Happened to me too.. no worries..
Re-flash AR through fastboot and it will work again..
adb shell reboot bootloader
adb shell mount /sdcard
adb push recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img /sdcard/recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img
adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img
adb shell reboot
that's it .. you can rename recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img to something shorter so you don't have to type so much

thanks, but i do not understand, how do i access fastboot ? i am keen to learn but this is new to me...
I'm pretty sure that this is the process, got this from the RA-heroc-v1.6.2.img thread:
adb shell reboot bootloader
fastboot boot recovery-RA-heroc-v1.6.2.img
adb shell mount /sdcard
adb push recovery-RA-heroc-v1.6.2.img /sdcard/recovery-RA-heroc-v1.6.2.img
adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-heroc-v1.6.2.img
adb shell reboot

I NEVER DONE THIS BEFORE...
back + power button will take you to fastboot...
BUT, I believe "adb shell reboot bootloader" will take you to the right place instead of trying button combinations. So, you can run these commands from normal boot itself.
so when you say, run from normal boot itself, you mean from a file manager etc ?

No!
Do you have adb setup? If not set it up using this link:

Check this link as well: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=502010
no, you start your phone up normal, go to settings and make sure usb debugging is enabled, then connect your usb-cabel, go to your sdk-directory and type adb shell reboot bootloader, then your phone will reboot into fastboot
Not sure,, this is what I added when I flashed the phone..
boot up the hero, plug in the usb, execute the commands that were given to you on the pc. that is all. you need adb on the pc for that.
right, i dod not know i had to have a programe on the PC,,, I will look for adb and see where I can find it. Is this an app I need to install on the PC ? where do I get it ?

Are you sure adb recognizes your phone? Type the following to see if your device is listed in there,
Code:
adb devices
Do post the result.

Okay so as we all know Bootloader was unlock and they specify the steps, but im not able to do the command prompt section.(Below)
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
dd if=/sdcard/twrp-2.8.0.0_vs985-signed.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
I have the twrp image on my storage, but i used mtp not Ethernet due to the reason that Ethernet mode won't read my phone.
Can anyone help me on how to void my warranty and get CP working
Please no hating, barely learning this stuff
Thanks!!
You need to have USB debugging enabled on your phone, adb installed on your computer and the LG drivers installed. If you have all that the steps to unlock are quite clear.
Also your phone needs to be on and you need to keep an eye on it as you will have to enable a couple of things when they pop up on your phone, one is to allow your computer to see your phone in debugging mode and the other is to Grant super user permission.

You need to be able to get the phone operating in Ethernet mode; otherwise the computer cannot pass it commands. Alternatively, you can use a terminal emulator ON your phone itself. That's what I did as I didn't want to boot my desktop rig up before I left. It works exactly the same, except you don't type "adb shell", just open the term emu and start with the SU line.
It works fine if you do it from a terminal emulator on ur phone just fyi

Can confirm. This is the way I did it since I don't have access to a computer until later tonight. Just type the exact commands (except for adb shell) in a terminal emulator and you are done.
I can also confirm this is working.
I had to download the LG updater or whatever (when you first plug the phone in; says installer) despite Win7 saying it had autoinstalled the drivers then ADB could see the device when in ethernet mode.
Also the last command didn't work (guess I didn't have the TWRP in the right place) and was forced to do a battery pull after the Factory Reset (didn't erase my data or settings), booted fine and then I just flashed the recovery with Flashify (and now can get into recovery) but YMMV.
FLASHIFY
Hey whats up the easiest way to install this is an app called Flashyify in play store works great im unlocked without using adb. Let the roms begin. Thanks for the hard work that everyone put in. Just put twrp image on phone before you open flashyify and open and install and recovery will be installed

I am not familiar with Linux but on Windows waiting for device comes up when the driver for that phone is installed. May be you can look into it for a solution.
Install the drivers and then give it a try.

