Unlocked MetroPCS LG L9 won't recognise any SIM - LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769

Hi! Well, I'm trying to "revive" this L9-P769, it wont recognise any SIM, its unlocked, I went into the menu to put the unlock code and everything says "Phone not personalized", I've even installed a T-Mobile kdz, nothing, just won't recognise any SIM, I did a hard reset too. Any help is appreciated.
More info:
1.-The phone just says "No SIM card".
2.-In the " Network" section of "About phone" says "Searching for service", signal strength "0 dBm 0 asu" and mobile network type "Unknown".
3.-The phone "has" signal bars.
3.-Baseband is: "L6260_MODEM_SIC_01.1305.00".
EDIT: I've just noticed the phone has 4 pins for the SIM, instead of the 3 the other ones here have, that's kinda weird (I would post a Photo with a comparison but I can't post images yet, but I hope you guys understand that)

See my post in UltraROM thread. As a last resort, try the emergency recovery option in the LG Tool, which will install the latest stock ROM.
When you say unlocked, do you mean BL, or NAM?

Radio/SIM works fine on p769 ROMs. I need proper radio firmware blobs for a p760 ROM, though. Also, I don't know if V20C can be unlocked.

I'm confused. Your OP says SIM not recognized, and now you say it works fine on p769 ROMs. Details...
There's a KDZ extract tool floating around, extract any needed BINs directly.
I'm unsure if V20C can be unlocked, never tried. I'll see what I can do about finding a download link for V20B.

Under a p769 ROM, everything works
Under a p760 ROM, I have no SIM.
I flashed the Radio.zip provided in the unlock thread, and it did nothing.

So if you now put a 769 ROM on it, the SIM card is once again recognized?

NAM, already tried flashing with LG Tool, I'll just give up, I can't find anything and that means its possibly a hardware problem.

Won't connect to network

I got an Optimus One from a friend. I flashed CyanogenMod on it and Im not sure if I did it correctly. I dont know much about it. This is the file I used:
update-cm-7.2.0-RC1-p500-signed.zip
Everything seems to be working fine except I cant connect to any network. I am trying to unlock my phone (its locked to KOODO right now) and I enter the "2945#*500#" code in it says "Mobile Network Not Available"
If I manually try to choose any network in the settings it just says unable to connect to network, please try again later.
Are my settings just wrong, or maybe I forgot to install something when I flashed it?
Are you on the wrong baseband?

U got new baseband?
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda premium
I have no idea if Im on the right baseband. I really dont know what it means other then it has something to do with the networks.
When I go to about Phone and Baseband version it doesnt really say anything. Im sure it said something different before when I looked at it the other day. Right now it says:
Baseband version
$n(Backwards R)(box)(box)(box)(chinese symbol?)(box)
So that has got to be the issue. How do I fix it tho? flash a different rom? I do want to try something different. I find the phone is usually really slow after I wake it up and unlock it.
Basebands!

So I did this and it installed the zip just fine. A few differences now:
In lock screen it now says "NO SERVICE"
About Phone > Baseband Version > "UNKNOWN"
Mobile Network Settings > Network Operators >
"ERROR WHILE SEARCHING FOR NETWORKS"
Before it found the networks, just couldnt connect to them.
After fooling around with it more I got a baseband version in there. Here is my info:
BASEBAND: LGP500AT-00-V20g-OPEN-COM-JUN-14-2011+0
Android Version: 2.3.7
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.10-cyanogenmod [email protected]))
Mod Version: CyanogenMod-7-20120527-NIGHTLY-p500
Is this the right Baseband? SHould I just try a differnet mod?
It now sees the networks again, but has the connection error like before.
BTW The icon at the top that is a sim card with an exclamation mark on it. What does that mean? Its always been there but I didnt know what it meant. Does it mean that the phone is locked and the sim is incompatable, or does it mean that there is no sim in the phone?
Try to reinsert your sim card if problem not solved then proceed to next
First you need to unlock your sim. To unlock sim first flash stock firmware using kdz updater, follow this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1060121
Download stock firmware from here(select any v20 version) http://lg-phone-firmware.com/firmware-Lg+Optimus+One-Tutti-4.html
After flashing firmware do a factory reset(settings -->privacy settings -->factory data reset)
After factory reset type 2945#*500# then type unlock code
After unlocking flash any rom of your choice

Yes it is locked. Thats how I figured out somthing was wrong in the first place. I was trying to unlock it (entered 2945#*500#) and it said "Mobile Network Not Available"
I didnt realize that it had to be unlocked in stock firmware to work. That might have been the problem all along then.

