Hello, I have the TMobile lg-g2 4.2.2 d80110c, I have tried my best and followed all of the guides I could in this forum and others, but never succeed in rooting my phone.
I have the stock rom and cant go into recovery, only hard reset, and when using ioroot my phone just restartes.
When using another root guide, the cmd window just closes after a few seconds, there was even one in which I got all the way to the end and installed superuser only to find out with rootchecker that I didn't actually succeed in the rooting proccess.
towelroot does not work either, neither does any guide i found on the internet.
I have also tried to soft reset the device and then try to root it but again I arrived at the same results.
Does anyone have any idea of why this isnt working for me? or what am missing?
thanks

Did you already unlock the boot loader?
No variant of the lg g2 has an unlockable bootloader all g2s are Loki patched very little difference but its not a good idea to confuse the two you can end up with a brick you should try reflashing the stock ROM maybe there is something weird going on
sent from my T-Mobile LG-VS980
Update ROM
I think towel root is not working for you because you are on 80110c. IOroot unfortunately does not work on the T Mobile D 801. Try updating to at least 80110g. You will need the AutoRec apk to install custom recovery http://www.droidviews.com/install-twrp-recovery-on-lg-g2-running-android-4-4-2-kitkat/
Hope this helps.
ok, so there are some things i've found out by doing some research and combining what i found on here with the issues that some people were having with the Cricket version of the LG Stylo, and would like to share with you guys. while i was rooting my phone with kingroot, i noticed a threat that discussed that using supersu me and supersu wasn't an option without soft bricking your phone with a boot loop, after some research and trial i figured out how to get around the problem. The issue was the uninstallation of kinguser app form the phone, this is because using supersu me uninstalls kingroot and replaced it with the superuser binaries, but it leaves some core files of kinguser behind which causes errors, an if you keep your phone on, you'll notice that you'll start getting error messages for an about kingroot permission and all types of errors until your phone starts to freeze and act up. there is an easy fix for it all that worked for me, and would like to share this information and help people having this issue.....
I'm posting this as a hint for those who needed the help with installing xposed on cricket model LG STYLO only running 5.1.1
so to begin, download system repair 2016 and apps2sd from play store, kinguser directly from their site so it will be the latest version,,,root your phone,,,,,don't delete the kinguser apk you downloaded you'll need it for later,,,,now install supersu me from the play store and open and run it, it'll uninstall kinguser and replace the binaries for superuser, this is where its gonna become tricky,,,,,,download supersu and run which will ask for update of binaries also let it finish updating and uninstall the supersu me control,,,,,now open apps2sd and clear the davik cache and other caches without restarting,,,,then run system repair 2016, it'll show that you had a few errors because kinguser hates the fact that supersu me uninstalled it and left messed up configurations on your phone, then clear the davik cache again, now you have to use the same kinguser apk you get at the start of the process and reinstall it to your phone, or else you will be getting a boot loop issue......for some reason even though all the caches are cleared and the system has been checked for errors, the kinguser app installs itself as a system app, a dependency if you will, like a basic LG/Cricket app that if you uninstall will cause errors, so but reinstalling it we stop that problem, you can run it but don't need to activate the root option of kinguser......this will cause the kinguser permission errors to stop also from this point only you can restart your phone,,,,,now you're able to install flashfire and xposed frameworks, and even restart your phone without worry of boot looping since there isn't much support for the LG-H634 stylo model.........:angel::angel:
hope this was helpful for you guys that was in need of replacing kinguser, and installing xposed framework, i've not tried anything further with the twrp install but keep a look out for the names "vegito6" "vegito69" ....and wish me luck on twrp

Have you guys any luck with a recovery method? And think you for helping I'll do my best with what I have. Also idk if I mentioned it earlier but when I reboot lg symbol appears but (authentication failed #9) appears below it. It was roted via king root and didn't o anything but remove some bloatware.

I'm pretty sure that you ended up with brick because you didn't unlock your bootloader before backing up. My girlfriend did the same thing. As of right now I'm trying to figure out If there's a way past the bootloader or at least a way to do everything the bootloader can do without unlocking it.
Original Firmware
Can we not flash the original firmware via download mode ? I had this phone (bought from a friend, cricket sim unlocked, phone bricked while i was playing around. )
I'm not super familiar with LG phones, but i keep hearing about a KDZ , is that some kind of official image format ?
If we can flash it for stock via download mode, can someone direct me as to where I might find instructions for our variant of the device, please ?
I was able to replace Kingroot with SuperSu using a guide I found on a website called w0lfdroid, I think. I just Google 'replace Kingroot with SuperSu and it was the second one down (I'm a new user so I can't post the link). I think it worked pretty well, but I'm still not able to flash TWRP or start the process to get xposed. If I can't get it, I might unroot and try the process again with this method.
as anyone with brick try this http://lg-firmware-rom.com/downloads/lg-g-stylo-h634-stock-tot-firmware-v10g/ , they offer files for unbricking, $40 bucks
what do you guys think

works great, after flashing with LG Flash tools tot method just take out battery and wait 5sec, and put it back in and turn on, android logo will show and then it will boot normally, now i'm back to working on the supersu install methods to help people from bricking, wish me luck . also backing up boot img and then trying to use super sume to switch to still will cause boot looping to my knowledge. got 2 phones working on it, thanks to our annonomous LG guys for the unbricking

well not really, because if you go into the developer options there is the oem bootloader unlock you can select, not sure but i've got a cricket and boost version i've been working on it for a while, for some reason the phone doesn't like the way SU gets injected into the phone, and writes things to the wrong areas, i've been playing with some scripts for superuser installers from zip, hopefully i get a hit.

