Hi. I was given a Cricket LG G Stylo to play around with. Previously I have messed around with my HTC Sensation where I which I unlocked the bootloader, did s-off, flashed a custom recovery, and permanent rooted. Can I do all of that with the Cricket version of the LG G Stylo? Most of the threads I've read only talk about rooting the Cricket Stylo but nothing else.
So basically:
1) would I be able to unlock the phone to be use with other carriers? If so, do I do that first or last? And where can I find this info?
2) How can the bootloader be unlocked?
3) If s-off doable on this phone or is that only for HTC phones?
4) How can the stock recovery and ROM be backed up?
5) Are there any working custom recoveries for the Cricket version?
Thanks

Just trying to find out if there are others out there that bought the Boost Mobile Moto G if you are able to unlock your bootloader through the Motorola site? If you did this, did you also root it afterwards and what method you used to root. Thanks!
Cheers.
From my research it seems as if this phone can't be rooted because you cannot unlock the bootloader.
Has anyone tried "Poot to Root" on the Verizon Prepaid Moto G? I don't need an Unlocked Bootloader, just Root access.
I rooted my Kyocera Event (with a locked bootloader) in less than a minute using Poot. From what I have read, Poot to Root is made for Qualcomm phones, and the Moto G is Qualcomm.
So, has anyone tried this yet? Does it work?
Right now this is the only working method to unlock the bootloader.
It costs money, and there's no other known way to root the Verizon Moto G
Just rooted the h81010o. Ive got xposed and the root cloak method doesnt work nor disabling su. Im not gonna flash back to stock just for android pay i just like making everything work. And as far as the bootloader unlock. I seen that the only version capable is the h815 int.. can it only be unlocked by lg or can a dev. Find a way? Last thing, custom recovery. Can be done with tmobile variant but is there a way for the att h810 to have a custom recovery without the bootloader unlocked or is that necessary?
I've been combing through various threads and haven't really found anything specific to the LG Stylo 2. However have found a root and TWRP guide for LG Stylo 2 Plus

It seems the first thing we need to figure out is how to get the phone into fastboot and oem-unlock. Seems there are guides for the Stylo 2 plus, however the same instructions don't work for the Stylo 2.
Seems there should not be too much difference between these phones to unlock bootloader and get TWRP on here.
Anyone have any input?

you cannot root any lg phones, marshmallow and up, unless they are t-mobile or metropcs. The reason is tmobile and metropcs got LG to allow their bootloader to be unlocked. This is the prerequisite for changing kernel permissions. Sorry
Is there a method to enable fastboot on non tmobile & metropcs devices
Is there anyway that fastboot can somehow be enabled on non tmobile & metropcs devices so they actually boot into fastboot with adb reboot bootloader or some other command
Hi guys
I have a MetroPCS LG Stylo 3 Plus.
Is there a way to Unlock this phone without paying any doubtful website?
Thank you
There should be an app already installed on your phone that allows you do unlock it. You must have used the phone for 3 months before you can unlock it. At least this was the case on my Metro PCS LG Stylo 2. I know you said you have the 3, but just saying. Look in your Metro Apps ?
I rooted before unlocking and I also installed custom ROM lineage which did not come with the stock device unlock apk installed. I tried to install from multiple locations. I assume I have no choice but to revert back to stock and lose root. Damn I'm tryna be lazy.. Is there a semi quicker fix
