LG L70 (lg-w5)
 |
WARNING: This device is not recommended for future use with postmarketOS due to its armhf architecture. Alpine Linux (the distribution that postmarketOS extends) pmaports#599 has been considering dropping it. |
 |
This device is still running on armhf, although the processor supports armv7. If you own it, change it and test it that way. |

Installation
At the moment flashing is not working, so it is necessary to install to sdcard and then live boot from fastboot.
Installing to sdcard works with the command
# Replace /dev/sdX with the device for your sdcard
$ pmbootstrap install --sdcard /dev/sdX
Now place the sdcard into the phone. Assuming that the bootloader is unlocked, it is possible to get to fastboot by following steps
- Disconnect and reconnect the battery.
- Hold volume up while connecting phone to computer with a usb cable.
Now it is possible to live boot.
$ pmbootstrap flasher boot
The screen doesn't work yet, so for now the only way to find out if it booted is by usb networking or the maximum attention hook.
