This makes absolutely no sense. Please explain what you need in proper terms otherwise no one will be able to help you. Also, you might want to read the pinned threads in the general and q&a sections to help you better understand terms and definitions. Good luck.

...I read this post 5 times trying to figure out exactly what you want to do, or even think you can do! Honestly if you don't know anything about rooting then this particular phone will end up as a brick. The bootloader is locked on AT&T S4. No way around it unless you are NOT on MF3 or later... Is your phone actually rooted?? You can't reset the counter anyway.

The bootloader is locked on our phone. You wont be able to downgrade your firmware. What firmware are you current on? I can exlain to you how to get back to stock and rooted with Safestrap and the TWRP version that works for it.

The recovery that works with Safestrap is TWRP. And depending on which firmware you just flashed it will either be version that is specific for that firmware. Do you have Safestrap installed yet?

It should have booted past that screen before waiting the ten minutes. Can you still get in Safestrap? Sometimes you can have a bad download. Try one of the mirrors for the rom link and download again. Or you can try to wipe and flash it again. I had problems with hyperdrive when i tried using it. (Some roms just don't work on some people's phone). Can you try another rom like. Deadly Venom or Google Play? Seems most people have fewer problems getting those installed.

Your best option, and proven to work would be to just reflash your current firmware or downgrade back to MK2. Then root it easily with Saferoot. Then Safestrap it, which comes with TWRP recovery. Once that is done you can either restore a backup of the rom... if you have one on the SD card. Or download the rom again for the firmware you are on.
That's what I would do, (have done) when that happened. None of which is very hard to do either. So... what firmware are you on?

I really wouldn't know how to correctly walk you through with installing Safestrap through ADB because because of the different way it mounts.

I managed to modify a turbo system image file to include tethering on an unlimited data plan. Download it here. Use with Mofo root. This has been confirmed to work for several people, but others are reporting problems. Your mileage may vary.
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF IT BRICKS YOUR PHONE, SETS YOUR HOUSE ON FIRE, EATS YOUR CAT ETC.
Thanks to @aFancyTickler for helping me determine what files to modify.

I'm pretty sure the way I did it if you install xposed installer it should read xposed as installed. You will not be able to install any modules due to write protection. Again no guarantees.
I'm going to be busy for the next few hours. If this is broken you'll have to wait a bit. For your information all I've done is modify the build.prop to include provisioning (for wifi tether) and add the gravitybox app to system apps. I also installed what I believe is the correct file for xposed framework to work. Even if it doesn't the phone should still boot. No promises. Good luck to anyone who chooses to install
Ekkoria said:
I managed to modify a turbo system image file to HOPEFULLY include tethering. This image also potentially has gravitybox baked in if I did everything right, but the wifi tether is much more likely to work because I actually know how that's supposed to work. NO GUARANTEES AS TO EITHER. I DO NOT YET HAVE ACCESS TO A ROOTED TURBO. If you want to test this sucker out, go here. Use with Mofo root.

If you are rooted and bootloader unlocked then you do not need to make a system image file you can flash or make roms.

I know but I have a developer edition and not everyone has one. I want to make a rooted system image, then relock my bootloader and see if this method will work to provide root for those who do not have developer editions.

Ok just a heads up was able to restore phone with original rooted image file
yeah i think the problem may be with the xposed app_process. untill i get my linux all settup , @Ekkoria can just add the modified build prop with tethering to the file for now untill i figure out how to add xposed properly
I am going to watch this thread. I am happy with the turbo other than not being able to tether.
Thx for the development!
Figured I would start a new thread so we don't clog up the recovery thread. I will start new threads depending on the question or comments and how important they are to our device . I hope others will do the same so maybe we get enough post to maybe get a sub forum and hopefully get some developement going

Is there any word of CyanogenMod or any other coustom ROMs for this device yet? Just picked up the LSMG550 this evening. Rooted using the guide in OP (also linked at the bottom of my post)
My question is this; Are there any coustom ROMs, or a bloated stock ROM for the LGMS550 (Metro PCS variant LG G Stylo 2 Plus)? I could not find any in my searches, but that is to say I didn't over look them.

