So the LG Stylo 4 is a beautiful budget smartphone and i cant find any information on it here at xda so i figured i would start a thread for people to go to and discuss getting root on this device. Anyone with any experience or if anyone thinks the root process for another lg phone might work with this phone and is willing to test out and report back let us all know.
LG Stylo 4 root?

It certainly could get PIe, but it won't be soon.
Like I said, the Oreo firmware for the Arista 2 showed up on this site 5 weeks before the firmware dropped.

Maybe it's just me, but I prefer to live in the real world.
and in the real world, there has yet to be a plausible report with any proof of anyone actually rooting a Stylo 4.

There was some security update today however it didnt change the android version so unexpected updates roll out?
There has to be a way to exploit something or a backdoor to root this phone! One of the best devices I have ever owned that I can't fully customize the way I want

I seriously doubt that there could ever be a bootloader unlocking software or service that uses the same method on ALL devices because of how much difference there is between android devices and how each of their bootloaders function based on how they are built/coded.
I suspect that software might be a scam of some kind, or at least it probably can't do the things it says. More than likely, it is fake, I didn't see anywhere to download the software. I would be willing to wager that the page you linked is just bait to direct you to some kind of survey that never leads to the actual download, basically, a scam for someone to make money from ads.

What @Droidriven said !!
A bootloader unlock code generator supporting a half dozen different manufacturers ??
About as likely as being struck by lightning at the epicenter of a 9.0 earthquake in the eye of a cat 5 hurricane
So?
everyone has just given up on this phone, eh?
i don't understand why lg would do something like this.
its really sad that a good looking phone like that of the lg stylo 4 is unrootable and locked.
i mean seriously. this phone costed half the price of the Xiaomi PocoPhone F1. and manages to get a damn snapdragon 845 crammed in there for 350 bucks. i might trash the lg stylo 4 and get a PocoPhone F1.

yeah, im not supporting lg anymore. they are very sneaky people. and im not gonna support them if they wont even let us gain more administrative privs to further customize our devices. its settled. im going to pocophone f1 for 350 bucks. i dont have time for their petty bull****
No wonder why LG is losing phone business.
Moto has decent community support and the phone is rather easy to root

I hate this phone
I hate this phone because I love it. I love everything abut it, the low price, the specs, the overall design- it's great. But as an android user of 10+ years, there are a few things I come to expect, and even require, from any new phone that I purchase. This phone meets everything on my personal checklist, including but not limited to the headphone jack, expandable storage, and great battery life. However being unable to access the files and modify MY PHONE that I own, is just unacceptable. I will be returning this device as soon as possible and switching to a more user friendly device. I will be avoiding purchasing LG phones in the future and I encourage all of you reading this to do the same. Until root is achieved this phone should be avoided.

yeah its really sad. all we want is root and its not even scratching the surface. lg will never support this phone. maybe some clever developer will come up with some solution.
only time will tell.
I don't know if this will help, but I found this website. It's an app that's supposed to act like a root. I also read a section where it'll allow gain access to system file that are only accessible through root. I'm not very technically inclined, but maybe someone who is could see if there's anything useful for this phone.
I can't post links right now but if you search "android for hackers wonderhowto proot" it should be the first one. It is on bing.

6Hey, just a status update. If you want root and/or custom ROMs on a Stylo 4, do not update beyond 20c and disable automatic updates. Currently working on porting TWRP, but as it stands I have what is effectively a bootloader unlock method. Release will be no sooner than June though but I'm hoping to have everything streamlined for the Stylo 4 /5 (and other LG phones) by then. https://twitter.com/ShinyQuagsire/status/12397499461418065926
friend just hold on,developers are going to surprise u, cos we are working hard to provide solution for this...i just a matter of time; soon u can root, unlock your device, do /customize whatever you want, we never back down NBD5I tried the RAMpage exploit on my device using Drammer. " github/vusec/drammer" Using the open source build but it just crashed the phone. So I spent the better part of last night modifying the open source project with some moderate success in getting to run but most attempts ended in crashes before completion of the cycle. So then I tried the Drammer.apk and instead of crashing the phone the app would just close out after it made a run. So at least it was doing something. I opened up the Drammer.apk and pulled out rh-test64 from the assets folder in the apk .
I pushed it
Then I ran Chmod 755
and I ran it
But that fails because it can't obtain contiguous memory.
So I ran it with
to free up some memory.
and it finally works.
However I haven't gotten a bit flip yet. But I just got this running. Not all devices are affected by it as it relies on defects in the ram chips to work. So even if I don't get a positive result someone else might.
I'm currently running it like
-c2500000 is supposed to give the most bitflips according to the drammer github
-c -d -r command line options with ./rh-test64 explained
Sorry that I couldn't link to the drammer github but I can't post links yet. Haven't been active on xda in a long time and can't remember my long in info.
Also sorry for the terrible formatting of the post this has been a terribly long process of trying to get drammer to run as I originally was modifying the open source project little by little until I got the idea to look into the apk.4Debloat Stylo 4....... no root
1.Enable USB debugging on you phone in dev settings
2.Install adb
3.Open adb
4.Type adb devices(if you see your device on there you are good)
5.Adb shell
6.Now type "pm list packages"
7.Select the app/package and type "pm uninstall -k --user 0 name of package”

FYI, if anyone with a stylo 4 ever manages to get fastboot to flash images, here is a Magisk 18 patched boot image to flash to the boot partition.

If you are able to flash this, it will give you root.

Unfortunately, I don't think it's likely, but just in case.
