Root [UNLOCK] LG L70 Bootloader Unlock

It has been confirmed working on D320n, as for recovery, it was specifically built for the MS323, so I cant tell you if it will work or not
 
ok, what the heck am I missing? I did the step by step but it keeps booting into download mode not fastboot.

Is USB debugging enabled and are the phone drivers installed?

I dont get it. Gone over this many times but it is still taking me to download mode. I do have debug enabled and drivers installed. From the command window, can you show me what it needs to look like if done properly? From P1 WINDOW USERS: Last sentence " Be sure to pay attention.....to make sure you are not having any problems", well I will admit, I am lost. How do I know if I had any problems with it? Sorry for not understanding but just like all of you, I WANT this bootloader unlock so I can move on to the next steps. Please help if you can.

alright, try it this way:

From your computer with the device plugged in, open command prompt and follow these instructions to zero out the partition:

Code: 
adb shell
then type
Code: 
su
Once that is done, make a backup of your stock partition:
Code: 
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/laf of=/sdcard/Download/laf.img
Once that is done, it is time to zero out the partition:
Code: 
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/laf
When all that is done, proceed to part 2 of the guide. If for any reason when you start on part 2 of the guide and you type "fastboot devices" and it hangs on waiting for device, you need to install the generic fastboot driver from my original post

The top WILL say download mode, then underneath it will say fastboot.
 
WELLLLL, I think I did it. Thank you all. NOW, do I or should I do this part "That is it, you are now unlocked Keep in mind that download mode is now gone, so if your brick then fastboot is your only option. If you would like to restore download mode as soon as you unlock your device, you can do this:

cd to the directory where your backup of the laf partition is
Code:


And how do I know if it is done correctly? And what do I do to finalize the process? Do I just turn phone off, just unplug, hit volume up, whisper sexy words to the phone, what?

You gotta say to the phone in much detail how much you love it, then and only then will your device love you back and never brick on you :dancing: :rolleyes: ;)

You should do the last part because people have been somehow unable to restore download mode.

You will know that it is restored when download mode looks different next time you boot into it.

After restoring the laf partition, you should be able to run:
Code: 
fastboot continue
and it should boot into download mode.

If it shows an error, reboot into fastboot again, run:
Code: 
fastboot erase laf
fastboot flash laf laf.img
fastboot continue


If it still doesn't work post here please.
 
STUMPED!
cd to the directory where your backup of the laf partition is
Code:
cd ~/Desktop/bootloader_unlock_part1

Man, I really SUCK at this!

Um, are you using windows or linux and in which folder is the extracted folder?

I'm really tempted to just make my own scripts now.
 
So if I'm right...since sucessfully unlocking my boot loader...is it OK to pretty much delete anything without bricking or bootlooping? I mean like just apps and features I really don't need as long as it can still surf, text, and talk etc right? I remember when the motion got Loki for bypassing the bootloader, I was able to delete google books, stand, magazines without it bricking or looping (people said they had issues after deleting them...) And was just trying to make sure it was the same concept....sorry for any confusion guys been out of the community for the longest time starting a family and all...

Unlocking the boot loader allows you to install unauthorized firmware. Root is used to delete all the junk the carrier and manufacture installed. to prevent a boot loop install cwm (now that you have an unlocked boot loader) and make a backup so if anything goes wrong you have a backup to restore to working condition :)
 
Yep thanks! Its a totally different cwm to me just because of the touch screen availability now but I'm so used to using the buttons I just forget about touch screen... But yes I accidentally backed up to the internal and it failed and filled up my storage so I ended up going back in to cwm and delete from internal and flashed to external

Why do I keep getting this? I have adb and fastboot installed and I also made sure my phone was in charge mode

I kept getting that my first few tries until I downloaded all the correct drivers and it went smooth... After I downloaded them my phone would get a few messages etc saying am I sure I want to keep the phone in debug mode etc I aid yes... Ran the adb stuff as directed and boom! Worked for me so try drivers and making sure debug mode is on?
