I rooted my stylo last month and shortly after I flashed a twrp recovery in which I thought it was for my ls770. Well after I did that I got that error 1003 thing when I try to boot into recovery. So I now can't boot into recovery So I found a factory recovery file and flashed it also and I still can't boot into recovery. Can someone help please and thanks..
What version of Android? I did the same thing and luckily I had backed up a recovery with Flashify. I can see if I still have the backup. The recovery was for 5.1.1 ZV5
The one I found I think was for 5.0 but I'm on 5.1.1. That would be great @mabry

Do you have the stock recovery or what cause I need it asap
My bad bro. When I updated to Marshmallow I formatted my external SD in hope of the new storage feature. I lost it. I am sure 6th Hokage, or Dominick might have one laying around. They the main devs on the Boost Stylo.
did you ever get the stock recovery, I have the same problem...

Add me to the list. I can't get anything but secure boot error 1003.
Me too..
Add me as well....
Rooted and went to install twrp..secure boot error 1003.
Anybody get any news on this?
The TWRP that is available out there right now with all the tutorials isnt for our devices (LS770). Theres not much going on with our devices because of the locked bootloader that lg seems to know nothing about; let alone any support for this devices alongside marshmallow. My goal is to port TWRP to our phones and find a backdoor in but im caught up in a bunch of different projects right now and juggling it with work. Plus ive gotta learn how to build these things. If anybody could tell me anything about our phone that i cant figure out thatd be wonderful. Ill try to get the recovery image posted on my drive when i go on my computer next.
Lg lls770
So I've read even just using King root it will lock up your phone, i had done that with my other lg ls770 and tried installing the twrp recovery. Any ideas if i will run into the same problem just using King root? And how would i go about making a back up of my stock recovery?
The ls770 has a locked bootloader. You can't just put any twrp recovery on it. You may be able to use kingroot temp, but I bricked twice using it, and can't offer any advice. If you have read enough of the ls770 brick stories including mine, you'll see there is no real pattern to bricking with kingroot. I successfully used it and restarted and re temp rooted for days, changing build.prop uninstalling google apps, then WHAM, brick out of thin air. Some were bricking straight away after kingroot with only restarting. If you do use kingroot to temp root I hope you'll report back and tell us how it is going, Thanks
So any idea if checking the oem unlock box in developer options and then going to fastboot/download mode would unlock the bootloader? I'm not very advanced with tinkering with android but i can go about the basics i guess

The oem unlock will not unlock the bootloader.The bootloader is locked by Boost/sprint/virgin. It's probably not going to be unlocked. The only LG's I know that have unlocked bootloader are Tmobile/metropcs. I hope kingroot gets this worked out as we know they have no future without being able to root phones. I made a post on the kingroot page here at XDA asking about what they might do now with marshmallow. I haven't heard from the main @Kingxteam but I keep hearing they are working on it

I'm kind of new to the whole rooting thing. However, I managed to root the Unlock the bootloader, install the recovery and then root it. However when I tried to install a ROM the phone when off after I had wiped the old OS. So at the moment I am stuck in limbo, all the phone does is flash, any ideas? Thanks.

You might want to post in the emergency thread for this.
Someone will chime in I am sure. From what little I know, I would try using the RUU (ROM update utility) to restore the phone.
Before you do that, wait a little while and maybe someone else will post with some other method. The RUU will hopefully restore your phone to stock.
I'm trying to do that now buy it just wont boot up so I can't run the program
Unlocked with sunshine, going to install twrp.
What will twrp change? will it change the 4.4.4 that Im on? I want to keep that. I simply want root, thats it, everything else is fine. Ive read all I need to do is install twrp and than flaah superSU. Is that correct? Root junky came up on a google and his site has
twrp-2.6.3.1-Obake-4.4.img
I found this twrp here at xda
openrecovery-twrp-2.8.4.0-obake.img
Someone please educate me on the different options
Thanks

Either twrp should work fine personally I would go with the latest version from XDA. Second no it will not change your operating system it just changes your recovery on the phone so you can flash Roms seamlessly. But once installed and in twrp the first thing it will ask is if you want to root system just Swype the bar and it will root if that's all you want then just reboot phone after that and your done.
Thanks, one more question, regarding superSU, do I need that after installing TWRP? I'm sure it's on my moto x that I rooted a couple years ago with slap my moto, been a couple years since I used the ADB on the pc but I'm sure I won't have a problem with this, just don't understand everything yet LOL
Thanks again.

