You can flash any single partion you want but for some reason it won't boot. I have been through this all fast boot and adb push pull sideload flashall commands you can think of. I think the problem lies in the recovery to system boot possibly the encription. Try and fastboot erase userdata I think that's what gives you problems.
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] thejegjeg:
I did that fastboot command, and it did nothing to help the problem.

I had to use "abd reboot recovery" to get mine to go to recovery . it was the only way I could get there and flash root .

I believeThat's all you need the ones that come with android tools.
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] doonoo:
If you're on Linux you shouldn't need the LG drivers. The commands work perfectly fine on my phone.
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] NMR2D2156:
Just want to say thanks to everyone involved here. My friend and I rooted his stylo 2 plus with the guide and all is working great ;)
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Twowshores:
I would like to say a huge thank you to all the people that put this together into one thread. I followed directions and it worked perfectly. If i would have read the directions and gotten everything together before starting I would have had the boot loader unlocked and been rooted in under 30 minutes. You people are amazing as always. Thank you again
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] hippiesky:
I do know it took me several tries with the adb command to get it to go to recovery . I wish I knew more about this stuff so I can help. Im being so careful with what I do so I don't lose any of this lol.
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] hippiesky:
Did you make sure that oem and adb were on? More then likely you have twrp if you flashed it and it said it worked it should be there. Something similar was happening to me. I can't remember how many times but with making sure everything thing was on and set up Right it took like an hour and phone went to factory a few times so that was time consuming
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] messi2050:
Lol man you are typing it wrongly it's reboot not boot , it should work from the first time but some members have problems with the device drivers on their pc's like you , it's why it's not working....

I will be doing mine in a free hours let us know how it went. If I'm correct we use the Twrp provided in the OP and not from Twrp website. For some reason I can't find the no verity 2.1 zip only the 3.1 zip does that make a difference.

I did a friend's root using no verity 3.2 zip from the folder you were talking about. I never found the 2.1 except when I did a generic Google search and Samsung came up in reference to the 2.1 version. We had no trouble using the 3.2 but I would like to know where to find the 2.1 if it indeed could have bad effect. I assume the 2.1 was replaced with the newer version?

[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Rmontoya83:
Your system image is there unless you typed the command to delete it read the main thread on instructions so you don't mess up your phone
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Rmontoya83:
Then your driver are not there or your boootliader is locked
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] DMedina559:
I had a somewhat similar problem too, after you flash twrp do you boot into the system or straight to recovery? Right after you flash don't let the system boot, boot straight to recovery.
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] NMR2D2156:
I've got a question about the boot loader unlock message at the beginning of phone boot with the triangle.

Is the warning with the triangle a screen image file that can be replaced with a blank jpeg image (similar to changing boot logos) or something else to remove it, or is it more complicated to remove the warning message or impossible?
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] DMedina559:
Yes its supposed to say that. Click yes twice and twrp should boot
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Rmontoya83:
Finally we have a person who can read lol
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] DMedina559:
Do it right after you flash twrp from fastboot. If it boots into the system while trying to go to recovery, go back to fastboot and flash twrp again
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] hippiesky:
Did you try "adb reboot recovery" seems like you have twrp just can't boot it. Happened to me used that command and got recovery , flashed root then downloaded that app cause that's the only way to reboot to recovery without a computer

[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] NMR2D2156:
Can someone help? My phone appears to be rooted after this procedure, however the root of the drive appears to be unchangeable. Tools like es file explorer pro do not recognize the system as rooted and will not allow root access to be turned on. Other tools such as root explorer seem to allow an interactive shell but changes to this system root directory do not stick on a reboot or are not even allowed like the system is not rooted... Any ideas?
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] lmcdaniel215:
Did you install a su app?
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] NMR2D2156:
Yes, i have supersu installed. It asks to grant permission and i grant it the permission. For example, if i go into the / root directory and grant access i can put a boges test folder with nothing in it in the directory. I can close the file manager, go back in and the test folder i created is still in the root... However , when i reboot the phone the folder is gone. Almost like the root directory is a virtual (copy) and not actually doing anything to the real system. Asides the fact es explorer pro performs a root test and says its not rooted also. Another thing I noticed is the root seems to be getting mounted read only by default unless I unmount and mount as read/write..
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] OldAzzNoob:
Same thing happened to me.
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] NMR2D2156:
Did you ever resolve the issue? Root checker pro says system is rooted with every reboot, but I am unable to make changes to root directory anyway...
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] hippiesky:
Can I ask what are you doing in the root directory? Only reason I ask is I was trying to delete some apps , the Google ones, and it wouldn't let me but all the other root stuff works fine
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] NMR2D2156:
I tried installing es file explorer pro and turning on root setting (which works perfect on my rooted lg Leon) but found out it did not recognise my phone as rooted. Basically I got in root directory to find out why my phone did not show as rooted in es explorer. The write tests i did work perfectly fine on my rooted lg leon, but not this phone... I may need to moddify the system in the future which is why i wanted root... Ie: build prop file or boot logos

