For those of you who had no issue in rooting and installing TWRP; but then, in trying to debloat the system, managed to soft brick your MetroPCS MP450N Stylo 3 Plus: This guide is for you, it should work for other carriers, but I can't test that.
I spent hours in the attempt to fix this problem. After combing many posts,
HERE IS THE SOLUTION:
Download KDZ file for MP450N (Currently MP45010c_00_0821.kdz) from:
https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-mp450-firmwares/
Download UPPERCUT and LGUP from this post:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g5/development/uppercut-lgup-loader-g5-variants-t3511295
Thanks to @autoprime
Install LGUP first, it provides functionality for UPPERCUT.
Make Sure Phone is Powered OFF. Holding Volume Up, Plug phone into Computer Via USB, it will boot into Download mode.
Extract and Run UPPERCUT
Select your phone in UPPERCUT, Set Process to UPGRADE (Refubish gave me an error).
UPPERCUT shows file type as BIN file, click on the file path and hit the [...] button to open the file selector and pick the KDZ file you downloaded (Currently MP45010c_00_0821.kdz).
Hit Start and Wait. Took maybe 2-3 Minutes.
Congratz you now have a factory restored phone.
Be more careful next time.
Maybe actually do a TWRP BackUp before deleting system apps.
You now have to start over with Root and TWRP; but hey, that was the easy part wasnt it?
Many Thanks to all members on the forums working to improve our Android experience.
Thanks @messi2050 , @autoprime

Fingerprint records but doesn't work
I restored my phone with this process and am rooted everything else is still stock. After restoring my fingerprint scanner will not unlock my phone or any apps. It does not even try to read my fingerprint. It does however record my fingerprin when setting it up. Any idea what can be the problem?

Were you able to get it to work? I am in the same situation after loading Lineage OS on my phone and reverting back to stock rom after finding so many issues with lineage.
Everything seem to work perfect except the finger print reader, It captures finger prints but then it does not recognize them to unlock the phone.

Hello, sorry if this has already been covered, I've been searching for 2 days straight now (I'm new). So, my V10 froze a couple of days ago and restarted, then it got stuck on the LG screen. It made it to the AT&T logo twice, but then went back to the LG screen. Will not boot into Android.
I have been trying to flash my phone but keep running into issues. There seem to be two (2) programs called LGFlashTool, one of which requires a .kdz file (does not seem to exist for the H900). The other requires a .tot (found it!) and a .dll. I would really like to find this .dll file so I can flash my phone and hopefully get it working again. I'm not even trying to root it, just want to boot it up again without exchanging my phone and loosing all of my photos and videos.
There is also the LGUP program, and multiple articles about how to use it. I installed the LGUP_8994 DLL and the Store_Frame_Ver_1_14_3 version of the program. I then copied the common folder into the appropriate location. When I plug my phone in on download mode and open LGUP, it says "DLL for H90020j is not installed properly. Please install a DLL package (*.msi) for the model".
Can someone please help me find this .dll file or tell me what I am doing wrong here? All of the guides make this sound like my grandma could pull this off.

I am sorry, but proceed no further. You would be at risk for bricking your phone. There is currently no firmware available for H90020j. There is however firmware for H90010f, but you are already on Marshmallow. You will just have to be patient while we try to find a way to root the device.
There is a sticky in the lg v10 General thread for doing a .tot update. You don't need the .dll file to do the .20j update. All you need to do is download lg drivers, change the lg modem mode to com41 , follow the instructions I think there is a video also. The lgup app will take the .tot file and then it'll be flashing in refurbished mode. This will clean wipe your system to stock 6.0 marshmallow
dear all, i have been trying by myself going thru xda to solve the above issue (missing the h900 model dll). history is i messed the build.prop and the v10 att h900 goes into (bootloop?) LG logo and never got up and i tried to hard reset (showed the yes yes screen) and after that been looking at LG logo for many hours now
tried dl-ed LGUP but ended with unknown (shows usb port 41) and searched for a solution (including the common patch): restart after reinstall (dll first then switch), use run as admin in xp and vista compatible mode... without success and looking into LG Flash Tools route -
LG flash tool method i dl-ed 'rootedH900 TOT' and 'rootedsystemh900' file from some private file server (with xp background?) but again, struck at the v10 model dll file to start...
last attempt dl-ed LG Mobile Tools and happy to know that download mode is working still (picked up by LG Mobile Tools on phone model and updates of recovery file) so i dl-ed the 1.89gb file but failed to connect to the phone to begin updates...
dear all senior, i just bought this 2nd hand from somebody happily and ended semi-bricked by my greed to streamline the performance... i seek all senior's kind understanding and help guide me to recover my v10 - many thanks in advance
i had skyped Tungkickk777 and waiting for his add approval... while waiting, please guide me. many thanks again! - v10 newbie
previous root experience - G3, G4
I just got a Flex 2 for cheap. Model H955
First thing I did was update from 5.0.1 to 6.0.1, with LGUP, using a KDZ.
It went well, phone seemed OK. Then I noticed I had some leftover contact from the previous user. I decided to re-flash the same KDZ, using this time the refurbish option, since it seemed to be the cleanest method.
Bad idea. It seems the flash stop at 27% on LGUP, and 18% showing on the phone screen. It goes pretty smoothly up to that point, then nothing seems to happen anymore. As if it was still updating normally, and this step is just a bit long. Except after 45min, nothing had moved.
I stoped (just by exiting LGUP) and restarted. Once again, no problem. Phone detected, no error. But nothing happens after 27%. LGUP is still running, still showing the time elapsed increasing.
I decided to try another KDZ, and that's when I realised you're supposed to use TOT file to refurbish, and not a KDZ ! Except that if you select a KDZ file on update mode, then switch to refurbish, the process start without any warning.
So, now I'd need a TOT file. French or european. And I can't seem to find any ...
Edit : as I keep googling this, I realise that there might not be any TOT file for h955, and I might have bricked my phone.
****.
Please someone tell me there's something to be done ... I didn't even root or did anything special, I just wanted to restore the stock system. What kind of software let starts the process without any warning when the wrong type of file is selected. That's just stupid !
Edit : It seems h955 TOT files just don't exist. My best bet might be to flash h950 tot files, then update with h955 KDZ and hope for the best, though logically it should not work. But since right now I can't even turn the phone off ...
Actually you can get a tot file from kdz. Just download this tool from here then extract the kdz file with it, You will get DLL file and a DZ file, Rename the extention DZ to tot, That's it. Happy flashing...