Yes you will if it's not there automatically after twrp then just download the app from the play store and update binaries if needed via normal method
Hi all! Been a very busy year, the mini is still new and on 4.4.4 and 4.21, screen of the system http://s8.postimg.org/xkndt6ubp/Screenshot_2016_04_04_23_57_49.png
I unlocked it last year with sunshine, just never had the chance to install TWRP, its my moms phone and it hasnt moved in a year and a half, she has been happy with her razrM, until now. So going to install a custom rom for the first time.. can someone point me to the page where I can download TWRP and anything I need to attemp my very first install, thank you!!
Im getting a dead end, this is all I get. If anyone has an idea what I am doing wrong I would appreciate help. Thanks

Answered your new thread, but if you're trying to reboot to recovery, you should try:
fastboot reboot recovery
Since you're at the bootloader, you can also use the [VOL] buttons to select "Recovery" and go from there too.
ok, thanks, my first time trying to install TWRP, I didnt know had to boot recovery, i just did what I read the thread here on how to install it. What does TWRP look like? All I get is boot up that looks normal and nothing indicating a change has even occurred. If I boot recovery will TWRP boot?
I called my mom and asked her to hold the power and down volume buttons in and see what happens... she figured it out. she snapped this picture of it and asked me what to do now... I told her I didn't know, I thought the first thing TWRP asked upon boot was if you wanted to root?
I have successfully unlocked and am using the G930VL and installed the official verizon version rom to get rid of anything straighttalk related and it has been working great!
But....i want to install custom roms in order to do that i need CWM or TWRP. I cannot seem to get either one to install because of a "Secure check fail: recovery" message. Any suggestions?
also does anyone have a good link here on XDA for G930V/G930VL rom's?
I am rooted so this should be possible somehow what am i missing?

Is there any roms that will work? I have found things like King rom but that's for the edge. Even so...how would i install it without TWRP? Would i have functionality issues with G930VL? I haven't had to install from ADB in a long time but if someone guides me i'd still be willing. The reason why this is an issue is i can't get out of the security messages that happen in the OS. Every time i boot it keeps saying i have to reboot because it finds a problem (due to it being rooted)....1 time my phone wouldn't even boot up which is when i installed the official verizon OS and wipped everything straighttalk except the bootloader(for obvious reasons i'm not touching that!).

You'll have to ask the folks in that thread, i don't have any answers for you except that thread that i looked over before.
With Qualcomm Snapdragon's security feature DM-Verify, it is extremely unlikely. Even if you took the stock image from Verizon and did nothing more than deodex it, dm-verify will not allow the ROM to boot (from what I've read). There are other security features that prevent the Bootloader form being messed with.
Root was a dream come true. An unlockable bootloader (while a developer version does exist) is a more unachievable dream.

"I have successfully unlocked" what type of unlock are you speaking of?
I thought everything was fixable with flashtool as long as the bootloader is unlocked.. never been so wrong in my life.
Bought a used xperia z3 6166 t mobile version without knowing its support for custom roms (smh).. steps i did:
1)installed recovery.
2) rooted the device
3) unlocked the bootloader (successfully)
4) i thought i was ready to install custom roms like niaboc79's existenz which consequently I did, the phone did boot after that but was connecting in fastboot and flashboot so
5)using flashtool flash stock latest d6616 firmware and was back to step 1.
read somewhere that I could flash d6603 firmware because both phones have same specs so
6)flash d6603 firmware in order to get existenz working
7)flashtool gave some errors and failed
8)used fastboot to flash kernel
the device stops responding all of a sudden..
9) kept on charge for hours, still got nothing , no vibration, no lights , no hard rest via combination of buttons , nothing by pressing the yellow button inside the flap..
10) pc shows usb not recongnized after a couple of seconds of connecting ..
its been beyond frustrating going through the internet, scrolling through threads after thread but no avail.. people say at least the phone should be recognized by pc in any form other than usb not recongnized .. so I went to a local smartphone repair shop and gave it to him but he isnt too hopeful either.. I already have xperia z1c which i messed with so many times but it always responds to the flashtool.. but buying xperia z3 is literally the worst smartphone experience of my life!
is there any way to make this dead brick work again.. any unorthodox means to rewrite boot to make it jump start? any help is appreciated!

My sincerest apologize for your misfortune. I have not yet encountered this degree of issues. I am going to keep my bootloader locked I do believe. Just got this phone myself and I really wish I could help you. The TMO version of this phone is definitely the worst one I think given the lack of software support.
However I was wondering what method you followed to install recovery and if you attempted to install exposed.

used the XZdualrecovery zip for locked bootloader.. it was fairly simple , did it twice without any problems! then used recovery to install superuser and update it binaries and the phone was rooted.. I didnt installed xposed because i want to upgrade from lollipop.. that I couldnt do! :crying:
May this thread be a warning to people who themselves arent developers but have a little knowledge about custom roms to do their homework before diving into things they cant get out of..

