i might have a way to permanently get around having to flash with that f*ckin windows LGMS, but, it could be over a 1gb download (i dunno, it might be much smaller after zipped). working on doing what i have BEEN trying to do for days, and been held back on, by being sick and fighting with software... i'll let you know if any of it is worth mentioning... i also made a video for using a virtualmachine on linux and using the KDZ LGMS (for noobs trying to root-only), but haven't uploaded them yet.

[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] villan.co:
i think what's going on with the v20B vs the v20F is that the B can not properly communicate with the hardware to SET the bootloader-lock-status, because the hardware is slightly different from what it's expecting - which may be FINE on LGLC phones, but, on LGLL phones it MAY make a difference - after all, there IS a very SLIGHT difference in the hardware model - "bk" vs "bkgo".

what i've been TRYING to do, is catch the 769.dll file (which i got), and RENAME it to 760.dll, and then flash v20B onto it, and switch out the DLL file BEFORE it starts flashing to the device, so that i can test that theory... but, i'm stuck fighting with windows, virtual machines, software, and viruses (human virus, not computer (cytomegalo, et al)), so, i haven't been able to actually TRY it yet, because i can't get the phone to flash using all this crap, and it's probably because i don't have an LGE android install already up and running (the other phone is running cyomod), so that i can CONNECT to windows in all the modes so that windows can configure all the drivers - i already flashed v20F's x-loader and u-boot and recovery.img back to it, to see if it would help, and it does not. i'm so f*cking sick of windows. so many reasons to leave it for ginux. since i have my bootloader unlocked on my other phone, i may actually put LGE android back on it long enough to get windows to work with it - if i can even do that...

the OTHER thing in wanted to try, was switching out the "keys" file in the recovery.img's of v20b and v20f, but now i forgot the whole point to that, since u-booting with v20f into v20b isn't going to make any difference, and vice versa... so i think that one is moot. edit - now i remember why i was going to try this. i figured it might be possible that the u-boot from the v20F could be used to interface with the device more accurately, but, the adbd from the v20B could be used to bypass the adbd from v20F. but, again, this is unlikely to work... bleh!

nothing on the hidden menu. the hidden-menu-in-the-hidden-menu is back-burner, because i'd have to do a lot more learning and working to see if that's legit and see where it is being set, so that i could write an unlocker.apk to unlock rooted phones, if possible.

the "last resort" is to try to find where the lock status is being checked in u-boot, and possibly change that bit value to evaluate to "not" it (eg, if bootloader-lock-status = TRUE then..." instead of "false"), so that if it is LOCKED, the u-boot will think it's unlocked - effectively, a "soft-unlock" hack - and it may not work as expected - it may get you to boot up another system (eh, cyomod), but the system may also have to be hacked to fully be "soft-unlocked".

Villan if its not to much to ask. cant you just repartition atleast 40 gigabytes of your hard drive and install windows on it for the mean time? i mean i really think that adb going through a virtual machine is pretty sketchy..
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] villan.co:
well you can only have 4 primary partitions on a disk drive, per some antiquainted standard (not sure which one), and i've already used all 4 (i always setup "/boot" (or, in this case "/efi") "/" "swap" and "/storage"). besides, it appears that it's truly an issue of not being able to CONNECT to windows in all the usb modes - my brother's windows-8 computer was giving me the same jazz. he's gonna leave it unlocked so that i can TRY to get it fully flashed again using his, and then i can come back to mine and connect in all the various modes. that's a bonus of room-mating with your bro, i guess :D.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] MoonMaster345:
I was having problem with my macbook pro with windows 8. keep in mind that this one has usb3 ports and im assuming his does too.

windows 8 + usb3 ports cause adb to not work.

just in case that might be giving you problems.

[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] ciris:
Thanks for this Villan!

Just want to make sure I have this right. The current state of affairs when it comes to attempting to unlock the bootloader to a P769 Tmobile version with the LGLL (LG Logo on left side) is that its a shot in the dark?

