Root Repartition Internal memory

Messed up partitions Solved ☺
Couldn't have done this without all the brilliant help from: @Kamil Mazik, @DevMyAndroid, @Shahell Salvin Deo and @crutchcorn ☺

Thank you so much guys!!!

Even before this problem, I never solved the restoring of laf (download mode), but thanks to Kamil Mazik's recommendation to flash an older twrp:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByEz7OmJjgdcdkFSRUFMWG9GNEE/view?usp=sharing

it worked ☺ Well the actual flashing of the laf.img worked before, but now the download mode works ☺

I'm not sure if it matters, but crutchcorn shared the proper ms323 laf.img if needed:

laf.img (ms323)
https://mega.co.nz/#!5h93lRyJ!3T_woM7e2W8xB8jNA4MPsSaOfEPe1cNhIzClv2aCHH4

And then the flashing of ms32310c works at last:

LG flash tool

And please, straight after unlocking bootloader, restore laf, so you'll keep download mode - it makes everything so much easier (in case of brick)

And after rooting and unlocking bootloader (again, puh) the repartition worked flawlessly with PhilZ recovery thanks to Shahell Salvin Deo's post:

Have in mind that if you want to restore a ROM backup after repartition, make sure your backed up system aren't bigger than the repartition makes it and also, I think it's important that the ROM backup was made with the same recovery that you will restore it with.

I'm obviously not 100% sure I found the best ways here, I'm just a noob trying to follow advice ☺

Good luck ☺

Hey guys. Running this script went wrong, possibly beacuse i didnt read enough information about doing this stuff. It went wrong on step two. I didnt save what console was saying when step two was going on, but i remember saying it didnt have a su (root) access, it is propably beacuse i tried doing it from wrong recovery (twrp v2.8.6.0).

After halfway done script i tried to install CM12(previous rom) and it is locked in animation of boot (CM logo, not lg logo). I had problem with entering recovery again, beacuse adb is "unauthorized" or "offline" and key combo didnt work from start (yep i know i should do something about it sonner ...) but then miracle happen and when i pressed powerbutton+downvolume, release it and press it again i get into factory reset menu, i pressed yes 2 times and i booted me into recovery.

I tried to install another recovery via install button (image) but it didnt work, i couldnt mount data or cache. I tried to flash laf (i dont know what is it, but i tried ... i am ****ing moron, i tried to flash it into recovery, not boot option). when i do adb devices and mtp is disabled my computer dont see my phone and when mtp is enabled it is offline

Summarize: Can get into recovery, can put stuff in external sd card, cant get authorized, adb not working (propably beacuse of recovery), messed up partitions. How i can get out of that stuff? Can anybody help me?

Sorry for poor english, this is propably longest piece of text that i wrote in english.

edit: does this "factory reset" screen is download mode or fastboot?

edit2: this factory reset is just a factory reset screen, not a download mode or fastboot.
If you want to go to download mode: (or fastboot if you replace it, "laf" i know what it is now)
Turn off your phone, hold volume up, connect usb cable. And you are in download mode or fastboot or whatever you have put at mount point.
I will try to flash stock software. If i can find it of course -.-

edit3: success, i will try tommorrow to flash CM and repartition script

Sounds like you went through my disaster, hehe ☺☺☺

Did you solve it in the end?
 
Right now i have fully working CM12 with 2.6GB internal storage. Thank you for replays to others people question, even if you didnt help me by replaying to, others post on this forum help me better understand what I am doing and why.
My problems was not enough drivers in my computer and very slight chance of wrong recovery. I also didnt know combo key for download mode.
Researching on my own and dealing with this problem will probably help my in future. So once again Thanks.
@nyttliv7 Your thread/problem was a lot of help to me. It helped me realize it is not a bricked phone, just my partition system was messed up and i need to just repair it.
In the end i think ... i shouldn't buy this phone, could have wait for better offer or wait for paycheck.
 
Glad your solved it @kociak0, but don't thank me... This are the guys who saved/helped me:

I had the same problem...
If I remember right it was the choice of driver that sorted it out. In the end the Google adb driver worked for me (ms323)...

@Kamil Mazik gave me the following adviced when phone was not showing/unauthorized:


"Install this TWRP:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByEz7OmJjgdcdkFSRUFMWG9GNEE/view?usp=sharing

This recovery haven`t adb security(unauthorized error)."


And if you read this thread properly you would have found @Shahell Salvin Deo's recommendation:

"I have successfully installed it on my LG L70 D320n with CM12 (I have Factory reset my phone using LG Flash Tool 2 times, meaning download mode, root and boot unlock all again from stock.) But here is what I have learned from experience.

prerequisites :LG Drivers, Java (both standard and Development 32 bit even if on 64bit Windows OS), ADB, fastboot and drivers (newest v1.4.2) from here"http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979" (remember to install drivers with it), and most importantly CM12 Rom installed with PhilZ recovery (recommended).

Step 1 : after you have all the requirements enable Android Debugging in Smartphone and plug into Computer.

Step 2 : goto My Computer, System Properties, Device manager, expand the first "Android Device tap", right click whats expanded (under it), click "update drivers", "browse my computer for drivers", "Let me pick......" at bottom of window, unselect "show compatible hardware", then chose "Google, Inc." as manufacturer and "Android ADB Interface" as model.click next, yes and done.

Step3 : Reboot to recovery, make backup, make sure USB storage is not mounted, run the CM12 script.

Step 4 : After the script has successfully installed, you will see that Cache, and data won't be mounting, next go to PhilZ, "Wipe and format", click "wipe User Media", and then "Custom format Options", "format /data and /data/media". then you will be able to mount cache and data. (this is why I have recommended PhilZ recovery as it has advanced format options)

Step 5 : Then take your usual steps to wipe, format, restore or install cm12."
