New Update

Has anyone gotten a new update pushed to there device? I had a notification that there was an update for system software and I hit (update) and it booted to recovery and ran a few seconds and an error came up so I held power down and rebooted and everything is as it was. I think it failed because I'm rooted, I guess. But anyway, I went to the root cache and snatched the update zip it downloaded. It is 413 mb. I am not a dev but I am sure we could use this zip for something. If you are a Dev and you think you can do something with it PM me. If anyone else gets this update and it installs please post what it is. I posted this same on android forums.

I just seen the edit in the OP of this thread. It just showed error, no harm, no fowl, still rooted. WHEWWWW!!!

just like i posted on Android Forms SuperR is looking at stuff that i sent him we should have a working TWRP by Monday at the earliest according to his schedule, but if he get's lucky well have it before then
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Kolma:
Looks like the update is for 5.1 lollipop

Haven't updated since I am rooted
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
i sent SuperR the T-Mobile/Metro TWRP today to see if he can tell the what needs to be changed for our device
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] 903tex:
Ok cool. I got the update couple days ago but cant install cause im rooted of course. Hopefully it will help improve the boost model.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
does anyone know how i can push the build.prop back into my system? i accidentally deleted it :/

nvm figured it out
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] androidguy1991:
Vary interesting.. After trying to install the update and got the ERROR msg, my recovery is gone and now we I have a different menu when I hold the volume up and power and then when lg logo comes up hit the volume up key again and it takes me to a Factory Reset? Before this did not happen..
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] DrakenFX:
I not sure about UP volume but when Press and hold power + down volume and logo appears and release and press + hold back take you to the factory reset is been like that on every LG phone different is if you have Twrp/ custom Recovery still take you there but click pn YEs and YES again instead of doing a Factory Reset takes you directly to TWRP and is only if you have TWRP other wise will do a Factory Reset
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] androidguy1991:
Yeah... NVM!

So I copied over the update.zip to my sdcard and reboot into stock recovery trying to flash it and got

"/system/bin/debuggerd/ has unexpected ontents.
E:Error in /sideload/package.zip
(Status 7)

I'm going to try to mess around with this update and see what happens. I'm going to post a download link if anyone want's to take a look..
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
If your rooted and "debloated" the system then the update wont work, you have to "rebloat" and unroot for it to work
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Kolma:
I've unrooted and even factory reset. Still get error on the update, hurray.

I wonder if internal space has anything to do with it.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] kdraw44:
Unroot

How would I go about un-rooting?
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Unjustified Dev:
Once you touch system updates will not work and unrooting your device will have no affect. Also as far as twrp goes ,this device has a locked bootloader there's no way to workaround it.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
SuperR made TWRP for the Warp Sync that also had a locked bootloader.....and he's also helping me make one for this model
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] androidguy1991:
Looks like my Lg Stylo is bricked! Until LG releases a kdz or a custom recovery comes in I'm out for now..
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] DrakenFX:
sorry to hear that, that was one of the reason i was doing much with my Stylo (TMobile Variant) till got TWRP and first thing was Backup everything :) ... but check this site and see if LG have upload the KDZ for this variant of the stylo

http://www.lg-phones.org/how-to-download-all-lg-phone-firmware.html

or just go straight up here if already know what do :

http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=typeyourimeihere

where it say "typeyouimeihere" just need to enter you imei and will show you if there is a KDZ file uploaded or not for the Boost variant.

as you can see this is for T-Mobile and of course there is no KDZ for T-Mobile user yet.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
hmmm....i just made a bumped version of the t-mobile recovery but i'm hesitant on trying it out....did anyone try out the regular T-Mobile version on Boost and verify that it did brick the device?
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] androidguy1991:
I've flashed T-mobile's TWRP on Boost Mobile and all I got was that Security Error cause the bootloader is locked. The phone just resets itself back to normal after the Security Error message. I was able to flash stock recovery when the phone booted like normal. The recovery did not brick my device.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
okay sweet I'll flash the bumped version then, the bump is supposed to be a way around the lock of the bootloader
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] androidguy1991:
For some reason I can't click on the second link you have posted? I get "This webpage is not available". When I click the first link and then click the link provided it says the same thing?

