I had some time today to update the guide. I have seen reports of others that they needed wifi on + mobile data in order for this to work, but then I was able to do it with just the mobile data connection on and no wifi. I have also seen others report that they were able to unlock this device manufacture month all the way up to August, 2013. There's someone on AndroidForums and here on XDA which report that they were able to unlock their bootloader for the MS769 and their device was manufactured in August, 2013.

T-Mobile P769 20H will it work?

Hello Experts I am a newbie to custom rom's. T-Mobile P769 20H will it work? anyone completed this successfully?
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] leereyzhe:
depends. If your phone was made before either March or June 2013, you can flash to 10g (the original version that came on the phone for 2012 models, i think) then flash the Euro version as described in the tutorial. If it was made later than that, then probably not. There should be a date either behind the battery, on the battery, or near the battery somewhere.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] :
Bumping because I updated the guide again, and I am uploading the new zip package with the extra drivers for the people that couldn't get it to be recognized on their OS.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] AlbinoCookie:
Very nice tutorial, very detailed and explained. I just tried it out yesterday, and got a normal reboot with a T-Mobile p769 2013.04, I had data enabled with for the most part a consistent one bar, although I feel as if the signal plays a huge part in it not working because I live at the bottom of a hill, and don't get great service. Maybe soon I'll flash the radio and hangout at Wendy's or something while I wait.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] :
Are you all remembering to install busybox while on the Europe Open ROM? Because you need both root + busybox installed in order for the reboot oem-unlock command to work. Busybox gets installed when you root the Europe Open ROM with the Lelus root tool.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] AlbinoCookie:
Yep, I had flashing lights after the command was given on the lg logo screen. I'm still trying a lot, I'm on attempt number 14 I think now heh.

Also maybe if I used a different sim it could change something?

Out of curiosity, how many attempts did it take you? I've seen your rage thread, so maybe i'm not the only one with so many attempts.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] :
Once I did all of the steps in the right order it only took 1 try.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] :
I just read in another topic by lezeery that he got his P769 unlocked with a special cable. He made a new guide for it so if mine didn't work for you maybe his will. His method apparently worked on an encrypted bootloader (possibly?).
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] leereyzhe:
Yeah your phone must have an encrypted bootloader. The only solution is to flash the Euro ROM with a 910k cable (see my guide).

Once I flashed with 910k cable, it took only one attempt to unlock.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] AlbinoCookie:
This is what I feared, I bought the cable yesterday, i'll tell you guys the results when it comes in.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] AlbinoCookie:
It worked!!!! The cable did the trick first try, I would definitely recommend this to those that have had troubles.

Once carrier unlocked you mentioned you can go onto a verizon network, true ?

Well I just received the 4g LTE SIM activation kit , I have (service provider) unlocked my phone and I am NOT able to get on their network when I put in the SIM card. I think I should also mention that I still do have an active account with metro pcs, is that a conflict given that my IMEI is registered with metro pcs ?

I imagine that I do not have to necessarily unlock the bootloader and install CyanogenMod in order to get on theit network.

What I have to mess with the frequency or APN settings?

Please Help :confused:

LGMS769

i have a metro PCS LGMS769. I've rooted it. The date beneath the battery shows "11/2013"

That proabably means this phone has encrypted bootloader, right? Is it still the case that this phone's bootloader can not be unlocked? or has any one found a way?
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] nu2moding:
guess what I learned...

i have the metro lgms769. it was manufactured on 10/13

encrypted bootloader had me stuck until I found the 910k cable

thread. i somehow managed to damage the mobo on my win7 ultimate x86 laptop so all I had was a tw801 tablet win 8.1 bing bs.

didn't work out on the tablet at first, but then i tried on the new Windows 10 update

it worked. now I have the inverted lg and a backwards screen each time I boot. the t/s fix works after you turn the screen off then on, but now I'm having a hard time finding out what's compatible with the least amount of bugs.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] :

[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] nu2moding:
1. power down the phone

2. turn it over.

3. take off back cover

4. remove battery

5. look UNDER the battery - not on the battery itself.

6. read the label with writing on it; top to bottom, left to right.

7. figure out what a production date looks like by using context clues, common sense, and that thing between your ears...

i can't help you with #7...

[Sony Xperia L] Holmes.Sherlock:
I am facing trouble in mounting 2nd partition (ext4) of the SD card using Link2SD in Rooted Xperia L. Like many people have faced. I experienced a Boot-Loop. After taking out the partitioned SD card, fortunately the phone boots fine. Even it boots without any problem with non-partitioned SD card, too.

There is unofficial solution of enabling support for init.d using apps like Init.d Toggler.

But, I find that there already an /etc/init.d directory exists. Inside, there are two scripts, viz. 00stop_ric and 11link2sd.

I failed to find any reference to this problem in the FAQ section of official website.

Should I go for Init.d Toggler solution?

What is causing this problem?

Is 00stop_ric the original mount script of Xperia L?