So I have been using my phone rooted with boot loader unlocked... If I re-lock the bootloader does that remove root from the system??.. Sorry, a bit of a noob on this. Secondly, if locking back up the boot loader does not harm root is there a reason one should do so?

I don't think you can run root with bootloader locked,i could be wrong. But if you lock it your phone will probably reset itself to factory so I would think root would be gone. Also don't think the twrp will work with it locked
OK. I wasn't sure. This is first phone I had to Unlock the bootloader to gain root. My previous devices I used king root.. So this whole process of rooting the LG stylo 2 has been a learning experience. Thank you for your help.
How do I install V4A if I can't swipe to allow modifications. I don't want to brick or bootloop.
Nvm figured it out sorry for being a noob
Few tested Xposed module which works on stock ROM:
1) App Setting ( change DPI to 270 safely, anything below that will give you continuous phone app crash), you might have to change the LG system level apps(Phone, contacts, music,camera) DPI to 320 for them to work.
2) GravityBox MM (many options work) including the circle battery, clock,date, data speed indicator

NoOverlayWarning Xposed module.
hey everyone, so ive always at some point when time permitted ended up rooting and putting a custom rom on my phone. So im fairly familiar with unlocking boot loaders and rooting phones and so i started with my sm-g935v. Its terribly laggy and I just threw Oreo on my 2nd device a nexus 6 and its super fast. The lag is killing me. First i knew i had to root so I found a method using Odin flashing a CF root. Boom now when it boots it shows an unlocked lock and says custom. Great, moving on to installing a customer recovery like twrp im finding out no you cant because the bootloader is locked? is this true? is that icon just an indication i modified the system that and thats it. Anyway, reading more seems like this engineering root caused it to be even more laggy and if i turn on wifi forget it, super laggy.
I see some people doing modified stock roms that debloat but are still plague with lag from the root? Does this all add up correctly? Am i able to undo this CF root and just flash stock vzw back so it doesnt show custom when it boots? I was thinking of just trashing it and getting a pixel 2 but i like tinkering and definitely cant handle not finishing a job. This would be my first failed attempt at putting a custom rom on a phone.
TLDR: is it still true to this day i can only root but not unlock bootloader, install custom recovery and put say lineageos on my sm-935v ? the feels man...
Yeah, it's very locked down. We can't unlock the bootloader and we can't root without lag...
Hey guys. First post. Be nice. ?
I AM NOT A DEVELOPER. I FOUND THIS BY ACCIDENT.
I hated how my S7 Edge G935V worked with the engboot. So I stopped using the phone. Figured I'd play around with again and flashed the G935U firmware. After that I rooted by flashing the engboot thinking it may be smoother than on the g935v firmware. Obviously, I was disappointed. In a last ditch desperate attempt I flashed the stock BL file from the G935U firmware and lo and behold, it worked. I have NO LAG AND ROOT!
EDIT
When I flashed the BL file I checked "phone bootloader update" on Odin.

I am on this rom right now: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...sungpay-norootrequiredtoinstallorrun-t3748717
It is unrooted until you want to make changes, you apply root, make changes, and turn off root and you can continue using apps that won't work with root. Plus you don't get the root lag because you won't be on root all the time.
I will miss custom roms, but this is a great alternative.

Correct me if I'm wrong. I believe the lag is from the eng boot, not root access. Correct? If so, who cares if you can root and unroot?

I have used the firmware files from this post on xda.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/at...7-0-g935uoym4bqd2-4-11-17-g935u-t3616834/amp/
Download G935U ODIN Firmware
Thanks @MafiaIlluminati
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120745969
I used PrinceComsys Odin.
Download Link.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1AQuCcQ3MFskTc4yj_WODUYsZ1DGdHaKT/view?usp=drivesdk
1. I flashed my g935v with these firmware files. (I was already rooted with ENGBOOT so I checked "Phone Bootloader Update" in odin).
2. After that, I flashed the engboot.
Engboot Download

3. Then I rooted. Download the file below.

Then follow this method from @jrkruse. (Just the root part).
https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-s7-edge/how-to/root-method-nougat-t3566978
4. Then I flashed the BL file in the BL slot from the g935u firmware with odin and checked "Phone Bootloader Update"
Congratulations! You are ROOTED WITH NO LAG!
I would love to see reports from others who were able to do this successfully, and what their experience is like afterward.

