Hey bro where is that root you promised your friends were dropping? O wait you deleted your XDA account? Don't step into the fire if you can't take the heat.
This application may not be redistributed, rehosted, repackages, added to your "elite" h4x0r script. Dude it's an app, it doesnt need a script front end.

FAQ:
What is bruteforce mode?
We need to know the right location to "attack", we hardcode it for models/firmwares we have encountered. When Stump hits a device it does not "know" it can bruteforce the location. This can take upwards of 2 hours, but once down (if the phone has an internet connect) it will report it to us, and future builds can include the location.

It says my device is not supported, what do I do?
Let us know what device and firmware it is running as a reply to this thread, and we will try to add it.

Can I unroot, then reroot with Stump?
Sorta, try and if it fails then you will need to restore stock firmware to regain root.

What Superuser app should I use?
The instructions say SuperSU, so probably SuperSU?

What phones does is work on?
Most LGs from mid 2012 to at least mid 2014

Will it work on Moto G (XT1028) by bruteforce??
See above

It's up guys!

Hats off to the team here, we went from an exploit concept to a fully functional root in under 3 days.
Great job!

Special thanks again to @justinswidebody for sending me a Sprint G3 so we could get this ball rolling.


I should also add that this application is *ONLY* compatible with phones listed in the spreadsheet linked to in the OP.
If you try this on anything other than what's listed, it will NOT work
.

Also, if you unroot after rooting, you will need to flash your phone back to 100% stock in order to re-root. This is by design currently.
This root only works on unmodified phones.

Thank you very much! Just ran on my Sprint LG G3 (ZV4 software) "grind" instantly took then I manually rebooted. It rebooted quickly and then showed lockscreen for a second then rebooted again on its own. 2nd reboot stayed up for me to install SuperSU from market - updated binary through "normal" method and it stuck. Root is fully functional and I appreciate your efforts!

Question.. Why do we need to uninstall supersu after opening it?

Uninstall stump root not supersu

    I was always told to keep my mouth shut if i didn't know what I was talking about. I don't always do it, but I try. Sometimes it saves me from looking foolish.

    Its a root exploit, it gains root without needing a su binary. IT CAN ADD PERMISSIONS AT RUN TIME, AND DO THINGS ABOVE AND BEYOND ANY STANDARD ANDROID API.

    This goes for anything running as root. Its root, it needs no freaking permissions, it was a courtesy of being upfront and open by adding them into the manifest. Anyone freaking out about permissions a root app uses, doesn't even know in the slightest what they are talking about. Sure it could be doing something bad, but if i was hiding something bad, why would I declare the permissions when I don't need to?

    Would you rather me build it with no permissions, and then add them at run time without letting you know? I mean, its an app that can gain root without su/superuser, and thats only like an extra 10 lines of code to add all those permissions at run time, without you ever knowing. I could be disabling signature checks to trustzone, and installing a rootkitted trustzone, I could be spying on you at a level far below and out of reach of Android. You might want to burn that phone, cause I mean I'm American, and a hacker. Americans == NSA, hacker == spy.

    If you want to hint that im being suspicious or doing something bad, put it on the table, show me and tell me what I'm doing, other wise you are the suspicious one. Either you have no idea what you are talking about, or you are trying to smear me. So which is it?


    Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying the work they did is any less appreciated. That entire team has done a lot to advance community development for the LG G3 and I appreciate that immensely. No matter how much I appreciate it though, that doesn't make it ok to avoid answering questions like the ones that were presented.

    If the reasons are to protect the ip address of their server then that should be explained. If there are reasons why they need access to Google now(which I assume gives them access to search queries) then that should be explained. Even if it is done vaguely to protect their closed source information

    I'm not saying that I demand they remove these permission and I'm not saying that they should give all their secrets away. I just think the way that question was answered is very, very suspicious.

    I've since deleted this app. Thank you.
    Unsubscribed.

    Sent from my LG-D858

    Some oddities with this apk:

    * Wants permission to pass queries to Maluuba (https://play.google.com/store/apps/d....android&hl=en)
    * Wants to manage IPsec connections - why would a root app need to establish a vpn connection?
    * Wants permission to Google Now Remote Access

    All of this seems fishy... so the app could remote into my phone via an encrypted VPN (so no trace of the source), and do whatever - including screen my search queries...

    I don't think so.
    21
    This reply is one of the biggest red flags I've ever seen that this apk is malicious.

    It's just how these things work? BS. If everything really was fine, with nothing fishy going on, why won't you reply to the straight question with a straight answer? Is it beneath you to provide a technical answer to the posed question?

    Clearly you are dodging here and unless you can give a clear answer to why the permissions are the way they are, I would steer very clear of this apk folks. As stated in the Verizon thread, this app has the potential to open a VPN with your device and query the search. That information has value in today's world.

    I never discussed why I added the permissions to iomoster/thecubed or anyone. I added them. ME ME ME ME ME. Not thecubed, not autoprime, not anyone. Me. I added them. Don't blame him, bring the bIame to me. I didn't discuss the reasoning behind it with anyone. It's none of your business, if you don't like it, dont use it. Why did I add them? Because I can, it consumes time trying to figure out why I added them (ie time of LG trying to fix it, extending how long stump lasts). The negative side effect, is that it brings out the conspiracy theories, and those that don't have a clue what they are talking about. If you want to smear me like this, I expect you to show me where this malicious code is.

    This kind of bull is why I hate working with the LG crowd. You people have pulled all the fun from these kinds of projects. I can't wait until Purple Drake and Stump are patched.

    Show me the potential for it to open a VPN and "query the search", it is all java, it disassembles and decompiles cleanly. Put it on the table. I wrote the damn code, I know damn well that code doesn't exist. At this point you are just smearing me and the others, probably jealous of the fact that some of us can do this kind of work, when you lake the skill set.

    Next LG exploit I write will be $25, no matter how simple it is, or how quick it is made. If I have to listen to people who have not one clue what they speak of, I should at least get paid enough to be drunk through it.