I solved the problem using Init.d Toggler.

But, I find it surprising why it boot-loop-ed initially, i.e. when init.d was disabled. It could fail to mount the partition, that is acceptable. But, how come just the presence of /etc/init.d/11link2sd script make it boot-loop?

Even before trying Link2SD, I had both /etc/init.d and /etc/init.d/00stop_ric script present. There are the leftover from the Getroot method I applied to root my Xperia. So, neither the phone not having init.d support nor the creation of init.d folder can be the cause of boot-loop.

Definitely, either the presence of /etc/init.d/11link2sd script or something else which we are missing (Developer of Link2SD, Akpinar should be able to correctly answer) is/are the cause of boot-loop.

@Akpinar

Please let us know what Link2SD exactly does while creating Mount script.

Is the Samsung Galaxy Grand 2 going to get an update after the recent update of 4.4.2? For instance, will it recieve 4.4.3 or 4.4.4?
[Galaxy Grand 2 General] WaseemAlkurdi:
Probably not. Samsung doesn't release two updates for non-flagship devices. The best example is the original GALAXY Grand. It only got one 4.1.2 to 4.2.2 update. Nothing else. Same thing for the GALAXY Star. But, we will get custom ROMs, hopefully.

Dear all,

I am facing a issue on my LG-V500 8.3 after rooted using towelroot and confirmed root success by Root Checker !

Model : LG-V500

Android Version : 4.4.2

Software Version V50020d

Root by : Towelroot V3

Problem : Cannot move APP to sdcard !

By using Link2SD and select any APP that are capable to move then select move to sdcard then OK, the error shows

Failed !

App2SD is not supported by your device. Becasue your device has a primary external storage which is emulated from the internal storage.

You can link the app in order to move its files to your SD card.

Please advice how to solve it. Thank you !

[HTC Desire 601] EveKnight75:
I've had a lot of trouble upgrading to KitKat. After attempting to flash different image files for stock recovery/boot/system, I found it impossible to completely unroot the phone using the instructions posted because the phone kept re-rooting itself. Finally, I S-offed, wrote superCID, used the Telus RUU, applied the OTA downloaded to the phone, changed the CID back to GLOBA001 (my carrier is WindMobile). And finally! I know I relocked and unlocked the bootloader somewhere in the process, but I can't quite remember when.

Now, before I even think of re-rooting the phone or installing a custom recovery, I'd like to create a backup of the stock boot, recovery, and system. I tried running

fastboot boot openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.1-zaracl.img

using the special KitKat TWRP. There's a message about boot.img being downloaded successfully but the phone reboots to a black screen.

I know that TWRP 2.7.1.0 downloaded from their website worked fine on my phone before I ran the RUU . So I'm not sure that the new TWRP is incompatible with my phone.

If I wanted to use adb instead, I'd need to root the phone before being able to pull the stock recovery, boot, and system images using adb shell. If I have to resort to rooting, is there any way to do so without flashing a custom recovery first? If there is, I might be able to unroot the phone afterward and make it stick. (Delete the supersu apk and su binary, right?)

I remember that the first time my phone attempted to download and apply the OTA automatically, my phone wiped itself. It was a lot of hard work to get it back to a usable state, but it was my own fault for not having a proper backup. I'd like to avoid making that mistake again, and have a stock backup handy on my computer in case there are carrier updates for my phone in the future.

To re-iterate, possible to back up stock everything without root? If not, possible to root without installing custom recovery?
[HTC Desire 601] -Duir-:
You can no longer boot into a custom recovery, you have to actually flash it.

As far as having the stock recovery and boot, those are actually inside the OTA so you can pull it from there.

Since you'll have the stock recovery already, you can flash TWRP and use that to backup boot and system.

When you need to go stock, just use TWRP to restore your backup and then manually flash the stock recovery.

Since you made the device S-OFF, I recommend that if you need to lock/unlock the bootloader that you use the commands in this thread versus using the htcdev method as that wipes the /data/preload/ folder (as part of its normal /data wipe) which includes a few stock apps.
[HTC Desire 601] EveKnight75:
I had already re-locked the bootloader using the HTCdev method after the upgrade and before starting the thread. Do you think the potential loss of apps would cause any future OTAs to fail? If so, I don't mind re-doing the RUU (no important data on the phone right now). If not, I'll proceed with flashing TWRP.

Thanks for the tip on the alternate unlock method. I'll use that method the next time I need to re-unlock the bootloader.
[HTC Desire 601] -Duir-:
Locking the bootloader won't do anything, it's only unlocking using the htcdev token that causes the data wipe. So if you haven't unlocked using the htcdev method since running the RUU you will still have the 2 - 3 apps.

