LG Stylo 3 Plus - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I know some Stylos are able to obtain root. What's the scenario for the 3/3 Plus series?

dont know yet but the plus series is ure best bet from history speaking
as of rite now theyre no methods on any of the 3s
of coarse u can try king/kingo root prob be best bet

The Plus models from MetroPCS and TMobile have unlockable bootloader's, so all that's needed is TWRP to flash root

Nice to know there will be an option in a month or two. I hear development on Stylos don't take too long considering their popularity.

I would love to know what's needed to attempt root on a device...I mean from scratch...like what is needed to access the /data file...and how to break thru the lock LG has to stop someone from mounting and rewriting certain files

Do the devices have fast boot. If so a oem unlock. Some one said metro and t mobiles where unlocked or unlockable

I'm no programming/root expert but in developer options you enable oem unlock.. then connected o the pc you type fastboot oem unlock from a command prompt.. the phone then says its unlocked .. that's as far as I went. Aso after that, when you boot the phone, it literally complains that it is missing security before it boots.

im waiting in the g4 threads to see if a few friends might be able to help us and u out if we can get a full device back up in fastboot then get it uploaded then there should be a command to reflash it through fastboot

Great I can still get to fastboot so if I could get an image, I could flash it.

LG might have removed the ability to boot an image without flashing it like they did with the Stylo 2 plus, and I don't think there is a kdz available yet as I been looking for one every couple of days but haven't found one.

so there is no way to make a backup through fastboot it is said that waiting for a kdz or .tot firmware and restoration through download mode with lg flash tool or lgup or support tool is best bet
do u still have download mode?

An existing fastboot does not mean that it support flashing custom recovery, check lg g6 threads to know what I'm talking about.

I want to purchase one of these from metro to use on my h20 account. If I flash a new rom will it get rid of that stupid unlock policy that makes you use the app after 90 days to unlock?

Anyone know if or when any updates even security patches will roll out for this device?
Sent from my LG-TP450 using Tapatalk

My bet is the situation is similar with G Stylo 2+.
Even with the latest 7.0 ROM, I still could flash TWRP and install SuperSU (not Magisk unfortunately).

Ok Thanks. I am in and generating a backup. The touch screen was working for me mostly. It won't let me select Micro SDCard to save my backup.
Yeah like I said it need some repair I am pretty sure the mount points aren't perfect and I didn't compile it I had to use an otg and mouse to navigate

What I did to navigate was I had to push the power button then it would bring the screen up where you can swipe the bottom to unlock the screen and use touchscreen. Navigating the storage was odd because it shows it is stuck on Internal storage, but If i click on SDCard, it will take me to that directory. I hope there is a nice update to this is the near future, so we don't have to access it through "adb reboot recovery"
You can flash it if you like I just don't trust this copy yet waiting for an update before I flash it
You can use" fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" to flash rather than "fastboot boot twrp.img " to boot it

Oh man you were so right. I had it flashed and it caused me all kinds of problems, like booting the screen upside down etc. I was finally able to find the recovery.img in another thread and get back the stock recovery. I think I will also wait until there is a more stable TWRP version.
I always use boot to test and I always backup my recovery before flashing because I had that happen to me before
Any idea on when a decent working custom recovery will be available?

Lol. I hear you. I have very little understanding of Linux I have tried to make one but there aren't enough information about compiling device /vendor tree for a new device to go on
Just visit this page and you will get TWRP for Z016D. It's a Taiwan website with Chinese but you can see the blue link marked as "TWRP" and there you are.

The 20170218 recovery works perfectly with my phone (6/64gb, 820). The first one posted in the OP worked, but was a bit glitchy. The updated one has working SD reading and touchscreen works without having to lock it first.
Could someone please tell me why twrp is booting upside down on my device, and how do I fix it? I just tried to run it in fastboot boot twrp-3.0.3-0-Z016D-20170218.img and once again it loads upside down, however the touch screen is where it normally is suppose to be, which makes it very difficult to navigate the menus. It is very frustrating. This has happened to me multiple times this week. I can't seem to get it to boot/load properly.

