about adoptable storage i have two theory they wnt sell more phone with more storage orr is buggy like hell
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Big Kevin p:
I'm not that good at all the tech stuff

OK I downloaded and installed 6.0 marshmallow and now it corrupted sd card. Trying to find out how to fix the problem without losing anything on it and without a computer I have the boost mobile lg g stylo. Any ideas please thank you
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] jmacie:
You have to get the sd card out and read it on a pc or elsewhere. When I updated it said my card was corrupted too, but it wasn't. I took my sd card out and put it in a reader and copied it to my pc and then reformatted it. I'm not saying your card IS or ISN'T corrupted, but you can't solve this inside the phone, at least as far as I know. You need help.

What all commands can we use with the Send_Command.exe? Just dd? or can we maybe copy the su binaries where they suppose to be? Any ideas?
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
it seems that they blocked dd commands in 6.0 hence why no one has uploaded the system.img yet
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] mabry:
Yeah, just noticed. :(
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] WhatzinyourphonE:
6.0 feels more locked down then an iPhone or windows. With permissions after permissions dialogue , root block, sd card bs, Google claims it's for "security" purpose, when it's clear they are making it harder for the user to do what they want. Open source? More like "do what we want or don't use it" I am not looking forward to any future releases of android. KitKat I think was the last and best version of android.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] jmacie:
Google says it's for security? Then why is Nexus the main phone with advertised unlocked bootloader. My phone doesn't have NFC so what does it matter? It's about selling more phones now that the market is drying up. I really like LG, but I'm seriously considering a model from a company that gives me room to tinker. I have $29 tablet with a quad core with root. When the expensive LG's with MM can't get root or even use adoptable storage( even though they don't want it), either some great Korean will engineer a way in or LG will give it up, or many will seek a different brand of phone.

[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] jmacie:
Yes, but I'm not blaming Sprint/LG for not having NFC, I could care less. I'm blaming Google for bootloader dm-verity that Google doesn't block in their own phones. Why? to sell more Nexus', Why does LG not allow root or unlocked bootloaders? to sell more phones, because we all get sick of stock roms, and if we can't change them, we have to change our phones.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] DominicGresham:
you could also pull the files from the zip file and flash if you know the partitions
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] swwhite:
was on 5.1.1 rooted, and wanted to get on marshmallow to see what the hype was about. I couldn't regret it more. If you're rooted on 5.1.1, I would stick with that. You are locked down on this OS. Can't even push apps to your sd card. So stupid!
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] jmacie:
We are all in the same boat. If someone doesn't come up with a way to rollback or root, we may have to start a gofund hack fund. There are so few opportunities for inexpensive phones and our only choice is to buy another different phone
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] cHello2k9:
I had called Boostmobile earlier to ask them how to enable NFC, I think the guy I talked to pushed the update through to me, even though he said NFC isn't available in the hardware. I always end up with a bad provider version of a phone(my favorite phone the D2G didn't have a front facing camera on Verizon) or a phone that's completely locked down.

I had upgraded from Kyocera Icon, which just before I did I think I saw a post on xda on how to root it. Now I'm on the Stylo... and even though I have more internal space technically, I can't fit my apps from the Kyocera onto my new phone(neither of these phones make use of the 32 GB sdcard)...I have a little less than a gb left on the Kyocera.. so of the 4 gbs used that's not taken up by the system... my apps can't fit on the remaining 4 of the Stylo......

Anyways, I take it the current opinion is not to update the phone to marshmallow?
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] jmacie:
If you want to use your sd card, then find the root guide, and get Link2sd. If you pay the $2 to unlock it you can really move a lot more stuff to the card. It is a little tricky using Link2sd at first, but you need to have a 2nd "primary" partition formatted to ext4 and you can move even system prgs. I wouldn't move the system apks you constantly use, but since there is no rom for boost/sprint/virgin you can at least move the apks you never use.

If we ever get root, then I recommend Marshmallow. It is smoother, smaller footprint I think, and camera and a few other things are good. The inflexibility we have now is hard to deal with, no tinkering possible, no root programs like exposed or link2sd, AND with a rooted MM we can change the build.prop to use adoptable storage making Link2sd possibly unnecessary. Stay on Lollipop til your curiosity kills you then get MM, and get stuck in OUR boat.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] cHello2k9:
I'll let that boat sail on... I don't think I've had a device with the latest Android, it would be nice to be current, but even though I don't do much with root I prefer having i, and I only just rooted my phone the other day so I could set the install location. I really need to stop buying budget devices, you have to learn to tolerate them, adjust a lot from one phone to the next, almost makes me want to switch to Apple for consistency.... almost.

