The L9's (p760) update to Jellybean from LG started rolling out today. It has a ton of new stuff for people who are interested in keeping the stock ROM, and another new thing that's of interest to us: the bootloader is now unlockable.
How?
Step 1 - After installing the JB update (I don't know if there are any leaks, but it so avoid them. The real update is out), make sure you have a SIM in your phone and let it stay on for at least 30 continuous minutes. This is important!. If you skip this step, you may end up with a permanently locked device.
Step 2 - Enable USB debugging in the developer options, and run " adb reboot oem-unlock " from your PC
Step 3 - You'll land at a confirmation screen like the one in the first photo of this post. Read it, and follow the instructions there.
Step 4 - If your device unlocked, you'll be in fastboot mode. The phone will helpfully tell you about it (Second photo). Congratulations, your bootloader is unlocked and your L9 can run unsigned boot images
Step 5 (optional) - While you're at it, stay in fastboot mode and flash CWM from http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-6.0.2.9-p760.img with " fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-6.0.2.9-p760.img "

Great news. I'm in the line (have a 769 too). And I have to thank the develop for starting build CM 10.1 just a couple days after LG unlock the bootloader.

Awesome! Can't wait. Hopefully after P769 gets JB we will have CM10x rom.
I'll be surprised if t-mobile allows p769 to have bootloader unlocked in jb

Lucky P765 owner too. Thats me. There is no JB for P765, right? But I turned my P765 into P760 by flashing new JB. Unlocked the bootloader normally. AFAIK Only difference in both is NFC, which is missing in P765 and that does not make any difference. And yes rom shows P760 everywhere in phone. Even I open hidden menu with 760 in command on phone. lolz.:laugh:
doesnt work on my P760. After step2. (adb reboot oem-unlock)
the phone just reboots. nothing happens at all? any suggestions?
see on segret menu (3845#*760#) if bootloader is locked or unlocked!
Bootloader in my p760 is lock.. - jb v20 europa open
jap. mine is locked too
btw. i wonder if every JB firmware (kdz) comes with the ability to unlock the bootloader...
i used the german one.
its should remember guys you muat wait 30 minutes for thr network to register the unlock. and also this unlock method should work on all variants as long as they have jb.

I think you are confusing t mobile with Verizon. Verizon is the only American cell network that really pushes for locked bootloaders. Everybody else leaves it up to the manufacture to decide.

It is better we should keep Aremcee (Ricardo Cerqueira)'s post handy about UNLOCKING BOOTLOADER in XDA for future reference...

Maybe its a silly question but how i run " adb reboot oem-unlock " on win 8
you must open up notepad and write cmd in the notepad after save it and choose as all files and add .exe to end of the file that your saving in the saving window.
Tested: Excellent A+ release, stable and fast. Root: Not "officially" supported yet at 20 october 2013.
FTF Decrypt and upload thanks to Chemcup:
https://mega.co.nz/#!jFMX1bCS!d2kA1AezDnXK6g8ZWrXN2DnLkTExaj9un96P0Dge4nA
I think should work on C6802/6806 as well, maybe something disabled/or/enabled and not usable on the Mobile connection menu, related to LTE/4G band.....
I've tested with success a firmware for C6802 Taiwan (.510) on a European Z Ultra C6833 device. And was working flawless, so i guess this should work on any Ultra.
***I TAKE NO RESPONSABILITY, IF YOU DO NOT OWN A C6833 and flash this on a C6802/6 DO A YOUR OWN RISK.
and beside working, your device may be also recognized as a C6833 after a direct flash of this.
Please follow flashtool guide to flash FTF, and use last version:
Release 0.9.13.0
Available from the developer's site.
http://www.flashtool.net/
General disclaimer: Flashing without Sony Update is a method generally unsupported, and it may void the warranty. So do it on your own risk. If things go wrong, you may try the "repair my phone" option on Sony Pc Companion (PC) / Sony Mac Bridge (MAC). Also, users that do not hurry in updates, may just wait the proper release for their phones to be released into official Sony Xperia channels.
"Ultra"Quick guide on flashing with flashtool (Windows7):
1) Install Sony Pc Companion
2) Install Flashtool (C:Flashtool)
3) Connect your Xperia and check if is recognized by the system by drivers, ok? disconnect.
4) Download the firmware, and copy the .ftf file inside c:flashtool/firmwares
5) From C:Flashtool, run Flashtool.exe in Windows or Flashtool64.exe in Windows x64
6) Choose lightning icon, and choose FLASH
7) Choose the Firmware from the list
8) Wait the program tells is ready to flash
9) Turn off the device and wait 10 secs
10) SIMULTANEOUSLY: Micro usb connect + Volume down
Hi mate, thanks for this. Could you please share the CDA of your C6833 as well?
Many thanks!