I really don't want to wipe everything and start all over from scratch because everything else is working great right now. I guess if there is no easy solution, then I will just leave it alone. I ran it with fastboot and then made a backup and saved it on my microSD card. But I am worried if I wipe everything and start all over again, then I will have to call my bank again to verify my cards for Android pay. I am running the stock firmware version 1698, with stock recovery, an unlocked bootloader, & rooted. Also have Magisk & Titanium Pro installed, and I verified that Andoid pay works for me. (I already bought something using Android pay).

I flashed Magisk v11.1 with TWRP, then installed Magisk Manager from the Google Play Store, after I rebooted my device. I did that by booting in to TWRP with fastboot to flash the .zip file. I did not flash TWRP to install Magisk.

i think i bricked my phone and i keep making it worse the more i research

long story short
htc desire 610, rooted, bootloader unlocked
needed to bypass safetynet
used magisk 12.4 worked fine, new update came
magisk no longer worked, forced me to update
update bricked my phone, bypassed this by reflashing rom in recovery
researched why new magisk update was being stubborn, one suggested updating my TWRP to latest build
updated TWRP, flashed the img while in recovery, ended up putting recovery into my boot (following a guide and wasnt paying attention)
phone now stuck in bootloop, can only go in recovery
wiped and formatted everything, decided to use adb sideload as its worked wonders for me before to try and put my rom back in
adb sideload wont detect phone, after many troublesome hours i decided to follow yet another guide i found about installing a RUU file into my phone to recover
followed guide step by step, turns out htc phones need bootloader locked, wasnt mentioned in guide

ive read many pages about similar issues, some saying boot into fastboot, some saying "just type in cmd prompt" with an attached line of code... others saying "its easy just unlock your bootloader" but what i dont understand is how i can do this??

this worked, i must of given up at exactly 7 seconds lol
dumb question but with all these programs ive downloaded tonight ive just about given up
if i factory reset my phone in android recovery mode (not TWRP, the one with the 4 androids) on a phone that doesnt have an OS installed there isnt some miracle chance it would revert to stock rom would it? the only thing on my phone is TWRP and i was using CM12 before everything spiraled out of control
update - phone can access TWRP so im back to square one, i tried RUU i tried adb sideload and i also tried the folliwing programs
sdkmanager
SP flash tool (cant be used with htc)
windroid toolkit
USDDeview
ODIN
i just want to start over and try again but i cant seem to fix this
No, factory reset just reinstalls the OS that was on the device. If you brick the device it doesn't have an OS to reinstall.
Unfortunately, I can't help you very much as I wasn't able to fix my Galaxy S4 that was bricked trying to unroot as my carrier data was slow and I couldnt find the series of files including Bootloader and OS that I used on my Galaxy Discover that fixed it (obviously galaxy s4 series of files) as Odin will flash stock os and with some work around flash custom os.

its all good i feel like theres hope now that i can get back into recovery, tense moments such as these means id prob never of held down that button for more than 7 seconds to begin with and id still be stuck from RUU mode atleast.
just wish i knew how to get adb sideload to work its worked in the past but i cant get it to detect and the guide im reading says i have to use SP flash tool but i cant use scatter files on an htc phone.

I don't really know adb very much as I haven't really had much experience with it.
Will probably be picking up a nexus 6 and rooting it since those are 100% stock Android and are easy to root and unbrick etc I will definitely be getting more experience with adb and root

ive rooted before, and since its rooted its easier to recover in circumstances such as these
the magisk update is what started it, old magisk stopped working and it forced me to update and that caused everything to spiral out of control

back to square one, new magisk update came out today which claims to not brick phones... still bricks mine
i guess thread closed. nobody here and every 2 hours i come into a different problem so ill just keep toying with it
if anyone cares, my current issue is that i cannot flash the current TWRP it always results in a bootloop im currently using an older build and ive been told that i need the newest TWRP for the newest magisk build

Stuck in recovery, KIW-L22, bought from Malaysia.

