[roadkill42]

If you are on zv3 on ur phone software

 

[roadkill42]

Only way I see doing this is to modify an update that comes to the phone so u can flash it with lgup and have root

I don't need it I have the j7 don't like LG phones can't even root them anymore sucks

 

[angelfire226]

On another note, I could get a Boost mobile version of this Stylo 2 and root that instead, then do a IEMI number clone so it would work on virgin....

Which Boost versions are rootable? I'm still running zv4. I've been waiting forever for root...

 

[roadkill42]

If u have zv3 then u can get root im on zv4 still trying to root i have an idea but dont know how to make it work. If i can find a way to make to be able to flash the laf partion from the zv3 using stock recovery then we can get root it would enable bootloader so can get twrp and root i need help from a dev who knows how to do this

why you don't just flash the aboot.img so u can get the fastboot commands support again ..

 

[roadkill42]

If knew how to do it i would how do i get that file and how to make it flash wit stock recovery?can u pm me on how i can go about this i do have a copy of the kdz zv3 file think its in there i dont know what program i need to get it?

Yeah i tried myself and its a no go. If we can twrp going then we can boot into via fastboot and flash superuser.zip if im not mistaking. I had original stylo im pretty sure it worked for that device. I wonder how different twrp would have to be to be compatible with this device

I cant find a twrp for lg ls775(sprint variant) and no matter what i try both with stylo 2 and with the lg g flex 2 it says 'unknown bootloader' how can you unlock something that you cant find info on?

 

[Riku1408]

Not quite a root method but I was able to edit the APN of LS775 ZV9 with my octoplus lg dongle today with their latest test software...I maybe able to remotely do it for people I will have to figure out how to do it first...it requires a special driver that acts as a usb driver over the internet so its just remoting to the device, not a full remote desktop...

If u figure it out ill let u try it out on my phone. Its no longer active so im not worried if it gets messed up

 

[Riku1408]

Try king root it temp but can get rid of the bloat ware

Kingroot and kingoroot failed on my ls775

 

[Riku1408]

Mine only worked till reboot but i cant ever download the su binary but i think it because i cant unlock my bootloader

When i open su app it says su binary is out of date. Is yours saying the same?

 

[roadkill42]

Great! Now make us a rooted unlocked rom we can flash easily without bricking. We expect a fully functional rom by tomorrow morning. 🤣
But seriously, don't update it!

Ahhh, was unboxing it, checked and saw the ZV3 just moments before typing that response to roadkill. Since then, tried kingroot (latest one 5.1) with only 22 requests in....
adb reboot bootloader just boots back to desktop....
volume down while plugging usb in gets LG Logo screen then powers back off...
volume down with power button until LG Logo sreen, releasing power then pressing again does not go to recovery.............
Sound familiar?
ahh well, definitely not taking any updates this time though! ZV3 until someone gets this phone rooted!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, the LG Stylo 2 came with ZV4 rite outta the box with the ZV5 update waiting. This LG Stylo 3 has ZV3 with an update waiting... but this time I'm not doing the updates!
I gotta hook the laptop up to my new Asus router to set it up in a bit & will put the new Kingroot on it & try...
Going to send them an email reminding how kingroot worked on the 2 on zv3 so hopefully they can whip up something for this 3 on zv3... temps all I need to get kingroot switched to cfSuperSU!
Just dumping the bloat and a few root apps would make this the best phone available for the $$$!

 

[roadkill42]

I'm on the zte elite haven't given up on stylo2 had to change carrier no job I used the kingo root for PC got temp root might work on the stylo3

Does this help at all? Something called RootingCheckActivity is kinda suspect...
