Root Official CyanogenMod 13.0 for LG L70 D320 D320n D325 MS323

Thanks Mystery_Flasher for answering my questions. Since we both have the same model(D320N) could you please help me with unlocking my bootloader? I followed this: http://androidforums.com/threads/lg-l70-tips-and-tricks-video-guides.920174/ for rooting my device and now that I want to unlock my bootloader it refers me to this:http://androidforums.com/threads/unlock-lg-l70-bootloader-unlock.862585/ It's just that I am uncertain if this thread for unlocking my bootloader also works on D320N. In addition to that, I'm troubled about what vm03 said in his initial post about making sure I have correct bootloader(aboot.bin)Do you have perhaps another thread guide to refer me to about bootloader unlocking(for D320N)??
And one more thing:Should I install the latest nightly or an older one?
Thanks again for your help. :D

I'm 99% sure I used this method, but it was like 2 year ago :)

You can replace stockrecoverymod.img file from this package with any other recovery before using the commands (just rename it accordingly). CWM is very old and not suitable for installing CM13. Download the latest ([TWRP] [MS323, D320n, D325] Team Win Recovery Pro 3.0) and rename it to stockrecoverymod.img or flash CWM and replace it later with Flashify app or from the CWM itself. I say again: DON'T TRY TO USE CWM recovery to flash CM13 :)

What VM03 said is right in this package. By using these ADB command you actually replace your aboot with a proper patched one and stock recovery with a custom one.

After using these commands your bootloader should be unlocked and recovery updated to the latest one.

BTW: I'm not saying the unlocking thread you've seen is not OK, but I just never tried it, so I've given you a tested way ;)
 
If we have some Xposed fans here, I can recommend this module.

I use it to display weather widget on a CM13 lockscreen, but you can also place any other widgets you like. As we all know, using widgets on a locksreen is impossible on a clean CM13 or CM12.1. :)

Unfortunately the file in that thread can't be dowloaded(bootloader). I also tried this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/root-lg-d320-misc-l70-devices-root-guide-t3177853
but it didn't do anything(I felt like I almosted bricked my phone). Does anyone else know how to unlock bootloader in D320N? Any help is appreciated. thanks

You should try this http://androidforums.com/threads/unlock-lg-l70-bootloader-unlock.862585/, then :)
I suspect it will work just fine. It does the same job, but gives you a user-friendly menu.
It's kinda hard, to hard-brick this phone, trust me ;)

The thread I've given you has a link to this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53966360&postcount=3

There's a source of "my" method and a working Google Drive link ;)

Ok I think I'll try it. But before I do that I read this:https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/...unlocking-bootloader-on-oxygen-os-opx.417946/ It says that you can flash a recovery(TWRP) using a google play store app "Rashr", without unlocking bootloader. Wouldn't this be applicable in any device? If not rashr, could I download my D320N TWRP recovery and flash it using Flashify?? And then backup, wipe...etc. and install CM13? This sounds a lot easier. I hope you tell me its possible. :)

Attention!!!

Next CM13 nightly build will request min 1100 Mbytes system partitions.

Because I'm new at this, does this mean we'll encounter problems when installing a nightly? Will I have to do something before I install CM13?

Unlocking bootloader is required - it's a fact. If you don't unlock it before flashing the recovery, you'll get boot certification error when trying to enter recovery. It will become useless. Don't try some other tricks, just stick to the methods from here. Rashr is not an option for LG L70. This thread is for L70 and tips from here are the simplest ones.
Fashify is good for replacing recoveries, that's why I told you about it, but unlock your bootloader first :confused:

Vm03 talks about re-partitioning an internal memory - it's a whole different thing. If you haven't done anything to your partition sizes, don't bother with this message ;)

I also reccommend the module Android N-fy lets you make your recents apps list just like Android n and also the new N notification wich lets you quickly reply(next build) just search in xposed downloads

well then, I need to reverted the partition back to stock, right?
Click to expand...

Luckily, no ;)
Use the newest Vladimir's partition table tool to change your system partition. Going back to stock would mean having 1,5 GB system partition and a huge cache partition, witch is greatly reduced by the tool. After 1.04 version partitioning you still get a decent space for data and almost none for cache (which we don't use).

Firstly, thank you very much for trying to help me, I appreciate it.
So in order to unlock my bootloader(D320N) I have to follow instructions here?:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53966360&postcount=3 I suppose that aboot.bin and the other files in the google drive link are appropriate for D320?? I replaced CWM_L70_V2.img with TWRP from here: http://vasy.ru/TWRP/w5/ but when I run the adb.exe from the files I extracted it only opens runs a thousands commands and closes after 1,5 seconds without anything happening.

Before launching adb, make sure that :
  1. Your phone is rooted
  2. You installed SuperSu from Play Store and it's working
  3. Your phone is connected to a pc using USB debugging. You may turn USB debugging on in developers settings

Again nothing happens. I extracted the zip in an empty folder, I replaced the CWM_L70_V2.img with twrp-3.0.2-0-20160407-w5.img which I then renamed to stockrecoverymod.img and when I run adb.exe from the files I extracted(even with admin run), it opens a command prompt with rapidly appearing commands(50+ lines) and it closes 0,83 seconds after I opened it. The phone is rooted and supersu was installed along with the rooting process and I updated it from the google play store, usb debugging is enabled and granted this computer permission, I tried switching between charge only, MTP, PTP nothing worked. Could avast antivirus(on the phone) be responsible for this? If you don't have any other suggestions Mystery_Flasher, I'll simply continue using stock ROM. It's ok, thank you again for all your help. :D

You use adb in a wrong way :p
You should enter the folder when it's placed and run cmd by using right mouse button and left shift. There should be an option called Run command prompt here, etc. From there you type all the commands or copy-paste them.

So, opening exe is not a proper way this time :D
