[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] androidguy1991:
Do not use this root method for 5.1.1!! You will get a soft brick and there is no way to recover! If your on 5.0.2 and did not take the update then you can proceed to this root method.

Here is the untouched update to 5.1.1:

udpate.zip

UPDATE: 6/25

BOOST MOBILE HAS RELEASED AN UPDATE! The update is around 413MB. I pulled the update and will be updating it soon. If you are rooted do not update the phone. It could cause a brick and or unroot the device! So far I just found a new radio.img inside of it. I'll check it out later this afternoon.

Here is how to get into STOCK RECOVERY:

1) Turn the device off
2) While holding the phone on, press and hold VOLUME -(DOWN) at the same time
3) When you see the LG boot logo hurry up and let go of the VOLUME -(DOWN) and hold it again for a few sec (kinda tricky)
4) Then this will get you into recovery mode

Here is how to get into DOWNLOAD MODE:

1) Turn the device off
2) While holding the VOLUME +(UP) key plug in the device into the pc
3) A screen should pop up and press the VOLUME +(UP) key until you see DOWNLOAD MODE with the progress bar
4) Done
NOTE: Pull out the battery once your done in DOWNLOAD MODE to get out of it and power the device like normal.
