Temp Root on LG G Stylo LS770 M 6.0 ( Boost / Sprint )
Attention if you decide to try this and end up with a BRICK / Expensive paperweight or your device decides to transform and destroys your home town that's on you. You have been warned . So just read all of this instructions (and read the O.P more then once)
I can confirm temp root on the LG G Stylo LS770 M 6.0 ( Boost / Sprint ) . Perm root will work with Android OS 2.1 - 5.1 & TEMP Root for Android OS 6.0 - ?
Downloads
Download King root ( Suggest from their website and not the Play store ) http://www.kingroot.net/
Download BusyBox from the Play store ( I suggest BusyBox from Jrummy ) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.busybox.installer&hl=en
Download a Root Cheaker to verify root , I suggest https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joeykrim.rootcheck&hl=en
Instructions
Download all the necessary APP's and Files .
Run KingRoot and just follow the in app instructions ( Normally you will get to around 23% and the app will say failed to root device but it hasn't yet for me )
Run whatever Root checker you decided to download and verify root ( if you didn't obtain root just run KingRoot again )
Run and install BusyBox
PROFIT
Now you are able to use Apps and Mods until you re-boot your phone.
-Permanent root is reversible, open the app and there will be a button to unroot
-Temporary root will be removed after a reboot
Temporary root
These are usually one-step apps that you install on your phone, and they give you root access until the next time your phone is restarted. They are a great way to get your feet wet,and you can do a lot with them -- both good and bad. The ease of use makes temporary rooting pretty popular, and it's a fine choice if your reasons for rooting are to use root-enabled apps from the Market.
That being said, some apps just aren't going to work unless you go all out and permanently root your phone. This depends a lot on which phone you're using, as manufacturers have an endless supply of dirty tricks to keep the hardware you paid for under lock and key. You'll either have to ask users with the same model as you're using, or use trial and error. The good news is that the popular root-enabled apps, and the ones you're most likely to want to use should work without a problem. Titanium Backup, Wireless Tether, Root Explorer and the like should do just fine.
The last thing to keep in mind, is that not all changes will be permanent. For example -- using a utility to "freeze" bloatware (applications from your carrier that you don't want or need) may not keep them frozen and hidden after a reboot. Also some of the newer HTC phones have an evil little bug a feature that reverts any changes you have made to the system, bringing it back to the way it was before you started hacking away at it. In those cases, the only fix is to perma-root your phone.
Permanent root
This is where things get a bit hairy. Some phones, like the Nexus One, don't need to be rooted -- they can be unlocked via the Android SDK and modified at will. Other phones, like the OG Droid, are really easy to root, and will only take a few minutes. Finally, some phones, like the T-Mobile MyTouch 4G force you to jump through flaming hoops and follow often cryptic instructions, laden with warnings about bricking your phone. That's a whole 'nother rant for a different venue, but it does need said so that you know what you may be getting yourself into. You'll need to do your homework, ask any questions you feel are unanswered or are unsure of, and weigh all this into your decision. Everyone who says "It's easy!" (including me) really means they found it easy -- that doesn't necessarily mean you will.
Now that I've sufficiently scared you, it's time to talk about why anyone in their right mind would go through this. Besides the advantages of keeping changes persistent between reboots, and those few Market apps that won't work with a temp-rooted phone, you have what many consider the best part of owning an Android phone -- custom ROMs.
To flash any custom recovery, kernel, or ROM, you're going to need to have permanent root access to your phone. Flashing new firmware is very low level stuff, and you need read and write access to everything. The good news is that usually the rooting is the most difficult part, and a custom recovery gives you access to a tool that can take a snapshot of your system, and save it as a restore point. That's a good thing, because once you start flashing, you're hooked -- and a single command restore is priceless.
Hopefully I've helped a little in your decision making, and remember -- there is always help in the XDA forums. Find the specific area for your model of Android phone, and look for the link at the top to the hacking section. Those guys live for this stuff, and will steer you in the right direction.
LG G Stylo LS770 MM Restore Files
Due to the overwhelming private messages about kingroot and other rooting apps softbricking phones i have posted a fix for the Boost Mobile LG G Stylo LS770 on MM (6.0) . Here are all the files needed to restore a bricked LS770 on MM .

