ok,so i just got the P769 and unlocked the bootloader and rooted and all that. so i tried going back to stock through KDZ and lost root. so i tried to regain root using a guide on this forum saying to use fastboot and i did that and got to the inverse lg logo and now my screen is messed up. not like the "Wonky" type way when you first unlock the BL but on the bottom of the screen seems to be borked now.. any ideas? ive tried flashing the TS cwm fix again and the f20 u boot and nothing...
FIXED!
Why would you want to go back to stock? LOL.
I would use fastboot and use these commands....
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase boot
Then flash u and x and try to offline flash the kdz.

Well thanks for the reply but I managed to fix it right after posting this.
I wanted stock again to see how the battery actually is but it only lasts me about 6-7 hours if that.
Why would you want to trade!?
Not unlocked!?!?!?
Not unlocked. I've tried everything. My dad is getting the Optimus F6 and I'll be trading phones with him.

I've got a DNA that I just bought today from someone. Its rooted already with a locked bootloader (that was once unlocked). It has custom recovery installed. Any rom I try to install won't boot and I have to boot into recovery and restore it. It has a functional rom on it now, but the wifi on whatever particular rom it is won't work. I'm not sure what firmware it is its UKB 1.3.0 and PRI version 2.44_002. Not sure if any of that is pertinent information, but I'm just looking to get on a Sense 5 rom with functional wifi. Or at least stock as a whole. It IS trying to accept an OTA update at the moment as well, but I deferred it until the 7th. Thanks for any help anyone can lend.

Ask the dude to email the unlock key so you can unlock it and have fun.
Or just go to htcdev and go through the unlock process.

Doesn't he need the unlock key that is emailed? Last I did this was Nov so I'm a little foggy on the steps.
I thought HTC and Verizon are responsible for the bootloader getting locked again

Since it was unlocked before it has supercid, which means you can just go through the htcdev process again.

It doesn't matter who caused it, the bottom line is that if youve never unlocked and are running 2.04 then the unlock exploit won't work.

When you did it, did you choose other device instead of DNA? You need to use the other devices option.

Are there any new developments on the P769 bootloader unlock problem? I have tried all the steps, flash V20B, wait 30 mins and adb oem unlock, nothing works. FU LG.

Yes, I flashed the radio.zip and connected to wifi, but do we need to keep the screen on the entire time?
That's what worked for me first attempt. strong WiFi strong radio

Notes It seems if you restore your phone tool using LG update tool .. it relocks the bootloader (assuming) in my case i had done it since 10.1 had BT issues ..went back to stock ..and unlocked it again today This is what you do :
what ever rom your on doesnt matter .
1.first Root the phone many way to root the phone .. then install busybox from market and install CWM (using the L9installer apk..Then enable wifi and debugging mode .also enable touches do these before proceding the KDZ!
Then install
2.then using the V20F_00.kdz your root the phone again like in step 1 install busybox from market and install CWM.then apply the touch screen fix .
You should have a working phone now with radio signal.Then wait about 40 mins then do oem-unlock command .. Note it will not boot into LG logo phone will just reboot .. Then to confirm if the bootloader is unlocked go to S/W mode on top it should say bootloader status is unlocked .just did this and flashed CM10.2
Maybe ill clean up this post soon if its too confusing ..
So what you mean is that it doesn't go into the fastboot screen to unlock the bootloader?

HAHA Yes! But I am going to keep trying. MAYBE I will get lucky? :fingers-crossed:
You know, I just found out that the hard reset might be causing a semi-lock of the bootloader. I'm going to try flashing the kdz twice....ugh.

It means that the euro kdz becomes partially locked at this point. According to what my friend told me, when the unlock command gets sent, LG checks the status of the bootloader. If they notice a semi-lock, they lock it down.
If that's the case, they are so evil.

Thanks a lot for your reply. Really appreciated.
However, the links are broken to download bootstrap recovery which you have provided. Kindly let me know from where I can download the same and how to install it. Moreover, what are the custom roms available. I am afraid that these will be locked ROMs only.
Regards,
I have rooted the phone with Torpedo Direct ver 1.1 and then installed peetr's locked Rom. Phone is working fine but i am not able to enter into recovery and only I see is the android logo with yellow triangle.
Can anyone help me what to do?

Hey there, I'm new to the LG Optimus L9 (P769) community and I don't know if this is normal but I don't remember seeing this when I first turned on my phone. The back and menu buttons blink during boot. Is that normal? The only thing I've done is root and install a custom recovery. It blinks at the LG logo.
That's normal after you install the 2nd init recovery. If you push the vol down button while they're flashing, it takes you to CWM.

Lol I saw people posting around about it. I was thinking of installing that themed ROM for our device. LG sucks lol. Not only you can't unlock the boot loader you can't access it. I'm so use to being able to fastboot boot.img and recovery. I'm kind of confused about something though. When the phone receives an ota , how does it flash it by itself? I know with HTC devices, it reboots to stock recovery and install and I know you can install ruu in hboot.

Hello guys,
My phone was bootloader unlocked. And my L9's motherboard was fired last week LG service told me; we changed motherboard. And they repaired it. And now I want to unlock my bootloader but it didn't unlock. I tried all methods and if I start the oem-unlock command, my phone is normally rebooted. So I can't unlock my bootloader. My phone's informations in the attachment. Please help me. Thanks...
