What is this?
This is Bump! A new and easy way to sign boot images for most modern LG phones so they'll boot on any locked phone.
Bump an image once, and flash it to however many phones you please.

How does this work?
Simply create an account on the site, click "Bump!", upload the boot/recovery images (also known incorrectly as 'kernels') and the service will automatically Bump them for you.

Is this project open source?
No, this project is not open source. We are however an "open" project, as we are all for transparency and user discussion. With that in mind, we'll be participating in user discussions and providing bugfixes and changelogs when possible.

Who made this?
Team Codefire, of course!
Bump would not be possible without the help and support of many people.
Please consider donating something to the people listed below to help them to continue to support your LG phone and to show your appreciation of all the hours they've put into this awesome unlock!
@thecubed - Paypal Donate - That'd be weird if I wrote something nice about myself here
@Shelnutt2 - Paypal Donate - This guy nearly single-handedly wrote the entire Bump site in a few days, and was stuck waiting for me to be around before we could test. He's awesome.
@IllegalArgument - Paypal Donate - Special thanks here, IllegalArgument really helped out and brought us across the finish line here. It's safe to say that we have the unlock today because of him - show him some love!
@autoprime - Paypal Donate - Generally awesome. Always helpful, always willing to test things, and a great guy to have on the team!
@AnimatronicRocketReptile - Paypal Donate - Crypto help, thanks!
@Dees_Troy - Paypal Donate - For building all these TWRP images for us, thanks so much!

I'm just a user, do I need this?
Most likely not. If you're just flashing ROMs, this is a tool for developers only. There is no need to Bump ROMs yourself if you're not editing anything in the kernel, recovery, or ramdisk.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
How do I know if something is Bump'd?
Look for the word "signed" or "bumped" in the filename. We will create a new section of the site soon that allows you to verify that a file is bumped soon enough.

Okay, I'm a developer, and I want this now!

Awesome! Can't wait to try out CM 11 on this phone. Just in time for the android 5.0 once it's released.
About to sign up and see if I can't get a CM11 build to complete now that I remembered to add TheMuppets vendor tree <-- Super-Derp

It is. You upload the boot.img from the ROM you've compiled, which is about 5-6 MB. In a few seconds, you get a download link for the bumped boot.img. Then reinsert that into your ROM
Never doubted you guys once. Thanks for the time and effort you and your team had put into this and continues to invest in it for our benefit.
Can't wait for A.O.S.P Roms to hit the Sprint G3 I see they have a few for Verizon and other carriers already.
The new ZV6 kernel for Sprint won't bump. It says something like "unexpected size".
It seems to be working fine so far though, so maybe @autoprime Bumped it before uploading?
TWRP has about a 5 sec delay when you first start it. Then it's fine. So I thought this might be the problem.
Thanks for all your work!
Zv6 kernel? Looks like I'm going to have to do some looking for that.

If you can fix it, that would be much appreciated. I don't know if you're a member of the team. lol
Nope. I'm just curious about what changes in ZV6 can be applied to the AOSP builds to get things like NFC, BT, GPS, and the compass working
Hi guys!
You might have noticed that the Bump site is dead.
Please thank Cybojenix and EnderBlue for the kindness.
For reference, see this post and the context therein: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56991448&postcount=8
Yes, this is harsh, and yes I do feel bad about it. However, I am sick and tired of people accusing me and my team of things we're not doing, and sick of people being entitled to things that we do in our spare time.
As usual, everyone who's supported us and the team - Thank you! You're the lifeblood of this community.
Sadly though, I'm done. I'm done with Android and I'm done with rooting and unlocking phones. The G3 is the last phone I will root or unlock publicly.
Sorry guys that it had to come to this.

