Just saying what worked on my end, tried your way as well but doesn't seem to work with the other 4 LG MS323's I have with me.

What would be interesting is a post on the methodology used to get all this to work.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidAddict||AA:
There is a post for that, it is the original post :p You power off the device, plug your usb in, press the power button to boot the device, once boot starts, release power button and press and hold volume up

Ended up having to factory reset my device. Good thing I had my google account backed up. Everything is working just fine now. Now for CM11 oh man I can't wait

No, no. How everyone figured out how to unlock the bootloader and all that. The dev process.

You closed the tab and opened a new one??? My chrome is set up so it opens new windows in new tabs... but you should be able to just click on any other site or bookmark...it should go away?!?! sorry I wasn't clear about that. also i noticed that on some downloads it gives me **** about an outdated browser...I just switch to another user-agent like Iphone or blackberry or whatever works. let me know how it goes. Make sure ur not using the native hotspot the app overrides it.

Paypal donation

Thanks so much to whoever Brian is for sending me a donation, unfortunately I will have to deny it due to paypal wanting me to verify a bank account (I don't have one). I really appreciate it though. Was wondering why the status still said unclaimed after someones first donation. Anyways, if someone knows of another way to receive donations without a bank account, I would appreciate it :p

Just took a lot of messing around and reading how other devices were able to achieve it. I was scared when I first unlocked it because I had to test flash an unsigned boot.img to the device to be sure it was unlocked, the LG flash tool doesn't work for me so if I would have bricked I would have lost my only L70 (at the moment).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caseyjp11:
Just curious here, but every single time I boot into recovery, when exiting it asks to fix root. Is this specific to this recovery image, and do I have to answer "yes" every single time? I haven't had to do that with any other recovery I've used to this point.

I'll answer "yes" to be safe, but it does seem odd.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidAddict||AA:
I would answer yes to be safe lol. This is a brand new version of CWM so I have never used it until now

well can u unlock and flash after boot mine is unlocked and runnig cwm recovery
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidAddict||AA:
Alright, it is one recovery or the other. I don't have time to build both since I have to build a ROM for the MS323. I might be able to squeeze in a recovery build for the person that gets chosen last but only after a ROM is published for MS323 users. First one to find me kernel source for their device gets the first build, if you cant find recovery source then I wont be of much help :(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vbtechx:
by source do you mean recovery img of device? if not can you tell me how you got source of MS323.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caseyjp11:
I didn't even think about firmware version (missed posts I'm guessing)...but if you guys are referring to build/software versions, then

I'm thinking I'm on "b" as well.

build: KOT491.MS32310b

software: MS32310b

And it all worked. (except for the single error regarding the laf file which still copied to the pc just fine.)

fyi and all.

Been trying for last 3 days to setup fast boot.. Does not work. Keeps going into firmware download mode. Tried to unblock and run as admin 50 times. Can someone help? Im rooted with su and busy box installed.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidAddict||AA:
Got your PM, send me the rest of the files when you have a chance and I will get started ;)

Sounds like the script is not running correctly, not a fastboot problem. Unforttnately I do not have much time today to really explain things so if you have any questions after what I am about to tell you then hopefully someone may be able to help :)

From your computer with the device plugged in, open command prompt and follow these instructions to zero out the partition:

adb shell

then type

su

Once that is done, make a backup of your stock partition:

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

Once that is done, it is time to zero out the partition:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/laf

When all that is done, proceed to part 2 of the guide. If for any reason when you start on part 2 of the guide and you type "fastboot devices" and it hangs on waiting for device, you need to install the generic fastboot driver from my original post

EDIT: [MENTION=4833501]yogeshsr[/MENTION] you might want to edit your post in the forum request section, our bootloader is unlocked, not locked :p

great work AA and guys.

was away from XDA for some time and when checked yesterday, it was a pleasant surprise! everything worked flawlessly. congrats and thanks to AA and everyone involved getting the recovery on this phone.

there was a time when we were struggling to get the root on this phone, and now, we have come this far.

I have made a new device forum request . if its approved, we can start a new dev thread for this device.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidAddict||AA:

When/If I or someone I am working with finishes a ROM for this device it will probably not be posted up until we get our own forum because I cant stand all of the clutter in this thread lol.

I got the boot loader unlocked, and cwm flashed. Thank you AA and Bob, and everyone else involved.

If any of you are on a Windows computer, I can help if you run into problems.