dont think that .257 will be rootable so fast, will take some time.
Thanks mate, you could check CDA from about>>diagnose>>device fact and no need to root
Can you do a zip file as well?
CDA please. then i can help you download. my connection is way faster than yours

Sure, i will let you know when i finished everything, also i dunno if i can still get to system prop without the root and the cheated CDA has been replaced with its original again.

You just need to try and root it through Vroot and check if that still works...

@ OP:
Did you actually check that FTF chemcup uploaded? he did say e was't sure if he did it right.
Did you try to flash it on your device?
Thanks,
Hi all, I tried to flash the version, it works excellent, for those who are not comfortable with the FTF, just change youe CDA to:1275-8026 R11A, you will receive the updates from PCC
Been trying the firmware..
All nasty bugs like phantom clicks, SOD, wifi messed, backlight seems to be gone.
General speed is above good!
I would say A+ for this firmware release.

So here VROOT 1.7.1 for who want to try:

Also Kingo may work as well.. even if it has been unofficalized from rooting methods due to a fishy acting on network, that may put some adware or similar.. so, use at your own risk, but i managed to root .532 without any flaw.

Is it true that you can only root KK lg g2 but no custom recovery?
I have root my g2 on D80220b-EUR-XX with ioroot25 without problem...
I performed the update kitkat with ota (520Mo)
before I was with 4.2, root with vroot but I lost root with this update

Yes thi metod work for me but, you don't use stock kernel, if you install a recovery on kk you must install a custom kernel, i suggest furnace 2.0!

First you bother everyone to help you to install CM11.
Then you don't like it and demand help to get back to stock.

There is a thread that explains how to go back to stock by flashing KDZ.

If that method didn't work for you then try the LG Flash tool from this thread.

Hi Guys!
Got myself an Xperia XA Ultra F3215 Variant (1st Sony Android Device for me) yesterday. I like the screen and performance - even if its just a mid-ranger and I'm also coming from the Note 4, though I've yet to really test the battery out.
I tried searching not only the XDA but also through Google, but I have yet to find a thread about the F3215.
I have read the differences for some variants would be Dual SIM vs Single SIM, but aside from those, I don't really know much about the variants.
I also checked the USSC Code if the device can be rooted, but it doesn't appear to be so.
So for those devices which aren't Rootable, would there be instances wherein Root can still be achieved even if it's just Temp Root? Has it ever happened to other Sony devices? This is my first Sony android phone, so I don't have experience in Root and Modding aspect of this Manufacturer.
I'd love to have Root, mainly for: debloating, Greenify, Xposed, and Viper4Android.
Any help would be appreciated.
TIA

Hi, it's a full root and it's not hard if you are not a "One clic solution" user. The process is almost the same on nexus or pixel: unlock bootloader -> flash boot/recovery -> flash SuperSu. Download the rootpack for single sim on the Ultra forum and follow carefully the guide on XA forum.A big warning if you use flashtool to update, it can brick your device, on locked bootloader too!

Thanks for your reply.
Just to make it clear: mine, in the Service Info says Bootloader Unlock Allowed: No
Can that still be rooted with rootpack?

No, you can't root if you can't unlock the bootloader.

That's what I thought..
Anyways, would there be a chance that the Sony bootloader can be unlocked, based on previous devices?

Nope if it says bootloader unlock allowed NO there's nothing you can do to change it to a YES unfortunately it's your network that's locked it down not Sony..

Hello, I've got the same device variant and situation. Did you find any workaround yet?

Nope, unfortunately not yet..the best Mod I've had so far was to enable external SDCard to internal via ADB..

Not yet..though I'd really want this Bootloader unlocked..
What's your LCD Density? Care to share a screenshot, if you don't mind?

LCD density is 340 or 320i think. I was using nova launcher though.
320Dpi looks good, large enough to read stuff on and has additional space, too! Maybe I'll try 320dpi, since mine is still ln default so texts are big! Haha
