Rooting the LG Optimus L70​

Welcome, all! So, I'm gonna just get straight to the point. There's a way to root Metro PCS's LG Optimus L70 (MS323).

(This can also work with almost any android phone, by the way)

***I have tested this out on my ms323, it works, and everything's fine even with a reboot***

The only slight concern I have is that it may cause a small speed decrease in your phone (hardly noticeable a few secs after first reboot),

but still works at least!

Now, to make this seem more "real", I'm posting screenshots from my phone. The instructions should overall be the same for other phones.

**Also, the only way for this exploit to work, is if you have a kernel build date prior to June 3rd, 2014. To check, go to settings -> about phone, and check where it says kernel version, and look for the date. My phone just says 3.4.0+, and still worked (should be the same for people using this phone). If you're using any other phone, it should show the date. **

1) Go to your phone's settings -> Security

[IMG="Security"]http://gdriv.es/ms323_root/Security.png[/IMG]

2) Enable Unknown sources (have the box checked.

[IMG="unknown sources"]http://gdriv.es/ms323_root/Unknown sources.png[/IMG]

3) Now, go to your phone's browser, and go to towelroot (dot) com . I may not be able to post links yet :silly:

4) Click the weird-looking red sign in the middle, and a tr.apk should begin downloading.

[IMG="red sign thingy"]http://gdriv.es/ms323_root/Red sign thingy.png[/IMG]

**If your phone thinks its malware, ignore it. The app uses a system exploit and makes the kernel crash; during this, the system automatically gives root access to any app, regardless of if it should. If you wanna know more, just look up "geohot towel root". **

5) Now, use a file manager to find the apk in your downloads, or (easiest :P), drag down the notification bar and click the download.

[IMG="download"]http://gdriv.es/ms323_root/download.png[/IMG]

6) Google will show a warning pop-up that you shouldn't install it, just click the checkbox and install it anyway.

[IMG="warning"]http://gdriv.es/ms323_root/google warning.png[/IMG]

7) Now click "make it ra1n", and you're rooted! Simple as that, no reboot required :). *Note that some devices may fail in using this exploit, sorry if you're one of those :(

*Optional

Download Root checker, and press verify root, congrats if you're rooted!

Thanks for reading, I hope this will help you all! :) :)

I'm sorry to hear that, but not ALL phones will work with this exploit. Forgot to mention that, sorry :(

Have you tried framaroot and/or motochopper?

Towelroot...Yes! Working on my LG L70.

Not sure what to with it yet as a newbie, but I easily foowed directive via towelroot and now rooted!

Thank you! Are the any roms to flash?
[Android General] CuriousUser:
Right now, I dont believe there are, sorry. :( I think this is due to thr phone having a secured/encrypted bootloader, and also partly because the phone is relatively new. There aren't many things you can do with it right now other than use root apps.
[Android General] cyrus-king:
hi guys.

it will works on lg l70 dual(d325)?

thanks.

Optimus L70

I just rooted my LG Optimus L70 with Towelroot and it worked great. I had been trying to find a way to root the phone and all I could find was that it couldn't be rooted due to the boot loader being locked. I found out about Towelroot and its amazing how easy it is. I root a lot of phones for people and this is by far the easiest program to use:D
[Android General] Peach.Pit88:
I used this , and my root was confirmed. The problem i have is when I use Root File Explorer to delete some stock apk's, they wont delete. The file explorer says that the delete was successful but the apk does not delete?
[Android General] Marty_Since87:
This was the easiest root I've ever done, I just wish this phone had a rom.
[Android General] DarkJohn55:
Awesome

Worked for me on my new phone i bought a few days ago but with no reboot rooted live either way i checked it with root checker said i was then rebooted to make sure and rechecked everything checked out a-ok! thanks for the tutorial btw I am new member to this site. lol ;P
[Android General] calistar881:
last commenter is just a hater...

Worked just fine for me, first try, no complications at all... Thanx for the how to help guys, you're always the best for that.

Problem using towelroot!!

HI,

I Installed towelroot and I installed SUPERUSER SU, But my hotspot stopped working AFTER I was able to use it for 5 months when i got this phone. I have the LG70 MS323, Now when i try to use the hotspot it brings up a metro/ tmobile page that says I need to upgrade my phone to get hotspot? I place a root on the phone so that i can acess the hot spot without being charged by tmobile/metropcs. How can i do this? I still have towellroot but it doesn't work to hide the phone and I no longer can use hotspot without TMOBILE/ METRO BLOCKING IT. I got this phone to hack it and use hotspot with out paying the crazy price they are asking me to pay. Please help. or please advise to how I fix this.

Thanks

I just got my metropcs LG Optimus L70 I tried using the towelroot apk and I still can not get my phone rooted I was wondering if I'm missing somthing or maybe a way around this
[Android General] CuriousUser:
Lately there's been a bunch of software updates for the Optimus L70. I think that may be causing the problem. But you might also have to enable USB debugging, I forgot to put that in the first post >.< can't believe it.

Go to settings -> about phone -> software information, and tap the build number part until it says you are now a developer.

Then go back to settings, and go to developer options.

Make sure the box that says USB debugging has a checkmark (is enabled). If that doesn't work, I'm not sure how to fix it yet.

