Hi
This is short guide on how to install latest available Firmwares on a rooted lg stylo 2 plus ms550 [Note: this will remove root and twrp from your device and you will need to re apply the steps in my twrp thread to flash twrp and get the root back]
Steps:
1- download the latest kdz from here
https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-ms550-firmwares/
2- download lg up 1.14 from here
http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/Flash_Tools/LGUP/LGUP_Store_Frame_Ver_1_14_3.msi
3- install lg up, open it and choose the upgrade option
4- choose the downloaded kdz and press start
5- wait for the phone till it reboot to the download mode, install the new firmware and after the flash is done your device will automatically reboot back to the system.
enjoy
Awesome appreciate your work!!!

I want to first thank Messie2050 for all his work on this. I know I'm making a mistake when I'm attempting to root this phone but I don't know what exactly I'm doing. I follow each step to a T. When I get to opening the command prompt and type in fastboot etc, windows says it doesn't recognize the command "fastboot" and to make sure I typed in correctly. I also tried on my netbook which is running Linux. It's slightly easier however it just waits on the device. I don't know how to extract the twrp file on a Linux machine. Can anyone help? I've tried everything to root this phone!
I am getting a msg that says invalid kdz....
Yeah, still not sure whether to use MTK or MTP.
My LG UP said LGUP can't load the model (C:/Program Files (*86)/LG Electronics/LGUP/model/com
This Method Is For Rooting Lyf Water 7 i.e LS-5504 running 6.0 android
Proceed At Your Own Risk I m Not Responsible For Any Damage To your Phone
To Begin Root Process First DOWNLOAD THESE FILES-
1. TWRP(working ported by me) Zippyshare Link
Mirror Mediafire link
2. Minimal ADB & Fasboot Tool for Android https://devsjournal.com/download-minimal-adb-fastboot-tool.html
3. Sp flash tool https://spflashtool.com/
4. Scatter files for our device https://www.mediafire.com/file/qy2be6cxv7e0j9r/MT6753~1.TXT/file Mirror - Zippyshare link
5. supersu zip Click here (this is property of chainfire all credits belong to them)
NOTE - Backup your contacts, messages and data in sd card or pc as it will be gone
Now follow instructions-
1. Install minimal ADB & Fastboot ( i prefer u install it in C:\ drive) Open the file named cmd. This will open a command prompt
2. Power off phone. Once it is off click volume up and power button together ,now screen will show a smalll menu/boot menu. Press volume up to move arrow to fastboot mode and select it by pressing volume down button. You will enter fastboot mode now.
3. Connect phone to pc using data cable. Come back to command prompt. Type this command.
PHP:
fastboot devices
it will show your device like 5DSOYL.. something like that
now type another command
PHP:
fastboot oem unlock
Now check your phone it will ask about unlocking bootloader press volume up key to agree
this will delete all data
after this type
PHP:
fastboot reboot
your bootloader is unlocked now
4. Keep device connected. once phone reboots, open Sp flash tool. select the scatter file (downloaded above) then on recovery tab select the recovery.img (download above). Click the download button and then power off your phone.
Twrp will be flashed, You can access it by Pressing volume up and power button together and selecting recovery in boot mode (where we selected fastboot mode)
5. To gain root just flash su zip through Twrp so simple
In case recovery don't get flashed there may be problem in sp flash tool drivers .. plz google how to install them
Still working in 2019, files updated to latest version and dead links replaced :good:

Hello folks. Answering the questions above there is no custom rom for lyf water 7s. lyf water 7s don't has any sort of development on xda. I would advice not to mess around more then rooting because if you phone got hard brick (when it's stuck on logo) it won't be possible for you to flash it as sp flash tool will not recognize your device. Just get a new device.

true, but it is possible to port a rom for it, just that the procedure is difficult, since not many people use this device there is no development on this i guess..
i tried to port a rom... but i failed, i guess i did not unlock the BL... no idea.. it didn't go well..
so i tried looking for old os found link on thread here still didn';t work i have f1f latest offical stock can't flash magictrick as it is outdated :crying::crying::crying::crying: help
Which one do you want? The first full zip provided on the now closed OPPO forums?
Deleted
Download this https://mega.nz/#!MlAUkTwT!uZbcwSRvbkOJKF2jMkzxukqEVp3_SNG_QcdHYnpyDMw
Copy it on the root of internal memory, format data, install the zip and try magictricks again, it might work. Not tested.
wrong one
It don't have to be the old os just Any way to. Root the 5.1.1 would be great also if there is any magictrick for the latest official stock or the old one case i got the wrong one
it is the same that i tried and not working
The probability older version of ColorOS is in the Qualcomm factory reset or recovery tool. As it makes a reset of almost everything, I guess magictricks would work again.
Trying
same i am bulling my hair right now dose some one have way to root it without all the fuss
Explain what you tried, this would help others and help us help you to find alternatives.
Factory reset magic tricks os that you gave link apps kingo root king root root 360 all of these
Os F1fex 11 171125
I've been trying also to install magictricks on my friends oppo f1s running Android 5.1 Version: A160EX_11_A.33_170814
Installation fails everytime.
Can anyone help?
Note: Seems that when I enable OEM unlock and reboot to stock recovery & try magictricks. After it fials and I reboot
back to developer options OEM unlock is off.
Tried flashing Specified_ColorOS_F1EX_full_010.zip in stock recovery and that fails too.
can you guys help me in installing twrp
note: CMD mode says failed: devices unlock..why? I have installed a megictrick
When i get into recovery mode and install the magictricks.zip, i get a error "installed version is lower than current". Why is this?
Also my Volume-up + power button doesnt get me to fastboot mode, note that i have installed adb drivers, tried with adb..it doesnt work.
Android version 5.1.1
Build:F1fex_11_171125
Anyone unable to unlock BL on lateest/newer firmware , heres's solutions which i sucessfully unlocked mine.
Things needed :
1. Stock Firmware (MSMDownloadtool files)

