Yep, it runs on XP just fine not only is my neighbors xp but my old laptop is xp and i had flashed KDZs on my p870 several times with it using the same offline method. Ive never heard this, I have heard people having issues with windows 8 but never xp. The language problem is related to something else because thats the issue I was having on my windows 8 x64 computer that caused me to use my neighbors im the first place. I feel your pain as well. It was FOREVER before the bootloader got cracked on the p870, thats why I honestly think it will be cracked because we had felt this helpless and pretty much gave up, then just one day without ANY warning a new developer popped in and cracked it in a matter of a week or so! :) I ended up passing it on to my g/f and was acctually gonna steal it back and give her the L9 after many failed attempts on unlocking mine! Luckily I FINALLY got.:p I really should have kept it tho, it has a better cpu and gpu but I just wanted something new!

If we can make it (u-boot) compatible with the P940 2nd bootloader (aboot) we should be able to bypass the security check on the u-boot. Well the x & u lol.

Or

Create/port a p940 aboot that is compatible to our u.

You guys have heart. I have been trying to 2 weeks to unlock the bootloader with no success. Thanks for all your effort guys and gals
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] omgbossis21:
An aboot is a little different than the x & u. Im willing to bet that if you tried to use loki on that aboot it would quite possibly work because the lg motion and a few other lg phones are already included for use with loki and its lokied images. If not It could be easily added to it. The aboot would have to be modified as im sure the screens are not the same so nothing would be visible. When I had the lg motion we were switching out the aboot image with ones from similar chipsets hoping an unlocked one would unlock it. The optimus g or nexus (cant remember) would boot the phone and it would work but there would be no screen lit up. I wouldn't mind looking into that aboot.img though.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] fenerbahce:
have you heard about this unlocking method before?

hi guys,

I could not unlock the ms769 also, after trying it was mirrored and was not working at all.

anyways, i found a repairer in my city, they have octopusbox. :)

with octopusbox box, he could reset the phone to factory settings, changed the IMEI to an old nokia phone :) (in my country unregistered IMEI's do not work, you have to pay for registration), and unlocked the SIM lock. :)

this octopus box can change everything on the phone, IMEI, bluetooth address, wifi address, and unlock the SIM lock.

what it can not do is unlock the bootloader. :)

so anyways, i had a sony xperia phone before. and i could unlock the bootloader of xperia with official support.

here is the link.

unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions

we need this kind of official support,

"adb reboot oem-unlock" simply it does not work!!! :mad:

what sony does is this:

"fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xKEY" :good:

in which the KEY is calculated online, and it is calculated for the specific IMEI.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] shinobisoft:
The "unlock" feature has been removed from all L9 variants, stock that is, except for the P760. There are tedious workarounds tho. I'm hoping to figure something else out.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] Sp4rrow:
It's not so sure that the 760 still has the unlock feature present. I USE.760 and tried every.described method of unlocking and still no-go. The official unlock process is somehow network related (data connection must be active) so it may be temporarily affected by LG (?)
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] shinobisoft:
Ok. As of V20H in any case, only the P760 has the option to unlock. That was my last official update. My info comes straight from LGs V20H sources. I made a post about it a couple pages back.

I don't understand why LG would have SOME people blocked out and not others. I unlocked mine around a month ago and then another not even a week ago. So it would have to be selective process or random at that. Strange. My theory is if someone programmed it, someone can crack it! Lets hope soon, I hate reading about the people going threw all the trouble MULTIPLE times with no luck.

Hi, I've tried about 5 times ,following the unlock thread and had no success unlocking my LG 769... I have unlocked my phone to any network using a code from a well known auction site, I am using AT&T ... will this be causing the problem? I did try with the Metro Pcs sim but did not activate or put credit on it .
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] shinobisoft:
I'd say you still have TMobiles uboot and xloader. SIM unlocking won't remove the bootloader lock. It is compiled in to uboot.

Hey, do you guys think LG blocked this "unlock token" which is given over network (this is why the 30 minutes wait right?) only to europe?

I will try to be more clear, my english is bad.

Maybe if we use a proxy program to simulate we are in europe, maybe the procedure works right? but i don't know how to do that, exists apps for Desktop that actually do that, but how to do this on the phone?

