[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] coolbeans2016:
For everyone looking to use the adoptable storage in MM that carriers have disabled. I run into directions to do this in these Stylo 2 + forums but it is incomplete. All of the threads I have read on XDA (doesn't mean everyone of them, haven't read them all!) have not included every single step in the process completely........ Here are the exact, complete steps (including splitting the card between internal/external, my fav):

Adoptable Storage in MM:

adb shell

sm list-disks

sm list-volumes all

sm set-force-adoptable true

sm partition disk:179,64 private (replace with "mixed" & what number you want to be external, ie: mixed 80 will leave 80% of card as external, 20% internal)

sm set-force-adoptable false

sm list-volumes all

NOTE: the fourth command partitions your SD card, and may take 2-3 minutes (or longer) to complete, depending on the size of your card. plus make sure you have a reliable and fast SD Card.

Disconnect your phone from the USB cable and reboot it. The reboot is crucial. Your phone may (or may not) take a bit longer to boot this time.

Once your phone is fully booted, tap Settings > Developer Options and disable USB Debugging, clicking “OK” to any messages that may appear.

Go to Settings > Storage & USB and tap your SD card. Tap the three dots in the upper-right corner and choose “Migrate data”.

If you have an "extra" sd card listing under device storage part of the screen, just click on it, you will get the option to "forget" it and it will clear. This listing will not have any info listed such as size, used nor free.....

I have a 128gb card that leaves 119gb free after formatting and the device storage (upper) part of my screen under storage & usb has

DEVICE STORAGE

12.95GB

Total used of 39.47 GB

Internal Storage

12.54 GB used of 16.00 GB

------------------------------------------------

SD card

416 MB used of 23.47 GB

PORTABLE STORAGE

SD card

5.00 MB used of 95.43 GB

Hope this has helped straighten out any problems people have had with not getting the storage of their cards converted to internal even after going through the sm commands

Steps I saw left out...........

unplugging USB after last commands

some did not even mention rebooting

disabling USB debugging

clicking USB card listing under device storage and choosing "migrate data" from 3 dot menu

and getting rid of the greyed out (phantom) USB card listings...........

If this helps you, please do not forget to click the thanks button!

Have a nice day!!!!!!!!!!

[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] OldAzzNoob:
Is there a fix?

Also... When I had bootloader unlocked and TWRP and SuperSU flashed (I'm back on stock now), I noticed I could no longer do Adoptable Storage. It just says the SD card is corrupted, and no matter how many times I try to format the card (through stock settings), it won't format.

One other thing... While rooted, my phone was having a hard time registering on Data and Wi-Fi networks.

Thanks for the tutorial, worked like a charm! Does backup and restore work in TWRP or has anyone tried it yet?
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] NMR2D2156:
I just tried it for the first time today. I created a backup and restored it after making changes to the system. The restore brought my system back just like I had it from the backup. So in my experience, yes it works.
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] StellarNova:
I've had no problems rebooting into recovery and restoring backups.

Apps tested for recovery reboot (only):

Reboot - ROM Manager - TWRP Manager - Flashify

Working command:

adb reboot recovery

App tested for automated backup:

ROM Manager

I had to run terminal commands to get su to detect root. Some apps were fine with su, others weren't detecting root. After the terminal fix for su, I was able to recovery reboot through several apps and adb.

Also a huge thanks for the root walk through from OP and the others!

ROM manager did give a few warnings on create backup as it was automated, though the restore worked fine. Everything else was manual and only tested to reboot into recovery after the screen lock unfroze the touchscreen. Surprisingly "adb reboot recovery" actually worked from the PC terminal/prompt. (Toss in su/sudo/root/etc... for Linux distro variants.)

Though that fix and the process of testing is a long post and unless someone needs that info, I'll refrain from starting a reply with a wall of text.

I did not fully test all apps and their respective flashing/recovery features as I don't have a custom ROM zip (Obviously, at this time as root is new to the 2 Plus.) and until LG can provide a recovery kdz, I'm refraining from flashing other zips via automated apps and sticking to TWRP. (SuperSU, xposed, etc...) - Preferring to err on the side of caution as the 2 Plus is more temperamental than the original Stylo in regards to flashing.

Need help

Could someone please give me a hand with an unbrick? I have an MS550 and I unlocked and rooted it just fine. When I went to flash xposed I got a bootloop and Ive tried everything I could think of. Right now the phone boots itself into Fastboot if power is receieved. I can enter Download mode and have tried to flash the stock ROM using the old LG Flash tool and the new LGUP but neither will work and I believe I am missing a key step. The Flash tool gets to the normal error screen and I move it aside and wait but nothing ever happens. The LGUP program gets to 9% and errors out saying I have unsecure image. Really appreciate any help.
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] StellarNova:
Ususal disclamer

: I cannot guarantee what works for me will work for anyone else. Attempt the following AT YOUR OWN RISK! Device bricking might ensue!

Unpack the .kdz to a .dz file and try again.

I had to unpack it, as stated above, to get LGUP to permit the update past the insecure image. Choose refurbish after the usual steps to load a kdz into the path using LGUP.

