Root [MetroPCS & T-Mobile] New Full v10J ROM Flashable *Updated 9/26/2015*

[amoblox]

Has an official 5.1.1 OTA been rolling out for T-Mobile? Or are these built from another device?

Official, this way you don't end up with a locked bootloader.

Thanks for the quick reply! So it's just a waiting game for me then. Hopefully it comes sooner than later. Do we get the silent option back for volume control with 5.1.1? Any camera interface changes that you're aware of?

Not sure if you misunderstood, but this is the official firmware update from lg that is in this thread (same as OTA). The difference is that the ota will lock your bootloader and the flashable version in this thread will not.

And no silent is not back. You have to use "interruptions" in place of silent. Camera is basically the same.

I understand. It's odd that this would be one of the very few devices to have its bootloader locked on T-Mobile. Is this confirmed on the T-Mobile version or has it only been confirmed on the Metro version? I don't really plan to root anyway.

ALRIGHT..!!!! ITS TIME TO BUY... THNX GT.

The following applies to T-mo and Metro Stylo...
If you buy the phone (or already did) from the first batch it will come with android 5.0.2 which has the bootloader unlocked. If you buy it from the second batch that should already come with android 5.1.1 or if you accept the OTA update to 5.1.1, your bootloader will be locked.

The best path to take is to update to 5.1.1 with what I posted in this thread to keep your bootloader unlocked.

well the locked bootloader really only stops custom recovery and flashing ROMs. If you aren't doing that, then you can just do the OTA. If you want to Use Custom Recovery and Flash ROMs you'll need to have an unlocked bootloader. Then you'll have to use GT's zip of the update or just stay on 5.0.

Get it? Got it? Gooood!!

I'm pretty sure it should work. We were flashing opposite kdz firmwares with the F6 & F3 without issue. The stylo doesn't look any different.

I just noticed the new power menu. Looks pretty slick.

This would mean that something like APN settings gets picked up off the SIM, then get written to disk?

Don't remember, you may have to go into settings and enter your apn if you flash firmware from other carrier variant.

On the SG Mega I was using the firmware from the international version. I didn't have to enter the APN. I was on Metro, it would auto load t-mobile APN. now when i used CM I had to enter the APN my self.

Dear GameTheory

I softbricked my MetroPCS LG G Stylo somehow using twrp recovery & this method. I believe i wiped the system file for the lg stylo. Is there any way you can help. This is the first phone ive rooted and installed custom recovery on but now i cant use my Lg Stylo. When i go into Twrp recovery and flash the firware update it says NO OS. If you could get back to me asap id appreciate it. Notjustmuzik@gmail.com

well i'm not GT but which Stylo are you using?
did you try Flash the 5.1.1 update + SuperU again and deleted just cache and Dalvik Cache?

doing that will get you running if you just mistakenly deleted the system partition.

Ok i tried it again i go into TWRP Recovery/Install/External SD/Update.zip it loads then i go back and install SuperSU.zip but when i go to the reboot option it says Are you sure? No OS i reboot and im stuck with a loop of the LG Screen. I have the METROPCS Vriant of the LG G Stylo.

Thats exactly where i downloaded the 2 files from. Also yes i only wiped the cache and the delvik cache. But the first time i also used the wipe the system option.

just wondering here.

[ValydFxctz]

I waited less than 5min but is it supposed to say no OS Installed before i reboot? And if so then how long should i wait to pull the battery (If Necessary)?

It just keeps rebooting the lg logo screen.

ok just to be in the same page do the whole process again,

1- Reboot to TWRP Custom Recovery (Manually boot to recovery)
2- Flash LP511_MS631_6-30-2015.zip
3- Flash SuperSU-v2.46.zip
4- Go back and WIPE > ADVANCE WIPE > Wipe just Cache and Delvik Cache
5- Reboot.
6- give it time just wait a bit (10 mins max) if everything when well ti will show a screen saying " Optimizing Apps " and you are good to go.

just be patient happen every time a new Rom is flash first boot take time.

Ok thank you but but is it supposed to keep rebooting on its own? Because thats what its been doing?

It loads the lg logo screen & goes off & then repeats that about every minute or so. Even right now.

 

[GameTheory]

The problem here is that it seems you did a full wipe and deleted the system. You should have just followed the directions listed and would have been fine. I'm currently occupied so I'll be back later hopefully with a solution for you.