3. Twrp (downlkad from twrp.me) choose whatever version you need, i suggested to use the latest one.
4. Root (optional choose whatever you want supersu or magisk, i've sucessfully rooted mine with magisk.
Download latest Firmware (MSMDownloadtool files) you can seaech and find it , to get think easier i suggested you download it from here
https://www.firmware27.com/2016/09/firmware-tool-oppo-f1-for-unbrick.html?m=1 use the 06322 Build.
Once you've download it extract the zip files, now download the Magictricks.zip extract the .mbn files into the same folder you've extracted the firmware files before, replace the .mbn files with that .mbn files from magictricks.zip, open Msmdownloade inside and flash it (enter the download mode vol + vol - hold togather while you put the usb into computer, wait till all flash process done, and turn it on to makesure everythings goes well.
Hold the vol+ and power togather to entering fastboot, from this state you guys really know how to doing next... Fastboot oem unlock , and now flash the TWRP and ROOT your device, hit thanks if i helped
#edit, i saw the NV error messages jusylt ignore it dunno how and why that means

There's many problem with your solution.
1. After i extracted the firmware, there's no "Msmdownloade" File.
2. There's no download mode in Oppo f1f. I've tried pressing vol up and down and power, nothing happened, i've tried pressing vol up and down while put the usb to computer, nothing hppened.

1. It shojld be inside the extracted folder, choose the correct build as i mention it.
2. Download mode (its EDL) triggered using the methodes above. Make sure you've installed qcom driver take a look at device manager on your pc make it sure its detected as Qhsusb...9008
First of all the guide i took it from @Vedrick by searching here in XDA. I just opened this post because i found his guide with a little bit hardness and its easier now for ya.
Well lets start. FIRST Back up all your data.
I was on the latest version of CLT-L29 Huawei p20 pro 6/128 9.0.0.195(C432E5R1P9) if you try it on another version let me know
As always, if you do this it's at your own risk.
PREREQUIREMENTS:
Watch my video on youtube that made to help you guys
1) ADB, Fastboot and Drivers
2)Patched boot image
3) A pc of course.
4) Make sure your phone is not bootloop and working
5)Enable Debugging and OEM unlocking from dev options
This is how i got root on EMUI 9 without TWRP recovery
1 - I Flashed Get your phone on fastboot mode FIRST MAKE SURE YOUR PHONE HAS UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER (download it, and move it on your adb folder-default is on C: drive) (press SHIFT button and right click on the adb folder->select open here PowerShell) type the command fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk patched_boot.img
2-Reboot phone, install Magisk manager last apk from google , go into settings, and change the update channel to custom: )COPY AND PASTE THIS LINKhttps://raw.githubusercontent.com/topjohnwu/magisk_files/master/canary_builds/release.json, go back to the Magisk home screen and hit install, download the odd Magisk file.zip file.
3-Reboot phone, press and hold the volume up key if it goes to ERecovery then reboot again and keep pressing like the video.
4-Open Magisk app, install the zip, then patch, and install the downloaded Magisk.zip file if it says direct install(recommender choose this should say this)
5-Reboot phone, press and hold the volume up key and your phone should boot just fine.(like i said above and like i show the video)
6-Open Magisk, install, select direct install option. and reboot.
Note:
1 - Now your phone will reboot into the recovery every time on its own, which is a good thing, you no longer need to hold the volume up key every time you reboot, it does it for you. This means no TWRP.
2 - In order to apps root access for the first time you need to have Magisk open, or you wont get prompted for approval. Then the app will have permanent root access.
3- You can enter fastboot mode from connecting your phone to pc and open adb as i say above and type adb reboot bootloader OR by turn off your phone, press the down button volume and after 3 secs connect the cable on your pc DONT LEAVE THE DOWN BUTTON
Usefull Commands: If you cannot enter bootloader mode ( IS NEEDED ) type this command on the adb , but first connect your phone with your PC/LAPTOP adb reboot bootloader
IF you have any questions fell free to comment bellow. Also i am gonna try some things to flash twrp and have it for ever because @Vedrick i think couldnt flash twrp recovery
Hi,
thanks a lot taking time for this guide but there are 2 things that I think are confusing :
FIRST - Once you have flashed recovery_ramdisk partition with the patched_boot.img file through fastboot , and you reboot holding up volume button, the phone boots. But after installing latest magisk manager, even without changing the update channel adress, phone is already rooted and you can add modules, etc...
SECOND - when following the guide step by step, part 4 is a problem because it finds new version and asks tout update. And when you do, the guide says install then to patch the tout install the downloaded file.
That part ils not clear as you do not tell what file to patch at this state....
If you could clear that part it would be perfect.

