Has anybody tried flashing firmware's from different variant's of Optimus L9
the reason I am saying this is p760 will be unlocked in the next OTA update.
yes you heard it right p760's bootloader will be unlocked in the next update.
So I was thinking if p760's firmware is compatible with p765 or not ????
I think it would be worth to try flashing firmware of p760 on p765 !
they both are identical and the only difference between these phones is gorilla glass. IMO
I know it would be very risky. but it would be worth the risk.
It would be nice if two or more people could confirm that p760 firmware works on p765.

FLASHED P760V10G EUROPE on my Indian P765 with my usual Offline FOTA Flash method, flashed easily and smoothly. Obviously ROOT WAS LOST.
In first hour the phone is functioning great. Saw some improvements.
1) Noticeable more responsive screen
2) Faster and Smoother than before.
3) Data and Apps were not lost (after this Offline FOTA) so checked all options and apps, were seen working fine.
3) The most important thing is Outstanding Full Network. Was having 2/3 bars inside my home, now it FULLLLLLLLL
Though No Root and device is showing as "P760" in phone information (who cares), will use for 2/3 days for testing and will share some more finding. cya

Based on the confirmations should we think P760 firmware is indeed compatible with P765 !?
what do you guys think? Is it safe to flash P760 rom on P765 or not.

MG is unlocking the bootloader? Would you please share the source of the information you just gave?
You need to compare the two phones to the bone to see if there is any difference
go ahead then do it. you will brick your phone

Yeah you right, if we could somehow compare all the variants of L9 and make comparison/compatible chart for the ROMS that would be really helpful for the L9 community.
I wonder if there is way to try find whether the rom is compatible or not, something like RUN/debug the ROM on the device without flashing it. I wonder if it is possible to that.

It will not brick, I think it is quite possible , L9 is unbrickable as long as we have uboot omap4boot

OMG, you are really brave. I think you are the first person to try that. Are you sure all hardware and features working well. I will also give an immediate try.
Actually I do guinea pig myself and my L9 always, but this time just want to re-confirm for some more confidence.
The difference between p765 and p760 I think just in the NFC feature (cmiiw). I installed the firmware 10A Baltics only for downgrade from firmware 10C Indonesia. Since I can not downgrade to 10B Indonesia for the purpose of rooting, so I try to use p760 firmware 10A Baltics. And it worked. I am not really sure if "all" hardware and features working well since i use it only for couple of hours but phone, texting, data, wifi and tried some important setting were working fine.

Thats great! I am proud to see one more guinea pig like me. I recently tried using SmartFlash on L9 with some trial and error, which failed, but L9 not bricked.
Was holiday 2/3 days in India, phone was not seriously required and got some spare time, so just out of curiosity, FLASHED P760V10G EUROPE on my Indian P765 with my usual Offline FOTA Flash method, flashed easily and smoothly. Obviously ROOT WAS LOST.

wow, glad to hear it, data and apps will always be there after you update the fw using that method
My 765 running v10C screen is not so responsive, think I'll give 10G a try :laugh:
Btw, 765 is flashable with 760 version and it works. I tried Europe version.
I've tested the stability etc etc
The only not working is the NFC and camera.
Dunno if the others have camera problem too like me, but it can be solved by using 3rd party camera apps like camera360 :good:
Now, I'm downloading the 10G and gonna give it a shoot on my 765 :fingers-crossed:

CAMERA WORKING PERFECT, else I would have mentioned it. After your post again tested 5MP photos and 1080p Video, all perfect and superbly smooth video and photos. You may hard-reset and try flashing. If works on my P765, should work on your P765 too.

After 3 months. ie. on 13-3-2013
As spokesperson from LG promised, LG has finally released Jelly bean update for Optimus L9 with unlocked bootloader. Hip hip hurray... :victory:
here is the original post:
I recently contacted LG regarding unlocking of bootloader of LG Optimus L9
They told that Optimus L9 p760 EU will be unlocked via next OTA.
But they’re not sure about the other variants because operator’s decision hasn’t been made yet.
I think this would greatly help the developers owning P760 EU.
I just hope it helps other variant's of Optimus L9 aswell and just hope there's is not much different between other variants hardware wise.
Specially p765 which is almost identical twin in terms of specs.
Here’s the original reply from LG spokesperson:
Dear DavinderSingh
Thank you foryour interest about our mobile phone.“We received your request on LG Open Source Code Distribution site (http://opensource.lge.com).This site isjust for providing source codes of FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) we haveused in our product.”
P760 EU Open will beunlocked on next version update.We estimatethat you can receive the version during the first quarter of this year.But we arenot sure that the other models because operator’s decision hasn’t made yet
We hope thisinformation will help you.Thank you.
Sincerelyyours,

Wait wait wait. Dont jump too high. Its LG pals.
When they say next version update, they really must be meaning "next version update", but they have not told exactly when. So just wait until it really comes.
They said LG Optimus 2x will be given ICS in August 2011 (was printed on box too) then they said 2012Q1, then said 2012Q2 (facebook lg italy) but finally they released it in Dec 2012.
I hope this is not the same kind of TROLLING with us. lol I am not being so negative, but its really hard to believe this company.
EDIT: BTW, Mr. Davinder Singh, how did you get P760 in India? Officially LG L9 released P765 in India, its on website too. Nothing about P760 on indian section of LG.
@cmahendra sir i have LG optimus L9 p765 asian version same as your.
Re: Good News! For LG Optimus L9 p760, Its Bootloader will be unlocked via OTA update
I wish someone would pull their boot.img and recovery.img from the other variants so I could compare them to see if one variant that has an unlocked boot loader would be a universal fix for the entire L9 range.

