Ok
I want to try but can Is there any chance to brick my device.
Can you explain me what is zero out laf ?

adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/laf"

Can I relock bootloader after unlocking ?
 
Thank you MikeHoncho and the rest who contributed to this thread. Waited for this to happen.

To those who had difficulty in getting to fastboot mode, make sure PHONE have root,busybox,usb debug on, plug in to pc as charge only. For PC adb and fastboot (in bootloader.zip og MikeHoncho), installed CT_Hs_General_Driver and the WHLxxxxLG driver.
Follow all steps then when phone cannot enter into fastboot mode (Press Volume Up then plug in usb to phone) with errors, check your PC Device Manager and look for Android device. Update driver by browsing to CT_Hs_General_Driver folder. Thasts it. Hope this helped.

I have screenshots but being new user, I cant post yet.

Once you done with bootloader...you might want to try this post about CWM Recovery. This worked for my LG D325.

how did you get download mode back? im having the same problem
Click to expand...
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

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

this way i got my download mode back
if it still doesn't work post here please.

Hello Everyone! I'm new here to Phandroid boards, but you guys are the only cats that have some tech knowledge of this phone I just bought.

I'm not a newbie to rooting and unlocking, this would be phone number 20 for me.

Here is the problem I'm having - everytime I run ADB it says su not found yet the laf partition is complete.

Its running 4.4.2, MS32310c software version, Kernel 3.4.0+. In the one day I've had this phone, I havent been able to flash, root, nor unlock the bootloader, which I'm told I must do now to root the thing. Got it straight out the box yesterday.

Does anyone have a handle on what can be done?

I have followed the instructions and nothing.

Pretty sure you need MS32310b/a to get root and su permissions. I got the update and had to flash back from 10c to 10b to get root. Did you update to c or is your stock v10c?
 
Hello, I am new to using adb and am curious as to how I do this

"Open Command prompt or terminal and cd to the same directory as your scripts"

Thank you in advance

Did you type:
Code: 
adb shell
then:
Code: 
su
before running those commands?

Sorry for the late reply. I think I see where you messed up.

You ran these commands:
Code: 
dd if=/sdcard/aboot.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6
dd if=/sdcard/stockrecoverymod.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17

Run these instead:
Code: 
dd if=/sdcard/aboot.bin of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/mmcblk0p6
dd if=/sdcard/stockrecoverymod.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/mmcblk0p17
 
Running ububtu 14.04....
If its in 'charge phone' and not MTP system will not recognize device
LGMS323
4.4.2
MS32310c

No key combo brings me to recovery...(occasionally i get safe mode)
At prompt
'adb reboot recovery'...boots phone into normal mode
As does $ adb fastboot
Also have the supersu no binary issue (downloaded Update-SuperSu-v1.80) but not sure where to extract to

Towelroot and iroot (vroot) do not work

All this after last OTA (even after factory reset)

Vroot worked previously from a winxp machine prior to OTA but no longer (different winxp box)

Downgrade to firmware B, you can find it in the unbrick post. Once that is done, try everything you did again
 
well Mike...Flash tool didn't work...couldn't downgrade my firmware...i make it to the second screen and it kicks me back to the first screen, no country selection screen etc...
starting to wonder what a bucket of warm water will do :)
using winxp box...got the newest drivers today from LG, the flashtool from the unbrick forum...cest la vive i suppose

UPDATE mon 1632: rebooted winxp box (just for shiits and giggles)...low and behold flash tool is aworking!!!
success -downgraded to 10b
rooted with iroot- verified root withing iroot, rootchecker basic from playstore and (most importantly) copied files to external SD card via ES file explorer

THANKS for the help and all the great work
