So no bypass? Or is that still in the works? No rush. I just didn't understand about who is leaving and why..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidAddict||AA:
Our bootloader has been unlocked and tested by me, will have a guide posted later today. If you would like to show me some support you can do so by donating via paypal (after I post the guide). All donations will be split up between me and the others I am working with and will continue to work with. CWM is still in the works and after that I plan on taking a stab at CM11. Thanks for your patience everyone, I am just as excited as you guys and gals will be :p

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidAddict||AA:
I am also broke so I know the feeling, you don't have to donate if you cant afford it :p Anything is appreciated if you decide you want to :) Working on a user friendly method to take on a few of the commands used to unlock the bootloader, it might take me a little while but it will be done today.

At first we had a bypass then after doing some reading I have managed to unlock the bootloader with help from others, I even risked bricking to be sure lmao (I cant unbrick on my windows machine). I flashed an unsigned boot.img on my phone and the LG security check didn't kick in. It is some great news for us L70 users. I am in the process of writing the scripts for windows/linux users to take care of the first half of the unlock process. This is the part where everyone needs to install adb and fastboot with the drivers so it will make it easier on you when it is time to unlock your bootloaders :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crutchcorn:

Again thanks a lot for your hardwork that takes a lot of patience and dedication, I wish I had some money to donate but Im broke at the moment lol. Anyways I can't wait to get CM11 on this I'm getting tired of the ugly LG ui and its bloat ware. Hopefully you can develop a speedy kernel to go with it.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidAddict||AA:
Try to boot your phone to download mode and see if it zeroed out the laf.img. It looks to me like it might have worked. Also make sure you have the fastboot drivers installed

I can't go Into download mode it just shows black screen and starts android after showing the animation

Which fastboot drivers?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidAddict||AA:
Ok, sounds good :)

Well if it didn't boot to bootloader then it didn't work on your version :( Sorry man, I was hoping it would work on all the L70's. Scroll down to the bottom of the guide and restore your laf partition that way so you can have your download mode back. If I can think of anything else, I will let you know

Running windows vista

I'm having the same problem for some reason. I put my phone in usb debugging and charge only. I also install the adb and fastboot drivers for this xda post : http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2317790. I run the command and it said write error no space left on device. Anyways I follow the command prompt and moved on to part 2 where I power off the phone and press the vol up button that boot me on the metro pcs startup animation. I open minimal adb and fastboot and entered

fastboot

followed by

fastbot oem unlock

it said waiting on device and that was it.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Silver Rivers:
And for those blokes without access to either desktop or laptop? How are we to unlock our bootloaders? ROM Toolbox's terminal emulator, perhaps? It worked flawlessly to flash CWM on my Alcatel Venture. Granted, the Venture is running GB 2.3.5. Comparatively a less complex OS than our L70. But...Would it be possible?

Anyone have a clue for a n00b?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ricki13th:
I figure out how to unlock bootloader manually.

Update: Ok, I ended up manually putting the laf.img file (22MB) in the folder onto my phone via ES file explorer app. It was put in the directory shown in the command prompt that was giving me the error (no storage on the device): /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name. From there boot into fastboot mode (where download mode use to be) by turning off the phone and plug one end of the usb into the phone and the other end into the computer followed by pressing the vol. up button till you see what looks like its about to enter download mode but below it there will be a script that says ''fastboot int...'' From there you open command prompt with adb and fastboot installed and follow part 2 of the instructions. This was for people like me who were getting an error in part 1. Thank you Devs.

Download adb and fastboot drivers here: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B1S0LCuXCnnmSWh6NGJmSE1BUWc/edit

I did the manual copying as soon as I got the error. I just didn't press the buttons in the right order so now volume up then power

AndroidAddict it officially works on D325 variant too albeit manual or maybe because I need more memory don't know it just works

I tried putting the laf.img file manually, because i got the same error in adb. I copied it in the right folder, but when i try to boot in fastboot mode, i get something like:

My phone is D320n. What can I do to get my bootloader unlocked?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ricki13th:
Great you were actually able to boot into fastboot mode. Install the adb and fast boot drivers that I linked in my post ( if you have not done so already) and then type

fastboot

press enter followed by

fastboot oem unlock

and you should be unlocked.

Note: Make sure you have all of the following requirements by the way: lg mobile united drivers are installed, the phone is in USB debugging and when its connected to the computer than its charge only, busybox should be installed on your phone via play store and of course it is rooted already. That is all.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcbjoe:
Thanks

Thanks for your hardwork and doing this

Everyone has been watiting for a while .. i was looking at the script file and all it did was zero out your laf parition

laf = download mode

then we did fastboot oem unlocked witch mean whatever was on the download mode parition we made it 0 and fastboot oem unlocked it

its the same thing with all poaritions if you zero it out like the recovery parition fota parition any of the paritions you can zero them out and nothing will be there it .. ? why did it take a very long time writing a simple script ?

Not saying i don't like it trust me thank you im just wondering why it took so long .. many testers where waiting to help out

Anyways Thanks again

CWM or TWRP is going to be awesome

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Junkie2100:
we were unaware of the fact that it had bootloader/fastboot access, because you have to break lg download mode to get it hence the zeroing out. i mean i guess we could have gone through just destroying partitions on the phone randomly, youre free to volunteer to test that if you want but you will likely need a new phone afterwards
