Please don't test restoring yet. According to Leon dev you need a workaround for it to work.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Unjustified Dev:
You still have your device? There's a way to fix the read only issue you'll be able to restore your backup. I'll build a new image tmrw.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] AP2FTW:
ok...but then how would i find out if twrp is working correctly? i guess you mean wait until the kdz gets released and then i can try to backup/restore with twrp?

[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] AndroidAddict||AA:
[MENTION=4911249]Unjustified Dev[/MENTION] and I have been talking. I gave him what he needs to fix the read/write issue. Backup wont restore without it. Hope you get it all worked out man
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Unjustified Dev:
Are the colors correct? I wanted to get that out the way. Everything seemed to work in the previous it was just read only. Could you send me the boot.img from stock? I will implement the fix for system rw you won't be able to restore without it
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] DrakenFX:
Ok, i was about to test that out lol :eek: , ill wait then but flashing zips works right?
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Unjustified Dev:
Yes flashing zips work but then again you can't restore lol. Just for safety go ahead and make a backup you will be able to restore it later in the next release if anything goes wrong.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] AP2FTW:
i still havent tried it, nor have i rooted my phone... maybe drakenfx can send you that boot.img?

So i can flash twrp with flashify and then flash the recovery image with twrp
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] DrakenFX:
Nice it works, like ? the recovery theme ...

Question : - looks like there is 2 system back ups one of them say just System and the other System image ..wondering if there is a different cuz file size are different. ( look screen capture)
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Unjustified Dev:
Once you flash this image with flashify that's it.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Tenechi:
Thanks any links for twrp for this device dont want to brick
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Unjustified Dev:
Awesome, the system image would have allowed you to backup system unmodified and restore it unmodified in case you want to take an ota update. The problem is most root then flash recovery since it's easier, but you can flash recovery from download mode using send_command program. Once you mess with system at all you won't be able to take ota updates.

Thank you for the info...seems like i have another and very important question before i fest things up, is the BACK-UP/RESTORE bug gone?

IF it is ill jump and give it a try and update main post with TWRP link.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Unjustified Dev:
Are you able to mount system and see it's contents? If so then yes it should be gone, but there's only one way to find out :D

I'm not sure about xposed ,but I'm working on CyanogenMod now.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] SonjaMichelle:
How stable is the current recovery build. Is it fully functional? Backup, restore, flash, adb, etc?

If it's nearing production I can possibly port a rom I've been working with. I've been following the trees on TeamRegular's github. If those are near production as well I can see what I can do. My Stylo is only a week old so I want to be sure that the recovery is stable and the possibilty of a brick is low.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] DrakenFX:
Guess what????

we have our self a full Custom Working Recovery yeahhhhhhh, BACK-UP and RESTORE works (assuming flashing file,ADB,Etc,etc, works of course :P ) :good: :highfive: :good: ,

try first just by doing factory reset (deleting DATA,CACHE and DALVIK CACHE), i reboot to check and yes got factory reset, when back to recovery and restore just Data and Cache and work so i pull the triger and do a Advance Wipe deleting everything but storage or course, reboot just to double check if the process was completed and got stuck on LG Logo as expected...when to Recovery and i did the Full Restore and Bam Work Full Restore and back to normal.

Thank you [MENTION=4911249]Unjustified Dev[/MENTION] , [MENTION=4595889]fix-this![/MENTION] and everyone else who contributed for this awesome job.... i'll be updating OP now.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Unjustified Dev:
The trees aren't near ready , give me a few days to get them in shape. If it does boot it will be buggy camera broken , nfc , and maybe a few more but it still has compilation issues.

There's a file in /system/etc/camera_config.xml you can modify that there's a boolean true or false value for manual mode you can set it to true and reboot and that should give you the setting for it in camera

[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] AP2FTW:
can you clarify this for me a little please? are you saying that if i root the phone and then use flashify to install twrp that i WONT be able to return to unmodified to get ota updates? and if so, i should flash twrp from download mode with the send command program BEFORE i root the phone?
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Unjustified Dev:
Yeah that's what I'm saying I'm not in a position to write a guide but I will pm you later when I get a chance to .
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] AP2FTW:
no worries im in no rush but thank you. i didnt think i would be able to flash twrp unless the phone was rooted...also how would i pull my stock recovery first if im not rooted? or did someone else already post the stock recovery image and i dont need to worry about grabbing that? sorry for all the questions

edit im so confused...i swear i read that doing the one click root was reversible to get the ota updates back...im glad i havent done that yet...
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] DrakenFX:
well as far my understanding is just ROOT and Custom Recovery meaning there been no change to SYSTEM or Kernel so you still be able to get OTA updates , now getting OTA's will mean loosing Root and possible Custom Recovery.

short story : getting Root and Custom Recovery will not block OTA's, now when you get Root access you can use Flashify and to Stock Recovery Backup in case you need to flash the Stock Recovery for some reason.

P.S. i'm not a dev. or Android expert but i do know that the only way to block OTA's is either changing System Image, Flashing Another Rom and/or Replacing the Kernel, if i'm wrong pretty sure someone will clarified better :P :D
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] AP2FTW:
well from the long pm ive just had with unjustified dev, he is saying that you will lose otas by doing the one click root because it alters the system image and he suggested another way via the send command to do it without touching the system image...im sure he will respond with some clarification though
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] mingkee:
It's about time how to convert KDZ to TWRP-flashable zip which can update and re-root at once.

This is possibly unable to regain root after updated to next release.

