Hey all Stylo users,
I think my bootloader is locked or something because I can't root after flashing a KDZ for Fido on my phone. I flashed the KDZ, then in an attempt to regain root, restored from the LG PC Bridge program. But still can't root with LG One Click Root or Kingroot. Kingroot worked 100% before flashing the KDZ. Im just not clear on why after flashing it, root isn't possible. The KDZ thread states that there was no root method available for 5.1.1. or something. My current version is 5.0.2, and I have no OTA's pending. I guess Fido hasn't upgraded this phone to 5.1.1. yet. Can someone fill me in if they have any info? Thank you !
Flashing a kdz for the stylo locks the bootloader, and root will not be available anymore, thats why using a kdz should be used as a last resort.
Thank's for the info friend, and that's too bad for me I guess.

Lg stylo H634
I have the Lg stylo h634 through Cricket. After reading another thread I used Kingroot to root my phone. However I decided I wanted to removed the root so I can upgrade to Marshmallow. So I purchased Supersu to get rid of kIngroot. My phone is now stuck in bootloop. At this point I don't care what ROM I have, I just need my phone back. Any suggestions, help or even a "I'm screwed buy a new phone" statement would a least let me move on. I have been at this for about a week now.
Thank you

Bring it to where you got it and play dumb. Don't mention root or anything of the sort. As far as they're concerned you don't know jack about phones. Just tell them it froze and you had to pull the battery to reset it but now it wont turn on.
My Cricket Wireless LG G Stylo is also briked
I rooted my Cricket Wireless LG G Stylo (H634) with Kingroot then I used Super sume to covert to SuperSU instead of Kingroots after I used the Super sume app and updated binaries the phone restarted and and is stuck on the LG logo. Boost and Metro has flash files all over the web TOT and KDZ files we need flash files for the Cricket Wireless LG G Stylo if anyone can post them online thank you in advance.
Me 2 but i still had warrant after i rooted
I bricked my phone with supersu me but i still had warranty after i rooted with king root so i called it in and they gave me a new phone
I rooted my new lg stylo with king root and sticked with kingroot cause i dont want to
Brick my phone again ever since my phone worked perfectly fine if you ever get a new phone just stick with kingroot
Avoid apps that cause phone to Brick
Xposed installer
Super SU me
Dont use these apps unless theres a kdz available for your phone
I am rooted with New version 4.8 KingRoot. Have root checker Pro by joeykrim. No issues. First attempt with super su bricked. But phone was three days old. Duh my phone locked. New phone is rooted for good. Need custom recovery though.

Hi. I'm trying to get a smartphone for the first time.
I got an used and locked G Flex 2 LS996 to use at Ringplus out of my ignorance. I didn't know they have to be unlocked even if it's a Sprint phone for Sprint MVNO. I used this guide to root zv9. Following this sim-unlock guide seems to require downgrading to zv6, so now I'm at this guide.
But when I use LGUP, it says the version is 'LS996ZV4' even though what's installed is zv9, and trying to upgrade using linked file, LS991ZV6_12_ARB02.tot, results in error, 'Error: TOT file is invalid[1]'.
Any suggestions? Thank you.
I'm thinking of trying unroot zv9 -> downgrade to zv6 -> root zv6 -> unlock. Will it be safe? And I couldn't find unroot guide for zv9. Is it the same as zv6-8?
I made the back to stock guide its in general. You didnt look enough for it. You shouldnt downgrade to any version it will brick your device. ZV9 is unlockable just replace the files. I used the ones of G4 LS991. :good:

I saw your post for stock image files http://forum.xda-developers.com/g-flex2/general/return-to-stock-ls996-stock-img-t3217089, but I don't know how to do it. I tried LGUP, but it says I have zv4 when I have zv9. Upgrading to zv6 fails, as well. Did you mean another post?

This guidehttp://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-g4/general/guide-sim-unlock-t3229801 says I need to downgrade, so that's what I was trying. It's not safe?

By the way, if I get this phone unlocked following these guides, will I be able to use it on Ringplus? Will checking its MEID show clean financial check?
My guide explicitly says "USE EACH VERSION WITH ITSELF DO NOT DOWNGRADE OR YOU WILL BRICK".
If you followed rooting guide. Its the same process to go back to stock flashing just the system image with dd command. Dont follow all the lg g4 unlock guide all you need is to download the files and replace them. Use root explorer if you do it with the normal file explorer you wont find anything. And last im not in US territory so I dont know if it will work for ringplus.
Ok. Since two guides say different things about downgrading, I thought going from root to unroot has to be same version but downgrading from stock to stock was fine. Perhaps I got misinformation leading me to believe LG version of Android for its latest phones are the same.
Thank you for your input. I'll try later again and see what happens.

LS991 Sprint G4 could ve downgraded from ZV6 to ZV5. But not sprint LS996 Flex2.
Actually they root just like us with full system images. I had the G4 and I rooted it the same way we do.
Hello all,
I also have the ZV4 firmware for a sprint phone, what should i do to get the phone unlocked and on 5.1.1 ?
I tried to stop the OTA updates so I can root my phone, but is there any way I can root now? I am running the H810 with marshmallow. Even if I can get the software of the h81010o to flash on the LGUP program. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Just a general PSA. I reverted to 5.1.1 Lollipop stock and OTA'd to Marshmallow with my LG G Stylo purchased from Family Mobile. All seemed well, and I rooted via KingRoot, which claims it has a G Stylo unroot strategy for 6.0. All seemed well. Configured my phone, used apps that needed root. However, when I rebooted, I got stuck in the 1003 Security bootloop. Am now downloading Marshmallow KDZ to see if that gets me back into a sane state.
tl;dr Don't use KingRoot to root Marshmallow with your H631 just yet.
(Use this after all updates are taken)
Fastboot boot twrp recovery
Then flash the Twrp.IMG in recovery
http://m.supersuroot.com (to root)
Yep, I went the adb->fastboot->supersu route after reverting to stock. Xposed and TWRP seem to be working fabulously. Had a devil of a time getting fastboot to work with the latest LG Stylo drivers, and ended up having to install the LG United Mobile Driver in Windows and adding it in Device Manager manually.

I'd love to know where you found the Marshmallow KDZ also, been wanting to update but OTA wont work for me. gets half way and crashes.
Please do the reseach before going flash crazy.. On mm you need to fastboot unlock bootloader before root or you will get bootloop. Here is the kdz guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g-stylo/development/stock-lg-h631-firmware-h63120b-kdz-t3339342. Here is the root guide i used and it worked perfect for me http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g-stylo/how-to/guide-lg-g-stylo-how-to-root-t-mobile-6-t3333916. Anytime i flash kdzs, i turn off my internet connection before starting lg flash tools to avoid unimportant errors. The only thing strange with using lg flash tools without internet is the part where you pick install language is blank but still works perfect. Good luck
On my last lg g5 I bricked it, I tried downloading the tot file using the tot file and the dll and followed the instructions to the T.... bricked the thing is there was an update for installation and I had installed it, was that what the problem was? and on my new one I want to use kingroot, its a tmobile LGG5 6.0.1 no updates its H83010a and I was just wondering if it is available for rooting? I haven't installed the update to this one and I really wanna root it can someone help me?