Pull boot.img and recovery.img from which version? Can't you do that?
I saved this procedure long time back, but its FOR LINUX ONLY from Galaxy Ace thread. Not for windows user like me.
Download this: http://www.mediafire.com/?zdw766gu35o0fb6 to follow readme.txt that is included. (It's for Linux)
---------------------------
Europe have only V10A for P765, this also means next update will be most probably V10B. I think all experts should check V10B from all countries, may be they are unlocked too.
I had asked LG guy info on bootloader unlock for all the variants L9 , The Lg guy only told me about p760 eu.*
I guess angryGTS wants to compare all the boot.img,recovery.img but he only has his own boot.img/recovery.img.
Lets make a table of Features/Differences and ROM compatibility chart for Lg optimus L9 variants.
Re: Good News! For LG Optimus L9 p760, Its Bootloader will be unlocked via OTA update
Right. I only have the P769BK. I would like to compare the other variants mount ponts, boot, etc to see if they are all equal on that aspect so we could possibly get a universal bootloader if they arent already the same.

Bootloader is very important part of Android and it is made proprietory by each manufacturere. If bootloader of P760 is working on P765 without issue then probably at least these two L9 variants have matching bootloader. I may be wrong. Tell me.
PS: By the way V10G is officially released for P760.
Re: Good News! For LG Optimus L9 p760, Its Bootloader will be unlocked via OTA update
You are absolutely correct but since these are the same phones in essence minus some small difference like smaller screen and lack of NFC for the P769 and a couple other minor differences in hardware that shouldnt effect the way the phone boots or the mount points for recovery etc. Thats why i wish someone with the other variants would either pull the boot and recovery or at least post the mounting points like on the thread for the P769 in the Development section. (If what i typed made any sense lol)

Now we know that P760 KDZ is working fine on P765, this means both bootloaders are same or bootloader of P760 works perfect on P765.
This also means if we have UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER for V760 (europe), it will also be used as unlocked bootloader for P765 Roms. Wild guesses, though, but please tell me if this is wrong.

On device you must use dd utility from console or ADB:
dd if=/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/recovery of=/sdcard/recovery.img bs=4096
dd if=/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/boot of=/sdcard/boot.img bs=4096
That's all, in /sdcard you have two files... Don't know if dd present in stock firmware, but with busybox it's definitely works.
With .KDZ a bit harder...
By the first you must extract .KDZ file - LG-P970 ROM COVERTER 2.1.exe, what I found on this site, works just great (there an other utils, but this best, thanks for it's author). This utility converts .KDZ in to two files: LGP765_V10E_00_AP.bin and LGP765_V10E_00_CP.fls (in my case).
LGP765_V10E_00_AP.bin - that's unpacked firmware.
Now you should grab some HEX editor and get recovery and boot images from .bin file (I used xvi32). Find "ANDROID!" strings (case sensitive!).
The first occurrence will be something like this "boot linux from emmc: mmc failed to read bootimg header ANDROID! boot linux from emmc: bad boot image magic", search next. After you find this string, just after "ANDROID!" you have structure, described in bootimg.h header (http://www.netmite.com/android/mydroid/cupcake/system/core/mkbootimg/bootimg.h). You must get size from there and cut .img file with this size from .bin
Then you must use split_bootimg.pl perl utility to extract files from .img images. In windows you must have perl installed or use CygWin. I have Linux notebook, so I used Linux on this step, because it's simpler and faster...
Sorry for my english, I'm not used to write such manuals

Hi
I want to buy a p760 but all i can find was p768s.
so, is there any way to get p760 roms working on p768?
p760 & p768 only differ in camera , p768 has a 8 megapixel.
please, replay as fastest as you can
No one?
People have tried flashing p760 kdz or rom on p768, since p768 has 8mp and p760 5mp its possible that ur camera might not work properly.

Are camera files/libs related to the kernel? I mean which part do I have to modify in order to get the camera working again?

No one seems to show any interest in fixing the camera problem on p768.:crying:
I think it's more about not having the phone. it seems a lot of the people who could possibly do it, they don't have the 768 so they don't have a need to do it.

Just wondering what roms have worked successfully on the RS988, as well as Kernels. I've not seen any evidence of any compatibility, but I'm not sure I want to risk it without confirming that first. Thanks for any and all replies.
To the best of my knowledge... none.

