Hi,
I traded a phone with someone and the rom they had was acting up.. the Infected Rom (cdma verizon)... When I got the phone, I told him he could keep his SD card and I could keep mine.. i guess the P something image file was on there and now Im just rooted with Teamwin recovery and not able to flash any rom or restore the Infected rom i nandroid backed up.
I have fastboot 1.50 S On but unlocked
Now imma be at work and not have a working phone. This isn't cool. PLEASE GET BACK TO ME IF YOU CAN HELP peeps. I would really appreciate it.
I also tried the unlocking method all over again but the Java SDK wont install.. it tells me to disable my virus protection (I did) and then it says unable to install it. This is just a mess man.

If you're interested in reverting back to completely stock, the RUU files are available at http://www.goo-inside.me/shooter/ruu . Both the PG86IMG.zip and the .exe files are available there.
Interesting the device is flashed to verizon, at least you mention the device is on CDMA verizon. The only issues I can forsee here will be 3G data/MMS might not work via Verizon if using a stock Sprint ROM.
Of course, these *might* work and they can also be *tweaked* but I doubt, out of the box, they will work. Phone calls and SMS should work over verizon using the stock sprint ROM.
Here is my usual lecture, reading this will save you a lot of time and headache, regarding flashing a ROM and kernels on the EVO 3D with hboot 1.5 and htc's unlock method:
Essentially, if you're looking to flash a kernel or ROM (which many times also include a kernel), there are three basic methods (two seem the easier) with hboot 1.50 and htc's unlock method:
1) For Kernel Flashing: From Android mode, using my application, Flash Image GUI. Put the kernel .zip file on your sdcard, select from inside the application and flash.
For ROM Flashing: Pull out the kernel file (usually named boot.img) out of the ROM .zip and push to sdcard. Flash using Flash Image GUI.
If you're away from a computer and want to flash any kernel, this is a great tool!
2) Load the custom recovery, NOT using the traditional method (reboot recovery, bootloader -> recovery, etc), but a specific method for Hboot 1.5. From the prompt use: fastboot boot c:\downloads\cwm-recovery.img.
This will temporarily boot the custom recovery image and the HTC unlock method will grant it write access to the boot partition while in this mode.
In this temporarily booted recovery mode, when a full ROM (with kernel included) is flashed, the kernel will flash correctly.
3) Boot into recovery using the traditional methods, reboot recovery, bootloader -> recovery, etc, and after the custom recovery has loaded, flash the ROM. Reboot into fastboot mode and then separately flash the kernel from the computer: fastboot flash boot c:\boot.img.
Downside to this method would be if a zImage is included instead of the boot.img for the kernel, won't flash correctly.
Being without a phone is rough now a days! Hope that helps and points in the right direction!
so sorry.. i meant to say CDMA Sprint.. i probably was so frustrated and typed verizon. I am about to read what you post completly.
Thank you so much for the reply! I purchased the GUI App from the market a few days ago and I wasnt sure if it would work on my phone because that PG86IMG.zip wasn't on the root of my SD card (it's on the other guy's sd card) I will try your method to flash a ROM.
I was able to get the Rom restored from the nandroid backup someone last night.. I still need a new rom because this one has touch screen problems. Thanks again
P768 Bootloader Unlock Guide + Installing Custom Recovery with fastboot + Rooting Stock ROMs via Recovery + Installing Custom ROMs via Recovery
This guide is fairly straight forward, please note; I didn't create most of these steps, I just joined them together from various other threads. This guide assumes you have experience in adb/fastboot commands and offline flashing.
Warning! - Unlocking your bootloader voids your device's warranty. You have been warned.
Make a backup of your data before following this guide!
Required Stuff
P760 V20B or V20C Europe Open KDZ and your choice of P768 V20 Jelly Bean KDZ
KDZ Offline Flashing Tools (see attachments of 1st post)
Fastboot Package (see attachment of 1st post)
ADB + Fastboot Package
CWM 6.0.3.1 Non-Touch
CWM 6.0.3.1 Touch
TWRP 2.5
SuperSU CWM Root Zip
A quick tip for opening a command prompt wherever you currently are in Windows Explorer - Shift + Right Click will add 'Open command window here'. This means you can extract fastboot and adb anywhere on your PC.
Bootloader Unlock
So far, the P768 does not have the ability to unlock the bootloader normally, so to do this, we have to flash P760 software which can unlock the bootloader. Lucky for us P768 users, flashing P760 KDZ doesnt affect our screen like P769 users. It still has problems but we are only using it to unlock - nothing more. Bootloader unlocking is a one time action - Once its unlocked, it stays unlocked if you change KDZ/ROM.
Extra step. If you need to keep all your data before doing this unlock, root with the lelus method and then install the locked bootloader version of CWM and then take a nandroid backup. You can restore it once you have custom recovery at the end of this tutorial. (Thanks to lelus for tip)
