LG G Stylo VM Stock Recovery - General Questions and Answers

I am wondering if anyone has a VirginMobile LG G Stylo 5.1.1 Stock Recovery? I am having a hard time finding one, though its possible I missed it, and if I did, could I be pointed in the right direction? I have learned that a custom recovery as of this time is not possible.

[Q] Question about LG L90 TMO

Hopefully this question is in the right place. I have an LG L90 from Univision which is essentially the same as the T mobile L90 model d415. I rooted it and installed TWRP on it, and want to get rid of it without going through a ton of steps so my question is this... If I use the phones stock "reset to factory" option from boot or otherwise will it overwrite TWRP and root? I already tested to see if I could get to the reset to factory option from boot, but I am concerned with the changes I have made might brick the phone.

Lg G Stylo 5.1.1 10j root

So I ended up getting another lg g Stylo with metropcs, however it came with 10j. Is there a way to root it with that software? My previous one was on 10i and was rooted. Just wanted to confirm though before I brick my phone again hahaha
The reason why I'm rooting it is so I can flash the Google emojis... The Lg emojis are garbage.

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.

LG G Stylo [MS631] (Metro PCS variant) Questions

Ok so I am cotemplating rooting my lg g stylo and from what I can tell it is obviously possible, however there are some concerns that I have found in the guides for rooting that I am unsure about.
1. To root I will use this method is that OK for my variant and are the drivers compatible for my phone? http://androidcreations.weebly.com/lg-g-stylo.html
2. When installing TWRP as specified by Gametheory's website he lists two TWRP recoveries version 10i and 10j which should I use? http://androidcreations.weebly.com/lg-g-stylo-twrp.html
3. When it comes to installing xposed I understand the game has changed from jellybean and we need to flash a zip on top of using the apk will using this method work or do I have to go through a special process like the boost lg g stylo
4. Has anybody actually rooted and gotten xposed running on this variant? Because I have been looking around and I can't seem to find anyone who explicitly states that.
5. I have heard that the T- Mobile variant will be getting marshmallow I was looking arund and found this thread discussing the subject matter my question is will rooting not allow me to recieve the update if it becomes available in the future?
Hopefully someone can answer my questions thanks in advance if you take the time to read this thread.
1. Yes that works.
2. You can find out whether your device shipped with 10i or 10j and flash the correct recovery or you do trial and error, if the 10i gives you a half screen and is unresponsive then you have a 10j stylo and use the 10j recovery.
3. You don't have a boost stylo why would you use the boost procedure? Xposed on the metro stylo is as easy as flashing the arm-sdk22 zip from the xposed for lollipop thread and installing the xposed installer apk. You could also flash Katana rom from GameTheory which already comes with xposed.
4. Dozens upon dozens of us have, I have a metro stylo myself.
5. Don't hold your breath for marshmallow, it might come tomorrow, it might never come. If/when it does you kdz back to stock and take the update or install it via a flashable zip someone is bound to make of it.

I have the same g stylo from metro. With the 10j software, and for some reason when i try the 1 click root, it doesnt load past what is seen in the attached document. My computer is running windows 10, and my phone is completely stock. Should i try a factory reset before i root? And i need detailed info and step by step directions please. I'm new to this whole tweaking android thing. Thank you in advance!

So the marshmallow update came out this morning for metropcs. I am curious to know what will happen if I upgrade. Will I lose my root? Will my phone go into a unnavoidable bootloop? Will ut brick? Should I just not update? Im running a stock rom rooted. Twrp is installed all on a metropcs lg g stylo (ms631). Thank you in advance for your help.

Search the forum there are better threads to help you from what I understand some say they have installed on top of root and were successful others are saying that it will boot loop and brick it's best to research to get a clear answer majority are saying you'll have to go back to bone stock to update then root mm after words method is already out
