As the forum says, KingRoot works fine with rooting (I'm not sure if it supports the most recent update but it works on 10E). That should root the phone and with the help of Link2SD, that should help clear up some space. You will need a partition for your SD Card this link should help with that: http://www.techinbuzz.com/how-to-partition-sd-card-for-link2sd-using-minitool/

Rooted lg stylo 5.0 with kingroot and last night my wife was having problems with Bluetooth staying connected she restarted phone now its stuck in bootloop. Any help please. I'm a truck driver so cant really go through posts.
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] fruitislife:
I got it rooted with KingRoot, but when I try to install Link2SD it just shows the installing bar and never finishes the install. Any help with that?
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] Bladerbash:
I'm not sure what's up with that but I recommend that you get the pro version. (Any means necessary.) :p Pro version helps a lot too.
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] Flagmax:
You didn't say what model/carrier you have. If its H634/Cricket, then you will have to warranty it because of no KDZ release. With others you might fix it by flashing stock firmware.
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] rmark1083:
Yeah it's cricket. Already sending it in. Thanks for replying!
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] slgooding:
Did you attempt the root after updating the phone with the recently released update? I'm curious if that had something to do with it.
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] BIG Chris:
Root Is Possible.

Try opening up the chrome browser on your device and download and install KingRoot, once installed run it thats all i did and my device is rooted no issues thus far i am also running busybox. i have had my stylo for about three weeks now been rooted for one week.

Hope this helps all parties involved.:cyclops::cyclops::cyclops:

Rooted H634 (cricket stylo)

Rooted with kingroot for about a week now, backed up stock and kernal with flashify, no issues other than volume up (button) refuses to work now, but is adjustable with drop down tray. ES Explorer acts wonky depending on files selected and actions taken, unmounts SD card if wrong file selected. Other than that, haven't had a need for Link2SD, yet.
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] Bladerbash:
I thought that Flashify didn't work as a backup for the Stylo?
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] slgooding:
I was hesitant to install busybox. What method did you use to install it?
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] DnR Diablo:
Yes, I backed up my H634 stock recovery and stock kernel to my SD and dropbox.

And if it didn't save the right files, I'll keep my fingers crossed that I won't be needing to flash anything! :fingers-crossed:
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] slgooding:
It says that your recovery is only 24Mb. That doesn't look right to me.
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] DnR Diablo:
I thought it was a little strange that both were the same size, like I said, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that nothing goes wrong!:fingers-crossed:
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] BIG Chris:
Download busybox from Google play I didn't do anything special. All buttons work, I have even been able to remove a little of he bloatware.
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] jjbadd385:
Hey guys...im so tempted to unroot & install the latest update for this phone. Im just afraid it will make it unrootable. This phone wouldnt be as good without being able to use link2sd
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] slgooding:
Why are you tempted to do the update? All it seems to do is fix some of the space issues along with some possible security stuff. Sure, I always like having the most updated version of my phone too. However, in this case it is absolutely not worth the risk of losing the usage of Link2SD. If this were an update to Marshmallow then it would be a different story...

At the same time you could do the update and then verify for all of us if we can actually root it with the update :). If you do this, can you please document your steps for unrooting, and rooting again after the patch?

Good luck either way!

---------- Post added at 09:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:09 AM ----------

Did you do the "smart install" of busybox? Or just the default install?
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] jjbadd385:
I used busybox pro, normal install...also the reason Im considering unrooting and updating, is because i think i did something to one of my Google files because im getting a popup saying "unfortunately google play services has stopped" every hour or so...i guess im hoping the update will re-install my google files & fix this error...ive tried everything
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] BIG Chris:
I used the default install. I also should make it known I updated to ver 10g before rooting. I have had no need to get link2sd. All buttons still function normally and apps too.
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] WetWilly:
If you get root on this phone, be careful debloating or playing with the system partition since a quick scan back through this thread shows some soft bricks related to that.

The easiest way to check the Google Play Services issue is to download and manually install the APK. It will load Play Services into user storage and override the ROM version. If the download works then try to move it into the system partition - or just leave it alone if you're not tight on memory.

As an aside, I've installed stericson's busybox; seems like several things said to use that over other busyboxes. Regardless, I've had no problems with stericson's.

