Just starting a new forum to see how many people have done this successfully and to gather details. This is a topic that I am forwarding from Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769 General > [GUIDE/TOOL] Unlocking Bootloader & Recovery ; this discussion is cable specific. I have found the LG 910K USB flash cable online for $25.00, and it seems as if this could be our saving grace to unlocking the bootloader as it allows more data to transfer than the standard micro USB when the KDZ is flashed. This could be the key that will open the bootloader's "door". I am eager to hear if anyone has tried this with success, and have already read a post or two to that respect. (I want CM11!!!):laugh:
Just bought one
Well I just purchased a cable online. It is coming from the Peoples Republic of China, so it might be a while before I receive it. Cost less than 20$ USD shipping included. Would love to hear if anyon3 else has made this work.
Method with 910k works. I unlocked bootloader by using this cable

That's what I was wondering... Octopus box and such ($250 !!!) ?
Or using this cable with LG Software is enough ?

I used octobus box, but some people unlocked bootloader by using offline method. I didn't use it so I can't help you with it.
For the cost of the octopus box, just get the Optimus L90. Not only that, you'll have cash left over for a protective case.

Was the fastboot cable a selective resistance cable? If so, what setting was used? Which KDZ did you attempt to flash?
dumb question, but...
exactly how is a selective resistance USB cable supposed to help unlock the SOFTWARE encrypted bootloader on lgms769's (metro PCs)produced after June(or July) 2013?
my guess is that ppl having troubles unlocking the BL on these devices is more translation and procedural than the actual guides being wrong.
I made a thread about how this fon is kinda like the Motorola droid x with its locked bootloader and how KitKat 4.4.4 was made to work on IT by using safestrap and some other process to,I guess, stop the normal boot process and leaves the fon in a state that allows custom kernals and such to be loaded.
anyway maybe someone can look into this? I'd do so myself but my laptop along with my trusty old droid x got stolen outta my car last week...
assuming a fastboot cable even works with this phone, it wouldnt necessarily unlock it, all a fastboot cable does is kick it into fastboot mode, assuming that we just were having issues getting it into fastboot but still were able to receive the token, maybe it might help in the sense that we could then issue the unlock command.

No the fastboot cable just has two of the wires jumped. I did order the selective one and I will be trying it as soon as I receive it.
It's been quite a ride. ...but I've had enough. I'll be checking back from time to time. Even though I have L90, I'll hold on to the L9 as my backup. Bye for now!

Giving up?!
Just spent another eight hours trying to follow a detailed an extensive Euro_20B flash and unlock procedure. Needless to say, it didn't work.
Thank you Kuma for the awesome locked bootloader ROM. I was able to reflash it after much struggle with a wonky touchscreen ect. Unless someone can show that the variable resistance cable makes a scratch of difference without an octopus box, I do not believe I have the will to try this again.
Is there no hope for this? (06/2013)

No, I don't think there is any Hope for unlocking these encrypted bootloader on the L9's. If this "Cable" method works (which has been rumored for months) you then have to spend the money to purchase a cable and/or an octopusbox. I'd rather invest every single cent into a different phone at this point...
Sorry to hear that you spent 8 hours drudging through the whole unlock process again. I just spent about 8 mins flashing the new Android L developers preview image on my Nexus 5. Lol. Point is I gave up on my L9 months ago and not just because of the encrypted bootloader but, its slow, it lacks features and has terrible internal memory. I couldn't be happier with switching phones.
Yes, kuma82 is a savior and a saint! That's the only way to make it even worth using our L9s.

NO!!!! That is INCORRECT! Make sure you phone is LOCKED before you take it to best-buy or Sprint!!!!! You got the phone under warranty Locked, they will standby that. If you unlocked it and they see it, that means you f**ked with it which voids the warranty and they don't owe you s**t!

You don't have to take my word for it, ask a forum admin. He**, go to another phone and ask around there! Look [email protected], the instructions for ANY Flash/Root/Unlock starts out with "This will void your warranty and I'm not responsible if you brick your phone!" Then they give you instructions.
Even if you take it in unlocked and they find out and you say screw it and walk out, then fix it yourself back to stock, your still f**ked. They will upgrade your account with note that you did it, so if something jacked later, T.E.P is off the hook!!!
Note: I know all this because I was a B.E.S. Admin for @ 7 years. My old job, I did not work in Mobile support, but I loved flashing Windows phones and they had like 40 of them laying around. Sale guys would see **** I did, to embrassed to ask because it would make them look dumb, try it, brick it, go into Store, hence, company contract and warranty is gone!!!! Got into Android with Evo and never looked back!
I'm working but just looked @ briefly, e-mail me your e-mail and I will send you file and EXACT instructions to get you out of jam. In the mean time, you need to download RSDLite to your computer and install. Also, make sure you have 100% charge on your phone (you can go lower, but that is trouble too!). Also, free up USB on BACK of computer, not front!!
Trust me, I spent 2 days without phone, I know how it feels!
I'm Home! [email protected]!
My bad a lil lost so are you saying to sbf because I already did and it didn't fix the problem what I can try is someone can do a fresh install backup with none of your info and pm a zip or files and see what my is missing

Damn that's actually a really cool idea. Wish I knew more about this stuff. I would totally open a shop in the mall that specializes in all kinds of phone repair.

