Okay, so I have the LG optimus l9(p769) through MetroPCS.. and I wanted to put a custom rom on it.. I did this with one of my old phones, but its been a while.. but from what i've been reading, I need to unlock my bootloader, which im having a hard time doing. I used rom toolkit.. my phone restarted, but thats all, nothing else happened. So I googled this, and apparently im not the only one with this problem.. I read that I need to flash p960, then try and unlock the bootloader.. is this true? I've read everywhere on trying to do this stuff for this phone, cant seem to get it working.. Guess my old phone was easier.. I just wanna put CWM on after unlocking my bootloader.. I tried looking at tutorials for both, seem to hit a dead end everywhere.. Thanks for the help guys.

Well I being stupid person that I was loaded Faria's rom without unlocking my G4 it got to 99% and errored saying update error and such. So i did some research finding out that I had to unlock first, now after reaidng some tutorials I see things about uploading the EnableRapi to my 8125 but problem is when I turn it on it only has the rainbow colors I can't get in to the phone and I can't use it..
Could anyone please help me and guide me or paste me a thread on how I can fix this. I've been researching for hours and haven't gotten anywhere. If anyone can please help me itll be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
All you have to do is put your phone in bootloader mode then flash wizard love or the rom that your device was shipped with.
You havent told us what wm5 rom your device originally had on it so we cant help you there but Wizard Love can be found here and here.

i've installed farias o1st wm6 rom on my g4 device using the shelltoll method..
i wanted 2 try nother wm6 rom
do i have 2 go thru the entire unlock process again or just use the shell tool with the new rom
ok
u hav 2 go thru the unlocking CID process again & everytime u want 2 reflash
Cingular 8125 G4
All seems to be working back to normal question though using the shelltools it doesn't display all the information about the phone when I press Get Info, i have a 2.x.0001 but when I press get info it wont show the info on CID or the option below it, but itll allow me to Extract OS, is that okay? or do if I flash it, it won't work?

Unless the person who converted the 80040000-OS.nb to nk.nbf filled in those fields then they will be blank. Dont worry about these details. Flash away.
Good Luck
G4 help
so i tried flashing it I thought it was successful I did the hard reset after I ran the ShellTools. Was I supposed to do anything after the hardreset? Because I though then maybe I can go on to trying Faria's stuff but when I did got to 99% and 302 error occured so now im flashing back to old ROM, any hints? tips? or programs to make the G4 unlocking easier? any or maybe any roms out there you know of that won't mess with the SPL/IPL that I can just load the rom and use it?
Thanks

So you tried to flash Faria's rom to a CID locked G4 then when that didnt work you used shelltool. Following this you tried to flash Faria's rom to your still CID locked G4 and it didnt work again?
I'm a bit confused so I'll start at the beginning again. If you do in fact own a G4 CID locked device then the only way that you can upgrade your OS is to use shelltool, unless you want to pay imei-check to unlock it. Using the RUU method to update a CID locked G4 will produce an error and not finish flashing or it will complete the flashing process but your OS will not have changed.
Shelltool doesnt unlock your device, it will still be CID locked after shelltool completes. Shelltool only updates OS so the chance of bricking your device is minimal. Hope this helps.
Given up on unlock app doesn't work at all, I have serial cant get ota or unlock bootloader any alternatives coming out
at this point: No.
Its not that we dont want it, its just that the bootloader is both locked down and encrypted, its VERY hard to gain access.
There is some rumors going around that ASUS may unlock full NV flash, if they do that then PERHAPS we might have alternate methods of unlocking, but for now your stuck with what Asus gives you. sorry mate.
Yea saw that post, hope ppl figure it out , love the Modding community been havin a blast with Samsung sgs2 was hoping to be the same for the prime. Been trying to explain about the bootloader problem to rma ppl but they always don't get it.
I Need Some Help With My Phone And As Previously Having The Nexus S, Know This Is A Good Place To Come. I Am Wanting To Unlock Boot loader Via HTC's Method, Root, And Install ROM's. Every time I Try To Unlock (I'm On H BOOT 1.5 By The Way) I Get As Far As The Get Identifier Token Command And My Phone Can Never Send It/Computer Never Receives It So This Is Stopping Me From Continuing. I Am Really Interested In Trying Out Some Of The ROM's Here And Yes I Have Read Other Threads And Guides And None Really Helped With My Problem/Situation So I Was Hoping Maybe Someone Could Post Here And Help So I Get More And Better Alerts On This. So Please If Anyone Can Help Please Do. Everything Is Stock 2.17 ROM, H BOOT 1.5, S-ON, Locked, And So Forth I Bout It New From Sprint.
I had some problems following the unlock guide for my phone. Mine is boot 1.5 s-off and unlocked now, but I did a search on youtube for unlocking and rooting the evo3d gsm and found a good video on how to get it done. I was having some problems with one of the steps and one of the posts on there got me by it.
I rooted my phone a month ago, so the videos and links should still be good.
Greetings, _I have a AT&T atrix 4g, with 2.3.6. OTA updated to 4.5.145 so i can´t unlock the boot loader, is there a way i can install TWRP to my phone, the only thing i've been able to do is to root it, but not unlocking the boot loader, so i'm trying to ake a nandroid backup to use freely the pimp my rom utility, and restore the backup in case something goes wrong, Thanks in advance!!!!
Well why do you think unlocking the bootloader is even needed? You cannot do anything but root if you don't unlock the BL. No way to install any recovery.
However, where did you get this that .145 cannot be unlocked? Unlockability has nothing to do with the firmware version. If you really cannot unlock (tried and failed), it is for different reasons.
Svereal people has told me that this update came with many security fixes, and one of them is for unlocking the boot, that if i try, mos likely it's gonna end in hard bricking my phone via RSD lite that i guess is the only way to flash the unlock sbf..... the point is that soooo many people has told me this, that now i'm very afraid to do it, everyone's has said that this compilation and because it's a AT&T phone, it can't be unlocked the boot.....
Wich could be the consequences if i try to unlock the boot and fail??? (Please, i know that you guys know a lot about this, so i want to be very sure that there's no really high risk of bricking just for the firm, or for the fact that is AT&T)
I'm trying to unlock the BL to put th CM7.....
Here you go.

Old post, but here you go. I installed the 4.5.145 OTA update, then followed the guide written by "thekooliest" over on the atrixforums.com to unlock the bootloader after rooting. As always, no responsibility blah, blah. Make sure you post any further basic questions on that forum instead of here. They are better at dealing with new people. Good luck. As for a ROM, I'd recommend Epinter's 10.1 or NottAch if you want to have full functionality. If you want to overclock epinter's rom, use fech's 1.2 Kernel. Faux's 1.3 and 1.45 are on the Aroma Installer included in Nottach.
hi i need help. so here is what happened. i have a sprint htc one max. i unlocked the bootloader and rooted the phone. flashed a custom rom on it and had it flashed to page plus and no problems with the phone. when i saw that it could be unlocked. i tried the steps to relock my bootloader and then things when wrong. i relocked my bootloader but now i am stuck in bootloader mode and cant enter recovery. i have been reading in the forums but nothing seems to be a clear solution to me. i tried to install the RUU from sprint and it wont load. i get ERROR 133 (if i am not mistaken) and when i try to find the phone on adb it wont show up. so now i am hoping someone can guide me or show me what i need to do. if not i guess i have a new fancy paper weight hahaha. thanks guys appreciate it.

Does bootloader mode work? If so, you can use the ruu zip on an sd card to fix your phone. You can follow the instructions in my vzw ruu thread for option to. Just make sure you use the Sprint zip instead of mine.
