I haven't tried this yet, but would I be able to just reboot to fastboot and flash recovery with the Ubuntu ARM7 recovery image and then install Ubuntu Touch ARM7?
It is after all officially supported on various Nexus devices and I believe two of those have close to the same hardware as this P769.

Hi ..
if somebody would like to try the latest touch recovery from 4pda ..
Link to original 4pda thread
It´s same package as above with modified recovery.img. CMW Touch Version 6.0.3.0
Works for me without any issue.
*Keep in mind that you do ervery change at own risk
I flashed bootloader from this package and then recovery from ROM Manager. It works like a charm.
Would someone mind running the terminal command and sending me the file it creates dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 of=/sdcard/L7p5.img ? I got a different device that is very closely related and after looking though the bootloader flash file unlocking your bootloader has something to do with partition 5. I just got to figure out which one of my partitions is the same as your partition 5. We have the same boot partition and also almost the same recovery your recovery is in p17 and mine is in p14.
has anyone tried this on jelly bean?
Which CWM that support create rom zip from cwm flash menu?
Should I try this on my LG Optimus L9 P769 running stock 20F Jelly Bean 4.1.2 firmware? I'm getting desperate for a unlock method that does not involve me flashing a kdz of a P760 causing mirroring of the touch screen.
Would this brick my device beyond any kind of recovery to stock?

i am not a mac user so I have not tried this
... as for installing a custom recovery & roms I am still having trouble with that
Hi Everyone,
So i tried a installing the latest version of Xposed x86 and got my Dell 7840 bricked.
It's running the latest 5.1 OS (Nov 2015 update), but is NOT OEM unlocked ( I can't for the hell of me figure out how it is bootloader locked and rooted! ).
It does not have custom recovery, only stock recovery so i can only do ADB sideload but not update from zip?
I can get to the fastboot menu, but i can't do the tethered recovery as everything failed due to locked bootloader.
i can't unlock the bootloader via fastboot as i can't boot to the OS due to stuck at the Intel inside bootscreen.
When i goto the covery mode. i see "Venue 8 7840-user 5.1 LMY47I BBP803A173600DEL release-keys"
I tried to use the Intel Platform flash tools to flash DD0_BB.xml as per some unbricking guide, but this seems to only work if you are in the OS and not in the fastboot mode.
Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
i managed to get the flash to work and got into tethered CWM and flashed a brand new system, all is well, thanks!

I have the same problem, you were facing, except I cant even get into recovery....
Do you remember how you solved it?
Hey,
download bootloader and firmware (e.g. https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B0hcxOtcOlhLdTJzbDhiNFhfTEk&export=download) and flash 5.0.1 fastboot.
Then use FBRL to reinstall the system.
I don't know if anyone will respond. I successfully unlocked bootloader via tool and flashed TWRP 2.8+
But I think the problem is that I didn't know which JB bootloader I was using and just tried to flash via instructions from KatKiss 5.1.1 v30 because I've been flashing since Nexus one days and thought it would be the same (I'm stupid). Anyway I somehow managed to flash a different ROM but now stuck on a boot loop and obviously can't get access to Asus stock OS. KatshMallow 6.0.1 still loaded on the tablet with gapps but that won't boot up either.
I tried to adb sideload CM12.1 but it failed. Anyone know how I can get any stable ROM up and running with just using TWRP or adb sideload?
Thanks in advance
When it's starts up can you see which bootloader you're on now?

Please Help
So I am a total noob. Never rooted a device before. The only reason I'm doing it is cos my kid wants to do gps spoofing with pokemon go. I have already made a mistake as I have unlocked the bootloader without backing up the DRM keys. Now Im tyring to install twrp. On most tutorials it looks straight forward but on the TWRP official site it says....
The Xperia devices have a recovery-in-boot arrangement. This means that the recovery is booted using the regular kernel / boot image in the device. Team Win has worked with the FreeXperia device maintainers to come up with a way to extract the ramdisk from the FOTAKernel partition and use the ramdisk from that partition instead of the recovery that is included in the boot image of your device. This means that if you install current CM nightlies and flash TWRP to the FOTAKernel partition, you will be able to use TWRP instead of the CWM or CM recovery that normally comes in a CM boot image. Other boot images including stock kernels can be repacked to include this extraction utility to allow you to use TWRP from the FOTAKernel partition. This setup allows you to choose what recovery you want to have installed and allows you to update your recovery more easily. Unfortunately this setup requires that the boot image that you have installed include the ramdisk extraction utility. The source for this utility is here:
I really don't know what any of this means. Ive downloaded the utility but have no idea how to use it.
Oh and I also have a xperia z3 tablet sgp611.