With link2SD, do I need to reformat my Sd card before hand?
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] jmacie:
They say you shouldn't have too big of an ext4 partition, but I actually did a 4 gig one on a 16 gig card. I used a pc partitioning prg. You can use a free phone tool from playstore called Aparted. Just remember if you use a pc partitioner that you make both your partitions primary. When you use a pc partition prg it's easier than Aparted. One more thing, I have had cards that would not take two partitions. It took me forever to figure that out. I don't know how to tell, Aparted was saying there were 2 partitions, but Link2sd wouldn't work. I think that's the reason I started using a pc partition program. Good Luck, and keep checking with us for MM root! Also, I think you can find some Link2sd youtubes. Not to be confused with App2sd.

Am I the only one getting an update error on the "ID" system app after upgrading to 6.0?
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] josev0:
So the 6.0 MM Update has been rolling on my boost mobile version, but half way through installing, an "Error!" message comes up and it reboots and its happened 3 times, Any clue why its happening?
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] jmacie:
I had to disable that one in apps, It's just some tiny sprint/boot/virginmobile identifier

Sorry, don't know, but on android forums I think I read the same thing with someone else
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] swwhite:
Moving apps to external storage

Ok, I want to correct myself. I just discovered that you CAN move some apps to external sd card. For instance, if you have facebook installed, go to your apps in settings, click on facebook, then click on storage, then it'll give you an option to change between internal and external, and you can move the app to your sd card
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] cHello2k9:
In some cases that is true, but a lot of apps are phone only, meaning they can't be moved to SD card. The only option then being to contact the developer and ask them to make an SD card version, or set the default install using sdk platform-tools(I had to root to do this, in older versions that wasn't the case, and it doesn't move the whole thing) or root it and use Link2Sd as mentioned above to move the full app.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] emanuelrv:
disable the app gona do is install bootware
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] swwhite:
Are you rooted on 5.1.1? If so, you have to flash the stock 5.1.1 rom on your phone. Then you can get the 6.0 update to install successfully. I had to do a prl and profile update after I flashed it to get the OTA MM to start downloading again
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] theoathkeeperalpha@yahoo.:
Am I the only one that got a brick trying to upgrade? Dom even tried to do a remote session and we couldn't fix it. Was gonna buy a nexus 6 but can't get boost to verify they will activate it although I've read somewhere they will. My stylo been sent off to LG now....
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] jmacie:
I know it sux for you , but if any way possible, would you let us know how that works out, like what OS did LG flash and what was the turnaround time. I bet they get piles of failures, and I wonder if they put up a stink or just flash them. I'd almost be willing to bork my phone if I could get them to flash me to 5.1.1. With root you have choices, and it looks like we'll need a miracle for someone to make us a kernel or whatever it's going to take to get around the new locked up marshmallow
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] theoathkeeperalpha@yahoo.:
I'll let you guys know.. I know I already had to sign an authorization for them to unlock something that google did, but they wouldn't say what.. Bootloader? We may get a 6.0 sys image out of it if so. Maybe even root.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] emanuelrv:
i flashed android 6.0 in recovery mode then go to app open the app and click disable
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] theoathkeeperalpha@yahoo.:
Well, so far they have received the phone.. It was in diagnostics for about an hour, acorrding to the website, and now it's in repair stage estimated to be returned to me in 5 days. So far they haven't given me any crap. Keeping my fingers crossed. Would be outstanding to get it back on marshmallow with an unlocked Bootloader!
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] ayjays:
So what are the chances of this working on Metro?
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Blu8:
Zero, just be patient.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] theoathkeeperalpha@yahoo.:
Update..website says phone has been repaired and has been shipped to me today, and didnt give me any chit at all. Now to just wait for it to get here and see what version of android is on it and if bootloader is unlucked as i suspect it will be.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] mutantchipmunk:
I have the same boot error as you theoathkeeperalpha and when i installed the update i got a few errors saying it couldnt install some recovery.sh files. Do you remember if it gave an error when you tried to install the update? I'd like to send mine in but i uninstalled root thinking it would update but im soft-bricked so i wanna see if i can get away with sending it in.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] theoathkeeperalpha@yahoo.:
Yes , i'm pretty sure i did get a few errors, but i dont remember exactly what the errors were. When i called them i just told them i woke up for work and the phone was in a bootloop, so i tried to flash the software back on to fix it and nothing i tried worked. she gave me an ra number and emailed me a prepaid postage for fedex and ive had no issues. phones due back by end of day thursday. You should be fine as long as youve owned your phone for less than a year. it will also tell you that you need to enclose a receipt where you bought it, but i didnt send it.still no troubles. they seem to know from your phone number how long youve had it .they will also make you give an authorization for them to unlock something that google did..im guessing the bootloader,but not sure. Good luck