Basically what he does is, he uses his JTAG device and program to reflash the bootloader/download mode to the device. This is why he has to open the phone up and solder wires directly to the mainboard. Once the bootloader is all working, he can put the phone back together and reboot the phone into download mode. From there he most likely uses LGNPST to flash back all the other partitions.
This is just my best guess from watching the video.
Lol the phone in the video is my actual phone. The one I'm responding on right now. He did a great job. Thanks josh @ mobiletechvideos.com.

I bought a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 for Verizon that I ran Casual on unlocked the bootloader, rooted it and put a custom Rom on. Then it all when to heck!! Loaded CleanRom on it but didn't like the Storage and SD card thing so I Flashed the changeup but apparantley I missed something in there becuse it wasn't right it would put apps on the sd card memory but pictures on the internal memory. Said I was out of space for updates and so on. Couldnt get it fixed and flashed Mean Bean to it. It worked for 3 days and began boot looping and I tried factory restore and It says something about efs files E:failed to mount /efs (Invalid Argument). Sent it to repair shop in Irving Tx. they have had it 2 weeks and they say if they can't fix it by Monday, there going to ship it back to me, still broken. Can this be fixed or do I have a $600.00 paperweight

Thank you very much for the link, looks pretty complicated, I have only rooted 3 phones. 2 Motorola Droids 1 was an X2 and an LG Spectrum. This is very complicated stuff. The shop that had my phone is sending it back to me tomorrow, no charge they say the only way it can be fixed is under warranty, which I have voided by unlocking the bootloader and rooting it.

This is really not a very complicated procedure. Everything you would have to do you can look up and find out how to do it via Google. Its better than having to pay $60 to have it JTAGed. I'm not even sure if JTAGing it would be the way to go seeing as how it giant hard bricked and the steps to fix it are fairly explained in that thread. If you cant do what the thread explains find a techie family member or friend, show them the thread and ask them to do it.

The people you have been talking to apparently don't know jack diddly ****, look up MobileTechVideos. He is the communities go to guy and has been JTAGing Note 2s for quite a while. Don't believe everything you hear from these repair shops, most of them won't even know what the hell a JTAG is let alone if its available, which it is.
I have a very bad feeling about this shop, I'm pretty sure they're going to screw you pretty hard when you could've sent it off for $60 and had it JTAGed.

Romotx - You jumped into the pool when you started flashing, but then you didn't want to learn how to swim. Did you even try typing the commands in the linked thread? That's how it works you type commands carefully and when you get an error you look that error up and try it again. Got a new error, look that one up, and so on. The more you do, the more help you get here. But it sounds like you were not very careful to start with to bork your phone that bad.
It's too late for you, but for others, when something goes wrong take a step back and take a breath. Do some reading, make sure you understand where you went wrong, and what and why you are doing next to your phone. What ever you did should have been an easy fix at some earlier point in time.
But good luck in getting your phone repaired.

Yes and that link that was posted earlier tells you exactly how to fix it. You just don't want to use it. If you can't get into CWM or TWRP try it on what shows up when you boot into recovery, for Christ's sake it's even telling you to use ADB commands which is exactly what that thread tells you to do. If you had pages attention you would know that.
Instead of taking it to a "shop" that obviously doesn't know its ass from a hole in the ground you should listen to the people in the community who have been through this before.

But seriously, listen to dude above, or wait for droidstyle or kintwofan to pop in. They'll answer the same way they do every other time this happens. Search for "bricked note 2 xda" and add "kintwofan" or "droidstyle" to the mix (WILDCARD) and see how many hits you get. Doesn't matter if the symptoms aren't exact - TRY IT.
What bad can happen? You gonna brick your phone? Hell, it may even start working again!?

