Root [PhilZ] [MS323, D320N, D325] PhilZ Recovery v6.57.9

What about fastboot flash laf? Fastboot works fine when you flash something on top of it. Wouldn't it just rely on the update-script? Or maybe, a bash inside the zip? I'm not saying anyone one is right, just saying idk and this caught my interest.

PhilZ Recovery
This recovery is for the LG L70 (MS323). It has been tested and works 100%.

DISCLAIMER: I am not responsible for anything that can happen to your device when using this. Your phone = Your responsibility. Your bootloader must be unlocked to use this.

NOTE: Some L70 devices have been reported to not boot to recovery with the device powered down, just a heads up for anyone that hasn't tried it. Be sure that your device is able to boot to recovery from power off, if it doesn't then restore your laf partition and you will have to unbrick if you brick instead of restoring a backup.

Instructions:

Fastboot users

Download the recovery.img to your computer and open up terminal or command prompt and cd to the directory where the recovery.img is.

Example:
Windows
Code: 
cd Downloads
Linux
Code: 
cd ~/Downloads
Now that you are in the recovery.img's directory, boot into fastboot mode by powering off the device, from power off, plug in your usb, power on the device, as soon as it starts to boot, release the power button and hold volume up until in fastboot mode.

Now in terminal or command prompt, type:
Code: 
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Reboot
Code: 
fastboot reboot
Once booted, go download this awesome app to make rebooting to recovery easy, HERE

People who restored the laf partition, follow these steps:

Place the recovery.img in the root of your internal sd card.

Open up command prompt or terminal and type:
Code: 
adb shell
Code: 
su
Now it is time to overwrite your stock recovery with cwm, type:
Code: 
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
That's it, download this awesome app to reboot to recovery HERE

Keep in mind, when rebooting from recovery, it will ask you to do 2 things, select no for the first option and select yes for fix root or you will lose your root. To boot to recovery power off device, power on the device, and wait until it gets to the dim LG logo and try to interrupt the long vibration by pressing volume down a few times, if done correctly, your phone will stop the first boot and start another one that boots you to recovery. Timing is key so it might take a few tries

Aroma File Manager And Terminal
Aroma File Manager And Terminal is a lifesaver, allowing you to use a file manager and terminal right from recovery. It's even theme-able! Here are some screens:

In order to install Aroma, you just have to flash this file:

That's it!

As per the norm, credit does not go to me but rather

Just thought I'd share, was never given it's own thread. I also totally copied + pasted Chevan's OG CWM thread. (If anyone else worked on this, let me know)

hello there, I have 2 questions.. :)
Im newbie in all this 'android things' and need to know something..
1. is recovery.img packed inside boot.img, I mean your recovery.img have kernel in it? :)
2. can I replace Philz Touch with Download Mode/Fastboot/Recovery, or that file is flashed only on one specific place? (want to use some other key combos for calling Philz from turned off device, if possible?) :)

No worries mate.
1. No.
2. The only keycombo we have been able to get is done by overwriting the laf.img - this allows you to boot into PhilZ upon VolUp+Power+USBPluggedIn
 
Thank for your reply @crutchcorn !
1. I asked this, because when I do nandroid backup with PhilZ, my boot.img and recovery.img is same size, about 22mb, but original Carbon Rom 4.4.4 boot.img is 8mb. why is that happening? :)
2. Hmm, when I overwrite laf.img, what default action from it will I kill - Download Mode? I use Download Mode when use LG Flash Tool with stock .kdz firmwares. There will no be sideeffects if PhilZ is my default laf.img? :)
Sorry for my bad english! :)

1. Does it boot at all? If it works then IDK... I have some ideas but fear being stupid. :P
2. Firmware B and C are flashable from PhilZ in one way or another. Because of this - you don't need Download mode. You can always restore your laf.img if you need to

Had a realm once, got my money back real fast. I think theres a thread for the Realm now if anyone if not make one :) or go get a real l70 variant! Ms323 $80 right now in white!!

So I never found out who is the fella I can thank for philz on l70? If ever there was a recovery worthy of the "Nobel" Prize for a mobile recovery, id claim right to it, and gift it to them.

***** 100 100 100 A+++

-ps my overall scores for philz..
not hex, binary, or comping-language ha I need sleep