AA, my LG is no longer using a service, so it's pretty much a small tablet I use in WiFi only. I should be a lot more available than I was before to test things for you, and I no longer have to fear being without my phone! Let me know if you want me to be a guinea pig.

Xposed

Use gravitybox to add reboot recovery. reboot bootloader doesnt work. to your restart. I think xblast does it too. Also if anyone is wondering, Most of the lg g2/g3 xposed modules work minus a few things.

Ps, everything works flawlessly. Also you can use resflux to edit lockscreen settings and enable the extra swipe locks(particle, ripple, weather on lockscreen etc), or easy mode (Press & hold) or decompile the apk.. whichever you prefer. I also have a modded keyguardapk that i changed the ripple leaves and flower pedals into little andy's! it looks a hell of a lot cooler. If anyone is interested I can post it.

Could someone answer my question please?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crutchcorn:
What question? PM me
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bichofelix:
Lockscreen

LGKeyguard.apk - This one goes in /system/priv-app (Make a backup first!) All I changed were the drawables.

LGLockscreenSettings.apk - This one goes in /system/app (Again, make a backup even though all I did was change some bools.)

Copy, Overwrite, change permissions to rw-r-r, reboot. Should work fine, but if you encounter any problems just let me know.

Oh yeah, the touch doesnt work, I must have missed a value to make it work, animation doesn't fit correctly on the screen anyways. Also the flex theme is cool but doesn't fit either. Weather is awesome. (Why lg disabled this stuff is beyond me.) Also added the option to remove widgets. [I'm assuming you wouldnt, but it's nice to have options :)]

Maybe someone might actually like this.

SCREENSHOTS
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kylegrant:
Its been answered like three times and someone even posted a screenshot to help...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bichofelix:
Somebody did answer you. It's back a page or two. So basically if it says 'firmware download' it didnt work. If it comes up with a black screen with some white text it will SAY download mode but since we broke it, it switches ports to fastboot. Enter fastboot commands 'fastboot devices' to see if your device is there then type 'fastboot oem unlock'.

Again, hold vol+ and plug the usb in to reach fastboot.

Hey

Can we make a request when it comes to Custom rom .. if so i want to throw out

AOKP or CM

Thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bichofelix:
I think it's standard hdpi. I'm not quite sure. I didn't have to change any permissions, I literally just replaced like 6 images. (Andys from leaves and flower petals. And shadows to transparent images.) But, the way i signed it conflicts with the original sig so it won't take it as an update.

You can change the size of the bootanimation, just edit 'desc' by extracting - editing to our phone size (480x800) - then just toss it back in a zip with es file but be sure to select 'store' for compression type. (No compression).

Hey charkle, you unlocked & flashed CWM without a comp? If so...could you fill me in please?

As it turns out, I no longer have access to even a library computer. Sooo...with a CM11 in the works, a bow to you AndroidAddict, by the way...I am anxious to play catch-up. I only recently was victorious in partitioning my SD card, on the 2nd try. Nearly corrupted it the first time. My L70 would no longer read it so I had to rely on my trusty little Venture. Put the SD in there and it read fine. I formatted, crammed it back in the Optimus and everything was gravy.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crutchcorn:
If you can boot into CWM, yeah.

Some phones models are defective and will not boot into CWM using key combo. This is a result of defective models. No way to fix that. You have to use the app the boot into CWM. After unlocking bootloader, you still need to flash CWM. If you did this than you should be good.

Yea, the problem with that tho is

1) I don't have a D415 DLL (yet)

3) LG FlashTool won't flash a different model TOT if the model numbers don't match (the phone itself matching with DLL file and TOT file)

4) You would have to KDZ flash back to D415 in the end since we don't have D415 DLL nor international model DLLs

Thanks for all the effort on the L70

My apologies for an earlier post concerning lack of support for rooting the L70. I was going strictly from the andriod forums that I've always used before. I know that this is a very difficult phone for you guys to work with, I've not seen so much trouble with getting a device rooted.

Although its hard for me to follow exactly whats going on because of my limited knowledge with these devices still I want to thank all of you for the trouble you're going through. I've followed Sammy since my first rooted Admire and have come to trust his work and know that if there is a solution for this problem he will be one of those that is responsible for getting things resolved.

Once again Thanks to all of you who are doing whatever it takes to get these phones rooted and improved, I just wish that companies like LG would simply allow devs to access the bootloaders and work to make these phones much better.
