this would be great...i just got the same phone but on metro pcs...we are trying to get a custom recovery for our g stylo too...although it does seem the metro/tmobile variant of this phone is slightly different spec wise...would that be an issue requiring 2 different ports of twrp?
edit i just found this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60913483&postcount=23 and he claims this will install twrp and root the phone...so i was wondering if that file he says to download is ok to use with the metropcs lg g stylo?
Following in structions on that link did root my metropcs lg stylo. The twrp however, did not work...

This is an old thread thanks to Unjustified Dev and fix_this! We have TWRP working. Here is the Thread for that
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/lg-g-stylo-t-mobile-lg-h631tn-t3123165
Same for both T-mobile and Metro PCS
we just need to either unlock the boost bootloader or bump a TWRP recovery the right way to make it work on the locked bootloader

Is there anyone here that was actually close or tried to make a bump of TWRP for boost?

SuperR from android forums was helping me and he used the same bump method that he used on the warp sync, but it didn't work sadly
A couple weeks ago i said i rooted my metro lg stylo and the twrp didnt work. Well i decided to do a full unroot until there was more support. Now i came back to the forums, see theres a working twrp and decide to root my phone again, only now it wont root. The one-click root completes and says im rooted but when i use root checker it says NOT rooted. I open supersu and it says no binary installed.
I think maybe my stock recovery got jacked up when i originally rooted. What do you think? Ive completed the one click root at least 8 times. Phone still wont re-root

have you tried using the Metro KDZ file for your phone to go back to complete stock?
No i haven't. If you give me a little direction I will do that. I have to admit, I'm more familiar with fixing/unbricking/flashing back to stock on Samsung phones, with Odin and all. I'm still getting used to LG phones. I'd like to be VERY careful flashing anything on this Stylo. I'm becoming very attached, and $200 for a phone is a bit more than I'm used to spending. I'd hate to brick it.

If you use the KDZ you wont be able to Root and Bootloader will be LOCK ... So just a warning if you decide to do it
Well thats no bueno. I want my phone rooted. I just cant understand why after the one-click root everything seems like it went fine... I even see the SuperSU app in my apps, but when i click it, it says "no SU binary installed"

If you are still om LP 5.0.2 Try using SEND_COMMAND on Download mode to flash TWRP. Im not 100% sure of this process need to be rooted but i dont think so, when TWRP is flash you can flash SU and give it a shot... Im using my phone to post ill send full detail on how to do ot in a bit
I would sincerely appreciate that! As i said before, I'm still unfamiliar with how to flash on LG phones, right down to "how do you boot into download mode?" so detailed instructions would be appreciated.
And really... I appreciate it
(update)
Ok i figured out how to get to download mode, not too difficult. So i figured while i was hooked up to the computer I'd do some tinkering. I'm not android sdk literate so i didnt get far. I do, however, know enough to use some ADB commands and used ADB REBOOT RECOVERY just to see if my gut was right. I cant reboot recovery. I just get a toppled over android and message saying "no command".

Download and install drovers if you haven't done that yet, ill be posting step in a bit just download the files and have them ready.
I am on a metropcs.
I just need good steps on how to properly flash twrp using the send_command in download mode, as you suggested. And i believe my stock recovery is no longer working...
Its for this reason i believe i cant re-root my phone right now. The binary is installed through recovery, correct?

