You're going to confuse people by posting in this thread about the L90, this thread is for the MS323 only and what we talk about in here has nothing to do with the L90, thanks!

UPDATE to all the people that have defective devices and cant boot to recovery via key combo, [MENTION=2989918]sammyz[/MENTION] has managed to find a way for y'all to easily boot to recovery and restore a backup in case of brick. Keep in mind that you will be replacing download mode with recovery but in my opinion a recovery is good for everything :p You can find his original post here: http://androidforums.com/l70-all-things-root/863500-recovery-keycombo.html

I have successfully flashed CWM and have downloaded rebooter. Thank you sir for your hard work! I salute you :D:D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Silver Rivers:
I will indeed, crutchcorn. This is becoming something of a quest for me. I'm sure it's possible. I spent hours upon hours trolling various android forums in search of a way to flash CWM, sans computer, on my aforementioned Alcatel Venture. Nearly gave up just before discovering that it was possible with ROM Toolbox's terminal emulator.

Sooo...in the interim, I've downloaded everything relevant. Bootloader & recovery along with their respective guides. Also, the portable ADB prompt, if so needed. However, that post is dated from 2011. Not sure how stable that will be.

Once more I'd like to graciously thank AA & the other blokes for their stellar performance. I can commiserate somewhat as it just so happens, I used to code raw HTML. Freelance webpage designer, I once was! No Dreamweaver or any of the other cookie-cutter programs. Just a simple text editor, a bottomless coffee pot on stand-by, and a vision. Prior to smart phones, web design was my tweak. Never could quite get a grasp on javascripting, however. That would certainly be useful now.

But I digress...

Now! I'm off in search of another free lunch. Wish me luck!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efore89:
So is it possible for me to flash cwm without unlocking the bootloader? And if so how may do this in a terminal emulator in rom toolbox pro? Any and all help would be very much appreciated and would result in a "High Five" and a heart filled "thanks dude"
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LILJAMER:
No Bootloader unlocking is what allows you to boot into CWM in the first place
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Silver Rivers:
Flashing CWM, yes. But to unlock, according to resident experts, one must have access to a computer. Unlocking the bootloader is THE crucial primary step, aside from gaining root, of course. You have to backtrack this thread a bit, mate. Pay special attention to posts from AndroidAddict. All the details are there.

My apologies if my posts have misled you in any fashion. I'm attempting to get a handle on this process as well.

Good luck.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crutchcorn:
Yeah, if you have another phone you could try using a USB Micro to USB Micro cable (know you're tight on the dough, but I know they're like 1.30) and hopefully able to use adb on terminal. That way you might be able to use fastboot from one phone to another. I can check and see what I can do.

I know it's a bit dated, but with my knowledge of tech I might be able to build a more current API19 general ABD and Fastboot portable files so that you can use it and it'd be relevant.

You sound quite brilliant. I have built many a site with no more than text editor as well. :) You should check out codeacedemy.com . Great site for learning JavaScript.

Best of luck!

Ok bear with me brother, Im a single father of two wonderful blessings that God has blessed me with. With that said, I cant afford to brick my phone. So are you saying I am able to flash cwm without first unlocking the boootloader? Because I have no access to a cpu nor will I in the near future. If I can flash cwm without unlocking the bootloader first, how do I do that in rom toolbox pro? I appreciate you taking time out of your day to help me. God bless.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bichofelix:
Even if you did, it wouldn't matter because thelaf.img prevents you from accessing recovery anyways. Would be completely useless.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidAddict||AA:
Sorry but an unlocked bootloader is needed to flash CWM to your device, if you can manage to get access to a computer, maybe at work or by borrowing a friends then you can unlock the bootloader. Flashing CWM with a locked bootloader will brick you
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efore89:
Thanks for clearing that up for me. God bless and have a good weekend.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Silver Rivers:
You know what dude? I was contemplating something similar. Unlock from one droid to another. Maybe over Bluetooth? That would rock, huh? But a USB Micro to Micro I haven't considered. I only included items on hand since being broke is my way of life. No worries.

Thanks for the lead on javascripting!

Does anyone have $1.30 that they just don't want?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crutchcorn:
Bluetooth won't work as it will be disabled when you go into fastboot mode. I'll check out what I can.

I would be willing to donate like $20 to you. So you can pick up the cable and a good meal on the way. PM me on how to get you it.

Yeah, AA is becoming quite the developer. He's currently working on a ROM for you guys. Its going to take a while, but all good things take time.

I'm hoping the MS323 I just sent him helps speed things along. If nothing else, its a test phone. (Sorry testers, for ruining your hobbies!)

Have you run into any particular problems trying to compile? I'm going to set up a build environment tonight. I might try aokp since you're working on cm and soap. Thinking DU style, what do you think?

Sent from my LGMS323
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidAddict||AA:
I am working on AOKP and CM11, not sure where you got AOSP from :p CM may take a little longer to work on since the person that is working on it doesn't own the device so I am trying to get AOKP done as soon as possible so he will have a device tree to work with. As for compiling errors, I have not compiled that source by itself or modified it, that is all stock kernel source.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bichofelix:
Ooh. Someone a few pages back said Aosp. Maybe it was a typo. Okay so how is aokp coming? I've only made a ROM for one device prior, anything I should know about this one?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidAddict||AA:
No worries, was possibly a typo by someone. All I can really tell you is that we are working very hard to get all of this done for L70 users, other than that I cant give you an ETA because there are always problems that need to be worked out after a build
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bichofelix:
Well I want to help in some way. I guess what I'm asking is if/how can I help?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efore89:
This phone has brought forth some much fellowship and acts of kindness. This is so refreshing to see especially in the times we now live in. God bless all of you!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vbtechx:
How is the ROM coming along?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobdamnit:
Please do not ask for ETA's. It annoys developers that are making the device better for you, and is extremely unnecessary.