Here's the deal,
1. I was on resurrection remix 7.1 custom rom with TWSRP recovery installed.
2. Wanted to go back to stock huawei honor 5x OS so I downloaded it on the internet, since I live in Malaysia, I searched for "Huawei Honor 5x Stock Rom Malaysia Variant"
3. Flash the rom, got EMUI 2.0 instead of the written EMUI 3.1 on the file (the file name is KIW-L22_C636B130_Firmware_Android 5.1_EMUI 3.1_Malaysia.zip"
4. Flashed HONOR_5X_Firmware_KIW-L22_Android 6.0.1_EMUI 4.0.1_C675B360CUSTC675D002.zip that I got from huawei's website
5. Stuck in bootloop.
6. I went into TWRP recovery and tried to do something but I couldn't use the touchscreen for some odd reason
7. Went and browsed XDA for around 2 hours and found that I can install another recovery that uses the volume buttons and the power buttons to navigate, thus I installed a recovery called "carliwm touch recovery"
8. Was happy could finally do something, successfully flashed the recovery. Went and downloaded Lineage OS rom based on my mistakes that I've done and never want to go back to stock rom.
9. The recovery has an option to mount the external sd card (my sd card in my phone, dont know why it's called as such), so I did, I still couldn't navigate using the touchscreen as it's disfunctional still but can still navigate using volume and power buttons.
10. Wiped all data, flashed Lineage OS, flashed GAPPS.
11. Stuck in recovery for some reason, can't get into my phone. I've re-flashed it many times
For those who want to know my phone model, it's KIW-L22. When it had stock rom it was EMUI 4 something, can't remember as it's very vague. I think it was marshmallow
Please help
EDIT:
I use Huawei Update Extractor to get into the stock rom that had EMUI 2.0, extracted the System and Recovery images
Used this video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoZQHTidnGA&t=629s ) to flash back to stock rom that had EMUI 2.0
The only way to get out of the recovery is to reboot the phone
In the bootloader, it says "PHONE Unlocked" and "FRP Unlock"
UPDATE:
I've tried to follow the video again and re-flashed the stock rom with EMUI 2.0 and it still doesn't work
I've wiped everything in the phone using the recovery (wiped data and factory reset), going to sleep as it's 4:37 AM
This is what happens when you dont read the guides that are posted all over this forum, we have seen it so many times I have lost count and also the inclination to help sort out the mess, I would never ever in my life download any firmware that wasn't posted on XDA or flash a phone without reading guides on here first as they usually not only give the correct information but usually point to the correct firmware.
Beauty fades but stupid is forever...Judge Judy !

Your touchscreen isn't working and your getting a bootloop because you probably have the wrong boot.image this is clealy the case as your touch screen isn't working, if you search through my guides for al10 which i cant be bothered to get the link for now one of them has a link to a twrp image of what i rhink is l22, anyway its a twrp image, you can flash that using twrp and it should restore your phone, good luck

This is for the AL10 but should be of use to you, download the twrp image, you will need to make a backup first of your phone then follow the instructions, you cant restore using a update.app as you have wrecked the system image and ruined the version check so this is your best hope to reatore tour phone and install lineage, good luck

huh nevermind, its censored, then do you have any idea how to flash the boot partition?
This will be my last instructions then the rest is down to you..
Download minimal adb and unzip it
Download Huawei extractor tool
Download stock update.apo for any honor 5x
Use huawei extractor and open update.app with it
Extract boot.img
Place e boot.img in minimal adb folder
Download hiapp from web
Install hiapp
Plug phone into computer in adb mode
Open adb command window
Type adb devices to check its there
Type fastboot flash boot boot.img
Then install twrp
Fastboot flash recovery twrp.img "or whatever file name it is"
No fastboot reboot recovery
Now install lineage
Now hit the thanks button and write a guide on why guides are important

Probably not working because boot.img is messed up, you cant have flashed it right, you only option is to try flashing each partition with the extracted files and hope it works and if it doesnt return it to a service center, im out of ideas im afraid, i flashed my boot.img before and it worked when i had no touch screen, didnt you make a backup before you messed with the phone ? Could end up being a expensive mistake, maybe try other boot.img or ask someone on here with a l24 for a copy of their boot.img but without that your screwed as it cant load the touchscreen drivers.

LG G5 RS988 "Your Device is Corrupt. It cannot be trusted and will not boot" HELP PLZ