EDIT : Ok this Process to Flash Recovery (TWRP) is just for METRO PCS and T-MOBILE if you are on LP 5.0.2 , DON'T and i REPEAT DON'T try this if you are on Boost and if you have MetroPCS and T-Mobile OTA 5.1.1
ok here is what you can do and i mean @OldAzzNoob to flash TWRP via Download mode (Thank to @Unjustified Dev for this steps that help me out before)
Steps :
1- Go HERE if you haven't and download from Prerequisites step 1 and 2 (LG Root and LG Drivers @Thank you @Unjustified Dev)
"NOTE: skip Drivers if you have them install already"
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2- CLICK HERE and download TWRP 2.8.7.0 @Thank you @Unjustified Dev) once downloaded Decompress on your root directory of the SDCard and rename ir " recovery.img " without "
3- Decompress LG Root on Root C: drive for easy access.
4- Enable USB Debugging via Developer Option.(now ready for a test drive )
5- Open Command Prompt and go to where you Decompress the LG Root zip file (in my case is C:\LG_Root )
and Type
Code:
adb devices
after doing so it will show if your device is attach or not (see image)
NOTE : Don't close this command prompt window
6- Nice! Device been detected and ready for some more fun
7- lets go to Download Mode ( click here if you don't know how to )
8- ok now having the Command Prompt window open lets type and press enter
Code:
ports.bat
it will show the ports our phone is using but we are going to use just 1 and is REG_SZ
9- Now that we know what port we are going to be using lets flash this little fella and i mean TWRP image
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FLASHING RECOVERY VIA DOWNLOAD MODE
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1- Now is time to run Send_Command (NOTE : make sure your COM port number is the one YOUR phone is using this varies per device mine is COM9 yours maybe different or not)
1st.
Code:
Send_Command \\.\COM9
after typing that line it will show just # which mean you are doing great, now lets continue.
Code:
dd if=/storage/external_SD/recovery.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/recovery
wait till # show back again after that is finish TWRP should be in place and you are ready to use it
you can just Type LEAVE or pull battery and try manually boot to Custom Recovery.
NOTE : if everything when well i recommend going back to LG_Root using Command Prompt and type ADB DEVICES to check if device is connected after checking that out type ADB REBOOT RECOVERY to boot into recovery just to make sure it flashed correctly.

Seeing as there isn't a section for the LG P870/LG Escape I'm going to try and get as much info condensed into one thread for now.
Not even sure how popular this phone is but, hopefully this will be of some use to someone.
KDZ:
I know this isn't posted anywhere so here is the v10f KDZ from LG. It is the latest firmware as of 11/6/2012:
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WEBSW/LGP870/AATTBK/P87010f_00/P87010f_00.kdz
If you don't know how to flash a KDZ I will make a guide here soon. V10f is rootable using the method below as is v10c
Download Mode:
To get into download mode turn off your phone, press and hold the vol+ and vol- keys, with those held down insert the USB cable while continuing to hold down the keys. After a few seconds phone will enter download mode automatically.
Rooting:
I was able to root my phone that has v10c on it using this tool:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31963526&postcount=532
I used 1.6 of the root script but some say that 1.2 works better for them. I would try 1.6 if that doesn't work try 1.2 if it fails the first time run it a second time and it should work.
Thanks! My wife just got this. I was able to root and update and retain root with OTA rootkeeper. Was looking for a kdz just in case. If there's enough interest i will see if i can port TWRP so we can cook up some custom roms.
I am definitely interested in custom roms, I have this device. Its not bad considering the price and what you get. 1494 on geekbench too! Pretty decent!

Aye guys I'm new into rooting and android in general, but I don't really understand how to root this phone. Kinda been looking around for a while and I was wondering if you can write some sort of guide. As of now I'm pretty lost the other threads aren't giving me any general information on exactly how to root the LG P870 or androids in general.
-Thanks
Btw I understand what exactly what rooting does to your device and the purpose of rooting, its just exactly how to root the device.
Well first things first do you have the android SDK installed on your computer

Download the zip and unzip it to your desktop. Go into your phone's settings and go to developers options. Turn on USB debugging. Go back to settings and go to security. Turn on unknown sources. Now plug your phone in and run the .bat file that you just unzipped. Follow the commands on the and that should be it. Good luck!

KDZ is the LG format for ROMs which is the built in read only memory that hold the instructions for the phone to run the hardware and features.
But I just rooted my phone with a combination of the above files, and it didnt go exactly as I hoped. First I ran the v1.2 batch file linked above, (the 1.6 batch file archive is invalid and doesnt extract properly. It seemed like it ran properly, i did the restore (no data destructive you shouldnt lost any data) but I didnt have root when completed. Then I tried the v17 of the original thread which can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460
That one also ran but failed at the end saying something about me not having root on the phone.
I than ran the v1.2 batch file not once, but twice in a row. The second time I found my phone operating in "emulator mode" in other words, it was running laggy as hell and very slow. I then ran the V17 batch file from the link above, and boom it worked. So as you can see it wasnt typical, but I think if you dont have success with the 1.2 the first time, run it again, if it still didnt work, try running v17 like i did. I now have root and my phone is working fine.
Basically, I got the Escape then got the Nexus7 and have been involved in that. Really haven't been doing much with the Escape. I will be looking into more for everyone and hopefully get a custom recovery at the very least. Then at that point we can start thinking about rom. Until then we are stuck with what we have. I will get more info for everyone , till then this is what we have. If you think you can help go for it. If not sorry but this is the best info there is for our phone . I will positively without a doubt post any new info here so if that's what you are looking for this is the right place until then, thank you and you are welcome.