We can try using THIS or any other similar to fake our address to an european one and THIS to do the inverse tether

If anyone knows this stuff and would like to give it a try, do it and report back, maybe this way it works, i dont know. I'm saying this because when i was using the L9, i remember in hidden menu > Module Test > FOTA Test > DM Test > Default Server Setting - it aways return me something like access denied to the page

I have no idea what we are trying to look for. After skimming some codes, I can see that some parts of the codes treat the P760 & P768 the same but P769 differently; some treat all of them the same; and also some treat all of them differently. I don't believe that changing the codes from

I have a p760 and runing v20i. The phone doesn't boot anymore in fastboot, so i guess bootloader unlocking is gone.

[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] LaDY Vengeance:
And rolling back doesn't work...using unofficial fastboot to erase everything and flashing a previous kdz doesn't work...it's as if LG disabled fastboot with a certain version and there is no way to get it back. Unless someone here can find a way to turn it back on.

Can we change the host file in /system/etc/hosts like we do with the offline flash?
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] shinobisoft:
Quite possibly, but for what result? We do that for the offline flash to allow the mini-http server to intercept connections meant for LG's server. Do you have a server to run on the device as well? If not, then changing the hosts file on the device really won't do any good.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] Nathan.7118391:
I was responding to what shucrut said. Some kind of proxy server that would manipulate the phone settings that would make the phone appear to be in Europe. The first thing I thought of was that we do that sort of thing by creating a host server on our cpu to act like the LG server allowing the program to continue without errors. Below is what he said on the last page if anyone didn't see it:

[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] kuma82:
Won't work like that.

The u-boot checks for (from what I know) a fuse, and if the correct fuse is blown, it skips security check on boot, recovery & system.

[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] shinobisoft:
That would be easier said than done. I've looked at Loki's sources on GitHub. The devices that Loki currently supports are a completely different platform than the P76* OMAP devices. Loki currently only supports the msm_sdcc platform and an 'aboot' partition. Ours is an OMAP platform and uses a 'uboot' partition instead.

With that said, I do believe however, that Loki could eventually be ported to support OMAP devices. I cannot say for sure though.

The more I look in to it, the more I'm beginning to believe that a custom x-loader and u-boot need to be written or we'll need to figure out how to use second-init for loading a ROM. I do foresee a problem with the second-init option, I think. We already have a second-init CWM. If use second-init for loading a ROM then how can we also have a recovery? Possibility of a second-init boot menu? Options like...

Boot -
- Default ROM
- Second ROM
- Second Recovery

Just some thoughts...

Oh and I managed to get my hands on the Russian hacked x-loader and u-boot for the L9. Flashed them and the phone wouldn't boot at all. Could have possibly been for a different model than my P769. I haven't checked them out with a hex editor yet. I couldn't even flash my stock x-loader and u-boot back. Had to use the x-loader and u-boot from the fastboot package that's floating around the L9 forums.

Unless LG desides to change some things, this is my last LG purchase, for mobile devices anyway. Cell phone is no different than my computer. For example, if I wanna change OS's from Windows to Ubuntu, I can. So why the hell can't I do the same for my phone. It's my blood and sweat, literally, that made the money to purchase the device. I should have total control over the device. Period. It's not like I'm renting this damn phone... Oh and to top that off, I'm a prepaid customer with Simple Mobile. Pre-paid...

It seems like even though certain phones are on the proper kdz. Either they aren't sending the token request, lg isn't sending the token(less likely), or something in newer variants of the l9 is keeping the token from writing to the boot partition. (My guess most likely)
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] stunts513:
Hi, I am a bit new here, but have we figured out exactly what happens when we receive the token yet? I mean if it were writing to one if the partitions to give it the ability to unlock, couldn't we just make an image of that partition with the dd command and distribute it to flash internally(probably over an adb shell)? (After installing the older version of the kdz already used in the current unlocking process of course). Sorry if this comes across as a bit noobish, i'm still trying to familiarize myself with the inner workings if this phone.

possibly kernel issue?

I was looking into the kernel for our phone and there appears to be a lot of omap calls. could an edited kernel as well as u-boot and x-loader be the key to this thing?
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] shinobisoft:
From my understanding, u-boot is the culprit. V20H sources indicate that the functions necessary to boot to fastboot ARE NOT built in to u-boot for all models but the P760.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] tbstewa:
so we might be able to if we can get the source of the p769 u-boot and the default u-boot source from omap?

Probably never get the source for P76* u-boot. However, P940 is very similar and the source for it's u-boot is available.

Good luck with that. We've had others try, LG even responded, something to the effect that they would not implement or divulge methods to unlock the bootloader. The u-boot code is proprietary in any case, my understanding anyway.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] tbstewa:
