The Boost Mobile version of the phone has a locked bootloader. So unfortunately it would not work. Your bootloader needs to be unlocked in order to run fastboot commands
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] ShonPu:
what if I sent my phone to LG when it was in bootloop, and they sent me new phone is that still a boost phone or a LG phone with boost services?
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Telyx:
I'm sure they would send you the same model as a replacement.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] T-Macgnolia:
I have read some conflicting posts about the Boost mobile model. Do you know if fastboot oem unlock works on the Boost mobile variant?
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] aaron2z:
Do you know if you can select OEM Unlock Bootloader in your developer settings?

You can always try to follow the steps here and once you get to your fastboot screen try the command fastboot oem unlock T-Macgnolia mentioned. If it doesnt work then no you cant root.

Also it would probably be the same phone...

I dont think it does. Everywhere i read its locked and if you try to root when you reboot you get "secure boot error" and end up in a brick. But I'm T-Mobile so idk for sure. I quoted and asked him here. But i thinked hes bricked for now in bootloop according to his recent post...

I cant seem to get my phone recognized in fastboot . Device manager shows adb driver installed , but once I'm in fastboot it will not pick it up and says there is a driver issue . Very frustrating .
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] billybubba1234:
I didn't find the fastboot drivers in the latest LG drivers package either, and it's definitely not in the one installed by the phone after the Marshamallow update. What I did was download and install the old LG United Mobile driver (search for it), went into device manager (I'm in Windows 10), found the usb device without a driver, manually added it, and selected the HTC Sense fastboot driver. Then fastboot detects as normal.

Updated the guide to show steps to properly use Kingroot to root successfully.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] stoehner:
Ok got root for metro variant via this method. Took me forever. Installing java and the SDK took the longest, plus I hadn't used adb in years. I couldn't get SU installed with fastboot using twrp. So i used kingroot then flashed SU. For some reaaon SU didn't stick so I had to use kingroot a second time. Finally got it to stick with the second flash. Thanks for the guide!!!

PS: TiBU isnt working, is this a known issue? Any workaround?

Damn, turns out that recovery.IMG reverts you to 5.1.1 lollipop, and it took me some time to download marshmallow with the Internet's at mom's house.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Telyx:
recovery.img is just TWRP recovery... it can't revert you to LP by itself.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] popwar:
adb wont even find my recovery.img . Says its not a valid filename
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Telyx:
What are you typing in fastboot? First, make sure your ADB is running in the same folder where recovery.img is saved. Then, type fastboot boot recovery.img

(I was typing fastboot boot recovery recovery.img and got that same message. When I left out the extra "recovery" it booted the phone to TWRP right away.)
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] stoehner:
I left out "boot" my first attempt and got same error. Make sure also the recovery img is in the same folder as the fastboot tool. It will only search that directory.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] popwar:
fastboot flash recovery.img . its in same folder .
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] stoehner:
Have you tried the coomand "adb devices' to see if its even recognizing your phone?
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] popwar:
Yes. Even command fastboot devices its recognized
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] stoehner:
If you can get the bootloader unlocked you can flash twrp through flashify once rooted with kingroot. That way you don't have to mess with fasboot

[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] CollisionFactor:
Ok so, reading through all of these posts I have gathered that KingRoot will give the T-Mobile version root after the OEM unlock with adb and fastboot. If I want a permanent TWRP recovery, I will have to flash recovery.img with flashify after OEM unlock and I can boot twrp during unlock so it wont factory reset my phone (i hate going through initial setup). Please correct me if i am wrong.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] totallybeachin:
Wondering if I could get some feedback from you guys.

I am trying to help a friend with this process.

He has the correct version of the stylo for this thread (T-Mobile/MetroPCS).

When going through the steps, we are getting hung up at step 5.

After the command for reboot bootloader, all we get is 'waiting for devices'.

Allow OEM unlock is toggled on as well as allow usb debugging.

Any suggestions?
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] tube517:

Fastboot Issues

I have installed the drivers a few times and I still can not get fastboot to see the device. I have an android device conflict in the device manager only after it boots to fastboot. any help would be appreciated. Been at this for 2.5 hours now haha. I am on Windows 7 x64 ultimate edition if that helps. Would it be easier for me to just create a persistent linux stick?
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Jefedfur:
This may work for others having a problem with fastboot.......

Ok. So after a ton of no luck I got my computer recognizing my stylo in fastboot.

Open your device manager after you've booted in to fastboot mode. If you have an unknown named android right click it and select update driver. Then select browse computer. From there pick select from list of devices and choose android device. Now select android bootloader interface and install that bastard.... Poof fastboot sees the device....

[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Jamaal57g:
So I've ran into the same problem, with the drivers. I've attemted to install sdk, google, lg, and android device drivers to no avail. Half of them won't even let me install because windows says the device isn't signed to the correct device that windows thinks it is. I tried the bootloader interface drivers and it won't install because its "not the correct driver". I wish windows 10 would give you more say in the matter. Also can't do kingroot without unlocking the bootloader so i'm stuck. Anyone else have any insight into the drivers matter? theres not too much on the interwebs about the matter. Maybe if we could boot the phone into some kind of prolonged recovery mood to make the computer read it as the bootloader automatically.

What you need to do is download the LG Flash Tool 2014 and the stock KDZ for your device. There is a youtube video by caleb loschiavo that walks you through the process. Very helpful but be advised that the kdz is for metro pcs. It will work on tmobile just to boot it up but you will need the kdz for tmobile to restore it fully. I bricked mine a couple weeks ago and found this. There is also a thread on here that has the stock tmobile kdz for download.

Have you tried uninstalling everything, revoking usb, opting to manually install drivers in windows when a device is plugged in and started from scratch? I ran into the same issue and this is what I did.....

Uninstalled/deleted adb and fastboot, uninstalled device drivers, revoked usb, deleted the RSAkey from windows (just do a search), opted to install drivers manually and rebooted both my PC and device.

1. Install minimal adb and fastboot

2. Install LGMobile Driver 4.1.1

3. Check USB debugging and OEM Unlock.

4. Plug in device and allow (make sure device is in MTP)

5. Open terminal in adb and run adb devices twice and accept the RSA toast (I didnt check the always remember)

6. Run adb reboot bootloader

7. Go to device manager

8. Right click on Android under android device ( if it foesnt show then go to view/show hidden devices) and select properties

9. Go to driver/update driver/browse my computer

10. Select let me pick....

11. Select android device and next

12. Select android bootloader interface and next and install.

13. Go back to Android Device and make sure you have the following: Android bootloader interface, Android Composite ADB Interface and LGE Mobile ADB Interface. If all of that is there, try to run the fastboot devices command to see if it reads it.

Hope this helps!

when you plug your phone in to a computer what does it do exactly?

Sent from rooted H631
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] najoor:
Thank you for your response. Below is the relevant information:

1- the command "adb reboot bootloader" does not reboot the phone into the bootloader mode. It only reboot the phone as in normal reboot.

2- To get the phone into the bootloader mode I have to turn the phone off and connect it to the computer USB while holding the volume up button. then a splash screen appears with the words "firmware update". I think that is what the bootloader mode should look like, right?

3- In this mode running "fastboot devices" returns an empty line meaning that the pc doesn't recognize the phone.

4- when I open the device manager on the pc i can see the phone under portable devices with an exclamation mark. When i open its properties i see the error message mentioned in my post.

5- if I connect the phone to the PC when it's booted up in normal mode the PC detects it correctly.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] CollisionFactor:
so when you plug the phone in while holding vol + you are booting it to download mode and not to fastboot mode. I will ask that you do the following:

1. uninstall anything you have on your computer i.e. ADB/fastboot, drivers, etc.

2. ensure you have your developer options enabled. if not, go to settings/about phone/software info and tap on your build number until you so a toast message stating you have unlocked. then go back and go into the options, check usb debugging and OEM Unlock. those 2 are important.

3. in the same options revoke usb authorities

4. reinstall your phones drivers by simply connecting the phone to the pc and let it do its thing. then, locate the thread on XDA for minimal adb and fastboot, download the file and install it.

5. locate the ADB folder on your C drive, open it and hold shift when right clicking and select open command window here.

6. Type adb devices to make sure the pc recognizes your phone and make sure you accept the RSA toast on you phone. if you do not accept it you will have to revoke usb authorities again. if your pc recognizes it, then you can adb reboot bootloader. this command will get you into fastboot. your phone will reboot and a splash screen will pop up stating you are in fastboot mode.

7. if you have made it this far, type fastboot devices. if the line doesnt return anything or states its waiting on device, then you will need to manually install the android bootloader interface. reboot your phone and adb reboot bootloader back to fastboot. go to device manager and loacate "android device" it should have a triangle on it. right click and go to properties. go to drivers and select update. i cant quite remember off hand but there should be a section to manually select drivers. locate android bootloader interface and install it, then do fastboot devices. if the line returns some number/letter combo with device, you are ready to go.

I hope this helps. I will locate more info from the other threads ive posted on and put them in here for you.
