METRO PCS LG G STYLO Users: Update To Marshmallow

[xyourxhighnessx]

I def. Need tarp before I try xposed.

Xposed has been finicky since lollipop and many users have soft bricked their phones with it.

Same as T-Mobile. Only difference between the two is the software. You basically have the T-Mobile Stylo now. If you had read the thread it's confirmed working on any stylo on 6.0, Metro or T-Mobile.
And the root guide is the first thread in the root section. That gets you rooted and TWRP.

 

[xyourxhighnessx]

I understand for root. But what about twrp and closed? I've only seen methods for those for 5.1.1. But I assume marshmallow is a different process?

 

[Blu8]

Have you read the root thread? All of this is explained there. Xposed is the same as the one you install for Lollipop.

A little birdy asked for this helpful thread to be stuck above the forum.
So be it

/stuck!

Kind of a dumb question, but can you go back to the Metro stock when you do this? Or are you stuck with the T-Mobile stuff?

 

[Blu8]

You can go back and forth as much as you want, just flash whatever kdz you want

 

[Alex Roach]

Ah ok, so I just have to flash the Metro .kdz...that's the info I was looking for. Thank you.
Ugh, now I don't know which .kdz to use....

 

[zimlokks]

question, why do we need a PC with Internet connect? , I usually tether my phone, which wouldn't work while flashing and stuff, i don't have an actual internet connection at my house.

@zimlokks I found that when trying to use the LG Flash Tool without internet, i was unable to select English as the language after selecting different country.

@zimlokks I found that when trying to use the LG Flash Tool without internet, i was unable to select English as the language after selecting different country.

I noticed that also but it didnt stop me from flashing. It went through normal as if i had selected english and United States.

 

[zimlokks]

I did a bad thing rooted before i knew if fastboot would work and well i got a security error. I fixed it again by simply re doing the whole procces. Which sucks but i got my marshmallow. Thanks!!!

 

[new2this85]

Worked flawlessly! Thanks so much!

 

[Nickforever216]

I look through this thread and didn't see anyone ask. So here I ask now. Tmobile version came out first. I flashed that on my metropcs. Would it be safe to flash this version? Would I have to do anything different? I just wanna be on right Software for my specific carrier.

 

[Blu8]

It doesn't matter you'll get T-Mobile bloat but you can root and delete it

 

[slatonyam]

Thank you. Very easy to follow and yes it works!!

 

[hubsabubs]

Was quite easy actually, used that lg flash tool you linked us to, downloaded the LP 5.1.1 MS631v10j.kdz from the page you linked to, flashed the phone to stock, set it up as a new device and went to check update and let it download the OTA Marshmallow update. Boom. Marshmallow.

 

[unbreakable360]

Woke up to this seems official. Questions... Upon receiving my phone I rooted lp 5.1.1 with king root and flashed twrp succesfully ...right after root I backed up Rom with bloatware. I later found katana Rom so I flashed it successfully to my surprise it came with su root over king root I was surprised but works perfectly. Now my question is if I flash my 5.1.1 rooted backup could I apply update over it or do I need to be bone stock? I ask because I remember android system was able to apply update over root as long as all original apps were installed so need to know if this still holds true. tia

 

[Blu8]

Nope, have to go back to complete stock, even if you haven't deleted any apps the root binaries are still there, it won't install. Also you need to have the stock recovery to take an OTA, so there's that as well.

And of course my dumb ass goes right away and tries to install the new update (OTA) and I takes me straight to TWRP and at that point I just wanted to kill my self cause now when I reboot it won't show the notification to do the update again even though it didn't even update for me. Currently I am going back to stock recovery and trying to figure out a way I can get that notification to come back so I can install it. If you know a way I could that would be great!

This was a great experience, well written and easy to follow. Thanks to everyone for your hard work and dedication.

Im super stoked this guide worked well for everyone. My wife has the mpcs stylo no root and received the MM update this morning. Does anyone know if stock MM can be rooted yet?