[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] AP2FTW:
hey [MENTION=4911249]Unjustified Dev[/MENTION] can you comment on drakens post here when you get a chance please...it sounds contradictory to the conversation we had in pm...
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] DrakenFX:
Ok lemme just clear i bit what you did :

1. You downloaded the latest recovery.img provided by [MENTION=4911249]Unjustified Dev[/MENTION] from this thread right?

2. You flashed using Flashify from google store?

3. It rebooted you to TWRP?

4. You are stuck in TWRP? Meaning you did press the big REBOOT button and then SYSTEM and got you back in Recovery?

:p well like i said before im not an expert or dev. so my post was base in just my own theory base on other Roms, I'm coming from the G2 (Verizon variant) using T-mobile Stock Kitkat Rom and OTA's were enable and i was Rooted using a Rom for a phone that is not a tmobile phone but just tmo Stock rom. I was getting the OTA to update to Lollipop (tmo lollipop)
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] AP2FTW:
no worries man...its just that im coming from samsung and dont know anything about lg...the conflicting info confuses me so i just like to double and triple check thats all :good:
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] werejag:
1. yes as stated

2. yes as stated

3. yes as stated'

4. yes as stated

ive rebooted many times and i go back to twrp as stated before.

ive also removed battery and i go back to twrp as stated before.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Unjustified Dev:
Did you wipe anything? The only possible way your booting back into twrp is if you wiped something or you flashed the recovery as boot.img in that case you need to flash a boot.img from recovery then flash recovery on the recovery partition.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] SonjaMichelle:
Sounds like you flashed your recovery.img to your boot partition. There's a fix for that in the T-Mobile LG G3 forum. I wonder it it would apply for the Stylo as well.

Here is the link to the thread
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] werejag:
boot.img where do i get? maybe that what i did
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] SonjaMichelle:
Did you read the thread I linked to? There is no boot.img to flash. The thread has you type some commands into the terminal in twrp to fix the issue.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] DrakenFX:
[MENTION=5812925]SonjaMichelle[/MENTION] Posted a link to different Thread on how to fix your problem, well if for the G3 but it may work for us as well.

Here is what you can do thanks to [MENTION=1122856]inshadesofgrey[/MENTION]

If you get into a recovery boot loop (where the phone keeps booting into the recovery, and not the OS), this will fix it without losing any data. (NO FACTORY RESET NEEDED)

Go to TWRP recovery terminal commands, and enter the following:

[B][COLOR="Navy"]dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota[/COLOR][/B]

PRESS ENTER

THEN TYPE

[B][COLOR="navy"]dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/misc[/COLOR][/B]

THEN PRESS ENTER

REBOOT

This should boot up your phone without any changes.

as i state before this is for the G3 BUT may work for our Devices.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] SonjaMichelle:
There was also a flashable zip that accomplished the same task, fixing a stuck recovery bootloop. I've used it on occasion a few times with my G3. Not sure it that would work either. I'd try the terminal commands first. In the meantime I'll see if I can locate that zip.

Here is the link to the flashable zip.

Here is the code that is run by the script in the zip.

#!/system/bin/sh

/sbin/busybox mkdir -p /data/media/0/FOTAnMisc_Backup/;

/sbin/busybox dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota of=/tmp/stuckfota.img;
/sbin/busybox dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/misc of=/tmp/stuckmisc.img;
/sbin/busybox dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota;
/sbin/busybox dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/misc bs=256 count=1 conv=notrunc;

cd /tmp;

[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] werejag:
how do i enter the terminal on the phone?
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] DrakenFX:

[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] werejag:
ok tried that commands dd:cant open..... no such file of dir

downloaded the zip will try that shortly
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Unjustified Dev:
The command won't work because that path doesn't exist. All you need to do is download stock boot.img. Once it's on your device in TWRP select install and change it to search for images. Choose the boot image and flash it to boot then you can flash recovery.img the same way. I'll upload boot.img in about 10 mins.

That twrp theme is kickass. Is it native or an add on theme?
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] DrakenFX:
indeed it is, pretty neat Theme and only [MENTION=4911249]Unjustified Dev[/MENTION] can answer if is native or add theme :p but i like it more than the original.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] GameTheory.:
According to a few sources from both youtube and forums, they say you can go as high as 128gb sd cards on this phone.

The trick seems to be that sd cards over 32gb come formatted to ntfs, so I've heard. So all you have to do is format it to fat and it should work. The phone should format it on it's own and if it doesn't then do it manually on your PC.

Keep in mind I have yet to try this myself as I have never used an sd card over 32gb.

I'm considering getting this phone from metro pcs and probably this card for it...

I was thinking of getting the SanDisk extreme 64gb, if I can use a 128gb I might do that. Idk if I'll ever need that much space though.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Unjustified Dev:
I'm still working on getting it to compile nearly there. Once it's compiled there's no telling what I'm missing so I won't be releasing it anytime soon unless I find a tester who has knowledge using adb who can help debug booting issues.

[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Damaged Gears:
For the MicroSD card, the Samsung EVO 64GB works like a champ and about $25 these days, give or take a buck or three. For $75, you could get the 128GB, but alas, the Stylo doesn't seem to save DNG files despite editing the XML file... That's about the only way the 128GB would be worth your while (or you carry heaps of FLAC file).

By the way, do enable the manual mode on the camera. It makes it worth the while to slog through the fugly oversharpening. Anyone have any clues how to disable that bit?

Yeah I've already enabled manual mode, haven't messed with it yet. So I guess I'll go with the 64gb then I think I'll get a high speed SD card like the extreme SanDisk. I may go with the 128 if I can download movies from Pirate Bay. I can't seam to get anything to download through utorrent though