I used KDZ_FW_UPD.exe to flash it, Waited until it said finished and now I'm semibricked. Stuck at the android boot screen. Ive tried it 3 times and I can never get past that screen.
I attached the log
EDIT
After rebooting numerous times, and waiting and waiting.. I figured out none of that will do anything. Gotta press three button combo for HW reset of device (volume up + home + power button)
Its all fixed now.
Thanks guys everything works now. My phone is now unlocked.
Any suggestions what custom rom I should flash?
Should I Stick with CM7?

Stuck at LG Setup Wizard

For some reason my Rooted P769BK got stuck at the splash screen and wouldn't move pass the T-Mobile Android logo. I figured I should hold down the volume down and restart to see if it can go to stock recovery. Little did I know, it seems to have done some kind of Factory Reset.
Now it seems to be stuck. I was able to check my apps through the Settings Menu and found that I didn't move or delete the LG Setup Wizard apk or odex. I just moved all the other T-Mobile bloatware to my SD card.
I have been looking around and even tried to run the KDZ for 10G, but the app force closes on my Windows 7 machine right after it unpacks 10G.
I'm using the T-Mobile USA L9 on V10E. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi, I had the same problem with KDZ on Windows 7 (Ultimate 64bit), when I run flash it falled down. Then I flashed KDZ with virtual Windows XP. Program for virtual PC is VMware workstation, here you create new virtual PC and install system which you want I hope that it will help you
Thanks for the insight. I'll give that a shot when I get home tonight. Any suggestions on how to keep 10E instead of upgrading to 10G?

the 10 e dl link
the link for the v10e file is both horrendously slow, and links to a zip which does not contain a kdz file!!! Unless theres a way to turn that file into a kdz file it should not be counted as one.
Now that you mentioned that. It seems to look like the source code that I ran into yesterday. Still waiting on the download.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda app-developers app
I didn't know that it's only source code, I thoght that in ZIP is KDZ file. Now I'm trying to download it, really speed is very slow
I found on google this page http://code.google.com/p/arenoid/wiki/KDZExtractPack it's about extracting KDZ and generating new, maybe it will works.
If it works it's maybe way how to make rooted new firmwares.
Now I downloaded that ZIP, and inside are BIN and FLS file, I don't know what is FLS, but BIN you could flash..I found this..try it

Now reply to your issue!
If everything fails, you may just give a try to LG PC Suite.
Whatever the issue is, for any device any firmware there is an option called "EMERGENCY FIRMWARE RECOVERY" in menu of "LG PC SUITE" I did this recovery once when my phone got bootloops and thoough its semi-bricked. But you should be able to bring phone in SW Upgrade Mode. It seems does not do check current ROM at all and FLASHES a fresh latest ROM downloading from LG Server, applicable for your specific phone.
EDIT: Wanna attach screenshot but cannot because XDA is showing overcapacity.
Thanks for the reminder.
Anyways, I figured it out. The phone did reset itself somehow. But, I'm not stuck at the Setup Wizard anymore.

Bump... Did we ever figure out how to flash the BIN and FLS files to the phone? This is V10E, and IS rootable with Bin4ry method. AND according to other rumors, bootloader unlock via oem-unlock should also work.
Or how to recompile these files back into the KDZ would work also.... I also have the DLL file for this as well

(Guide) Unlock Bootloader First Try (P769)

