Thank you for the tips. I followed everything and I always get the same result at step 6: When I run "adb reoot bootloader" the phone reboots normally and not into the fastboot mode.

I finally gave up on unlocking my bootloader and since I am still of 5.1.1 I tried the method I found here which basically injects supersu 2.46 into /system without unlocking the bootloader or modifying the kernel.

Unless someone with the walmart version of H631 can confirm here that they have successfully unlocked the bootloader on the unmodified firmware, I am suspecting that the walmart version ether has a locked bootloader or LG has disabled the fastboot mode on this particular version. There is precedent for the latter because it seems that they did the same thing for G3. See: http://xdaforums.com/tmobile-lg-g3/general/how-to-boot-lg-g3-fastboot-mode-t3087445

EDIT: After I updated to marshmallow the bootloader mode suddenly became available with the option to unlock. So it is safe to say the bootlaoder is locked in Lollipop and unlockable in Marshmallow. I don't know if it is only true for the Walmart/T-Mobile version or also for the T-Mobile proper version as well, but I suspect the latter.

By chance does anyone have a stock recovery.img for the T-Mobile variant?
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] najoor:
This is the stock recovery from 5.1.1 (H63110j). Unzip it and install with flashify.

I'm on: TMO MM 6.0 LG G Style H63120b

I followed the steps outlined originally by OP (skipping Kingroot). I'm doing everything from Linux. Bootloader unlocked fine. TWRP would not flash, which was fine. I booted into TWRP without flashing it. I installed SU using TWRP. Everything seemed to go okay. But then ...

It rebooted to a factory reset machine. And I have no root. Nothing seems broken. I just lost all my content. That's not a huge loss. I back everything up regularly. But it is a pain to have to reinstall everything.

But how do I get root? Can't use Flashify until I get root. I don't want to just go through the same steps again, what would be the point?

Any ideas would be appreciated.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] ustamills:
NVM.

I did do the steps again, just for .... whatever. I don't know why. Exact same steps worked this time. Maybe the factory reset helped. Who knows. Anyway, I'm rooted! And no Kingroot either (I skipped the 6-1 step). I had to use Flashify to install TWRP but then I did have to do these extra steps:

After all was completed, reboot got stuck at the LG screen (with the Bootloader Unlocked message). Got really nervous at this point. So I did this:

adb devices ### to check on the connection

adb reboot bootloader ### To get back to bootloader state

sudo fastboot devices ### Sanity check again

sudo fastboot reboot

And it worked! Thanks OP!

Does this work on the 20g update? And if so, my bootloader is already unlocked
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] najoor:
Request

If you have unlocked your bootloader and rooted your phone can you please run the following in a terminal, then click on "keybox check" and let me know what you get?

su
am start -n com.lge.wv.hidden/com.lge.wv.hidden.WVTest

On an unlocked bootloader with root you would see something like the attached picture.

Am I the only one who can't get into fastboot?

When I type in adb reboot bootloader, it does not go into fastboot, it just reboots. I've tried revoking USB privileges and reconnecting to the computer. It shows up when I type adb devices, but doesn't boot to fastboot. Am I the only one having this problem.

Long story short....i used this method several months ago and it worked. I unrooted at some pointand now want to regain root again. My bootloader is still unlocked. My device shows up with adb but is not found with fastboot. I have all the drivers installed the only step im skipping is unlocking bootloader since mine is already unlocked. Could it be a problem with my fastboot installation? I only installed the the bare bone package with adb and fastboot. Like I said I got it to work a few months ago but can't get fastboot to recognize my device any longer.

There is an android bootloader interface that needs to be installed on ur PC for your device to be recognised...run adb reboot bootloader and locate your device in device manager....if it has a yellow triangle you need to install the bootloader interface

hi, ive been trying to root my stylo for the last few days and i seem to have hit a speed bump. I cant seem to locate recovery mode. I've reached the step where i enter "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" and i see that it installs, but when i try "fastboot boot recovery.img" or even "fastboot reboot recovery" i get nowhere.

last thing i see is:

c:\users\***\desktop fastboot boot recovery.img

downloading 'boot.img'...

okay [0.376s]

booting

FAILED (remote: unknown command)

finished. total time: 0.392s

and this is as far as i can get. Even trying to boot into recovery with power and volume down does nothing. Ive tried with and without usb plugged in as well as power and up volume and even all 3 buttons but cant for the life of me get past this point. Im almost certain that I followed every step as instructed so im stumped .

Hopefully someone can give me a moment of their time to get this sorted as Id appreciate it greatly...

Thanks in advance,.

[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] CollisionFactor:
It just clears the RSA key from your phone. So try the following:

1. Developer options > revoke usb authorities

2. Make sure OEM unlock is clicked

3. Ensure usb debugging is on

4. Install kingroot older version and let it root. Could take a couple times

5. Once rooted, install flashify and flash recovery.img

6. Install any app to reboot to recovery and then install supersu.zip file and reboot

Do a youtube search for h631 kdz and download the LG flashtool 2014 from Caleb. Then find the h63110j.kdz from xda and follow the steps in the video. Super easy to do.

Try to boot twrp by following this:

1. Open a command box in your ADB folder (make sure the recovery.img is in that folder)

2. adb reboot bootloader

3. fastboot boot recovery recovery.img

4. Twrp should boot and from there you can install supersu.zip

5. After install, reboot your phone and discard any promts asking if you want to inatall supersu

After your phone boots, run supersu and you should be rooted. Then install flashify and flash recovery.img if you want twrp permanently

I've noticed that when I plug it in to the pc it still connect but because I can't allow for the connection I can't get access. If there was a way to bypass that part then we'd be able to get into bootloader and flash the fix or reboot to twrp and flash a recovery (I have a recovery that I backed up before I tried to flash katana rom) can I get a link to that flash tool? It may have a step to getting into bootloader.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PolishVodka:
You're on LP bootloader which does not allow you boot custom kernel (locked bootloader). Downgrade to KitKat bootloader, custom recoveries and kernels are BUMPED (signed), and KK bootloader thinking these images are official, will pass it to boot.

Use AutoRec for LP from Google Play, it will do everything by one click. Because after flashing KK bootloader, official kernel of Lollipop cannot be booted too as i remember. Anyway AutoRec app will downgrade bootloader, flashes recovery TWRP and modded official kernel image, so will do everything you need.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bill720:
AutoRec, you had one job...

AutoRec seems not to work. I installed the VS980 version for the Verizon variant of the phone, but all the app has is a picture of lollipops. Tapping the one at the bottom restores my (corrupted) backup, while tapping the one at the top does absolutely nothing. Any ideas?

UPDATE (8:42PM) -

Figured it out! In the SuperSU app, I disabled "mount namespace separation" and "tapjacking protection" before rebooting and trying AutoRec one more time. This enabled the hidden install button behind the lollipop icon in the app and allowed TWRP to be installed instantly. Hooray!
