Please help how to root LG L70 (LGD320N)

Hi,
I wish I could ask the skilled advice about the procedure rooting LG L70 (LGD320N)

I followed the instructions in the first post

Only briefly, my procedure:

1. Install LG drivers to PC.
   
2. Format external sdcard - using cardreader - into ext2. Using the MiniTool Partition Wizard.
   
3. Download update.zip and move it to ext2 sdcard. I use Ext2Fsd tool to mount ext2 partition to Windows.
   
4. Download ADB.rar and unpack it to C:/ADB/
   
5. In my phone turn on USB debugging (Settings – General – Developer options – USB debugging)
   
6. Connect the phone to computer and confirm USB debugging
   
7. Running command (cmd) in the directory C:/ADB/
   
8. In the opened window type:
   

   c:\ADB>adb devices
   * daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
   * daemon started successfully *
   List of devices attached
   LGD32076dc415   offline
   
   
   c:\ADB>adb devices
   List of devices attached
   LGD32076dc415   device
   
   
   c:\ADB>adb shell
   shell@w5n:/ $ reboot recovery
   reboot recovery
   
   c:\ADB>

9. The phone reboot to recovery.
   
10. Unplug phone from PC
    
11. I Choose “apply update from external sdcard” (by pressing VOLUME +/- and POWER button)
    

---------- Until this point everything is OK according to the instructions ----------

A new screen show:
On the background a robot with exclamation and under it the text "No command" (in my case in original "Žádný příkaz" - I have set Czech language)
In the upper left corner of the screen is displayed yellow text - number "52269060463580"


Fortunately, after removing the battery the phone normally starts .

Please advice how to proceed with the ROOT device.


One idea - query:
Can send me, please, exactly how the structure should look like partitions on SD card
I mean Logical/Extended/Primary... (We apologize for any nonsense that do not understand much)
For these experiments using 2GB SDcard -
Following image shows structure of the SD card which I tried the above described:

Can't manage to get past OFFLINE status on my LG L90

When trying the procedure, no matter how much I try, the phone (LG L90 D400hn TELCEL) still shows up on ADB as OFFLINE, so, I can't continue with the reboot to recovery... Can someone please help.

make sure drivers are correctly installed. enable USB debugging on the phone. make sure you accept the RSA key prompt that the phone asks when you connect it to the computer. also try restarting the computer

Hi,
you must accept the RSA key prompt on the phone. If you look at my post #304 you will see when I run first adb devices also was returned message offline, after confirmation key in the phone already reported online.

We need to start an information thread regarding everything for the L90. From what I gather, the US variant has a locked bootloader.

try ext3 and ext4. some users reported that ext4 worked for them and ext2 didn't

so is rooting for the T-Mobile LG L90 not possible?

I've compiled a reference thread, this one has been included as well.

Alright all, just to clarify - T-Mobile L90 and Metro L70 unable to root currently due to bootloader lock

bootloader has nothing to do with root.

And see that's where I was confused. (meant to be a questionmark). What IS going on?

it something we've seen on some other models too. The stock recovery wont boot to a menu, just briefly flashes Andy with his guts spinning. While other variants boot to the menu just fine.

Oh. I don't see how that differs from locked bootloader (not opposing! Loved your work on the ZTE Score M and I know nothing. I just don't understand).

locked bootloader restricts booting unsigned boot/recovery.img's
