Hello. I am working on an unlock method for another phone, the LG Motion 4G. After some searching, I have found that the LG Optimus G and the LG Motion 4G have the same bootchain partitions at the same location and the same size. If someone could upload the Lg Optimus G's SBL1-3, TZ, aboot, boot, and rpm partitions, I would be very thankful.
http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=lg-optimus-g Optimus G unlock uses N4 stacks. There was a link for partitions in the header of this channel.

I see this, but it looks to me to be partition info. I would like the actual partitions.
here u go.
I just extracted from bin file (Jellybean). I do not take any responsibility for any loss or damage.

After 3 months. ie. on 13-3-2013
As spokesperson from LG promised, LG has finally released Jelly bean update for Optimus L9 with unlocked bootloader. Hip hip hurray... :victory:
here is the original post:
I recently contacted LG regarding unlocking of bootloader of LG Optimus L9
They told that Optimus L9 p760 EU will be unlocked via next OTA.
But they’re not sure about the other variants because operator’s decision hasn’t been made yet.
I think this would greatly help the developers owning P760 EU.
I just hope it helps other variant's of Optimus L9 aswell and just hope there's is not much different between other variants hardware wise.
Specially p765 which is almost identical twin in terms of specs.
Here’s the original reply from LG spokesperson:
Dear DavinderSingh
Thank you foryour interest about our mobile phone.“We received your request on LG Open Source Code Distribution site (http://opensource.lge.com).This site isjust for providing source codes of FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) we haveused in our product.”
P760 EU Open will beunlocked on next version update.We estimatethat you can receive the version during the first quarter of this year.But we arenot sure that the other models because operator’s decision hasn’t made yet
We hope thisinformation will help you.Thank you.
Sincerelyyours,
LGE MCCompany Open Source Code Distribution Center

Wait wait wait. Dont jump too high. Its LG pals.
When they say next version update, they really must be meaning "next version update", but they have not told exactly when. So just wait until it really comes.
They said LG Optimus 2x will be given ICS in August 2011 (was printed on box too) then they said 2012Q1, then said 2012Q2 (facebook lg italy) but finally they released it in Dec 2012.
I hope this is not the same kind of TROLLING with us. lol I am not being so negative, but its really hard to believe this company.
EDIT: BTW, Mr. Davinder Singh, how did you get P760 in India? Officially LG L9 released P765 in India, its on website too. Nothing about P760 on indian section of LG.
@cmahendra sir i have LG optimus L9 p765 asian version same as your.
Re: Good News! For LG Optimus L9 p760, Its Bootloader will be unlocked via OTA update
I wish someone would pull their boot.img and recovery.img from the other variants so I could compare them to see if one variant that has an unlocked boot loader would be a universal fix for the entire L9 range.

Pull boot.img and recovery.img from which version? Can't you do that?
I saved this procedure long time back, but its FOR LINUX ONLY from Galaxy Ace thread. Not for windows user like me.
Download this: http://www.mediafire.com/?zdw766gu35o0fb6 to follow readme.txt that is included. (It's for Linux)
---------------------------
Europe have only V10A for P765, this also means next update will be most probably V10B. I think all experts should check V10B from all countries, may be they are unlocked too.
I had asked LG guy info on bootloader unlock for all the variants L9 , The Lg guy only told me about p760 eu.*
I guess angryGTS wants to compare all the boot.img,recovery.img but he only has his own boot.img/recovery.img.
Lets make a table of Features/Differences and ROM compatibility chart for Lg optimus L9 variants.
Re: Good News! For LG Optimus L9 p760, Its Bootloader will be unlocked via OTA update
Right. I only have the P769BK. I would like to compare the other variants mount ponts, boot, etc to see if they are all equal on that aspect so we could possibly get a universal bootloader if they arent already the same.

Bootloader is very important part of Android and it is made proprietory by each manufacturere. If bootloader of P760 is working on P765 without issue then probably at least these two L9 variants have matching bootloader. I may be wrong. Tell me.
PS: By the way V10G is officially released for P760.
Re: Good News! For LG Optimus L9 p760, Its Bootloader will be unlocked via OTA update
You are absolutely correct but since these are the same phones in essence minus some small difference like smaller screen and lack of NFC for the P769 and a couple other minor differences in hardware that shouldnt effect the way the phone boots or the mount points for recovery etc. Thats why i wish someone with the other variants would either pull the boot and recovery or at least post the mounting points like on the thread for the P769 in the Development section. (If what i typed made any sense lol)

Now we know that P760 KDZ is working fine on P765, this means both bootloaders are same or bootloader of P760 works perfect on P765.
This also means if we have UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER for V760 (europe), it will also be used as unlocked bootloader for P765 Roms. Wild guesses, though, but please tell me if this is wrong.