Sorry for the inconvenience but where exactly do I run the .bat file?
-Thanks
One more thing I never downloaded a .zip or .rar file.. Could you please leave me a link?
Rooted
Thanks people I guess I just needed time to figure it out lol. I ran it in cmd twice(1.2v) but not right after each other and the second time it worked thanks guys.
Well. I tried to install beats audio but now it won't even load up just boot loops when it gets to at&t...
Bricked
Great the first bricked lg p870 lol, anyone know how to fix this. Or is it just a brick?
Sorry for the repititive posts, but so far I have gotten my device to read by my computer. The only thing is I can see it in the Device manager but it never shows up in my computer. It also picks the phone up in cmd, is there sometype of command I can run to flash the device and put it back to normal?

Is their a guide on how to flash the device using the kdz flash tool? I mean my phone won't turn on though. It goes into the lg logo then just goes black (the back light is still on).
K I have all the tools but
I downloaded every tool from this thread
But in the PDF guides it says to put the phone in Upgrade mode by removing the SIM, battery and SDC(Micro sd card?) so I did that. Then insert the usb while holding the Volume Up button. All that happens on my phone is the home keys on the bottom just flash. And my phone doesn't connect to my computer either.
My Notes on LG P870
Ok I have fixed my device, well twice now. It seems whenever you try to change any file within the root it restarts, then boot loops. I tried too change a font using Rom Toolbox, it restarted then boot looped. I rooted the device using the 1.2v script once, but this time I'll try 1.7v and see if I can change fonts etc.
Are any of you guys having any problem with this?
If you do, and you are soft bricked just:
Download UPK 3.7.1
Then open up LG /mobile Update
Click Install Drivers(Make sure your phone is not connected) Choose your phone and carrier
Let that finish(Gonna take awhile you have to install all of them)
Then click Install updates...Done
Worked
Posting confirmation for an LG Escape (p870). 10f rooted using the tools linked in first post. Used version 1.2 to start and had to use the version 17 of the other rooting kit to finalize like another user encountered as well. Thanks will be given if they haven't been yet.
Hey Guys. So Some of you may know towelroot was just released by Geohot. I went ahead and tried it on my G2 runing stock 4.4.2 and it WORKED! I ran root checker after running the apk and it said I have full root level access. You just have to download SuperSu from market afterwards. I downloaded root explorer and was prompted with the prompt to grant root and all was well!
Link to original post: http://tinyurl.com/pykqkpt
1. Go to http://towelroot.com/
2. tap the logo for apk
3. Run the apk and follow directions within
4. After phone reboots, Install SuperSu
ALL DONE!
A side note, I haven't tried using rom manager to install custom recovery as I'm not sure if we've found a button code. If someone is willing to help me with that Id be grateful. I can't afford to brick this phone as it's my only phone work work and play.
AWESOME.
Can anyone else confirm this before we try? any bugs?
And how do I go about installing TWRP recovery (or any other suitable recovery)
All is working fine, flash twrp recovery with autorec app by cloudy.
As a side note, please donate to Dev if you can. I know i did.

Just to clarify, you've managed to install TWRP on your G2 and boot it into recovery with autorec? Just want to make sure before I try.
Never used autorec so if you've got a guide to link to that'd be great.

too late I used a autorec and actually got the phone to TWRP. I then proceeded (stupidly) erasing everything and wiping the device because I thought I'd be able to mount it and copy the CyanogenMod file I wanted.
Boy was I wrong.. TWRP did not allow me to mount the device to USB. And for some reason I couldn't get the right driver to install in Device Manager.
At one point I decided it would be a good idea to restart, now I'm stuck at boot loop and I can't get back into TWRP. I tried holding power+down, that forces it to restart a bunch of times. I held the UP button but that puts it into FIRMWARE UPATE mode which also doesn't allow ADB
How do I get back to TWRP? how do I flash Cyanogen mod through ADB
Any ideas please?

