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...
Anyone has same problem? :crying:
I'm crying too.

Did you tried flash other KDZ file?
I'm done with flashing those stupid euro kdzs.....hahaha! I'm going to install kuma82's themed rom tonight and that will be it until someone figures out how to use the stock kernel to port a CM 10 for locked bootloaders. LG....you win...for now.

kuma82's guide
After trying the manual/KDZ method several times (then giving up) I tried kuma82's guide and it worked for me:

My phone is dated May 2013, I know there's some discussion about whether LG completely locked L9s after a certain date. Anyway, I was surprised, but for my phone it worked.

1. Its locked. Trust me.
2. Go to carloswii5's thread and follow the steps. Go HERE
3. We have a port, and yes you need to unlock bootloader. Cm10.1 for 769 HERE

It doesn't? Then I'm sorry but I know that there's a way to open the boot loader by flashing an P760 kdz then open bootloader then flash back but I think that made the screen mirror all the time.

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
Signal screen on..1 hour..unlock..left phone plugged into PC screen on entire time

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?

No, it just reboots no fastboot screen, no nothing, just turns back on to the lockscreen. LG Y U DO DIS?!

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.

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.

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*

Hi all, I have rooted my mothers lg p769 tmobile phone with the lgpwn.apk and removed some bloat and have no recovery yet. I want to install a custom recovery cwm twrp whichever is considered stable at this moment in time.
thanks in advance, I'm a little short on time right now is all. shes leaving on the second.
device info:
android version is 4.1.2
baseband version L6260_MODEM_SIC_01.1305.00
kernel version 3.0.31
software version P76920h
You need to unlock the bootloader before installing twrp. And that's not easy.

why is it not easy? edited.. this phone . Happpy New year.
thanks in advance for a good guide to follow specifically for flashing twrp after bl unlock. the guides I found are probably good but I am not certain.
First of all, I'm spanish, my apologizes of my expresions or misspelling.
That's what I've done:
1 - I've checked if my bootloader was unlockable, and my phone say's: NO
2 - Then I've installed the DualRecovery W/O root and with my phone bootlocked.
3 - Then I've tryed to flash CM11 in TWRP recovery, flashing first the Boot.img via fastboot.
4 - Device in Red Light.
What I can do to woke up my Z2? That's my record 2 hrs to **** my phone. :silly:
Firstly, it's stated in the first post of the CM11 thread that you shouldn't be using dual recovery. If you read the thread further, you'll see that it is recommended to use the recovery in DooMKernel to flash. And this requires unlocked bootloader.
Anyways, you can try using Flashtool to flash a stock firmware. Might be able to recover your phone.

If your BL is locked, you cannot install CM.... coz you cannot install a custom kernel. you should rebuild your phone using SEUS to put a good ROM.
Then you can put whatever ROM you want for LB and root it. but no custom kernel.

Hi there,
Is there any way to get root access without unlocking the bootloader. I found some ways in XDA but nothing is clear.
I would really appreciate if you guys can send me a link with a clear tutorial of how to get a new ROM without unlocking the bootloader.
I just got my Z2 which is sim locked (UK) and I can't unlock the bootloader from the official page.
Many thanks,

Yeah, working right now, then 3 questions more:
first: the phone comes with a Vodafone rom, I can put some "unbranded" rom? how?
second: I can't unlock my bootloader forever ??
and third: What is the function of recovery mode if I can't flash any cRom? Just backups?
Thanks all ^^

You can download a Generic FTF and use flashtool to flash it to your device
Once you unlock your bootloader it stays unlock till you relock
You can flash roms n manage general other stuff from recovery
