Capturing OTA Update URL For Noobs (No logcat required)
Hi guys this thread is for those people who want to capture the link for OTA Update but do not know how to read logcat. This is a very easy process i have made which involves root,xposed module...and 5 min (To get the link of the OTA ofcourse download is going to take time depending upon the length of the OTA update data.
Many people can't read logcat and get confused by it in this method you have to just press buttons only and nothing more....
Requirement-
-Rooted Device
-ADB Drivers
-Xposed Module
-Url Snooper (Windows Software)
-Reverse Tethering (Windows Software/Android Companion Apps)
-Little to no brains....:silly:
Note- If the ADB Driver Does Not work you need to find the driver which is compatible to your device online.
Links to the software makers-
-Xposed Module
-Reverse Tethering
-URL Snooper
The Links for the software and apps are in the attachment below-
I have broken the procedure into 6 post to help you understand better-
Press thanks if this helps
Install Computer Software
Follow the following procedure below to install URL Snooper and Winpcap-
1) Install URL Snooper
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2) After the installation you will notice another setup opens automatically which is the winpcap setup install that too-
Setting up the Device
Now you need to set up your device-
1) Make sure that your Device is rooted
2) Make sure your ADB is installed (If you don't know what adb is then check it online and also make sure that adb drivers are installed in you computer)
3) First install Xposed Framework (link Above)
4) Go into the app and tap the Framework button
5) Then tap the "Install/Update" button and reboot
5) Then install USB Tunnel and hack connect Service app
6) After that again go inside the Xposed Framework and click the module button and then tick mark the hack connect service app (Don't click on the icon only click on the checkbox on the side
Preparing URL Snooper
Now you need to prepare the settings of URL Snooper such that you can use it to capture the right URL-
1)Start url snooper (In start Menu)
2) Now Go to files tab and click advance such that the interface would look like this
3) Now in the protocol filter change the show multimedia to show all.
4) You will see a lot of URL Click on clear results and then make sure none of your software are useing internet (Check background processes like utorrent also) also make sure none of your app in device is using internet also
Activating Reverse Tethering app
Now you download the reverse Tethering v3.19.zip file and extract it this software helps to transfer your internet connection from your computer to your device-
1) Connect the data cable from the computer to the device
2) Extract the zip and press the androidtool exe file
3) After that check that in the select a device section you will have something like 0123456789ABCDEF so but something must be there if not you don't have adb driver or your adb driver is incompatible. ADB Driver Link
4) Press the connect button and a script execution window shall popup
5) After which it would look something like this
Now to check open a browser and type any page a it should load and also a graph shall come under the download meter of the android reverse tethering software. Note- When you minimizse this app it minimizses in the system tray
Capturing Update Link
Now it is finally the time to capture the URL of the OTA Update.zip-
1) Just to be sure Again clear the results in the URL Snooper Software
2) Go to the the Update Location (It is mostly located in Settings->About tablet->Check for new version software) and press the download button after which it might ask you if you want to download through WLAN pres continue anyway button
3) The download will start
4) In the URL Snooper you shall see a new link associated with the GET zip protocol copy the link and paste it somewhere safe the close everything and download the zip file ( You can cancel the download in the device now if you want) GOOD LUCK
Note-i have heard somewhere that download accelerator like idm sometimes corrupt the download so be carefull.
Bonus Function
This post has nothing to do with the capturing the update but since these software are awesome i would like you to know all the awesome function of the software-
URL SNOOPER- This software can be use to detect all the url that comes into the computer from any software in the computer thus it can be used to download vedios that you might be playing or songs.(Use Multimedia filter)
The main reason i use this software is to download offline installer files of program. (In an online windows installer the setup first downloads the offline installer quietly in the temporary files folder located in the C drive and then deletes the file after the installation is completed) Some softwares do not provide offline installers so this is a nice way to leech the exe file and store it.
REVERSE TETHERING- This software can be used to provide internet connection to your device from you computer (Its usefull when you have a fast internet port but no wifi modem) you can use this to update apps browser net etc.....etc
HOPE THIS METHOD WILL HELP EVERYONE AND ALSO WILL SOLVE THE PROBLEM OF FINDING OTA URL IN THE NET (IF YOU SEARCH ONLY NEXUS AND SAMSUNG URL ARE MOSTLY FOUND SINCE MOST OF THE DEVELOPMENT ARE PRESENT IN THAT DEVICE LINE)

