There are many variants of D693... which are you using?Does this works with a G3 Stylus model D693 ?
Just to answer my own question, I flashed the ROM and is working perfect.
No way they unlock. Ever. In fact the locked bootloader has everything to do with the carrier, and not with Lg. If you contact Huawei for unlocking codes for certain devices (I have a G730-U251 which is a lot like G3 Stylus, though I think its even better) they will tell you that. I didn't even bother to contact LG...Hey. I'm trying to contact LG and talk about the bootloader of the G3 Stylus. By now, they just tried to call me and told me they don't recommend to do root. In case of any other answer, I'll post here.
Oh yes, for sure. I got both (plus a Huawei G730-U251) and either is way better than the D693n. In fact, I can tell this is the most fragile device I ever had. It is the only one ever, that failed to withstand the beautiness of rooting. That's why I'm searching for a ROM with no carrier and bring it back to full life. And root again...Yeah, that's it, I'm going back to 4.4: LG did a pretty **** job with this port of lolipop, and this phone basically hasn't devs, so I can't stand without xposed. I think the worst thing I did in this year was to buy this phone, should have bought the Moto G, it cost less and offers much more :/
De pura casualidad... ¿el tuyo es de Telcel?My GPS works Great after update to Lollipop, and i have root in my device. Greetings from México.
Entonces sí tienes (o tuviste) un problema con esa ROM de Malasia, ¿no?Hi, i have the Mexican version of this model and i installed this update, from the malasyan version, it works very smooth, but i want to get back to my stock rom KK, but i cant, i have try many diferent methods, but none has worked, can you help me please?
Methods i used and didnt work

Ok. Esa es la información importante!... Es que los participantes tienen la fea tendencia a decir "si funcionó!" o "no funciona" y nada más. Si nos tomamos el tiempo para ser un poco más explícitos con los problemas o soluciones que encontramos, entonces somos útiles para otros y otros pueden ayudarnos con más facilidad. Ese es el punto de éste foro. De otro modo, solo nos enteramos de la felicidad o la desgracia de otros y eso pues... no ayuda gran cosa. Gracias por tu respuesta!Si mi phone es telcel, y tenia varios fallos, al final si pude regresarlo, cuando salio la rom oficial en mexico

On youtube search how to change kingroot to supersu in lg g3 stylus, i found a tutorial for thatDid anyone found out how to use SuperSU in lollipop yet?
I was thinking in modifying the original Kingroot app and make it install SuperSU binaries and the app instead of it's own, but I just don't know how to make this work :crying:
I know this page is in english, lo estas conectando en modo download? Sino es asi, oprimiendo el boton de volumen arriba y le conectas el cable usb, sin soltar el boton de volumen hasta que salga un logo como de dos flechas girando en su propio eje.En mi caso estoy tratando de flashear mi D693n, pero el programa me da error de conexion al servidor y en la pantalla de mi smartphone no avanza el porcentaje, alguna sugerencia?
Saludos