Is this thing rootable yet?
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] theoathkeeperalpha@yahoo.:
Nope. Not on 6.0
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] theoathkeeperalpha@yahoo.:
Just got off the phone with LG because my curiosity got the best of me lol. I was informed that the phone is coming back(tomorrow) with the latest software. I also asked what they unlocked and after I spoke with a supervisor, was told it was the anti-tampering feature that was unlocked. Would that be the Bootloader? They stopped short of saying Bootloader exactly but what other anti-tampering feature could there be?hoping this leads to root ?
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] LIFE'S G00D:
Had to send mine off today for different issue. i was on rooted 5.1.1 and my camera quit. i had tried everything i could think of. i too received instructions and had to give my consent to authorize the procedure to unlock etc.i really hated to send it in because i know it will come back with mm update and be locked down :(. theoathkeeperalpha did you receive yours today? any update or details about yours?
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] theoathkeeperalpha@yahoo.:
I did get my phone back, and it is indeed on 6.0. How do i tell if bootloader is unlocked now? be as specific as possible please. i seen somewhere to put it in fastboot mode to see,but couldnt find any instructions on how to do so. They had to replace my flash memory the paperwork said, but i suspect this is a different phone unless their in the practice of removing gorilla glass screen protectors. i cant see why they would and it kinda pissed me off.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] jmacie:
I'm not sure of the easiest way. Someone should come along or I'll attempt to figure out an easy way. I imagine if you try to push busybox in dwnld mode,like you were trying to root, it would block any push, and that would confirm. Someone will let you know. Thanks for keeping us updated on your turnaround. At least you have your phone back quickly.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] LIFE'S G00D:
nope same thing happened to me when i sent mine in the first time they removed my ballistic glass when they had no reason messing with screen to begin with. was told to remove it but was hoping since wasnt needing service where it was i left it plus once removed cant put it back on so i was screwed either way. i never bought a replacement protector cause i really didnt care at that point
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] theoathkeeperalpha@yahoo.:
no problem. hopefully some of this info has been helpful to some one. I just want to be safe in the way i check the bootloader. I'm skiddish of getting another brick lol
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] theoathkeeperalpha@yahoo.:
Hmm, I used a hidden menu app and says the Bootloader status is unknown. I got that on my old droid X when it was unlocked.. Input any one?
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] LIFE'S G00D:
this phone has a lack of support im guessing.. hope something comes to light. mine reached lg today... im to the point i dont care any longer about root i rarely use it for anything other then link2sd because our version (boost mobile) is so stripped down its a must just to have normal apps on phone. with that being said being unlocked would be awesome at this point. wonder why the support is so little in the community for budget phones. they are easily affordable...they offer latest operating systems....becoming more popular then flagship phones. i personally buy budget because technology on these change so fast you can be on the latest tech and not feel the cost weight.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] theoathkeeperalpha@yahoo.:
I hear ya. The last flagship I bought was the Xpedia z ultra. I too, wish more peeps would get interested in this but I think even Dominick has moved on to some sort of ZTE warp elite, I read somewhere. Doubt he will be back in on this either. Wish I knew more about this crap. I can follow directions but no good at trying to crack Android on my own. Just guess I'll keep my fingers crossed.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] LIFE'S G00D:
still no input wow guess we have to find a dev by offering a bounty. really sad to see no one working on this phone any longer. have you found any new info regarding it? i want to call lg and tell them not to install the update lol this looks like a dead end.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] theoathkeeperalpha@yahoo.:
i havnt gotten anything usefull from any one,no. :crying: Every way i try to check my bootloader it always comes back as status unknown..that has to mean something lol. I'm convinced it is unlocked at this point and is that not the first step of getting root? or am i wrong on that? kingroot just plain doesnt support 6.0 and wont even try to root the phone.ive even been searching for generic ways to root trying to maybe learn what i need to do, or what commands to send to try and get root myself but i just cant find anything. im willing to try to do it myself i just dont know where to start unfortunately. I'm a hardware man..i can take anything apart and get it back together but software im terribly lacking in. there isnt even any twrp for the boost variant that im aware of to try and flash, or id start with that. .It sure sucks that every one seems to have given up on this phone so easily, but id throw in 50$ on a bounty
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] LIFE'S G00D:
well got mine back today cant say i dislike mm update to terribly but it is missing features i did like. sad nobody has commented on this post lol
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] cHello2k9:
I'm in the same boat as you Life's Good, I had to send mine in just after I rooted, got it working the way i wanted...had just got a new screen protector,. then woke up the next morning with an after image on half the screen and really bad fading and right after I purchased it it wouldn't show up in play store menus and device manager no matter what I'd do. So I sent it in and just got it back today.... it's on 6.0 -_-...