Latest IRC Build:
2/4: http://d-h.st/7T0
Bugs:
Dock audio doesn't work unless connected through Bluetooth
FAQ:
Q1: When I try to flash the ROM in TWRP, it fails. Why?
A: You MUST flash a recovery built with an SELinux kernel in order for the ROM to flash. There are 3 I know of: One is in the OP of this thread. One is in post #2 of the OmniROM thread (thanks to xHausx). The 3rd is here, built by me with Flemmard's kernel (split from deck's version). I also have one built with CM11, available upon request.
Q2: I enabled ART and now I can't boot up my device without getting a bunch of force closes. How do I fix it?
A: Go back in time and don't enable it. But seriously, the best workaround I found is to pull the build.prop out of the ROM zip, update the runtime from libart.so to libdvm.so, and push it to the ROM while in recovery. Change permissions to 644, wipe caches and reboot. You'll be back to dalvik, and back in business.
Q3: What's the difference between these builds and Nightlies?
A: The builds posted here and on IRC will include patches that haven't yet been merged into CM, and thus will be missing from the Nightlies. deck gives us a "sneak peek" of those options first, and allows us to test and provide feedback to ensure everything is working well before being merged for the masses. That being said, remember that this is a Development thread, so if you're going to provide feedback, please make it useful.
Q4: Why are you telling me I'm posting in the wrong thread? I'm running CM11. Aren't they all the same?
A: See the above question and answer for the difference. This thread is for the builds posted by deck in the OP and in IRC. The thread for the Nightly builds is linked in Post 2.
Come hang out on IRC in #htc-evo-4g-lte if you'd like to discuss the ROM (and also, likely get trolled, lol)
ALSO, please consider donating to the devs that helped make this happen on our Zack Morris device!

When you reference one of the unported parts being the storage mount swap do you mean that we can't mount the external SD card or we can't use the external SD at all?

Neither of those things. I'm talking about the feature that allowed you to swap internal for external cards so you could use the external as internal storage.
This doesn't refer to something that is broken; this was an additional feature. If it was a bug, it would be in the bugs section.
Redownloaded and reflashed everything. It's all groovy now. Thanks a ton, Deck, and Cap!

Disclaimer:
This package is for the Sprint Galaxy S5 (SM-G900P) only. Your device, your responsibility - not ours.
Do not flash this if you do not know what you are doing or have any doubts/concerns about doing something unofficial.
This is a test build so understand YMMV and any use of this is at your own risk without official support available.

Anonymous Sources (for providing and verifying the leak's validity)

Samsung/Sprint (for hopefully not coming after anyone for this leak!)
This is a test build for the Sprint S5. This will not be the OTA release and may have issues.
Nevertheless... it is Lollipop.
I've tested calls, SMS and other functions and they seem to work.
I have not tested all of the sensors and their functions.
I'm also releasing this as a full restore only so it will wipe data.

Full Restore Tar (in self extracting EXE) - Rwilco12
MD5 Checksum: 58cb28a69b14f0bbfe82b590301cb416
Steps to Flash:
1) Place phone in download mode.
2) Open Odin (I tested using 3.04 and 3.07)
3) Extract tar.md5 file and select in PDA slot.
4) Start Flash and wait for process to complete. (You will see 2 reboots in the process)
Additional notes and links provided in Post #2.
Root Information & Other Notes
Rooting Information
Thanks to Chainfire's assistance a CF Auto Root package is available for this build.
You can download it by clicking here.
During testing SuperSU did not pick up that it stuck properly initially.
After KNOX started throwing the warnings it finally settled in. So you may need to play with it to get it to work.
This will likely be the case until an official Lollipop build is released so again, you're warned in advance.
Other Notes:
I cannot stress this enough - these sources took a very significant risk in providing this to the public and helping verify it.
And while we're thankful for it, this is the only 5.0 leak I will post prior to an official release.
Let's not get greedy and let's not get these sources in trouble.

@garwynn Any idea on how to deodex Lollipop apk?
Well Sammobile linked you up, so this is going to catch fire pretty quickly in the news as it'll get regurged by Android Central, AP, etc. I hope that doesn't put any pressure on your sources.
Thanks again. Was on ND4 stock, Used odin 3.09 to load this rom. So far so good. Too much white, though. Still testing stuff.
Is there anything of the new Samsung stuff included like theme choser or flow?
theoretically this version should work on international version also... both P &F have the same specs only diference from what is see is GSM bands...
Can someone upload the notocoloremoji font?

