"Security error" - LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769

Could someone help me with this issue?
I unlocked the bootloader of my p768 a while ago, and then I sent it to the carrier service, because it was having some signal problems.
I read that, once you unlock your bootloader, you can't lock it again, so, when I got it back, it was kind of restored and today I tried to flash Clockworkmod (.img file) and when I tried to reboot it, it said "Security Error", I followed this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2470248
And when I connected the phone to the computer, and it says that the device already has the most recent version.
What do I do? Any suggestions?
Thanks

Hi @speakerstick
You need to update the recovery in the LG mobile support tool and then it should work.
Look in the top right screen and select "Support Tool Options Menu" and then select "Upgrade Recovery"

I've tried, but when it says it's uploading it to the phone it suddenly disconnects and I have to do the same process again, but the same thing happens.
What do I do?
Thanks

Are you using the stock cable? If not, do so.
Have you made sure nothing else (NOTHING ELSE BUT THE NECESSARY) is connected to the other USB ports? Unplug stuff.
Do you have the drivers needed? Uninstall, redownload, reinstall.
Have you tried on another USB port?
Do you have any idea, based on the logs the program generates, about what might be wrong?

I've done it! I finally was able to do it. I uploaded it with the battery, I know the guide says you shouldn't but it worked, now... Does anyone know how to re-root the device? I unlocked the bootloader a while ago and then I sent it to service, but how do I "root" the phone again?
Thanks!

Maybe you should try doing it the same way when you first unlocked the bootloader? Just a thought....lol.

[Q] The device is unlocked

So ASUS won't help because of I am trying to use the Asus Unlock tool. Once I mention it they say good bye. it's amazing how a company wont' support their own software!
Has anyone had the issue where when they click on the 'Press to unlock your device' and all you get is a messge of 'The device is unlocked' and than nothing?
What did you do to unlock your tf201? I tried doing a full factory reset and also down grading to .15.
Thanks!

Dumb question, but how do you know that you are not unlocked? Have you tried to install CWM or TWRP? If I recall, when I ran the unlock tool all that happened was that I got "the device is unlocked" on the splash screen, it rebooted then back to stock exactly like it was before. Nothing was different.
Sorry to thread jack but do unlocked people always get "the device is unlocked" on the splash screen on every boot? I have got the impression from screenshots etc. that happens every boot. I only saw it once though, now my splash screen has no text on it when I boot (unless I run CWM )

Can't install CWM or TWRP. Can't get into fastboot. Don't see the 3 options. I only see 2 options when I hold down and power button.
Don't see the message when I reboot.
My device never rebooted when I clicked on the button.
I had the same problem with my prime. Your device is not unlock.I unlock my device before, but afterward I have to send it in for rma service with Asus. after i got the device back I can't unlock it no more. It keep on giving me unknown error message when I try to unlock

I get the unlock_time.txt file on the internal drive not /sdcard. I get it every time I click on the button, but I'm sure it's not unlock. I tried installing CWM and TWRP.

I mean the internal drive when I say /sdcard. What does your unlock_time.txt file say? Mine says "Last Unlock Device Time: Sat Mar 10 23:34:59 EST 2012". Yours should say something similar. Which method did you use to try to flash the recovery?
Sent from my EPAD using xda premium
Mine says similar also.
I tried both CWM and TWRP.
CWM I tired method 1 and 2.

For TWRP I tried the GooManager - Install OpenRecoveryScript
Every time I try I get the 'blob verification signature failed' and it reboots normal.

Beats me - sorry dude. It does look like you are unlocked but if you can't flash recovery... If you don't get any responses here I would pm Doktaphex. He is a nice guy and will probably be able to get you sorted out.

I think the easiest way is to use LG mobile support tool. refer to this member post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2456558&highlight=encrypt
- Boot you phone to S/W update mode
- Run LG mobile support tool (B2CAppSetup.exe)
- Select recover you phone from menu and wait for about an hour
- *Dont forget to comment lg server that you add in host file for offline flash
There're also other way to fix it, if you can boot into Stock recovery by Holding vol- + ... (I can't remember ), but this combo may hard reset your phone if you don't have stock recovery. In stock recovery mode you can use adb to push and replace busybox. I don't try this myself but some member unbrick their phone by this method.

P769 LG Security Error

So I rooted my phone with a locked bootloader using this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2173465 and went ahead and installed CWM recovery, and then tried to flash this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2428306
After my phone rebooted, I keep on getting this LG Security Error and cannot boot into the phone.

Sounds like you made a serious error and didn't do any research before proceeding. Did you install the LG drivers prior to doing anything with the phone? If not, you have just bricked your device. L9RecoveryInstaller.apk is the ONLY way at the moment to successfully install CWM on the P769 if the bootloader is locked. I don't have all the answers myself as I'm fairly new to this device, P769, myself. There may be someone here with a little more insight as to how to fix your issue, but if you didn't install LGs drivers beforehand, I'd say your device is bricked. Sorry.
You'll need to use fastboot to flash ICS u and x. Then go into upgrade mode by holding volume up and plugging the phone to the computer. Upgrade mode should pop up and you're ready to flash any kdz using the offline flash method.

security error should appear when some system mod was been wrong (sorry bad english)
you should re-flash the firmware with kdz(this time flash a firmware with cwm and root included)

L9 P769 is a much different creature than the other P76X variants. CWM CANNOT be installed on the recovery partition unless the bootloader is unlocked. There are very few people here who have managed to unlock the bootloader on this device ( P769 ). Any attempt to modify the bootloader, boot partition, or recovery ends in "LG Security Error". As per my previous post, the only way to get CWM on this device with a locked bootloader is with the L9RecoveryInstaller.apk.