I never acted like anybody was a fool. I have been lurking and reading for years on here. I respect everyone's advice here! I have a $600.00 phone that I screwed up,yes thats what you have to do with Verizon to keep your unlimited data plan that they grandfathered you into and now when you want to upgrade it's pay full price for the phone or you get 2Gb. plan, and I don't feel confident enough to fix it like you guys suggest. I have never used ADB, I have never had a brand of phone where you could unlock the bootloader, I'm not a command and scripts and whatever voodoo you guys do to these phones.kind of guy. I can build computers and I have rooted and put roms on 2 other phones. I can't afford to buy another phone and in this backwoods hick town when you talk to anybody about rooting a phone they have no idea what the heck your even talking about.
ok i just had a fatal error happen, as i was running the 1.15 RUU (because i was having issues) status bar got to 17% the my asus computer rebooted to complete some updates that i had no idea were installing. mMy phone now does nothing at all.. no bootloader, no led when pluged in, i mean nothing. is there anything that i can do besides sell for dirt cheap,,, thanks

Yeah JTAG is the best way to go. It sucks to lose all the data but at least you have a working phone. You 're only entitled of 2 claims within 12 months on Insurance. If you use them both you'll be dropped from the Insurance coverage for a year; no matter if you purchase a brand new device. So I'd suggest you save them

Do the home recent and back leds flash when hold just the power button down ?

Yeah JTAG is the best way to go. It sucks to lose all the data but at least you have a working phone. You 're only entitled of 2 claims within 12 months on Insurance. If you use them both you'll be dropped from the Insurance coverage for a year; no matter if you purchase a brand new device. So I'd suggest you save them

Has anyone had any luck yet with this yet? I want to play around with it. Trying to get the correct terminal emulator commands for Linux GalliumOS.

is this a fact or is it because the phone is so new that nobody is working on it yet? Is there any hope for the future or is it because its a Verizon only phone?
I'm coming from a Droid Razr M running CM12. Other than flashing and updating my XT907, I have not kept up with newer phones. I've been really spoiled with the unlocked bootloader on my old phone.

It's 100% fact as of right now...I have no idea if anyone is even trying to work on cracking this bootloader...
The fact that it's VZW only right now certainly hurts the chances of it ever happening...I'm coming from a Droid Turbo...that phone was unlocked like over a year after release...
I don't believe the Turbo 2 has been unlocked at all...
There is always a chance...but it's slim

I understand people saying it can't but the nosey part of me wants to know what steps were taken or who. I read on Motorola site about unlocking bootloader but it breaks the warranty. I would be interested in seeing how far I could get. Right now I'm still within 2 week period before returning phone. I have Verizon because my employer gets a discount. I'm used to rooting my phone's & VZW is killing my vibe. Lol. I tried the Motorola because my G5 had not had any progress yet with rooting.

- Don't waste your time trying to get an unlock code from Motorola, they won't be giving it to you
- if you're expecting root or a bootloader unlock before you're 2 week return period, you might as well return it now...not gonna happen.
- I'm fairly confident one of the devs will figure it out, but I wouldn't count on it ANY time soon

No I like the Moto but I will probably swap it for the Z Force. I love the cam on my G5 and I need something comparable. I just have more hope that the Moto will see root before my VZW G5. But I could be wrong.

I walked into a VZW corporate store a week or two back, and played around with the Moto Z Droid. I went into Settings --> About Phone and tapped on the Build number enough times to open up the developer settings menu. Under Developer Settings, there's a switch to "Unlock Bootloader". I toggled it from off to on, and the phone seemed happy enough before I left.
I do realize that this toggle under developer settings may mean nothing and may do nothing to actually unlock the bootloader - just relating what I saw.
I did ask the retail guy if it was for real, of course he didn't know, but when I asked him why VZW was so anal about locked bootloaders when they sell Nexus devices - he said that he thought attitudes were finally changing there.

Ah. No surprise as it did seem way too simple. Oh well.
FWIW, I've been messing around with Android phones for a long time, and haven't seen that option before (for example, it's not on my old HTC One when running CM12 or any CM13 variant).

Must be the fact that Moto uses such a stock version of Android?...it was there in the options for my Droid Turbo from 2014...

It must be something that some OEM's remove from the menu, or its only included when you're running stock, or very close to stock Android like Moto does...

As you can see it was added to the developer options as of version 5.0

My unlocked Moto Z just came in yesterday in the mail. I pre ordered it from the Moto website, and it came in a few days earlier than expected. After enabling developer options, you can see that the OEM unlocking is turned off by default, but you can just swipe to enable it.

I comprehend individuals saying it can't however the nosey piece of me needs to recognize what steps were taken or who. I read on Motorola site about opening bootloader yet it breaks the guarantee. I would be occupied with perceiving how far I could get. At this moment I'm still inside 2 week time frame before returning telephone. I have Verizon in light of the fact that my boss gets a rebate. I'm accustomed to establishing my telephone's and VZW is murdering my vibe. Lol. I attempted the Motorola in light of the fact that my G5 had not had any advance yet with establishing.

Moto Z DROID cannot be unlocked.
Moto Z can, this is what Motorola is talking about.
Cant submit links, but on moto site you can unlock moto z.
Found this on moto website, do i understand correctly when unlocked there will be a wipe ?
If unlocked, if you flash it with recovery image it will be locked again ?
No warranty problem than any more ? or perhaps via serialnumber ?
Interresting for dev, nougat preferred
