But that's apples to oranges... He spent his time to develop something. And very few gave thanks. I purchased it... And when he put it back out he messaged me saying he understands if I wanted a refund. I told him to keep it. That's the type of person he is. He's not greedy. He has respect and most importantly self respect. You wouldn't let someone be ungrateful to you, would you? Probably not.

Yeah i get it and i admit you got valid points. We both do, i guess it just depends on the person. I didn't mean to start anything and im sorry about doing so.

Hi everyone, well I find it sad ? that it has come to this. A few years ago I found XDA while looking to root my phone .I was a root virgin at that time and I was lucky to land here. What truly amazed me was when I messed up my phone since I had no idea what I was doing, how many members quickly answered my call for help. Hell you don't get that kind of service for stuff you pay for let alone from strangers for free. That earned my respect for everyone here .since then this is my only stop for everything root .so when I got my new stylo 2 I ran here to get it rooted at that time you were all working on it day and night and I could hardly wait .well got busy at work and could not check in as often as I wanted to. But a friend told me you guys had did the impossible. I was stoked, so unlocked bootloader.. Done got my ad card back.. Done now the best part root and none of the links worked .?..so I asked around and not a lot of clear answers can anyone please tell me what is going on .I know you guys do this for free and I have a lot of respect for that .but whats up. Thank you all for your time
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] messi2050:
i removed the link for some time but it's working fine atm so you can root ur device :)
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] tkydone:
thank you . I just want you to know . I am very thankful for all the effort you and your fellow members put into doing this so those all of us can enjoy our phones even more. and I don't think that tossing in a few bucks in the kitty is all that unfair . after we all get paid for our time every day we go to work . thanks again and keep up the great work . I am off to see if I can brick my phone as I am a noob so stay close I might need some help or be happy as hell with a rooted phone will let you know

if there are difficulties in flashing...

One thing I tried which succeeded for me was to first wipe the recovery partition via fastboot:

fastboot erase recovery

THEN reflash the recovery.img file and follow the steps in the OP.

If you can't locate all the files I can mirror them from dropbox or google drive just send me a pm
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Infect_Ed:
Were you successfull? ?
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] rfoster2009:
I believe the OP who compiled the TWRP for our devices does not wish for the file to be mirrored. I think everything is there except for the phh SU if you wish to go systemless for root (a much better method in my opinion) or [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] 's systemless SuperSU.

I can help if anyone needs it with tracking down the other files.

Hi

My K550 is locked to T mobile

if i do all this, will it unlock my Stylo 2 plus ? or just rooted?

Thanks

Tom
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Infect_Ed:
This will not gsm unlock your phone. These steps will unlock bootloader and allow custom recovery and root. Gsm unlock is totally different. That allows you to use your cell with a different carrier.

[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] networkdood:
I actually figured out that you want the Android Bootloader Interface driver as it will be listed under Android Device in the Device manager. Before, my device was listed only under Portable Devices. So, I should be all set now.
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] networkdood:
ok, so I flash the recovery img file that is on my desktop in this location and with this command:

fastboot flash recovery C:/Users/netwo/Desktop/recovery.img

Says it went through just fine.

I pull the USB out and battery. Put battery back in and hold volume down and power. Let go of power just for a split millisecond at the LG logo screen, I get to the white screen asking me the two questions - I answer yes to both of them and continue holding down the volume button. I am then taken to a screen showing a green Android with some sort of 3D shape spinning in place, and then I am put back to the prior screen and the device boots through doing a factory reset.

Any suggestions as to what went wrong and how to overcome this?

Thanks!

Thank you.
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] NMR2D2156:
Referring back to networkdoods post..

Is it really correct to hold the volume button down after the menu comes up and he answers yes. I thought once the menu comes up you let go of the buttons, not that I know this has an effect on anything.. It's been a while since I did the procedure..
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Infect_Ed:
Its not necessary to hold it down once in the menu.

---------- Post added at 02:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:24 PM ----------

You should see twrp. You won't be able to use digitizer once in the menu until screen times out...on its own. After that touch works.
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] networkdood:
Thanks for the responses everyone. I will go through the steps, again.

---------- Post added at 07:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:48 AM ----------

Now, if after doing this procedure to get into TWRP I receive a screen with an Android figure and a spinning object on it, is that normal or a sign that I did not correctly flash the recovery image file? And, when we do flash the image file do we use / or \ when pointing to the file's location?