You need to install adb fastboot these are the instructions you need to type in the terminal you just opened. Type one line at a time and press enter after each. Allow Ubuntu to do it's stuff.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot
after you reboot to the bootloader you use fastboot commands ,not adb

Sorry, I'm messing up what I'm trying to say. I have adb and fastboot installed, running on ubuntu 16.04. I plug my phone in, open Terminal, and run adb devies. My device pops up, it's there. So I run adb reboot bootloader, my phone goes on the white screen with the android fellow, and all is good. Now, I i try adb devices again, nothing. I put in lsusb (lists all usb devices connected to computer), and nothing. So, naturally, when i try fastboot oem unlock and my code, I'm stuck on <waiting for device>

adb does not work in the bootloader
After reboot bootloader it's fastboot devices
If you get no response try a different usb port
Or different usb cord

used the rear usb port and magically decided to work, edited the original post. Thank you for your help and I apologize for the much noobiness you had to encounter.
This is a copy of the comment I made in the [Help] topic, figured I would make a separate post since that thread is a mess. Anyway, credit for the method is to krytikul and evelpotatoman. I am not responsible for any damage/unwanted results/house fires. Use at your own risk yada yada.
Without furher ado, here is my tutorial for those who want working SuperSU on their MDZ-16-AB Mi Box 3. Warning: since the bootloader isn't unlockable yet, you will have to connect a laptop to run some commands EVERY TIME YOU BOOT UP THE MI BOX. If you do not connect to run the specified commands YOUR DEVICE WILL BOOTLOOP, it won't even be able to boot in unrooted state. Luckily, this doesn't apply to waking up from standby mode, so as long as you keep your Mi Box plugged in and don't power it off, you'll be fine.
You will need:
A USB male to male cable (I made one myself soldering two cable plugs together)
Mi Box Marshmallow userdebug firmware ROM (this guide will not work if you are already on Nougat test build)
SuperSU installation files
The ability to use adb on your computer
The steps:
Put the downloaded userdebug firmware ROM on a FAT32 formatted drive.
Enable developer options on the Mi Box. This can be done in your settings, find "About" and then click on "build" 7 times to enable the developer options. It will confirm you've done this with an on-screen toast notification.
Connect the Mi Box to your computer and check if a device comes up when typing "adb devices" in command prompt. If not, wait for the Mi Box to display a dialogue confirming you want to allow adb on this computer.
Type "adb reboot recovery" to put the Mi Box in recovery mode. Once in recovery, unhook the cable and plug in your usb, click "Apply update from EXT" then "Update from udisk" and select MiBOX3_USA_once_r454.zip, then just let the update do it's thing.
Reboot the device. Once we're back, see if the box is still under adb devices.
Now run these commands:
Code:
adb root
adb remount
adb disable-verity
adb reboot
The device will reboot. Once it's rebooted, run these commands to disable OTA updates (otherwise it will immediately update to an unrootable firmware
Code:
adb root
adb remount
adb shell pm disable com.google.android.gms/.update.SystemUpdateService
adb shell pm disable com.google.android.gms/.update.SystemUpdateService$ActiveReceiver
adb shell pm disable com.google.android.gms/.update.SystemUpdateService$Receiver
adb shell pm disable com.google.android.gms/.update.SystemUpdateService$SecretCodeReceiver
adb shell pm disable com.google.android.gsf/.update.SystemUpdateActivity
adb shell pm disable com.google.android.gsf/.update.SystemUpdatePanoActivity
adb shell pm disable com.google.android.gsf/.update.SystemUpdateService
adb shell pm disable com.google.android.gsf/.update.SystemUpdateService$Receiver
adb shell pm disable com.google.android.gsf/.update.SystemUpdateService$SecretCodeReceiver
adb reboot
Wait for the device to reboot. Now we've disabled OTA updates we can install SuperSU. Unzip the SuperSU installer and run the installer BAT script. When the script is done, it will seem as if the device is bootlooping. From now on, this will happen EVERY TIME THE DEVICE BOOTS. If you do not connect to run the specified commands YOUR DEVICE WILL BOOTLOOP, it won't even be able to boot in unrooted state. Below are the steps you should perform to get your device to boot in SuperSU-rooted state.
While the bootanimation is running, keep executing "adb devices" until your device is in the list.
Once the Mi Box is in the adb devices list, type "adb root" and press enter. your device will be disconnected from adb again.
Keep executing "adb devices" again until the Mi Box reappears. When it's there, type "adb shell setenforce 0"
All these steps are performed while the bootanimation is playing. The device will boot shortly after the last command is executed. Be patient as it can take a while for the device to re-enter the adb devices list.
thanks. all works fine
maybe i'd try this.
but is there a way also to undo the rooting without reflashing the firmware? or is there also a script to undo or remove the root?
Hey guys;
hope you are all doing great, I need your help.

I'm happy to tell you magisk and twrp on mdz-16-ab is possible. And I managed to do this. It need a small hack on u-boot. I need someone who have this device to do more tests for this method.