Hold vol down + power button until screen flashes black followed by lg screen release buttons and quickly press both again and hold. It will boot you to a white screen asking you if you want to fully factory restore...press power to agree... Since twrp replaced factory recovery it will not wipe but instead take you into twrp...takes a couple tries sometimes... You need cm and gapps packages on your internal memory to flash through twrp
If you wiped everything you will have to start over by flashing the original firmware again. It happened to me too because I didn't have the ROM I was flashing on my device already. I used this guide, http://youtu.be/Lg693AYgoTo, to flash back to stock JB, then upgrade again. Just be sure the rom is you want to flash is on your phone since USB won't work. It's no guarantee though, esp. since there is that driver error.

What are you trying to accomplish connecting to computer?
Nevermind I forgot you can choose files from computer when connected...but yeah...may need full restore...there are a few step by step threads on here to do so
Same problem I encountered, so I just figured USB is a no go and had to do the firmware update and then start over with ROM and GAPPS on device next time.Hope you get it...it sucks with all the excitement and all the time us G2 owners had to wait!
Ugh. This sucks. this file is taking forever to download for some reason and I'm in no mood to start dealing with this ****.
I'm just going to take it to the T-Mobile store tomorrow.
It's rooted and they will check it with their diagnostic tool and tell you sorry. Just firmware update it to lose root first. Use this...easy...http://youtu.be/Lg693AYgoTo

OH wow. I ended up finding this wonderful little tool called LGMobile Support Tool which completely and automatically reset my device back to factory setting! That was SUPER easy.
as the title says, I'm looking to see if anybody knows or has been successful in figuring out how to Root the Note Edge.
I was thinking of using CF 910method but wanted to see what others have done before I started experimenting

I dont think many have tried yet. Only a few have gotten there device today, the others are waiting for it in the mail, And i believe all of us arent up to bricking rare device lol.
but yea ill wait on the root until there is a way to no trip knox. I like having the option of returning it. (some places check now)
Yeah I thought about it in being a guinea pig. I'm not trying to spend time recovering this thing.
Until then, I look forward to any positive word to root, not necessarily trying to maintain Knox, but that would be amazing.
I plan on trying today and will post an update. I have the tmobile version and will use the note 4 root method.
I read somewhere the tmobile note 4 root method from chainfire works on the tmobile note edge. I'll be trying that method when I get mine on monday from fedex.

I read somewhere the tmobile note 4 root method from chainfire works on the tmobile edge. I don't see why the note 4 root method wouldnt work, its the same phone just different screen
I just successfully rooted using the t-mobile chainfire. I followed the directions exactly from the T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 xda page. It's under general and stickied at the top. In Odin it said failed after flashing the chainfire tar but it appears to have worked just fine. I also flashed the twrp linked in the root how-to, then flashed super su in twrp.
I confirmed root by running SuperSu and also running Titanium Backup.

Hey, which TWRP file did you grab? Same from the link?(openrecovery-twrp-2.8.1.1-trltetmo.img)
What's your build #(N915TUVU1ANJL) ?
I'm thinking about doin this as well.
Yes. I used the one from the link.

I haven't had any issues. I was concerned when Odin showed failed after flashing the chainfire tar but I went ahead and pulled the battery after giving it a moment, booted back into download mode and flashed the twrp recover. I got all the files from the post I linked above, except for Super Su. Follow at your own risk but things went pretty smoothe for me.

Thanks for taking the risk!
I did the same minus installing TWRP Recovery after, as I just want my phone to be stock touchwiz (except for root). But using the N910T root method (CF) Did not produce a successful root, do you think it may have been TWRP that actually made the root work?
DO NOT TRY THIS ROOT!!! THIS DOES NOT WORK!!! This will give you Cache and other problems. I have tried this on 3 T-Mobile Galaxy Edge phones and all of them give the same problem. I had to restore the original firmware on all 3 phones. I also had a friend try this and the same results.
OP, lets see some proof!!!
I think I'll wait for the L update before i root. ***Unless a knowledgeable recognized contributor posts a way*** @Chainfire
anyone else been successful or unsuccessful using this method?, kinda stuck in limbo right now!
I think best bet is to just wait for a 100% method especially on a phone so expensive

I don't really understand what you mean by Cache and other problems. Could you be more specific? I'm not trying to lead anyone afoul, just simply stating I was successful at using the tmobile note root method without any issues.

