Not sure what to say, I hoped that people who do this stuff are driven to for fun and learning, also the satisfaction their work is helping others. I guess for some getting credit means the most in their motivatation to do this stuff or even money. I can understand this, its just sad because it seems to be halting learning, and possible major progress on a Rom, from a group that may want to just share talent and knowledge.

Anyone else get an update notification ?
[LG Stylo 2 Plus Questions & Answers] messi2050:
This post is to make some points related to the cm development more clear :

-I never had the stylo 2 plus before 5 days ago and therfore i had 0 interest to work on any roms for it.

-I got a stylo 2 plus from my friend [MENTION=7987739]Nu Guy[/MENTION] as a gift, it's when i started to think about helping Rmontoya83 & Nu Guy with the development.

-i created a hangouts group to help [MENTION=7987739]Nu Guy[/MENTION] & [MENTION=5105245]Rmontoya83[/MENTION] getting a working cm port , i was helping through team viewer.

- Rmontoya83 told me that his pc is 24 hours online, I asked him to set a universal password so that i can log any time to his pc (as there are 8 hours time difference between our countries) he said that i can only access it when he is up.

I decided to stop helping him based on the following 2 reasons :

1) he lied at the beginning saying that he was able to compile a working port of cm for the stylo 2 plus and that his pc got wiped... etc false excuses and i found that he have 0 development knowledge after working with him.

2) i didn't like his behaviour for collecting donations for a port that never exist in reality.

It's why i didn't like continue helping with this as i didn't see him a trustworthy man and i was doing most of the work myself , that's the whole story.

Does anyone know how to get rid of the update notification ?
[LG Stylo 2 Plus Questions & Answers] NMR2D2156:
I had already done it but there is a code you type into the phone pad that gives a service menu to disable updates.

www.androidexplained.com/lg-g4-disable-ota-updates/

Scroll to hidden menu method in the link.

This is how I disabled them on my stylo 2 plus and I have not gotten any system update notifications.

can't install apps after lucky patcher mod play store

reinstalled a un moded store from LP then uninstalled LP still couldn't install. then i got stuck in a bootloop trying to no-verrity.zip. got into fastboot mode i reflashed twrp and factory reset. i can not install any apps still. and i think the wrong play store is installed still. when i check it's version it has a pop up that says" a new version will be downloaded and installed" but it does not do anything. please help.

Update to 7.0

I've gotten further in getting nougat onto my rooted Stylo 2 Plus on T-Mobile.

You can download the firmware here. IMPORTANT. You must download after changing specific parameters in your user agent download tool. Read the instructions.

All that gives you though is the .kids file. We need a flushable .zip...

I found this info on converting a .kdz into a .zip here

Can someone please do this? I don't have access to a PC atm.
[LG Stylo 2 Plus Questions & Answers] NMR2D2156:
HI, I don't have any experience with cleaning out play store and re installing unfortunately. If it was me I would scrap the progress and clean the phone back to factory using the LG Up tool and the kdz/dz factory phone image file. Then I would re try the root process. But that's me. You may want to see if someone else has a better idea though.

LOL... I just got a system update... So my initial way of disabling the updates did not work. So apparently the way I got rid of the system update was to install “disableservice" app on play store. Then I had to open the App, go to system tab, enter Google play services, then disable the service “SystemUpdateService"... See below:

I have been happy with them for years. 5 lines for$100 even. Service is better than my previous service with sprint where I live.
[LG Stylo 2 Plus Questions & Answers] kdayyy:
Try AT&T APN since it's under the same network. Check your radio codes in dialer. Not sure what the code is but those are a few dianogstics. Was looking to switch over but now.. I'm not too sure now. Cricket is a lot faster than MetroPCS, I've had both. Cricket stream live tv with no buffer compared to MetroPCS it's impossible.

Does anyone have "solid" H20 AT&T SIM APN Settings?

I've been through the default settings and 20+ other website (through google) looking for a 100% working APN setting. Right now, i'm at about %95 with the stock one but it won't "send" photos or animated gifs no matter how small and i'm aware of the 1MB limit.

Anyone have anything solid on the AT&T SIM setting for APN on H20? :confused:

Kilror5150 I am having same problem on cricket, they told me they did a network update and now my phone is not compatible. Not sure the truth of it but Google maps and few other apps doesn't work. Can receive pics but not send. If you find a fix I am interested.
[LG Stylo 2 Plus Questions & Answers] Kilroy5150:
Will do
[LG Stylo 2 Plus Questions & Answers] Kilroy5150:
I did some digging and contacted LG....According to them, they don't send the patches out but the company that sold you your phone does to tailor it to their needs. I bought mine from MetroPCS and those guys don't have an online chat or email so i would have to contact them via phone and that's almost useless considering most of those people don't speak english too well. It's not personal but it's hard to solve a problem when they misunderstand what you are saying and you have to constantly repeat yourself.

So, either someone is going to have to contact MetroPCS for a patch to their old patch or we are stuck and i don't have the patience to talk to some level 1 tech who reads their answers out of books and has no real tech knowledge. Someone would need to go DIRECTLY to an engineer to get anything done and if the person isn't "cool" they will spit out some BS about "you're not using our service so why should we care?" ect....

