[Q] adb shell in batch

Hi,
I'm making a batch file (*.bat) for myself to try make some things easier file where I enter commands with adb.exe.
The problem is, any code after 'adb shell' is not executed in the batch.
So if I had a batch with the following:
Code:
adb shell
su
'su' will not be executed and stays at '$'.
It seems like it's too deep for a batch file to enter codes.
I also tried pushing a sh with the same script and run it from adb but then all I get it permission denied.
I have also tried 'adb shell su' without any luck.
Anyone with a solution?

Anyone? Or how about a .rc file that gets su and runs commands...

To execute a script, you can always push your script and then execute it:
Code:
adb push script /sdcard/script
adb shell sh /sdcard/script
As for the commands you have shown, keep in mind that su doesn't simply change the running shell's permissions or the like but creates a new child environment within its own shell. You leave your script and after the new shell has finished, you're back in your old environment and the script continues.

yes, is there any way to automate the script inside the shell and use exit to finally go back to the batch script.

Can you provide me with an example of what you want to achieve?

To execute shell commands from a batch, it doesn't matter if I have to push a script and execute it. It's so that I get su and automate commands after that. Like flash_image, remount, chmod etc..

you will need to use the 'adb shell command' ad 'sh' files

I am trying to create a unix script file that copies files from /dbdata/databases to another folder as a backup.
When I try running the script in adb shell as SU, I get
cd: can't cd to /dbdata/databases
This is on a rooted Captivate. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,
su -c "command" should do the job for you. You will need to enclose the whole of the command in quotes however, otherwise su will be expecting the command to execute, doing nothing.
Example: adb shell "su -c 'sqlite3 /data/data/my.db/databases/mydb.db < /sdcard/dump.sql'" (run from a Unix or Windows(?) shell). Notice the use of "" and ''.
(in this case dump.sql contains .dump, for instance)
Of course the sqlite3 command could be placed within another script on the android device.
Hope that helps.

I looked around a bit and found the answer.
The simple answer is, wrap the command
Code:
cp "source" "destination"
in double quotes!
Thank you grindingbob for the adb shell "su -c 'sh /mnt/sdcard/tmp/2.sh'" command.

No probs I was more referring to executing commands as a su without interacting with adb shell.
As a side-note, cp might not be a good idea, unless you're sure no db accessing is taking place at the same time.

I am pretty sure well as sure as a novice can be! The files I am backing up are log files, call history and text message history.
The results from running a unix script which contains
Code:
cp "/dbdata/databases/com.android.providers.contacts/contacts2.db" "/mnt/sdcard/tmp4/contacts2.db"
cp "/dbdata/databases/com.android.providers.telephony/mmssms.db" "/mnt/sdcard/tmp4/mmssms.db"
cp "/dbdata/databases/com.sec.android.provider.logsprovider/logs.db" "/mnt/sdcard/tmp4/logs.db"
are only the logs.db file is copied, the other two are not.

Had to import it from a Japanese eBay store with a cost of £560 with delivery. First impressions of the phone are very good, nice big clear screen, batter life is okay considering the screen size, calls are crisp and clear, feels good in the hand to hold. Will have more info as I use it over the next couple of weeks

Rooting P-07D success...
I was able to root my Panasonic Eluga Power (P-07D) you can check the screenshot below. As of the moment I am re-writing the steps for others so they can easily follow the instructions as this was written in Japanese (Thanks to http://sithxi.blog49.fc2.com/blog-entry-51.html and goroh_kun. Hopefully this would help others root there device just like me. The only main problem for me now is SIM unlock the device.

Panasonic Eluga Power rooting instructions...
As promised here are the steps: (This seems to look like a temporary root, as you will loose it once the device rebooted) But still it's a good primary step. For the source code it can be downloaded from here. Panasonic Eluga Power Source Code

