The community has done wonderful work with these MetroPCS/T-Mobile phones, and for the hold outs - keep holding out. That's just counterproductive.Īfter buying two 'misses' with the Esteem and Optimus L9, my next device will definitely be unlocked from the get-go.

LG is in the phone business, not the free phone upgrade hack business. If you wanted real open source you should've gone with a certified device from Google (such as Nexus, Moto G, etc.). That means it's not always in their best interest to let you run an 'old' model when a new version of the phone is out. There's nothing completely open source about a South Korean multinational conglomerate that profits from selling progressively upgraded devices.

You paid good money for an LG phone, equipped with LG software and (later) LG encryption.

I had similar experience with the LG Esteem, another early adopter on a device that literally went nowhere for a long time. In 90 days I'll have owned this phone for an entire year and after countless flashes and resets, it's still locked. Unlocking the bootloader has been more of a quest than I originally realized because of the slight differences between the wealth of information on T-Mobile models, and our MetroPCS version. I've owned this device since around late August of last year.

If so, sorry but all left to do is to flash back to stock ( ) and hope that these guys release this new exploit soon: They havent made it clear if this will work for phones released after June 2013 so we might as well just need to get another phone. phones that shipped after June 2013 have encrypted bootloaders. If the adb reboot oem-unlock command isn't working for you, it means your bootloader is encrypted.

To hell with this phone! Any phone for Metro easier to unlock and install ROMs? I wait 45 min then I do the adb reboot oem-unlock command and the phone just reboots but doesn't give me any confirmation. Well I managed to do everything up to the point when it comes to actually unlock it.

Is there anyway of just getting the stock ROM to look more AOSP? (besides the black system apk) I hate the f*****g Q-Slide too. Even if I get this running I still got 20 more mins of tutorial lol one of the steps is waiting 45 minutes while playing around with a phone in Russian with inverted image!! LOL I want CM11 on this phone but it's such a pain in the ass. Instead, the LGMobile Support Tool opens:Īnd after 20 seconds or so it stops working and closes. I'm following unRealProjets' tutorial to unlocking the bootloader but I'm stuck at minute 8:25 when this is supposed to happen: Even the Moto G gets great support and meanwhile here we are putting up with this bullshit. I won't get any carrier discount on it but it'll be the last damn phone I buy in a long long time. Oh, you want KitKat? Better go buy a new phone because we're not upgrading your old one! **** that. PHONE! **** LG! I paid good money for this shit whatever happened to OpenSource? Why can't we install custom ROMs on the device we paid for? I'll tell you why: this ******* want to force you to buy new phones every time they decide to discontinue support. They havent made it clear if this will work for phones released after June 2013 so we might as well just need to get another phone.īut anyways. If so, sorry but all left to do is to flash back to stock ( Unlock p769/ms769 Bootloader for NOOBS Revisited. EDIT: IGNORE THE REST OF THIS POST AND FOCUS ON THIS:
