[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] TorontoBoy9:
My LG P769 V21d from Wind Mobile, Canada is soft bricked. Stock Jelly Bean. Locked bootloader. PC is Win7.

Goal: Root, CWM, then rename apks to remove bloatware

What I've done: Used Cydia to root, then installed SuperSu and BusyBox x. Used Artas CWM instructions for recovery. Made a CWM nandroid backup, saved backup onto a PC. Cannot do a normal boot. Tried recovery from my cwm backup but made no difference.

What I've got: Phone will boot to CWM recovery no problem. Phone will go into S/W Upgrade mode no problem. When booted or rebooting from CWM I get the error message " Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped", then a white "Encrypting" screen with a single "Reset phone" button, and no further. Sometimes it asks "Connect to Mobile Network, enable or disable". I cannot boot to anything.

Hard resets (Vol- Home power) we get a green Android character with a rotating molecular structure in his stomach, then back to Encrypting screen. CWM Factory reset goes back to Encrypting screen. Twice we saw a much larger Android guy in green outline on the Encrypting screen but the Android phone error did not pop up.

Windows device manager:

I can't post up an image yet. under "Ports" I have LGE mobile USB Serial Port (CM4), and under "USB controllers" I have LGE Mobile Composite USB Device. I have no Android device in my device manager list.

I tried Cmahindra's offline flash of my V21d image and it says my phone is not connected. When I run the R&D Test tool, Phone update section I get the following log:

I did not try to unlock the bootloader, and I don't really want to try a different rom. Please, this phone is in use now and any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for all the reams and reams of posts that have gotten me this far.
