Is there any other way to get back into twrp after installing it, adb reboot recovery dosent work
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MunkyButt:
not that i've been able to figure out. i'm not even gettting the computer to recognize the phone in fastboot mode. and i dont think i can use adb without the phone booting into the os far/long enough to get into settings to allow usb debugging
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] lmcdaniel215:
If you have root install a restart app
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] !Led*Eyes!:
Yup
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] !Led*Eyes!:
You can try it certainly. If that does not work then you should just download free stock firmware and start over fresh

Your fastboot drivers are not installed properly
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MunkyButt:
They were working fine before the boot loop fiasco. Also, Linux doesn't require any phone specific drivers to be installed.

Ive put windows on an old machine a d have tried flashing the stock kdz thru lg bridge but it won't update. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] !Led*Eyes!:
Ah i Didn't catch you were using Linux. Have you looked into other tools besides using the LG bridge.
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MunkyButt:
I tried lg flash tool but it's not working either
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] hippiesky:
Ok so I installed abd and fastboot and was able to unlock my boot loader. I rebooted it factory reset so I reenabled debugging and set usb to file transfer. Reboot my phone back to fastboot installed the twrp file , watched it install, took the battery out tried booting into recovery hit yes and yes, finger on vol down until I had to select . the little android guy popped up and phone rebooted to factory. Went to try to reflash recovery now it can't find recovery . did I miss something lol
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] messi2050:
Did you enabled the oem unlock
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] hippiesky:
Yes I did. It was actually enabled when I went into developer options
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] messi2050:
If you have hangouts , teamviewer contact me and i will try to help.
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] hippiesky:
Not by the computer now won't be able to try anything until tomorrow night . just seems weird because it installed according to the computer . do you think it was installed? Any idea what I did wrong?
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] messi2050:
You are wrongly point to the recovery.img file
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] hippiesky:

Not sure why but the file is now set to private. Perhaps contact messi2050 and ask him to share. I think the link is his.
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] hippiesky:
Hey messi seems the twrp zip is set to private and some can't download it. And I don't have a copy of it so I can't post it
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] h00vey:

why are the files hidden? i was really excited for rooting my phone but got stuck because the twrp files being hidden. ive requested access on mediafire, not sure how long itll take for a response.

[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] JazzMartian:
I'm having the same issue as the above poster. I can't get into the recovery to fix anything. My phone's essentially in a bootloop. I can access the bootloader, but I don't know of any fastboot command that boots into recovery mode (such as the adb command "adb reboot recovery". I cant get to a point to use adm commands. I have a TWRP backup on my memory card, and would be fine if I could just access the recovery menu. Help would be greatly appreciated.

Can you unlock the boot loader?
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] JazzMartian:
Thanks for the suggestion. I tried that. No dice. I'm thinking why that might not be working is that I moved files between the system/app and data/app folders. I don't know thought. I've tried restoring it to factory settings with all of these various apps: LGUP, LG Bridge, LG Mobile Support Tool, LG Flash Tool 2014. Eveyone seems to have an excuse to not do it.

It would be great if I had all the partition files: recovery, boot, userdata, system, etc.. instead of these proprietary LG KDZ files. That's what I'm used to doing, to restore my Nvidia Shield. This is day three of trying to solve this issue. It's wearing me down. I just got this phone!

Knowing all that, would it be a waste of time for me to check your thread out? If so would you please link me up with it.

[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Djoec1983:
By the way this is not my eBay it's the developers, I just happened to run across it on eBay and figured I'd let the community know.
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] JazzMartian:
Messed up. Selling a hack of open source software.
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Djoec1983:
I'm not selling anything so I think you better get your facts straight. I saw this posted on eBay and I'm letting the community know. Do with it what you will. But don't accuse me of selling anything because that's a lie.
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] JazzMartian:
I wasn't referring to you.

Btw, I'd post the TWRP link back up, but the dev asked me to take it down. smh

*Edit: I understand. I've bought modified software with open source origins in the past. And people have to support themselves and sometimes others as well.
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Rmontoya83:
The code is open sourced correct and should not be sold. I agree... However, time and effort along with trail and error go into getting it to work. A lot of people have downloaded the work of this dev. Some have Donated a lot of money to bring this to this community (including myself) please show respect for the work of all developers and the contributors that made this possible by a simple (Click on the Like Button) a Dollar donation to buy a coffee.

The only reason there is no Rom posted for this device in this forum is for that exact reason...
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] JazzMartian:
I see both sides of it, and edited my last post to reflect my stance after further thought. I've shared a lot. If you are/were part of the Sony modding and/or emulation scenes, you might know who I am. I have shared a few modification projects (along the lines of something like this) and received very few "thanks", reputation points, or expressions of gratitude in general. Yet my file host/s show (for some uploads) 1000s of downloads. This doesn't add up. It causes me to wanna stop sharing my works as well. I don't recall really ever downloading something somebody shared, and not thanked them. The exceptions, which happen from time-to-time, are when I don't have access to my account, or sites where I don't care to create an acct., and am therefore not able to to thank a dev.

However, it tends to not sit over well when people who have thanked somebody get lumped in with leechers, and punished as well. It also doesn't sit over well when you initially offer something and then rip it away. I have done that once before though.

I've felt this way since I transitioned from the Sony scene to this one: This scene seems to have way more fickle devs, and disrespectful users than I ever recall seeing in the Sony scene. I am both an end user and content creator/dev, so I see both sides of the coin.