[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] NMR2D2156:
Oh... Sorry. Sounds like me. Similar problem now. Hopefully I can get mine to boot up again after I go back in with adb. Thanks all for help.
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] OldAzzNoob:
All you need is access to fastboot (the bootloader) and I got you covered.
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] NMR2D2156:
Yea... I hosed it up good... permissions are screwed on my build.prop file so I can not boot phone - just black screen flashing. I am unable to get to recovery thru fast boot. The fast boot commands work as they should to control phone, so the device is recognized, but I have no command support for adb. I was gonna pull the build.prop file and fix the read/write permissions, but with no adb I cannot do that. What are my options?
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] OldAzzNoob:
Go back into fastboot:

Fastboot -w erase system

Fastboot oem lock

Then pull out the battery to shut phone off. Put it into download mode by pressing and holding the volume up button while plugging in the USB cable. On your PC, run LG Bridge. Select the Software Update page. On the lower right there's another button that says Update Error Recovery. Click it. LG Bridge should recognize the device even with a corrupted filesystem and jacked up recovery.

Get LG Bridge here: http://www.lg.com/us/support/product-help/CT10000026-1438110404543-preinstall-apps

[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] NMR2D2156:
Ok. Lg bridge update error recovery attempts to check for error , but after a min it comes back with error pop up which says to connect your device to the USB port... like it doesn't recognize the phone... FYI I also have a message on my phone that says firmware update and not to unplug USB... it stays at 0 %. Another piece of info that may be relevant is during the fastboot command you gave me "fastboot -w erase system" I get a message during the process at end that says cannot erase user data in unlock state and then it quits. I did oem lock like you said to after ok.
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] NMR2D2156:
Can I just use the kdz file from this link:

http://lg-firmwares.com/lg-ms550-firmwares/

And LGUP to to restore phone to a factory state? This is new to me and I have not done it before.
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Rmontoya83:
Yes see the unbrick section for lg style 2 plus it has the directions to fix it.
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] OldAzzNoob:
You need the dll file for the ms550 LGUP, which I havn't been able to find anywhere.

Give me a minute to think (I just woke up) and I'll remember how I got LG Bridge to see the phone...

---------- Post added at 04:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:01 PM ----------

Ok try this:

Fastboot oem lock

Fastboot reboot-bootloader

Fastboot oem unlock

Fastboot -w erase system

Fastboot oem lock

Fastboot reboot-bootloader

Then pull the battery and put it in download mode. I'm pretty sure oem locking the bootloader allows LG Bridge to recognize the phone.

The screen you're seeing that says firmware update is download mode. And be patient, LG Bridge doing it's thing might take 30 minutes or more.
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] NMR2D2156:
OK. I went ahead and used the lgup to factory restore my phone. I had gotten the kdz last night. After some trial and error I got my phone fully restored to new state. Thanks so much for your help :) !
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] OldAzzNoob:
Would you please give me a link where I can find the .dll file?

Or explain the steps you used and provide links to where you got everything.
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] NMR2D2156:
Let me see if I can piece together where I got stuff... I did a lot of googling trying different stuff. I can upload the tools if all else fails for you to a file storage. I extracted dz file from kdz image and uploaded to phone using the lgup utility. The hard part for me was that the lgup tool would not allow adding the dz file as the image (it wants only tot files) .. It turns out the trick is to click the upgrade option instead of refurbish and select the dz image file, once it's selected you click back on refurbish button and it keeps the path to the dz file allowing you to use it and flash the phone. I will get back with you once I find some links. I tried using the straight kdz file and it would NOT flash it to phone... It gave some error that it was not original / fake or something like that.
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] coolbeans2016:

Do you have to have a kdz file from LG, or will this make a backup of whats on phone to use?

I extracted the .dz image from kdz file using the extractor "WindowsLGFirmwareExtract-1.2.5.0-Release.zip" located in this xda post:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2600575

I got LGUP tool from this article:

http://www.droidopinions.com/download-lgup-tool/

As you stated there is a problem with lgup recognizing the phone model. This is fixed by copying the "common" folder into the path: C:\Program Files (x86)\LG Electronics\LGUP\model

This file is located in common.zip found on this Article: http://www.androidsage.com/2015/12/...n-lg-devices-marshmallow-on-lg-g4-and-sprint/

I am sorry for the mixed up links but I want to give credit to those who did the work and not take their file download links and get credit for it.

I hope this info helps some.
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] coolbeans2016:
don't know if this applies here

I'm not sure if this applies here...............

with system-less root, the files es file explorer places in su/bin should be in system/xbin

use root explorer, have two directories open, both on "root"

have one to the su/bin, es file explorer will have places 7 files in there.......

other root directory to system/xbin.......

you have to have root, make sure you click on r/w, get permission then copy (cut) the 7 files in su/bin

put them in system/xbin....

reboot and enjoy

you should be able to turn the "root" radio button on in es file explorer and be granted permission.

You don't need the dll file that's if you're entering refurbish mode if you just extract the kdz to a KZ use flash tool to flash it you should be good to go after that

---------- Post added at 01:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:05 AM ----------

It should be stored in one of your root folders in OTA file

---------- Post added at 01:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:06 AM ----------

I don't select the refurbish button select the one next to it on the right and it'll allow you to use the KZ

My understanding from what I read is in lgup, upgrade is for installing software updates... Going from lollipop to marshmello, not a full re install. I read refurbish option was to do a complete reinstall. I guess from what you are saying it really doesn't matter because I used the refurbish and the install was perfect on my phone.