Step 1. Flash the P760 V20B/V20C Europe Open KDZ to your phone with the offline flash method. After flashing, you may need to hard reset for the phone to boot.
Step 2. Connect your phone to your PC in LG Software Mode with USB Debugging switched on.
Step 3. Connect your phone to WiFi and make sure you are able to access the internet. Then leave your phone for 30 mins. This makes sure the device is ready to be unlocked.
Step 4. Extract 'ADB_and_Recovery_Images-P768.rar'. Navigate to where 'adb.exe' is stored on your pc and open a command line (Shift + Right Click in Windows Explorer.
Step 5. Check your phone has been recognised by typing 'adb devices'. If your phone is connected, type 'adb reboot oem-unlock'
Step 6. You should have a black screen with white text with a confirmation to unlock the bootloader. Press Volume Up button to unlock the bootloader. Now you will be in LG Fastboot mode.
Step 7. Switch off the phone by holding the power button for 10 seconds. Switch your phone back on.
Step 8. Use Offline flash method to flash back to your desired P768 Jelly Bean version. After flashing, you may need to hard reset for the phone to boot.
Step 9. Once you have P768 Firmware reinstalled, boot and setup your phone.
Installing Custom Recovery with Fastboot
Now our phone doesnt allow us to switch to fastboot mode in the same way that P760 users do. I have found that using lelus's fastboot script, we can switch to fastboot and then send recovery.
Step 1. Extract fastboot.zip and install fastboot drivers by following README instructions.
Step 2. Place chosen recovery into the fastboot directory and rename it to 'recovery.img'
Step 3. After installing drivers, navigate to where 'fastboot.exe' is stored on your pc and open a command line (Shift + Right Click).
Step 4. Minimise the command line you opened, then Open 'start.bat' from extracted fastboot.zip.
Step 5. Select option 1. Switch off your phone, remove the battery and then hit enter. Insert USB cable and then insert battery after 4 seconds.
Step 6. Once you are in fastboot mode, your phone will show a black screen. Switch to the command line opened in step 2. Type 'fastboot devices' to check your device has been recognised.
Step 7. Type 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img' to send the recovery image
Step 8. Reboot by typing ' fastboot reboot'
Extra step. If you took a backup of your data partition at the start. Restore your backup now to regain all data from pre-mod backup.
Rooting with Recovery
Now we have a working Custom Recovery, rooting is easy.
Step 1. Switch to recovery by either using 'adb reboot recovery' or by holding Volume Up + Home when switching on the phone.
Step 2. Install SuperSU by selecting 'Install ZIP from SDCARD' and then choosing 'SuperSU-v1.32.zip'
Step 3. Go to advanced and choose 'Fix Permissions', then Reboot phone.
Step 4. Install 'Busybox' from Play Store and Smart Install busybox to xbin location.
If you took a backup of your data partition at the start. Restore your backup now to regain all data from pre-mod backup.
Now your P768 is free of its shackles and should be able to run custom ROMs. If you are not interested in Custom ROMs, stop reading now....
...We have a customised version of stock ROM, and 2 CM based ROM's which are stable enough for daily use. We also have a PAC-Man ROM and MIUI V5 being developed. We also have a patch to get a few other CM based ROMs to work on our phone, SlimBean and Super Luminal work, ChameleonOS, AvatarRom and PenberRom might work.
Jishnu Sur has made a customised version of the stock ROM which includes little tweaks and extra LG features ported from other LG UI3 phone software - LG G2. Runs great and has aroma installer to select your device during install. - {Jelly Cream V1}
Artit has created a P768 version of CyanogenMod 10.1.3 and 10.2, they work really well and only have the bugs present in the p760 build - no 1080p video recording. 10.1.3 is 4.2.2 and 10.2 is 4.3 {CM10.1.3 Final} {CM10.2}
Artit has created a P768 version of PAC-Man ROM Milestone.1, I haven't tested this one yet. GPS is fixed I believe. {PAC-Man m1}
Artit has created a version of MIUI V5 for all L9's, This is my current daily driver, MIUI is a really nice feeling android experiece.{MIUI V5 Beta 2}
Artit has also created a patch to get CM based ROMs for p760 to work on our p768s. The thread with the information can be found here. Roms to patch SlimBean, SuperLuminaL, Avatar ROM, PenberRom, Chameleon OS.
Installing a custom ROM
Installing custom ROMs is as simple as wiping a couple of directories and flashing the zip file via recovery.
Step 1. Copy the custom ROM zip to your SD card and gapps if needed.
Step 2. Boot into custom recovery by switching on the device holding volume up + home + power buttons or by using a Rebooter app.
Step 3. Take nandroid backup of current ROM.
Step 4. Wipe system, data, cache and dalvik cache directories.
Step 5. Install ROM zip package + gapps if ROM requires them.
Step 6. Reboot and setup phone.
***Step 4 can be changed if you are only upgrading an existing custom ROM. For this, only wipe cache and dalvik cache and then continue the installation.