Yeah currently there ate no ROMs or kennels for any other devices except h830 (t mobile) and h850 (unlocked European version). This is due to the fact that those were the only devices that could be boot loader unlocked. Now if this new method is working for you guys on other devices and you have working twrp for your devices that actually flash files then the devs building ROMs for the two currently supported should be able to include the other devices but do NOT flash any roms for any other device to yours. Kindly ask the devs (like @King_lilrowrow or @gwolfu) if they could support your devices. I don't currently fully know if this is possible as I'm not sure you guys can flash files via twrp successfully yet, you would have to ask a dev. If unable to flash files you may need twrp updated for each device (kernel specific stuff), but again not sure as I'm not a developer. Hopefully this heels and hopefully you guys get a chance to enjoy custom ROMs like I have. I know I couldn't deal without, I'm a flashaholic. I actually returned my RS988 for a h830.

If other G5's have BL unlocked and a working build of TWRP then it will be easy for me to add support to my CM14.1 (LineageOS) builds.
The TWRP version targeting 20a/b isn't 100% needed but avoids issues with TZ assertion.
The only device I'm aware of thats close to an unlock method (via someone I know) is the H840 (LG G5 SE)
When any other G5 model is supported you'll see it on our GitHub site: https://www.github.com/ConquestTeam/

Yeah from what I read in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g5/how-to/guide-adb-root-rw-dm-verity-off-sprint-t3523499 it appears that this method allowed them to flash twrp, although not sure if it's working 100% (I know they're having issues flashing SuperSU). Not sure if it's also unlocking the boot loader or not or of it simply bypasses the boot loader unlocking issues like old exploits on g2, g3 and g4. But as I said before I'm on h830 so not sure about this method and what exactly it's doing. But it appears to replace recovery with twrp. Also it appears to only be disabling DM verity and mounting system as rw via adb, not sure if it's allowing you to do this via twrp or not. Again if not, I'm assuming that you may need a new twrp built based on the modified kernel and boot image this method flashes. If that's they case maybe someone can goto twrp thread and ask support to be added specifically for these other versions, don't know.

Since RS988 is now bootloader unlockable, do you have any plans to support this device?
I appreciate your work!!

At this time my focus is bringing up the G6 as well as a few other projects I'm working on.
I may look into supporting the RS988 and H840 shortly.

Sorry to bug, but did you ever get the chance to look into RS988 support?
Thanks.

RS988 Porting
So now that we have full bootloader and root capability w/custom recovery. Does anyone know what it would take to port any AOSP ROMS or stock ROM's like Fulmics to this device?

Not sure but I do know it would make many of us very happy to see it. I've not stumbled upon the root procedure yet but anxious to get started.

If you look it up in XDA, there Are already threads with bootloader unlock + root + TWRP threads to get you started. I'm running stock rooted and it's pretty solid. Just wanna see if this device can get into the ROM game

Yes. It's currently the only custom recovery for this device.
Cool I see h830 and h850 on the TWRP devices page. So rs988 works too? :good:

If you poke around LG G6 ROM Development forums you'll find a thread on unlocking bootloader's for this device and there is a download for the RS988 specific TWRP. It's not on the TWRP site

Whoops slight error. I meant LG G5

Hello Everyone,
I want to ask if anyone has any experience with unlocking the LG G2 Mini. I have reserched a while and it seems to be there is no way of unlocking it for free. A link to a trustworthy, not too expensive website for unlocking codes would be helpfull!
Btw: just flashing a new custom ROM doesn't unlock the phone.
Thanks
Flash an unbranded stock kdz.
Then, whatever ROM you want.
Your carrier probably added the lock on the bootstack.

Thank you, i 'll try this out. Is there any difference in a kdz build? What componets are integrated in those files?

LG releases its stock ROMs in kdz format, which you can flash with LG Flash Tool.
I believe it contains all the partitions on the phone (though I could be wrong about this).
I flashed the flashable stock rom zip version 20b but still doesn't unlock i can only use one sim

That zip doesn't contain the bootstack.
Only the ROM.

Sorry for being so late with my response. I flashed a kdz-Stock ROM quite a while ago now and it didn't worked out in my case. So the lock seems to be somewhere deeper in the phones software.
My research wasn't very successful because everybody just want to sell a unlockcode not give an solution :/.

Are you sure it's unbranded?
If it has your provider's codename on it, then it's branded.
Flash one with the codename of the country (or general area) you live in.
What is the name of the kdz you flashed?

I flashed 'D620r10g_00.kdz' and D620r20b_00.kdz'
I am pretty sure they are both unbranded. As you probably can read out of the name - one is KK and one is LP.

Try flashing the actual bootstack from the Original Dev section.
If that doesn't work, then the lock is somewhere else.
Maybe in the partition that holds the IMEI. I don't know.
I can't help you much.
Flashed the Kitkat baseband from this thread (D620r):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/g2-mini/development/bootstack-kk-l-unknown-baseband-imei-t3142805
But unfortunately it didn't helped. This Provider knows how to let his customers pay .
Thanks anyways for your help and patience. Appreciate you!