You can do this VERY EASY! but I'll recommend that you first install Launcher Pro or ADW (you can sync the app using the BlueStacks Android app) then set as your default home. Once you have done that you can open Launcher Pro trough the gadget at any time.
Then open Eclipse go to your "Device Manage" tab and under "Android Remote Device" add a new entry like this:
Name: (whatever you want to name it)
Host: 127.0.0.1
Port: 5555
And you are done! BlueStacks is WAYYYYYYYYYY faster to lunch apps that the regular android emulator. I did a small app for testing/debug and it installed/lunch/debug just fine on BlueStacks.
I cant for the life of me find the device manager could you explain how to get it to appear?

On the Eclipse menu go to:
- "Window", "Show View", "Other..."
- Then type on the entry text box "Device". It should show under the "Sequoyah" folder.
Today I notice that it automatically added "localhost:5555" under "Android Remote Device" next to my manually added entry and the Eclipse DDMS Console was giving me some errors. I restarted BlueStacks and everything seems to be ok now (the automatic added entry is gone now and no more errors too). Lucky that a BlueStacks restart is SUPER fast!

I don't found Device Manager in Android Remote Device in Eclipse, anyone can help me some guides ?
Hi,
how do you install your homemade app for testing/debugging (need official certificate) ? Your bluestacks player seems to be windowed ? how do you make that ? thanks...
Hello!
I'm an artist on an Android project and have very little knowledge on the technical side of things.
Any chance you could expand this how-to a bit more in-depth, as I have trouble even finding "Device Manager" and don't know what Launcher Pro and ADW do and where to find them.
I'd really appreciate it!
It really works! Great! Thanks.
I struggled over this for an hour, because I could not see Device Manager tab in Eclipse. So i downloaded MotoDev Studio (It is SDK + Eclipse + all plugins needed) and now i run bluestack smoothly
More precise way to do this:
1. Download and install BlueStack
2. Download and install MotoDev Studio (Its free)
3. Download Launcher pro or ADW launcher .apk
4. Right click on the .apk, select "open with", "Browse"
go to C:\Program Files (x86)\BlueStacks (for 64bit system)
or
go to C:\Program Files\BlueStacks (for 32bit system)
and select HD-ApkHandler.exe
Launcher should be installed after a moment.
5. Open MotoDev
6. select Device Managment tab
7. Right click on Android Remote Device and click New...
8. Name it like you want, for example "BlueStack"
9. fill Host and Port boxes with
Host: 127.0.0.1
Port: 5555
10. Click OK
Now everything should work. You can close MotoDev and try to open BlueStack and then select Launcher. Now bluestack is fast as native android device and games run smooth Thx to riveraju
Must come back here when I have time to read lol thanks a lot for this man. I installed the ask last June and still haven't gotten the emulator to work XD

Is this still a working method? I'm using a Mac and have just downloaded Bluestacks but I can't even connect to it through adb nor it shows up under my device list.
Any other method to debug my app through Bluestacks with a Mac?
Do you Any tricks to emulate system apps?
Sent from my Nokia 3210 using xda app-developers app
Hey guys,
so I installed BlueStacks as I already had Eclipse installed and "kinda" followed the guides to this method.
I start Bluestacks player and then I start eclipse and look at the device tab and see this after opening Blood Brothers:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/lja2rj4wziycsgq/eclipse.png
Many players say that it should be faster after doing this but I see no difference to playing without Eclipse. Am I missing something, a command or something? Or is that all there is, Eclipse is now connected and running with Bluestacks?
fios
Good stuff, it sped it up just barely to handle the verizon fios mobile tv app. now i can watch live tv on my laptop
is there an alternative to this like regitry hack? I mean I have to download Eclipse or MotoDev which is around 200 mb of size just to put this trick?