Somebody on another thread is testing. He made a mistake last night as I guess I wasn't clear in my instructions. I think he will give it another go.
I have been using this this phone for 2 days and it is AWESOME! updated all stock apps to s8 apps, deodexed with lucky patcher, installed xposed, and gravity box works beautifully. All will absolutely NO LAG! Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help.

I have done this as well and it works fine but I am getting conflicted speed tests. I am going to try some different CPU configurations to see if I can't get it running smoother. I really do think @ars18 is on to something here.
These were some of my first results but we are messaging back and forth to make sure the directions i was able to follow and that i am not messing anything up. I am a simple man and not as smart as most you ?.
I've just flashed back to stock and set my phone how I wanted it because of the lag from the ENG boot.img...now I find this and I'm tempted to wipe/redo everything... Subscribed to this thread so I can read more thoroughly when I get to work on Monday.
After new BL
This is the screen shot after I flashed the suggested bootloader @ars18 suggested.

What app is that?
---------- Post added at 08:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:38 PM ----------
Nvm I found it. Did a test on stock rom/no root. Not bad results.

***I've tried adding the picture as an attachment through the XDA app but it's giving me a bad request error so I just used imgur.
I flashed the full G935T Firmware to my Verizon S7 (G935V), and I've not had any problems, rooted or not. I'm only saying this because the verizon s7 device can actually accept any firmware designed for a US Galaxy S7. It isn't a secret or anything. I really have all 4 firmware files for the G935T installed to my G935V right now no questions asked in ODIN. It's been this way for like a year now. Full Operations, no bugs.
My question is, how is it that all the carriers colluded to lock the device down in the same way. Who is actually responsible for this? Can all 5 Firmware versions available to this device really be locked in the same manner with no loophole manageable? I don't get it.
It really makes me feel like there was an effort outside of the OEM's/Carriers to make sure the Galaxy Devices starting with the S6 would never fully be root-able. It makes me feel like when ChainFire gave up on Samsung, all of sudden the devices are no longer unlock-able like they used to be. Is this just coincidence in the order of events regarding root and newer devices?

Thats not a bad rating at all. When I was using the eng_bootload file it was down around 6 and my cpu was always running high. Battery was crap and phone got hot soo easy. If you want to include your image in the post all you need to do is wrap the img in the square brackets like other forums the [ and ]. (IMG "Image Info")http link here(/IMG) but instead of the half circle use the half square.
Crap I think I just confused everyone including myself. Anyhow there is also a paper clip icon you can upload images right to this site or there is an icon with a sun and mountains, that lets you embed images like below this writing.

Wait, is there no way to resize the image inside the BBCode? What is this vbulletin? Time to google I suppose. Sorry about the large image folks, I will try and have it fixed soon.
Not sure if u followed my method exactly. My phone is PERFECT
---------- Post added at 02:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:21 AM ----------
The reason why my method shouldn't work is because of the fact that doing this should make the phone unbootable. Usually the phone will recognize that it is played around with. That's why this is so awesome. STOCK AND ROOTED!
Just to make sure I understand this, you're using the stock Verizon firmware on the phone, but with the booloader from the unlocked firmware, and it works (and it has an unlocked bootloader)?
Is there a way to do this without wiping the phone (and having to reinstall all apps and settings)? Can that be done by using HOME_CSC instead of CSC?

I have the verizon g935v.
I'm using the stock unlocked version of the s7 edge firmware G935U. The flash the ENGBOOT and root. After that, flash the BL file from the unlocked firmware while checking "phone bootloader update" in Odin. Can't think of a way to do this without wiping.

