NO
The only think that i can do is to reboot in cwm by artas by holding volume down when the lights flashing but i cannot install cm 10.1 because my bl is still locked. adb reboot oem-unlock is not working correct. When i push it, sometimes reboot with lg logo sometimg shutdown and if i want to power on again i have to hold power button 10 sec and press it again

i am not so newbie mate, i learn a loto of things in this forum....

Follow this thread (link below) to get fastboot working. Then you can get to the next step. I just posted some instructions from that thread below for FYI.
Batch file command is "start_fastboot.bat" not "start-fastboot.bat"
Also,'when the tool says "Wait 5 seconds" don't wait but put the battery in immediately.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2119090
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What do you need:
omap4boot, get it from original thread.
Extract omap4boot archive somewhere like C:\omap4boot (I will use this path in the tutorial).
Power off your phone and remove the battery.
Connect your phone (still without the battery) to the PC.
You will hear the sound of a new driver, then the sound of a driver when it disconnects continiusly.
Start -> Right click on "Computer" -> "Manage".
On the left column, click on "Device manager".
You will see a device that appear and disappear under "Other/Unknown Devices".
You must right click on the unknown device before it disappear, once clicked select "Driver Update".
Click on the second button (manually install driver) and insert the "usb_drv_windows" path (C:\omap4boot\usb_drv_windows) and install the driver.
Disconnect the phone from the PC and power it off.
Open a command prompt (Win+R, type cmd and press Enter).
Type the following command in the command prompt:
Code:
cd C:\omap4boot
start-fastboot.bat
Now input 3 (Prada 3.0 P940) and press enter.
Plug the phone without battery to the PC, when the tool says "Wait 5 seconds" put the battery in your phone.
(The first time that you do this, you have to install the drivers again. Repeat step 9)
At the other prompts answer always "N", this could be important.
Now you can use fastboot on L9 Next times you can start from step 12.

thank you for your responce. Actually the bootloader is still locked. Do you thinkis there any tip or cheat that it is not listed in the steps?

Butentering in fastbootmode will not unlock the bootloader. If you followed the steps in general thread and still cant unlock it, we are with the same problem my friend and.. unfortunatelly, still no solution for me

if you can fastboot then follow this link below and it should work afaik
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2221102
You can ignore the part about installing fastboot drivers since you should have it installed already if you are able to fastboot
And I guess you already have LG driver installed.

Thank you guys,
First of all i NEVER saw this black fastboot screenin my phone that says "press volume up form unlock bl"
Second, i cannot find EUROPE open 20b...every link is not working

Don't you already have V20B installed per your first post. Otherwise you will have to flash it with the offline method....
if you are able to fastboot you should be able to get to that screen i believe.

If your model p760 you should see a fastboot screen (everything black with dome letters on top). But you can confirm if you are in fastboot mode when you run the start fastboot.bat, open a cmd in the folder that contains fastboot, adb, etc and type fastboot devices
You should see a coupçe of numbers and letters, like in adb devices
If dont appear nothing, your phone doesnt entered in fastboot. Then try flashing ics xloader and uboot and try fastboot again. If your device is seen, you should be able to unlock the bootloader following the tutorial in general thread, always remembering waiting 30 min or more to try
Here you will find v20b europe open:
http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=18
The download will not work if you have shttps enabled and hosts file still have the lg related lines. You must remove the 2 lines, save it, close shttps and try download again, now will work

yes that hosts file was the problem thanks. Also i already download some x and u but i feel that they are the wrong ones. Can you tell me which ones to download? shall i install them with rooted eu open 20b or with some ics rom?
i never be in fastboot mode. Every time i pushed adb reboot oem-unlock the phone or restarts or turned off (i think)

You can follow this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44325657&postcount=4
Probably will help you a lot in this fastboot thing, i put a link to Lelus's fastboot thread. Downloading the file from there you'll be able to install your phone's xloader and uboot files

Ah! so with this only i can unlick my BL? no 30 minutes waiting?

