To be very honest with you,i find 3G faster on this phone then my Att inspire4 g phone.
[LG Optimus L90] yogeshsr:
I guess some good news for L70 users...this artical talks about changing the default installation locationof the apps to SD card. After the fix,you can also move some of your pre installed apps to sd card which refused to move earlier.

http://www.howtogeek.com/114667/how...y-default-move-almost-any-app-to-the-sd-card/

not tried this as i am out this weekend. I hope this works.

People, need advice:

I just bought LG L70 D320N,serbian VIP mobile version.

I would try root as many of you have reported working root for D320N version but I would also like to REMOVE whatever this LG UI is called.

Does anyone have any knowlege about the possibility of removing this shi* from LG .. ? This phone would turn out to beawesome device if only one could use vanilla/nexus like android on it ..
[LG Optimus L90] Jfredbaby:
I have tried this with no luck. So after I tried this default install location this is what happened. It worked to change install location. The reason it won't work is that kitkat has a lock on our sd card. You have to go to Google play and search kitkat sd fix. But here's the kicker you can't fix the sd problem with out root. So for that reason it would not install any apps. It says not enough storage to install app. So I went back and switched it back. WE NEED ROOTED!!!

LG L70 still NOT rooted

Any news on whether we can root the metro L70? If not, what is keeping us from rooting?
[LG Optimus L90] bobdamnit:
No, it cannot be rooted. LG locked us out of the recovery, so we cant flash a root script.
[LG Optimus L90] AndroidAddict||AA:
Hmm, i'll see if I can figure something out (doubtful though). I don't want to brick my device or get it stuck in a bootloop since I don't have a win7 laptop to flash the firmware with.

You should really read back a few pages in the thread. A lot of the root methods have already been tried.

Never heard of Kingo. This is what I was talking about: http://www.erodov.com/forums/how-root-any-android-device-manually/43325-page2.html

I will scroll through the other pages and see what hasn't worked.
[LG Optimus L90] bobdamnit:
I'm not sure that will work, as its from 2011 and I'm sure Android has been updated to not allow this to work anymore. You can give it a shot if you have ADB installed on your OS.

Hell, I might give it a shot because I have it installed on my Mac. Or I can reboot into Win7 and give it a shot. Will let ya know.

Hey! I've been lurking the L90 posts for a while now since I traded in my Xperia Z1S (two warranty replacements with faulty touchscreens was enough for me), and so far I love this phone. I read through all the posts, but I was wondering, has anybody tried motochopper to root this? That's how I rooted my Optimus F3 back in the day. Or, does it not work with KitKat? Just figured I'd throw out a suggestion.

I tried to revoke usb debugging permits, restarted my PC, phone, adb kill-server, everything, it just stays offline.

When I do the revoke thing, I figured it would prompt me again for allowing my PC to connect, but nothing happens when I clear the revokes.

any help with this .. ?

EDIT: somehow I had two instances of ADB, one running from WINDOWS folder, overriding the one from platform tools. All good now.

Now with "DAT ROOT" :D , any way to remove LG user interface ..?
[LG Optimus L90] bobdamnit:
Motochopper doesn't seem to work. It says:

[LG Optimus L90] bobdamnit:
I just tried. It won't work because the only way we can get the phone into Emergency Download Mode is through the LGMobile Support Tool and updating the device. However, once it goes into download mode, it basically destroys the stock ROM and you must complete the update. After that, it will boot normally. So that doesn't work.

And, I manually ran the steps for Motochopper. It failed. :(

We are seriously running out of options for the MS323.

[LG Optimus L90] -==3DGuy==-:
LG's Hard Reset Procedure

I've continued reading the tech data on the L70 looking for any nugget that might help get this phone rooted, when I came across LG's Hard Reset Procedure on their website which I can't link to yet.

I found the procedure curious because it shows a key-sequence that interrupts the boot sequence which is the problem we're having with this phone - interrupting the boot sequence.

Anyway, I don't know if this will help, but I thought it was worth posting.

Here is LG's Hard Reset Procedure copied from their support website:

Factory Reset Using Physical Buttons

Turn the phone off.

Press and hold the Volume Down key + Power/Lock key on the side of the phone.

Release the Power/Lock key when the LG logo is displayed. Then immediately press and hold the Power/Lock key again.

Release all keys when the Factory hard reset screen is displayed.

Press the Volume key up or down, highlight Yes and press the Power/Lock key to continue. To cancel select No (Exit) and press Power/Lock key.

Press the Volume key up or down, highlight Yes and press the Power/Lock key to confirm. Once confirmed the device will restart and factory data reset will be performed.

Your device will perform a hard reset.

Note: If a factory reset is performed, all installed applications and user data will be erased. Please remember to back up any important data before performing a factory reset.
[LG Optimus L90] meanhacker:
this was already discovered, but can you PM me the link to where you got this information? I will put up a link here and see if I can find any more info that might be valuable.
[LG Optimus L90] AndroidAddict||AA:
Actually I figured out yesterday that you can get into download mode (I think that's what it is) by powering off your phone, plug the phone into laptop while pressing the volume up button and it will take you to what I think is download mode. Hope that is what it is and I hope it helps someone find root.
[LG Optimus L90] bobdamnit:
When I do that, all I see is the normal "Charging" screen. After a brief period, the screen turns off and the phone becomes unresponsive until I power it on.

