[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidAddict||AA:
Busybox allows us to let the device run specific commands like moving partitions from one directory to another and a lot more. You can search "busybox wiki" in google and get a full detailed explanation about it if you want. Basically it had to be installed for it to run certain commands in the batch or shell script in the bootloader method.

---------- Post added at 01:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:25 AM ----------

It should work with terminal emulater, I will edit the shell script tomorrow for people who are running it from the phone ;) It would be easier to get a forum so I would have a specific section to post in and update the thread in but I cant complain, we have an unlocked bootloader now :p I will post tomorrow when this has been done for mobile users
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobdamnit:
I had absolutely nothing to do with the boot loader unlock, other than cheering AA on.

AndroidAddict deserves the credit, not me.

Also, AA, that phone will be shipped out tonight. Expect it sometime late this week, bro.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LILJAMER:
Hello sir! :D glad to see the bootloader had been unlocked. But I tried it a second ago and i couldn't do it because my computer which is running Windows 8 told me that it was unrecognized as an executable program. It was already set as executable in my properties I even tried to set it as an exe. How am I supposed to make it executable?? :(??
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidAddict||AA:
Thanks bobdamnit, you're going to be in the credits on anything I put out for this device by the way ;)

Try double clicking the batch script and see if it runs then, the only reason I didn't add that to the original post is because it will throw your backup of the laf partition in whatever directory you have adb installed and it is different on other peoples setup so some people wouldn't know where to look for it.

Edit: and be sure you rename the script to have the bat extension
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crutchcorn:
Have you tried Unblocking the script. Right click, hit properties, then click unblock. It's the laf_script.bat

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LILJAMER:
Thanks Addict and CrunchCorn I did unblock it, after unblocking I tried to put the command in cmd it still gave me the "." unrecognized error
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidAddict||AA:
Thanks for helping him, i'm a linux user so when it comes to windows questions, I cant give a great answer :p
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crutchcorn:
All lowercase for me. ;)

Is busybox installed? Did you run the script as admin? Is the phone in developer adb mode? Is the phone in charge only mode? Is the cable proper? Is ADB installed on computer? Is fastboot? (to test these click win+R and type CMD. Then type adb and a list of things should show up.) all these things are less known but needed

EDIT: Not trying to be rude. :) Just naming things that can be overlooked by even the most advanced sometimes. :) The fine print

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LILJAMER:
I think I see the problem I will try again when I have a chance
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crutchcorn:
Sounds like fastboot might not be properly set up? Not sure how to fix this one. Has your phone's fastboot drivers installed yet? And do you have fastboot set up properly?

---------- Post added at 06:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:44 PM ----------

Cool stuff. Lemme know
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxdevxx:
I downloaded the minimal fastboot and adb drivers I don't know if that was enough. How do I set it up?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crutchcorn:
If you've installed adb and fastboot and they respond to being called via CMD or terminal (windows or Linux), you're fine. Just be sure you have root, download an app called busybox installer, install busybox, enable developer mode on the phone (open settings, then click many times on the kernal info, under general - about - software), open dev settings and enable USB developer mode, plug in the phone (install drivers) and make your phone mode go from FTP to Charge Only, then download the package, if on Windows unblock the script and run it.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidAddict||AA:
If you have done everything crutchcorn has told you and it still hangs at waiting for device then it is the fastboot driver, install the one in my original post and you will be good to go :)

Hey thanks, mate!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crutchcorn:
That's exactly what I thought. Didn't want to say anything cause I wasn't %
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidAddict||AA:
I actually just realized that you have to have a computer to unlock your bootloader. The first part of the method can be done from your device but the fastboot commands have to be done from a computer :( Sorry for the bad news
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crutchcorn:
Ahhh..... That's right. Hey! Here's an idea. Maybe I can figure out a way to make the files (adb and fastboot) able to be reached from a flash drive. That way you can visit a library or if you're in school and do it there without any harm to the computers!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Silver Rivers:
Bugger! Bad news, indeed AA. That's the situation I'm in though. My only desktop action is from public resources, a.k.a., libraries. Good luck installing ADB on one of those. I'd have to be a super hacker!

No but really. Much appreciation for your work on the unlock.

As for unlocking my phone...well I'm sure I'll find a work around.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crutchcorn:
Well hang on, I said NOTHING about installing adb on the computer, just a flash drive. I could do that no problem.

You can try A)

OR if you're able to run a program or whatnot (some libraries or schools have computers you can do this with.)

1) Download tinycore linux, it can be as small as 12MB

http://distro.ibiblio.org/tinycorelinux/

2 Use Pendrive Linux

http://www.pendrivelinux.com/

or another USB Live disk creator to install linux to be able to install adb and use that to use the commands.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smithrock:
My sincere thanks to all developers.

Installed adb and fastboot, have a root, installed busybox, enabled developer mode, installed drivers.

Then ran script, it looks like it ran.

