And one more thing. Do you want to unlock bootloader?

Thanks for the help, ill check it out. And yes I would like to unlock the boot loader too.

I was wondering if anyone had any advice on the next step I should take to root my phone?
I have the a T-Mobile LG Optimus L9 P769 with the following OS; Android 4.04 with Firmware 10g.
I have tried the following methods to root the device....with no luck:
Gingerbreak, root with restore, one click root, recoveryClockWorkTouch, and pretty much most of the others out there.
Is it possible that the phone has some form of modified privileges done before hand?
Is there a specific way to root my phone, or am I missing an essential step?
Please any advise or tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.....
Try lelus method of rooting, it works for all firmware n all variants. Check in development section :good:

I used lgnpst to return phone to factory state, I was initially rooted and unlocked through freegee. I've received 11c and jb update OTA so I'm assuming my bootloader was relocked but I can't boot into anything as power and vol up do nothing. Can anyone verify lgnpst relocks? Thx

You should be able to use freegee to redo the bootloader unlock. Or use TeenyBin from autoprime's thread. That's the method I used to knock out the required partitions upgrade from the OTA and leave me rooted and unlocked all in one step.

I need to get my phone back to stock rom state. The more I looked around for LGNPST, the more difficult for me to find suitable one for E970. Could you point me to the appropriate download and instructions? I REALLY need this as my radio is messed up and I cannot make any phone calls. Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks!

The guide doesn't mention anything about jellybean, and the root method posted doesn't work on JB nor has it been updated since then, that's why i asked on here.

The CurrentRoot method from carrett's guide will root 20j.
That's odd, mine was rooted before the ota so i haven't messed with it on my OG but on the one I'm trying to use it on it only reboots the phone once then goes back to the home screen on the phone. Guess I'll give it a few more tries.

Unlees you are only trying to get to stock rooted it may be easier to just use teenybin.

Yeah, i thought about doing that but he does just want stock rooted. He's just trying to be able to remove the bloat and add custom themes. If i can't get this method to work i might just go ahead and use teenybin anyways. Thanks though!

You would still need to unlock with FreeGee to avoid getting security error when removing bloat. There is a rooted zip for 20j that you could flash after teenybin if you wanted to go that route.

The current method does work on JB. I've done it.
Well, as I've stated, after trying that method 6 times last night but it only reboots once then returns to the home screen of the phone.

Guys Guys I found out that you can unlock bootloader on v20f OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I WILL BE POSTING BACK,,,, :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
After Reading Some More It says you will lose all your data.. mmmmm gunna check something out
Part 1 Is only for people who has not unlocked bootloader Part 2 is for people who have unlocked bootloader and Part 3 Is For Everyone
Oh and Sorry for the cruddy tutorial will update it tomorrow its 3:24 am in Cali and i want to go to Sleep
Part 1
(Update) Well Its Official we have an unlocked bootloader on the P769 i attached a picture sorry its kinda blury i had to take it with my sisters ipod...
Ok well what you have to do dont worry its really easy
1) Download V20F kdz
2) Flash That kdz (dont worry about root well get that later....)
3) After it Boots Make sure you have signal to network (doesnt matter if it has service or not i havent paid mine yet and it unlocked)
4) Connect Phone To Computer and make sure you have USB Debugging on and then run the Following Command
"adb reboot oem-unlock"
after you run that command your phone should reboot i do not know why but there is no prompt like the p760 (if you want to confirm you have it unlocked do the following 1)turn off phone then hold volume up and connect usb from computer and you should get S/W update and at the top left Bootloader Status: Unlocked)
and there you have official unlocked
Part 2
ok now for those of you who did it the hard way and unlocked before i recommend you take this unlock but up to you first what you wan to do is
Make sure you have this installed "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2119090" and setup
then download this
Lelus Fastboot Script : "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2292828'
and then choose the one that says P769 ICS U and X Boot choose that then it will tell you do the battery thing then it will flash and now you have original X and U Boot Now you can flash the kdz and do the unlock make sure you do this first!!!
Part 3
Now to flash a recovery and flash root
Make sure you have it on your sd card there is different ones link are scattered so ill get them in a while
Install this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2292828 then start fastboot and flash a recovery image to your phone
then make sure you have the superuser zip on your sdcard then boot to recovery and flash the zip after you flash it now reboot and enjoy you have unlocked bootloader with root and cwm now just flash another rom and there Cheers

I am a huge noob
Hey i have no idea what to do i am a huge noon at these things andi want to get my lg optimus l9 p769 rooted. What relly confused me is when you said i had to flash something and i thought you had to be rooted to do that. Please help.
I tried the ADB command and the device rebooted. When I went into software update mode it did not mention anything about the bootloader being unlocked. I'm going to try again in 30 minutes as I had just put in the SIM card prior to attempting to unlock. Not sure if it makes a difference but the SIM card does not have active service and I flashed the 20D KDZ before doing the OTA update to 20F.
EDIT: Waited 2 hours and tried to unlock again, no dice. I guess I'll wait for further instructions.
Nice find! I'll have to try this tonight.
Sent from my LG-P769 using xda app-developers app
I know this is a noob question, but where's the KDZ at? It isn't in cmahendra's repository and I really want to unlock my bootloader tonight. BTW, I'm not new. Well technically yes, but I've been lurking these forums since late January. So um, yeah. I need the KDZ and such. I'm already on P769F but I got it through OTA... I went into Terminal Emulator and I thought I had something, I went "su" and then "reboot oem-unlock" and it would unlock, but my phone didn't show the confirmation in S/W update mode. I'm using artas locked bootloader recovery if that means anything. Wait, actually I'm going to try something.. I might have just answered my plethora of questions. Sorry for the useless post xD
Thanks Carloswii5. When you get a chance, please give some more detail, and possibly links to the correct version of what we need to download\install. Great find, though!

I got the tmobile lg p769 on wind mobile v21b. I just did the reboot oem-unlock through terminal. Then powered off phone and plugged in sw upgrade. And says bootloader status unlocked. It was backwards because mines been unlocked for a while. But maybe u could use the v21b cwm backup and do the unlock. I stayed on the wind rom for move apps to sd is built in. I get the same 4g coverage from tmobile. Just changed the apns.config.xml with tmobiles v20f and set up apns manully. The same tweaks work on the wind version as the others. Oh theres a telepony.xml u need to replace as well. Just thought everyone should know how much of an asset wind 21b can be no matter what carrier u got.
Type su in terminal then press enter. Then type unlock command. It rebooted but I'm not near a PC to confirm (20f via cwm update).