Thanks a lot !!
As I kept looking into my half-bricked phone, I wondered if this was really the solution. Reading every messages in threads from this forum, I realised that refurbishing with a KDZ should have worked after all !
It might be that my problem is with driver installation after all. My phone is already stuck in DL mode. And when I plug it in after installing the drivers (no matter wich one), it cannot finish the installation for the phone. Error 10 : device could not be started.
I'm wondering if it's necessary to install the driver with a functionning phone before flashing ...
Nonetheless, this post that I had not found might be incredibly heplfull ! I will try it.
If anyone else is willing ot help me, for memory the situation is as follow.
H955 phone, only boot in download mode.
Refurbish using LGUP stops while flashing "system". Exact percentage vary depending on the KDZ I use, but it's always while doing system. There is no error, but the phone screen stops moving, and nothing more happens.
Flash tool 2014 crash while trying to get phone informations.
Drivers for COM port and USB device can be installed fine, but the phone in itself cannot finish the installation due to "code 10, device did not start"
I'm not sure what to do now, so any help is welcome !
And nope, doesn't work :/
"Unsupported KDZ file format"
Aaaand phone is now OK.
In the end, after trying 3 different drivers and flahing tools, what worked was ... the official one.
Went to LG website, downloaded official driver lg support tool. Told LG support tool to repair. It downloaded it's own image, and flashed it alright.
Now running on clean 6.0.1 install, can stop messing with the phone and actually use it.
About time that means that the Stylo 3 Plus is knocking on our door step @ our local retail MetroPCS Stores and i will be going to purchase soon as its released.

Where did you find the stock MS55010R.kdz ? i can't seem to find that anywhere. also where do you find the .dll for the lgup tool?
There's no need to do it the way op did. Download LG Bridge from LG's official site, power up phone into bootloader, flash stock.

They didn't when I reflashed mine. I just did a fresh flash of 6.0, and waited for the update to kick in.
Can you post a link to the DLL and KDZ for LGUP please. I'm sure all of us would be greatly appreciative if you did

Ok Time to break out the Laptop for you guys
After you install LGUP on your PC look in your C: Programs Folder if you have a 64 bit PC you will look in your C: Programs x86 Folder for LG Electronics Folder open it there you will see the LGUP Folder open it until you find the Model Folder there you will place the Common Folder i provided you with in this setup. Now your PC should recognize your phone but first b4 you start the LGUP Program you need to Power off your phone and hold volume up and plug your phone in thus will put your phone into Download Mode. Now you can Start the LGUP Program.
I supplied the .zip with these Installation instructions also
Where you will find the 10r firmware

If anyone can please save the nougat update and put it on your desktop or something before actually applying it so that we can all have nougat instead of waiting for metro to push it? I have tried these steps for the past few days with no avail, and I think it has to do with with the staggering of updates so their server doesn't overload pushing it out to everyone. That would be greatly appreciated
Does this work on 7.0?
As of right now, I just installed Supersu and got root again and am currently setting my phone back up and the 7.0 update appeared. Can I just install the 7.0 update and still have Root or no? If not please let me know what I have to do to keep root. Thank you
you have to be unrooted to take the update

You have to be completely stock and take the 7.0 update, then afterwards you can re-root with ease.

