Im thinking about getting the optimus l9 p769, but I was looking at the threads, and i noticed 2 android development forums and one has roms and the other doesnt, so whats the difference?
And will those roms all work on the p769?
Thanks, sincerely
first, I'm not really sure of the difference myself, so I won't comment on that. but NONE of the roms work for the p769. Let me repeat that just in case I wasn't clear. NONE OF THE CURRENT ROMS WORK FOR THE P769!!! this is partially because of the difference in hardware, and partially because the p769 doesn't have an unlocked bootloader like the other versions.

well then what do i do? if i unlock the bootloader will that fix it?
I'll answer that question, no, because nobody can unlock the bootloader. there.
P.S. my brother borrows my account periodically, this was my brothers question.
nope, you just have to wait. when we get an official release of jelly bean, we'll get the ability to unlock our bootloader, and the people that have this phone will be able to develop roms for it.
The P769 will be [naturally] unlockable once T-Mobile approves its Jelly Bean update and it gets out in the air. There is a roundabout method available for unlocking the bootloader for the impatient/tech savvy as well as a CyanogenMod 10.1 unofficial P769 build, but I'd recommend waiting.
Is the jelly bean update definitely on the way?

The source code for JB on the P769 was recently released. So it's only a matter of time when it is officially released and we get a KDZ
You can unlock the bootloader I unlocked mine and its one ROM for it cm 10.1 its unofficial though

It runs pretty well. My only real problem is that the clock seems to to not sync correctly. I had to set my time myself because when I set it to Central Time (I'm in Chicago so) but gives me a time 5 hours in advanced. Also no Apps2sd is tough. Hopefully this will be turned on soon. Otherwise I'm not having any problems with it. Battery drains a little quicker then normal but I can't complain.

The reason it does that was mentioned in the op for that rom "This will basically turn the p769 to p760 with the appropriate mods to enable proper function of the p769"

Don't flash this on At&t. It will work but you will not have a working phone or data. You also might have a lot of trouble getting 3g/4g to work when you flash back.
I know it is for the Korean version but I thought your devs might find a way to download and take a peek. The site is in Chinese and I can't figure it out.

I am sure something more substantial will pop up very soon.
Here is an official video of the new LG Jelly Bean on the Optimus G too.

Official AT&T JB upgrade is 6 months away, if we are lucky. A strong possibility that LG will renege on their promise to bring JB to US. But, no worries, as we have devs who are working hard to bring us JB and more. Right, devs?
ATT still needs to add the required bloatware before releasing it after LG does. I even unlocked my bootloader using shellnutt's $1 app on Google Play to show some support. hell i even logged in and did my first post after being registered for 6+ years with 0 posts to thank the devs on their posts!

You guys want some good news?
I worked a 96 hour shift minus 12 I came home to run errands. Well, I was going to flash one of the roms but I could at work. Everyone thought I was crazy but I knew the hardware was just too similar.
Anyways, someone flashed the firmware and it worked. One of the roms is a CDMA Rom but it is set up for a different frequency. Everything works but no phone or data. WiFi even worked.
So, I don't know if one of you want to try it but the K or S version might work on at&t.
Check and see what frequency they are on and try that one. You might have everything but lte.
Anyways, I am not sure how different the At&t phone is but it is worth a try.
Do it at your own risk.

Nexus 4 Roms? I'd like to find out a little bit more about this.. I'd just like an AOSP ICS rom..
So I have been looking all over the forums for the answer to this question but have not been able to find it. My Optimus G is rooted and has the boot loader unlocked via Free Gee. Still running the stock ROM with LG Skin. Question is if and when the 4.1 update releases will I be able to update or will I have to lock the boot loader again? Appreciate any help a lot of helpful info out here.

Don't accept any otas once you are rooted and unlocked. There will be a pretty good chance that the ota will have a fix that will break the root and/or unlock.
Actually, you can freeze "com.lge.lgfota.permission" and "com.lge.omadm.client" in ti bu. That will prevent the ota notification.
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda app-developers app
Okay I thought that would be the case, just wanted to double check before that came out. So do you think that it would be all good to install if I just locked the boot loader back or would I need to completely unroot my device as well?

