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

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.
Theres Too Many Roots for Tmobil and Boost and Metro now lets give some Time for Cricket
WE NEED SOMEONE TO MAKE A ROOT FOR LG stylo v5.1 LP CRICKET
PLEASE
:fingers-crossed:h
I got mine rooted, now we need someone to make a custom recovery & maybe a bootloader unlock also.
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

I have a Boost Mobile LG G Stylo running Android 5.0.2 with software version ls770zv3. I originally rooted this device but wanted official Android update so I cleared root using clean up option in SU and after I did factory restore then installed root checker to verify it was no longer rooted which it isn't, but now some apps won't install, they get to the install point after downloading and just sits there then eventually closes playstore and restarts and gives me the install option again, also I get the dead Android when trying to update, things randomly close now and its just a pos all together. I can't find anything on this. Please help.
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.

Root metro lg stylo 6.0 ?
I have a metro lg stylo ms631 10j. 6.0
My goal is to root this phone, im under the impression i need to flash my phone to 5.1 then root it . but i cant find the proper steps its like there explaining everyother way unless u already have 5.1 stylo but mines is 6.0 what do i do?
I removed root to get the update for Marshmallow before I realized I wouldn't be able to redo it once the upgrade completed.
Kingroot works partially (Titanium and AFWall don't like it) but it is lost on each restart and prevents me from enabling the hotspot.
I've located a kdz and tried to downgrade with LG Flash Tool 2014 but it keeps stopping with an error.
Tried to use LGUP but it detects the phone with model unknown and can't continue.
As much as I like MM, I need my root access back.
Even followed the directions to restore factory image...but it put me back to MM.
I'm also interested in the available options