[Android General] ..............:
The towelroot method no longer works on the l70, due to firmware 10c you would have to flash 10b with the lg flash tool.
[Android General] bogarty:
I have the opposite problem. I rooted the L70 with towelroot while having firmware version 10b just fine, but now it keeps nagging me to update to 10c. I download it every time and it appears to install, but after it reboots it's still at 10b. Can I force the update somehow since I already have root or am I stuck with these notifications? Thank you!
[Android General] JPL Ace:
Thanks from a newbe

I must thank you for this clear and careful tutorial. Although I have an LG L34C and it does not quite work the same I can see how to do it now. The phone makers and carriers keep changing the phones as they dont really want the head aches of fixing bricks we make by accident. So it is a moving target. Looks like at the end of this thread many were not able to do the root due to an upgrade in the system (10c?).

But I sure am happy someone took the time to lay this out so clearly.
[Android General] miguellara15:
LGMS32310c wont update!! :(

If you updated your phone to the latest firmware, im sorry but that update prevents root. :crying: The only way to root that phone is to revert your phone to MS32310b. Hopefully you guys have not updated your phone.

Problem after rooting with towelroot

After flashing my LG L70 ms323 (Metro PCS) with the rom MS32310b_00.kdz., the root with towelroot went very well, with the exception that I continually get an error "unfortunately google search has stopped". I reflashed the c rom and the error message went away but so did the root. Reflashed again with the b room and had the same error message. I even tried another b rom from another source but that made no difference. Does anyone know how to get google search to not stop after flashing with the b rom and rooting with towelroot?

There is no reason to downgrade as there are new root methods that work with this phone (And just about any LG phone) with KK-Lollipop

I have read all of the topics on here and the rest of the internet and so far nothing seems to work, I soft-bricked my phone, I can boot into download and recovery fine, but even if i flash a old backup i cant get past the bootloop, Ive bricked my phone many times before and always recovered from it, but now if I run the LG Flash Tools I get a "failedPreviousLoad()" error, Ive even followed guides that i knew worked, is there something i am over looking? this is my only phone so i cannot afford to lose it, odd that it works halfway though. any help would be greatly appreciated
[Sprint LG G2] jcwxguy:
try uninstalling lg flash tool and removing all files associated with it (DO NOT GET RID OF THE TOT FILE)

then make sure there are no registery errors, after which, reboot your computer and reinstall the software like before.
[Sprint LG G2] MCWizard111:
does the software leave any registry keys behind when uninstalled? i cant find any

EDIT: just tried after a reinstall and still same error, i took a screenshot, but i cant upload it here
[Sprint LG G2] MCWizard111:
i have even tried the support tools, but those require a kdz file and i read that the ls980 doesnt have one of those
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] akulp:
Since TC has stopped developing is there any good alternative?

I know, that some kernels support tap to wake, but I'm looking for a solution in both cases, wake and lock.

Especially I miss slide to wake and slide to lock.

Thanks for help.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Overdose1986:
Hellscore + hellscore kernel manager works like touch control

For locking the screen I use a navbar shortcut
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] akulp:
Tnx, but i'm still looking for app with that future, not kernel.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Sgace:
For screenlock i use knock lock app from Play Store.

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] sss_ddk:
I have bricked kernel with swipe2wake and swipe2lock activated. a life changer :)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] nattesh:
actually i still use touch control with 4.4.4 and franco kernel r209.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] QNBT:
What? When did that happen (and why)? :eek:

edit: The app page is still up and running (for now) but I just noticed it wasn't there when searching the play store.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.paranoid.touchcontrol

edit2: Seems like it's only available if you bought the app.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] akulp:
Yes, you can bought app, but it's offically end of dev. So there won't be any updates...

Ok, maybe works with 4.4 on franco, but not with other kernels...
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] spicediablo:
I'm also looking for an alternative app without switching to other kernels. I'm on Franco now
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] yanleites:
It's based on Franco 209, works great, I can tell you it's even better then TC - Better battery and easier to disable !

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] akulp:
Yeah, but as I see, this is only dobule tap to wake.

I'm looking for slide to lock/wake...all in one app.

Touch control was great for that...
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] yanleites:
1. Screen off and lock.

2. GravityBox screen off using home button or status bar.

3. Many more apps...

4. Greenify last version shortcut for HIBERNATE + SCREEN OFF.

I have had a similar problem and found a fix, I was trying to flash a modem using a "longer" than normal USB cable in a USB2.0 port this failed every time.

I then used a "standard" length cable (1mtr) which was in a USB3.0 port which worked on the first go. I don't know if it was the 2mtr cable or it was the USB3.0 port, I believe it was the cable because the port on the S4 is only USB2.0!!!!!!!!

I hope this helps.

[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
Part of the issue around permanent root of the X revolves around the X's write protection. Once you gain root, any changes that you can make wont stay due to write protection.

A new bypass for write protection needs to be found.

The write protection appears to be enabled BEFORE the OS loads (based on comments from Beaups in the MotoWpNoMo thread when he found out that 4.4.2 change the GPT.BIN, Motoboot, and something in the partitioning), so any write protection bypass likely wont come from being rooted in the OS.
