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.

You're welcome! Now don't try to flash CyanogenMod! It'll give the infamous security error if your bootloader is locked!

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.

That's over my head...lol! LG is now following this trend of removing fastboot....how is that following open source policy again?....anyway, if you check the L9 II thread, you'll see what I mean. These evil people also made the Nexus which can be unlocked in 5 minutes and has fastboot. They like getting on our nerves it seems....*sigh*

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.

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.
Did u flash the radio.zip from the sdcard files? Did u leave screen on while waiting the entire time?

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.

After rooting my Motorola Photon 4g running on android 2.3.5 through Torpedo method. I am unable to enter into RSD or fastboot mode. The screen stuck at "entering into fastboot /RSD and I need to remove the battery to restart the phone.
While My phone is working fine, however, i need to install bootstrap and also worried that if something goes wrong, how, i will be able to back to normal.
Response would be highly appreciated.
About all you can do with 2.3.5

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?
Regards,

I had flashed stock recovery from this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2568799 but after i finished i can't enter to stock recovery. It show me red triangle error sign and stop. I think because of i flashed different version of recovery. Right? If so how do i get 1.23.707.1 stock recovery or how can i upgrade 1.54.401.1? Any idea for this problem please?
Here is my processing step...
1. When i get ota update, unlock bootloader
2. Then flash stock recovery from above link.
3. Lock bootloader
4. My device is still rooted and i download ota update. Then i install.
5. Device restart and start loading but may be round about 20% it start show me red triangle and stop processing.
Here is my device version
CID-HTC__044
hboot-2.46.0000

baseband version 4T.21.3218.04_10.15.1718.01L

Well your first problem is that the Bootloader has to be locked for the OTA update to take affect. Make sure you have Stock Kernel, Rom and Recovery Installed.

I unlocked the phone using rumrunner, and then loaded cwm recovery. I then installed the superuser, and it appears to succeed. Then I checked root with root checker and it said sorry you don't have proper root. I have checked my steps again and again, but am still pretty new to htc.

are you s-off?
what version of SuperSu did you flash? What Rom are you running? The latest SuperSU 1.94? Doesn't work for 4.2.2. If your S-off why and have CWM recovery why not flash a custom rom?
I am trying to do just that. I can't really find any up to date info to help me step by step, so I am piecing together the newest info I can find. I am a little confused right now. Stuck on trying to root. I flashed superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip

Do I need to root to load a custom rom? Is s-off =root on htc? I guess I have deleted everything off the phone and now it is stuck at the white htc screen. I can get to recovery but did not perform any backups. I can get to bootloader and recovery and I guess need to sideload a rom. I haven't had time the last few days to try anything new. Thanks for the input, I need to fix my dna so I can get off of this note 2 I don't like. I don't understand why htc doesn't sell better.... my dna was the **** before I ruined it!
S-off is secure flag removed meaning you can install unsigned firmware (eng hboot) unlocked means you can write to system partition and other secure partitions. Root means you have an app (like supersu) able to have other apps execute admin (root for Linux) commands. If you have cwm installed, just side load a pre rooted Rom from development sections.