I'm jealous of you. After logging in I get a back screen only. What's the secret?
Thanks
Instead of searching for device management tab you can simply enter
adb connect 127.0.0.1
after starting bluestacks...
bluestacks certificates
Have you managed to install new certificates on Bluestacks ? Seems to me like Security/Credential Storage menu is completely missing as well as other features. I understand that this is just an emulator but we need many other features for development.

i dont know how this work, but when I tried its not working.. anyway, i can't find and download link for motodev or even locate the device manager.. anyone know where I can dowload the motodev or any idea to make the bluestack faster... i played samurai siege, jungle heat and other same game and its still too slow...
For those who want to show some app tutorials or a walkthrough of their phone or a ROM!!
!!!!!This app does not record ACTUAL VIDEO but instead, a line/batch of screenshots which you can put together in a video yourself!!!!
You will need the foll things:
1. JDK
First of all you will need to get JDK 1.6+ installed on your system.
NOTE: that you may need to manually add Java directory to your PATH variable if ddms and/or Ashot won’t launch.
2. Android SDK
Follow this link to get latest Android SDK for Windows platform.
Download installer_r12-windows.exe.
Launch downloaded installation package and accept defaults.
Click Finish to open SDK Manager.
Go to the next section to install USB Driver.
Note: Please remember the full path to the SDK for further steps. In this guide we will assume that SDK path is “C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk-windows“.

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
3. Windows USB driver & Platform Tools
Here are the steps.
1.Please make sure your phone is NOT CONNECTED to your computer.
2.(Skip this step if you have SDK Manager running already after installation) Run SDK Manager.exe from SDK path. And wait until it has finished refreshing sources.
3.(Only on the first run of SDK Manager) Click Cancel since you don’t need anything but Platform-tools and USB driver for screen capture application.
4.Select Available packages on the left panel.
5.Expand the Android Repository and set check next to Android SDK Platform-tools.
6.Expand Third party Add-ons –> Google Inc. add-ons and set check next to Google USB Driver Package.
7.Click Install Selected.
8.Click Accept All to accept License and then click Install.
9.When install finishes, the USB Driver will be in “C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk-windows\google-usb_driver“.
10.Close SDK Manager.
11.Connect your phone. You will be prompted for driver, which is located in the path mentioned above.
For more details installing driver please visit http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html.
It could be the end story, but there are some extra steps:
Make sure that standard SDK tool ddms.bat (from C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk-windows\tools) launches successfully. Otherwise Screen Capture Tool won’t work either.
If ddms won’t launch, add the platform-tools to your system PATH variable like this: Right-click My computer –> Advanced –> Environment Variables –> select Path in System Variables box –> Edit –> append “;C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools” to the existing Path. Please note the semicolon “;” preceding the path being appended.
If ddms won’t launch even after you have accomplished the step above, try disconnecting your phone, then launch ddms and then connect your phone back.
And also:
Copy adb.exe from platform-tools to tools folder.
Also copy AdbWinApi.dll and AdbWinUsbApi.dll from platform-tools to tools folder.
4. USB Debugging for Android
To capture screens from your Android phone, it needs to have USB Debugging setting activated.
On your Android device click Menu button.
Click Settings.
Click Applications
Click Development
Make sure USB Debugging is checked.
5. Android Screen Capture.
Wheeew. Now you have all set for Android Screen Capture.
1.Download latest installation package from SourceForge: Download
2.Run AndroidScreenCapureSetup.vX.X.exe.
3.Follow onscreen instructions.
4.When finished, run application and go to File -> Set Android SDK folder to set SDK path.
After you've recorded your session you can put those pictures into a video maker and it will look just like you've grabbed a video of your screen!!
Please post if something does not work on your device or your system and provide specific info
(Obviously this is not my own app but its good to discuss if there are common problems!!)
Thanks!
I just tried, and instead of a video it creates png images.
How to capture video?
EDIT:
Seems that I didn't understand well. The app doesn't create a video, just a batch of screenshots in the selected folder.

That's what it is....
You can just line up the screenshots into a video its one and the same
Yeah, it' s not exactly the same.
So, this is basic a screen capture app, not a video capture.
I think you must change the title because is misleading.
Nice app though, thanks.
Hit the button dude!!!
What??
I mean hit the thanks button...but today I noticed that you already did!
i will try it and let you know about the results

ALL THE APPLICATIONS/SOFTWARES WHICH YOU WILL BE RUNNING ON WINDOWS PLATFORM, WHILE LAUNCHING SETUP USING EXE FILE OR STARTING SOFTWARE AFTER INSTALLATION BY DOUBLE CLICKING SHORTCUT, DO IT BY RIGHT CLICKING ON IT & CLICK "RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR" EVERY TIME. Works on windows 7 x64 as tested by me
these are the exact steps which i followed, if you think some of them are un-necessarily added, then you can skip them (for advance pro users)
STEP 1:
Download following archived files & extract them & keep those extraxted folders on desktop for easy access.

