Root [TWRP][2.8.7.0][MS345] TWRP for LG Leon MetroPCS

[Bichofelix]

Is there no way to get into recovery while the phone is off?

Use factory reset combo. Power off, hold vol+ and power. As soon as you see lg logo, release and re-press power until you see factory reset. Press yes then yes. It won't reset if you use twrp. Cwm would actually factory reset.

We are not building for T-mobile at the moment. After we can get everything worked out and a release for Metro posted we will consider adding support for T-Mobile, but until then, we are sticking with the Metro variant of the Leon

Anyone have the recovery in a zip format? Twrp manager won't finish downloading and the site only has image which twrp manager just tells me isn't a zip file

Vol-/power, release then press again not working to get in twrp. Whats the timing besides "when lg logo appears" for this? Working on getting development together and need access to twrp with phone off

You literally stare at the screen and the moment the lg logo pops up, you release and then PRESS & HOLD POWER AGAIN IMMEDIATELY.

Or, ya know see the thread i posted because every other instruction was very unclear. Thank you though, your the first to almost precisely explain how to get there.

To anyone working on development for the Metro PCS LG Leon MS345: I have one that's rooted with TWRP and a couple recent Nandroid backups available on a 32gb SD card. Cracked the screen and switching service to a free SG Light tomorrow morning. Phone is as functional as it was before hitting a cement wall at roughly 40mph, just running on WiFi now. Saw some posts looking for crash test dummies and I'm always looking for a way to learn more about roms and all related areas of study so if you have need testing I'd be happy to help as much as I can, keeping in mind that I don't care if this phone ends up completely ruined but would like to get some educational value from it if possible (it was free btw). Not a total noob but definitely noobish with lots of free time, common sense and multiple devices to practice on (LG Volt, SG Victory, SG Tab 4 & LG Leon). No experience with ADB as of yet. Proficient in flashing, recovery, reading and following directions blah blah blah. Just wanted to see if I could help and get a little guidance from anyone willing to answer an occasional pm or two when a question arises that I'm unable to resolve on my own. If not, no worries. The offer is always on the table. Sorry for the short novel here. Just wanted to explain the situation clearly the first time around. Take it easy, y'all ✌

This TWRP works just fine on the T-Mobile H345. Some friends of mine have the TMO versions and I rooted and flashed the MS345 TWRP (latest from this thread) and it works no problem. Successfully backs up and restores, flashes zips etc. Safe for TMO varient