I get the unable to mount cache in TWRP. The Note 4 root messes with the file system and does something with the TWRP. Can you be more specific on how you install SU in TWRP? When you reboot from TWRP and it asks you to install SU, is that when you install it?
Has anyone unlocked the tmobile note edge yet for at&t use

I flashed the super su zip in TWRP.
http://download.chainfire.eu/589/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.16.zip
Like I said, I have been using my phone fine since Saturday without issue but I haven't tried to mount the cache so I can't speak to that.
I think there was a misunderstanding on installing SU. I just tried this: Installed TWRP via download mode. Went into recovery and installed the SU file from the link you provided. I rebooted the phone and updated the SU program in the play store. I also installed Titanium. When I clicked on the SU program, it asked to update binary and I clicked "Normal". It came back with a response of "Installation Failed". When I run Titanium, it says "Asking for root rights...." and a popup came from SU that says it has been granted access. It is stuck on the "Asking for roots rights". I also installed Root Checker and it says I do not have root.
Did you update SU from the play store?

I also tried the new download from chainfire that has our phone on his list now and same results. I don't believe "lreeb1" has root. When I don't update my SU, it shows I have root to various programs, but the programs all say I don''t have root.
Let me see a screenshot of "Rootchecker"???
Anyone have a link or instructions on how to root, unlock the Bootloader, and install custom recovery on the Metro varient running stock 6.0? Been searching around and can only find 5.1 and down instructions. Cant afford to brick.
from what i am reading, you should be able to use the same method that they used to root the tmobile 6.0 update found here http://androidforums.com/threads/guide-how-to-root-t-mobile-6-0-update.1008880/
i havent tried it myself yet, so if you have the courage please report back and let us know how it goes
edit i couldnt wait anymore...i kdz'd back to stock and im trying to force the ota to come through...will post back with results when i get it and attempt to root
Thank you for this link. This worked beautifully. i was able to get into TWRP and do a full backup and install Super SU. Yes, I'm using MS631 with Android 6.0 and now I can say I'm successfully rooted. This made my day being able to root the Stylo after the upgrade.
Encase you're unsure on how to gain access to a command line through Windows hold down shift key and right click the file. Should see the option to open command line and from then on follow the steps.

If you manually change your time to 11pm local time and then reboot your phone you should see the upgrade message in the system update section

It doesn't automatically reboot for me. So I don't think it matters as long as you unlock before rebooting.

That's right. That's what happened to me. The only ways to fix the problem is either by flashing a KDZ (with a computer), or send it to LG for repairs. Better safe than sorry.
Hey guys kinda stuck need root(apps req) no access to a pc that i can install anything on (outta town in a hotel) no way to root with out the pc? Rooted several phones in the past mostly samsungs. Most already had one click root available....

nope. It happens to me too. I think you have to have Android SDK Tools installed on your PC alongside ADB for it to work, sadly

I did, it turns out, I had to install the appropriate drivers fro the Stylo MTP, then I had to install the appropriate ADB Drivers by updating to LGE Mobile ADB Drivers, then after that, I had to do "adb reboot-bootloader" and that booted it straight into the fastboot interface, but to no avail, I couldn't get fastboot to recognise the device, so I went into device manager, and I saw "(something)com bootloader interface", I expanded that, and saw Android Bootloader interface. So I updated the software, hit load from PC, and hit Android Bootloader Interface Version 9.0.0.0 instead of 11, and fastboot saw my phone
message me further if you need any help, if you want me to Teamspeak you so I can show you directly, I'll be glad to help you