I am sick to my stomach. I really wish I had got another phone, from another company
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] theoathkeeperalpha@yahoo.:
It seems to me that boost is hell bent on screwing the. Stylo users any way. Ive been reading that in marshmallow the sd card can be set as internal storage, so i went and snagged a 128gb sd. Guess what? Our version doesnt have that option...go figure. Screw boost and lg, im buying a nexus 6 off ebay and moving to airvoice wireless 20$ unlimited plan.

When updateing to 6.0 on my boost stylo i get the error 7 what are the steps to fix that?
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] rb2tfm:
I hate to be the jerk that adds a 'post update' notification for the same ole same ole but I totally agree with the majority here. The jump from LL5.1.1 to MM6.0 isn't to bad even tho the only differences I see is the loss of external sd card use and root sucks..but... I knew that coming into it. I already took one of these back to Sprint for wigging out on me and the dood dropped this one as he handed it to my girlfriend, we took it due to them not having another but we made sure the drop was documented.... The phone has been acting funny and is getting worse especially without root =) sooooo... It might be going back and demanding one with LL 5.1.1 on it.

I appreciate all the time and effort from everyone.... I'm hanging in and hanging on... for now =)

Good Luck & Take~Care!

will this work to unbrick my stylo after rooting with kingroot and now 1003 booting error?
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] jmacie:
you have to RMA to LG, they'll fix it
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] TickleMeKillmo:
I have a bricked sprint Stylo (LGLS770ZV5) on 6.0 and it was bought second hand (got it off Craigslist) do you know if its still possible to have lg fix it? or i guess the better question is do you think it would cost anything and if so think it would be a lot?

if anyone can help here's where I'm at:

rooted with kingroot and got the insecure 1003 error on reboot.

initially i could get into recovery but i tried a factory reset and now when i try to get to recovery it shows the erasing animation as if i did a factory reset.

i can still get into download mode, so if a laf file existed id be able to recover that way.

i tried the instructions in the official unbrick thread but when i ran the "dd" command i was answered with "hello i am LAF, Nice to meet you."

I'm not sure if that was due to the wrong update zip i was using or because I'm on 6.0

I'm gonna retry with this 6.0 zip and hope that works but I'm not holding my breath.

retried with this zip, same outcome.

Anyone know what i can to to fix this paperweight?

[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] jmacie:
Marshmallow has the newer dm-verity secure boot package that can't be cracked at this point. KIngroot is how I bricked, tho not with a secure boot error, just froze on me. Kingroot is only working up to Lollipop 5.1.

There is no other way to fix this than sending it in. Technically the phone has a 1 year warranty, but I'm not sure how it going to work with a second owner. You have no choice but to try. They do ask about who your ISP is, how much you payed for the phone, the date you bought it, and want a copy of the bill of sale. They also asked what happened and you obviously don't want to tell them about kingroot. Just tell them it was a product of the ZV5 Lollipop to ZV7 Marshmallow update. Maybe you can figure a way to falsify being the 2nd owner.So I guess you just need to try to return it. The fastest way is calling the LG support. then they do a quick triage to see if it might be fixed, they send you a link to fill out a more detailed request, then they call you again. I called back after an hour and said I couldn't wait for a call as my contact # was a landline, and they handled it right away. They re-asked all the questions again and stated they'd examine the phone. They sent a return prepaid label for fedex and it took 10 days total turnaround. If it was me, I'd give it a shot, like you said you have a brick otherwise. Good Luck
