After updating busybox https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bitcubate.root.busybox.complete my phone boots to a white screen that says "in coding" and only has the option of reset phone!!!
What can I do from here? I don't have a recent backup of my data and I'm still on locked bootloader with root.
My model is p760
Please help!
Update: The actual translation is "encrypting" with a reset option beneath
I never seen that error, but I would try to offline flash a kdz. Offline flash will remove any changes to the system.img and should not touch your data. However, you are probably on a jellybean kdz, so you will need to use fastboot, and flash ice x & u for it to work. Or use the longer method Lg Mobile Recovery tool (this takes longer because it will have to download the kdz from lg). If you use the recovery tool remove any changes to your host file in windows.

Hey guys, could anyone of you give me a full partitiontable of our P760, because I d like to take a ,img backup via the dd command of all partitions, before I try to unlock my BL or anythingbelse. It simply always is good, to have a backup of everything, just in case
Thanks in advance.

Well I did it manually I backed up xloader and u boot before and after but is it really possible, to relock the phone with those files? Anyone who tried it already? And yes I was able to unlock. It came with JB v20c preinstalled, I then rooted with the LGpawn app, installed all drivers, set it to lg software mode, waited for 30 minutes, rebooted via fastboot oem-unlock command, pushed vol up and voila lets see, how long this ROM is able to last on my phone

No it's not possible to relock the phone, Dump your current xloader and uboot and compare to backups and you will see that they are identical.
Omap4430 bootloader security is an efuse based, uboot only reads it's state.

Not sure in your case, but I'm guessing if you fastboot flash a u-boot from ice cream or a u-boot.img from a kdz that is not unlockable, It will temporarily lock your device ( will receive the lg security error), if you flash a custom recovery or boot IMG.
That is the case with the p769 version
If I'm not mistaken the x-loader is never changed. I could be wrong, I need to perform a md5 sum check on the x before and after flashing a new kdz, to be 100% sure

So i finally unlocked my bootloader on my p769. After i unlocked it i went to recovery and restored my backup to a 20F T-mobile P769 rom (yes i know this was stupid, I should have installed recovery via fastboot while I had it open). My touch screen is borked and I have no recovery set up.
Things I've tried:
To turn on USB debugging, the backup i restored does not have a homescreen so I cannot access the settings to turn it on.
The KDZ offline flash method, but it always stops at 15% even though i've uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers countless times.
"Upgrade recovery" via the LG software tool. It gets to the part where it downloads the file and even after 2 hours it doesn't download. My hosts file did not have LGs IP when i tried this.
Is there something I'm doing wrong? Is there a button combination to force my phone to go to fastboot mode? Or can i got from s/w upgrade mode to fastboot mode? This is really frustrating.
Alright so i managed to turn USB debugging on, but i have no root or recovery. Is there anything I can do from here?
EDIT: managed to get root and installed busybox the correct busybox. i can't seem to get the recovery to install though (im using the l9 recovery installer APK. It says the recovery is installed but it won't reboot into recovery and the LEDs dont flash when i power on the phone). My phones touchscreen is still borked.
That LG software tool never worked for me and I never used it. Find a kdz uploaded and keep the phone on. No sw mode. I've been reading a lot of stuff on here about u boot and adb. . .never did any of that with other phones but I haven't bricked this one either to test any methods. I'm rambling. . .let need know what happens.

Even if your bootloader is unlocked you still have to install a ROM that is made for your phone. Just go to backup/restore then restore from sd and pick your backup. Good luck!

So your phone bootloader is locked? You need to unlock it before flash custom rom.

Oh sorry about that, I thought you needed your original ROM. Why don't you just take out the updater script and delete the asset files then repackage. But be careful, you could have some problems. Just do your homework and backup, backup, and backup! Good luck!

SO? My bootloader is locked too and I still have custom recovery. Listen I'm working on my update.zip file that will transfer all system apps via cwm. If you have root then get the l9 recovery installer 1.5 from Artas182x from here.
EDIT: Ok here is my update.zip link. Just install the zip in cwm and you should be good to go.

This update bootlooped my device. I wiped and reset my device no avail.
Really, boot looped? Weird, didn't encounter that problem before. Had it to where it would not boot, but never boot loop. Look go here to get s rooted cwm ROM and flash it. But it will reset your phone.

You can use LG mobile support tool, load it from LG website. Boot your phone to S/W update mode. Then start LG support tool and select recover phone from menu.

extract the zip into your micro sdcard.
Don't worry the MetroPCS version (LGMS769) works fine on the T-Mobile version (LGP769)
Plus I tweaked the build.prop so move 2 sd works for some downloaded apps.
