Root LG Realm and LG Exceed 2 Guide

There has been lots of rumor's going around about these 2 being really to close to the L70. These are some fact about these devices. That's actually really surprising.

These 2 devices can be actually rooted, bootloader unlocked, and recovery flashed with the L70 Tools in this forum.

LG Exceed 2 is rumored to have the same partitions as everything as the LG Realm, so that should work too.

Don't believe me? Look at the partitions of the LG L70 (MS323) and LG Realm:

L70 (Left) LG Realm (Right)

Update: The link above is broken, I'll try to revive it soon.

YOU CAN:

Root - ( https://towelroot.com )
Unlock Bootloader - ( http://androidforums.com/threads/unlock-ms323-lg-l70-bootloader-unlock.862585 )
Flash Recovery - ( http://androidforums.com/threads/philz-ms323-d320n-d325-philz-recovery-for-lg-l70.889246 )

Update:

There is a recovery for the Realm and Exceed 2! (for those having issues with PhilZ)

YOU CANNOT DO THESE THINGS WITH THESE DEVICES:

Flash LG L70 ROMS

Thanks everyone to help find this out:

@crutchcorn - Helping us find that these things are rootable. And find the almost similar partitions.
@jdogrambo - Being a tester and owning the LG Realm.
@MikeHoncho - Making a working LG Realm unlocker without even knowing! + PhilZ ;)
@chevanlol360 - PhilZ
@elisam98 - TWRP for the Realm and Exceed

PS Mods - There is no forums for both of these devices. Both are so similar to the L70. So had to post it here.
**mod note** As of Sept 8th, 2015 the LG Realm forum was created and this thread moved into it.

ok i realize this is a very old thread but... i still have this phone (ls620)

however i am trying to revive it as i am trying to revive this thread

.
my issue is when trying to get phone into download mode, it only goes into fast boot
adb doesnt see my device, havent figured out this issue and have been researching constantly

phone will boot but my keyboard is missing so i cant get past activation or whatever
i cant install from sd as the sd fails to mout
this happened after phone was rooted and an ota pushed though if i remember but i could be wrong
i obviously somewhere uninstalled google keyboard.....

theres more nut i cant remember all of it... if i can some how get adb to see the phone so i can repair download mode i will be in good shape.... i already have my kdz, tot , and dll files that i may need as well as lg mobile support tool (?) and the flash tool.

im pretty new at this so i will need precise directions etc...
im not new to rooting or even flashing i have successfully flashed my lg tribute last night because something went hay-wire in itin it and it would boot but could get into download mode... finding the tot, and dll files for the phone was the issue... luckily i found a link that someone share of the files they had paid for... long story short, phone it back up and running and rooted etc...

this phone wouldnt be just of easy just because its me....

if you have any other suggestions to getting a keyboard on the phone id appreciate those suggestions too.

thanks yall!
