What program do I use to flash a KDZ for the MetroPCS Stylo 2 Plus, I want to start playing around with my phone but want to make sure i can flash the phone back to 100% stock. I already have the kdz (10i) but dont have a program to use to flash it, will Flash Tool 2014 work or will i need LGUP, and if i need to use LGUP where do i find the dll file for it to read my model
 
I do know that there is a dll file for the lg. Ms550. That would indicate that the lg up can flash the firmware.

couldn't find i bypass but felt i should give a update lg bridge is trying to load file from the k550(t-mobile version of the lg stylo 2 plus) leading to failing to install the firmwear , unless someone has the dll for the ms550 im out of luck

I have a system.img you can flash in fastboot, i can upload it if you think it'll help

if you wish, but is there a way to get to fastboot, when the phone is bricked? also this happened to a normal ota update, does this phone need to be unlocked? fastboot wont work if it has a locked bootloader, since i cant go into the system to unlock it

To get to fastboot from a powered off state:
Plug in USB chord to computer
Plug phone in while holding Vol Down
 
Also found out lg bridge has an update error recovery option that reflashes the phone if you can boot to download mode (vol up + plug into computer from powered off state)

I tried that, it fails. I'm in the middle of downloading the IMG you gave me, haven't tried it yet but this phone is still bootloader locked and since I can't get into android there is no possibility of unlocking it. Is your system.img still signed? The only chance is if fastboot will allow signed imgs to pass

It should be, its extracted straight from the kdz i posted earlier.
 
You could possibly contact lg and ask them to reflash the phone. They might charge tho, not sure
It's not my phone, if I can't fix it today they are just going to go through MetroPCS, already contacted customer support to get the files needed for lgup, got the response that they don't make the software which is bs