Sadly no, and word via sources is that Samsung is clamping down security. The attention this will attract will probably only tighten that grip.
My guess is the rom would work but you would have no data, modems are different.

There are some other h/w differences as we learned during CM bringup.
The ROM itself could probably run on other variants but would have dialer and a few other issues.
Someone may find a way to bring it to the other devices. Where there's a will, there's a way.

Slight OT is fine, but when users decide to act stupid they should be dealt with with the appropriate means - its really annoying for me when OT turns crazy. Please put the warning/ban hammer anytime any of you think there's lack of respect and/or too much unwanted OT crap - but if it doesn't meet this criteria let the OT posts alone. Thank you.
Cheers!
I think the only thing I haven't merged yet is controls for headphone volume boost. Other standard things are already there. Due to the unfortunate fact that we still don't have a custom recovery I haven't touched the ramdisk, so you're just flashing the actual Kernel binary (plus the device tree files that are bundled to it) through the bootloader. It's really straight forward though.
I wouldn't expect any magical battery improvements yet. Although I've made some custom patches to reduce needlessly cpu idle wakeups (don't confuse this with wakelocks, totally different things), and reducing the load average, I doubt there will be any magical enhancements. Though, I wouldn't be surprised if you get 5-10% better screen on time.
Also merged some upstream patches which gave me roughly 5-10% better Geekbench results on both single and multi threaded tests due to lower lock contention & reduced overhead.
Made sure ZRAM was properly set up too, which didn't seem to be the case by looking through the entire Google's device tree.
There's other things on my patches, but nothing groundbreaking.
Everything is in my github too. You know my approach, no bull****, so don't ask me for merge/add retarded crap.
Runs badass! Can't wait for more

The Android subreddit would always rave about your kernel during the Nexus 4 days. Excited to see future development.
UPDATE (08/18/2018):
UNI no longer needed. The Z981 Firehose/Programmer has been retrieved & new instructions & files will be release soon. Come to Discord if u want to see how this sausage is being made. Everything is public. No one should pay for anything.
Join our discord {Mod edit} (Everybody is welcome).
We will need ROM/Kernel/Program makers. So please join Discord to help out. Nougat is also on its last bugs. And Oreo is booting. So there are a lot of great news for the Z981.
New thread will be started here on XDA with file links & instructions when ready.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We have working TWRP and Root for the Zmax Pro. We are almost ready to let users beta test.
Join our discord {Mod edit} (Everybody is welcome).
If you would like to be a tester before full root is launched/achieved. Or you can just keep up on the progress that is being made.
Although the TWRP installation is done thru a paid app. We plan to share free access to this method of installation. And we advice that no one purchase said paid app for the purpose of rooting your Z981. But if you already own said app. Or purchase it in order to share with others. Please contact us for a safe method of sharing access for the purpose of TWRP installation & rooting Z981's.
We need advance knowledgeable folks to come help us in getting the firehose extracted from the paid app. And also to help us try to target the bootloader & to develop SafeStrap in the mean time. Come on over. We got our fingers in many pies.
All credit goes to Armando for his awesome TWRP & Messi for testing the UNI method of root thru the paid app. And for those that where/or will be willing to share access to the paid app for free.
08/18/18 - UNI no longer needed.
04/28/18 - Updated Discord link.
Discord link is invalid. Also, what can I do to help? My Z981 currently sits on a shelf serving no purpose. Would love to regain life from it.
i have a broken glass one. i could use some root to mess around with it.
also, discord link is invalid.
Wow! Just when I had given up hope on seeing mine rooted!
I still use this phone as my primary. In fact, I have three of them. I'd be willing to help with testing and such, just let me know!
I even have one dedicated for my guinea pig phone, so it works out!
Dude, your link is broken ?
I've been rooting phones for about 7-8 years now. I'd be more than happy to help with testing to get this to a public release stage.
Has anyone figured out anything about discord? I would love to test this. I almost cried when the discord didn't work lol.

