Okay... I'm going to trust you and try your method again tonight. Can you explain if you copied over the Lelus root while flashing and if you flashed the L9Recovery to flash the radio?

I think with this phone, the smallest details are what open the gates to freedom. How many hours did you spend sending the adb commands? I started feeling like a crazy person after a while.... lol.

but now i have upgraded it back up to v20h and i dont know what to do cause my computer recognizes it as a p760

and cdm/fastboot/adb interface will not recognize it as anything....

so how then do i use fast boot to repair it... fastboot wont pick it up

i am now reinstalling: super su, busy box, l9 recovery and cwm (which i dont think i installed in the first place...)

How did you run this fastboot under Linux? I have a 32-bit Linux box, and get:

[mrmma@localhost softbrick-fix]$ ./usbboot "p940-aboot.2nd" "p940-u-boot_fastboot.bin"

waiting for OMAP44xx device...

I tried the following:

1) following the hint, plug-in my phone with no battery. Nothing happens. I insert the battery, the phone boots into Charging mode: a big battery logo on screen, but nothing else, mean while the Linux stayes at 'waiting'

2) just have the phone on, insert USB, phone let me choice connection mode, I select "LG update", nothing on the computer side.

If nothing else, I can try to use adb and dd to flash the images?

either way i see that sentinent is a genious.

but i am planning on paying off this phone and getting an iphone 5c even though ive only had it for 2 months.

why an iphone?

i love music. nothing against android im just tired of the natural impulse to find out how to root and unlock the bootloader of a device i just got you know?

plus its just a phone.

because his is user modified by the phone its not unlocked original x and u.

[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] thasilenthacker:
if itll unlock our bootloader idgaf if its not original v20b lol as long as it does the job, ya know what im sayin.

im tired of fighting with this phone --_--

theres post a few pages back that has the adb command to pull the x and u ill find it for you

so this should do it also: adb shell su -c busybox dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 of=/sdcard/external_sd/p1.bin

to get x and u bins
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] kuma82:

Since you are unlocked it's a must you learn the unofficial fastboot IMO.

The first link is to download Lelus fastboot batch.

The 2 & 3 deal with installing fastboot, the 4 is how to use fastboot manually, and the last is the cwm image & the other fix you need (flashable boot screen & touch) .

fastboot flash u.img /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

right?
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] kuma82:
Yes the kdz contains it look at my previous post. Actually we just need 20b u-boot, x doesn't matter. The problem is T-Mobile u-boot (20F & H) don't get replaced by default, you have to do it manually.

[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] kuma82:
I have an original l9 through T-Mobile LG log on the left. I have unlocked two devices mine & a friends (his was a metropcs version). I did the whole waiting thing but I swapped the radio file while flashing 20b. I never turned off the device. I unlocked both devices on the first try. My friend broke the one he unlocked so he got a new metropcs and unlocked it on his own. He only waited 30 and it didn't work on the first try. I told him to wait an 40 to an hour and it worked on the second try.

Anyways here's the file. This will flash the 20b x & u, after you do that flash 20b kdz, and run the unlock stuff. Note, you don't need this zip if you already have the inverted/backwards LG logo at boot.

L9 User here, on metroPCS. My LGMS769 came stock with 10b, and it has a centered LG logo with no carrier branding.

I was able to root it a while ago using the offline kdz method + a modified bin I found on another forum, and it worked great.

[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] omgbossis21:
I just tried the spamming unlock command after flashing ics x and u for 760 then 20b (which I've tried many times). Didn't work as I figured it wouldn't. If I had two phones (one locked and one that won't) the first thing I would do is compare the apns and flash the unlocked phones NV partition to the locked one (after backing up of course as NV stores your imei) . Then try the unlock method.... if it worked we would know that LG is sending unlock tokens to specific phones and not others. The other thing I would do is examine the root folders and look for a file the unlocked model has that the locked doesnt. For example a nvalue or fuse value in a file. If all that failed I would begin flashing partitions like misc, mlt etc from unlocked to locked checking too see if any of them unlocks it.

Do you guys think that maybe the tokens are being delivered based on the production date of the phones? Maybe the newer ones with 20F are programmed to accept the commands after a certain amount of time passes? I'm just guessing.....this phone is such a nightmare.

would you believe that last week i knew nothing about this stuff? any way, i think an x+u from a "clean" phone (carrier free) will do the trick. v20b may be the only carrier free rom there is for jb, but the rom does not include u+h, so, we need some one who is running a phone that came with v20b factory installed. one of the other guys said he got his LGLL phone onlocked (below your post), so i need to ask him a few more questions to see if i can deduce what he may have stumbled across.

yeah, adb is hung on your computer. if you're running linux, type "killall adb" as root, then do it AGAIN, to make sure it died, and if the 2nd command returns with something like "no such process", that means you killed it, if it does NOT say that, then adb went ZOMBIE and you have to reboot your computer - it's aggravating. not sure how to do that on windows.

that furthers my suspicion about an on-chip flag, representing the carrier, on the LGLL phones, but not the LGLC phones.

doubt it; it seems that it's just "the phone". but, there is a way to unlock the LGLL's, and people ARE stumbling across it (or claim to be). there is no "method" for that phone yet, just people getting "lucky", and i still have to derive the method from the chaos...

actually, my mitochondria and tolemorase have co-evolved beyond being slaves to the cells that contain them, and they run the show now :D

yeah, there's a lot to read, i'll admit that, AND, it's chaotic right now, but, all of it is relevant to understanding ;)

if you have an LGLC phone, it may work, but then again, so may mine (well, lelus's, which i switched out a couple files to fix a problem for LGLC phones soft-locking). if he can give them to us, that would be worth a shot.

read my 3rd OP ;)

he's right about the x+u not getting replaced during reflashing (a LOT of things are NOT replaced, even though you would think they are).

[MENTION=4447066]kuma82[/MENTION], if you're 100% certain the KDZs contain the x+u, then, can you extract the x+u for us, from the v20b (europe, carrier-free), so we can give that a shot - i'd love to have them any way, just in case. i'm going to try later, but i may not be able to (i might have to go back to bed, my head is f*cked).

look at my 3rd OP, i show you how to do it 2 different ways, which may make it easier for you.