Pretty sure the ota would just unroot and lock your phone unless you are on a custom ROM.

That's what I was thinking too because my last Android phone before this one was the Galaxy S2 Epic 4G Touch and every time I installed an ota it would remove root.

You can't accept an ota because of custom recovery and the unlocked bootloader; otas will fail to apply and you'll be suck rebooting into recovery until we fix your misc.

[Q] How will we know when it is released?
Other than keeping an eye on the media, how will we know when it is being released for our phone?
Is there a preferred site that we should be monitoring?
Will LG release it before AT&T tries to send it OTA? If so would it not have all the bloat that AT&T likes to add?
That's enough questions for now.
Thanks for answering...

It's a lot easier to make these small updates to an already existing os then to build a new one from scratch. It does show that they do care about the customers who are using this phone and have obviously not abandoned it. So we should expect jelly bean.

They are repeatedly releasing V10 builds and they are all ICS for L9. If I am not wrong the JB series will start with V20.
This is what they do for other models too, example on O2x, V10 series was Froyo, V20 series was GB and V30 series is ICS (latest is V30B)
Is the bootloader unlocked in this version?

Are trying to say I'm wrong or right? Either way the fact they are making constant updates show that they are activily working on updates for this phone. Which is a great sign for us in getting a Jelly Bean upgrade. I've had phones that only got an update once a year and it wasn't even a version upgrade (Samsung Behold II if you're wondering). So I hope people stop making stupid posts that the L9 will never get Jelly Bean. There are more signs showing that it will get then signs that it wont.

I am not saying JB wont come for L9, may be you did not get what i said. i am talking about series names saying JB will start with V20 series. and L9 hardware is made enough strong for JB or even better. many weak devices (many tabs) are running on JB.
Does anybody know what's new in this firmware?

So instead of unlocking the bootloader and upgrading to jelly bean, LG is just screwing this phone? Way to go!
Their first update was to make sure that we can't root, and now to prevent us from overclocking?
Oh yeah this phone has a bright future
The last time I buy something from LG, my next android will be from Sony.

Android does not officially support TI OMAP CPUs as of 4.4 and if I'm not mistaken the L9 uses one so were out of luck. You could always try your hand at unlocking your bootloader and flashing a custom 4.4 or even 4.3 build

Honestly there is nothing that LG or T-Mobile could put out that can touch any of the custom roms available for this phone anyways. There are a couple Unofficial CM 11 roms availible and I have not had a problem with it.

I's not that the device isn't KitKat compatible, I also have an ARMv6 Optimus One, old and slow, but it fully supports running KitKat. LG Simply doesn't want to support the L9 anymore.
As I've previously stated, not here, and others have also stated, this is my LAST LG device. My money. My blood and sweat made the money, so I should be able to do with it what I want. Plain and simple.
Agreed!!! I dont think I'll ever buy another lg device again... It's my phone and I bought it out right, I should be able to do what I want to do.
Currently I'm thinking of getting a T-Mobile google nexus 5 hopefully in a couple weeks. Which I found out was made in collaboration with lg. Lol. At least the bootloader is unlockable. I guess I might look at some other devices then too.
well think of the cpu not getting anymore updates by its company which isnt lg i mean if you guys want kitkat and are on a budget get the lg optimus l90 its a really good phone that i recently got that i upgraded to

Odds are you won't be able to unlock unless someone creates a new method.
Alright, once i have been unlocking bootloader on p760 and i was succesful from first try. But i did this after i've reflashed kdz threw lg support tool, because i,ve got security alert. I wanted to flash cyanogen mod, and after flashing, i've got security alert. so i reflashed kdz with support tool and after that i succesful unlocked bootloader by adb unlock. so i'm wondering.. maybe we need first to get security error, when fix it and after that try to unlcok? anyone, who got unlocked, have you ever got security error before?
