voyage. . .for now!
