I still don't understand why I'm not receiving the OTA.

You can either keep waiting for the ota to your phone which will lock your bootloader, or update with the method in this thread. This method is better since it keeps your bootloader unlocked.

If you have no interest in root or unlocked bootloader then you can ask about the ota in the non root section in this thread...

Alright guys I extracted the android 5.1.1 firmware update for the Metro PCS & T-Mobile LG G Stylo. This will update you to the new firmware version which is lollipop 5.1.1. Simple flashing instructions.

!!! You should update with this method to avoid getting your bootloader locked !!!

All downloads and instructions are on my website in the following link...

Is this only for LG style
 
Hey ive used your method from back at xda and it runs great. One question, i noticed its taking up some battery but not to worried about it. The tmobile.pr.adapt. i see it needs root access quite often. Id open it myself but im working 12's and no ambition at the moment. But awesome job, glad i read about it before an update was available yo dl.
 
Ok. I have never rooted before and really wanted to get the best out of this phone. I know going custom (root) is the answer. At the same time, this message jusst came up saying "restart & install" at the end. Do i still have the coice to root now since i didn't do that?
Also, can someone point me to a "root for dummies" for this device that they can trust?

if you install that OTA your bootloader will be locked and you wont be able to do any customization.

I was still a little curious if you passed this up. I see the thread is getting busy. [emoji4]
 
Not sure if this is reassuring or if I'm just lucky, but I haven't had any tmobile.pr.adapt activity in a couple of days now.

Can you still flash stock roms?

If your bootloader is locked You wont be able to install TWRP. SO you wont be able to flash anything. Also "One Click Root" isn't working with the OTA update from the phone. It's only working with the pulled update that GameTheory made.

I installed the update from this thread on my Metro Stylo the first few days it ran fine then all of a sudden phone started to become real sluggish and would just restart randomly, anyone else having this issue, i did not install any new apps after i installed the update, i was forced to restore the backup i had made and it runs perfectly again, im kinda stumped why this is happening any insight on this would be greatly appreciated, have a great evening folks!
