[LG Stylo 2  Questions & Answers] DirtyPISTOLA:
I was so desperate for temp root I just bought another phone there only $94 on Amazon right now new ones come with v3 temp root software a little extreme but I don't really know how to find root vulnerabilities i was able to do what I did because kingroot temp rooted the phone so Lord knows how long it will take for root to come to v4 just keep checking every new release of kingroot and see if it roots the phone.
[LG Stylo 2  Questions & Answers] lynx217:
I bought mine on Amazon it forced v4 on me
[LG Stylo 2  Questions & Answers] DirtyPISTOLA:
OK so what I did after I bought my second one was follow this tutorial https://youtu.be/sefGxWyppJM to bypass the frp screen when it first boots up then go straight to download kingroot and temp root then get a system app remover and either freeze or remove anything that's a system app that says update in it and if your phone tells you it downloaded the update then get a root explorer and go to I believe /cache/fota is where the update is downloaded to(it's approximately 100mb) then delete it that's how I kept mine from updating and haven't gotten a update pop-up since
[LG Stylo 2  Questions & Answers] jimmytwotimes.parker:
That's helpful. I saw that video. Didn't know what it was for. Can I still do it since I've had phone for awhile now.
[LG Stylo 2  Questions & Answers] DirtyPISTOLA:
Yeah I was able to do that on my wife's Stylo 2 with v4 and mine with v3 at least the screen bypass part you need at least temp root to delete the OTA update and freeze the update apps

[LG Stylo 2  Questions & Answers] awest1981:
As far as i can figure you have to use it along side android source code to build the file you need to flash. I unfortunately can not figure out how to merge this into the android source code as I had planned on trying to build it but unfortunately I am not tech savvy enough at this point. And as far as LG goes they told me they do not have the KDZ file I requested they only had drivers. Maybe I contacted the wrong department within LG.

[LG Stylo 2  Questions & Answers] StoneRcold:
updates

I have also tried and failed to root this phone with kingroot. displays success, but the device never survives reboot. if you absolutely must have the phone and dont need data, your carrier should gladly hand you a replacement if you walk in and act like it bricked during a carrier update :angel:

as far as permanent root, i have compiled a kernel but no cigar with flashing. kernel works fine in emulator, just not device. some have reported success with one click methods involving a pc, but i am not willing to try as i only have one phone at the moment.

Does anyone else have any information for the root status of this phone?

I would love to if I KNEW there was a way to recovery. I got mine, LGLS775ABB ZV4 last Friday from BestBuy on sale for $119! out of the box it had an update awaiting and thanks to a tut on xda I got the logcat, found the URL and got lucky enough to be allowed 1 download of it!

https://mega.nz/#!6BMlmIZB!CBKqxLvGl3c2EfYXj6_hIbdUKxPtbfWzgoglQb0d5aA

454.4mb unzips to 1.02gb and if you can find anyway of recovering from a bootloop with this I as well as many others would be greatly appreciative! From reading posts Kingroot 4.9.6 will give temp root but bootloops device on restart. Kingroot 4.9.7 which I am trying doesn't bootloop but allows you to make a request, que'd me @ like 4,496 in the reguest line!

I have a script for Terminal that will replace Kingroot with SuperSU, so if there is a way to recover (if the script involves, or it automatically restarts from getting temp root) I would be more than happy to experiment.

Messi2050 needs just a couple of items, such as boot.img I believe and/or 1 other file to whip up TWRP for this excellent device!

Trying to find it in my files again, found an apk that creates folder in '0' that has SuperSU in and running:

su

sh /sdcard/mrw/root.sh

in Terminal is supposed to switch Kingroot for SuperSU...........

I've just been thrown off on this long journey of trying to find/make sure I can recover from a bootloop or whatever in case of problems..................

Have the ZV5 update downloaded, but Boost Mobile's LGLS775ABB ZV4 (ZV5 now after update) does not have the .dll file for LGUP. I have downloaded other variants .dll for LGUP. Can get it to list in LGUP's .com window but it still says it cannot open it.

Any ideas, updates in any dev' work........... please let me know.

[LG Stylo 2  Questions & Answers] roadrun777:
Would someone kindly point me to the msl from esn distributed compute engine ?

This phone supports all GSM and CDMA but dragon has put lots of blocks in the software to make it artificially disabled.

1- enable debugging and OEM

2- open the gsm gcp rokey module

3- generate the port, take the model LS775

4-go lg tab and then give the option to sprint unlock

And ready it works full GSM

For those who say that after releasing system error, simply do a factory reset, this happens only with the software LS775ZV4 onwards.

1 - volume + and we introduce usb cable you are in the form of discharge and generates a (com port). In my case it was the port with 103.

2 - we chose the model (ls675) of the octo pus.

Only thing I want to use this phone for is to switch between all carriers so GSM and CDMA.

I know its possible with this one. I do not know why you want root? I would just settle for removal of sublock and domestic gsm lock. Could use a dual sim adapter and fun fun...

Anyone happen to know if I can root the Cricket Stylo 2? I know this is a thread for the Boost variant but I figured it couldn't hurt to ask! I had asked on the XDA G+ community and was directed here. If anyone has any idea how to root this variant, by all meams, please let me know.

Also, ADB won't recognize the phone even with OEM unlock and ADB debugging on. Any ideas? Would using Linux help any?
[LG Stylo 2  Questions & Answers] Andromeda_Station:
I don't think so...there's a similar thread over on androidforums and the Cricket and Virgin Mobile guys are in the same boat as Boost Mobile people. One guy managed to get TWRP running on his but it's not very functional.

AFAIK it's usually up to your carrier to push the update to your phone....with some (like Boost mobile) there is no way to force or manually download it, so you just have to wait if that's the case.

There is a downloadable image in this thread:

https://xdaforums.com/android/general/tot-stock-firmware-tot-nougat-7-0-lg-t3552990

Anybody verify this work for LS775 ? sounds like the right idea

Anyway.

how about this Root Option:

from source here

Extract RootOneClickv1.3.zip to a folder on your desktop.

From the folder you extracted above, run RootOneClick.exe.

Connect your LG Stylo 2 V phone via usb and wait for RootOneClick to detect.

Once detected click to Root.

You may select any of the both rooting method.

Once complete disconnect your phone and see if there’s superuser and busybox installed

If there’s then you are rooted!