LG G5 RS988 "Your Device is Corrupt. It cannot be trusted and will not boot" HELP PLZ
Hello everyone,
I ran into this problem while trying to solve another.
The current state of my phone (RS988):
On booting, I receive this message: "Your device is corrupt. It cannot be trusted and will not boot."
Fastboot and Download Mode is still accessible.
I can still access the "Factory data reset" dialog, but after selecting "Yes" twice it takes me to the above message.
[edit]:
fastboot getvar unlocked
unlocked: no
I tried unlocking the phone again using fastboot flash unlock:
fastboot flash unlock unlock.bin
target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'unlock' (1 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.053s]
writing 'unlock'...
(bootloader) Error!!
(bootloader) Bootloader Unlock key write fail
FAILED (remote failure)
finished. total time: 0.100s
_______________________________________________________________________________
how can i recover from this ? btw im on LG G5 RS988 21d update and i had alot of trouble finding a kdz file for LGUP
I have the same problem. I used Uppercut & LGUP v.1.14.3 to flash "RS98811c_00_ARB01_1.kdz" using Refurbish option stops al 10% (Primary GPT) error 0x2BC invalid command response: 0x80000121. Using Upgrade option stops at 11% (laf)with error 0x2BC invalid command response 0x80000202.
I had lost the phone, when recovered only booted on twrp. I tried to fix it using:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/soc/624000.ufshc/by-name/misc
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/soc/624000.ufshc/by-name/fota
After booting appeared the message "Your device is corrupt. It cannot be trusted and will not boot."

the same thing exactly happened to me, somehow the bootloader got LOCKED again. i cant unlock it because of OEM Unlocking not enabled after wipe in TWRP. thinking about getting a new Logicboard\Motherboard. and i couldn't find RS98821d kdz\tot anywhere.
You'll need to send them in for repair with someone who has the non-free proprietary Qualcomm firehose files, xml partition map, and non-free stock partition files .mbn/.bin (similar to kdz/tot, but aren't). Or through the JTAG box method that I use. There's no other way to revive this particular phone model RS988 besides this method. I can do the JTAG box method repair if interested. You also wiped your fota and misc (can cause BT, wifi, and DRM media problems) partition which you shouldn't have, which again can't be fixed without JTAG. I can't share my particular methods, but if you Google them or search on YouTube, you'll get an idea.

I flashed the RS98810h.kdz file (which you can find on InfoPrime AIO Thread) using LGUP which basically the only kdz that i could flash. and for the DLL you could Use Uppercut (Also in InfoPrime AIO thread) then unlocked the bootloader again and installed TWRP then flashed the RS98821d zip. Thats it.
Or if u dont want to install TWRP you could just flash the RS98810h.kdz using LGUP and uppercut then unlock the bootloader and you're good to go.

Any root for Asus ZenFone max plus(M1)?

Is there anything I can do to root this device? I already tried using kingroot and kingoroot but it failed to root, I also tried to install a custom recovery (twrp) but it doesn't support this device so if anyone compiled a twrp file for this device it can also help.please help me guys.thank you.
Device:Asus ZenFone Max Plus (M1)
I haven't found anything yet, but there is an official unlocker here. I think it only works for a certain model though, it didn't seem to do it for me. However they did release the source, and I'm in the process of getting set up to try and get TWRP to compile with it. Won't be able to do much with it if I can't unlock the bootloader, though

Flashed via adb and fastboot, get the stock boot off a dump from your phone, make a new boot.img with magisk, fastboot the new boot.img to your phone. Works flawless, and all audio mods I have tried so far work

Sorry this may seem dumb but can you give me a step-by-step please.I understand how I'm to patch the boot.img with magisk,I just don't fully understand how to get a dump from my phone in order to find the boot.img to patch and flash afterwards,also any tips on how to flash with adb would be helpful thanks.I think it's something along the lines of adb push magisk.....img... right?I have expereince flashing custom roms and magisk from a custom recovery but with this phone there is no custom recovery yet,which is why I was stuck.So would i unlock bootlader first,and then patch the boot.img and flash it via fastboot?or would unlocking the bootloader after patching and flashing the boot.img be better.

Flashed via adb and fastboot, get the stock boot off a dump from your phone, make a new boot.img with magisk, fastboot the new boot.img to your phone. Works flawless, and all audio mods I have tried so far work

I've found out how to flash a magisk patched image,but i can't seem to find out how to create a dump without root.
bootloader unlock first?

Hey! Did you have any results there? I ended up buying this phone and totally regretting it. Stuck in android 7.0 and no root yet.

I'm going to try to root the phone in order to dumpo the recovery.img from the phone and port twrp for our phone.I did see a file for our same mediatek chip but it was for 4 gb's of ram.If I could somehow edit that for 3gb I wouldn't even technically have to port twrp.Give me time but I'm going to try porting twrp for our device.
