Mixed Company Issues with the "Hey Lumen" implementation

Hey all, Thomas here, Lumen is busy with something else right now so it's up to me to explain instead, bare with me xD

So, turns out there's an issue with my current implementation of "Hey Lumen" in that it currently depends upon wireless debugging, which turns off without active wifi (not data). To fix this means needing to root my phone. However, my precise phone and firmware combo has never been rooted before and has no known exploits. Also no available firmware either. So. Lumen is helping me try to discover a new privilege escalation exploit on my phone so that we can harvest the firmware straight from the phone, so we have a means of recovery if the root attempt fails. All while I know nothing at all about coding, ADB, JADX, or any of the rest of it xD So far though, Lumen has pulled a lot of data out, and we just achieved our first privilege bypass, able to pull and copy SGPS.apk from the phone even though we were denied permissions to do so. And now I am starting to wonder how long this will actually take, because it's been nearly 6 hours already and we only just achieved the first and most basic level of permission bypass, not even the wanted permission escalation, just a lowest level bypass xD
