Hello, I have just bought an unlocked optimus l9 p760 on ebay.
It appears that lg released update for this phone.It goes from ice cream sandwich to jellybean with an unlocked bootloader (please correct me if I am mistaken). I have never owned an android phone before and have no experience whatsoever. From what I have read it appears you simply have to install a program on windows directly from lg, connect your phone and it automatically updates. My question is: Will updating this phone to jelly bean remove my carrier unlock? I want to be able to keep using any carrier I please. Thank you for your assistance.
EDIT: I live in New York. (It seems p760 according to what I have read here is european version of phone) Do not know if this interferes with updating in any way.

I'm not sure what do you mean cause at first you speak about unlock bootloader, later about carrier unlock (which are two diffrent things) but if you can now use any carrier now after update you will be able to use any too.

1. Jb update has locked bootloader (unlocking bootloaders are mainly use for flashing custom roms)
2. You can update ota (over the air) to jb. If not then do your method.
3. You probably bought the phone with carrier unlocked. If not then bootloader is unlocked.

so just to be clear... If it is carrier unlocked and I do the update, it stays that way right?

Yes, but better do FOTA update you will don't have most of the bloatware that way (but remember that you will lose settings, apps etc). http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36351786
Hello All,
I am planning for Jelly Bean upgrade on my LG Optimus G [AT&AT] through LGNPST. My phone is already unlocked for other carriers. Will the unlock be retained after the upgrade ?
Regards
Jacob

Hi, I had the same worry as I had bought my phone from eBay. I can tell you that mine is still unlocked after LGNPST and flashing the different ROMs and Kernels, but your phone could be unlocked in a different way (probably not, but I am not sure, my phone came unlocked), so I cannot guarantee it. Hope this helped
Thanks for the information. Mine also I got unlocked from Ebay. Hope it will work.

I was wondering how I could unlock my e970 without using a non att SIM card? I have looked for mmi codes to get the phone to ask but have not had any success.
LG Unlock
Dowload LG Unlock from the play store,t he code is almost $13 but you'll get it in 30 minutes
I'm on stock JB and wondering if I should upgrade to kitkat.
I have a tripped knox so will have to odin to upgrade.
is there any advantage in having a KK BL over a JB BL?
I'm reading that android and samsung are getting too security minded,knox and bootloaders etc
I know you cannot downgrade once you've KK'd and there's something about a locked bootloader?
although I'm sure the clever peeps in xda have already found a way to unlock it.
all roms seem to be KK now and JB's are hard to find which also points to a reason to go KK
will I have a locked BL once I've updated to KK with odin?

This is the original v10a rom. It has an unlockable bootloader and can be easyily rooted. Which should be a prerequisite. But custom roms may not work with the antique baseband rom.
Would be better to update to 4.1.2 first. V20a had an unlockable bootloader and native App-to-SD. In later v2x roms the bootloader may again not be unlockable to prevent rooting. Via OTA you will get v20h or the latest v20o or p roms. I had unlocked the bootloader and rooted when v20c came via OTA.
I would recommend unlocking immediately. But rooting prevents successful OTA, other ways of flashing still work.

and where i found the link to update to 4.12 and V20 or the latest v20o? thank you
Oops. Didn't notice that earlier, because Tapatalk got gang raped and beaten up by its makers. I'm still an unhappy user now.
First unlock bootloader, as the latest roms may prevent this.
Then update to the latest rom via OTA, with LG's service flash tool or their sync suite. Then it should be at least v20h. At least for Artas CM11 you need v20o or p. There is a link somewhere in the two Artas Cm11 threads. After you reached the final level of stock rom evolution, you can root, install a recovery, and try custom roms.
Hey there! Just finished rooting my Xperia Z2. I have a few questions, as I'm still unclear the difference between rooting, having an unlocked bootloader, etc.
INFO FIRST:
Xperia z2, locked to Canadian Bell on Build 17.1.A.2.55 (D6503).
1. From this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2759934) I have the Canada - Bell - 1281-3795 firmware installed. From what it looks I can't unlock the bootloader with this firmware. What it looks like I need to do is flash an unbranded firmware to my phone, which would then allow me to run BLU on the flash tool. I could be horribly mistaken so I am asking the general public if this is the way to approach this. Will installing an unbranded official firmware brick my phone if its not the bell one, and will my bell service still work following this?
2. From this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2758189) I want to flash this onto my already rooted phone. Is this impossible with a locked bootloader? Or can I do it using flashtool. I'm really new to all this so I don't understand what is what quite yet. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
In the end I really just want that sound mod so basically guide me there.
Thanks, -Andrew
