[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] jmacie:
Bricked my phone. Sent it off to LG yesterday. I got all carried away with altering the build.prop and root-uninstalling google apps. I had disabled the apps previous to the kingroot exploit, and decided that now with temp root I would be O.K. Well, I started getting this google service quitting popup continuously and it un-nerved me enough to do a factory reset. I foolishly forgot to at least try to clean out all the kingroot and supersu files etc that were in there, and when it re-booted I couldn't get beyond wi-fi setup as when it attempted to hook up with my google account, the dredded google services stopped popped up. Even after reset. So off to LG. They were nice at 2:30 am and that was pretty cool. I hope they don't give me grief, but it was factory reset and the temp root was gone. So fingers crossed. [MENTION=7196094]theoathkeeperalpha@yahoo.[/MENTION] did you ever find out how to check your bootloader? It seems to me the times I booted into recovery (volume dwn/power) and chose restart bootloader the phone would just reboot. If the bootloader was unlocked would it go into the bootloader menu? That's where fastboot would come into play. Anyway I'm going to be skiddish about messing around if and when my phone gets returned, like everyone else.
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] theoathkeeperalpha@yahoo.:
I stopped using the stylo before I even found the temp root. So I wasn't afraid to screw it up lol. Same thing happened to me that happened to you and I flashed the file Dom posted the untouched 6.0 and it worked for me. Still tinkering and the stylo has pretty much become the phone that's teaching me my way around adb .

I bought the Irulu V3 6.5 inch screen 16gb ROM and 2 gigs ram off amazon for 149 bucks..don't let the price fool you..damn good phone so far! If you're around WiFi all the time like me you can get unlimited talk text and 100mb of web at airvoice wireless for 20$. Make sure you have good at&t service where you live . Its like a sore peter,you can't beat it. :cowboy:
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] jmacie:
You mean you flashed Dominic's untouched 6.0 on top of a bricked 6.0? I maybe should have tried that.
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] theoathkeeperalpha@yahoo.:
Yea, flashed right over the top
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] KrYmSiiN:
Been ghosting on this site for a while now, but now I should really start putting my 2 cents in.

Anyways, I had the G Stylo for VM and bricked it when I tried to replace the Kingroot binaries with SuperSU ones. Ironically enough, before I did that, It seemed that my root permissions didnt stick until AFTER my reboot. When I bricked I stayed up all night trying to get my phone back but was unsuccessful seeing as I also factory reset :crying: But I just got my second phone back from Best Buy after I had issues with my sim. Gonna go try to get kingroot back on it. Any tips for me prior? Weirdest thing is that this phone came from the factory with Marshmallow.. Connect at VM told me the manufacture date was January 1st. Running Ubuntu 15.10 and am struggling to get ADB backup to save a file that has a size higher than 0 bytes..

I got my VM Stylo from Best Buy too. It came with 6.0 as well. kingroot has not worked on it at all. Maybe that's a good thing...
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] theoathkeeperalpha@yahoo.:
I had trouble with Ubuntu 15.10 as well. Having better luck with 11.4. Hope this helps
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] KrYmSiiN:
Realistically i'll just skip the backups til i get root. Any news of getting into the bootloader? My first one would go into what I believe to be bootloader mode but still wouldnt come up under fastboot unless im getting things mixed up. And what are we using to flash on this pile?
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] KrYmSiiN:
Alrighty now; I was able to use Kingroot on my phone and gained root permissions. In doing this, I used an adb shell and dumped my recovery, boot, system, and a couple other things to my storage, then pulled them to my computer. Gonna see if I can make some sort of effort to throw a custom recovery on her. It did freeze up once so i had to pull the battery, but was able to get root back by running kingroot a couple times like before.

You were able to root 6.0 MM?

What Kingroot were you using? From this site, play, or another site? Please post the link for others!
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] theoathkeeperalpha@yahoo.:
It's a temp root. You lose it at reboot. And I used 4.8.0

Thank you, I found that here on XDA: http://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/one-click-root-tool-android-2-x-5-0-t3107461.

Check out Chainfire's SuperSU beta. Its made for Android 6 systemless root: http://xdaforums.com/apps/supersu/2014-09-02-supersu-v2-05-t2868133 ...could help remove Kingroot and keep root.

UPDATE: SuperSU beta doesn't download it's binaries after installing the APK.
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] jmacie:
Do you remember flashing the update.zip on top? Did you go through recovery? I tried to guide some guys that were bricked to flash and none of us could flash through recovery it said the sdcard wouldn't mount. Just wondering if this is how you flashed, thanks
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] theoathkeeperalpha@yahoo.:
Think I had to back up everything on SD card to PC, then format the SD card to get it to mount. But yeah, used recovery
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] dip_spit:
I did that. However it's still unsuccessful.