Eah, and I see guy on forum, what flashed P768 with P760 firmware. Worked to, but not as good as planned :laugh:
P765 and P760 differs with NFC presence and whatever else they changed in hardware.

• The person who flashed P760 on P765, said he had no issue so far.
• You are right. Things are not easy like this. I am just thinking of some possibility. Many a times people are logically right, but technically wrong.
• Please share information of the way to extract bootloader.img and recovery.img from device or KDZ in Windows environment, if possible?

Sounds good. I've seen in some early reviews of P765 what it has NFC contacts and antenna, but NFC was disabled in firmware. Now P765 doesn't have this hardware parts ever

On device you must use dd utility from console or ADB:
dd if=/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/recovery of=/sdcard/recovery.img bs=4096
dd if=/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/boot of=/sdcard/boot.img bs=4096
That's all, in /sdcard you have two files... Don't know if dd present in stock firmware, but with busybox it's definitely works.
With .KDZ a bit harder...
By the first you must extract .KDZ file - LG-P970 ROM COVERTER 2.1.exe, what I found on this site, works just great (there an other utils, but this best, thanks for it's author). This utility converts .KDZ in to two files: LGP765_V10E_00_AP.bin and LGP765_V10E_00_CP.fls (in my case).
LGP765_V10E_00_AP.bin - that's unpacked firmware.
Now you should grab some HEX editor and get recovery and boot images from .bin file (I used xvi32). Find "ANDROID!" strings (case sensitive!).
The first occurrence will be something like this "boot linux from emmc: mmc failed to read bootimg header ANDROID! boot linux from emmc: bad boot image magic", search next. After you find this string, just after "ANDROID!" you have structure, described in bootimg.h header (http://www.netmite.com/android/mydroid/cupcake/system/core/mkbootimg/bootimg.h). You must get size from there and cut .img file with this size from .bin
Then you must use split_bootimg.pl perl utility to extract files from .img images. In windows you must have perl installed or use CygWin. I have Linux notebook, so I used Linux on this step, because it's simpler and faster...
Sorry for my english, I'm not used to write such manuals

where?
I would like someone with a P769 or MS769 with an unlocked bootloader to upload all their partitions except system and data. I want to compare the partitions on my phone to see why my bootloader will not unlock.
Preferably someone who unlocked with the V20B Europe KDZ file.
Thanks

that works, and yes. Yes I did. Yes I still do.....but it's running optimus U firmware because the V bootloader (and S since S is the same bootloader) no longer work on it because of me flashing something to the wrong partition by accident on it. I also have an Optimus S and an Optimus M.
The U firmware doesn't keep phone settings from any carrier besides US Cellular, so basically I gave up on it. My Optimus S has the stupid reboot problems as well as my Optimus M, my dad's and mom'd Optimus M also had reboot issues. My optimus V was the only phone from the optimus line that didn't have an issue. I bought that phone from ebay for $25 because of bad ESN. Optimus S was donated to me. Optimus M was my first android for my 16th b-day (I am so glad it wasn't an iPhone, cause...well....I asked for an iPhone haha).
An irrelevant phone I have as well is the LG Motion.
I also have an LG Motion. Haven't really done anything with it yet besides rooting it. My Optimus V is a trooper, it's been through hell and somehow back. It even got lost at a rooftop and I was able to retrieve it

Pretty sure I read in the international g3 forum that Sprint intentionally does not publish the kdz files like the other carriers do. All we get is tots. Don't ask me why cuz I'm just quoting what I read in that forum.

i just find a .tot file thas is flashed usin LGFLASHTOOL the lastest .tot file is ZVC
Just saw a video on the Verizon v10 root via tungkick, and didn't see that they unlocked bootloader, and on startup screen didn't show unlock bootloader. Wondering if we (tmobile v10) could do the same using LGUP and a tot file. Do we even have a tot file available for tmobile? And big props to tungkick.

I'm pretty sure OP is talking about the .TOT files in the newly revealed root method for Verizon V10 devices, see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...ic-add-rootsystem-tot-vs990-tungkick-t3336345
If you can root both the Verizon and AT&T variants using the .TOT method, I'm confident to go out on a limb and say that it's possible for the T-Mobile variant as well. The only question is... why? Rooting will void your warranty anyways, so whether or not the unlocked bootloader message is displayed doesn't matter outside of your personal preferences.
If this is something that people want, I'd suggest contacting Tungkick.
Yeah there's no sense our variant having this root method....BUT that's just me.
Also trying to figure out why we'd need this method...

TOT files most likely mean TOTal files, containing contiguous raw dumps of specific areas of the flash memory which stores your firmware.
They can also be written in most devices without restrictions using the mmcblk0 method with the proper "seek" and "count" parameters.
If you explore them with a hex editor, you will find plenty of interesting "things", normally not found in stock files ( like DZ, KDZ, etc.)
Fun stuff...
