The LG Stylo 2 Plus which launched earlier in 2016 has now finally received an unofficial build of TWRP recovery, all thanks to developer messi2050 over at xda.

With the availability of TWRP recovery, you can now also root LG Stylo 2 Plus easily via SuperSU or Magisk. Rooting gives you access to system level files on your device allowing you to modify settings that are otherwise restricted by your device manufacturer.

On a side note, if you’re into Pokemon Go or use Android Pay, we recommend using the Magisk systemless interface to root your LG Stylo 2 Plus. Because it allows you to disable root on-the-fly when needed. Or you can also use the Auto Magisk app to disable root automatically when you launch an app.