Hello brother . I am a Vietnamese using lg stylo 2 plus home network metro pcs. But I can not use metro pcs in Vietnam. I hope you help unlock the machine to use as international version. thanks so much. : O: O: O: O: O: O: O: O
Look on your phone under a set of Metro PCS apps. There should be one with a key on it called unlock or something like that. Open it up and go through the steps and see if it's allowed to be unlocked by Metro. If that doesn't work then I would try calling Metro and ask them to unlock it. Tell them you're going to Vietnam for a month and need to use your phone. Good luck brother

Hey everyone!
So, just upgraded from my Note Edge to a Stylo 3. I'm going through my usual ritual of boot, root, remove useless apps, Xprivacy, migrate data, move SIM card, a process that's getting progressively more annoying but I do want to thank everyone who makes the tools used to make this happen.
Anyway, I got to a point where I must've frozen an app I shouldn't have or something; ironically Jrummy's App Manager wouldn't work thereafter...nor would 'Messages' or a few others. I disabled Xprivacy, used Titanium Backup to defrost every app I'd frozen, disabled AFWall+...and still, things weren't happy. "Okay, let's just factory reset it and start over!", I said to myself. And, I did so. Now, one of the apps I froze was "EULA"...which is a requirement for the initial phone setup, thus preventing me from completing the initial setup wizard. "Okay then, let's just wipe and reload". I found the T-Mobile KDZ file from one of the dozen sites I've been to in my quest, and the LG Flash Tool. It wasn't until I tried using LGFT that I gained a true appreciation for Samsung's Odin, because the 2014 version doesn't seem to want to talk to my phone, giving me the "can't find server" error, and unlike the instructions I was following, the screen didn't indicate that the file was actually moving. The 2015 and 2016 versions of the tool both seem to want a DLL file, which is nowhere to be found.
Now, the saving grace is that I do still have access to TWRP, so if there's some variant of "chmod 777 -R" I can run on a directory somewhere to make sure EULA.apk and its friends are all defrosted, and that's possible from TWRP, then I'd super appreciate a tutorial on how to do that. Alternatively, if someone knows how to get LG Flash Tool to actually shuffle the bits out the USB port, I'm open to that as well.
Thanks for reading. I appreciate your consideration and assistance.

[SOLVED]
Yep! I managed to poke and prod a bit more, and solved my issue. For the other folks around these parts, the key is this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g5/development/uppercut-lgup-loader-g5-variants-t3511295
I used Uppercut, as directed, in 'Upgrade' mode. I used the KDZ file downloaded from here:
https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-tp450tn-firmwares/
I opted for TP45010c_00_0821.kdz, because I didn't want to run the risk of upgrading the bootloader and preventing myself from rooting.
Once I used Uppercut, it wiped everything, and I was able to restart the process again.
I hope it helps someone!

First thing always when you get a custom recovery is to make a backup right away that way if things get messy you can recover, most phones and even this phone a guy has a flashable zip for TWRP, Uppercut works too but it's very easy to mess things up and you think it's not working because you did something wrong but as the guy above mentioned uppercut is what you will use, if that does not work for what ever reason then you have something else going on, driver's or something. If you can boot into the phone at all, then plug it in and tell it to reboot to bootloader that way you can flash it using uppercut, if you have access to twrp you can try that zip file
After unsuccessfully attempting to root my device, I was left with an unbootable phone.
I have tried everything to get my phone back working, with no success and I am losing hope.
I've used both LGUP (with 4 different firmwares, all NAO_US) and LG Bridge, all reporting success at the end, however my phone still does not get past the initial boot screen.
If I reboot it, it will show "Erasing.." and reboot right back to the LG boot screen, and proceed no further than that.
The only thing I can think of is because my phone is OPEN_US, and won't boot using NAO_US.
NAO_US is the only KDZ file that will work with my phone, every other KDZ I've tried just throws an error like "error (OPEN_US->AMZ_US).
I have turned Google inside out, as well as almost every LG firmware website, and have downloaded at least 40GB worth of KDZ files, but I cannot find
OPEN_US KDZ anywhere. I'm not sure if flashing OPEN_US will even work (though, why wouldn't it?), so I may be searching for something that is useless to me.
My LG G8 is Factory Unlocked, purchased from Best Buy - and it seems like nobody else on the planet has this variant. If someone has an OPEN_US KDZ file, I would be extremely
greatful if you could please link it to me. Otherwise, my LG G8 is now a glorified paperweight.
UPDATE:
Fixed!
I was able to locate an OPEN_US KDZ and flash my phone with it. Turned out I had overwritten the wrong partition in QIFL when trying to unlock the bootloader. I had to extract the firmware and manually reflash this file, but afterwards, my phone was successfully booting.

OPEN_US KDZ anywhere. I'm not sure if flashing OPEN_US will even work (though, why wouldn't it?), so I may be searching for something that is useless to me.
My LG G8 is Factory Unlocked, purchased from Best Buy - and it seems like nobody else on the planet has this variant. If someone has an OPEN_US KDZ file, I would be extremely
greatful if you could please link it to me. Otherwise, my LG G8 is now a glorified paperweight.
UPDATE:
Fixed!
I was able to locate an OPEN_US KDZ and flash my phone with it. Turned out I had overwritten the wrong partition in QIFL when trying to unlock the bootloader. I had to extract the firmware and manually reflash this file, but afterwards, my phone was successfully booting.