I've tried it once before, but that was before Villan came with his tools. Just want to know if its worth trying and if I have a much better shot at it with Villan tools.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] villan.co:
as of now, yes, that is correct, unfortunately.

no, villan tools make sure you can recover your bricked phone in special cases of boot-loops, and other install/flashing problems. they do not help you unlock it, and may not ever be able to help you with that part, depending on what the mechanism ends up being.

for every one else: i have been fighting with windows (both virtualized and non-virtualized), trying to get it to flash my damned phone, but it keeps loosing the connection during the flashing process, and i've tried all the fixes i've used before that worked. the problem, i suspect, is that i can not setup the vindows install to fully work with the damned phone - i can not connect in MTP, PTP, and LGE mode, because i don't have an LGE android install - the unlocked phone is running cyomod, and the locked phone won't connect because vindows has not had a p769 connected in all modes yet. i'm retarded, i think, because i never thought to ask one of you for your LG executable that runs when you connect in LG software mode. i think that if one of you connect your phone to your computer in LG software mode, and get that EXE installer that it shows, and attach it, that MIGHT fix my problem, so that i can try to flash the locked phone, and continue trying to unlock it. until i can get this to flash, i'm kinda stuck without any more options.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] ciris:
Ive done it once already as others have so they should have it. Ill have to try and look for it. Or you could probably flash back the unlocked phone to stock and connect it to your windows install and get the EXE's that way.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] thasilenthacker:
put it into s/w upgrade mode thats the only way you can connect when using when your mtp, lg mode usb dont work. now u see what i meant about my usb not working anymore including adb. but my new phone should be here from today to monday :)
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] kuma82:
Sorry bud but that's not going to help you. Dump the persist.img from your unlocked phone and flash it to your other phone with fastboot (haven't tried it this way, should work). It has to be the persist image. The reason why I know this is because, I once flashed a corrupt persist.img and my phone wouldn't connect (while on stock OS). I didn't have the extraction tool working 100% that's why my extracted persist.img was corrupt. The persist image was the only image I flashed that was corrupt.

Anyways, I flashed my backup persist.img (thru a cwm flashable zip) and my phone started operating properly again.

[MENTION=5407031]thasilenthacker[/MENTION]

Maybe the image you downloaded was corrupt, and that's why it didn't work for you.

Boot into cwm recovery and push the image to your externa_sd with adb. ADB should work in cwm.

I have problems in recognizing phone in any mode by VirtualBox too, my case is the opposite:

I have windows on my PC and Ubuntu in my VirtualBox. I can never go into Ubuntu and use my phone with it.

The only thing i can recommend you is installing Windows in your HardDrive in side of Linux, but you will have to install Grub again, because Windows boot manager overwrite it (i don't know how to do it, but google will help us for sure)

I really apreciate everything your doing for try to unlock our phones, thanks and if want someone to test something, you can count on me (but i don't have P769, mine is P768)

Someone here (i can't remember now the guy's name) said that our phone doesn't have an efuse that blows up and don't allow us to unlock the phone - this is what i was afraid of, and he said more things, that the system is blocking our access to bootloader etc. I just want to know if he have sure of these afirmations, if so, we can have hope :D
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] LaDY Vengeance:
The thing is one of the things needed is unlockable firmware installed. I read that over at the Optimus 4X area. It is a universal method that LG has and the closest thing we have is euro 20b which doesn't seem to work on newer P769s that shipped with JB. The L9 II is already out and there still isn't a way to easily unlock this thing.

i had the same problem on saturday(no cwm andfastboot/adb not recognizing my phone), so hopefully my troubleshooting can help you, and as long as you are getting a new phone, maybe you can have one to oem-unlock**** until you figure it out.

1. i downloaded LGMobile support tool off the internet

(and since i used the offline flash for v20b, if you did too use steps A, B, C)

A. I had to go into C:/windows>system32>drivers>ect/host

and remove the two lines:

127.0.0.1 csmg.lgmobile.com

127.0.0.1 csmgdl.lgmobile.com

B. Close your small http server (shttps)

C. Uninstall LG UNITED MOBILE DRIVER

2. Launch LGMobile support tool

A. select your driver (you might have to plug your phone in for this im going off memory) hence L9P769bk, it will ask you to unplug the device while its installing

B.Plug your phone back in, in the top right corner there should be one or two buttons but one of them will say something about RESTORE UPDATE, select that and let the process begin.

-this took me about two hours to complete

-my phone became a P769 in the eyes of my computer again

-its should update it to the v20h kdz of which there is no root for so if you need to cwm restore you will have to flash back down to your select firmware and go from there.

