LG G3 landed in June, 2014. The device won LG some respect having some immense specifications. LG G3 happens to be LG’s very first phone with a QHD display that outdated Oppo’s Find 7. It’s a 5.5 inches True HD IPS display with 534 ppi. LG has used Qulcomm’s Snapdragon 801 CPU accompanied by Adreno 330 GPU and a RAM of 3 GB in the G3. What makes this device even more unique is its 13 MP camera with a laser Auto-Focus whereas the front cam is 2.1 MP. Out of the box, you will find LG G3 running on Android 4.4.2 KitKat.
That was all about the device, let’s get back to our topic now. Some variants of the G3 were rooted when it came out, while some career branded (Verizon, Sprint) devices were left unrooted. Recently, famous XDA Recognized developer JCase, accompanied by some other developers (PlayfulGod , IOMonster, Autoprime, PlayfulGod and Team Codefire) managed to get root access on the LG G3.
The application presented by these developers is named as “StumpRoot“. It’s actually more than easy to root the device as it will hardly take 1 or 2 taps. Let’s go through a little how to guide and learn how you can root your Verizon, Sprint, AT&T or T-Mobile LG G3 using StumpRoot.
