How to unlock bootloader and root the LG Stylo 6 and K51 K61 and other K model LG devices

[cryptojoe37]

how do I fit a 58.2 gb. full backup of my phone onto my stylo 6 phone to patch it with magisk when the hard drive is not that big?? I need an sd card?

 

[Warlockguitarman]

You only patch the boot_a.img if you have fastboot access. But if you don't have access to fastboot like some K models then you will want to patch both boot_a and boot_b I specify all of this in my tutorial

And the rl out backup may save the files as .bin files which is fine, magisk will change it to an .img file when it patches it. But you can also change the .bin to .img and it will be fine

The file says boot_a and stores in the MTK folder {where you opened the powershell} it's only 40mb in size. Transfer that to your downloads folder in your phone then open Magisk and look for it when you install and use the app {it will ask you for a file} then it will name it "patched file 12345" that file you then move it back to the MTK file and change its name to patched_a or patched_b DON'T MIX THEM UP. And all should be done. Unless you use adb then you would have to move it to the adb folder. But if you don't have, and have never used ADB then stick with MTK for less confusion.

i successfully unlocked the bootloader- which is great- but having a litlle trouble with rootiing. i think did what the tutorial says but there is not much info to follow. could you reply a more detailed process for me to follow on installing Magisk and flashing boot.img, please.

 

[cryptojoe37]

What command do I use to flash my full backup back to my stylo 6 just in case I brick it?

 

[cryptojoe37]

I flashed both patched images & now I'm stuck in a bootloop. I have fastboot so do I have to use fastboot?

Hey guys sorry, need a busy day, but thank you kingrise for that response he describes how to use magisk. This tutorial is not for the newbies, it requires a lil knowledge of adb commands at the least, and if you figured it out without any experience I give you props, my tutorial has alot of steps, mainly because mtkclient is a newer developer tool that is confusing for a user that isn't familiar with it, I can get back on TeamViewer tonight if I need to help anyone out again, but I prefer that you figure it out for your self as this is a feat to be proud of doing on your own and a good learning experience as this process unlocks many many recently unlockable devices, which means we are starting the development of these devices before the actual big time developers can, I hoping some of them jump in and help out with twrp and custom roms

 

[RAMBO=NOOB]

YES! Custom Recovery and ROMS and Kernels and all that stuff is needed for stylo 6 , I finally accomplished ROOT access which makes me happy after several attemps. Thank you for process WARLOCk

 

[Warlockguitarman]

No problem. Glad you were able to follow my guide, I may make my own fork off of bkerlers mtkclient with it modified and a special readme just for the stylo 6 so that this process will be s little bit easier to perform

I cant do anythingbut factory reset...which takes me back to BOOTLOOP

 

[Warlockguitarman]

Your gonna have to restore a backup or reflash your system.img that's why I warned to be very careful with mods. I wish I was allowed to post my discord link so that all of my groups research could be easily available for anyone with issues. Because I'm pretty sure one of the members had solved this issue

I made another edit to my tutorial to suggest a full backup directly after rooting so this process doesn't need to be repeated, hopefully holding power and volume down until recovery boots works and you can power down your device to get back into brom, if not then the back will most likely need to be removed and the battery disconnected unless you can get the timing down to force reboot with power and volume down and plugging the device in right when it reboots

volume down and power take me to the factory reset option...it seems to run and then goes back to the boot loop

i can remove the back because i have done it a few times ..if i do that what should i do once i put the battery back??

I'm glad my tricks worked to get your phone into firmware download mode or recovery and then powered off to end the bootloop and allow you to get connected to Mtkclient to restore your backup, for others in a never ending bootloop you hold power and volume down for about 8 seconds until the phone says booting recovery, from there you can power it off, if that doesn't work because your bootloop is going too fast you gotta have good timing and when the phone reboots you gotta plug it in to the computer while holding volume up and that goes to firmware download mode where you can flash a kdz firmware file or unplug the phone and tap power and volume down atbthe same time to power off the device and then you can bring up Mtkclient and run the backup install commands in my tutorial. Bootloop fixed, this can also work for bricked devices, if someone completely hard bricks their device or even formats it I will write up another tutorial with the files to flash in sp flash tool to bring your phone back to working condition.

Has anyone unlocked their bootloader and rooted with my instructions yet?

I have COMPLETED the entire tutorial for the second time, However tonight i will be making the "rootedflash.bin" backup. This process worked 100% for my TMobile Stylo 6 but if i could give any advice to noobs like me it would be,
1. The SP Flash Tool will FAIL and it is supposed to, it is only used to make the connection to MTKclient.
2. The MTK client PowerShell window usually doesnt have to be messed with at all after you have entered a command and pressed enter, but the SP Flash Tool has to have "DownLoad" clicked on ever failed attempt.
3. Get used to clicking "Download" on SP Tool, then clicking over to powershell and then plugging in USB cord. it takes a few and sometimes several tries
4. you can leave the usb plugged in for a couple seconds but try to get good at unplugging just in time BEFORE your phone boots back up...this will save you time.
5. It helped me to periodically go into my file explorer and right click on the "DKusb driver" that you download and install at the beginning of the process and clicking to install it or repair it again in between failed attempts to connect to MTK
6. It will also help to restart computer occasionallly and even start over and install everything again.
7. MOST important--DO NOT GET IMPATIENT--and decide to unlock bootloader and root with out making those Back ups, take the time to make all back ups thruoghout the process....you will be glad you did.
FINALLY-- WARLOCKGUITARMAN -- has done an excellent job at making his first tutorial and ALL the steps are there and in correct order, if you follow his guide precisely you will be enjoying a fully rooted and unlocked Bootloader and any version Stylo 6 and other mediatech devices.

Thanx for the advice above, I may add a few of your comments to my tutorial, I just hate to keep making it longer and longer, but yea I waited about an extra month to release this tutorial so that I could help people in my group unlock their devices to get all the bugs worked out and to make sure I covered all steps fully and addressed any problems that could arise.

oh its most likely not even nesseccary to add any steps to your tutorial...i was mainly posting it just for folks like me who are reading and trying to figure it out. hopefully they are scrolling through the thread like i did and if so then that might help someone.
