Root Unofficial CyanogenMod 12 for LG L70 D320 D320n D325

Not open for further replies.
Now Im using xposed and it's fully working for me.. There's any module to move my apps to external? Or exactly install location.. How about remove internal like cm11?
 
Try to reflash modem partition from various version of stok. I don't have more idea why keymate files don't open... :(

So I flashed CM11, `adb pull`ed the /firmware/image, then flashed CM12, got `adb root`, remounted /firmware as read-write, `adb push`ed the old CM11 /firmware/image - this didn't work :(

I'm going to try to reflash the original/stock firmware later and get /firmware/image from that:

http://www.lg-phones.org/official-stock-lg-l70-firmware-rom.html

(It'd actually really help if someone running the stock L70 ROM could `adb pull /firmware /path/to/somewhere` and then zip it up for me. I don't have a Windows machine so running the LG FlashTool from the above link will be difficult...)

I'll let you know how it goes :) If nothing works at least I can use CM11, I appreciate your help <3

I'm running stock d320n

Can you zip up the /firmware/image for me? (if it's no bother...)

I'm going to try what DevMyAndroid said and get LG FlashTool running in wine - I've never done anything with COM ports through wine before. From what I read you `ln -s /dev/ttyUSB0 ~/.wine/dosdevices/com1`. I'm not sure this will work tough, I don't think the phone presents itself as a serial device to Linux, I thought USB debugging was done through the usbnet driver ~

Can you explain a little bit? I don't know what to do...
 
Can you explain a little bit? I don't know what to do...

1) Connect your phone to your computer (I'm assuming you're running Linux?)
2) Say yes to the prompt on the phone asking if you want to enable USB debugging
3) Open a terminal and type: mkdir ./firmware && adb pull /firmware ./firmware
4) Then zip up the directory with: zip -r firmware.zip ./firmware
5) Upload the firmware.zip here :-) (please)

windows... :/

If you feel like being adventurous...: http://www.theandroidsoul.com/how-to-install-adb-on-windows-full-guide/

Instead of opening a terminal you'd be opening a command prompt window :-)

1) Follow the guide linked above
2) Open a command prompt window (hit the windows key + type 'cmd')
3) mkdir firmware
4) adb pull /firmware firmware
5) open up the directory where you created the firmware folder
6) right-click on firmware and compress to zip
7) upload here
8) ???
9) PROFIT!!!

It's okay if you don't want to though, I'm not sure the d320n's firmware would work for mine, we're just messing around here to see what happens :-)

ok how big file should be? phone is not mine, it's my brothers and he's not home right now... i'll do it when he comes home...
 
You guys should PM eachother this. And post ur end result zip. Here. Its off topic, and making the already long thread for noobies to read, even longer :confused:
 
when i do adb pull /firmware firmware it says 0 files pulled. 0 files skipped.
Edit: i used cm file manager and it says that firmware folder is empty (only image and verinfo folder...)

Okay, my bad - the problem is /firmware is readable to the `system` user - so you need a root shell to do: 'adb pull /firmware firmware`

See if you can run: adb root
Then run: adb pull /firmware firmware

If that doesn't work you need to enable root access from the adb shell on the phone. I don't know if this is possible on the stock ROM - but if it is I believe you'd go into Settings -> About Phone, then tap the build number until it says you have unlocked Developer Options, then go to Settings -> Developer Options, if it's possible there should be an option to enable root from the adb shell within that settings menu. Only then would you be able to run the commands above :>

Otherwise... I appreciate the help so far

PS: I guess we'll talk in private now ~
 
I think copy files from /firmware not good idea. I think better use dd and /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/modem.

@ledosladoledi:

I think what @vm03 is worried about is: The OS presents /firmware as a bunch of files, but these files are written on a bit of flash memory the OS sees at: /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/modem

The OS might open a file through /firmware or directly read/write to the device/flash memory at: dd

The problem is if we copied the files, but not the raw device in its entirety. If we took the zip we created and copied the extracted files into /firmware on another phone they wouldn't be in the same places in the flash memory that is /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/modem

Does that make sense?

EDIT:
Okay, ledosladoledi did this: dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/modem of=/storage/sdcard0/firmware.img

He then uploaded it here: http://www.mediafire.com/download/b5hm0d4k9xps86n/firmware.img

I overwrote my /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/modem with it (using dd) and it did NOT solve my SystemUI has stopped issue. In fact it even made another way because after I factory-reset it again I couldn't enable the wifi :p

Anyway, back to square one :)

I'm gonna try ripping the /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/modem from the stock MS323 ROM - I believe I've found a copy: http://androidforums.com/threads/cw...w5-metropcs-4-4-2-stock-v10c-835-6-mb.895818/ -> https://mega.co.nz/#!yg110abD!AAYp2zEw3cnyUPkDWNQw8EAg1cCXBlyfcGUjh5jRkYA

EDIT2:

I think I made my problem worse :p I need the stock firmware from the MS323 (lol)

If you have the stock ROM flashed and you can get a root shell, do:

dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/modem of=/sdcard/firmware.img

Please upload it so I can make my phone less brick-like XD It works but it doesn't work - currently I can't get the original ROM to flash with LG's FlashTool.

This has been a fun weekend :]

You could try XInternalSD for xposed, Link2SD from Playstore or FountMount (I have bought this with Premium from playstore and its working prefectly, but has some limitations) Link2SD is not working for me as it gives Package invalid error while linking apps.

You are just like me... Experimenting... Hotdog with ketchup... Ok... Hotdog with mayonnaise... Yuck... Oooh nutella... Sick for 2 days... Lel
That nutella part ISN'T true but you got the point...
 
My xinternalsd not working.. Or maybe I wrong setting in ? I don't know how to setting supposed to do in order to working perfectly
You could try "custom path to internal SD Card" and change the path to sd card with "/storage/sdcard1/" or if sdcard 2nd partition : "/data/sdext2", and then restart phone. Let me know if it helps.

Link2sd works flawlessly for me on ms323 ☺☺☺