Anyways, if someone finds KDZ file please post it or pm me. Thanks...
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] DrakenFX:
i'm not a expert but have you try flashing again system.img using send_command via Download Mode? i believe you have those img's files right? if you can boot to Download Mode you may have a change to save it.

How to Boot to Download Mode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kcFtnZZ7I1U

same way for the Stylo

here is the link just change where it say yourimei for you actual imei

http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=yourimei
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] androidguy1991:
I've tried to use the send_command to flash the system.img "dd if=/sdcard/system.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p37" and it just returns with a "#" sign, so I reboot and still stuck at BOOST logo

EDIT:

Going to hard reset and see if that works?
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] DrakenFX:
is it mmcblk0p37? i think is mmcblk0p36 or this varies per variant? i know Tmo/Metro is mmcblk0p36 cuz is what i use for my Flashable Bootanimation script.

but give it a shot and see if Factory Reset helps.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] androidguy1991:
For boost it's 37. I gave it a reset and still no bueno! I guess fro now I am out of luck. I don't think you can flash a whole system.img with the send_command I was reading a post for the G4 somewhere..
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] androidguy1991:
You know what!? The dd command isn't even flashing a recovery at all? I'm wondering if the update broke the send_command?
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] YourHeroZero:
Default system apps needed

If anyone is rooted but did not debloat their G Stylo for Boost Mobile it a big help if they could copy all system apps into a downloadable zip file so those who debloated can rebloat their phones for the update.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Kolma:
You still won't be able to update.

Rooting the phone edited the system partition which breaks the update (boat I'm in since I rooted and didn't debloat)

We are stuck waiting for a custom recovery or KDZ file for update.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] YourHeroZero:
Is there a usual time frame when they'll release the kdz file to use with the flash tool or is it up in the wind?
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
I'm still wondering about the KDZ file myself I'm gonna check if there is finally a url available for download
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] YourHeroZero:
Any luck finding the kdz firmware. Also close is twrp recovery for the LS770

[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] dustindavidson900:
Should have got something else. Doesn't look like there is going to be much in the way of development for this phone. I wish I would have kept my Warp Sync at least that had twrp.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Unjustified Dev:
It's just this variant, it has a locked bootloader. I would wait for G4 devs to find a workaround locked bootloader we already have root. Once that's accomplished I could easily build TWRP and CyanogenMod

helo

can i root the lg gstylo booat variant on 5.1.1 i tried and it bricked my device need some help

i used kingroot which is more of a temporary root if anything

Bootloop/softbrick ..driver install fails

Greeting to higher conciouse members in XDA. I tried KINGO root method & had wrong folder open & pushed wrong command ! I goes boot screen & actually stays on. I have to pull battery to turn off. I kow how to get to download screen & stock recovery as well but my PC (wind 7) fails to recognise my G4 due to driver install fails. I scanned web for methods to repair but seems LG G4 Stylo is too new. Blessings to any & all...Help !
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
are you referring to the LG G4 Stylus? (which is the other name of this phone) and if you can get into recovery you might be able to save it via adb...did you accept any updates by any chance?
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] ajamie123:
Any word on root for 5.1.1? Still dont quite understand how tmo and metro have it yet bost and sprint dont i would think bootstrap/bootloader lock wouldnt be universal but thats just me. Any insight wiuld be appreciated.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
we got the OTA to 5.1.1 before they did :V, we just don't have the stock 5.0.1/2 kdz file and i don't think LG will supply it anytime soon as they seem to be ass-hats
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] ajamie123:

That's great to heard..... You guys (Boost) don't have KDZ yet?

PS. Will be nice if you add a warning to your OP about don't try any current root methods if they are on 5.1.1 when they got it from store or have taking the OTA,cuz will soft-Brick the phone.

