Root LG L70: All Things Root Guide (Updated Daily!)

I have a Cricket L70, and I have the D321 ROM. I can't find anything anywhere on how to use it to unroot my phone, and from what I can see, using the methods here won't work. Any ideas where else I can look or what I might do? IIRC the last time I rooted a phone all I had to do was factory reset it (a Samsung Galaxy S 4G - the first Galaxy 4G phone, not the S4). Obviously, that doesn't work with the LG.
 
I've learned something. I used SuperSU to unroot - and it appears to have worked. Programs that require root won't work, and programs that check for root say my phone is not rooted. But either Cricket or LG has set a flag on their servers so that if I reset the phone and try to upgrade it (there are two updates to perform) I get a message saying my phone is suspected of being rooted so it cannot be updated. Which I suspect is against the law, per the SCOTA decision against Apple that said the purchaser of a phone has the right to root it, and the manufacturer cannot alter functionality because the consumer has rooted the phone.

It has nothing to do with servers, don't worry.
After you have flashed stock rom, enter download mode. If it say rooted in red letters, just do factory reset via key combo, and all traces of root will be gone. You can later check definitive root status if you enter download mode again, it should say not rooted in green letters.
Now, IDK if key combo for factory reset is the same for d321, but for other variants it goes like this:
Turn off the phone. Press and hold vol down and press and hold power button. Once you see lg logo immediately release power key and press and hold it again (all this time you're still holding vol down). Then confirm the factory reset, and you're good to go. It may take several tries until you do it right.

Exactly. If the server did block you (which isn't possible). Then it's the carrier's fault. Since Cricket is an MVNO of AT&T. AT&T is A HUGE STICKLER when it comes to rooting, rom flashing, and all of rom development in general. So is Verizon.
 
I think I have the backup of my stock Rom but the problem is I have accidentally missed it in with a couple other backups before I thought to rename it, so if someone can knows how to find out which Rom is in a backup I would seriously appreciate it and gladly share. I tried digging all through each one looking for a hint of any kind but no dice

Its not like the kdz. Its just the system.img and boot.img that your flashing. TWRP will be fine, make sure you flash supersu.zip so you have root.

The mega link says the file has been removed sooo... Wah wah wah....so if I find my stock backup which I just might have, should I remove the recovery img. from it so I don't overwrite twrp? Yes I know I'm such a sissy about losing my twrp lol oohhh wait...I have no clue if I had 10b or c when I originally flashed the first ROM. I used kingroot then Supresume then flashified da twrp and after trying carbon ROM as my first, so I didn't even consider using the stock again and forgot to name the damn file lol oops

I don't think you can just go straight to simplicity, I tried and no dice then I was told you have to go through a process which looked a lil more complicated for me