root privileges acquisition & tomoyo released experimental version in
the p-07d
things to do
Run:
1. >adb restore p-07d.ab
I press OK authentication
After the restore is finished
2. Open another command prompt and type the following:
>adb shell
$cd /data/data/com.android.settings/a/
$ls -l -d
drwxrwxrwx system system a
- check directory called A exists, it is world readable, writable as
show above
3. $ ls -l
⇒ file00 〜 file99 check if files exists
Delete all file from file00 ~ file99
run the command below
4. >adb shell
$cd /data/data/com.android.settings/
$rm -r a/*
change permissions to 777 /persist
This is the tricky part as you need to to do this using two command prompt, one running the adb restore p-07d.ab while the other on the shell command running ln -s /persist a/file99 command.
5. First run: >adb restore p-07d.ab while it is restoring on the other command prompt run in shell $ ln-s / persist a/file99
6. Now lets check the permission to folder /persist by typing on the command prompt that is already in shell.
$ ls -l -d /persist
drwxrwxrwx system system persist <--(you should see this)
Now move on your other command prompt window and run the following commands. (you can download the needed file at this link
Then run the command below to push the files needed for rooting:
>adb push init.cne.rc /data/local/tmp
>adb push p07dgetroot /data/local/tmp
>adb push xsh /data/local/tmp/
>adb push libQ.so /persist
>adb shell rm /persist/init.cne.rc
>adb shell ln -s /data/local/tmp/init.cne.rc /persist/init.cne.rc
>adb reboot
The next step is kinda hard to understand and I qoute: "/persist at Startup directory of the recovery process because it will not be restored and persist the only symbolic links should be a basic /data/local/tmp to keep the change."
After re-move environment variable is changed to check (LD_PRELOAD= /presist/libQ.so and be sure it is).
7. > adb shell
$echo $LD_PRELOAD
/persist/libQ.so <--(you should see this)
8. To Unlock Tomoyo, follow this steps:
> adb shell
$ cat /data/local/tmp/p07dgetroot > /tmp/xsh
$ ls -l /tmp/xsh
-rw-rw-rw- shell shell xsh <--(you should see this)
Make sure that wirelss LAN is ON before doing the command below:
9. WLAN ON / TURN OFF WLAN / TURN ON WLAN (wait to be connected before typing the below command or you will have to do it again)
$ ls -l /tmp/xsh
-rwsr-sr-x root root xsh <--(you should see this)
$ /tmp/xsh
/tmp/xsh
/tmp/.mem fd=3
read ret = 256
write ret = 256
At this stage, Tomoyo is now unlocked
10.
$rm /tmp/xsh
$cat /data/local/tmp/xsh > /tmp/xsh
11. WLAN ON / TURN OFF WLAN / TURN ON WLAN (wait to be connected before typing the below command or you will have to do it again)
$ls -l /tmp/xsh
-rwsr-sr-x root root xsh <--(you should see this)
12. $/tmp/xsh
$(precmd)[email protected]$HOSTNAME:${PWD:-?} $ <--(you should see
this)
Here is a shell with root privileges, so stand up and be able to work a variety. You can also install the su
13. $(precmd)[email protected]$HOSTNAME:${PWD:-?} $
$ mount -o remount,rw /system /system
$ chmod 777 /system/app/
$ chmod 777 /system/bin/
$ chmod 777 /system/xbin/
Open another command prompt:
adb push Superuser.apk /system/app/
adb push su /system/bin/
adb push busybox /system/xbin/
Go back to ($(precmd)[email protected]$HOSTNAME:${PWD:-?} $) window:
chown root.root /system/bin/su
chmod 6755 /system/bin/su
chmod 644 /system/app/Superuser.apk
chown root.shell /system/xbin/busybox
chmod 755 /system/xbin/busybox
chmod 755 /system/app/
chmod 755 /system/bin/
chmod 755 /system/xbin/
Verify root access by installing "Root Checker".
Note: each time you reboot your device you will need to run Tomoyo Unlock script to regain root access (Step 8 - 12) which I re-wrote below:
8. Tomoyo Unlock
> adb shell
$ cat /data/local/tmp/p07dgetroot > /tmp/xsh
$ ls -l /tmp/xsh
-rw-rw-rw- shell shell xsh <--(you should see this)
WLAN ON / OFF / ON
$ ls -l /tmp/xsh
-rwsr-sr-x root root xsh <--(you should see this)
$ /tmp/xsh
/tmp/xsh
/tmp/.mem fd=3
read ret = 256
write ret = 256
At this stage, tomoyo is released
$rm /tmp/xsh
$cat /data/local/tmp/xsh > /tmp/xsh
WLAN ON / OFF / ON
$ls -l /tmp/xsh
-rwsr-sr-x root root xsh <--(you should see this)
$/tmp/xsh
$(precmd)[email protected]$HOSTNAME:${PWD:-?} $ <---(you should end up here to regain root access, if not redo it again)

[Q] removing BT5 arm off xoom

Hey, I installed BT5 arm on the Motorola Xoom wifi and i would like to know how to completely remove it from my device. My device is rooted and i have tried to delete the whole BT5 file with astro file manager and absolute file manager but neither of them worked. I was wondering if anyone knows another way of doing it.

I tried deleting it with commands in terminal emulator but its a read only file. Wouldn't chmod help with that? If so how would i use it?

