This forum is a lot like one of those old western ghost towns you see on TV....if you wait long enough, you can see a tumble weed roll by.

Some have unlocked, I myself still haven't. This guide is pretty p769 oriented http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2277639.

Odds are you won't be able to unlock unless someone creates a new method.
Alright, once i have been unlocking bootloader on p760 and i was succesful from first try. But i did this after i've reflashed kdz threw lg support tool, because i,ve got security alert. I wanted to flash cyanogen mod, and after flashing, i've got security alert. so i reflashed kdz with support tool and after that i succesful unlocked bootloader by adb unlock. so i'm wondering.. maybe we need first to get security error, when fix it and after that try to unlcok? anyone, who got unlocked, have you ever got security error before?

So I have been looking all over the forums for the answer to this question but have not been able to find it. My Optimus G is rooted and has the boot loader unlocked via Free Gee. Still running the stock ROM with LG Skin. Question is if and when the 4.1 update releases will I be able to update or will I have to lock the boot loader again? Appreciate any help a lot of helpful info out here.

Don't accept any otas once you are rooted and unlocked. There will be a pretty good chance that the ota will have a fix that will break the root and/or unlock.
Actually, you can freeze "com.lge.lgfota.permission" and "com.lge.omadm.client" in ti bu. That will prevent the ota notification.

Okay I thought that would be the case, just wanted to double check before that came out. So do you think that it would be all good to install if I just locked the boot loader back or would I need to completely unroot my device as well?

Pretty sure the ota would just unroot and lock your phone unless you are on a custom ROM.

That's what I was thinking too because my last Android phone before this one was the Galaxy S2 Epic 4G Touch and every time I installed an ota it would remove root.

You can't accept an ota because of custom recovery and the unlocked bootloader; otas will fail to apply and you'll be suck rebooting into recovery until we fix your misc.

[Q] How will we know when it is released?
Other than keeping an eye on the media, how will we know when it is being released for our phone?
Is there a preferred site that we should be monitoring?
Will LG release it before AT&T tries to send it OTA? If so would it not have all the bloat that AT&T likes to add?
That's enough questions for now.
Thanks for answering...

That is what I have been doing, just checking the Internets and going that I see that article that says "Hey U.S. Optimus G users its finally here"!
I just wish LG would get the ball rolling on this soon, but hopefully releasing it in Korea is a sign that it is coming...

um, not really. The korean version of ICS was out in november for the LG o3d and there is no update in sight for any non korean o3d. Forget the waiting game.

P769 won't get custom roms for a little while. We are still waiting on the jelly bean/bootloader unlock update, that came out in europe. I speculate that we will have all the custom roms that are available on p760 in about 1-2 months but there is no way to know for sure. But still a solid phone for the price (I got mine as a free upgrade when I renewed my contract) and the prepaid is $200 I believe.

Did you get any error messages? Or did you finish the process and when you checked for Root Access, you didn't see anything?

People need very small procedures and quick solutions. The length of the guide could be the problem. They simply dont read it fully. I think the guide looks lengthy but the flashing and rooting is very simple and quick.
Sometimes they dont even explain what are problems.

Yes the guide is long but all u need to do is read fully thru a few times then follow instructions exactly as they are typed skipping nothing. I tried root one night and i was under the influence it took me so many tries i gave up but i sobered up read thru the guide again did it step by step and successfully rooted my phone. Ppl have to make sure they change their host files and reboot otherwise ur gonna get that lg server maintenance error which is what had me stuck until i changed my hosts file correctly

Im thinking about getting the optimus l9 p769, but I was looking at the threads, and i noticed 2 android development forums and one has roms and the other doesnt, so whats the difference?
And will those roms all work on the p769?
Thanks, sincerely
first, I'm not really sure of the difference myself, so I won't comment on that. but NONE of the roms work for the p769. Let me repeat that just in case I wasn't clear. NONE OF THE CURRENT ROMS WORK FOR THE P769!!! this is partially because of the difference in hardware, and partially because the p769 doesn't have an unlocked bootloader like the other versions.

well then what do i do? if i unlock the bootloader will that fix it?
I'll answer that question, no, because nobody can unlock the bootloader. there.
P.S. my brother borrows my account periodically, this was my brothers question.
nope, you just have to wait. when we get an official release of jelly bean, we'll get the ability to unlock our bootloader, and the people that have this phone will be able to develop roms for it.
The P769 will be [naturally] unlockable once T-Mobile approves its Jelly Bean update and it gets out in the air. There is a roundabout method available for unlocking the bootloader for the impatient/tech savvy as well as a CyanogenMod 10.1 unofficial P769 build, but I'd recommend waiting.
Is the jelly bean update definitely on the way?

The source code for JB on the P769 was recently released. So it's only a matter of time when it is officially released and we get a KDZ
You can unlock the bootloader I unlocked mine and its one ROM for it cm 10.1 its unofficial though

It runs pretty well. My only real problem is that the clock seems to to not sync correctly. I had to set my time myself because when I set it to Central Time (I'm in Chicago so) but gives me a time 5 hours in advanced. Also no Apps2sd is tough. Hopefully this will be turned on soon. Otherwise I'm not having any problems with it. Battery drains a little quicker then normal but I can't complain.

The reason it does that was mentioned in the op for that rom "This will basically turn the p769 to p760 with the appropriate mods to enable proper function of the p769"

Very nice.
djrbliss, would this enable the flashing of a patched aboot? That way it achieves a similar setup like with the Verizon S3.

Most likely gonna switch to AT&T or T-Mobile and get an S5 or maybe even an LG G2. I saw an LG G2 last night and it honestly blew me away, S4 was fun while it lasted

Yeah i understand the frustration with the locked boot loader.. No Aosp Roms is fine with me but no kernels sucks .. I should have researched a little more before buying this phone but i only paid $185 for it two months ago so its not a big deal . I can still sell for a profit it i decide to get a different phone...Might check out the g2 but will probably end up with GS5
Hi guys,
I have moved onto a new device so I wont really be in the L9 forums anymore. Ill try to check in when I can and see if I can still help people out, ill also maintain my P768 bootloader thread if people have questions on unlocking the bootloader - although it seems to be a pretty hit and miss situation.
Ive got a new Sony Xperia SP so ill mainly be in that forum and the nexus 7 one too.
Good luck to all you L9 users and thank you to everyone who has helped me out during my time here. The L9 has been a great phone, annoying at times with the bootloader issues, but otherwise awesome!
Thanks guys!

My previous devices have been much worse. I had a ZTE Skate -300mb user storage, then a Huawei Honor which died during an update.This was almost my first problem free phone. The downloader did unlock for me, I hated how LG handled SD cards on stock ROMs, couldn't install any big games. Once it was unlocked and running CM10, it was a good phone. Using LG notifications was good for adding useful light notifications (should have been a stock feature!)
Disappointing that you had to hack it up to make it work how it should.