No, im sorry, didnt explained to much. Follow that to flash xloader and uboot and then install V20B europe open with the tutorial i said to you. After that, hard reset the phone (turn it off, turn it on and let pressed vol down and home button). After hard reset the phone will restart. Let phone connected to wifi and make sure your sim card is inserted and you have the network signal, enable usb debugging and connect your phone to pc via usb cable in lg software mode. Then wait 30 minutes (best is to wait at least 1 hour). Open a cmd where adb is (if you downloaded fastboot.zip from the link i gave you, its inside the fastboot/bin folder you extracted) and type the following command:
adb reboot oem-unlock
Your phone should restart and show you a black screen asking if you do want to unlock the bootloader. Press vol up to unlock the bootloader. And thats it, hope it work for you

Bootloader unlocked, now...confusion.

I'm having trouble getting this POS rooted. Got it unlocked with little problem, but now that it comes to rooting, it's extremely confusing to follow the tutorials. Is there any working one-click methods? I'm no stranger to Android OS, I had my Dinc2 rooted in about 5 minutes after unboxing. But this abomination is really working my nerves. Help please?
There is no "One-Click Root"
But rooting using the given instructions is not difficult at all.
Its as simple as downloading a few files, and typing a few codes.
what have you tried so far? and what firmware are you running?
Since you unlocked your bootloader,here is how you get Root
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...m.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1130639
download the .img ,put it in your fastboot folder
download the rootxperia.zip to your SD card
Turn phone off,plug into your PC/Laptop and hold search button ( might take some tries) ,you should get BLUE LED
SHIFT+RIGHTCLICK on fastboot folder and open in command window (assuming your usiing vista/win7) and type
fastboot boot recoveryPLAY.img
wait 2 minutes,it takes time.
Apply zip from SDcard and you are rooted

the wait for recovery to load is HORRIBLE!! lol. push the menu button once in a while if you are unsure. i did. it makes the wait (for me) less painful but installing the .zip and rebooting successfully with a rooted phone is AWESOME!!
Thanks for simplifying it for me Cat. I'm sitting here with my blue LED, my blank screen and my command window that now says "waiting for device" so that's what I'm doing. Waiting. Smoke break time.

are you sure that you installed the "S1Boot Fastboot" driver completely ?
cause i had some problem like yours ... just go to my computer=> right clik => manage=> devicce manager
and check if it's already install or not (( other devices ))

Sony Ericsson sa0102 is installed, but I'm not seeing anything in my device manager about S1 Fastboot. Hmm...how would one go about installing it? I have the fastboot folder on my desktop. It has two subfolders, Fastboot and USB_drivers .

In this case if it's either still 'waiting for device' or trying to boot recoveryPLAY.img, then you're safe to try again since nothing is being flashed
When connected next time, in fastboot mode, before booting the .img, type this:
fastboot devices 'enter'
It will show a list of devices attached.
It might be that your missing some drivers so fastboot is not working correctly and won't detect your device. Have you pc companion installed? I don't remember if there came any drivers with the fastboot download but check that, there might be some drivers you didn't install.
Regards Dousan...
This is what happens. I just get another prompt. Here's a screenshot of that, along with the drivers folder.

That means no device is connected. Unlike ADB, fastboot does not return the usuall "list of attached devices" line. Have you installed fastboot drivers?

I don't know, I just installed what the guy told me to when he did the remote bootloader unlock. Fastboot IS in my device manager, however, it says there are no drivers installed. I've got the blasted things on my desktop with some DPInst.exe installer, but it says I need the 64-bit version, which I can't find. Microsoft tried to have me download some silly .ISO file but I really think there must be an easier way than to burn some DVD installation disk.

Ok these are the x32/x64 fastboot drivers.
http://www.multiupload.com/0XZV1LXRVA
Download them and unpack them. Connect your device in fastboot mode. Then navigate to device manager on windows, Find the S1 Fastboot thats not installed correctly. go to update driver and navigate to the driver package you just unpacked. Done

Installing ClockworkMod Recovery

Hi,
I'm on the process of installing ClockWorkMod Recovery, stupid of me i forgot to enable USB Debugging option on my phone. Now I'm stuck on Command Prompt saying...
C:\Fastboot>fastboot flash boot recovery-nozomi.img
< waiting for device >
It has been sitting for more than 5 minutes as I am typing now. Should I disconnect the USB cord? Would this action brick my phone?
Sorry for my stupidity!

