I have to return my handset for warranty purposes so I want to unroot/re-lock bootloader etc. The process I followed for root and unlock are in this post.
I have the stock ROM the phone came with and I have tried unrooting (which did work obviously) but I am still left with the bootloader unlocked and that warning message when the phone is switched on.
Anybody know how I can remove that and relock the device? I should probably have done that before removing root......
I would just flash back to stock with lg flash tool...

I was going to do that but I thought there might have been a way to just relock the device.

if you used freegee I think you can use restore to return to locked state

Yeah everything went well mate. Thanks for your interest
using the restore option with the freegee app just restores the last recovery you had installed before you used freegee to unlock.

Wow buddy, not being rude here, but you need to do a lot of reading before you attempt anything, your going to end up bricking your phone, video isn't needed, just do some reading!!

I've been attempting it for awhile, yeah i bricked it once but i got it out. Rooted a few phones before this one but nothing seems to be working :/
in freegee the same text is popping up "adb.exe is not recognized..."

Just check that link. You can use it to unlock your phone.... Or pay the $2.00 and buy freegee from the market, it's much easier and supports a good cause.... Good luck.

It unlocks the bootloader. I have the E973 from Telus and it never had Telus branding at boot. You need to unlock the bootloader with freegee

Good choice man. When you go to install rom make sure to read instructions carefully in the first post. The process is a little bit different than that of other phones.

Everything you are asking about is literally in this same section, If you are rooted just use Freegee.

There is no bootloader unlock. Loki was implemented onto this device to bypass the bootloader or a need to unlock the bootloader. The recoveries available in Freegee all have Loki implemented into them, so that then when you flash a Rom with a boot.img in them, it'll be patched with the Loki bypass.

I don't know how to start talking about this so here we go...
I tried updating OTA with my phone rooted. I never unlocked bootloader btw. In the midst of updating, I got the android laying flat on his back w/ the red triangle w/ the exclamation point in the middle. I freaked out and was bout to cry until my phone booted up. I never had that happen.
A few days later, I decided to unroot my phone and try updating again (because the constant popups were annoying) and same problem.
My last resort was factory resetting the phone and try the update...no dice.
So I need help.
1) How can I update when it just...won't let me. Another option is
2) How can I can turn off the pop up notification. I know how to turn off the status bar notification. Or a REALLY DRASTIC OPTION is
3) How do I unlock bootloader? I am terrified and would want proof but this method is if I am REALLY desperate.
If nothing works, I hope I can take my phone up to Sprint and exchange it for an HTC 8XT, since my phone is still worth something...I hope.
Thanks for people who respond and try to help me in advance
EDIT: Scrolling through forums I found someone who posted the same thread like mine so...you can do whatever you want to this thread.
I apologize.
Don't OTA it then. Download some ZVC rims in the Android development section..... I believe Mr.Nerdz ZVC is a stock rom with no tweaks what so ever. Dunno if it comes root or not and if not, rooting and unlocking is the same as ZVB

Then use the sbl unlock in FreeGee's menu.
Or LGNPST with teeny bins. Both unlock the same way, just with a different delivery.

Yeah. When I first have LGOG, I used freegee and soft brick as well. Then used teeny bin and was okay. The latest freegee helped me unlock and didn't soft brick on me in zvc when I manual update zvc thru lgpnst

PMed yu bro. dunno if forum allow pastebin so i pmed u the guide check it out.
Hey everyone, I had to reflash the ZVC software through LGNPST because I bricked my phone and now I'm having trouble unlocking the bootloader - I've never had a problem with this before! When I run Freegee it doesn't even ask or have the option to unlocked the bootloader, just to flash recoveries. I tried that hoping it would unlock it, but it didn't work. The older versions you would just click "unlock my phone" but this new one it doesn't exist. I even tried using an older freegee to unlock it, but even though it says "Your phone has been liberated!" it still remains locked. Any ideas?

There is no option for that in the new version of freegee that I downloaded, none that I can find! And yes, I tried the teeny bins as well
The only way to install a recovery is to unlock the phone .

So as Shel said... If you have a recovery, then your unlocked.
I ran it last night and it is even more simple now. Backup EFS, install recovery, Done.

Thanks for the new FreeGee. It's so simple, a caveman can do it.
Guess I need to rewrite/shorten the guide now.
So now we just go straight to the SBL unlock I guess?

If thats the case how come every time i reboot my phone or turn it on this screen comes up saying "Google" with a locked symbol at the bottom?

The Google comes from the sbl unlock that used to be the only option on the new FreeGee.
The Freegee released last night gives you an option of the old style with LG, and the new style with Google.
Eventually you'll end up with the Google style just because that will be needed to unlock your phone. That's just the nature of our phone.
As for the lock symbol, are you sure it isn't an open lock and just not turned? Mine has it and is unlocked. If you press and hold the power+vol up that should give you TWRP or CWM. Whichever was your choice.