Possible solution for soft brick Lg g stylo for boost

i have two of the exact same phones except one is 5.0.2 and rooted and the other is 5.1.1 on soft bricked. I can get into system recovery and download mode with soft brick, it just freezes at start up screen. My 5.0.2 rooted phone downloaded the update for 5.1.1 but it is not installed. If someone can tell me where do I find the 5.1.1 file that is ready to get downloaded I can extract copy the original ROM to the SD card and recover the bricked phone!!!

another possible solution was to create a nandroid backup on my rooted phone, save it on the SD card and flash ROM it into the bricked phone. I think because I rooted the first phone its considered a custom ROM and use I have to use TWRP to install it. I know this can be done somehow, but I need help doing these thing because im new at this. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. If I can get the OTA copied/and or Make a custom ROM I will definitly post it for the world to share.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] androidguy1991:
Another update!

Just received my Stylo back from LG and they did indeed UNBRICK my device! I have a fully working Stylo on 5.1.1 on build LMY47V!
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] androidguy1991:
When I bricked my device I was able to get into recovery and I tried to flash stock update.zip from the sdcard and it would not work cause the device was rooted. I was on 5.0.2

As far as this method, there is no custom recovery for the boost variant cause the bootloader is locked down. This is not an option for us.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] alexag0825:
How.much

How much were charge to get it fix
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] androidguy1991:
I paid nothing! No charges at all!

I had the phone for less than a month, so they told me it was still under warranty.

All I told them was "I tried to update my phone and it got stuck on the boost mobile screen".

I was rooted on 5.0.2 and I even changed my MSL to 000000 and the phone came back with 5.1.1 and my regular MSL is back to normal.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
well i can verify that none of the LG tools work for the Boost variant and still no KDZ file
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] androidguy1991:
I guess we play the waiting game..

Wait until the G4 gets a public root and hopefully work for our device as well..
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:

Thats great news to my ears man i thought they were going to charge me atleast a bill. I just got the phone for my wife on 4th of july and got it soft brick on the 12 so you can imagine what i go thru. Imagine a girl with out a phone equals less xbox game time for me..... Thanks

[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] WhatzinyourphonE:
I dont know if there is a sprint version yet, but seeing if they have root yet may help. Boost could have put that update out to stop us from rooting this phone. They did the same with aquos
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
that could be the case and they don't seem to know who is releasing the firmware, Boost says LG and LG says Boost.

hey 6th

hey man you helped ne before with my triband s3 anything i can do to help with recovery for boost stylo
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
well the Boost Stylo unlike the T-Mobile and Metro variant's comes with a Locked Bootloader so we need a way around that but i have noticed now that i got another Stylo that came with 5.1.1 is that it has an option called "OEM Unlock" (it gives you the ability to unlock the bootloader with the command in adb, but it will break a few OEM features exactly which ones i can't say) and you can enable or disable it and without that command it's really doesn't matter either way. so yea we either need someone to try the OEM unlock option or we need someone to figure out a workaround for the locked bootloader
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] somewhereintheak:
yea i rooted my first one on 5.1 before the knowledge of it bricking would happen so i have 2 as well one brickd and the other running 5.0.2 rooted is the unlock not part of 5.0.2 and what is the uicc thing under sytem upgrades ive never seen it. if u have hangouts lets collaborate somewhereintheak@gmail.com ive got the time and some good experianxe since i had the triband s3 lets see what we can do
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] YourHeroZero:

I believe the uicc in system updates has to do with the sim card.

updated to 5.1.1 then attempted one click root 1.2 [bricked]

So I didnt read alllllllll the 500000 posts on how to NOT do this and I have softbricked my phone.

heres whats going down:

i had updated to 5.1.1 thru OTA update.

I then used one click root 1.2 script interface

when my phone rebooted, it was stuck on LG splash screen.

I turn on the phone and it freezes on LG splash screen.

I am able to access recovery mode -but- I have hard reset to no avail. also wipe cache and wipe everything.

no dice

I am able to access download mode but I dont know what to do with it after I get it there.

Im pretty sure for a while I was able to use fastboot commands, at least some of them, while in download mode.

All correct drivers are installed. Windows 7 recognizes the phone.

My phone displays THIS in recovery mode. idk if this helps.

Android System Recovery <3e>