I will second the f*** out of this, but I will also add that recovery TYPICALLY protects you from a ton of heartache. Not this time huh? Well, I cannot get Kingroot off my frickin' phone. I think it may have been commandeered by China. The uninstall always fails. So I may be in the same boat as you. Not sure if I can install recovery with it on there or not, but I do know it and SuperSU do not play nicely. I am debating which would be more risky, factory resetting a rooted phone to get rid of kingroot, or attempting to install recovery with this scary AF root manager. What a pain in the ass.
So this is the procedure you followed?

No thats the rooting method.. I just simply flashed the recovery from http://nut.xperia-files.com/path/XZDualRecovery/XZDualRecovery_2.8.26 and just installed superuser and updated the binaries..
I did also have a problem with kingroot.. you can download the official ftf firmware for d6616 and just flash it in flashboot through flashtool.. its the only way to get rid of kingroot in my experience .. but I would give you caution to flash nothing else except official firmware through flashtool.. and do it only if you know how to handle it.. as far my experience is concerned, I did get rid of the kingroot this way not once but twice without problem .. its the stuff that followed bricked the phone.. also my bootloader was unlockable so it might have made a difference..maybe

Well I guess I'll be doing that then. Thanks. So how do you flash that file without a recovery?
I do not know how to handle flash tool since I have only heard of it and never used it. It appears I'll be using it to get rid of kingroot. How does one learn how to handle it so's one doesn't go and mess anything up?
My bootloader is also unlockable but I don't wanna screw with all the things that unlocking it does to the phone so I'm leaving it alone. I like those features
Also did you ever try to remove bloat on the stock ROM? Everything I remove via titanium backup just reinstalls immediately after removal.
Sorry for all the questions instead of answers for you. You are one of the few still messing with this device and I appreciate all your help very much. All of the info on this forum is mostly applicable to when the phone came out. This means almost all of it only applies to android 4.4 or it doesn't apply to the T-Mobile variant b/c T-Mobile was less popular when this phone was a flagship and uses Wifi text/calling which requires special planning. That and the fact that the threads are several hundred pages long makes following along impossible and makes this site all but useless for these phones now.
It seems everywhere I go there is no root for this phone (sm-J337a) it's an at&t phone. I used kingoroot, kingroot and basically any root out there. nothing has worked. So this seems that it has no root made for it yet? is there any possibility for someone to do this? Sorry, I'm not too good at rooting as a whole. But I've used Odin and things like that before.
there doesn't even seem to be CWM or TWRP for this phone either.
it's running Android 8.0 and was made in 2018.
Right?
I'm having the same issue. I can't figure out how to root mine either and I've got the same phone and carrier.

Hi all.. I know this thread is a little old but thought id add this.. As of this date Ive found no ROOT solution for the SM-J337A - AT&T variant either.. I have found a lot of other software and such and as soon as I can get it all sorted, cataloged, and uploaded to the cloud I will see about placing some links here somewhere to all of them.. Not sure how long it will be..Stay tuned...
I happen to inherit a J337A with a cracked screen but was working fine until I updated it and tryed ROOTing it.. Im still Playing with it to see if I can revive it.
Having issues finding a UB compatible Firmware set that I dont have to pay for.
Am needing "J337AUCSBBTI1" or maybe "J337AUCSABTE1" to see if I can bring it back to life.. I may end up pitching it tho...

Instead of sending a patched magisk file would you mind sending over the method you used to root? If you did what I think you did I'm very confused. The phone is OEM locked although this hasn't stopped others from accessing root before. If you can confirm you have the phone we have, the SM-J337A ATT then you can pull out the boot and recovery images using a root app. Then I could develop a working TWRP for our device. But ofc this is only possible if you explain how you went about rooting the device. Thanks in advance.

I have both SM-J337P/A and it works the same on both. I'm not sure why you wouldn't be able to be oem unlocked? You mean greyed out? Or does it not show up at all or what? If I go into developer options I have the oem unlock option, which then allows me to unlock the bootloader. If yours is greyed out I saw a solution on XDA a long time ago, maybe a year ago. I'd have to look for it in my files, I know I saved it somewhere. Let me know what you meant by that and we can go from there

I do not have the option to OEM Unlock the phone period. It is not in my developer options unfortunately. If you do find something of that nature please do contact me. Also if you would like a TWRP for your device I'd be up to developing it, although I wouldn't be able to maintain bugs... All I need is the kernel and I can get it done.
Any updates on this?