Brick #2, trying to add net.tethering.noprovisioning=true to build.prop, boot screen freeze. For some reason because Virgin didn't allow tethering,when LG flashed my phone on brick #1 it wasn't in there. I'm not on Virgin, but my new phone co. includes tethering. I had it enabled in LP and when I got the OTA it was there. When I bricked #1 and got it back straight flashed not upgraded, the tethering wasn't there. Adding it to the build.prop borked me. I hope LG hooks me up again. We'll see.......
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] dip_spit:
Oiiiiiii. Didn't you just get that back yesterday? I wonder if LG will charge you for the second brick. Was the tethering option not there for your current provider? When I get my new one from Walmart, I'm not gonna be rooting or anything until lglaf gets sorted.
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] jmacie:
Yep, just got it back. I put in my request for a rma, but don't know what they'll do. Maybe they'll want to look at it and then decide. I'm gonna stay far from adding new build.prop entrees, and probably from kingroot too for a while. I don't exactly know how they can refuse me, they don't know what I've done until they examine it, and it is supposed to be warranted till next Nov. I guess I have to hope for the best. I'll let everyone know what happens.

---------- Post added at 09:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:48 PM ----------

When I got bought the phone I got it from Virgin, I activated it with ringplus a sprint MVNO with tethering. Virgin didn't have tethering, it was not an option in Network settings. We had root on Lollipop and I hacked in tethering without going into the build.prop. When I updated to MM it kept tethering in the settings. When it bricked LG flashed straight up Virgin Mobile variant of MM, (no tethering) I tried the hack and it didn't work, so I added the net.tethering.noprovisioning=true to build.prop and it froze the phone. I reset five times and it was still froze. Just learning the hard way. LG might hassle me, but maybe not, I mean we know that supersu wasn't going to be a factor as I was using kingroot that was temp and cleared out each reboot, so it was erased and there may be traces of what I was doing, but they didn't say anything last time, and it wasn't the same errors that you guys had with secure boot, so we'll see

Ringplus is free and has free data and tethering, much better for me than $30/month from boost. Technically boost is an mvno of sprint

my phone is too bricked from using king root as a temp root for 6.0 i talked to lg cs and they asked me what error was my phone giving i told them error 1003 and they still told me my phone phone was warrantied what sucks though is i dont have a receipt anymore they told me a photo copy would work but i told them i didnt have one so basically even with this brick its still covered under warrenty but unfortunately for me i dont have a receipt

you register with lg page i do i have send the phone for warranty nd dont ask receipt
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] Anonimust0704:
Does anyone know why whatever files get erased during reboot that knocks out the soft root? I tried installing superuser while rooted and rebooted the phone but it tried to reboot into recovery but had "No Command". Then I restarted the phone and the root was knocked out again. The highest completion I received was 70% with the latest version before failing even though it was rooted. Strange.

how did you brick your phone are you getting error code 1003 and you are on a boot looping back to the code 1003?

ALL YOU ARE IS SOFT BRICK ALL YOU NEED IS TO USE ( LG Flash Tool 2014) AND FLASH THE STOCK MS63110j_00.kdz
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] dip_spit:
No, he said he has an LS770. He's hard bricked. As of right now only LG can fix E 1003. The CDMA Stylos don't have a .kdz to flash.
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] eightiesbaby:
i wish it were as simple as flashing MS63110j_00.kdz thats for tmobile but we are either boost mobile or virgin mobile users there is no kdz or dll files available for our phone in my case i bricked using kingroot as temp root for 6.0 all was good for days until i decided to reboot my phone and it never booted back up , stuck in the boot secure error 1003 boot loop

Eh. It has it's uses, but not for a whole post. Try using LGLAF, boot.img, and dd if=<location_to_the_directory>/boot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 to see if you get anything other than "Hello, I'm LAF...."

That's what I was working on but FedEx picked mine up Monday. If you are able to write to any partitions then here is a list of them:

If you're on Windows it'll be: python partitions.py --restore <location_to_the_directory>/boot.img boot

If you're on Linux it'll be: ./partitions.py --restore <location_to_the_directory>/boot.img boot

I doubt you'll be able to write anything because LAF kept ignoring the commands I sent and just said "Hello, I'm..."

And if you are able to write to partitions then you may have to just keep writing over ones until you find the right one.

Dominic had said that writing to boot fixed his 1003 error but that was before the zv7 update. LG may have changed something in LAF with update but I don't have partition dumps of zv5 and zv4 to compare with zv7.

bootmobile stylo ls770 bricked

this temp root is a good way to brick your phone. tried it on my stylo g4 MM, ran fine for an hour or so then randomly rebooted and ended up with the dreaded error 1003....... This was a bone stock phone about 2 weeks old. no real issues previously other than wanted to remove some of the bloatware. That said, I have a back up .img file of the stock rom that I would like to install on the phone to get it back up and running and rather than spend a ton of time surfing the previous threads can some one lead me in the right direction to the most strait forward simple reinstall thread also as a side note the phone will not mount up to my sd card in the recovery mode. I have tried two dif sd cards both known good and currently working class 10 32 gig svo samsung cards. tried formatting them in the typical formats ,fat32, ex and so forth so not sure what the problem is there. the phone read the original card just fine before the crash and the card still works fine in other devices.