Now, I am at the beginning of part 2,

I cannot get into fastboot mode. Power off, connected to usb, power on and press vol. up, I see LG logo, then vibrate, then blank screen, and it repeats. After few times, sometime it shows boot animation, then goes back to LG logo and vibrate with computer ding-dong noise.

what would you suggest I should do? do I repeat Part 1?

thank you very much for your help.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caseyjp11:
Had that happen as well. I waited until after the third time the LG logo showed, and then released the power button, while keeping the vol+ depressed, and the fastboot screen showed up.

It seemed a little hit or miss though as a couple of attempts just went to normal boot.

yes, black screen, heading says DOWNLOAD MODE,

press the vol. up key......

then about 7-8 lines of white text, the last line says something fastboot processing command,

I went ahead and per original instructions, typed in fastboot devices. It gave some result (numbers fastboot).

then, I typed in fastboot oem unlock. The result was OKAY, finished, total time...

am I done at this point?

thanks for your time.

I had some trouble at first as well, I ran the exploit and it ran fine...unplugged my device from my laptop, powered off. I just held the volume up and plugged usb back into my laptop and it went right to fastboot but I couldn't run part_2 my PC couldn't pick up my device in fastboot mode: Stuck on "waiting for device".

So I opened device manager with my phone still in fastboot mode....scrolled down the list and saw "Android"... I right clicked on it and updated driver to Android sooner single ADB interface. went back to the script folder and opened the promt, ran part_2...done! Not sure why my Comp didnt pick up fastboot mode...I have the right drivers installed..Its a piece of crap anyway but it works most of the time!

[CWMR][MS323] CWM 6.0.5.0 For LG L70

This recovery is for the LG L70 (MS323). It has been tested and works 100%.

This wouldn't be possible without junkie2100 and PlayfulGod, be sure to thank them also ;)

and last but not least, koush.

DISCLAIMER: I am not responsible for anything that can happen to your device when using this. Your phone = Your responsibility. Your booloader MUST be unlocked to use this.

NOTE: I am still waiting on a firmware B tester to test the key combo to boot to recovery. For all you firmware B users, be careful not to brick your device because the key combo has not been confirmed working for y'all yet :)

The Goods

CWM 6.0.5.0

md5sum: 285b20e665a23bb93872164c19706fa2

Instructions:

Fastboot users

Download the recovery.img to your computer and open up terminal or command prompt and cd to the directory where the recovery.img is.

Example:

Windows

cd Downloads

Linux

cd ~/Downloads

Now that you are in the recovery.img's directory, boot into fastboot mode by powering off the device, from power off, plug in your usb, power on the device, as soon as it starts to boot, release the power button and hold volume up until in fastboot mode.

Now in terminal or command prompt, type:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Reboot

fastboot reboot

Once booted, go download this awesome app to make rebooting to recovery easy, HERE

People who restored the laf partition, follow these steps:

Place the recovery.img in the root of your internal sd card.

Open up command prompt or terminal and type:

adb shell

su

Now it is time to overwrite your stock recovery with cwm, type:

dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery

That's it, download this awesome app to reboot to recovery HERE

Keep in mind, when rebooting from recovery, it will ask you to do 2 things, select no for the first option and select yes for fix root or you will lose your root. To boot to recovery you would use the same key that is used to factory reset, from power off, you boot and press volume down

That's it for the recovery, hope everyone enjoys it :) If you would like to donate, you can click the little donate picture in my signature and send me some money for an energy drink :p

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ricki13th:
Ok cool, I'm running on firmware B if it bricks can it be factory reset? Also, what is the button combo for resetting I remembered seeing it in the thread and forgot which page lol.

Edit: I figured out how to get it to factory reset > hold the vol down button and power button until the LG logo come up then as soon as it does release the power button only for a second and quickly press the power button again and you will enter the reset screen.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidAddict||AA:
Not sure since I am still on firmware A

On boot hold volume down and it will send your phone into a second boot, once that boot starts press volume down repeatedly and you should boot to recovery (that's how I do it). Let me know if that works on firmware B
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ricki13th:
For some reason the adb I install won't cd my downloads folder where the recovery.IMG is on my computer. Is there a manually way of getting the recovery on my phone and just replace stock with CWM after booting into fast boot?

Put the recovery.IMG into the folder where adb is setup. That should work.

*Edit* and it's fastboot you should be using, not adb.

Windows setup.

Well that took awhile but it finally worked. The trickiest part I have to say was rebooting into Download mode, letting the image flash four times and then on the fifth time letting go of the power button and then immediately pushing it while still keeping the volume up key pressed finally worked. And I too had the laf.img error and had to manually place it in the noted directory on the command window, maybe a Windows issue?

Maybe a cleaner tutorial to unlock the bootloader and immediately flash cwm would be best?

Thanks, now hopefully a good custom ROM for the phone comes out.

I was also firmware B, not sure if that makes a difference.

Is there a way to check bootloader status from phone?

Sorry but that is as easy/clean as those guides will get, we have moved to the big boy part of android now :p I try to make my guides/posts as neat as possible but since we don't have our on forum yet it makes for clutter and is very frustrating and time consuming for me to try and keep up with everyones posts. As for a windows issue, most of the problems have been with windows but most of the time the script actually finished what it was doing so it really worked first try. I tested myself on windows 7 and linux and both worked with no problems :)