1. Find your desired carrier

2. Get carrier apn

3. Delete all other apns

4. Use Carrier apn with (default,mms,hipri,supl,fota) without parenthesis under the "APN Type" section.

If you have other apn's listed, it's possible that your phone is trying to use the wrong apn to do the picture messaging. That's your problem. Deleting the other apns will fix that problem. Also, check your messaging app settings to be sure that it is referencing the correct apn. Try uninstalling and reinstalling the messaging app and going through the setup. That should automatically find the correct apn. Make sure you've deleted the other incorrect ones first though.

Xposed Framework for Android 7.x

Well I just got done rooting my LG G STYLO 2 PLUS MS550 and the root works perfectly and I have no problem so far. I remember it worked with Android 6.0.1 without a problem. Now, I have been researching that so far there is no Xposed framework yet, but does anyone know when will it come out for Android N? Also, are there any new TWRP recovery's or updates for the LG STYLO 2 PLUS MS550 or K550?

There is the tedious method of downgrading back to 6.0 but I honestly don't feel like doing so. I'm new to rooting and flashing and I'm thankful I got this far. I won't test my luck with that haha.
[LG Stylo 2 Plus Questions & Answers] gena1221:
Wait, so will someone please clarify this for me? I have read this entire thread, and im still unsure. Can you root the lg stylo 2 plus (lg ms550) with the new android 7.0 installed? I believe the answer is yes.

Next question: if i root with 7.0 are there custom roms for the 7.0? Or should i downgrade back to 6.1 before i root?
[LG Stylo 2 Plus Questions & Answers] puzzimassa:
Yeah you can root on either 6 or 7 you just need to unlock your bootloader, flash twrp through adb again and finally a root zip. I use magisk and it's much better then SuperSU. It's the same process for both marshmallow and nougat. There are no custom roms other then debloated one. Someone is currently working on a lineage os for us but nothing new so far
[LG Stylo 2 Plus Questions & Answers] gena1221:
I tried rooting it the day before yesterday, and got the bootloader unlocked, flashed twrp through adb terminal, tried to boot into recovery, and it just factory reset over and over again every tine i tried toboot into reckvery using the keys on the phone instead of adb.

please give me direction on how to unlock sim for stylo 2 from cricket to tmobile.. i am single mom with little tech knowledge and no $$... cannot pay for or wait for company to do unlock.. very frustrated and lost.
[LG Stylo 2 Plus Questions & Answers] coolbeans2016:
dongle

Here is the website (one of quite a few) for attaining the code:

https://www.unlocklocks.com/

After which you can follow the directions here:

https://unlocklocks.com/blog/how-to-unlock-a-cricket-wireless-lg-stylo-2-by-unlock-code/

There is no "free" way of unlocking the SIM but these two pages above will differentiate for you between AT&T or T-Mobile and give you the correct code to get it unlocked and usually the service is at or under $20 and can be done in a few minutes.....

If your phone (LG Stylo 2) was a Metro PCS, T-Mobile and the + version.... LG Stylo 2 plus it is rootable with a custom recovery but as you stated, not "tech savvy" so that puts you way out in doing any of this without a pay service....

Hope this helps......

Nougat is definitely rootable on the stylo 2 plus ms550. I've done it multiple times. The stock Nougat kdz is available... I don't have a link on hand though... Do a Google search and it should come up... You will need lgup and the proper dll supplied in the kdz.

Hey all ! Been awhile since I've been on here . I keep getting the update is ready for my phone . I don't want to update unless I can root the update . now I've looked and seen it somewhere that you can . I just can't seem to find it anywhere.

1. Do I have to lock boot loader before I update?

2. And what root package do I use?

3. How about twrp?
[LG Stylo 2 Plus Questions & Answers] synchron50:
Hey I was able to successfully root Nougat on LG Style 2 Plus using the instructions in Messier's thread. I'm good to go however I can't boot to recovery and if I power up and hold volume up I get that same white screen that will wipe data if I choose yes. Does this mean I don't have access to TWRP which is what got me to root in the 1st place?
[LG Stylo 2 Plus Questions & Answers] Stonkers:
Choose yes and yes again. If you flashed twrp correctly it will boot you into twrp and wont wipe data.
[LG Stylo 2 Plus Questions & Answers] synchron50:
Thanks. Is there a tweak to just boot right into TWRP or do you have to manually get in yourself. It feels strange to be warned that your data will be wiped even though it won't. Also, will Cyanogenmod 14.1 or Lineage ever support the MS550?
[LG Stylo 2 Plus Questions & Answers] Stonkers:
You can download a recovery reboot app from the playstore. Theres also some xposed tweaks that allow for that.

https://xdaforums.com/android/development/rom-unofficial-lineageos-lg-stylo-2-plus-t3660245

Oh and booting twrp with hardware keys is like that on any lg phone. Scared me the first time too lol
[LG Stylo 2 Plus Questions & Answers] synchron50:
Thanks for the links! :laugh: On the Stylo 2 plus I have a hard time trying to do the Power/Volume Up combo anyway and I'm glad there's an easier way to get into TWRP. I was able to make a NAND backup to external SD.

Not sure if I want to go Lineage yet. It sounds like I have to go back to stock Nougat 7.0 MS550 first, then re-root/install TWRP/Flash Lineage-GAPPS. I'll also loose all the Stylus Apps. Question if at that point I restore just Data partition from TWRP NAND backup, will I get everything back again running under Lineage/Android 7.1??
