LG L70: All Things Root Guide

Click the "Show" button below for a root warning / disclaimer:

Spoiler

Quick note / disclaimer: as always, you are ultimately responsible for any root-related activities on your phone.

You should understand not only the benefits of rooting, but also any possible consequences (voided warranty, boot-loops, bricking, etc.) that might occur as a result of your root-related actions.

AndroidForums.com /@LitrosNub/Any ROM Dev, its owner, and staff are not liable for any root actions you might undertake as a result of information used from this site.

Reading, researching, understanding, and carefully following the published steps and instructions can go a long way towards helping to make your rooting efforts a successful one.

When you are installing any ROM, Kernel, Radio, or modification, VERIFY that it is compatible with your specific brand/model(and if applicable) carrier branded version of the device you are flashing. If you are not sure, ask for assistance.

WARNING!

THE CRICKET MODEL (D321) IS UNSUPPORTED, DOING ANYTHING WILL BRICK YOUR DEVICE. THE CAUSE OF THIS IS UNKNOWN. YOU CAN ONLY ROOT AND UNLOCK THE BOOTLOADER.

You should add stock laf.IMG for every variant. It would help sooo much now that we all have a key combo for recovery

[Member1771050]

Update: The first post in reserved will be a changelog of what I added.

 

[LitrosNub]

I added Resurrection Remix and CyanogenMod12.1. More info in the first post!

 

[crutchcorn]

@LitrosNub, can you change the ROMs to be LP vs KK vs LP 5.1 ;P?

Sure, but only Resurrection Remix. Everything else is 5.0 except Cyanogenmod 12.1 and Resurrection

Cyanogenmod 12.1 pretty much explains itself.

Edit: did it to all of them.

Even still. Nice to have

I think Crutch meant to group roms by version, e.g.

Spoiler: something like this

KK 4.4.4:
SlimKat
cm11
etc

LP 5.0.2
Slim
cm12
etc

LP 5.1
cm12.1
RR 5.4.0
etc

It's cool. I also snapped once, remeber?

 

[crutchcorn]

Shouldn't that be fixed though? The comment makes no sense to link to.
