With ADB installed you can and are supposed to apparently. I tried several times with fresh .img to use TWRP on my LG G Stylo and it has boot errors. I'm going to try whoshotjr's version.

Can use this twrp to flash for boost Mobile?

Blu8 · Mar 5, 2016

If you read the instructions you need to be rooted first (which you need a pc for or can also use kingroot) and then simply use flashify to flash the recovery.

This is for Metro and T-Mobile ONLY, every other stylo has a locked bootloader.

Funny seeing you here as I used to have the Volt...

I'm on 6.0, Boost, rooted with kingroot, and in Dev Options you can unlock the bootloader (OEM Unlock).
I have a Linux box with ADB and everything ready (packages / java needed to build).

Can we make a recovery?

That switch is superficial on the Boost variant

I had a hunch it couldn't be that easy... but at least I have root, kernel auditor and Adblock.

I fixed the idling at 800mhz. Now it drops to 200/400. I'll share if anyone is interested. I just changed the governor settings.

So no recovery for boost?

Not until the bootloader can be unlocked or a new method found.

Blu8 · Mar 6, 2016

You probably have the newer screen and need to flash this version of TWRP

Ok, so how can I install it using a pc? cause right now I can't get out of this twrp

Okay I need some assitance....

I have the T-Mobile version. I tried root with supersu 2.65. It worked but says no binary downloaded so essentially the root cant actually do anything... So I can't use Flashify. So I tried a guide on XDA forums where I just flash this with adb.

I tried 10j, 10vi and other links you provided. It should still work this way but everything fails to write for the recovery...

C:\adb>fastboot flash recovery v10.img
target reported max download size of 268435456 bytes
sending 'recovery' (11230 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.390s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: unknown command)
finished. total time: 0.390s

I dont understand.. Someone please help. Or at least tell me how to fix the SuperSu not having a binary. I downloaded the apk from a website because the "Update" option from the playstore does nothing. And the only other option is through TWRP. So neither option worked because I cant flash TWRP due to the error and also cannot update through the playstore. So I have no idea how to approach this.

Is there gonna be any update for the twrp

I flashed this on the metro version and theres no touch input when your in the recovery. It appears to be working properly otherwise, you can see the whole screen.

Ive tried different downloads via multiple different networks on several different devices, and I've tried flashing it through both flashify and adb.. All to the same effect.

I've tried both the download in the op, and the updated version for the new hardware variant. I checked the md5 sums of the downloads in both the op and thread, they appear to be the same file?

Make sure you have OEM-unlocked checked in Dev.mode settings. Sovit can work

Can this be used with the Virgin Mobile variant?

Blu8 · May 6, 2016

No you have a locked bootloader

Then back to the store it goes, thanks for the quick reply.

When ever I try boot into twrp it just boots up. Any reason why? I use flashify to flash twrp

Practice doing this till a recovery starts
..

Recovery Mode LG G Stylo.

1.Turn off the device
2.Press and hold Volume Down key + Power key about 10 seconds
3.Release all key when LG logo appears
4.Press and hold again Volume down key + Power key
5.Release all key when Android System Recovery Mode appears

..

keep trying you'll get the hang of it
Eventually You will into the stock recovery

If your not on a tmobile or metro branded phone forget everything
your doing and set up your locked bootloader phone.
see what sw version it says under battery

I can get into twrp through the app but when I do the power button + volume button method it takes me to a stock recovery

That's what it's supposed to do, say yes twice to a factory reset and it should boot into TWRP