Hi soulhackereborn!
Sorry for the late reply! Sorry the forum prevented me from posting the URL as I am just a new user here.
"To prevent spam on the XDA forums, ALL new users prevented from posting outside links in their messages. After approximately 10 posts, you will be able to post outside links. Thank you for understanding!"
Anyway the tutorial says (copy&paste):
Use the computer for downloading the CWM file from here.
Then, on the same computer download fastboot from here.
Extract fastboot on C:\ drive.
Then, copy the downloaded “ecovery-nozomi.img” file to the Fastboot folder from your computer.
Now you must connect the phone in fastboot mode with the computer.
In order to do so you must plug the USB cord to the PC, then on your phone press and hold the Volume Up button and while doing this connect the USB cable to your Xperia S.
Up next, on the PC click on “Start -> Accessories -> on Command prompt right click -> Run as administrator”.
The command prompt window will now be displayed.
Now, enter the following commands (press enter after each one): “cd c:\Fastboot” and “fastboot flash boot recovery-nozomi.img”.
CWM will now be flashed.
In the end the “finished / OKAY” message should be displayed.
In command prompt enter “fastboot reboot”.
Your handset should now reboot into ClockworkMod recovery.
Remove the USB cord and disconnect the Xperia S from the computer.

everything seems to be good in the tutorial though..
But what is it a kernel, rom or an CWM image file ???
if still it says waiting for device then here's a couple things you should check :-
1) Fastboot ie; S1 Boot driver installed or no
2) Switch off phone and connect it to the PC via usb holding Volume + button (this is fastboot mode)
3) Check does your device remain in fastboot mode or no i mean purple led light glows stays on continuously or no until u execute the command, if not reinstall the driver and try again
4) If everything well till now try flashing with the given commands without the quotes ie; fastboot flash boot recovery-nozomi.img

1. I dont know how to check, it should be installed as i unlock the bootloader yesterday. I actually manually updated it on Device Manager.
2. I understand this.
3. On my case, it's a blue LED lit steadily after doing step 2. I am using Sony Xperia S.
4. Yes, i flashed them without the quotes.

Try rebooting both your PC and phone... This is a small thing but always helps and one more thing after switching off the phone n before connecting it in fastboot mode let der be a gap of alteat a min or two
Is this tutorial on xda or some other forum if on xda then try messaging me the link or tel me forum sub forum topic and title
Usually <waiting for device> can show up when you don't have proper drivers installed. Double check them if you haven't done so.

Dude as far as I know there is no need to check/ tick USB debugging for fastboot... It's just for flashtool..
Try re -installing the drivers again manually or let windows search over internet...
Finally, i made it! thanks to both of you!
fastboot.exe seems to be corrupted!
Problem solved!
Just last one question, now that i have CWM recovery on my phone, is it already rooted? sorry i am beginner...

Yes ur rooted!!
Thanks!
I'm currently downloading Cyanogenmod ver 9.1. Hopefully it works! Thank you so much buddy! You have been very helpful! If I get problems on flashing CM9.1, i'll contact you , hehe
One of the reminders on isntalling CM9 is:
Make sure that your Xperia S is already running a rooted firmware, and that it has the ClockworkMod Recovery properly installed.
How do I know I have a rooted firmware? Do I still need to flash FTF file?
By the way, I am getting a boot loop from CWM recovery, I cant go to the homescreen, no option to turn off! It only reboots the CWM.
(Still downloading CM9 as of the moment)

[Q] "use genuine battery - powering off"