You should join their discord... Details are in the OP. The actual steps are "involved" lol, but I can confirm that Y314K was awesome and helped me with getting the Z981 on some TWRP and Magisk 16.0. Everyone is cool and helpful on their discord chat. Hope that helps.
Wish you give me more instructions.... I don't know what op means.... I downloaded the app... Registered... But nothing there... Need to know where to go... Etc
chat room
yeah, I got into the chat room and didn't see anything worthwhile as far as what this particular section is about! Just a bunch of random chatting it seemed to me, so I didn't see the point of it and still wondering what's said paid app is if it's not TWRP

Great, folks that refuse to read the #Annoucements.
Click on the link for Discord on the 1st post of this thread.
(That is what is known as Original Post aka OP)
Then accept the invitation to the Server in the link.
The very first welcome message tells you to read #Annoucements.
Click on #Annoucements.
Read ALL the #Annoucments.
Then follow the instructions for borrowing UAT/UNI.
The process of rooting the Z981 is not a one button push. It is very specific. And things must be done on a specific order. And as of this date it still involves a paid app. But thanks to folks that lend their licenses. We have made a process that makes rooting the Z981 totally free. As long as the Z981 owner is willing to follow instructions.
If we where just handing out license logins then u would have dozens of folks bricking their Z981's. Specifically their IMEI's. Which has not been the case for those the are willing to read & follow instructions.

It is not my root method. The method was first posted by Messi2050.
What is our method is the lend & walk-thru options that our Discord group provides. So folks don't have to spend a penny on root. Which we believe should always be free. And our release of updated/latest TWRP & a Debloated Discord v1.1 ROM (Based on MPCS B21) are something we are proud off.
And pretty soon, once some major bugs are worked out there should be Nougat flavors of Linage OS & Resurrection Remix & other Nougat ROMs available for the Z981. And eventually there should be Oreo ROMs too.
Hey, thanks for the reply and not blasting me too hard. When I was on the Discord chat I had kids running around me acting crazy not to mention my screen was busted up so I was having a hard time. And thanks for the breakdown of the acronym because I am surely one who often wonders what some of those abbreviations stand for.

Read. Read. Read. You must want to help yourself. And once again, you can always use the "search thread" option in the upper right hand corner before you come off sounding uninformed. People will help you, but you must first show that you are involved enough to find answers to the basics - if not you probably shouldn't be rooting your phone.
i did join and rooted my zte phone thank you

Actually i have not uploaded the twrps, because i don't know which one is working and which one is not working. In all cases manual mode is available
Source code?
You can't honestly expect people to download a random zip containing an executable right?
Although your intentions may not be nefarious you can't trust anyone.

This tool is not open source.
Nobody obliges someone to use it, if you want you can, if you don't want, don't use it.
I want to specify that this tool have more of 200k of downloads.

I don't want to discourage anyone from trying this tool, I'm simply stating people should be cautious, just because it's been downloaded a heap of times doesn't automatically make it safe. Think back to when Lenovo was found having over 750,000 laptops spying on users.
I would trust the XDA community and their giving him a 3214 thanks meter.

I'm sure millions trusted Lenovo also.
OP didn't obfuscate, will be looking over the whole source.
Also OP, please name your forms/buttons/labels please, it hurts my head seeing Button1, Button2, Button33, Button7583, Form38748354

I'm not sure how the complexity of software would correlate to the likeliness of malware.

The irony of you recommending this tool after "looking over" the code is just funny. FWIW, I have never used this tool or any other like it and have no interest in it other than someone trying to help others.

I decompiled the executable and went over every line of code, nothing dodgy is happening, it just has a heap of calls to cmd passing parameters and also the adb and fastboot tool etc.

You might be missing my point. Your decision that is not malicious vs his original contention that it wasn't don't provide any more proof to anyone who didn't either review the code or write the code. All we have to go in is the XDA forum reputation. He is a developer on a developer site with a good one, and you have next to none. I don't think either of you are out to mislead anyone, and I certainly would not be the first to try a tool like this (if not for malicious code reasons, for "I don't feel like unbricking my phone" reasons). I wish you both well.

Fair point, I would encourage anyone interested to decompile and verify for themselves, I dislike closed source software.
