How come previous lg devices have had their bootloaders unlock? Did lg just suddenly start being evil with their bootloaders.

lg wants their devices locked, its a smart business decision
And buying something other than a new LG product after owning a Connect was a smart decision on my part. If I had one inkling of hope in somebody unlocking the LG bootloaders, I totally would have bought a Spirit. Even in the case that it was never unlocked, if it weren't for the ugly inverted IDKWTF kinda ICS UI they puked up I would still buy it. I like to theme my stuff, or at least have the Vanilla ICS if I can't have anything else
Two powerful phones (770/870) with great potential that are locked up until 20 years after EOL is a damn shame. If I really wanted to use a phone for what it's meant to do, how the phone's manufacturer wanted me to use it and if I enjoyed wearing turtlenecks and bunny slippers I'd have an iPhone already. But looks like Android manufacturers are still going the Apple route, despite hearing that some were considering selling phones unlocked?

By back door to fast boot do you mean getting your phone to boot into it b.c I did on accident on the spirit flashing things I shouldn't have. I had no idea what to do so I just pushed back my boot image.
ROM:0002C9AC aBootWithLgeSpe DCB "boot with lge-specific reboot code(0x%08x)",0xA,0
Anything to do with the backdoor?
Lets keep matters on topic, lets agree to disagree and move on, name calling is not called for, if you have an issue with a post, simply report it rather then adding fuel to the fire. Thanks all for understanding, and lets all get along.
The LG signature tools were leaked for the Optimus 3d I believe it was. Not sure if its the same tools used to sign these partitions but worth a look perhaps.

OK I got it working after fixing my Ubuntu build and installing 32bit libraries since I decided to try out the 64bit Ubuntu. I only signed a recovery image for the l9 and used adb reboot recovery which gave me a android with a triangle (not a secure error). I'm not even sure its signed on this phone lol. I unpacked/modded/repacked my boot. Img and will test tomorrow. If you guys link me to your boot. Img I will mod it and sign it tomorrow and you can test it if nobody else has done it yet.