Do you have busybox installed and or do you have multiple copies of busybox installed?
If you don't have busybox, install it from the Play Store. Make sure it installs to /system/xbin.
If you have multiple copies, which I did when I had this error, use the busybox installer to uninstall all copies of busybox and then use the installer to reinstall busybox to /system/xbin.
You may need to run L9RecoveryInstaller again. It will say there is a recovery installed just reinstall anyway.
Reboot and try again.

Cm11 is available, yes some people can unlock the bootloader. Theres a few threads about removing tmobile bloatware, along with solutions to the other questions I answered. Simply search your question and you'll find a solution. THEN if you can't find the solution by searching make a thread to ask about it. Goodluck if you try unlocking the bootloader, its quite a journey!! If you can't unlock it or the process scares you out of trying search Kuma ROM. Goodluck!

Hi, I'm in a similar boat as the OP, successfully rooted the device but didn't realise I needed an unlocked bootloader to flash a recovery. Now I get Security Error.
Now, I keep seeing "ICS x and u" on this forum, and have no idea what it is. Yet people keep saying it like it's obvious.
Is this it? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44144663
If so, obviously I can't follow the steps because my phone won't boot up past the splash screen. And said phone isn't recognized by ADB at the moment, because I can only figure out how to boot it into S/W update mode.
Currently I can't even use the L9RecoveryInstaller.apk, because, again, can't boot up. Help?

reboot to bootloader (Or boot in your place) and navigate to factory mode and keep pressing the power button for about 20-30 times and then your phone will boot. Now select allow OEM unlock and unlock your bootloader and reflash the stock ROM or any other ROM you want. Good Luck!!
Unlock Code
Did you notice that you can receive a code to unlock the device om the Motorola site?
They'll email you a code after you enter a code the phone produces. There are tutorials. If you've done this already, I apologize. But it's worth checking into if you overlooked it.

Can't 100% guarantee you that it will work or not.Both device have same spec so it should work but one have 2mp font camera and other have 1.9mp camera. It shouldn't be a big problem I think.
And can you also tell me weather you were taking about sm-g361f or sm-g360f brother? Can you mention the exact model number I should try flashing with? THERE ARE MANY MODELS IN SM-G360....WHICH ONE WOULD SUIT THE BEST BROTHER?

yes my brother....i did just that....i downloaded the firmware files and tried to flash with odin....but the flash doesnt proceed....it gets stuck in initialization cause of the locked bootloader....i hadnt enabled 'oem unlock' when the phone was working....and also in the download mode it shows 'secureboot - enabled'.....so the locked bootloader is not allowing odin to flash.....the phone is being recognized by adb and it shows up with a serial number as recovery in the adb console....is there any way i could enable oem unlock and unlock the bootloader through adb commands?

You need to install twrp via odin and from twrp you need to do a full factory reset(data,cache,delvik,phone memory).after that try again to flash stock rom via odin.Here is the twrp link for your device http://teamw.in/devices/samsunggalaxycoreprimequalcomm.html

but there is still some problem brother.....after flashing twrp 3 with odin the phone booted up to the home screen anad all my apps and settings were intact....but when i restarted the phone again....it showed the boot screen and then went blank.....i reflashed the twrp with odin again and it booted up to the home screen.....this time I MADE A FACTORY RESET AND AGAIN THERE WAS THE SAME PROBLEM.....PHONE WAS NOT BOOTING UP TO THE HOME SCREEN.....I REFLASHED TWRP AGAIN....BOOTED UP TO HOME SCREEN AND TRIED SOFTWARE UPDATES....BUT I GOT A MESSAGE SAYING THAT THE PHONE WAS MODIFIED IN AN UNAUTHORIZED WAY AND THAT I COULD TRY USING KIES FOR UPDATES.....
THE BOOTLOADER SEEMS TO BE DAMAGED.....CAN YOU TELL ME HOW TO UNLOCK THE BOOTLOADER WITH ADB BROTHER? WHEN I TYPE REBOOT RECOVERY THROUGH ADB, THE PHONE REBOOTS AND WHEN IT COMES TO THE TWRP RECOVERY SCREEN, IT TURNS BLANK....SO IM UNABLE TO GO INTO TWRP TO WIPE SOME STUFF AS YOU HAD SUGGESTED EARLIER....SHOULD I TRY CWM?

thanks for the link brother.....but that website is a fake website with fake android 6 custom rom links....
brother....do you have a SM-G360AZ MOBILE? CAN YOU INSTALL FLASHIFY ON YOUR PHONE AND TAKE A BACKUP IMAGE OF THE STOCK RECOVERY AND UPLOAD A LINK HERE....
TWRP IS NOT WORKING....THE PHONE REACHES RECOVERY AND THEN TURNS BLANK....

Why do you need stock recovery?There's no stock recovery available for your device.Try to instell different twrp version for your phone.
