I am running JB 20h currently, what if I downgraded or flashed a rom can I unlock the bootloader then? My fone is August 2013 build

The unlocking process requires flashing older kdz files. However it most likely wont work with the p769. Like I said earlier, if you have a bunch of free time...

I don't get it either. I gave up on the L9, tho I still have it as a backup phone, and moved on to the L90 even tho I swore I wouldn't buy another LG device after the issues with the L9. It may be that with all the questions about the bootloader on the L9 that LG and T-Mobile decided to leave the bootloader alone, on the US variant (D415) of the L90.

What I don't understand is why they want so much control over the devices they sell, especially the pre-paid market. My L9 cost me $200 out right because I don't do contract service plans. I should have full rights to the device. No different than a computer. I can understand in the short term for contract service, but for pre-paid service??

Rant over... for now! Lol

i think i may have found something that can help us

To break disk encryption, the bootloader must be unlocked before the attack because scrambled user partitions are wiped during unlocking. However, we show that cold boot attacks are more generic and allow to retrieve sensitive information, such as contact lists, visited web sites, and photos, directly from RAM, even though the bootloader is locked.

I mean anything's possible. At this point it's either brute-force or something like this.

I'm not sure if there's much interest in pursing that though, that's a bunch of work it seems

I hate this phone... I don't have T-mobile service so I can't even do the 30 minute wait thing. smdh

Does this method work for P765?

 

[BlueKnightedDragon]

It should but you don't need to worry about a touch screen fix or smoky touch screen cause the p760 and p765 are identical. You only need to flash the p760 20b kdz and then run the unlock command

Need to Update my LG Optimus L9 P769 to at least Kitkat 4.4

I've read that if your LG Optimus L9 P769 was made after June(?) 2013 then you will not be able to unlock your bootloader, however mine was made in 2012. My question is will this method work for me? As stated in the title I need to update my OS past Jellybean 4.1.2.

Another question I have is will I be able to do this process on Windows 7? I watched the video and saw that he chose to change the compatibility of a program to Windows XP (I think..).

Also, does anyone know how to backup nearly everything on my phone so when I do install a custom ROM for Kitkat 4.4 I can just recover everything (contacts, messages, pictures, videos, etc....everything basically )?

And lastly, is there a trusted and stable ROM for Kitkat 4.4?

I've read that for some reason the phone thinks its at 1% battery instead of 100%. Try draining the battery to 80-90% and try again.

There is not supposed to be a hyphen '-' between ADB and REBOOT