Go read the backtrack 5 thread. There is a link on how to remove it. That really should be the first thing you check before asking

ok thanks, ill do that the next time i have a problem

I couldn't find it. I think it might be a tiamat BT5 img and i have the remover tool but im not quite sure how to use it. I just flashed it like i would do with a rom but it says installation failed. what would i do to fix that?

Common knowledge - system must be set to RW
Here is an alternate route- manually
How To:
ADB Shell Folder Removal - (we will use BT5 as an example)
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
1. Connect Xoom to pc
2. Boot into recovery
3. Toggle to internal storage as /sdcard
4. mount /data
Enter adb shell via pc
(cd to file location) in this case BT5, is in the sdcard directory
Code:
Code:
cd /sdcard #
(once typed, you will be at.... /data/media prompt)
if after the above command and you are not at the /data/media prompt start over)
Code:
Code:
rm -r BT5
(BT5 is the stubborn Folder)
*Side note ... This works for any other stubborn folder that you want to delete as well...
USE AT YOU OWN RISK - MAKE SURE YOU DO A BACKUP FIRST
If this was helpful Hit The Thanks!

it didnt work it said that rm failed for BT5, permission denied

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system came from. then i tried rm -r BT5 after that and it was still denied. so i tried to
do chmod 777 BT5 to give all permissions and then when i tried to remove it again it was still denied.
I looked up the permissions of the file and its set to rwxrwxr-x. so chmod apparently didn't work

[Q] Nabi XD root

So I have been working on rooting for the Nabi XD. Specifically to grab a dd of mmcblk0p1 and p2 so I can extract kernel and ramdisk to build a TWRP.
The 2 options I have tried are 1) Bin4ry root many Android, 2) Build TWRP based off the different Nabi2 kernel to gain access to /system
Bin4ry exploit fails with mount: Permission denied, when attempting to remount rw with busybox. The device is 4.1.1 so they must have patched it or cherry picked a patch. The build was this year.
The TWRP will boot but with a blank screen. Comparing the config.gz for kernel builds explains the blank screen. ADB is however is up and running, but the internal storage is not seen as a block device. cat proc/partitions is blank.
The third thing of interest is that there is a bin in xbin called su2. su2 -v yields an output of 3.3.
Code:
[email protected]:/system/xbin $ su2 -v
su2 -v
3.3
[email protected]:/system/xbin $ su2 -help
su2 -help
Usage: su [options] [--] [-] [LOGIN] [--] [args...]
Options:
-c, --command COMMAND pass COMMAND to the invoked shell
-h, --help display this help message and exit
-, -l, --login pretend the shell to be a login shell
-m, -p,
--preserve-environment do not change environment variables
-s, --shell SHELL use SHELL instead of the default /system/bin/sh
-v, --version display version number and exit
-V display version code and exit,
this is used almost exclusively by Superuser.apk
[email protected]:/system/xbin $ ls -l su2
-rwxr-xr-x root shell 91728 2013-02-02 07:03 su2
How can I put this to use? Just running su2 over adb results in nothing, and through Term.apk as permission denied. I obviously need the associated Superuser.apk to grant access, but it seems hardcoded to look for su. I looked through the source to see if I could recompile to look for su2, but I don't know if it's as simple as that.
Any thoughts?

Strange they left the su binary there.
But first : show me a "ls -l su2", we need to see if it has correct permissions or if it is just there and cannot do anything
Second: just try "su2 -c /system/bin/sh", if you are lucky it starts a rootshell.
Regards

I thought it was weird too that is was left behind, and hopefully an easy way to even gain temp root. If I can just dd the boot partition it's smooth sailing.
[email protected]:/system/xbin $ ls -l su2
-rwxr-xr-x root shell 91728 2013-02-02 07:03 su2
No setuid bit set? Should be -rwsr-sr-x?
I tried the second thing via adb. It just echos the command and prompt stays $. Using something like Term.apk yields permission denied. Tried different quotes for passing -c. Any symlinking tricks?
[email protected]:/system/xbin $ su2 -c /system/bin/sh
su2 -c /system/bin/sh
1|[email protected]:/system/xbin $ su2 -c '/system/bin/sh'

i can't root Samsung galaxy a02 -- SM-A022F/DS Build No: A022FXXU2BUI3 , android 11 , i dont know what to do for rooting and i dont have firmware file (bootloader unlocked)

To get the superuser access ( AKA root ) to be able to control various aspects of Android OS means you need to perform a certain modification that will root your phone's Android. An unlocked bootloader isn't needed to root Android.
Here is what you have to do to root your device's Android:
Replace Android's Toybox binary - what is a restricted version by default - by unrestricted Toybox v0.8.5.
This e.g. can get achieved by means of a Windows command script making use of ADB coomands.
