Hey AndroidAddict||AA

When you get the boot loader unlocked and everything is fine you should submit a device request here

Once it is up and there is a lG Optimus l70 form you should be the OP and post all the stuff that is needed for the lgl70 i.e. lg flash tool tot files whatever it is

Thanks

CVM for the LG MS323 (L70)

Any idea if this CVM mod works? I can't post the link but it's on GitHub and titled android_device_lge_w5

I can not find any instruction on how to use it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidAddict||AA:
You cant find instructions because I didn't post instructions, and no, that source doesn't work, I am in the process of fixing it though. Have some patience ;)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LordHades21999:
Anything new yet?

Sorry to bug you. I have no idea what flashing or any of those other things are on this thread.

But is there anything new about bypassing the bootloader?

And a seriously noob question here. What is the benefit of bypassing the bootloader?

I have Optimus L70 Metro PCS rooted via towelroot.

I started searching for a root to change this hideous LG UI. It looks so kiddy and vintage at the same time. I like the New one that came out with the LG G3 alot.

I don't mean to take up time though. :eek:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcbjoe:
Unlocking the boot loader means this. when unlock your boot loader you can put a custom recovery on your device so you can flash custom roms / Custom Apps / Backup your device etc .. Stuff you can't do with a locked boot loader

Bypassing it will give us the same goal .. it boots up bypasses the locked boot loader into a custom recovery and we still can do the above mentioned

A. can't unlock it so B. Bypass it

If that made any sense

Thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] echelon64:
Oh man, if this bypass works it would solve so many of the road blocks I've met with this phone (no ext2,3,4 support, no CIFS/NFS support) goodness knows what else I can think of right now.

The lack of 2.1GHz band is so ugly... Can somebody tell me if there is even a remote chance to bring UE 3G in this device? I mean... must we wait to get this unlocked or it's an hardware thing that can't be changed?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shinotheweevil:
For the no ext2,3,4 support I use link2sd as a workaround
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LordHades21999:
Well no word from the only hope this phone has. What is CWM11? a custom rom? I would love to have a pure version of Android kitkat on my phone. Get rid of this nasty LG Ui and all these childish looking icons. I'm not a big fan of launchers etc.

I tried to get into recovery mode with some apps like ROM toolbox lite, and it looks like it would work but then the phone reboots.

If I hold down the power button and volume down button on my phone while powering up, it takes me to a screen that asks if I want to do a full factory reset. But you guys probably already know this. :laugh:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shinotheweevil:
Correct me if I'm wrong but cm11 is cyanogen mod. Which I believe isn't exactly pure kit Kat. I believe pure kit Kat would be aosp. I know you don't like launchers but I got the google now launcher (or whatever it's called) and it makes it more of the kit Kat feel. I also tried to do recovery, but like they said unless the bootloader is bypassed We can't go to recovery.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vbtechx:
Uhmm I think I am able to go into recovery successfully and it doesn't reboot. I used advanced power menu to get restart to recovery option. But it doesn't go to recovery through system buttons. What does bootloader unlocking mean?

Edit: I am using D325 and not the Metro one
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crutchcorn:
Bootloader unlocking allows the phone to load unofficial roms (Cyanogen, Paranoid Android, ect). However that's now what's going on here. We are bypassing it altogether. Allowing us to still run that code, only not running it through the official bootloader. However, our phone's partition may be different from yours so the same process. Might wanna check elseware for the phone's recovery.

CM11 isn't AOSP however the overall experience is dang near close. It's exactly like AOSP but... Better. Recovery bypass is being worked on. Be patient.

I'm patient:) if help is needed (testers) I volunteer as tribute!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crutchcorn:
Patience. They're working hard on it and it's coming along from what I've heard. CWM is a custom recovery. There is no CWM11, although there is CM11 which is Cyanogenmod 11, a custom rom based off of KitKat. Using CWM, we can bypass the bootloader and make custom roms for the phone, as example the CM10 the dev of bootloader bypass has compiled.

We currently do know this. This is part of the bootloader lock. The bypass will fix it.

---------- Post added at 10:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:51 PM ----------

Just be warned that the bypass is made for the MSM323, not the D325. So the partitions may not be the same. Be cautious as well as this may brick your phone. Before following the (to be posted) instructions, I'd ask the dev about it. It'd suck to loose your phone cause of a misunderstanding.

However, yes - other than that everything that I've said is all facts about roms and bootloaders in general and it WOULDN'T make sense to do so. Can't imagine development being too far away after bypass.

That is what I was thinking, why would someone waste the time to build cm10 for a phone with no way to get it on there to even test.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidAddict||AA:
Because that person said he unlocked the bootloader. Idk, they never showed me or anyone else proof so (that I know of). Even if they did, why would they build a jellybean ROM for a kitkat device? All seems a bit weird to me. I assure you and everyone else, we are working very hard and things like this take some time, I accidently opened my mouth about it a little sooner than I should have lol. All in good time though, as long as I own this device, I will continue to try and make something useful for it's users ;)

WiFi work around!

I'm using "mHotspot" but this has worked on other apps. I have *root* But this is a no *root* app...so. Im using The Chrome browser!

All I did was download the Chrome extension "User-Agent Switcher"

(1) Download the app from the play store, Set up your wifi hotspot.

(2) Start up app, connect to hotspot.

(3) Open Chrome on your connecting device, Click on the user agent switcher icon on the toolbar and change it from Default to "internet explorer 7"

Refresh your browser and the annoying "Subscribe To Metro Hotspot" is gone. This works on My laptop not sure about other devices? Hope it helps!

If its stuck at the metroPCS screen do a factory reset to see if it works

1. Turn device off

2.

Hold volume - then press power .. once you see the lg logo unpress both volume- and power and then do it again

3. click on yes to factory reset and it should resolve

First off, I just want to say how fabulous Airdroid is, and I thank you for your development of it.

Secondly, there isn't an issue with Airdroid not working; it's trying to get around the tether limitations with Metro PCS. Somehow they were able to recognize and block outgoing data after a week of using the (beta) hotspot, and tether feature. There are no problems but here is my device settings as requested:

Also, I think that if we can disable the built in tether app, we will have better success. I don't know if it's necessary for it to run to have our other tethering apps to work or not, but it's worth a shot.

I have looked in ROM Toolbox's app manager but I haven't found anything with the version number the native tethering app says it is. I wasn't sure what the upsell app was, but I froze it a while back and nothing has changed.

Dalvik-cache wouldnt help. I know i only clear my caches once or twice a week and its fixed this problem for me before. I use the app called link2sd with a 2gig ext4 partition on my sd card that helps a lot on space. Another app i use is Folder Mount for the large apps that use the emulated sd card.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jma9454:
So as far as tethering goes, I have possibly found a way through. It's currently not working for me, but I want people to try it out and let me know.

In your APN settings (settings-> tethering and networks->mobile networks->access point names->menu key), create a new APN with the same exact details as the original but add ",dun" to APN Type, and change APN protocol to IPv4.

Also, if someone can edit their settings.db at the very end tether _dun_required and set to 0, and reboot to see if it stays at 0 or if it reverts like mine back to 1