Im glad its helped, I didnt think the guide was very clear. Im gonna add details so its more friendly to less experienced people
Edit: If people have feedback for this guide, let me know so I can change/update it.
Nice work with the guide. This is probably the only way to unlock the bootloader on our device. I am working on a way to keep fastboot on the phone even after flashing back to the previous version. Will let you know if I can make it work
I think if you use the fastboot program by lelus , but choose option 5 - flash P760 JB xloader and uboot, it may keep the fastboot by lg? I havnt tried that yet. Wrong

It's not quite like that. You most likely have xloader and uboot form jb p760 on your phone. For some reason xloader and uboot from euro p760 doesn't get overwritten when you flash any other kdz. So there is something else that's needed for native fastboot.
this link is dead i think .
"ADB + Recoveries Package"
can u please upload it again ?

Okay, thanks. I'm out of ideas on getting native fastboot. I'm still amazed that your script works - I thought P768 would never get CWM via Fastboot!
The only ideas I could think of would be to compare the source codes of P760 JB and P768 JB. But I dont really know what I would be looking for.

alternatively to unlock the bootloader one with rooted jb stock could
install artas182x recovery
make nandroid backup,
flash &root* p760 euro kdz ,
unlock the bootloader,
then either fastboot or dd cwm recovery ,
restore nandroid backup, and
remove artas182x recover
*optional for dd

Im getting security error when trying to acces cmw. Im trying to install it in V20A_00.kdz from telcel. as soon as i flash the recovery and try to boot into recovery (tried with key combination and through console) the phone enters in security error.
My phone just reboots normally when I type "adb reboot oem-unlock"
I have tried unlocking bootloader on many stock jb roms. I was successful only on v20A Indian for p765. I tried v20C, B, D, wen I pass "adb reboot oem-unlock " phone just reboots. This is cos bootloader is unlockable on those factory roms. This is from my experience correct me if am wrong.

Everything else worked OK, so far.
But now I'm stucked at "Flash recovery" part.

Great work!
Thanks in advance.
- UPDATE -
I've found the files in this chinese forum,
And now it's all working!
Thanks again
Sorry for the delayed response, I haven't paid much attention to the L9 forums since I've had my Nexus 7.
Wow! I'm surprised this guide has made it over to a chinese forum, I hope the translation hasn't caused people to brick their phones!
If people cant access the adb/recoveries package, It only contains a folder with necessary files for adb/fastboot - this can be acquired by using android SDK. The recovery images are taken from the ROM Manager site for the P760. I just made a rar to make the guide a bit easier.
Edit: The P760 V20C KDZ also lets you unlock bootloader, if you cannot find V20B anymore, use V20C instead.
and till no rom for p768 . have a disappointment for lg, too many variants
Worked
This worked for me on LG778 version, I have unlocked bootloader now, had to do an extra step which was flashing the V10A_00 Europe open first.
1) Flashed V10A_00 Europe Open with offline flashing method, then did a factory reset.
2) Flashed V20B_00 Europe Open with offline flashing method.
3) Left the phone connected in LG Software mode with usb debugging, wifi and signal for 20m then run "adb reboot oem-unlock".
It booted in fastboot mode and asked me if I want to unlock the bootloader, then I follow the rest of step of the guide (The firmware I flashed back was Argentina Claro V20A_01)
Will check now if I can get CM10.1 installed

I had unlocked the bootloader of my p768 sometime back by flashing onto a p760 firmware and then i returned back to a nandroid backup of my p768 v20A
With the nandroid restore, I got my old recovery back(the one which is installed by the l9 recovery installer app) and everything normal
I wanted to use the touch recovery which is in this thread.
So i replaced the recovery in my nandroid backup with this one and tried to do an advanced restore of boot.
Now I have a security error.
Isnt the error only locked bootloader specific?
Update--I used the LG flashing application. I had to use the recovery phone option to make it work. It flashed V20A on my phone. When I did the bootloader unlock check in the hidden service menu(3845#*768#) it said "lock"
but now when my phone is in SW Update mode, it says bootloader status:unlocked

