Allegedly you can root with kingroot but you will have to enable oem unlock in developer settings and oem unlock via fastboot.
I have the Metro PCS Stylo 2 and KingRoot does NOT work. I have enabled oem unlock and unlocked the bootloader with fast boot, also usb debugging. KingRoot just tells me no methods available then shows me a number of people who have requested root and says the number isn't enough lol. Eventually it will happen.
I might look into building a twrp but redoing my machine now so don't know if I will get around to 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 wish someone would find a way to root it. I hate not being able to have my LG Stylo 2 LGLS775 not rooted 
I love this phone, its great. But would love to have it rooted as well

That's because it is a relatively new phone and not a lot of people have it. LG released the Stylo 2 PLUS a few months after the Stylo 2 so more people are probably going for the newer phone. Not the best marketing decision.

I might get this phone and if the bootloader can be unlocked and we can get root I can build a TWRP recovery for it and port over CM.

The specs are pretty nice on this phone.
I have a Alcatel OneTouch Fierce XL right now but we can't find the bootloader to unlock it so no recovery and [emoji47]
