It worked for me. You just have to follow the instructions very closely. I saw a lot of comments saying the script for removing the malware didnt work for them.
If not done right, the script shows a bunch of denied permissions, removes the Kingroot app as well as root access. Run Kingroot a second time with a script handler app and it should work. Second malware app is left behind when finished, just simply uninstall it.

Root success.
 
Thank you, it worked for me as well. Question: Where did TWRP App go? When do I use it? Do I need to flash every App I download? When do I back up?
Thanks.
 
I hit yes when ss asked to update but the it says if im recovering to normal ot twrp? Above on the structions it says it will say reboot so im not sure if im supposed install twrp or what.. Lg g stylo
 
Ok i did that and it said there other superusers and if it wanted me to uninstall.. I followed as best i could.. Grrr
 
Okay so you're rooted and have SuperSU, yes you definitely want to flash twrp. I'd recommend making a backup of everything from within twrp as well. Remember twrp is only for the Metro and T-Mobile Stylo, nothing else.
 
I have everything done but I get secure boot error after flashing twrp recovery img. I noticed the recovery destination. Flashify is set to a temp file location. Any way to change the destination?
 
That doesn't matter, you have to have allow OEM unlock checked in settings that's it.
 
Ok got it. Haven't bothered to root anything in a while. Have a note 3 and never needed to root it. Got a stylo and it needs root and debloating
 
Oh I hear that.... Just a heads up Marshmallow is out, if you have a T-Mobile Stylo, you can also flash a T-Mobile kdz on a Metro phone and get it.... If you're interested, rooting could probably be put off