You don't have an access point with a locked bootloader in Marshmallow. You must exchange or return your phone like [MENTION=777162]emanuelrv[/MENTION]l said. Which version of kingroot did you use? Some are saying the brick with kingroot was because "OEM unlock" wasn't checked in dev options, or that busybox was installed and other various reasons. I ask because there seem to be discrepancies about the role kingroot is playing in the brick. Kingroot is only for up to Lollipop 5.1 and even though I'm using it to temp root MM 6.0 and I have bricked before, I didn't get a secure boot error brick. I'm trying to narrow down what the common circumstances are when bricking, thanks

So do we have root on the boost mobile lg gstylo with MM 6.0?
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] jmacie:
No root, it's not going to be soon, as the only MM root is with unlocked bootloaders. If you want temp root, with kingroot, I suggest you uninstall it before the phone reboots. I bricked and sent mine to LG to unbrick. I bricked restarting the phone gambling it would hold root Many many others have bricked the same way. Kingroot is only fully working up to Lollipop 5.1.1. So be aware

[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] cHello2k9:
Crap, Boost/Sprint is trying to push out another update on me(not sure what it is), my phone has like less than 500mb of space left despite the fact that I keep deleting stuff, the system seems to expand more than i could keep up with. The moment I download the update, I'm like 51% sure there's going to be a 6.0 root. I really need to root this phone before I break it... or maybe i'll just switch to MetroPCS... hopefully they have one of those free phone arrangements going on
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] fix-this!:
since when does sprint-boost-virgin lock bootloaders up? anyways i just saw the lg g stylo 2 is out on boost and virgin. i assume it cant be rooted either but it does have an updated cpu, 2gb ram and 16gb storage. if i can find one i may get that instead. my son only needs adblocking.
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] cHello2k9:
So wait, they're releasing a phone with the exact same specs as the Metro PCS version... yet still doesn't have NFC support -_-... I'm just going to save my money and get a flagship phone which has more support in the community. I would like to hold off though, because this isn't a bad phone if I could get the past the storage issue.
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] fix-this!:
Nfc doesnt matter to my son but I agree about the storage. Id buy the stylo 2 but its quite a bit more $$ than what I want to spend for a low-mid ranger. I just hope we get root for 6.0 eventually.
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] cHello2k9:
The price at the moment is the same I paid for the Stylo($149), but I just bought the Stylo a few months ago.. the combined cost both phones is $300 not including tax, I could buy a G3 for that. So you're right about not wanting to pay that. I just wrote boostmobile trying to see if they can cut me a deal on a new device before i abandon them and move to Metro
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] cHello2k9:
The phone is $50 when you switch on Cricket Wirless
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] cHello2k9:
I got a call back today, after some negotiation they paid my next months bill (30 amonth + the 3 fee for reloading, I would've had to pay), I think I get a $30 mail in rebate, I also get 30% the purchase of my next device(which will be the Stylo 2), and they offered to buy back my phone for $35, but I'm going to sell it for $50...

So the phone I want is the Stylo 2, so after the 30% it'll be $125-30-33-35 =27

but since I'm selling the phone for 50, I get the phone for $12.

The power of asking ...

I wonder if we start a social media campaign if we'd stand a better chance of getting the bootloader unlocked.
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] fix-this!:
Lg should be offering a tool to unlock. Usually sprint phones and its affiliates arent bootloader locked. A petition wont do any good. Im sure if we had more devs they could find an exploit for basic perm root.
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] BLuttrell94:
Question.

I've read all 8 pages. My head hurts.

Recap (correct me if I'm wrong):

I don't want to brick anything and I see that king root only supports up to 5.1.1 because of the locked boot loader. Under dev options OEM unlock is an option. This unlocks the bootloader. (Hard or soft?) I just got the newest update to zv8 6.0 MM

So has anyone tried :

OEM unlocking with the newest update and using king root?

If yes, then did it stick? If no, could you switch to SuperSu, etc to make it stick?

Just thought some fresh eyes might help. Thanks.
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] jmacie:
There is no root. I bricked my ZV8 with kingroot three days ago, no solution to fix yet. OEM bootloader unlock in dev ops is only to protect phones with unlocked bootloader from being hacked if lost or stolen. In other words your cell company makes a deal with LG to unlock or not If unlocked, it can't be rooted unless OEM unlocked is checked, giving you one last safeguard if it is stolen. Locked bootloader in 5.1.1 was not an issue as Android 5 didn't have dm-verity.

I would hold out on kingroot until there is a ZV8 flash, unless you want to send your brick to Lg to get it fixed.
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] BLuttrell94:
Okay, that answers me. Is it this phone or is it MM?

And just to throw this out there, I downloaded king root. before it tried to root it told me it wouldn't not work, it had a half of a star out of 3 rating, and only 661 people who have tried succeeded. I seem inclined to believe that is simply successful roots. Not sticky roots.

So me and my observant self backed out and uninstalled.
