The T-mobile 20D doesnt support unlocking bootloader. This is still only method to unlock bootloader on P769 for now. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2198114 I don't recommend it unless you want to run pinoyto's CM port.
Yea I thought about trying it but it seems complicated..

First things first, must have unlocked bootloader. Second flash recovery.img thru mobile terminal or adb. DO NOT USE L9 Recovery Installer.apk. It will not work. It must be a mirrored recovery, that is a sure fire way to tell you have the right one. Then flash rom thru MIRRORED CWM as well as Gapps and u should be good to go. You can also flash The OC UV zip as well. Good Luck
Can we root Jelly Bean yet for the tmobile variant yet? Like any easy ways preferably....

Lelus method is the only way currently. A hex-edited bin file for P769 Jellybean was uploaded by cmahendra in his thread. So take a look
Hi, can't we root by flashing via cwm? As I have rooted by that method

Ah I misunderstood the OP I think. I was assuming that he was currently stock and unrooted.
Yeah if you already have CWM you can flash a rooted backup.

As I have unlocked bootloader, then flashed cwm using cmd in fastboot mode and rooted using update.zip via recovery

Hey friend
You can unlock your bootloader using fastboot method then it will be easier to flash recovery in kernel and if you flashed it successfully then you are done.
As after that rooting is just child play Earlier I have owned other android but I guess LG is the easiest and safest phone to root

If you don't want to do all the u boot and whatnot then just do the Lelus method with the hex file. It's not too easy but not very hard either. Hmm. . .I wonder if we could use the original root method that we used for 10e? Boys that was easy!

New l9 (p769) user, I realized there's no point in having cwm if your on a locked bootloader ( can't unlock bootloader one bit, on v20D) and I'm just wondering if anyone had the stock recovery so I can flash the official ota? And no matter what I can't get fastboot to work which I understand has to do with bootloader. Thanks!

Cwm is very useful even if bootloader is locked. Why do you need stock recovery for? Just update ota? And fastboot works with lock bootloaders. If you have an issue just ask me.

It doesn't let me flash the ota? I've been trying and all it does is pretend to flash about halfway and reboots..

Well I'd rather just apply the ota as it is without having to do that since lack of laptop at the moment, is there a way I can get the stock recovery and push it via terminal?
Again thanks for the help!

you don't need to flash anything, just follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40871273&postcount=62
So backing up and installing the 20D backup provided will get me the stock recovery?...confused cause the link you posted was talking about removing cwm, nothing about applying the 20f update. I'm on v20d right now...

Okay, here we go:
1. CWM works with v20D or v20F. If you want to do OTA then you need to follow the link, that Lelus gave you, to the instructions to delete cwm from your phone.
2. If you want to flash the v20F rooted CWM backup that is on the sticky then all you have to do is download it to your sd card then get into cwm and flash the zip file.
3. I would suggest you get cwm working and backup your current ROM before you do anything just in case you run into trouble you can do the "etch-a-sketch" start over by reloading (flashing) your backup.
Good Luck!!!
Ok I deleted all remnants of cwm, renamed the file, and tried to apply the update, still no dice. Can I just restore one of the stock 20f roms stickied using cwm?

I'm sorry but that's the only method so far that works, it may work when it wants too but its the closest to simple we got.
Have you tried re downloading the apk?

I'm on YouTube (BioDesigner48)
If on p769 and this fails. Download superuser first and update binary from that. It will give root. Then open supersu and update binary. If it asks to remove other superuser say no to be safe.. I solved it lol

I just used this rooting method after reflashing my P769 to 20f.
Can you provide some details about what's happening?
Details as far as what. This thread was created because using the lgpwn method did nothing for me until I downloaded superuser instead of supersu
I used superuser for years but now I like the superSU because of all the settings I can use.well just changing the theme and most importantly adding superSU to the system folder!