Somehow after freezing few apps most Google one, rebooted and got code: 1003 system been modified and stuck in boot loop at initial boot, just reboots after LG logo. Tried to factory reset and LG tool, already running 6.0 latest OS. Had root, busy box easy install and rebooted it, stuck. Soft brick?
I'm sorry to hear that , I've personally never had a problem uninstalling apps on the LG G Stylo but i only really uninstall the bloat from my carrier . There is a Safe To Debloat Guide for our phone but I haven't personally tried it out yet .
Sadly we don't have the KDZ file for our phone so you cant just simply re-flash your phone . But hopefully that doesn't mean we cant get your phone back up and running . There are a few different things we can try .
Can you give me all the information about your phone as you can like carrier, model number , software version and so on .

Thank you for the information.
Lets start by seeing if just flashing the latest Update zip for M 6.0 will get your phone back up and running. It should take you back to stock and update the system file . it's a untouched update zip .

I can list folder contents in device #ls

You got LAF ..... Ive only ran into her a couple times and i still dont understand if she's mocking us .
But don't partition anything quit yet , we might be able to just flash the system img with a command line . Do you have adb and everything set up ?
I'll be able to help more when i get home from work .
Here's a helpful video from YouTube that might help https://youtu.be/Za9H7TgeZ50
, i will be leaving all the LG files in my cloud just in case you need the original zip
I just went out and got me another one. I tried ADB and it was all LAF constantly.
Will wait till stable root available and possibly unlocked bootloader, 6.0 got it locked pretty complicated.
Ya they did a number on locking this device . How were you able to get a replacement so fast ?
I'm just hoping we can get fastboot working so we don't have these types of problems.

Any way to root boost mobile only to edit hosts file and then un-root to prevent LAF lock-down?
I'll actually test if editing the build prop with temp root will allow the change to stick after a reboot .
Ive been spending all my free time trying to get fastboot running to tinker with temp root to much .
STAY AWAY FROM KING ROOT! I used King Root last night to obtain root on Marshmallow for my LGMS631 running the official T-Mobile update. Root was successful however the system became very unstable to the point which I decided to unroot and uninstall King Root completely. After restarting my phone I was prompted with Secure Boot Error and MODIFIED. If I didn't have access to a stock KDZ my phone would have been a complete paperweight with no other choice but to send it in to LG for repair. My suggestion to all LG G Stylo users that are not with T-Mobile or MetroPCS will be that you avoid King Root at all costs. Without a KDZ and the LG Flash Tool you will nit be able to recover from a soft brick.
No KDZ available for Boost/Sprint
Anyone got a way to edit hosts file?
Do not root 6.0 boost until bootloader has been unlocked.
it will need to be rooted
it will need to be rooted
as stock marshmallow 6.0 uses too much memory upto 886 mb
only 65 mb free
As of right now we haven't been able to pull the system.img
Sent from my LG-ls990 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Doesnt look like any root for us virgin, boost or sprint stylo owners, shame. Glad its just my sons phone.

Yes. I did replace the hosts file with using kingroot. I rebooted and was fine. I later bricked it doing something else and sent it to LG for free repair. I haven't rooted since. Isn't there the tot files posted to recover from a brick on Boost?
Now I'm using NetGuard (here on XDA) that uses a VPN instead of root to implement a hosts list. I also have my DPI set to 270 but that can be done via ADB without root. :]
Hello,
I would like to ask if there is some safe method to root this phone? On 6.0 I downloaded newest kingroot application and ended up like that:

Simply by having secure boot error by after restarting the phone.
refresh, anyone?
Rooting is never safe.

On phone: settings->phone info->update->software update, or if your phone is rooted use lg bridge