I noticed there is no solution posted. I recently bricked my phone and fixed it, thanks to you. I was simply wondering of there has been progress with getting the framework installed. Your help is much appreciated.
So I'm sort of confused... I cannot install xposed, and can't seem to find a work around. I am rooted but not with kingroot. I used a one click root tool on pc, and works great... Using su that is suggested using in this guide, so no trace of king root. Idk, could someone give me a quick run down on how to install xposed?
So no luck with installing xposed yet
So far I am rooted with Super SU and have exposed installer I'm just having a hard time getting the framework installed. I do not have custom recovery installed. Is there any way to flash the framework zip file with like flashify or another app like that?
I recently purchased an LG Stylo 2. It just came out and I am looking to root it. However, I have not found a way to root it, both manually and through any one-click software. I had an LG Volt before this, that I rooted manually. However, I have yet to come across any method to rooting the LG Stylo 2. Is there any method as of late?
nothing yet

TWRP / Bootloader

Heya - Yeah the boot loader will unlock from ads fastboot in a sec. the fastboot on the phone (I have the ms550 Metro version) is crippled, however. it will not fastboot boot so you can't just grab a twrp and test it by throwing it at it. I would like to test more, I'm willing to flash whatever since I know the download mode will let us fix all....I'm just trying to get a kdz file so I can have it in the background just in case I totally F it up
Obviously without the twrp I can't flash any of the su versions.
My spidey sense tells me it's not that far away for us. Just be patient. I love the phone ( I liked my G Stylo as well)

If I'm not mistaken I believe the phones are pretty much the same specs still aside from the camera. I have a bootable TWRP. If you run ATB you can boot into this trip without installing it I'd be more than happy to upload it for you guys. I believe the original maker was either Game Theory or DrakenFX.

It's worth a shot since download mode will fix anything but you just need that kdz file

Can you do that for us along with instructions? I'm kinda scared to do anything with my Stylo 2 since its basically untested and it is my daily driver.
Here ya go...boot zip with instructions
When you are supposed to boot the zip... Type in : fastboot boot.zip instead of twrpblah blah blah....i renamed it to be easier
Any way to flash this twrp thing your talking about without a comp..ill be honest ive only just started to root the last couple phones i owned and have tried to flash any kernels or roms or custom recoverys...but i really want to change up this stylo 2..and the opting out of adpotable storage lg sony and few others did is drove me crazy..i wish i woulds known before i bought this dumb thing

I'm confused. Does installing TWRP get us any closer to root? I mean it's good to be able to get a backup, but it's really root that I want.
Style 2
If boot loader is unlocked in a sence u can get root by pushing su right? And how do u get into factory recovery?
In the event that this fails (Since I have the Stylo 2 and not the Stylo) and my phone bricks, is there a program to de-brick?
Hmm, When I type in "adb reboot bootloader", my phone reboots. back to the lockscreen.
Mine does to I can put it in fast boot with out the PC but then can't get PC to find it that way
i have modified LGUP to flash individual partitions, but being as i do not own the G6 i cannot test it out for myself. if someone would like to test out possibly being the world's first G6 user with TWRP on it please respond to this!
EDIT: I have gotten a tester and my modded LGUP will dump the partitions of the device, but will not write yet...

Ok now where is the file? i'm new with g6 always do nexus give the instruction and i will test for you i'm ready to test and root my great first Android phone without root and i'm love how its work with out i can't imagine with root!!!!
If you upload the files with some instructions I can test it. How likely is it to brick the phone? Assuming it's only trying to flash a recovery it shouldn't be too hard to fix if anything goes wrong, but I just want to be safe.
This is my first LG device so some instructions on all the LGUP stuff would be appreciated.
Ok . I have unlocked my bootloader. What do you me to test?
Hi, i hope this is the right forum, i am a noobie at LG flashing, been reading some, but it is a little confusing (coming from Oneplus One), so i bought an LG V20 - US996, and i thought i could unlock the bootloader via LG Developers website, so i started the process, install drivers, follow the instructions, etc. then when i submitted IMEI and device id i got an error, message, stating :your device (TEST_GPIN) does not support unlocking bootloader", i emailed LG with the question but still no answer, so i did a little research and found out that my phone is a demo unit or something like it. on the inside sticker it says "not for sale" the model on the sticker is US996. i have attached some screens that show software versions etc.
so basically i would like to know if anyone knows if i am out of luck and cant unlock the bootloader to flash twrp and root, or if it can be done, and point me in the right direction, any help will be greatly appreciated.
i obviously would not want to brick my device, but am willing to try to unlock if possible.
thanks.
That's very interesting. Wondering if that's the model the debug bootloader was pulled from to root the US carrier v20's. I'm not an expert in this but have you tried to flash the us99610f (Dec 1 2016 sec patch) kdz using LG UP. That should put you on official LG firmware that is still rootable. The kdz will flash every piece of firmware getting you off of that demo firmware. From there you could try to unlock the bootloader again using LGs website, or worst case use dirtysanta to root the phone if you wish. There's a hacked lgup thread somewhere in the guide section that should do the trick.
thanks toastyp, i will download 10f, and look for the hacked lgup.

Glad everything worked for you. I would try to root using LGs official unlock.bin method as it will be the easiest way to root the phone. Plus you get to keep your stock bootloader which is potentially helpful in the event LG implements ARB on the us996. If it still doesn't work you can try the dirty elf thread. I believe it's the dirtysanta method for the us996. This process will flash a debug bootloader with full fastboot commands that is unlocked. From there you can flash twrp normally.
https://www.google.com/amp/s/forum....0-h915us996-dirtyelf-bootloader-t3568013/amp/
thanks toastyp, LG official unlock still not working, as i guess the IMEI is still recognized as from a demo unit, i will try dirty elf method, might take a while since my home pc just died (mobo or cpu) anyway , as soon as i can i will try it.
thanks.
