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

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.

oh its not me i wanted to ask for a phone with root so i can get the system .img and help a few people that completely deleted some of the system files like the lgstartup.apk ext. i wouldnt have a custom img for the lg g stylo on boost if it was me who bricked my own device
Oh okay, could you not get the .kdz file extract it and get the files needed?
There's no KDZ available for the Cricket G Stylo.

If you replace the KingRoot with super su and up date the binaries after restart you will be bricked on the Cricket Wireless LG G Stylo (H634).

I dont seem to have the same issue. Rooted with Kingroot, supersu me to supersu, and working like a charm. I posted the DLL and TOT files for lgflashtool in another thread as well.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g-stylo/help/h634-cricket-stylo-img-kdz-t3344896
So I used a 5.1 root method on this forum but can seem to undo it. I was waiting on updating to 6.0 but it seems I won't be able to unless I remove the root. Im stuck .
Did you root it manually yourself or just flash the rooted system img from 6th_Hokage? If you flashed the rooted system image, you should be able to flash the stock system img right back to the device and be 'stock' once more but I could be wrong on that.
If you manually rooted it with some other method I can't say for sure about an unroot - I just got one of these Boost Stylos yesterday so my experience with this model is limited. I had the MetroPCS model a few weeks ago and was able to do a bit more with that one I suppose.

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
Yesterday I got an LG G3 D850 (AT&T Model), and the first thig I verify was the software version to begin with the rooting, recovery flashing, moding, you know all the cool stuff we found on XDA.
But for my surprise this phone had official Marshmallow (OTA updated) and without root acces or a custom recovery on it, so I said @&%#$ this @&%$# because I knew this wasnt good news.
So after calming down I started looking for a root method but Oneclick Root fail, kingo root fail, King root actually root the phone but after a restart the root acces was gone, I keep looking for a permanent root method but found none, Instead I found some tutorials showing how to make the Kingroot acces permanent but they used their custom recovery to flash an img that do this AAAAND I didnt had nothing.
Then I found this tutorial http://www.xda-developers.com/lg-g3-locked-bootloader-bump-xdatv/ it shows how to flash the TWRP recovery, using flashify and a custom TWRP img for each LG G3 models, the only requirement was HAVE ROOT ACCES.
I had root acces but temporarily and the tutorial didnt mention anything about Marshmallow, sooooo at my own risk I flashed the recovery img with flashify, the app ask me to reboot, I cross my fingers and VUALA! I got a beutiful error message saying "BOOT VERIFICATION FAILED" spiced with blue and red ligths blinking, I grabbed a cigarrete and went outside and thik how to use my new paperweight.
Buut! I took the battery out and turn the phone on and it still boots, but the recovery was ruined, I kept trying flashing the recovery without succes. I was losing hoppe at that moment and as a last resort I thought in downgrading the phone but everywhere I looked at was a warning message saying "Only for D855" "Only for D855" Do not try to downgrade from MM on other models, I saw others used Lollipop AUTOREC on Marshmallow and briked the phone.
I was a horrible view, but after hours looking for the solution I took the risk of downgrading using Lg Flash tool and an old kit kat TOT for the D850 I had. And now I will explain what I did step by step.
First of all you will need:

And you don't need to install kingroot either to install twrp on the d850
So to clarify, can LGUP be used to downgrade the AT&T LG G3 (D850) from marshmallow even though in that original post it says for the D855 only?
Because I tried the other method with no success. I also tried a suggestion someone else has given elsewhere about using kingroot to root, then using a paid playstore app called supersume to overwrite kinguser. It failed because as stated root doesn't survive reboot and the process was dependent on rebooting.
Thanks for all the info guys.

LGUP is the only way you can downgrade or flash firmwares once your MM. I've stated this in my threads tons of times. I really do need to edit that part to take D855 only out lol.
It only said D855 only as the D850 couldn't be detected at that time.

Sorry I did not see that you where on MM. You'd first need to downgrade to root etc to flash a custom rom. Z

Yesterday I got an LG G3 D850 (AT&T Model), and the first thig I verify was the software version to begin with the rooting, recovery flashing, moding, you know all the cool stuff we found on XDA.
But for my surprise this phone had official Marshmallow (OTA updated) and without root acces or a custom recovery on it, so I said @&%#$ this @&%$# because I knew this wasnt good news.
So after calming down I started looking for a root method but Oneclick Root fail, kingo root fail, King root actually root the phone but after a restart the root acces was gone, I keep looking for a permanent root method but found none, Instead I found some tutorials showing how to make the Kingroot acces permanent but they used their custom recovery to flash an img that do this AAAAND I didnt had nothing.
Then I found this tutorial http://www.xda-developers.com/lg-g3-locked-bootloader-bump-xdatv/ it shows how to flash the TWRP recovery, using flashify and a custom TWRP img for each LG G3 models, the only requirement was HAVE ROOT ACCES.
I had root acces but temporarily and the tutorial didnt mention anything about Marshmallow, sooooo at my own risk I flashed the recovery img with flashify, the app ask me to reboot, I cross my fingers and VUALA! I got a beutiful error message saying "BOOT VERIFICATION FAILED" spiced with blue and red ligths blinking, I grabbed a cigarrete and went outside and thik how to use my new paperweight.
Buut! I took the battery out and turn the phone on and it still boots, but the recovery was ruined, I kept trying flashing the recovery without succes. I was losing hoppe at that moment and as a last resort I thought in downgrading the phone but everywhere I looked at was a warning message saying "Only for D855" "Only for D855" Do not try to downgrade from MM on other models, I saw others used Lollipop AUTOREC on Marshmallow and briked the phone.
I was a horrible view, but after hours looking for the solution I took the risk of downgrading using Lg Flash tool and an old kit kat TOT for the D850 I had. And now I will explain what I did step by step.
First of all you will need:
LG flash tool 1.8.6.527: http://download833.mediafire.com/vyey6xwovvpg/dp93tvcbf4kqvup/LGFlashTool_1.8.6.527.rar
LG D850 STOCK KIT KAT: http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda%2FLG+G3%2FStock%2FAT%26T+D850%2F
LGUP8974.DLL: (Say thank you to him)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63266194&postcount=84
Now fallow this tutorial using the DLL and TOT we downloaded : http://www.androidrootz.com/2014/07/how-to-unroot-lg-g3-all-variants.html
Now you have Kit Kat, and from here you can use kingroot to root the phone and now we can finally intall TWRP using the bump tutorial, this time will work perfectly:

I know this thread is about downgrading but how do you update from 5.0 to 6.0 ?..I'm using an unlocked d850 outside the US .

The same way.. But there is no firmware file due to it being tot only. Only way sadly is to OTA update with an AT&T prepaid or H2O sim card in the device.

I was confused about that D855 line too. Were you able to downgrade your D855 from Marshmallow to KitKat?

Yes. It went without a hitch. Downgraded, rooted, flashed TWRP, and resurrection remix.

Ah, good to hear. I just realized I had a typo in my first comment. You were running a D850, right?
