Root Root lg motion 4g (no computer needed)

thanks Pg
wow thats interesting
My mistake, i must have downloaded something else,what i have looks like any other app i have looked at
So the basics are
You are more knowledgable than many here
I have advanced from noob level, but in reality dont know much compared to the broad spectrum
Trying to share to further others positively seems to always get sidetracked

@Shabby
Your manifest point is valid but
i would assume this link was stumbled upon and not hosted from a trusted android site
which means there was a possibilty it was not have an actuall app to help one gain root
It would seem pointless for it to ask for su permission since its alleged intent is to obtain root for you
I was simply trying to point out that things can be investigated and maybe gain some knowledge from there efforts. Maybe you can deciphire a few things maybe you cant
And i would hope to help people at our site see even a simple look at a manifest or deeper is easy can help you be different than those that downlosd and installing anything hoping that an unbrick wont be needed
or the world gets your contacts Or some guy in china has all your contacts or worse

This particular app has wants internet access.This could be to send logs to a server to report data of failed attempts
Even with my little knowkedge the guts give an indication it wants to root the phone for you
I cant tell much else without studies
this was done from my phone in 5 minutes with free software

So i would hope a day one noob can benefit from as it applys to all apps
use a file browser and look at your apps, You be surprised.
For instance
a simple little calendar app i got
it doesnt sync or anything ,all its supposed to do is check my phone for the date and display a page showing the month
But in the background it gets internet access all camera access.contacts and i forget what else. just so it can tell me what day it is.

So even if these apps arent destructive, They are gonna be causing alot of background activity.Most likely wakekock issues and unwanted battery drain at the least

i really wanted the app and i think i managed to strip it and made it a simple calendar as it pretended to be.

most of the core apps etc usually arent proguarded. typically apps from the store are tho. Most of my apps are, but I post most of my src on github too, so proguard inst really needed in those cases.
 
So ProGuard is an encryption to protect source and licensing,
Thanks for sharing this
But it wont stop me from Trying to find out whats really on my phone.Android provided me with other tools to help indentify what my phone is really doing
May sound weird but i am in a war with google and lge.
They own my phone not me
I think the only stock app left is LGphone
and half my framework is gone
I left it so my radio could still sync time
There so much background activity because of lg and google its unbelevable.
I may have doubled battery life by removing them
I dont think i can fix the rest without a away to prroperly disable services

OP sorry for the sidetrack
 
Did anybody else look at this
The manifest wants all internet access,as well as write to ext storage
i wonder what it downloads

Alot of the smalli files convert to java
havent looked at them all
Somewhere around N you can see it looking for busybox and installing SU
It seems to do online configurations

Looking at the liberoot.so with only a text editor makes it look like it uses video as the exploit and has the ability to patch a kernel

my saferroot app needs internet access and write permissions too.

my apps downloads the saferoot.zip only tho, only changes to it were to edit it to run from the device vs from a pc. Saferoot's src (posted on xda) as well as my app's src(on github) are readily available online tho.
 
May never use this ,just curious what it does.
It seems was made for samsung phones originally
I assume it sends info to a server which sends the app whats needed for the exploit

Makes me wonder how the OneClick root stickied here works.
Uses a totally different exploit?
I dont understand this one but think its doing something to the video.

If anybody uses this can you post whatever it downloads if it does

Not sure what exploits that one uses, generally if its not on xda and def if its uploaded to 4shared I wont touch it. ;)
 
I just tried motochopper by bliss to root my G2. It pushed superuser apk I opened it and it says the su binary must be updated, but there is no binary in xbin... This is the most I've gotten out of any exploit thus far. I didn't try the app in op but did try the saferoot as I mentioned above snd had no luck. I really need to get some help from the smarter folks..lol
 
Maybe but we don't have access to stock recovery. Rooting is something I have no idea how to work. Now once it's rooted I'm good, but the initial exploit I can't do.
 
Well on the script it says "pushing superuser.apk to data/local/tmp" or something to that effect. I'm not looking at it right now.
 
I did and it says su binary is out of date and when I check install it gives me a fsiled to update message. Then when I reboot it goes away.
 
Damn
Sorry bud
motochopper has the binaries seprate and pushes to data/local
obviously the pwn script is suppose to get it into the system
Gimme a year or two and i may figure it out
 
Lol. I'll have the G3 in a couple of months. As much as I DO WANT this phone properly rooted, it is the first phone I've owned that I can tolerate not being rooted.
 
You could ask on the g2 forums, as i dont expect many lg motion folks would know that much about the g2.

however using exploits that were patched by most oem's before 4.2 probably isnt gunna work out so well on 4.4. there are no new exploits for 4.4 wide, so the only roots that are available are ones put out for each device. if your device doesnt have one, then nothing changes that.
 
Im only asking here because their are some decently knowledgeable folks here. We have a root exploit but it doesn't work on the Tmobile variant. Tmobile blocked access to stock recovery on the D801. Metro and Tmobile seem to be blocking this on new kitkat devices.

the f3/f6 jb updates do the same. I worked around that by flashing the ver b aboot on the F3 and think pressy4pie did the same on the F6. ;)