I've also tried holding both volume up and volume down, pushing power, and plugging in the USB cable to my laptop as soon as the screen turns on, however all it does is boot normally.

I've yet to force the phone into emergency download mode using a button combination. Only through LGMobile Support Tool. :(
[LG Optimus L90] AndroidAddict||AA:
My method worked for me yesterday. I am going to try again and see if I left anything out. Will edit this post in a few minutes to let you know

EDIT: Yep just did it again. You plug the phone in and almost instantly press and hold the volume up key until in download mode
[LG Optimus L90] kcarden:
I've actually got an idea...

Maybe if we could use a program like winject to inject a custom .DLL into the lg support tool while its updating? Any thoughts on this and someone who could write the .DLL would be a good start. I can test for whoever once the .DLL is written. Maybe possible that way to inject the binaries as the program is updating to give us some access to the filesystem.
[LG Optimus L90] bobdamnit:
OK, I'll give this a shot tomorrow. If I can get the device into download mode, I'm almost positive I can root the damn thing. Probably no custom ROMS or recovery, but at that point we should be able to remove the bloatware and free up some internal storage.

I'll jeep ya guys informed, for sure.

---------- Post added at 03:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:58 AM ----------

This seems both unnecessary and overly complex. I know it has worked in the past for other LG phones, but I'm pretty sure it has been fixed because the process no longer works for the LG G2.

AA has given me hope because he can get his phone into "EDM" or "download mode" and at this point, you should have access to the file system and push a root exploit.

The other option is to use a modified "pre-rooted" LG signed stock ROM built for the L70 on other networks, but because we can't access the file system, modifying it for our carriers is not an option. In other words, we would have root, but not be able to call/text/mms.
[LG Optimus L90] AndroidAddict||AA:
As soon as we get a game plan set, we can start messing with different methods. You know where to find me. Talk to you soon.
[LG Optimus L90] bobdamnit:
So I ran through the steps here: http://www.erodov.com/forums/how-root-any-android-device-manually/43325-page2.html

I get as far as putting the device into download mode (which I finally figured out how to do) and fired up a Ubuntu 11.04 live USB. Guess what? The device does not show up at all. So I cannot verify whether the files are where I put them, nor can I move them to where they need to be moved to get root.

I'm at a loss. :(
[LG Optimus L90] AndroidAddict||AA:
Yeah, i'm at that part also. Linux doesn't detect the phone on download mode. Download mode detects that my phone is rooted but it isn't. If you want to talk you know where to find me

The metro version doesn't boot to recovery, it just reboots when trying that.

Ok..this is not correct as myself using ATT sim (cut my existing standard SIM to micro sim using the template) flawlessly. absolutely no delay,lag getting true 4G speed. As I mentioned earlier in one of my posts, this works better than my ATT inspire 4G phone.

My Wife is T-mobile customer and I cut her standard sim to micro to fit into this phone and she's getting T mobile 4G network with no issues.

Interesting. I was planning on picking it up since it was a low price of $228 + I already have a Walmart $30 SIM that I can just cut down. :)

@cgigate I don't know how it works but I guess either it's different on some phones or my sister got it unlocked. To my knowledge, I was the one who suggested it as a present; I checked myself with a clerk that it wasn't unlocked. (and it wasn't.) And it unnerves me now that I'm probably not supposed to use the T-Mobile APN. (But I still get faster speeds with that one, so..)

Yogeshsr: i bought Metro PCS LG Optimus L70 phone

Yogeshsr: i would like to know if there a firmware package that I can flash manually

Yogeshsr: I dont want to update the firmware thru settings

Gus: I am afraid not. There are no updates I am afraid. Glad to help out here as best I can but I am afraid we have no ETA on when our devices will receive updates since its not up to LG. Updates are up to the carrier to decide when they wish their model to receive an update and then they contact Google and LG engineers to get the update to work with the hardware we made for them if possible. I would suggest checking with the carrier for more information regarding software and updates.

Yogeshsr: so there is no firmware package as such released by LG?

Gus: I am afraid not.

Gus: If you have an issue with software you could try and perform a factory reset which might fix the issue but it will erase everything in the phone memory

Yogeshsr: ok thanks.

Gus: No problem at all, you are so very welcome. In any case, it has been a pleasure chatting with you today. By pressing the exit or "End live chat" button you would be able to see a very short survey and score your experience with me. I will now remain on the chat line for around 2 minutes before exiting the chat session. Should you ever have any further questions or concerns at all, please do not hesitate to contact us again via Live Chat, which is open from 8am to 8pm central time (Monday to Friday), or by calling in to the 24/7 toll free customer support line at 1-800-243-0000. Thank you so very much for your kindness and patience, please enjoy the rest of your day and I do wish you the very best.

I disagree. IF possible, the source for the firmware should always be from the official website of the manufacture. many manufacture these days are developer friendly and publish their firmware.

Instead of arguing about who is right how about you help us try and figure out a way to get root. Yes, you can get the kdz from the site you linked to, that is where I got it. If we all work together then we should be able to achieve root.

UPDATE: I have successfully extracted the kdz file to a cab file. I am downloading a cab extractor now