STEP 3:
CONNECT PHONE
Make sure phone is prepared for connection as per first note above
serach online for drivers (it will take long time...be patient)
all drivers will get installed
make sure there's atleast a driver installed for each of the hardware....there must not be any device left with no driver at all....triangular yellow mark isnt an issue but just make sure that some driver is installed for each device.
when online search gives up, you will need to click install/update driver manually by pointing to those extracted folders above (i.e. on your Desktop)
you may need to restart system quite a few times during each of the driver installation
DISCONNECT PHONE AT THE END
STEP 4:
Install moborobo PC suite....run setup as administrator
download from here
.
http://www.moborobo.com/products/moborobo.html
.
open it as administrator
CONNECT PHONE....let it install drivers & recognize your phone as "Sprd-B51"
after you make sure that all drivers are installed, disconnect the phone from PC, exit/KILL PC suite completely (from notification area as well)
exit PC suite from phone status bar...stop/KILL PC suite apps in phone & uninstall them.
STEP 5:
download & install (run setup as administrator) Root Master (latest version VRoot_1.7.5.5379_Setup.exe)
Keep SuperSU installed in ur device. download it from play store. dont open it now.
connect phone to PC
Open root master by running it as administrator (else it wont succeed)
.
.
Click button highlighted in red rectangle in pic above (skip this step if device gets recognized automatically as soon as you open root master as happened with me....recognized as "Sprd-B51")
.
.
Follow and click button highlighted in red rectangle-which i am showing in above picture ! your device is now connected to this software & ready to be rooted
Click on root and wait !
.
.
it will automatically reboot your device as shown in pic below after root is successful
.
.
You can see this Chinese superuser in your menu! (icon may differ but in while & light blue color combination only)
.
.
open SuperSU grant permisson like this
.
.
supersu will automatically install su binary (need internet connection)! just grant the permisson and let the supersu uninstall Chinese superuser
.
.
Your device is now rooted

I'm extremely sorry but I cant help you with backing up ROMs n etc bcz I really dont know anything about the same
you can take help other members, above mentioned threads &/or other threads for reference
imho, if u just want to uninstall apps then link2sd application is enough to manage ur storage. with it u can integrate updated apps into system , make third party to system app & free up space on internal memory.
use uninstall master to uninstall system apps it has a feature to back-up the app being uninstalled, so that in case if u find system getting unstable after uninstalling app, u can restore it
IMPORTANT NOTE
just take decisions on installing system apps cleverly.
if u wanna replace only system app for a specific task then first integrate third party app into system & then uninstall system app after confirming that system is stable (eg. stock android keyboard after uninstalling other two third party system keyboards)
I've already uninstalled many pre-installed apps & also some of system apps replaced by third party apps for lower ram consumption &/or better user experience
also with free up space in ROM, I made some of third party essential apps to system apps to free up internal memory (right now 70MB free)
eg. replaced system launcher with ADW & using android kitkat theme package with it, made both of them system apps so that i dnt need to set the theme every time i restart phone
also replaced stock keyboard with google hindi input keyboard as system app(bcz stock keyboard wasnt accurate to touch responses & with google keyboard, u can type in hindi & marathi)
replaced tiny torchlight with a third party torch app as system app(size just few KBs) bcz i wanted only torch, not additional features.
also now M-indicator, whatsapp, link2sd, app saver, gmail etc are system apps.

have a great day
sir my mobile beyond b51+ keeps restarting again and again can you plz tell me how to fix it or how to open mobile in safe mode.
DOES IT WORK? I am yet to receive my SGN3, so I haven't been able to test.
I made this tool originally for SonyEricsson Xperia X10, but have now modified it to work for our Samsung Galaxy Note 3. I hope it will make life a little easier when modifying files on the device. It uses ADB to pull and push files, change file permissions and much more - so users don't need to remember long command prompt/terminal emulator commands! It also has a nifty little application manager, which allows for quick installation, backup, and removal of both pre and self -installed software. It has a LogCat function to read and save logs on the go when investigating errors, as well as functionality to decompile/recompile APK, JAR and ODEX files, sign and zipalign APKs, and decompile System images. Finally, straight ADB shell access is integrated.