ok i did manage to root it again. you need to unlock your bl and press the volume up button. i edited the post
I did first time as just flashing fastboot recovery_ramdisk with patched_boot.img was enough when opening magisk manager.
Updating was the issue. SO i downloaded the original recovery_ramdisk 195 , and used that file to patch with the latest version downloaded. Then I flashed in fastboot the new patched_boot.img and all was good to latest version.

Because with yours i was not on latest magisk. Now i can update each time there's a new version by patching the original recovery_ramdisk and flashing the patched_boot.img on fastboot.

i have the same version as you. the problem is 1) you cant have twrp recovery 2) when you open a app that needs root you have to open magisk app first otherwise the permissions will fail
unfortunately no twrp recovery ...

You are genius. Thanks working great p20 pro 9.0.0.191c605
Every time I flash the patched_boot.img and restart with volume up into recovery I have a bootloop. I have CLT-L09 pie 9.0.0.1.9.5 with the custom link for magisk. The only way to get out of the loop is to reflash the stock recovery_ramdis.img. But after flashing stock recovery, magisk has no root any more...
Any suggestions why I only get the bootloop after reflashing the patched_boot.img?
Thanks a lot!

hello and thank you very much for the detailed guide.
i was ready to do all that, i always unlock and root my devices so i'm savvy just enough to try, or so i thought.
after using asus unlock tool and rebooting, my phone ended up showing the indicated warning message but proceeded in a bootloop which is not generally a great problem, you can always flash partitions with fastboot !
But in my case the phone doesn't get recognised by "fastboot devices" command in bootloader mode nor in fastbootd (yes i have the latest adb & fastboot package installed with the latest platform tools)
so now i've got a very espensive and fancy paper holder.
if any of you encountered the same problem or maybe knows a way to get the device to be recognised by my pc I'll be very happy to donate for your trouble.
i already downloaded the latest firmware and extracted it with payload_dumper.py.
thank you very much to any of you who will take time to look into my issue.
also may i suggest adding a step to your guide ?
before flashing boot.img it might be a good idea to try it first using
Code:
Fastboot boot boot.img
i've had problems in the past with some bad patched boot.img images and this may be a way to avoid problems.
sorry if this sound patronising. just wanted to help

I'm sorry i don't know but i will gladly look into that issue as soon as i can boot my phone, currently i'm stuck in a bootlop and my phone doesn't get recognised. i put all my hopes in the unbrick tool at this point, whenever it will be out.
I will let you know

What ? Why!
what happened? Did you get this after unlocking the bootloader or after boot.img?
My troubkeshooting will consiste of flashing raw, but i am not sure if that will lock your bootloader

can you enter recovery and fastbootd ? if you only get access to bootloader, flashing a raw image does work !
then you can apply ota update zips from booted android and subsequently patch boot.img extracted from payload.bin from the ota update.

can you enter recovery and fastbootd ? if you only get access to bootloader, flashing a raw image does work !
then you can apply ota update zips from booted android and subsequently patch boot.img extracted from payload.bin from the ota update.

i believe you already have version WW-18.0830.2101.86 for WW only ( i just checked, i believe it was you who posted it here ). you can use this guide to extract boot.img from the payload.bin from the "UL-ASUS_I005_1-ASUS-18.0830.2101.81-1.1.64-user.zip" then if you continue by following the guide at the top of this thread you will be rooted in 15 minutes at most.

oh ! dammit it's weird... you could try to patch the boot image with another phone.
or maybe the update file isn't right for your phone. i don't get it
Somebody successfully succeeded with the bootloader & Rooting this Asus ROG 5 phone?
my experience rooting was as follows:
I bought the rog phone 5 I005DA in china, in which the store changed the rom CN to WW version WW-18.0830.2101.86 and blocked the bootloader.
When my hands arrived I updated the firmware to WW-18.0840.2103.26 (the last one available).
I followed all the steps in this post and I was successful with root.
(Attention, extract the boot.img from the firmware that you currently have installed on the phone)

I updated the firmware to the latest official version, extract the boot.img from the last official firmware, and installed the official unlock tool from the ASUS website, I just had to follow the tutorial.