Ok so a spark bursted in my head at 2 in the morning of an idea and it has worked so im noticed that alot of people struggle to unlock the bootloader but not because the steps are hard but there is one missing part i have found which is it needs to have a signal connection to you provider for it to work and the thing is when you flash V20B the radio is different so it sometimes might get the signal but that is like what 1/100 or something like that haha ok back on track my idea was what if i install the radio for the P769 which was extracted for the workaround that we had for the JB manual install via CWM on V20B and we would a working radio so the bootloader would unlock on first try and i tried it and it worked muahahaha ok so what to do
Well before you go flash V20B to make everything easier make sure this app is already installed on your phone
Artas Bootstrap Recovery Installer and make sure you have the radio zip on your sd card
Then make sure you have debuging on and show touches on also so everything is easier
Now flashing set up first go download the JB guide its in the root l9 offline method and download the bin for V20B ok so now flashing run the rootl9 bat file but for JB then start the flashing process and were going to swap the bin then after swapping let it do its thing
ok after it finishes go to supersu install the binary and after that go to artas bootstrap recovery and install it then boot to the recovery after in recovery flash the radio zip and let it install it takes a while maybe a min to 2 minutes and after it installed reboot and then you should see you have signal hoorah , now just let it sit for 30-40 minutes then after the time is up run the command "adb reboot oem-unlock" from your computer and it should take you to the acept to unlock it and just press volume up and tada you have unlocked bootloader on first try
Sorry For No Links but in a Hurrry Good luck

Ok, I hate being hand held, but I have a question. Fm my understanding these are the steps I should be doing to unlock BL and Rooting the Sweet LG L9 P769 below:
1. First flash the V20B_00.KDZ Process.
2. Next Unlock the BL
3. Then Root the device Process.
4. Install recovery cwm, and the RC5.
Please let me know it this is correct, and add anything that i should lookout for.
When I start this process I'll make sure to take Note to write a first grader process.
I love this device for the price i pay for it, and i love a challenge.
My future device will be a LG optimus G Pro, but until then I need to get the LG L9 P769 hacked.

I may be wrong but you're probably going to have to restore your previous EFS. A couple months ago, after using the flash tool, that happened to me but luckily I found a way to do it, but I completely forgot how.

Hi Guys,
I was able to successfully restore to stock without any issue, I had to do a restore using a different method, I was getting an Factory Reset Status 2.
I had to Downgrade BL and i could restore and I had to replace 2 files from another thread. and I was able to successfully get my Device working, I was even able to swith to GSM network. Thanks to all the Xda members who are so knoweledgeable.:laugh:
Any chance you could provide more details about exactly what you did, and a link to that other thread? It could help someone else.

Ill be posting links soon

need modem of a unlocked h901

so i've tried everything to unlock this v10 and so far no go.I need an unlocked phone modem to compare to a locked one and see exactly causing the lock or if i can just flash an unlocked and it will work?
Also can't flash modem of any other variant or else you will be bricked for good.
so i tried flashing system and boot partitions of a lot of different variants to try and get unlock prompt to pop up.
H900(at&t) no boot
H900PR(brazil ver) same thing as at&t no boot at all
H960TR(turkey) hangs on boot animation
H960 (vietnamese ver) same thing as with 960tr hangs boot animation
F600k(boots perfectly, but no sim unlock menu)
F600L(again boots perfectly but no sim unlock menu)
Starting to notice anything? similar model names have similar behaviors ex. h900 and h900pr show exact same boot fault
So, the only possible way is the modem!
can someone with a unlocked t mobile modem please upload theirs. i'm going to flash the unlocked modem and use the f600k system so no tmobile bull**** can lock it again.I really think this could work as long as no stock tmobile rom is installed.I would really really appreciate it as im stuck with this phone rn.
ALSO , here is how to easily get modem partition if you have root.Download "partitions backup and restore" in playstore by wanam
check firmwire/modem in green and backup and that's it! tested myself and works.
So please if you have a unlocked tmobile v10 and are rooted it would very helpful if you could take a few mins to backup modem and upload it.
ok as an incentive im adding a 10$ bounty through paypal.i need the following 5 modem partitions backup using flashfire.
Modem firmware aka modem
Modem firmware data #1 aka modemst1
Modem firmware data #2 aka modem st2
Modem firmware FSG aka fsg
Modem firmware SSD asa ssd
Download flashfire by chainfire from playstore and backup the above partitions and upload them.i've backed up these partitions my self on my v10 so yes it works.I only put a bounty because this device barely has any dev half of these v10 are dead lol also im patient from trying to unlock this thing ffs.First one with the CORRECT partitions i will reach out via pm.
Quick 10$ takes no more than 10 min!!
Backing it up right now as I type this. Whats the best way for me to upload this for you?