I didn't get the OTA so I just used Bridge.
God, my first phone without root on latest version, without custom roms and without unlocked bootloader :/
Yea so... I'm on my H635 G4 Stylus, android 6.0 and I tried everything to root it and nothing works. When I was on 5.1.1 I was able to root it with King(o)Root but when I restarted the phone, the root went away. Now I even tried to flash old KDZ file with android 5.1.1 and LG Flash Tool 2014 says some error and LG UP cannot recognize the phone. And i researched ALL the possibilities to make LG UP and Flash Tool work but still can't recognize it. So that means that I cannot downgrade the phone. Then I tried to root this 6.0 android I have and tried all sorts of things and no results. When I tried to root it with OneClickRoot it said that the root is currently unavailable but they will notify me as soon as they get it working. I even tried LG Root script. I mean... This phone has only 8gb of storage and 4 gigs is system only... Of course I have a memory card inside but this solves nothing. I wish this phone would finally be rootable because I want to hide those soft keys cause they looks stupid (there is app that hides them but its not "legit", the root version of the app is what I want) and delete some of the system apps.... And it would be cool that somebody would make something like slim rom that would be like 1gb in size. It's just not fun having it and I know this phone is very capable if someone spent a little bit of their time on this device. I'm so unhappy...
Did you find a way to root - im seraching, too
I still need this so do others please someone make something
Hey guys,
Hopefully this thread continues to grow for the LG G stylo Cricket version (h634). I'd like some help and would really appreciate it. I currently have the latest updated LG G Stylo Cricket version and would like to know a few things:
•*What is the safest and successful root procedure? I've heard too many bricking issues, so I am afraid to just jump into it. My software version is the latest, which is the H63410g version
•*Is there any actual factory restore available? I came across this thread and not sure how accurate or valid it is: http://www.mylgphones.com/cricket-l...are-how-to-unbrick-restore-back-to-stock.html
The main developer on a original site said to please not share freely, but if it works, I really do feel everyone with a bricked device should donate for his hard work and help. Its a paperweight + having to buy another $150+ device vs $10 + supporting passionate developers.
• Why do people insist on using super su instead of just keeping kingroot? Isn't kingroot enough for root?
•*What is the best way to modify the lg g stylo to force the system to automatically use the external sd storage for all media including apps, cache, etc.
Really appreciate an insight here. This low memory storage on the lg g stylo cricket version (8gb) is ridiculous and impossible to work with without worrying about low storage issues/errors
Please advise, thanks guys.
I just rooted my h63410g with kingroot. It says that it's not recomended but hit the proceed anyway and it'll work.
I only did 30mins of research and realized DO NOT USE SUPER SU. IT WILL BRICK YOUR DEVICE. just use kingroot for su.
I havnt done any bloatware removal yet but everyone says that the paid version of link2sd is the way to go.
The link you shared with the stock firmware is password protected and none of the comments can confirm it works. Hopefully it does tho!
Hi all,
I want a rooted phone but my last two phones (LG Stylo 2 and Samsung J727V) seem to be unrootable despite research and no lack of trying. I'm currently trying to root an older phone but there's no root for it with its current firmware and firmware rollback isn't working. It feels like someone in the mix (carrier/manufacturer/OS developer) is invested in making rooting as hard as possible. I really just want to go ahead and get a phone that is easily rootable on a carrier that allows it. Is there a good rule of thumb like, "look, go sign up with this carrier and get this phone today and come back to XDA?"
Thanks!

have you try kingroot? kingroot only will add a admin account. it won't change the stock Rom of your device. if it works for your device this is the fastest way to do it. without pc. just a apk file

Nice.
Can you please share the exact method you carried on?
Follow the guide here to install TWRP and disable force encryption: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/recovery-official-twrp-3-7-for-galaxy-a52-4g-and-a72-4g.4405751/
After that just flash Magisk.
Greetings to the XDA Team and all the other good people,
I want to root my Samsung Galaxy A52 4G, and just wanted to ask where should I start so I do it successfully, without upside-down moments. I already updated my phone to the latest, so now the phone is running Android 13.
I am a beginner in this, I educated myself from some videos online and on the XDA forum and saw that I can make my device more secure with root, I can disable system and apps trackers.
So my first question is, do I need to downgrade to Android 12 so the success rate becomes higher or I can stick with Android 13 and still get success for the end goal?
My second question is if what I wrote above this is a truth.
The third question is, how do I get my device running again if rooting fails?
The forth question is, can I unroot my device if I want it at some moment?
My fifth and last question is, is rooting worthy and needed so I can achieve my goals?
I still think I know nothing and want to expand my knowledge, so I ask people who are masters in this field to help me out with this, so I can become happier.
Thanks for considering my request.

You can do root your phone. But you should not be panic. carefully read instructions and do it with patient without skipping none of the steps.
I'm also not an expert. but i have done rooting of more than 10 phones without failing.
you have to unlock your boot loader before rooting.
I doubt about your statement about device becomes more secure with root. it depends on what you do alter followed by root. yes you can improve privacy.
also your banking apps may stop work after rooting. so you have to apply necessary modules (security fixes) before get them start working again.
if rooting failed provided phone is not hard bricked, you can flash your original firmware to restore the phone. what i always do is keeping all the original firmware ready with me before doing any rooting.
yes. you can unroot by flashing original firmware.
last question is difficult to answer. majority of people use their phones without rooting. if you want to be different, it's up to you.