It gets done when its done. If you want faster development, consider donating, developing your own ROM's or moving towards a flagship device.

Seriously, nothing makes a developer more incensed than constant badgering for their FREE work.

Also, it makes you sound ungrateful. Its done when its done.

Just a friendly reminder to everyone!

I was about to build cm but I won't be able to download 20gigs over a Wi-Fi connection

Edit: this would be my first build as well
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobdamnit:
Guys, if you want to help...

Just wait. Maybe AA will ask for testers (I'm sure he will once the ROM is close to ensure it works on a majority of devices) or look this **** up on your own time. I get that you are all aspiring to be developers and also want to do your part, but let someone build from source first so that you have someone to build from and ask for help. As of now, AA is all you got. Let him work with trusted devs and learn and I'm absolutely positive he WILL help you all.

In the mean time, learn how to setup a Linux build environment, learn fast boot, get familiar with command line.

If you are at this point and have not asked AA for his files for collaboration, shame on you. All you had to do was PM AA, junkie2100, myself, and many others to obtain the info to benefit us all.

I appreciate your enthusiasm. I really do. But we have a developing developer. Let him stretch his wings and trust him. When you get to the point that you can modify his board config better than he can, then by all means offer more assistance than "tester". But if you haven't ever setup a build environment newer than Ubuntu 12.04, sit and relax. The phone isn't that awful on stock that you can't deal with it for a while. And if you are too impatient, just go to another device.

Good things are in the works with this phone. If you aren't able to hop on our IRC (cloaked, because if you can't figure that out, your Android developer dreams are smashed right now, flat out.) or able to setup a modern build environment, or even google source/chip set configs, its not worth responding to your build queries.

I'm not trying to be a complete dicksnot asshat. I'm being a realist. We could use dedicated people that HAVE THIS DEVICE! People with developing experience. Until you can fulfill these requests, please stop requesting ETA's on ROM's, recoveries, and kernels.

To be honest, I'm amazed that development on this phone has gotten this far. I expected root, but never a recovery. AA played a significant role in both, and now after he AAnounces (geddit!) a ROM, within a day he gets an ETA request?!

Not cool.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crutchcorn:
Dude, thank you so much

Sent from my MetroPCS LG L70
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobdamnit:
I'm just trying not stop it before it gets out of hand. People need to realize that custom ROM's might never actually get fully built for this device. Asking for ETA's and rephrasing it as "any news on XX" or "how is XX coming" is only going to annoy aspiring devs and well known an respected devs. It won't speed up the process at all.

What will? Research. Almost all the information you need to help AA and the other dedicated people working with this device is available online and ready for you to pick it up and run with it. And if you hit a SNAFU, don't hesitate to ask a question.

Thanks guys and gals, for being understanding!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shinotheweevil:
Sorry if this come up as rude, but I have no intentions of building a Rom for this device. I was asking because I have an old legacy device I wanted to tinker, I wanted to ask the forum over there, but it's really dead. I'll search because that's the only help I got, but thanks for the help.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cstryon:
If I'm able to find the time to compile a build, but might not do it anyway since I have many have things to do it with things that I need to do (father of two with a wife who's chronically I'll), I could have understood your post Bob, but if you were saying don't try compiling a build at this time. No problem, I'm new to building and I can wait till we have a completed build. If bit I read it all wrong, than, well moving. If I'm OK able to start building, I have some questions. I have a windows 8 comp. Could I build in that os , what will I need? Also, if that's not possible, can a build using a I able to build from a run from disk version, or do I need it fully installed, also what Linux would be best to use? I'm a fair Linux n00b, but being a being a power user and somewhat of a geek I'll figure it out. What else would I need to have to be able to set up a build environment? If I need a full install and set up dual boot. Again if I misunderstood what you were saying... Oops it's really late here.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vbtechx:
Sorry if my post was an ETA I was on my way to school so I had to post as small and fast as I could. I was going to ask whether the ROM will work on D325 variants or won't work like the cwm. I have patience and I am not trying to put AndroidAddict off at all and I know he also does these for free. Again forgive me for annoying you if I did :(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bichofelix:
I wasn't actually trying to ask for an eta, just if there were any particular problems he was running into before I attempted my own build. Any roadblocks? That sort of thing. Maybe I should just start building and ask questions later, huh? :)

Sent from my LGMS323
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobdamnit:
I wasn't saying "Don't even try building a ROM", I was saying let AA have a try. If you have the capability to build a ROM, by all means, please do. But collaborate with any other people attempting to build a ROM so that you can help each other.

Why all work on a different ROM when all of you combined can do one ROM so much faster.

Probably the MS323 ROM will only work on the MS323, unfortunately.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bichofelix:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Silver Rivers:
Well, I gotta tell like someone told me. Your external SD card must be partitioned to create an extention for your internal. Simply moving apps to the sd does not cut the ole Kit Kat's mustard.

Back up your entire ext. sd because partitioning is preceded by a format, which I'm sure you know is a euphemism for deletion. Back-up to a cloud service, another Droid, a desktop or if you have a photographic memory, you can go that route. Then go download the Aparted app, which is your partitioner. It's in the play store. Do a search.

Once properly partitioned, you can then proceed to link your larger apps to the ext. Which requires the Link2SD app.

I now have 500mb+ free internal. Hurray for me!

A little vague, I know, but hope it helped.