Thanks
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Infect_Ed:
You flashed it wrong. Do you see twrp at all? You prob have to add the file to and directory. Use / or \ . duplicate what your pc says C:/users/nuguy/desktop/recovery
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] networkdood:
Yup, I used the pathway you listed, except a different user name
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Infect_Ed:
Did you add it to directory? And did you type .img? If you typed in the path .img then your pc will read it as .img.img. Because its an img file. So don't. Lol.
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Rmontoya83:
Yes don't continue to hold it.
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] networkdood:
Oh wow, maybe it was that. This is what I typed for the path:

C:/Users/netwo/Desktop/recovery.img
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Rmontoya83:
Put the recovery.img in the same folder as you fastboot tools. And use command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ptico:
Hi I am new to this forum. My question is how to boot into recovery. I have done -fastboot flash reboot recovery recovery.img- and it took no time to finish and the phone factory reset itself. When ever you boot up it says "your device software can't be checked for corruption". My previous phone the original Stylo would say "bootloader unlocked". I have tried volume up, volume down while releasing the power button for a quick second and get a white screen asking if I want to wipe/factory reset - yes/no or another white screen displaying the IME with a barcode. Most of the time I get nothing it just boots displaying "your device software can't be checked for corruption". I am having trouble with trying to do it adb fastboot. When I right click/shift in fastboot folder I no device listed. Can't get into the SDK tools because of something about white spaces. Should I start over because other sites stated something about no-verity-opt-encription which I did not do. Any help would be greatly appreciated
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] NMR2D2156:
You can only boot into recovery twrp once thru the user buttons on the phone. If you do it again it will not work. You have to use a software method to gain access to twrp after first time. I think you will need to start over if you did it twice. All the steps must be followed exactly flashing no verity and su. Someone correct me if I am wrong. It is normal to get the device cannot be checked message at the beginning of boot because you unlocked the bootloader and it can't be gotten rid of that I know of with bootloader unlocked. Also note that after unlocking the bootloader you need to completely boot and set the phone up from scratch before going to next steps. (at least this is how it worked for me). I put all the required files on my sd card before hand in the phone and did not use adb for anything but flashing the recovery and unlocking the bootloader.
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Infect_Ed:
I am almost positive that you are correct. Use twrp manager from play store or through adb fastboot (fastboot reboot recovery) while phone is in fastboot mode (power off then hold vol down and plug into pc) hope this works for you.

You have to flash no verity and supersu once into twrp for the first time. If you did not then start over. Are you in boot loop with encryption error?

[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] gnino:
flashed twrp according to instructions after oem unlock cmds but after many hours the closest i come to any recovery is just a dead android with a red triangle in his chest cavity. i have scoured all over the forums and I cannot seem to find an answer that works for me. I am using ubuntu 16 as windows was being a PITA and the drivers I tried would not work correctly. fastboot flash recovery recovery.img completes but pulling the battery yada yada doesn't get me anywhere. fastboot boot recovery.img tells me FAILED (remote: unknown command) after it tries booting. I have also tried several twrp images to no avail. I am excited about obtaining root and possibly custom roms and I would have never got this far if not for everyone working on this project. I like this phone a lot and can't wait to mod it. Looking forward to a solution. Thanks in advance. Time for bed.

fastboot boot recovery.img

It's not working

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

worked.

After flashing, press and hold volume down and press power button until you see LG logo. Release the power button once and press again and you should see a prompt to factory reset the phone. Answer yes and yes and you should see TWRP. Wait until the screen timeout and start the process. Make sure you copied superSU to your

memory card

. Make sure you do factory reset within TWRP according to OP and flash superSU, and that's it.

So i got as far as the white screen where you select yes and yes. my phone did not boot into TWRP it restarted after showing andy on his back and was factory reset. when it starts now there is an orange triangle with the phrase "device software can't be checked for corruption".

i tried the whole thing again same thing happened minus the reset it just reboots to os after white screen. what do you think i am doing wrong and is it fixable? the return to stock guide worries me to try also. why can't you flash the kdz files like other lg phones? i really just want root this is the 1st phone to give me any trouble. any help would be great. i have the lgms550

I have followed instructions to the T. I cannot get TWRP to flash correctly. It acts as though it does, but I am always taken to the factory reset (white screen with yes no).
