Could you link me to the unlocked firmware? Is it the Q730M10l? Or another one?

I would love to flash the unlock firmware and factory reset this thing to get some internet and functionality back. It would greatly help with my development :)

Thank you!
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] lowkeyst4tus:
The unlocked model according to Best Buy is LMQ730QM.. I can't find a download source yet but I'm still looking 🤞
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] haise.zero:
Weird, my Stylo 6 says its software version is Q730TM... Q730TM10P to be specific :p There shouldn't be any issues if they're all identical though, right? I can safely flash a Q730QM image on a Q730TM device?

And I'm looking as well - I'll edit this post if/when I find a source :)

Edit:

Found this, and this, but I'm unsure if Q730QM10c or Q730QM10d is the genuinely unlocked version, (the C variant is USA and the D variant is USL) and I'm also unsure what carrier, if any, NAO stands for (Q730QM10c_00_NAO_US_OP_0908.kdz for example)

I suppose I'll download the kdz and flash it to try it out. I can always revert back to stock if something goes wrong. I'll let you know how that goes :)

Hmm... I'm having some trouble. kdzdownloader downloads 0kb. I tried switching my useragent but it didn't work out, either. You having any better luck? Able to attach the file?

Woohoo! I got it.

Use this to install the XDM download manager, and then paste this link into a new job (just hit the + button). It just worked for me.

We officially have the .kdz for Q730QM10C! Time to flash it as soon as it's done downloading.
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] lowkeyst4tus:
Great job bro.. use dual mode lgup from XDA as it's designed for crossflashing and supposed to have more features than regular lgup.. let me know if you sim unlock with Q730QM firmware.. Q730TM is the Boost Mobile model.. I have that and the Q730AM in gradient blue from cricket wireless.. I want to crossflash both to Q730QM🍻🥳
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] haise.zero:
Alrighty, well I've been halted. Before I could get to flash, I installed the LG drivers because LGUP wasn't detecting my device (or maybe I was just being dumb).

After that... the phone stopped being recognized. In device manager it says Unknown USB (Device Descriptor Failed)

I've looked online, no solutions have helped. I've installed the Google USB drivers through Android Studio, I've uninstalled the device and reconnected the phone, tried reinstalling the LG drivers, I've factory reset the phone, tried a different USB port, a different cable, and nothing. After I factory reset, it showed up for a bit, but upon a reconnection it crapped itself again and refuses to show up.

Any ideas? I can't continue development if I can't communicate with the phone. 😬

Never mind, possibly? It works after uninstalling the device and replugging again... for the 20th time. But ADB still won't recognize the phone even as unauthorized; it just doesn't show up. Weird... I guess I'll tinker and get back to the post here in a while.

It's back to the error... so damn weird. I'll look into it. If and when I find a solution I'll let you know.

Development has been paused for the time being.
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] haise.zero:
Development unpaused! Sort of.

I believe the actual port on the phone might be screwed up. Two cables and a port cleaning later, I did get it to work and show up in ADB. Now it's just up to LGUP Dual Mode and a file transfer. Let's hope nothing goes wrong! I'm getting ready now.

Will update this post with results... excited and terrified right now!

Got the connection stable - used a different USB port.

LGUP Dual Mode isn't detecting my device. I assume I have to get it into download mode. Trying that...

In download mode, and LGUP certainly sees my device. However, it's giving me an error when I go to dump for safety;

Error: 0x2000, Please use latest DLL

LAF Protocol version is not match

DLL = 0x1000010

Device = 0x1000016

Any idea where to find a .dll for that? Will the updated dev patched LGUP work? Don't I need a different .dll if I'm gonna use LGUP Dual Mode?

Edit:

Well, I do have a .dll file supplied by kdztools, but it gave me an invalid error. I tried flashing with the default through Partition DL and it just loaded on LGUP without doing anything on the actual phone. Rebooting showed no difference.

How am I supposed to flash a file when LGUP won't work? :p

Edit 2:

I reached out to ChazzMatt, the developer(at least, I think) for LGUP dev patched version. I've run into several problems I'm hoping he can help me sort out. I'll keep this thread updated when I receive a message back. If I do.

Hopefully will!

Edit 3:

Well, I might not actually need his help - apparently LGUP 15 supports pie AND crossflashing. Let's see how this works... installing it and about to launch it here in a minute. I'll post again with an update.
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] mydemonguy6:
i have the Stylo 6 - Q730mm10p- been wanting to root this one but no luck if you have any idea would be up to give them a try on it
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] haise.zero:
I've been digging for the last several hours now trying to find a working version of LGUP that will work with our device.

I have the unlocked version of the .kdz, I have downloaded several versions of LGUP and tried about a dozen different .dll files for it and nothing so far has worked.

If you want, here's a few links, but it's 4:30am and I need to head to bed before I have a stroke trying to get this to work. Maybe tomorrow will bring me some fresh perspective, but as far as it looks I might have to do a patch by myself.