Hello, Guys. So I did a stupid thing today - I was poking around in the build.prop in my v20d P769. I changed the value of a line concerning the battery, something like "battery_genuine" - My thought was that it was going to enable some sort of alternate battery notification or icon or whatever, I'm not sure what I was thinking.
Anyway, long story short, I rebooted after editing build.prop and now when the phone turns on it just says "use genuine battery - powering off" and shuts off. I had previously uninstalled CWM (getting ready to manually apply v20f) so I can't get to recovery to mount /system. I have been trying all day to get the offline flash method to work and the damn thing won't work half the time. I went through the thread instructions to install small server and edit hosts file - then reboot - when the loopback ip's are in the hosts file the test link on the thread (127.0.0.1:9002) doesn't work and neither LG application will work. If I comment out the loopback lines and restart both of them will open but neither of them will do anything useful. LG Updater tool just says I have the latest software and the UptestEX_mod2_marwin application won't flash anything.
Hoping someone can help me out here so I can recover this phone.
boot the phone in fastboot mode, don't know how to do that with your model though
use fastboot to boot into any custom recovery by typing 'path_to_adb_toolkit_files\fastboot.exe boot your_recovery_image.img'
if fastboot hangs on <waiting for device> install usb drivers
then pull off build.prop, change that field to original value and push it back into the phone
sorry mate, can't explain more detailed
Either flash ICS uboot and xloader in fastboot mode and unbrick it after, or if you can access adb, try sometjing like the following:
cd to your adb directory on your PC
adb pull /system/build.prop (in a command prompt on your PC)
Modify the file (it will be in the adb folder)
adb push pathto/thefile/build.prop > /system/build.prop (again in the cmd)
Hope it helps

Thanks for the reply man - yeah I can't get to adb, that was my first though so i'm going to try fastboot, only problem is, I don't know how to boot fastboot. Is s/w upgrade mode the fastboot screen (volume up + plug in cable)?
Also, would anyone mind explaining why the small server only outputs "file not found" when attempting to start up the flash tool? The only way I can get the flash tool to even launch is to comment out the loopback lines in hosts. lol man it's times like this when I miss motorola!
*Edit - In case anyone wants to help on this front, here is the output I receive from small server when trying to open B2CappClient or UpTest or even hit the test link in the offline flash thread:

I recommended removing all lg drivers and etc. Redownload all files, disable firewall and antivirus. But first you need to install fastboot and flash the u-boot for ice cream.
Inside the fastboot zip by lelus is more instructions on how to set it up. And checkout the original thread about fastbooting the l9
And you might want to try on another PC,
You need a good and clean windows environment for all to work well. This is the problem with many people. Plus a lot of antivirus programs don't like the small server.

well, if you boot into a screen that is neither android nor recovery, it should be fastboot at least this applies to my phone
since the combination is one button + plug in cable i guess it's the right one
does it say fastboot mode in the top of the screen?

Well I managed to get to fastboot with the p940 script. The screen that comes up with "S/W Upgrade Please wait while upgrading...". this may be some sort of fastboot derivative but there's no response to "fastboot devices" at the prompt. Can I flash cwm through fastboot if my bootloader is locked? I had it installed with the bootstrap method.

Hey don't flash ice cream and ect.
All you have to do is flash (in fastboot) the boot.IMG for the kdz you are on, and you're good to go.
Extract the boot.img from the kdz
Look at my guide. Or just wait until later tonight for me to upload it.
To tell you the truth, Lol, I did the same thing you did with the battery. I was fast enough to edit it before it shutoff. I had toolbox lite app installed.

Finally got it! :laugh: Turns out, the default path for small server is c:\shttps\www - the problem I gave myself is that when I didn't extract to the c root, I copied from my L9 directory - when I copied none of the contents of \www copied with it, once I moved those files to the correct position it all went through as it should!
Thanks for your help guys!!