4. Run SGN3ModTool.jar!
*This step is only needed for the Decompile System function in the ROM Manager.
Note: Make sure your phone is connected in debug mode, you have root privileges, and unsecured your device's shell. The application will try to unsecure your shell if you haven't already, but worst case scenario you might have to do this manually.
Also, the manage ROMs functionality is still experimental, and the Recompile System function is disabled. If you know how these processes can be automated, let me know and I will incorporate the functionality.
If you have problems, let me know and I will try to sort them out with you. Keep in mind that often when a modification goes wrong, you can simply push back the original files and reboot. So keep backups handy!
Reserved in case of future expansion.
Very interesting, will test when i get back home. Thanks!
Sound good mate. I'll give it a go I reckon
Wow sounds awesome thank you very much
Does it backup app data as well? This looks very promising. As it is java based, would it work on other platforms?

I watched my screen. I got no popups other than the original "usb connected" popup when I plugged in the usb cable.

this actually does work!
if somone still wants to use it for whatever reason you can:
get a kernel that is not SElinux enforcing (permissive).*
get adb insecure by chainfire and switch to insecure mode.
be sure that in the app it says:
Binary: Insecure
USB debugging: Enabled
should work, at least for me it did.
not sure if every custom kernel(permissive) works.
*lastest wanam exposed module has an experimental feature to set the selinux to permissive.
i havent tried it but maybe you can do the above with stock kernel and just setting permissive mode in wanam.
edit: does not work with stock kernel, at least for me.
i have not tested every function of this tool but connecting, pushing, pulling and so on work.
there are other tools that can do that, i wrote this just for information.
works well here! well done
cant get it to work on mac
thanks MrRusch for your great work!
I am a newbie about these stuff so forgive me if these are questions are stupid~
I was trying to use it to deodex the SamsungChineseIME apk and I got 2 questions want to ask.
1. when it asks for "Install Framework?", I choose the framework-res.apk extracted from my rom. But I also notice there is a twframeworkres.apk in the rom, do I need to include that also?
2. I came to a prompt asking me for "Select framework directory to reference" (as attached screen), I was hold back since I don't know what to choose for this.
Thank you again for your effort and this great tool!

doesnt seem to work with me - it cant establish an adb connection with my phone
no problems using other adb tools
if I run adb devices from a cmd promp it detects my phone
also each time I run the program it asks me to keep replacing files then it brings up an error about adb files (but these files are in the folder)
iv attached screenshots
edit
ok so iv done some more testing - turns out this app wont work if you have an adb emulator installed - for example if you have bluestacks installed make sure you end task it or exit the programme before running this else it wont work as it will get confused between the physical adb device and the emulator
Still get the error messages about files and asking to replace files at each start up
once I disabled the emulator it works fine in terms of connection however the screen shot feature I still cant seem to make work
It now says it has successfully taken a screenshot but the screenshot is not in the folder
edit again - ok so you put the screenshot bug in your pdf file as a bug but it would be helpful if you actually put the bugs on the op of this thread
Your screenshot prog looks just like ADB ScreenCapture by majdinj xda - it gives exactly the same read outs
The android screen monitor is basically a copy of droidATScreen which I have put in the attachment however droidAtScreen can also take screenshots and continuous screenshots too
Well Done!! GONNA TRY THIS.
Great work
gonna try this good work

You are not typing "x" to exit. So integrated cleanup is not executed. So you get that overwrite error.
Now delete all files (except toolkit exe and readme) and try again.
I ask you to go through Readme file which explains bugs and why they are in programme.
My programme is much similar to majdini's because ff2png (file used to take screenshot in recovery) used by him and me is taken from same source (GPLv2 licenced).
Also screenshot terminal command is universal for all androids.
I didn't knew about majdini's programme. But when you mentioned it, I checked his one. My commands are differently expressed (commands same as explained above, but code is different). If you use his code sometimes there is error.
But my code does not give error in batch format.
(but problem is after exe conversion, this has a bug. Check readme for more info).

Go through Readme. It contains all info.

to aviod the error of the adb files you have to run program as administrator
you should include run as admin in your exe file in future builds
Sorry bro, real bad CMD to EXE converter you use, I could easily find your .bat file here:
EDIT: Removed.
as far as your ADB device select is concerned use the command (adb.exe -d) this will direct the adb to the first USB ANDROID ADB Device
and I would like to know Setup program you used...
