I just recently upgraded my P769BK to V20F. I saw a previous post about unlocking the v20F boot loader but it seems it's a bum post.
I take it no one has been able to unlock the boot loader for V20F yet?
I want to install Clockwork Mod and CM roms now.
Is there a way I can flash my phone to a previous update that can have the boot loader unlocked? Is that still possible? I heard about this KDZ offline flash thing but I don't know If I can do that still because I have v20F?
If I can revert to a previous version, could anyone recommend what version I should revert to and give me a link or links on what I can do further to get the BL unlocked, clockwork installed, and a good custom rom?
I'd be grateful if someone can help me with this.
Thanks!!

NM. I gave up. Its too much of a damn hassle.
I tried to flash the KDZ method but for some strange reason the LG Update tool just won't read any info on my phone when I have it in S/W mode. The app just crashes. Also it says that LG servers are down for maintenance when attempting to run the LG Mobile Support Tool. What a pain in the ass!
I started with the 20f too and I was able to unlock the bootloader although it was a pita tho good luck

Carloswii5 mentions in his video that you need to install L9Recovery.apk and grant it root permission or you will just boot normally.... yet in an earlier tutorial, there is no mention of this important step. Hmmmm.

Since it hasn't come out yet, no one knows if ota 2.34 we flashed will accept official updates properly. But if that's the case devs will definitely figure out ways to extract the files needed to install them either through fastboot or cwm most likely. You'll want to be unlocked and rooted.

looks like i'm out of luck with the unlocking and rooting since it requires me to RSD flash to a different rom prior to updateing to 2.34 when they are saying it causes bricks. guess i'll wait for the official att and see if we can do the same update setup over the beta..love it though..just hate the fact my signal keeps going white then blue...any way thanks
I hate to be the guy posting a thread that I know has been answered but I'm confused and have been on here for over an hour trying to figure out my exact steps. I had a rooted Atrix with 4.1.8.3 that had the webtop mod. The bootloader wasn't unlocked. After doing some research, I decided to unlock it and ran the script from mramirezusa to do so. This went through correctly and now my phone is unlocked but not rooted(I believe). I want to update to 4.5.91 with it unlocked and rooted. Also it seems as if I should use CWM as well. The script that unlocked the bootloader also has a script to root/cwm the phone. Should I do that on the 4.1.8.3 version now? Or should I update to 4.5.91? Should I update OTA, or should I flash something? I'm pretty lost at the moment. Thanks for the help.
Install romracers cwm, and flash gb through cwm.

Please help me with an ATRIX MB860 WIFI problem... probably I think is the problem with the firmware version...

Forgive me as I'm coming from HTC land but I just got my Prime yesterday after coming from a TF101 and updated to .21 without checking if the root methods work on it. I know there's no root method for stock .21 yet so does this mean I'm unable to flash CWM and unable to run any custom ROMs until then? I'm assuming without root I have no way of flashing another blob, correct?

You have to unlock the bootloader first... actually, no you're screwed for the time being. You need CWM to flash a custom rom once you unlock your boot loader, but you need root first to install CWM, and so far there's no way to root .21 update. I guess you could unlock then attempt to revert to a earlier firmware version, then root, install CWM, and flash a custom rom. Once you unlock your boot loader you will not be able to receive OTA updates.... or just wait until a root process is discovered for the new updated, then root, unlock, etc.
See Dev forum all details.

I don't think it's possible to downgrade at that point. You need root to flash a blob.
I really hope they come up with a way of rooting the .21 update.
Damn, that's exactly what I thought. Sonofa!

You are able to flash CWM.
It seems to be working fine.

I might be a little confused. I can use that method to flash CWM but don't I need an unlocked bootloader to flash a ROM? But I need root to unlock the bootloader right?

i'm in the same position as you and found a solution from another thread
if you want a stock based rom download virtuous prime its based off of .21, download it first
unlock
load clockwork mod
follow install instructions for virtuous
flash virtuous, since the rom is already rooted you will be rooted as well
this is what i did and i'm running superuser and all apps that require root.

You do not need root to unlock the bootloader. All you need is the apk from ASUS.

Quick question, and this may be a noob question, but is there a way to unlock the bootloader without using Asus' utility?

Short answer: No.
So before I go any further, I just want to make sure I've got everything clear in my head. I unlock, flash CWM, then flash ROM correct?
Edit: Nevermind about ViperMOD.
Edit 2: It's done. I unlocked, flashed CWM the fastboot method, and then booted straight into CWM to install VirtuousPrime.
I got a clarification on root.
If I just unlock the bootloader from htcdev, can I use adb tools to push the supersuer.apk into /system/app?. Does this method require a stock ATT boot.img?
I know there is no recovery for ATT, so don't want to brick the phone, but I wanted to know if unlocking the bootloader will give R/W on system partition or does a insecure boot.img needs to be flashed?
Any help?

TWRP has a revocery up for the ATT HOX+
I dont believe there are any ATT safe roms yet though.
I plan on only unlocking the bootloader from HTCdev (in fear that att might stop that over the air) and then just wait around a bit until a safe rom shows up.

I'll second that, I was able to root my AT&T HOX+ with the All-in-one. I'm a newbie at this, and am having trouble flashing ROMS on, but I'll try and figure it out at some point. Over in the "Android Development" section, a couple of people posted ROMs that should work with the AT&T and Telus versions. I'm not sure what S-off is, but is this keeping me from flashing ROMS?
Without flashing a custom kernel for that Rom first yes. This is why I hate having b new phone after the initial launch. All the good stuff is still in alpha and beta. Waited 6 months to get the inspire then a year to root it. Just for those reasons but I was late to the party as devs moved on. Sick twisted games we play

Hey guys, I recently downgrade from the latest OTA to 10b via the TOT method and worked great. I rooted the device and then went ahead and "unlocked" the bootloader via the Bump method. I've recently read the threads and 'ish went down. I want to flash a rom on my VZW LG G3, but I don't see any "Bumped" roms. I'm assuming I can't flash anything then? Any assistance on this? Is there an alternate method to flash roms than the Bump unlock method? I appreciate the responses!
If you already bumped your G3, you should be able to boot into TWRP recovery. From there you can flash roms . Just read the OP of each rom developers prereq for further details on their rom. FYI, you should have post this into Q&A section. good luck.
Practically all ROMS available are "bumped" and ready to flash. Just boot into recovery and start flashing. I personally use flashify to boot into recovery. It's easy than the other method.
Just stick to Roms in the vzw g3 android development areas and you should be fine.

Yeah I did. I used the TOT method. Pretty straight forward.
Thanks for the responses. I just wanted to make sure that using the Bump method didn't affect my ability to flash any VZW rom.
Bump does not unlock the Verizon G3. It does nothing at all to the phone. It is applied to things like TWRP so they will appear to be signed with LG keys and be allowed to load. Non stock firmwares and kernels and recoveries must be changed by the bump method to look like they are officially signed. They all are, if you find them discussed here.
The bump method could be broken in any future update, so avoid OTA's at all costs.