Hello there, I own a Moto E, Bought from the Indian supermart, Flipkart. I recently came across an LG G2 that runs on Cyanogen Mode 12. That shows the android version of 5.0.2. I then looked deeper and found that my.moto E can be rooted to the same ( or 12.1) OS alwell. So, I would like to root my device and install the mode. I. Kindly request you to provide me with the steps to safely root the device. I'm a newbie to android development and mods. So, please tell me things in the most basic level.
Thank you.
Shon
Firstly you'll have to note that rooting will void your warranty and you might end up bricking your phone (Though it usually doesn't happen while rooting)
Secondly... you should first search for your question in the forum itself since you're not the first person to encounter the problem...
Okay .. now to the rooting part...
To root your moto e..
You'll first have to unlock your bootloader which would result in deletion of all the data you have in your internal storage so you should backup your data first...
Go to this thread for the entire process of unlocking bootloader: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2753110
Next you'd want to flash a custom recovery. There are many custom recoveries out there.. most popular being cwm and twrp.. You can go for any recovery you like
In most cases.. the process to flash recovery is the same...
1. Download the particular recovery that you want to flash and rename it recovery.img... also note that while downloading... you check that it's for your device only...
2. Put it in the same folder as that of minimal adb and fastboot which i assume you downloaded while unlocking your bootloader
3. Enable USB Debugging in your phone from the Developer's options which can be unlocked by tapping on "Build number" a few times in About phone
4. Connect your phone to your pc with a USB cable
5. Open Minimal adb and fastboot
6. Type the following command 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img' without apostrophes
If it says Ok.. then you have successfully flashed your custom recovery
Now you're finally gonna root your phone...
1. Download SuperSU from here https://download.chainfire.eu/451/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.01.zip (DO NOT UNZIP)
2. Switch off your phone and reboot into bootloader by pressing first volume down.. then power button.. then releasing power button
3. Navigate to recovery by volume buttons and press power button to select
4. Select install or install from sd or something similar depending upon the recovery that you flashed
5. Select the super su zip file that you downloaded in first step
6. Flash it
7. Reboot
That's it.. your moto e is rooted now...
And like i said before... use the search bar before posting a question
(Press Thanks if i helped somewhow )
Firstly, Thank you for your valuable reply. I'd like to know a few more things about the process.. In this case, I'd like to set up cyanogen mode 12 on my XT1022. So after having my device rooted, what do I have to do? Do i have to download the ROM from the official cyanogen website? If so, can you please post a link to that file too?
And about the OS, I'd like to know,
*Will I be able to use both my sim cards? If not which sim card will I lose functionality?
*Will I be able to use Data ie, Edge and HSDPA through my sim card?
*Will I be able to use WiFi and Bluetooth?
*How will I Flash my original ROM back if I need?
Thank you for being patient.

Sorry for the late reply.. I know you probably would've flashed it by now and trying out new different roms as well but i'd still post in case somebody stumbled upon this thread...
Yes you'd have to download the rom from the official cyanogenmod website
https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=condor&type=nightly
After downloading it.... Go into your recovery... Do a factory reset (It will delete all your data so backup your rom before doing so) .. Then install the rom and reboot... First reboot will take a lot of time so no need to worry if it doesn't boot up quickly...
Now to answer your questions...
Yes.. Everything is working fine with cm12 and i haven't really seen any big bugs or anything that would bother you since i myself am using it as a daily driver...
If you made a backup before installing the rom.. All you'd have to do would restore it and you'll go back into the same state with the previous rom installed... And if you didn't.. You'd have to install the stock firmware for which you can take help from this thread

Hello
I have the L22 variant, with TWRP installed and CM12.
Bootloader is unlocked.
I want to upgrade to CM13. It won't flash because I need to upgrade to a marshmallow (MM) bootloader first.
I extracted boot.img from an official MM rom using the update extractor.
Questions:
1. If I flash it, do I need to go again thru the procedure of bootlader unlook? (getting the code from the huawei site)
If so, I'd assume the code I used first will work, for some reason CM12 is now reporting different serial number. Though I saved the original values.
2. If I flash it, will CM12 boot? Or I will need to also flash system.img, which I also extracted.
3. If I flash it, will I loose TWRP? I guess no...
4. What is cust.img for? I am more a Samsung guy, not familiar with that file.
Thanks in advance.
i would restore to latest stock rom available and install from there to be safe, careful when wiping boot.img
Thank you...
Here is how I fixed, and put some answers if helpful for anyone else in the future.
1. Bootloader and Boot are different. During the startup process the bootloader calls either boot for a normal startup or call recovery.
Messing with boot won't touch the bootloader or the recovery areas.
2. I did not flash boot at the end, I used the ResurrectionMix which already comes with its own boot image. It took me to Marshmallow (MM).
In theory, this boot image will support any other MM ROM. I did not try because I ended up liking it.
3. As explained in (1). Flashing boot wont touch recovery
4. I haven't found an answer to this one. Anyway, I did not touch it.
Cheers.
boot only contains kernel and ramdisk , recovery its a separate paritition alternative to boot, at startup depending on what is pressed bootloader either calls boot partition or recovery parition or fastboot