God, I hope I get paid for this. 😂

Links:

LGUP downloads

Thread about patching LGUP

Tool for extracting DLLs from KDZ files

This thread seemed relevant but I honestly can't remember anymore

May you find something that I have not. :) <3
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] haise.zero:
If anyone's interested I think I actually might make a discord server specifically focused around flashing, rooting, and unlocking the bootloader of the Stylo 6 (and who knows, maybe more phones in the future)

Or just general development.

But, still.

I'll try and get it up tomorrow and post an invite link here for anyone that wants to join. It'd be nice to have everything centralized into one place, and the ability to have conversations and keep track of files, logs, patches, links, etc.
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] mydemonguy6:
sounds like a great idea also this only thing i have gotten to work was LGup v1.16 with the 1.17 .dll file but idk if that will help any but it did let me instill a firmware to the phone
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] lowkeyst4tus:
You making great progress 🤞.. I'm looking for a computer now to jump in on it.. on a positive note, we can still debloat without root.. I want to replace the lg phone, contact & message apps.. I just got visual voicemail to work on my cricket wireless Stylo 6.. I'll share a screenshot of it working.. try going through the lg website for the normal files to do a regular update via PC.. then replace the legit lgup with dual mode.. the universal drivers might be dated, but with google forcing manufacturers to push development friendly project treble phones, the legit drivers might work 🤞🍻🥨🥳
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] lowkeyst4tus:
That would be a great idea 🍻.. I'm onboard 😁

Any word on a sprint version?
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] haise.zero:
Discord server is up. Expires never, 25 uses. If we somehow end up with more members, I'll make a new link.

​

I have roles for development admins, support mods, contributors, and basic members depending on what people contribute, how they contribute, and how often they are actively working towards development. There is no obligation here to uphold and maintain your activity; roles will simply be assigned depending on what you naturally bring to our project.

Development Admins will be heads of the hydra that I hope this server turns out to be be. They answer questions, help track development progress, assist in locating and uploading necessary files, help drive the direction of the project, and are generally all-around contributors to all sorts of topic. Feel free to specialize in one or two departments as well. Bonus points if you're familiar with hex editing and willing to assist in patching LGUP 1.16! I will post some information in the server about IDA.

Support mods will be focused more on assisting others with questions and sorting out theories and ideas, and explaining how different aspects of our development project works. You will also have access to a channel specifically for support and above, for anything generally.

Active contributors will be given some extra room and access to a few more channels, as well as a neat little role name. (Don't worry, you don't have to share every thought and constantly stay active to be a contributor. Just put your two cents in, and be relatively worthwhile.)

The rest of you will simply be members, likely the lurkers who are awaiting for the project to finish. You're more than welcome in the server, but don't expect any fancy privileges, role names, or access to the higher level channels. :)

INVITE

Please see the post below for the new invite link.

I will update the server more and be more active here tonight with files and instructions. For now, go ahead and join to settle in.
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] haise.zero:
If you could join our server and post in the respective category for the LGUP 1.16 software and 1.17 dll file that would be extremely helpful, and would further our development. I and others in the future will greatly appreciate it! :)

Then come on in! We need everyone we can get :D

Thank you very much! If you could pop into the server and start logging progress with us there, that'd be greatly appreciated! Unsure exactly what you're getting at but I'd love to talk more about it. I could also use somebody to help lead this project, since I obviously can't do this all by myself, but also can't exactly manage everything by myself either. I would love to have you on as support staff. :) Verify your username with me through dms here on XDA and I'll bump you up in privilege and give you more access to the server and its channels.

I could be mistaken, but I do believe the sprint version will be just fine. Come join the server! We'd love to have you, and could use all the help we can get.
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] Tigerevo:
I am thankful for this post . This is my first stylo since stylo 1 . It is the blue cricket 730am model. I want to root it to enable 5g on it . They told me at Cricket it was capable and even on the LG site it has at the bottom of Crickets Tmobiles and Unlocked models that 5g is available in certain markets . Well in field test mode you see options for 5gnr and Rat selection has 5g checkbox . So with root I know how to enable this feature or a really good idea of how to do it . I've used all in one toolbox . Ive also used miracle thunderbox to unlock bootloader . Well what I get now is a Demi God crash handler when trying to get into fastboot mode .

I think they dont want to turn on the 5g function so you shell out alot more for the official 5 g devices .

I have rooted samsung so experienced with twrp and odin . Ive never flashed with an LG . I did download LG up and LG bridge.

To the senior member poster on here looking for computer on here that has a chromebook . There are guides online to turn your chromebook into a windows 10 laptop ! I did it for my brother's cheap hp chromebook .

I also got the nokia c2 tava from Cricket running android 10 . It is mtk too but cant get into engineer mode to verify if it has the same features as far as 5g built into the programming as the stylo 6 .
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] dominoeflux:
I guess I better join as well, seeing I too own the boost mobile lg stylo 6. I believe I should be of some help even if I'm minor experienced with rooting. Been rooting for a few years now, the first phone was from boost mobile as well can't remember the model though and my second was the famous LG Nexus 5x. That's when I really starting getting in to rooting and flashing roms.
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] Tigerevo:
This was a message just sent to a twrp maker on here was a click bate type but saw your name behind the twrp . I have stylo 6 cricket . i may have unlocked my bootloader . oh when using twrp app from playstore it says the device is stylo 3plus and there is a twrp of that . ok it says my phone has software update. So can I download where to find the download and how to extract boot.img. also could send you a pick of my fastboot its now Demigod crash handler and says I can get ram dump with reaper.exe

I looked up that program all Ive found is audio software . Im trying to root mine to enable 5 g I have a good idea of how to.