EDIT: here is the link, backed up via Flashfire and then zipped up, no password. My phone is currently running stock rooted Eliminator ROM (software version H90120L) https://www.dropbox.com/s/a3l518nse4vkj4q/LGv10Modem.zip?dl=0

The device is bootloader unlocked, I have the T-Mobile version of the device. Will try again for you. You don't need the other zipped file?
No need for the PayPal. I'm glad to help out when I can

Not sure if I did that or not. The phone is paid off so I would assume I can put it on another network. I've moved on to the newer model v20.
Question, why would the modem firmware change whether it's unlocked or not? Wouldn't that be done via firmware update?

Nope.tmobile has locked these down using the device unlock app.if you never used it on another network other than tmo then its most likely not network unlocked.even if its paid off, you have to contact tmo to request a permanent unlock.once they give you the green light for the unlock then you just use the device unlock app that comes on the tmo phone and hit permanent unlock. modem files hold the unlock info in this case.as i said above ive tried roms from even the international variant only to be greeted by the network locked notification.im sure theres at least one person with a network unlocked tmo v10 lurking around these fourms lol.again i appreciate you taking your time to help!
I will look into getting it unlocked. No big deal for me to do so since i don't use the phone anymore

Here you go my friend, V3 is device unlocked. Used the T-Mobile app Device Unlock. Went through the process. Phone rebooted and a toast notification popped up saying phone permanently unlocked. I suppose you can compare both V2 and V3 to see what changed?

Well, i just gave up.i tried everything, this phone is just locked down tight.The phone would not flash the modem.bin at all through fastboot or flashfire since it is a locked partition.I managed to flash the modem firmwire 1 and 2 since they are not locked partitions through flashfire.Phone still not unlocked, so i tried flashing http://lgviet.com/forum/threads/rom-radeonmaya-t-mobile-h901-v4-0-update-19-11-2016.58894/ rom and it has a working sim unlock menu but it says phone cannot be unlocked or something.so i flashed the modem firmwires again and run the sim unlock app and it prompts me for a code! I had my unlock code from ebay and entered it and it said network unlock successful and the phone rebooted itself.But after rebooting it still showed network locked.i think it needs to be on stock rom.i tried porting the sim unlock menu to stock but it doesnt even open.i just gave up on this phone, i just use it like an ipod lol.we have unlocked modem files though i cant find a way to flash it.it just might be what we need.flashfire wont flash protected partitions (modem is protected) and also fastboot keeps through an error when trying to flash anything.the only way to flash the unlocked modem bin is with LGUP.ive managed to extract stock kdz and replace the modem.bin with the unlocked one but i dont know how to convert it back to a kdz or tot so we can flash the modified kdz.also maybe 7.0 has some modem changes? Or i might just try flash modem of korean variant though i would be just testing my luck as it will result 99% a hard brick. 4 ways to do possibly unlock this
Port sim unlock menu to stock rom 99% chance your phone will unlock
Flash modified modem.bin somehow through lgup or lg flashtool.good chance this will work as well
Wait and see if you can expliot something in nougat .if were lucky this might have something.
Sending AP commands through Modem.i tried this myself.it seems you can only communicate with modem with the korean or tizen rom.you can send the command AP%ULCW.
UlCW=unlock code write.so you can write the unlock code through direct comm with modem via usb but i dont know the correct format to enter the code as it keeps throwing an error.
Still thanks to @amoot329 for coming in clutch with the files.when nougat comes out i'll try messing with it again but honestly this phone is useless lol.

thank you very much.
please if you can help me resolve the issue
the attachment is what i am getting after installing the F600L30e
my phone is probably refurbished as it was showing t-mobile and the stickers on the body are also tmobile but it works with F600L software only. LG bridge incorrectly identified it as H901 and tried to update with MM and that is when it got bricked and i revived it from 9008
please help