Just be sure you are ready for everything,
I recommended flashing 20d then 20b.
Hold up I'll give you all the help I gave to someone in a p.m.
kuma82 said:
I didn't have a hard time, but then again I've studied my a** off, and I knew how to fix all problems that popped up. My advice to you is read all the threads about unlocking the bootloader. The video is good but it doesn't break it down enough.
Let me tell you about everything that can go wrong and how to fix it
Problems
1. After flashing the euro kdz your phone won't boot past the logo.
Okay, this problem will make things harder(but do able), because you have to hard reset the device by pressing/holding the vol (-) + home + power (let go of power button when the lg logo comes up)
Plus after a hard reset all data will be wiped and you will have to enable USB debugging on the wonky touch screen.
The chance of this happening is rare because you are not coming from a custom ROM.
2. After flashing you get a security error (or an error during the flashing process).
Now this one sucks because you will need to fastboot and flash the ice cream u-boot. Then put the phone in the s/w upgrade mode and perform the offline flash again.
I had this happen to me once, while flashing the wind kdz. Messing with fastboot is not hard but it takes time to understand it. Get familiar with it first before trying to unlock. I'll send you a link with some more info.
3.After flashing the euro kdz you find out you don't have root.
Sometimes rooting fails (dam computers)
Now I had this happen to me after flashing euro kdz (so no cwm) but I wasn't really worried about that because I had a signal and I could make/receive calls. I had a signal because when I was flashing I swapped out the euro radio (p760.fls) with the metropcs one (lgms769.fls)
Note: you have to extract the radio from the metro kdz and rename it to p760.fls
When flashing replace the 11th bin (with hex edited 11th bin for 20b) & the radio (from metro renamed).
Another thing don't rush the unlock. I waited about 3 to 4 hours before trying, plus I took a couple of calls on the 20b kdz. And I was on wifi.
I flashed the euro kdz at work and when I got home I turned on WiFi and waited another hour.
I'm not to sure about what the video says about turning off and flashing the radio.
When the unlock first came out, the instructions were to not turn off the device before unlocking.
When I flashed the euro kdz I was on the metropcs ROM.
This is what I recommend and did.
Enable USB debugging, show all touches, & allow install from unknown sources.
Leave your phone on normally(don't put it in s/w mode) and flash the euro kdz and hopefully no problems.
After waiting a couple of hours try the unlock command with Adb on your PC.
If all goes good the phone will take you to an inverted unlock screen, just press the volume up (make sure you press the Up button!)
This will take you to the official fastboot (but it's inverted), now in fastboot flash the cwm recovery image.
In cwm flash the touch screen fix and restore a backup.
Another thing make your own backup with the locked bl cwm (just in case you have to erase all data) make backup on external SD. Another thing, Lol ,make sure the backup is good, try to restore it. I have had several corrupted backups with cwm.
I know it's a lot to learn, but then again you want to be prepared.
Think of it like a final exam, Lol and you won't go wrong.
If you get lost just holla at me.

[Q] Boot loop Problems from Font Installer, Stock and no recovery

I understand that I am in no way the first person to have boot loop problem with the font installer but the solution always seems to be to flash a rom. My problem however is that I don't have cynagonmod or aokp, I only have stock jelly bean 4.1.2 on my LG p769
I did root my Phone and I have changed my font 2 other times before but this time when I did it my phone just went into a boot loop, do I need cwm recovery? because I don't think I have that and honestly this entire process has ben nothing but confusing.
If you don't have a custom recovery then you have to flash a ROM. You have to install adb and then fastboot then sw mode to flash the right ROM. Sounds complicated but it's kinda easy once you get the hang of it. Good luck

I have reached a point where my phone has the the LG logo in black and white backwards, and it says fastboot v0.2 backwards... but the post doesn't say anything about how to flash the rom aferwards. and does it need to be an official kdz or can it be aokp?
I get as far as...

I'm sorry to keep asking questions but every time I make progress there is always some problem and every forum just leads me to another forum.. I've already achieved fast boot on my phone, "I think" but I'm extremely confused as to how to flash the kdz. Any detailed explanation would be deeply appreciated. This probably seems really easy for you but am at wits ends. Thanks however for guiding me so far

Ok I'm assuming you are having trouble with the omap4boot commands. As the instructions say take out your battery from your phone and disconnect from computer. Run the program from your computer to get to the menu then select #3 for Prada and once you press enter put the usb cord into the phone then wait about 5 seconds then place your battery in. Should be smooth sailing after that. Once it asks you do you want fastboot just say no, and no to loading u-boot. Just disconnect your phone and you are done with this part. .Let me know when you are finished with this.
You can't flash a custom ROM in fastboot so you will have to load a stock kdz file but that's later. .
I finished that, I got all the way to the end where it says
--------------------------------------------
------------------------------
Please remove USB cable
and wait until LG Logo on
then reconnent USB cable again

Do you want to replace u-boot (y/N) ?n

Press any key to continue . . .
I assume that is all I have to do here so should I just follow the New Lelus method now?

No Lelus method yet. You can do as Kuma has said above or what I did. Either way we are both trying to help you. Now that you got that done and congrats on that!