Apologies to everyone! I don't maintain this thread often.

For some reason, our main channel is #firmware under the FILES category. It just sort of happened. Please pop in :)

Please do! We could use all the help we can get. So far it's mostly been me with the help of two others.

Your curiosity and willingness to get your hands dirty would be extremely useful here. Please do join and catch up!

Nope! I believe it was just used up, or for whatever reason expired. Fixed link is at the top of this post!

Currently I'm working on patching LGUP_Common.dll to bypass the checks for ARB, OPID, and whatever else we're going to need. Eventually I plan on editing the cmd utility to allow for way more commands.

I recently opened a Github as well! Please, take a look. This is where you can be the most impactful. Likely only for those willing to get their hands dirty, but if you have anything to add at all, please make a pull request!

[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] Tigerevo:
I am in the process of getting full dump !!! Finally
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] Yeedatoy:
How are you going to bypass the verified boot 2.0? You can't crossflash beginning with the G8. You're most likely going to have to find a method using Qfil and Firehose
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] Tigerevo:
Can you use Qfil with an mtk processor?
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] haise.zero:
Could you tell me more about that, or point me towards some resources that would help me learn some more about that?

Alternatively, if you could start a DM here or add me on Discord (Haise#4915) that'd be extremely helpful. I prefer Discord as I am not on XDA nearly as often, but whatever works for you.
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] haise.zero:
I'm pretty sure SP Flash Tool works with MTK processors, but I haven't checked that out very thoroughly yet.
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] leptdre:
QFIL and Firehose are only for Qualcomm processors
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] Yeedatoy:
The US Stylo has a Qualcomm chip, there are only a few variants outside of the US that come with mtk processors, but there is a universal script to get root on most mtk devices, or at least temporary root. I'm not sure where it is but if you search around the forums I'm sure you can find it without much of a hard time.

[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] dimevox:
Happy to see that members are working diligently on this device. I am an ethical hacker with years of experience in cybersecurity & offsec. However, not much knowledge with Android development. Id like to take get hands on with unlocking and rooting this device and have found this thread to be the absolute most helpful anywhere on the net thus far. Will join the discord if invites remain available.

I see that a member posted a root guide located here:

https://xdaforums.com/t/thinking-of-rooting-my-lg-stylo-6.4140341/post-84615893

Still have yet to see anything on just how the bootloader is unlocked with this device.

My initial plan upon receiving this device was to install Kali Nethunter or another Debian based OS alongside to use in the field. I was not aware or LG preventing bootloader access. A linked tutorial or quick writeup on bootloader access would be appreciated.

Thanks for all the hard work, keep at it!
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] haise.zero:
The latest link from me should still be available; it's set to never expire.

There is no bootloader access, as you can't boot into the correct mode. If you try, you'll boot right back into system instead. We can boot into fastboot but it doesn't have the right binaries to receive the commands we need to use.

What we do have is download mode and LAF doesn't like to play nice with us. We're currently reverse engineering the latest LGMST in order to learn about how to use the LGUP_Common.dll library to interact with phones and are building our own program that will be utilizing it. It'll be a lengthy process but it should work extremely well.

What we could really use is a temp root solution via exploits; if you know much about writing scripts for that, I'd ask you to take a look at the Android security bulletin and let us know if you think you can cook something up for our devices. That'd allow us a lot more freedom and I could dump our device partitions and get to know our devices a lot better. Quite a few other things as well.

Thanks!

A few updates!

Got through to the main window tonight. The app has several kind of obfuscations but we're working with it pretty well. LG went reaaally out of their way to break this app in all sorts of ways, presumably so that any R&D guys who get a new update wont be able to mess with it - or because we have it and they don't want us to do exactly what we're doing anyways. Besides, we have backups of earlier versions anyways so it doesn't matter.

Anyways, I've attached a screenshot - it's a little broken right now so don't mind that, we're definitely in the development phase, not even pre-alpha - so feel free to take a look! It's nice and shiny. :D

Tonight and tomorrow we'll be doing something really cool, too. This is also one of the last posts that'll be here for a while. Stay tuned and again feel free to join our discord!

Could you copy your boot and preloaded vbmeta img ? Maybe we can flash those and unlock ours. Still trying to find way to flash a partition
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] haise.zero:
We can't, and it's not a very good idea to do so (it's a tricky process and we don't know much about how that works in LGUP yet).

Warlock and I have been chatting a bit about things and we're reverse engineering out what happened and how to reproduce it. Since we don't have any fastboot unlocking binaries present in fastbootd, it's my guess that after corruption Chimera managed to overwrite a couple of values that set the device as unlocked-by-default (see the Android developer docs on the bootloader, I'm on mobile and lazy).

I've been caught up in a lot so things are a little slow and we could use a hand. Feel free to pop in to the server at any time.
