Sorry for the massive typos. Press and hold the power and volume down buttons at the same time when you see the LG logo appear release the power button and press it again all while holding the volume down button when the on-screen prompts appear say yes to both by navigating with the volume up and down buttons and the power button after that TWRP should boot

Bad news guys.

So today well working on porting cm to our device. I managed to screw up my working directory and didn't sync all my work to the github fml so as of today I'm back to square one. :crying:

I repo synced in my home directory instead of my build directory now I'm missing all kind of stuff because I tried to clean it up. God I'm such a noob.

So I am working on reuploading all my stuff again. In the correct directories. I will upload my changes daily so I don't mess this up again.

Sorry fellas

I'm having this issue... 1st with recovery, then on setup... I can't upload recovery cuz it was a video but when I go to recovery it automatically opens a recovery script and resets my phone...
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Rmontoya83:
Did you read the instructions?

Install ADB and Fastboot Drivers

Unlock your bootloader

Place recovery.img to the platform tools folder along with where the adb and Fastboot file is.

Then type via Fastboot "Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"

Just because it says .Img doesn't mean its a picture or a video . if your not android inclined please don't attempt to flash your phone or you will brick it.
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Lmax579:
I did all that, actually my phone was rooted, I did a TWRP backup, then when I attempted to reboot, then it started doing that
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Rmontoya83:
Thats important info. Look at you app processes running and disable it. If you backed up and restored it that could cause it for some reason we have been having SD card corruption problems when transferring data back and forth. Save to your phones internal memory and transfer a copy to your pc at home in case.

this is extremely frustrating. I cannot boot into twrp / recovery... my phone is stuck on the t-mobile screen after foolishly removing apps using a debloater. I tried a reset via power + volume down, release power then press power again (yes/yes).... to no avail (did enter twrp, completed a script). the device is stuck on he t-mobile screen.

Need some help. I've got 2 phones. The first one went smooth. This second one is giving me problems booting into Recovery. I see it goes into TWRP and I see the script for formatting...it does its thing and then reboots on its own. I want to try and use ADB to boot to recovery...but adb is not detecting my device. (The reason I'm going into recovery is because the SU zip from the OP did not work...or it was just a bad download...so I downloaded straight from source.) The first phone has SU and Xposed working great. (btw...is there a list of tmobile apps I can delete safely?)

Also, how do you flash a KDZ file?

Greetings and Salutions to all...

First, thank you to all who put forth the effort to achieve root on this (and other ddevices).

Second, is it possible to have this phone rooted AND use android pay (and/or other similarly "secure" apps)? If so, how does one go about doing so?

Again, thank you all for ypur time and effort. Happy New Year!

So, I just got this phone yesterday...software version is 'b'...got the phone rooted and now there is an update...looking at the tmobile site it is an update to 'i' which was released back in september...seeing as this thread was started in Oct....I'm assuming that it's safe to take the update and reroot using the same method?

Also, if I take the update, does it relock the bootloader?

I guess you can't take the update. It just reboots into TWRP and does nothing...

Hope I can tell ya that tomorrow. As now that I am rooted I also can't play Pokemon' Go lol. So, was tomorrow was thinking of onrooting and trying Magisk with hopes of turning root on and off when i want to play Pokemon Go or use Android Pay. I am hoping that it will work out.
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] DMedina559:
You can flash the kdz back to stock then update, it will not relock the bootloader. After the update you can go back into fastboot and reflash recovery/root tho you will lose your data so have a backup ready. Hope this helps

---------- Post added at 08:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:54 PM ----------

If I remember correctly the API Android pay/pokemon go use (safteyNet I think it is) will not let those apps work with an unlocked bootloader even with magisk.. I could be wrong tho so feel free to try

Here's a link to an article about the safetyNet API and unlocked bootloaders by Android Police

This recovery was ported from the redmi 3s . Some functions don't work correctly. Like restoring your phone from a backup made via twrp. I thought it was data corruption but I think its because it is a port and not a source build. So it has its problems.

(Correction it was built from source not a port) confirmed by [MENTION=4929843]messi2050[/MENTION])

If your using lucky patcher it will trigger that install error. the fix is to disable the module your using on exposed app. Restart and install the app and re enable the exposed module.

had the phone for 2 weeks now. just wanted to give a shout out to OP that EVERYTHING went PERFECT the very first time around!! also, as previously mentioned:

IGNORE the triangle warning screen when booting! mine hung for like 1.5 minutes...which seems like FOREVER when waiting after performing a "possible brickable task"

my phone "denied" the decrypting, stating that the password was incorrect. i just pushed onward, n EVERYTHING was AOK!!

i had to use the page 39 download for the "no-verity-zip"...seems ok. np

i waited to buy this phone cuz without root...ALL phones are USELESS to me. outside the fact that im a LONG-TIME tester....i cannot live without being able to debloat and ...of course...viper4android :D

ive tested the steps in Op NUMEROUSLY...EVERYTIME without FAIL!!

That's something you'll probably have to pay for, via an unlock service. From a cursory Google search it looks like it will be a cheap fix, probably less than $10.