Skip getting the drivers because you already did that. But you will do the same thing that you did with the earlier program just now you are installing the x-loader and u-boot for your phone so your computer can "see" it. Once you've done that then you can flash with the Lelus method. But be sure to get it done right and practice if you need to.

OK thanks for clearing my confusion on the Lelus method... but I have tried both Omap... and Fastboot, my problem with fastboot is that it get to step 3 of http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44325657&postcount=4&nocache=1&z=6862240654882044
My phone screen is inverted and it says fastboot, but my computer never says press any button, just stops at <waiting for device>
about 1 minute after this appears, my phone just reboots into the loop. and I've seen other people post the entire script so I know my phone, or computer is stopping right before the x-loader and u-booter, for whatever reason.

Ah, ok, ok, ok. . .Try this: bring the program up with the choices then press #5 but don't hit enter just yet. Now take your battery out and put the usb into the computer but don't connect it to your phone. Hold the cable next the plug in and hit enter. . .then it will say something like requesting omap4boot that's when you place the cable into your phone then it will go through some stuff pretty fast don't pay any attention just count in your head to 4 or 5 seconds then put your battery and wait 'till the fastboot comes up. . .that's it. once that happens your phone is u-boot and x-load ready.
After that this point sucked for me. You have to take out the battery and unplug your phone from your computer at the same time then wait 2 seconds and put your battery back in then immediately afterward hold the volume up button while inserting your cable back into the computer. . .wait for S/W upgrade mode. THEN YOU DO THE LELUS METHOD!!!

about 1 minute after this appears, my phone just reboots into the loop. and I've seen other people post the entire script so I know my phone, or computer is stopping right before the x-loader and u-booter, for whatever reason.

Looks like you aren't running fastboot as an admin
I am running as admin... and as a response to Nathan.7118391 BWUUAAA :eek : ,
I unplugged everything from my phone, then I press 5.
I press enter on the next page that says something about plugging out the phone and taking out the battery
Then I click Enter and plug in my phone. It goes through some things and than says " Wait 5 -lelelele
Than I put in the battery and it runs down to
** Done**
<Waiting for Device>
Does it matter that my phone is on Jellybean, or that I have an unlocked Bootloader?

[Q] touch not working at all on P769

I decided early this week that i want to have a custom ROM on my phone, so i followed this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2277639 and i managed to get the eu kdz with root (hex edited bin) on my phone so I will be able to unlock the bootloader, so after waiting half an hour as instructed, I typed the command adb reboot oem-unlock but the phone just booted normally and i didn't see the prompt for unlocking the bootloader, so i thought that maybe it was because i didn't have the T-Mobile radio installed, so I installed the recovery installer and clicked install recovery, and it said install successful, but when i hit reboot recovery it just booted normally and did not boot into recovery, and when going back into the app when the boot was completed i noticed that it said recovery not installed.
now just to make things easier with the whole mirrored mess, i thought that installing the touch drivers for my P769 might help, so i followed these instructions
enter the following commands but before you must put the v6.bin file to your external sd card it is in the downloaded files after you have put it to the root
of your external sd card enter the following commands
"cd c:\Android"
"adb shell"
"su" when you enter this go to your phone and accept the su request
"cat /sdcard/external_sd/v6.bin > /sys/devices/virtual/input/lge_touch/firmware"
after you entered the last command you need to close that command promt and open
another one and type the following commands
"cd c:\Android"
"adb shell"
"su"
"reboot" then it will reboot and the touch will corectly work remember the mirrored problem will continue

but i guess that was meant only for the T-Mobile kdz and not for the EU one that i had installed because when i rebooted the phone the touch screen wasn't working at all.... so i thought just to flash back the original T-Mobile kdz and then flash the touch drivers again, but i couldn't change the usb mode to software mode since the touch screen isn't working, and when going into SW update mode by pressing vol up and connecting the usb, the update process stops at 15% saying my phone isn't connected...
so at this point i pretty much gave up in root i just want my phone to work normally again... :crying:
can someone please tell me what to do to get the touch working, or some other way to get back to the T-Mobie kdz?
THANKS:laugh:

I think it read phone IMEI to verify which rom to load so it should work.