I know you went to 10g before root, but for others thinking about it: +1 on this. Version 10e has the Stagefright vulnerabilities fixed, so there aren't any pressing (that we're aware of) security issues to deal with that would make 10g absolutely necessary, and the runaway storage issue is related to the Music app. I've stopped using the Music app and haven't had any of the write*.pcm files show up for the last 3 weeks. Even if they did, it'd be easier to run a script at boot to delete the files than to deal with unrooting, updating, re-rooting, and getting Link2SD and 4GB of stuff moved back to the 2nd partition.

As for Marshmallow, IMHO I'm not really looking for it because:

1) It's not baked enough for me, between dealing with root (again) and Xposed still in the process for Marshmallow, and

2) On this phone, Lollipop + root + Link2SD are working *really* well with a ton of apps installed (including about 2GB of games) and there's still 1.5GB of user space and a few GB in Link2SD's 2nd partition. I'm just not seeing *anything* Marshmallow brings to the table that's worth screwing up what's working great for me at the moment.
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] Flagmax:
I have received a Cricked LG G Stylo today and it has 10d software version. It is telling me now that there is a 10e 36.79MB update available. Is there a reason not to update 10e and then to 10g?

Also, those with 10e and 10g, could you please try dialing *#*#4636#*#*, then tap Phone Information. Do you get a "This Application does not work on this device" message. I need to find a way to switch to 4G network due to over congested LTE in my area. I had a Grand Prime previously and was able to select GSM Auto in Phone Info to lock on 4G. In my area LTE is ~0.5mbps vs 4G ~3.5mbps.
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] jjbadd385:
I know you can root with 10e...& another user above has said he rooted on 10g update..i actually paid 10 bucks to unlock my Stylo & switched to Tmoblie because i get better signal in the rural area i live in
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] slgooding:
I'm running 10e. dialing the code and tapping "Phone Information" gives me a "This Application does not work on this device" message.
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] Flagmax:
I think I will go ahead and install the 10e update for now. The current 10d software on the phone has stagefright vulnerability.

Thanks for checking guys.
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] Prince_Midian:
I tried updating, an it bricked my phone. I had to send it to lg to restore it. I rooted with Kingroot, installed busybox and force2sd from the play store. I moved all my apps to my sd card using force2sd, and removed bloatware apps using Kingroot I kept apps from lg as a precaution so not to brick my phone. I removed Google and cricket apps that I don't use, such as hangouts, Google movies and tv, and Google music. Also, I uninstalled updates from stock apps, and disabled automatic updates from the play store. This left me with about 1GB of free internal storage. I also delete the app cache every once in a while.
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] Flagmax:
Can you give more details what state and software version was on your phone, before updating and what cause the brick? Did you root then unroot before updating? What software did LG flashed on the restored phone? How easy and fast is it to get the replacement from LG?
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] jjbadd385:
I messed up & deleted some Google files & I screwed my phone up too. I also unrooted & tried to update & that's when my problems really began, as it told me it could not install the update because the phone had been rooted. So whatever changes I made, the update detected something. But be careful what you delete or Uninstall when it comes to Google apps. I kept getting "Unfortunately blah blah has stopped" on a few different apps. And the Link2sd was buggy too. I have sent my phone to be fixed but still intend to root...but I'll be extra careful what I delete. I'm thinking I'll only move my User apps to the #2 partition & leave Google apps alone.
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] LazGunn:
You can try rooting it with towelroot except when you download the app and open it, the part that says welcome to towelroot tap it 3 times and some numbers will pop up you need to add "0 0" to it and push Make It Rain let me know if that works for you. Don't add the parentheses just the two zeros

I am on 10e and tried to update to 10g but it looks like they pulled the update now, maybe they are getting Marshmellow ready.. Is there a way to apply the files you posted.

Update : Tried again around 2am today and it showed the 10g update which I applied successfully.
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] Telefunk:
I second that request. Can anyone explain how to apply the 10g update? Mine won't OTA and I'm a non rooted, already once bricked before g stylo cricket owner who cant file another insurance claim..

EDIT: Found this from digging,

But I'm pretty sure you have to have root SU access for that ADB tool sideload am I right?
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] jjbadd385:
I just got my phone back, it was on 10g so i rooted again..this time, i will NOT delete any Google apps. I dont know whats different this time, but after rooting & moving only a few apps to the SD card, i have 1.75 gigs of space. I havent made a 2nd partition or anything. So something is better than befor....my phone is running great.

This sounds great! How did you do it exactly? Do you just do the following:

Also, did you root it so that you can modify the OS to use the external sd as a default + main storage? If so, how'd you do it?