Hello everyone,
Here are some step by step guides for those of you who need detailed instructions for rooting and un-rooting the T-mobile LG V10.
The guides are short and to the point and are meant to be followed one after the other (STEP#1 --> STEP#2 --> STEP#3).
For the step#3 guide, you must choose one out of the three available:
UnRoot, stock, or custom MM 6.0
Guides:
Tmobile-LGV10_pre_flash_MM_6_0_requirements_STEP_1
Tmobile-LGV10_pre_flash_MM_6_0_requirements_STEP_2
Tmobile-LGV10_flash_Stock_UnRoot_MM_6_0_STEP_3 <------ If you want to just have stock MM 6.0 only (no root, use this if you want to return the phone or sell it)
Tmobile-LGV10_flash_Root_Stock_MM_6_0_STEP_3 <------ If you want to just have stock MM 6.0 with root only
Tmobile-LGV10_flash_Root_Custom_MM_6_0_STEP_3 <------ If you want to have a custom MM 6.0 ROM with root
Tmobile-LGV10_Dirty_Cow_Root_MM_6_0 <------ If you want to gain root access on your stock MM 6.0 rom using the "dirty cow" exploit
The guides will walk you through:
Downloading and Installing the necessary drivers / tools
Unlocking your bootloader
Flashing the stock .kdz file
Flashing the rooted .TOT file
Using TWRP to gain root status
I assume the following:
Your T-mobile LG V10 phone is already on MM 6.0 not lollipop
If you are on lollipop YOU MUST follow the guides below in the exact order listed:
Tmobile-LGV10_pre_flash_MM_6_0_requirements_STEP_1
Tmobile-LGV10_pre_flash_MM_6_0_requirements_STEP_2
Tmobile-LGV10_flash_Root_Stock_MM_6_0_STEP_3
(If you don't, YOU WILL brick your phone! Also, keep in mind that once you upgrade to MM 6.0 YOU WILL NOT be able to downgrade!!)
You are using a Microsoft Windows operating system (Windows 7 or above)
You understand that all data on your phone will be deleted
You understand that your warranty is now gone
You understand that YOU MUST follow the guides one after the other (1 -> 2 -> 3). If you deviate from this YOU WILL NOT be successful in rooting your phone
You understand that YOU MUST follow the steps in the guides one after the other (1 -> 2 -> 3). If you deviate from this YOU WILL NOT be successful in rooting your phone
Your phone's USB PC Connection (mode your phone is in when connected to your PC) is on Media device (MTP) mode. ADB and Fastboot commands to the device WILL NOT work if device is not on this mode
***Un-root***
If you want to "un-root" your device (go back to default stock) use the Tmobile-LGV10_flash_Stock_UnRoot_MM_6_0_STEP_3 guide.
(Keep in mind that this WILL DELETE all data on the phone)
***Fastboot device not detected issue***
Please click on the link below and follow the guide:
Manually installing Android ADB USB Driver
***Dirty Cow Exploit for Root***
I have added a new guide Tmobile-LGV10_Dirty_Cow_Root_MM_6_0 for those of you who would like to use the "Dirty Cow" exploit to gain root access
Link to download the guide (in case the guide attached to this thread is not showing): Click --> Tmobile-LGV10_Dirty_Cow_Root_MM_6_0
Using this exploit will allow you to install TWRP on your phone which allows you to install SuperSU.
Yes, this method to gain root works on the new software update H90120L as well as the older ones
You will have to first complete all of the steps in the guides listed below before attempting to use the Dirty Cow exploit.
- Tmobile-LGV10_pre_flash_MM_6_0_requirements_STEP_1
- Tmobile-LGV10_pre_flash_MM_6_0_requirements_STEP_2
Keep in mind that this exploit will eventually be patched
I am not responsible for what you do to your phone
***Disclaimer***
I take no responsibility in what you do to your phone
The step-by-step guides in this thread were made with the assumption that you will strictly follow them one after the other.
(If you don't, YOU WILL brick your phone!)
READ! READ! READ! Search this thread, read the guides one by one step by step, and pay attention to detail! Most problems have solutions, you just have to do a little homework.
If you run into an problem, verify that you have correctly completed all the steps for each guide before posting to this thread. Most problems come from guides / steps that were skipped.
Not all phones are created equal. What works for one person's phone might not work for your phone. Some phones have hardware issues
that may not arise until you attempt to circumvent security aka (root, install TWRP, etc.)
Use a laptop that is fully charged and plugged in to an outlet instead of a regular PC (unless it has a UPS attached to it) just in case you lose power during the flashing process.
(If you use a regular PC without a UPS attached to it and you lose power during the flashing process, YOU WILL brick your phone!)

Wow, well articulated and simple step-by-step instructions. How much do you charge per hour....we should contract you for all installs.
Is it possible to do this and still retain data? Like not wipe data in twrp, or does it automatically wipe when flashing the tot file? I've had to flash one kdz in the past 3 years and that was to upgrade to mm, it didn't wipe data though. I'm assuming it's basically the same process with the tot?

Just use LG Backup. When I used it it restored even my side loaded apps.
This method requires a wipe so it will erase everything.