P.S. if your touch screen is still messed up i used a super easy method from "pinoyto" "Lelus" and "cmahendra" where you install a zip through cwm found in the zip on http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2277639

I DO NOT PRETEND TO KNOW ANYTHING MORE THAN WHAT I HAVE READ ON THESE FORUMS, I SIMPLY WISH TO SHARE WHAT WORKED FOR ME WITH YOU... GOOD LUCK.

DIRECTED AT ANYONE ELSE WHO CAN GIVE ME SOME HELP

-i unlocked my bootloader a week ago(ran oem-unlock got the screen and hit unlock), after watching and reading [MENTION=5327764]villan.co[/MENTION] posts/videos i have come to the conclusion that all i need to do is run his villan-kit on my phone and flash cyanogenmod

-im currently running a v20f rooted firmware and have a LGLL with tmobile

-whenever i go in to S/W UPDATE mode it says my bootloaders unlocked in the top right

-but when i go into the 3845#*769# menu it says my bootloaders locked

-so i have come to the conclusion that my bootloaders "soft"locked

So where i go from here is:

-flash 20b kdz, and then do the villan-kit exempting ./clockwork.sh

OR

-just do the villan-kit exempting ./clockwork.sh

And can i just do the whole villan kit and flash Cyanogen through CWM?

i had locked myself out of my XDA account on accident :D - here's the fix: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=46202294

if you just plug your phone into your computer in LG software mode, it should show you the exe provided by lg at the root of the new drive under "my computer", same for MTP mode, and both may be the SAME exe possibly. it is waaay faster to plugin your phone and copy the exe and upload it, than it is for me to flash my phone twice, and, i can't even flash the unlocked phone, because i don't have the drivers configured, which is why i'm asking for the exe.

it seemed to work for me before, so, i'm going to try again, to be sure. the connection mode of the phone makes no difference. when LGMS wants your phone to go into s/w update mode, it will put it into SW upgrade mode. also, i've already tried all the various way of connecting.

i've already tried flashing all that back, from images i extracted from v20f and v20b. that's not working. i even tried yours. its because vindows has not configured the drivers for the various connection modes, because i've never had an LGE install running and connected to the vindows install in all the various modes. my brother already uninstalled the drivers a long time ago on his computer, which is why i'm experiencing the same problems on his. this is why i think the exe's might have some thing to do with it - they are only needed so that vindows can configure how to talk to the phone in the LG software mode and MTP mode - that's why LG is providing them.

which is why we need v20B installed, and the v20f's dll file may make the difference. i'm surprised no one else has tried it already, instead of waiting on me to do it.

see guys, that's what i've been saying, lol ;) - the reason it does not work EASILY is because it was made for the p760, and not the p769, which is WHY i want to try the dll swap - i think the dll is configuring HOW the v20b gets installed (how it interfaces with the hardware in the u-boot or x-loader).
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] villan.co:
any way, like i said, unless i get an exe from some one, which will only take them a few seconds to get from their phone, i can't flash EITHER of my phones any more, using LGMS - so, i can't find a way to unlock the 2nd phone.

unnlleeessssss.................. wait, i wanna try the exe before i try what i just thought of - using TWRP or CWM to flash a CWM/TWRP backup of v20f onto the UNLOCKED phone, so that i have an LGE install on my phone WITHOUT LGSM, which i can then use to get vindows to configure the drivers for LGSM to connect to the phone - don't know why i didn't think of that before... but i'm trying some one's exe FIRST, because it's way faster for me, and will only take you a few seconds to get it from your phone for me.

i just need that exe file. that's it. plug your phone into windows in MTP or LG software mode, and open the phone's drive under my computer, and there should be an LG-provided exe right there, which is configured to auto-run, so that vindows can configure the drivers to properly connect to the phone. that's it. that's all i need. just plugin your phone, and copy that exe, and upload it (may have to zip it first).

well, at least you tried. but, you don't get it from droid, you get it from windows, when you connect to it. don't worry, since no one else seems that interested in that 1 simple task, i am now flashing v20f back onto my unlocked phone. edit: it does seem that it does not show up for WINDOWS users, only for GINUX users, so, i guess i can't criticize - my bad on the sarcasm.

i've read from several other posts that the lge hidden menu report of your booloader lock flag is not reliable. the most reliable method of checking your unlocked status is the s/w update screen. if S/W update says you're unlocked, then, you're unlocked. go ahead and flash cyomod. if you brick it, the villan kit will unbrick it for you (if you're using ginux - it doesn't work on windows).