I don't know if the /data/preload/ folder is a requirement for a successful OTA update or not but I checked inside my OTA zip for my phone and it does include the 3 items stored there for the VM variant.
[HTC Desire 601] EveKnight75:
The unlock was AFTER the RUU. I ran the RUU, then used the OTA to upgrade to KitKat, then unlocked the bootloader again. However, I didn't notice any apps disappearing and the OTA zip for Wind also has a /data/preload folder.

*Shrugs* Seems good enough to me. TWRP, here I come!

[HTC Desire 601] Smellie2:
I don't understand how you can pull the stock recovery from the OTA. I thought OTA's are immediately installed, instead of stored untill you want to install it? So, how do you backup the stock recovery?
[HTC Desire 601] The_Greatest_Juan:
It is saved until you want to install. When it go finishes Downloading, just choose install later. And you will be able to copy it into other storage devices and extract files and what not. I'm not sure if it stores in internal or external I'm 80% sure external sd if you have one.

Really want the phone contact sync with my can, miss it for years.

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liveroy:
The problem is caused by your car and not your moto g. For some reason, it's presenting itself as a rSAP device, which ofcourse is the remote SIM profile.

Does the car audio system have got some settings related to in what mode Bluetooth should operate into?

On a side note, the nexus devices are lacking the rSAP profile in their Bluetooth stack, that's why it didn't work with your N4 (presumably your car bt was requesting rSAP access, which makes sense).

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] donutkidd:
Basically I do have common sense and and I'm pretty knowledgeable when it comes to working with phones but this problem I have is different.

I purchased this phone(I747) already bricked thinking I can fix since I have before. It goes to cwm 6.0.3.4 and boots to Odin. Last known os was cm but don't know what version. Not even clear what bootloader it's but when trying to boot up there's the blue cm Android guy.

So here's what I tried so far to fix my problem.

1. Tried to flash the mjb restore posted somewhere on here. Flashed with no errors but when I reboot still the blue Android.

2. Wipe and formatted the proper things and tried flashing a couple of roms but all gave me error 7.

3. Tried flashing a different recovery thru Odin, all passed but non stuck. Can't get rid of my current recovery.

4. Tried to Odin 4.3 firmware but that failed.

Kinda running out of ideas on what to try next, can someone help me figure out what I'm doing wrong or what's the problem?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BWolf56:
What did you try to flash? Status 7 means you don't have the right device for what you were trying to flash or that your build.prop was modified by the previous owner to another device name.

I believe you'll need to flash a ROM matching the current device name and work from there.

Although, I find it odd that flashing with Odin doesn't work. Have you tried flashing stock?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] donutkidd:
Yep I tried stock 4.1.1 and 4.3 thru Odin and failed. I tried installing a new recovery thru the current recovery using a zip file and it went thru with no errors but reboot and nothing has changed. Something when flashing the restore and the bootloader.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BWolf56:
You can try flashing another/updated recovery through Odin. But until you find out what device your build.prop is setup to, you won't be able to flash a ROM through recovery.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] donutkidd:
I tried every recovery for this phone that's up to date so yeah I don't know what else to do. And how can I figure that out? The build.prop part?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BWolf56:
It's in your System folder. Should be able to navigate to it using your recovery.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] donutkidd:
Will it still be there even if I formatted the system? If so what are the adb commands so I can pull it and post it?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BWolf56:
Hopefully it is. And I duno about the command, you'll have to look that one up (or perhaps someone here knows it).
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
If you formatted /system, its gone and shouldn't matter. But imo you should never format system manually. Otherwise you end up with nothing to boot or troubleshoot if things go wrong.

From your recovery, find where you can use the terminal emulator and enter

getprop ro.boot loader

This is what firmware you need to be flashing via odin.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] donutkidd:
Ok I will try that when I get home.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] donutkidd:
Ok I did the getprop ro.bootloader command and it's I747UCDLK3. I have already tried the lk3 Odin but let me try to re download a fresh copy of it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] donutkidd:
No dice, I even downloaded a 4.1.1 lk3 rom. It flashed and said successful so I rebooted and back to the blue Android. Is it possible NY partitions or whatever are corrupt and if so anyway to fix it?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
I'm kinda at a loss. Wondering if its a partition not flashed by Odin that's been corrupted...

No idea if this'll help or not, but download this.

http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23060877489996938

(It is a 16gb model right?)

Now flash firmware in Odin in like usual, but check the repartition checkbox, then click the PIT button and browse to and select the file I just linked. Verify.

Click start and cross fingers.

Another thing you can try...flash twrp with Odin, but uncheck auto reboot. After it says PASS, pull the battery. Put it back in and boot recovery. Hopefully it'll stick now.

Now you can try flashing some roms again, and use the built in file manager to look for any issues/anomalies.

I'm not sure what version LK3 is, but it sounds kinda old, so you may want to look for a 4.1.1 rom to start with. That shouldn't give you any status 7 errors. Or if you want to flash newer roms you'll need to edit the asserts in the updater script.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] donutkidd:
I honestly think I tried what you suggested already but just to triple check I will do so again in the morning and report back with hopefully good news.