It'll wipe the device. Then after that is done, you can go through the steps to root again or alternatively not root and re-lock the bootloader which will also wipe the device.

[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] StellarNova:
That depends upon how you are rooting the phone. Are you flashing Chainfire's SuperSU zip?

Is it the most recent version?

I had an issue where at first root was only partially working for apps. Where the SuperSU app was there and the binary was up to date, but I had to run a few commands via terminal to get full root. Everything worked fine after that.

I had no issues with Play Services. Start there and we can troubleshoot from that point on. Yours sounds like a different problem.

Had you done a recovery?

I had to recover same way after HD Voice codecs didn't play nicely with Viper4Android's sound driver. Same method. .kdz to .dz extraction and LGUP.

Not having any problems on using 10 for LG flashing tools or adb.

Were you making sure to be running as administrator?

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding you. Apologies if so.

Is your device recognized by ADB? You don't need root to enter fastboot via "adb reboot bootloader" command, you just need to be authorized at ADB. - No ADB is a different issue entirely.

Now if you're rooted and not able to adb reboot recovery, that is more like the issue I ran into. That I had to dive into the shell/terminal and work with a few commands. I'm not posting what I did because I don't feel like it is a good fix-all suggestion for any problem.
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] StellarNova:
Not home at the ADB fiesta isn't a good thing. - Do the usual troubleshooting steps. No hub. Swap cables, ports, etc...

Re-check the phone. If you just restored, go in and reactivate developer options. (I'm assuming you've done this. But if not, it never hurts to try. I know I kept trying to hit ADB after a reset and forgot to re-enable USB Debugging before. Several phones. - It happens when you're used to just having USB debugging on.)

If none of that works there is LGUP.

Could try restoring via download mode (Power off, unplugged USB. - Hold up, plug in USB.) using the extracted .dz file.

Need some help!

First I like to thanks the devs for this. Thank you.

Moving on... So I've been trying to get my phone rooted for a bit while now... And it has been a failure. Absolutely everything I tried has been a failure.

I installed ADB drivers maybe 1,2 or 3 or ten times already.. I tried flashing kdz, OEM and USB debug are enabled and finally I'm using minimal ADB and flashboot terminal to flash.

I searched everywhere and learned a bit of ADB commands and what not but I'm still unable to unlock my ms550 bootloader.

While the phone is on the home screen ADB detects the phone but when I go to fastboot mode ADB doesn't detect it and yes I tried unlocking the bootloader but in the terminal it just says that it's waiting for devices and let it seat for few minutes just in case but nothing happens.

I installed drivers, bridge and everything I know best of my knowledge and I'm using windows by the way. Please! I would love some help. Thanks in advance.
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] messi2050:

Yes you only need a pc to flash the recovery , root and xposed can be done directly from the recovery no need for pc

[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] !Led*Eyes!:

i do get into twrp but it only wipes data, i cant load recovery normally as setting dpi softbricks phone
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] !Led*Eyes!:
If when you try to boot Into recovery it quickly says open recovery script then resets your phone then do the following:

Open a command prompt, type "fastboot flash recovery <path_to_recovery.Img> and after the flash pull battery, put it back in and boot into recovery using the hardware buttons. When it fails and resets your phone, set up your phone and when you're finally booted into your system, enable USB debugging then open a command prompt and type "adb reboot recovery" instead of the hardware buttons. Assuming that is your issue anyway. If that's not your issue then I need to know more details about what you did originally and a better description of your current issue

Welp, guess I'll be the first person to screw up and need some help hahaha

I succesfully rooted, now the problem is I changed the dpi and changed the fm radio thing to true in build prop....apparently one of those two things is causing a boot loop. Me being the super smart individual that I am did NOT make a back up of anything before i started messing with stuff. Can anyone upload an unaltered build prop? and can I put that where it needs to go via twrp?

EDIT: now i cant boot into twrp....vol dwn and power button combo makes me do another factory reset, i choose yes, then it boots into twrp resets and reboots the phone.

EDIT2: ok, so after the factory reset prompt, selecting yes 2x, I tried to let it boot up. It makes it to the welcome screen to select lang and stuff. Touch next, says no sim(there is a sim), goes to screen to turn wifi on, then reboots and boot loops on metro screen.

EDIT3: if i dont choose to turn on wifi at the welcome screen it makes it to the google account log in, and the checking for updates screen. it sits at that screen for a min or so and then reboots and loops @ the metro screen.

I know all this is kinda all over the place, but just trying to update as I go haha
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Djoec1983:
My suggestion unfortunately would be to flash the kdz and start over fresh. Formatting your data and flashing the verity zip. If anyone else has a different suggestion feel free. Just my 2 cents.

[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Djoec1983:
My advice to anyone who it's taking more than 15 or 20 minutes to root your device with this method is to stop and reconsider. You obviously aren't familiar with Android and are not familiar with adb and fastboot. Do some research and reading before messing with your device because you should know exactly what to do in case something goes wrong. XDA has a wealth of knowledge for you to learn all about Android and adb and fastboot. I know the prospect of root is very tempting but if something goes wrong your going to be in a world of hurt.
