[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] DannyVanSantangelo:
Lol what a baby!

Yeah, from "unlocked bootloaders for everyone" to the Jesse Ventura show in sixty-two pages!

Throw in a change of screen name; a few thousand "reboot oem-unlock"s; some shameless self-promotion aaaaaaand...

he's out.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] thasilenthacker:

You poor thing, Lady V! (I sympathise only because I did the same lol). Not exactly a scientific solution, IMO.

I'm wondering tho, in all sixty-three(?) pages, did anyone succeed? Forgive me for not re-reading it all - gets a bit too manic for me back there <-----.

CROSSFREEZE, did I read that you had CM 10 working (albeit with some problems)?

Are you logo left? How did you do it? I'm guessing not by spamming the above command.

Pray tell.

(Thank you in advance for any explanation).

I'm actually getting used to it. Sure I miss CyanogenMod (No I'm not going to use his terminology) but I've got this to the point that it's not that bad.

Maybe that's what LG wants. Us to conform to what there is.

Yup. Me too....
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] LaDY Vengeance:
If the G2x can have CyanogenMod, why can't we? The argument of money makes no sense. People can easily buy the G2x which is similar to the L9 real cheap now.

My brother has it and runs CyanogenMod 9. Why lock it so tight? This whole thing with the inverted screen and waiting seems like such a joke.

If people that have an expensive Xperia Z and are allowed to risk their warranty, why does cheaper L9, which can be replaced without much financial sacrifice, need such high security?

Europe can have the luxury but not the USA. It reminds me of the time I got discriminated at school. Sure, it's not racial but it's still choosing to give to one and not the other.

Corporations are making our decisions and saying what and what doesn't benefit us. So Europe can toss out the warranty and we can't? Europe can have unofficial firmware but we can't?

Sorry for the rant....lol. I love political science.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] KittyMouse:
Poli-Sci huh?

Then I suggest that Capitalism, wall St. and profit margins are the reason...

I can't load 1 app with 500mb space available.... who do I rant to??!? Haha

btw.... change.org petition for the L9
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] LaDY Vengeance:
Yes! Change.org! I was thinking about doing that and checking to see how many people want this. But, I also started a bounty thread with epic fail as the result....lol.

If I go to change.org, will you guys give a FREE signature? Notice that I emphasize free....as in no cost. I will start it but need the support. Freedom or victims of capitalism?

Well the OP was moving in the write direction with trying to create a new u-boot. I stubbled on to a great find thanks to Nathan.7118391. He found that if you hold the vol (-) while entering the unofficial fastboot, you will get some kind of hidden menu with 3 options before going into fastboot, everything happens so fast. So I was surprised to get something new.

Get this I held the volume up button, while entering fastboot, and I got an inverted s/w upgrade mode, that looks just like the fastboot, it must be the p940 aboot. All the unofficial fastboot stuff may just be the key to getting around the bootloader. I'm no dev, so creating a u-boot or aboot is out of my league. Hopefully [MENTION=2159458]Lelus[/MENTION] can take a look at and come up with something.

[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] ciris:
I say use CWM and Titanium to back your phone up and try again with unlocking the bootloader. Flash Euro V20B rom, get superuser and cwm mod on there to flash the required radio/baseband version, setup and connect to wifi, and also make sure you have data signal on your phone and wait at least 30min. I followed this video for a little help. There is an important step missing in regards to using adb to push superuser to the phone. That can be found in another tutorial. Hopefully you can get it unlocked. The second time worked like a charm for me, though the main difference this time was that I setup/connected my wifi and flashed the correct baseband with v20b.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] KittyMouse:
lgpwn.APK root

I just did a factory reset. BTW. 4shared has lgpwn.apk that is an EASY, fast root.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] LaDY Vengeance:
Do you have a T-Mobile P769? I tried this about three times last Friday and nothing. Which kdz did you have before flashing 20b?
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] ciris:
Yes I have a Tmobile LG-P769 with the LG logo on the upper left corner of the phone. I dont remember which KDZ I had before flashing but I remeber I was on ICS which I think was V10G and that was what I flashed back to when I failed the first time. But again the first time I failed on it, I didnt flash the corresponding radio when I kdz'd to V20B. The radio version SIC 1227 is the one needed for V20B. After getting that connect to your wifi, make sure data is on and hopefully youll get lucky with the unlock command.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] LaDY Vengeance:
Hmmm. I may just try this. I have a feeling that since yours shipped with ics, it may have fastboot to get to the bootloader.

My P769 shipped with jb. I'm not a dev or anything. I just read what LG does with other midrange phones and they always remove access to the bootloader after a firmware update.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] omgbossis21:
sorry to bump such an old thread guys (and it seems you guys have the unlock down pretty well these days?)..... I was just going through my profile and looking to change some things since I'm going to start releasing builds of cyanogenmod for some devices (once with a community still hoping for support that have had some support for the devices at least) and some klte varients of my s5. When going through my profile I came across all these p769 threads as most thanked , mentioned etc and had to reread a few! Having learned a lot since this time period I thought it would be nice to look back at what I was discussing with others. This issue this guy had here was gsc issues would of likely been resolved (and time consuming) by trying different builds of Ubuntu or other Linux systems. Seems these days the gsc guys favor specific Linux environments! Looking about about what he was posting about a unlock with usb ..... He had some good ideas but those would of likely need to be of done over a jtag connection where you have an advantage at security implements. Anyways, seems you guys even have a cm13 build now (I came here to see if you did and if not to see if it was a device I was interested in showing some love to depending on how recent, previous builds have been). Congrats to everyone, I'm sure this phone can run cm13 amazing!

1) is the phone a WARRANTY replacement?

No, it was brand new back when I bought it around February.

2) did you TRY to unlock the bootloader?

Yes, I've tried that method with the "adb reboot oem-unlock" but just a normal reboot so far. I saw in another post something about using the P765 KDZ to unlock it since it was simpler for that one. But haven't seen anything else about it.

3) did you SUCCEED in unlocking the bootloader?

Big negative on that one.

4) did you softbrick the phone at any point, really badly, then unbrick it?

Yeah, but that was a long time ago, can't remember HOW I softbricked it.

4.1) if you softbricked it, did you do so by installing CM on a LOCKED bootloader?

I think it had to do with a L9Recovery thing. But I remember trying to install CM with that was pointless.

5) did you flash v20B onto it later?

I know I did the original OTA the first time around, then rooted. For the later versions I'd hold back until there was an edited HEX for that new version.

5.1) if so, after issuing the oem-unlock, does it hang at reboot and go to the battery screen, about the 4th try?

I've already tried around 6 times with the P760's KDZ installed, but nothing so far.

i'm also a noob, but, i believe that the binarys are always over written, but tmo kdzs use the same adbd and adb - even from 10g to 20d - it changes at v20f. then again, i'm examining CWM backups, because i don't know how to extract KDZs to view their contents.

also, i'm not a desktop or OS developer (but i AM a web developer), so i don't know a whole lot about compilers, etc, nor hex editing, nor what any decompiled output signifies, but, i know a lot of web programming, and enough desktop programming (C++ and java) to make sense of some of it. so, what did you use to decompile it? are you on widnows or linux?

T-Mobile has been playing dirty, the 20F & H u-boot don't get replaced while flashing a kdz. You have to replace it with the unofficial fastboot or root. The good thing is, they (20F & H) recognize if the bootloader is unlocked. If you flash an ice-cream (or Wind or MetroPCS) u-boot you will get a security error.

Don't forget to thank navossoc & xonar_ ;)

You know if you use the xda app there is no daily limit for the thanks button.
