T-Mobile and Metro PCS problem

You and I are on the same boat. Metro PCS and T-Mobile did something else to the L90 and L70 which makes it skip the recovery and go straight to the standard boot up once we send the command through ADB shell. Since the L70 came out last week and the L90 comes tomorrow (even though Best Buy sent it to me a few days earlier,) I think we will have to wait until more knowledgeable people get it and see if we can get into recovery somehow.

If anyone has any idea or theory on how to get into recovery please let us know. I have rooted every android phone I had, so I can try out any ideas anyone might have. I will gladly be a guinea pig. I know that the G2 with Kit Kat has the same problem as ours, so maybe there is some way we can use the IOroot to root the L90 and L70 on US carriers. But thanks to everyone who has contributed in this thread and I hope that we can fix this problem with the T-Mobile and Metro PCS phones soon!

LG L70 D325 (root)

how to play the game data. obb in external_sd
[LG Optimus L90] luisro:
Folder Mount

The only way to do that is being rooted. If you were able to get root, just download Folder Mount from the Play Store. That will allow you to do that.
[LG Optimus L90] Jfredbaby:
Yeah would love to do that with my L70. Sounds like the easy way.

[LG Optimus L90] luisro:
Alternative way to acquire root?

I

Hello OlegaOr, first of all thanks for all your help in the rooting of these phones. I have been investigating how to achieve root on my T-Mobile L90, and I thought of something. Is there a way I can flash your already rooted system image into the L90? I remember that to root my L9 I used that same program that you used to extract the .kdz, but at some point of the process I replaced the downloaded .kdz with another that was already rooted and that is how I was able to root the L9. Might something like that be possible in the L90? Once the program downloads the .kdz for the phone and asks me what to do, can I take your .kdz and use it to replace mine? Or might it brick the phone?
[LG Optimus L90] mohitmohata9:
awesome

thanx bro for sharing how to root no just find a way to unlock boot loader n kernel source for further development on this mobile

again thanx alot
[LG Optimus L90] olegat0r:
As I know edited kdz files are not flashable because of wrong checksums.

ADB can replace system partition only after granting root permissions. And one more problem. We have access to adb only while system runs, so we can't reflash system safely as it will reboot at any moment.

Try to investigate ioroot method, maybe you'll make it working for our phones too.

As I understand from there author managed to get temporary root and placed su files to their destination.

Sent from my new LG L90 D410 that is FINALLY ROOTED!!
[LG Optimus L90] olegat0r:
Kernel sources are already published by LG. But without working fastboot commands in recovery it is impossible to unlock boot loader and reflash kernel.

[LG Optimus L90] supamesican:
Hmm

The OP says carrier branded phones aren't supported by this method. I just got a t-mobile l90, does that mean it can't be rooted or just not with this method?

Sorry if I sound like a noob, I've never had a smartphone before so I am a noob I guess.
[LG Optimus L90] shinobisoft:
It can be rooted. I used TowelRoot to root mine. I've not been on stock for some time now so I need to ask what software version you are running. My stock was V10C and unless there was an update I don't know about, you should be on V10C as well. If that's the case, TowelRoot should work for you. PurpleDrake should work as well.

[LG Optimus L90] yogeshsr:
You quoted entire OP that's first wrong thing you did, and next is, you haven't mentioned which phone your trying to root and what problem do you have.
[LG Optimus L90] carib909:
Rooting LG L70

More rules than solutions. I responded to a thread about rooting LG L70. I have the L70. Aka Ms323. I stated each problem in each step. What else should I have stated?
[LG Optimus L90] yogeshsr:
MS 323 can not be rooted with this method as the boot loader is locked. If you are on the latest firmware 10C you will have to wait little longer. If you are on 10B then download towelroot and install the apk.

If you are on 10C and desperate for the root,flash the kdz file for 10B and use towelroot. There is a separate thread for MS323 so search for it..this thread suports multiple phones,but definitely not ms323.

And there are no rules,but common sense. to not to quote entire op.
[LG Optimus L90] carib909:
Rooting LG L70

I'm now informed. Makes no sense not to specifically quote what one is replying to so not much common sense, but if that's your wish, I won't.

Sorry for taking so long to reply, my university slammed me with work last week because of thanksgiving this week.

My software version is D41510c, so I'm guessing its the same as yours cause of the 10C. Since towelroot worked for you it should for me too. So thanks a lot! I'll hopefully have it rooted this week.
[LG Optimus L90] supamesican:
I installed towelroot(downloaded frog first page) and installed and ran it. I think it worked, since my phone didn't reboot. Is there anything I need to do to check and see if it worked? Cause if I understand root correctly I should be able to uninstall some of the crapware it came with, but when I go to the apps section that option is grayed out.

double edit: it looks like I can uninstall the updates and disable the app, just not remove it entirely now. Kinda wondering if some of these aren't just hard built in to the rom.. Though I still can't move any of them them to the SD card so thats a thing.

Unmount external_SD, and remove. Insert into card reader, and wait for Windows to recognize. Now launch Minitool.

Kitkat changed security of SD so that apps are only allowed access to their own files, so no mass storage mounting. Should work using CM-11.

You use this method here just reflashing the kdz I posted a link to and don't relock your bootloader, after flashing the kdz with the lg tool just root with towelroot as usual.