Aha - so you're *not* using the Verizon firmware.
The Current Latest TWRP for the v10 H901, v3.2.1, done by TWRPbuilder, was missing many options and settings,
For the most part it worked, but screen settings was wrong, my device about overheated and I like to have my screen
blink off after 60 secs..
So I took the latest STOCK N source and used the twrpbuilder.jar file to create a device tree from the STOCK Recovery..
edited the device tree to allow everything to work like it should. then built TWRP, tested and works......
Downloads:
twrp_v3.2.1_recovery_pplus-H901_210180529.tar.xz
NOTE:This is not a Flashable FILE, Make sure you extract it first: Its a ".img" file:
Device Source:https://github.com/LG-V10/v10_pplus-H901_TWRP_device
If anyone remembers me, I did hold on to my v10 this whole time.. but as I said before, the famous LG Bootloop got my V10, and LG fully Replaced it free of charge and it came back with Nougat, which means No root,
I seen that someone came up with root for it.. so I finally rooted it.. but needed to fix that twrp you all had....
also I sold my HTC10, after doing everything I could over there.. I got tired of HTC, and wanted to give LG another chance.. some say im crazy, but I love challenges..
anyhow I also bought a LG G6 for a good price....... and im not sure if I will get the g7 yet.. still going to wait a bit and see what happends.......
I just hope my freshly built TWRP seems to work better for you all that try it.......
Since I left v10 a while back, I also started a ROM, Yeah, PureFusionOS is mine.. I was main Founder of it......... with over 10k installs.
Dont believe me? Look for your self: https://stats.purefusionos.com/
We havent done much since last year.. but just now currently working on updates and kinda waiting on P.................
maybe I can bring it to this device.. who knows..
Nice to have you back!

LG removed the fastboot flash commands starting with mm, leaving us with an unlockable bootloader that we can do nothing with.
This is the only working twrp install for nougat. https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-v10/general/root-h901-nougat-t3773942

I never said it wasn't. I was only explaining that LG removed the flashing commands from fastboot (they only left us with the unlock command and a few other non destructive commands (like getvar)), and that you will need to thoroughly read read read the thread I linked and follow the instructions to a T or you will run the risk of bricking your phone. LG really made it easy to brick this phone if you don't know what you are doing. That thread does state that you shouldn't brick, but if you don't get it right you'll have to flash the kdz (which is linked in another thread somewhere) to start over.

Please use the proper thread for help. This one is only for this build of twrp itself, the other one is for installing twrp. That is where people can help you with using the bootable FWUL usb flash drive img.

Once you have the other twrp installed (https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-v10/general/root-h901-nougat-t3773942) boot to twrp and flash the twrp.img from this thread after you extract it from the .tar. The same way you would upgrade any twrp, so really no instructions needed. You could also substitute this .img in those instructions. Once you've rooted a few different kinds of phones some of these kinds of things will make sense to you and just become second nature. Don't get discouraged, you'll get it.

If your on any firmware above 10c LG only gave us the fastboot unlock command, the fastboot boot and fastboot flash commands have been removed. This has been stated many times and in many threads. It has also been stated before to use the proper threads for asking questions, which is one of the rules of xda.
This thread is for the development of this version of twrp.
Those of us that have been rooting since day 1 understand that every phone is different and rooting evolves with the tighter security from the oems. Many of us started with windows phones here on xda before Android was born, or nokia "smart" phones before that.

Honestly if you have to ask how to install twrp, I wouldn't recommend flashing it at all....
if you been doing this for years, then you would know that how to install it requires ROOT or some special way since this is the T-mo threads meaning H901,
BTW peepz, if you think gaining root for the v10 is a trick in its self, try the G6 way.. talk about risky business there.. by the same person..............
NOTE: that doesnt mean TRY the G6 way on the v10,
anyhow. you can flash twrp through your already made recovery or some app that has root......
I flashed this twrp through the recovery that I get when I used the ROOT method on latest ROM......................
I just didnt like the fact that half the options were missing........... I did do another build.. but I didnt release that yet on here.....
if anyone is still having issues, maybe I should upload the other build for you to try..

too bad that we couldnt downgrade to mm. that would be so much easier. lol
I just got hit with the infinite bootloop on my device unfortunately, and modified this twrp image to only use the little cluster: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=818222786056035329 . The cmdline additions are only: maxcpus=4 boot_cpus=0-3. Just in case anyone else wants it
Edit: given the prevalence of this bug, I'd honestly recommend people just keep a 4core twrp flashed on their device for if/when they run into it so it's easier to deal with.
