Search This thread
Is there anyone out there that can help the members of the LG Optimus L5 II unlock there bootloader?

here is our phone on GSM

http://www.gsmarena.com/lg_optimus_l5_ii_e460-5293.php

the device is mt6575

the device is locked by LG.

As far as i understand the uboot partition is where the security check is comming from.

I cannot use spflash tool as it does not see my device.

so my question is this.

the LG optimus L3 II have managed to unlock there bootloader using an aboot img fro the LG optimus L5

could we replace our uboot img with the L3 II aboot img?

alternatively could we use a uboot img from another mt6575 device

my partition table is as follows

Code:

Ofcourse SPFlash can see the device - use COM port mode instead of USB, and You should put the phone in BL mode + installed LG United mobile driver etc. I have all the partitions in IMG files from my E440 - L4II, even if you make a dump of the uboot partition i think its not possible to remove the security, the cause: it is a binary, to do so, you need the source code of the bootloader... Or at least that's what I think it is... I may be wrong for the last one. Now about using uboot from another device: NO, never. uboot does a lot of the initialization of the system's hardware: RIL, Radio chips, LCD, keys, cameras, self-tests and so on, since the motherboards in different phones are different, the configuration of the bootloader is supposed to be, too.
