Yeah, I guess if keeping it in the same state is too complicated, restoring to the factory ICS would be fine too.

I'm still wondering though, if I do your process mentioned at step 2 above, will I get my bootloader unlocked? I'm a newbie in that kind of stuff, but I've seen articles mentioning something, that you can only unlock the bootloader when being on Jelly Bean.

Thanks again.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] Nathan.7118391:
Voodoo rootkeeper is needed for you to retain root via ota. Or you can riot again if it's no problem.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] artit:
It's possible but rooting L9 ICS is not an easy one-click process. If you want to try, take a look here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2173465.

For what you want to do you should

1. Try to offline flash your current stock rom first. This make sure that you familair with offline flash and you can flash stock rom back if rooting process go wrong. Refer to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2085344

This process don't delete your data if you do it right.

2. Get modified .bin file for your rom if any. If there're no modified .bin for your rom, you must make one. It require editing binary file with hex editor. There're some thread about this somewhere in the forum.

3. Root your phone with http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2173465. Almost same process as offline flash but you need to add some stuff to your phone and replace some files while flashing kdz.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] mrmathematica:
No you won't get your bootloader unlocked. It is true that only official P760 JB supports bootloader-unlocking, but that is an option, not a necessity (which you can deal later if you want to).

Also artit is right that ROOT ICS is not one-click process. I followed cmahendra's excellent tutorial and get things done on first try, but things differ for different person.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] Nathan.7118391:
Root for JB

If you don't want to do the complicated root method for ICS then just wait until you upgrade to jelly bean and then go here. ICS was a bit difficult to root but once you do it then you can get it done with your eyes closed. Cmahendra has a great tutorial along with Lelus method it's great! Good luck!!
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] YPwn:
Yeah, I guess it's not that hard, I'll try to do it. It's similar to the method for flashing an LG KM900 which I had before (non Android). I'll try it and report here.

I hope I can find a KDZ matching by current firmware, though. :P

Okay, so I managed to root ICS and install the recovery then backup my firmware.

Although when I installed the Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper and made a temporary unroot, I immediately went to the Software Update option on my phone. It downloaded the update and rebooted. Then soon after a while I got an error "Err:0x13e", then it rebooted back into Android and said something like "unexpected error occured while upgrading" (not precise message).

I'm stuck at this point. What should I do now? Has anyone experienced this before?

Thanks.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] Nathan.7118391:
So are you saying your phone is dead or what? Did it reboot and die? More details please. And you weren't suppose to make a temp unroot, you were suppose to protect root.

[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] YPwn:
No, it's not dead. It throws an error "Err:0x13e" during the "Upgrading Firmware" stage, then it fails and reboots back to Android.

I tried everything in Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper, it still didn't work.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] Nathan.7118391:
The reason i't snot working is because of the custom recovery. you have to delete cwm so that the upgrade can boot to original recovery and upgrade your phone. Be sure to get into Voodoo and protect root. That will be important after you upgrade.

After the upgrade go into google play and install Voodoo then recover root.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] YPwn:
Thanks, I see now. Though I decided to flash a Jelly Bean KDZ instead, then do a factory restore. Both my root and CWM were gone, so I rooted again using the LGPwn method, which worked just fine. Afterwards, I installed the same recovery I had on ICS, and now everything is working fine. :laugh:

I guess I don't have any more questions regarding my topic.

I recently installed a 4.3 rom Kangabean and the install went fine. However on first reboot, I got a yellow triangle warning me that the software was not authorized by att has been found on your phone.

Holding down power and volume down then get me the custom icon

The phone is MDL and the rom is supposed to be loki'd

How do I get rid of this crap and be able to reboot into recovery.

Flashtool says > Drivers need to be installed

After the step 2.5, the device shows the green light (indicating the flashmode)

but in the Flashtool it says :

Apparently, the device goes into flashmode but flashtool doesn't detect it in there maybe because of some missing drivers, and the device turns off again. (If I'm getting it right)

I then tried to install drivers via C:/Flashtool/drivers/Flashtool-drivers.exe >> Xperia Z and SO-02E drivers + Flashmode Drivers + Flashboot Drivers

Repeating the process, gives the same results as mentioned above.

Please help.
[Xperia SP Android Development] jackaros:
By Sellecting the Xperia Z you install the drivers for the Xperia Z NOT the SP.Shut your phone without opening flashtool then plug the cable while holding down the Volume Down button (so it boots in flashmode).

Your PC will install the Flashmode drivers

Then To be sure open flashtool click devices and then check drivers

It should show some items in the list

( I got this from mine

If you dont see anything a trick that i did and worked for me is that i go to Devices --> Manage --> Import --> Sony Xperia SP

If you dont get anything in "Import" you must go to Devices --> Manage --> Export --> Xperia SP --> Devices --> Manage --> Import --> Sony Xperia SP

I hope this will fix your driver problem.

[Xperia SP Android Development] jackaros:
245 is the new firmware

1 u flash 257

2 u root it

3 u flash 245 to get up to date

Simple as that

Edit : also download the original files from this post.

Ps: when i did the procedure it showed that my firmware version after flashing was 257 anyway try to root it and then flash 245 it may be just a display bug

[Xperia SP Android Development] sarkissmae:
hello, sorry to interrupt but i guess this is a very noob question. i can't flash the kernel only (files provided by doomlord). after opening the flashtool, i select flashmode and after that, in selecting the firmware, there's no .257 kernel only, and flashtool doesn't recognize the files because its not in the ftf format because its in the .zip format. please help me on what to do, cause i'm not getting it. and can someone give me a clear instruction on how to flash the kernel only. thank you in advance.

edit: problem solved! just a little google will help :P
[Xperia SP Android Development] jackaros:
Ok thanks for the notice but you can post it anyway so the next member with the same problem can see it
[Xperia SP Android Development] sarkissmae:
i just realize that the file extensions of each file is hidden that's why i cannot change it at all. for example, the file provided by doomlord, it is in the .zip format, if i don't delete the .zip extension, it will not change at all even though i put .ftf extension on the last part of the file. so what i did is i go to control panel > folder options > under the View tab, i uncheck the hide extensions for known file type. after that, you can remove the .zip extension and change it to .ftf. i just realized this after searching at google. i hope this can help other members out there who has experienced the same difficulty as me.

If you root the .211 version and THEN update your phone will return to stock and you WILL NOT be rooted

FIRST update to the .245 version and THEN root the phone so you will be rooted

1) UPDATE 2) ROOT

I know i have been a giant idiot
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nhb13612:
One way, I think would be to reflash your current rom.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ads2996:
i had thought of that, but that means a lot of backing up and so forth
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
You won't need to wipe data if you're flashing the same ROM but yes, you should always backup. Always take a Nandroid backup before flashing ANYTHING. Also think about using Titanium backup for individual apps.

You should read:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nhb13612:
In that case, I think one option for you to preserve stock look/icons would be to heed the earlier post/s by rootsu - flash stock firmware from your region/country using Odin. It shouldn't take that long.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ads2996:
