Not jumping to conclusions or getting hopes up,
but if the V20f update made it have this option to have a "boot loader unlock check", does it mean there is a way to unlock somehow
Maybe its not oem-unlock but something else...
Any ideas?

If your going to call i would recommend calling LG there the ones that control the Rom because they make it and there the ones that would know, T-Mobile wouldnt really know anything regarding that but you could also call them....

How did you get to this? (out of curiosity)
It's illegal to unlock your phone but if you have the carrier unlock it then you are ok. That's why they have a check. Look up unlock phone in Google and you will see what I'm talking about.

Unlocking bootloader is not related to sim (carrier) unlock.
Bootloader unlock=Custom ROM
Carrier unlock=any gsm service you desire

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.

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.
Sent from my LG-E970 using Tapatalk 2
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...

That is what I have been doing, just checking the Internets and going that I see that article that says "Hey U.S. Optimus G users its finally here"!
I just wish LG would get the ball rolling on this soon, but hopefully releasing it in Korea is a sign that it is coming...

Yes you can move apps to the SD card.
You will, but the app data will remain in the internal memory.
If it's anything like other phones I've had on t mobile, they will delay this update 2-3 months.

At least it is coming. I don't care that much of the official JB 4.1.2 ROM it self, but the unlocked bootloader means everything.
I just checked the link that had restricted access for lg p769 jb update link. it no longer works it keeps saying not found now/?
does anyone know anything about the other P9 models? Like P768/769/765?

Seems it is removed from server. Not too much difference to us, since we can't download it anyway. The important thing is that it exists, and chances are we will get it someday.

I think the delay for the t769 jb is due to Tmobile adding more bloatware to it.

We always know how to remove those bloatware. :laugh: It's the casual users that suffer from bloatware (they don't care that much, but on the other hand, they are the majority of people, that's why Tmobile benefits from doing that).
Hello everyone. First of all, i must say that i have experience with Android phones, but i never had such a big problem. I simply can't unlock the bootloader of my P760. I have tried all the methods available in this forum and other forums, tried many open KDZ's [now using V20B Europe open], had a lot of tries....Nothing worked. At the adb command "reboot oem-unlock", from the pc or from the terminal emulator it just reboots the phone.
Everytime I installed a new kdz i waited 30-60 minutes, or even 2 hours. It just didn't work.
I tried with installing V10A, hard reset and then V20B, tried reinstalling drivers, tried different computer with different OS.
I lost like....ten hours today trying different combinations to make it work....nothing!
I've read that the bootloader unlocking is something you can't redo. So, tehnically, somewhere there is a 1 which will be converted to a 0, and then erased. Maybe someone know's where is that code situated...Just saying...
EDIT: I forgot that my phone is locked in Orange Romania. Is this a possible reason?
Have you tried these drivers? http://www.driverscape.com/download/lg-p760
Sent from my LG-P769 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Yes, I did.
I'm having trouble too. I read somewhere that after flashing euro 20B, if you hard reset the phone semi-locks the bootloader. Maybe you need to flash it twice using the offline tool?

Are y'all able to root your phones?
Yes, i have rooted my phone with the LGpwn.apk and installed recovery with artas installer.
About the semi-unlocking i really doubt that installing the same kdz will do anything.
I will try v20c....hope it will work.

This is leading me to believe that LG has taken away the bootloader access with certain models. More likely they removed fastboot like with other midrange phones after flashing a specific JB update.

Too bad there is a serious lack of devs here. They could have compared the uboot and found a way to compile a modified bootloader compatible with the TI board.

LG employees will never reveal those steps. I spoke to a rep and he told me that the answer is on the internet and that I have to search.
T-Mobile support have no idea what a bootloader is and pass the hot potato to LG.

Have you had any luck with anything? I'm stuck on the same boat as you were and are desperately trying to find an answer.
Hello. Nope, i switched to Galaxy S3 long time ago.
I will be getting mine tomorrow and will be rooting. I am looking at the guide stickied here to Download the SU and CWM..etc. Question about the bootloader first. It says go there..select all supported devices. However above it says all phones shipped after 9/11 will come unlocked. So can I skip this part and just get into the root?
I would suggest not using CWM but rather TWRP.

You have to unlock. I did it thru HTCDev then I rooted and then did Rum Runner to get s-off.

Unless I missed something rumrunner has always only bootloader unlocked the verizon model. You have to already be unlocked (htcdev) for other models.
Please keep the model difeferences in mind when you comment.

Your first comment leads everyone to believe rumrunner will *bootloader* unlock their phone. Only the verizon version is unlocked that way. He didnt mention what version he was on but when you make blanket statements like that people incorrectly assume it applies to all versions.