I see too, users with brass balls to start talkin' $#!7, but not having steel balls to say "I'm sorry, I was wrong".

I'm just sayin', I see both sides of the fence. I couldn't call myself an objective human being if I didn't. And I consider myself objective.
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Djoec1983:
I know first hand how hard messi worked on this project, he did all the work but I helped him debug it because he didn't own the device. I can say for certain that his intention was never to make money off this project he did it for the good of the community, but I can totally understand his current position because I have seen the download stats and you wouldn't believe how many people have used his work without so much as a thanks. Also people being rude or disrespectful, it's really unbelievable how entitled some people act. I'm not throwing out accusations at anyone I'm just saying in general. Your getting free work from a dev who spent days and days working on a project for a device that he doesn't even own, taking time out of his own life to help and you can't even hit the thanks. I helped him out and still threw him $25 because I know how hard he worked and appreciate all he's done for the community. It was a small price to pay for root. I tried to root this device myself and failed so no one knows better than me what it took to get here. Therefore I have nothing but good things to say about messi, he's a good person and deserves the respect of this community.
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] JazzMartian:
I had to double-check to make sure I thanked messi. Sometimes I forget. I thanked him. But I looked over at how many thanks he got!! WOW! Only 25!! He's the only dev I know of currently who has offered to share such a work for this device. I apologize. You're absolutely right about this entitlement $#!7. Unbelievable. Technology and knowledge increase, and morality and etiquette decrease over time. Humanity has a problem (including myself). But I already knew this. I hardly share my projects anymore because of leechers. I just had a knee-jerk reaction to messi pulling the plug, so again I apologize to him.

Been around a week since i posted on this thread, oh how quickly things escalate.

Humans are so interesting, how we measure our worth on likes, download counts, etc.

2cents

Moving on. After softbrick, i wiped my system in adb, and used LG bridge to recover factory image, and recovery.

Used steps in first post to install TWRP, and root the phone again. However, everything worked flawless, except root failed to flash.

(possibly due to LG updated firmware? I do not know) any ideas would be nice

[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Djoec1983:
I think I'm well within my right to debate since I helped messi with this project doing all the testing and debugging of the recovery, and even though messi did most of the work, I personally know how many hours myself and messi and led eyes spent working on this project. My whole point is that it's very easy to just take and forget were it came from, but it doesn't take all that much effort to simply hit the thanks and show some appreciation to messi for all the hard work he put in. I don't know how many times I have to repeat myself, he got hundreds of downloads and 25 thanks, as well as harassment and complaining from users. How can you not understand his stance in that he doesn't want to help out a bunch of people who don't appreciate his work. I don't speak for the whole community as there were a few who did, I am speaking about the vast majority.

I don't think trying kingroot will brick your phone . I've tried them all and non of them bricked my phone.

As per discussion in this thread I kindly donated to achieve root and I thanked the developer. But not sure why its a big deal , I threw $50 bucks down hoping it would get the ball rolling with development but it didn't . now probably never will since its seems we moved backwards. I appreciate all that was done . but quite honestly I feel a little duped and if I knew it would have come to this I might have thought differently about donating . sorry for the rant

Maybe its me but I've spent lots of time modding and theming apps and sharing and never received a dime and could careless about thanks

I have health issues, have had surgery recently, and have not been able to maintain stamina on my projects like I had hoped. I keep thinking I'm back up to full speed, then blam! I'm worn out far too quickly. Only one month out, I forget how long these things can take to heal.

Also, I am rather experienced and competent, especially with TWRP, whose code I have a long history with. The project isn't done yet, I'm recovering slower than I would like, but I'll likely have all the source repo up before you do. :P

To *sell* TWRP as if it was your creation is a crappy thing to do, no matter what; and to not provide repos for any Linux kernel-based releases, or for TWRP-based releases, screws everyone. The Linux kernel and TWRP are available for all *thanks* to the magic of open source.

It is a crap on the face of the entire XDA community to sell TWRP on Ebay, it is reprehensible.

Just want to say thanks for all the work put in to getting us TWRP and root. I myself greatly appreciate it. And on the topic of a ROM if money is going to be a motivation to get the ball rolling I'd be more than happy to throw some dollars, the same for any other development for this device.
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Shadowsoul Asriel:
Your missing the point... im not saything that. What im saying is that you cant force people to pay for something that is free some place else.

[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Rmontoya83:
I understand what your saying. But making it compatible to run on your device was the work it took.

Myself and many others paid a large bounty to get this work done. We put it here for everyone the dev felt people were ungrateful and removed it. I can honestly see why.

If it were to upset anyone it would be the contributors whom brought that here for you all.

[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] messi2050:
The source is free (open source) correct! But if it that simple and easy why you can't work on it yourself or any other one from the community then you can release it to publically for free , [making it compatible to run on your device is the work it took] very correct again.

many people are understanding open source definition the wrong way, since you are the one who create the device tree, patch the kernel , extract the blobs...etc that work is yours and you are free to share it or no [btw doing this requires continuous work for days-months-weeks depending on many variables] if it was for the people i will get nothing as i don't have a stylo 2 plus the only reason i started this work was the bounty offered by Rmontoya83 and some other members here, think in it , if you don't have the device why would you waste countless hours working on it for free ;) i had 12000 download for this recovery before i removed the links, look to the number of those who pressed the thanks button at this thread only 34! Lol also i got 0 donations out of the bounty thread.
