[Guide] Write a batch script + ADB/Fastboot commands - Android General

Write a batch script with ADB and Fastboot commands​
1. Introduction:
Hi guys,
First of all, I've some words to say:
I've decided to make a tutorial for beginners how to write a windows batch file with ADB and Fastboot commands. I think it's quite easy and everybody can learn it.
My target is, that all of you can write your own batch files to control your device.
You don't need any knowledges about batch files or similar things. It's just helpful to know the adb commands and how they work.
I hope you'll understand every step, I make. The guide is splitted in several parts.
If you want, I'll add some more tips and tricks.
2. Requirements:
Windows Computer
Notepad++
ADB Tools
Just search on the internet for those files. They are easy to find.
Create a folder and place your adb/fastboot files in it. Make sure that they are working
Install Notepad++ on any place on your computer
Open Notepad++ and create a new file
Go to Languages -> Batch and activate it
Save the file as batch file in your adb folder
Well, I think now we can start with the main commands.
3. Main batch commands:
In this section, I'll explain you important main commands for your batch file.
Don't enter the quotationmarks in your file.
"@echo off" - Is always at the beginning of your file. This command blocks the output of your command in the cmd
"echo TEXT" - Here you enter "echo" and your text at the beginning of the line. This text appears in the cmd. E.g. : "echo Hello this is my first file"
"echo." - Will create a blank line
"pause" - Will create a pause in your file. The file continues by pressing any key. A message for that appears in the cmd
"pause>nul" - Has the same function like "pause" but you won't get the output in the cmd, that you need to press any key to continue
":TEXT" - Creates a certain section in your script
"goto TEXT" - This command brings you to the section "TEXT" in your code. "TEXT" can e.g. include any certain command, you want to execute
Declaration of variables:
Now I'll show you, how to declare a variable
"set test= Hello XDA-Members"
The variable "test" includes the string "Hello XDA-Members"
To access this variable, you need to enter %test%
"set /p input= Enter your variable:"
Here, the user needs to enter something in the cmd. This input will be saved in the variable "input".
To access this variable, you need to enter %input%
You can select the variable name as you want.
Now we have already some commands, so let's try them out.
In my example, I'll add comments to the commands, which are written in blue. Please don't add them to yours.
The second "@echo off" is not necessary
So, now we save the file and run it with a double-click.
Your script should look like this:
(Not everything is in mine included)
Making a selection menu:
Now, we make a selection meu where the user has several options
Step by step:
Create a list with "echo" commands
Create an input variable
Create an if statement
Let's take a look at my example code.
You should already understand the old commands.
As you can see, this is still quite simple
If everything worked right, you should see this
Well, for the beginning that's enough. For the next step, you should know all these commands and how they work.
4. Including ADB/Fastboot commands:
Okay, now we'll start to add ADB and Fastboot commands to our batch file for controling our device with our tool.
The previous steps are the base for the following commands
First of all, we start with a quite easy command.
We want a batch file, which reboot our phone into Recovery,Bootloader or normal.
Now we need the adb files in our folder
Step by step:
Create a selection menu
Include the ADB/Fastboot commands
Let's take a look at my example code.
Our Reboot-Tool should look like this
These commands are still easy. You just need to enter your adb command
E.g.: adb.exe reboot recovery
Now we'll execute our file
You can see, that this tool is already very useful.
So, Congratulation to everybody who came so far
Are you ready for the next step? Let's go!
5. Including advanced ADB/Fastboot commands:
Okay, now we will add some more difficult commands to our script.
You need to know the old commands and how the work
Step by step:
Reboot device in different modes
Flash a custom recovery
Do a Factory Reset
Install Apps
Ok, let's take again a look at our example code
I won't explain the old commands, only the new ones.
Take your time and read it slowly.
The script is splitted in two pictures, so read both.
As you can see, we have now some more difficult codes, which include flashing Recoverys with certain file names.
Again, Congratulation who came so far.
6. Additional Commands:
- SOON -
7. Hints:
Now we are almost done with our first batch script.
At the end I have some more useful hints for you
Have always a clear structure
Take your time, it may not work for the first time
Read some other Batch-Guides on the internet
Just discover the batch coding and learn new commands, you can add to your script.
There are a lot of posibilities.
You can download the last script and the pictures from my dropbox:

Moreover check out my Universal_ADB-Helper, which is based on this:

8. Last words:
Now we are done with our batch script. I hope you enjoyed my tutorial and that it was easy to understand for beginners.
Moreover I want to say thank you at RootJunky who inspired me to start with batch scripting.

Hi,
Thanks
I think the difference between our threads is that mine is a tutorial how do code such a tool and yours is the finished tool.
Some time ago, I've done something similar:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/utility-universaladb-helper-1-0-t2969165

Very Very DOPE! Im wondering if you can help me with something. I have taken your script to automate alot of my processes. Could you possibly help me with this problem im having?!?! Thank you in advanced!
Code:
:installA
cls
echo.
echo You will install an app
echo The app need to be in your ADB-Folder
echo Before you hit enter INSTALL "iKoNo"" on your FireTV
echo.
pause
echo.
echo You can find your IP by going to Settings > About > Network on your device
set /p ip=Enter the IP of your FireTV or FireTVStick:
adb kill-server
adb connect %ip%
adb install "C:\Users\demo\Desktop\FireTV\kodi.apk"
adb install "C:\Users\demo\Desktop\FireTV\settings.apk"
adb install "C:\Users\demo\Desktop\FireTV\llama.apk"
[CODE]Ok here I want some code to go where you can check and verify the top three were installed and if not stop the script i guess using
adb shell pm list packages <- just dont know the proper way of doing it. And does the syntax below look right? Im trying to mimic the functions that adbfire does to automate the LLAMA install. Posted below

Thanks for the response though lol

Hi,
Can you see what is the problem for my script? Fastboot devices doesn't appear...

Why do you switch into another directory?
Place your batch and adb/fastboot files in the same folder.
Then try the following:
Code:
fastboot.exe
fastboot.exe devices
pause
Otherwise you can try to use yours but use "fastboot.exe" instead of "fastboot". Hope it helps.

How I created my batch file to run commands in windows, for Minimal ADB and Fastboot
LG V30 Just factory defaulted.
Here is a snipit of the text I used to create my windows batch file for Minimal ADB and Fastboot, to give app freezer by MobizSystems, owner permissions and then to disable 1 program I can't uninstall, and then to uninstall a bunch of programs from the current user.
This batch file is run AFTER installing app freezer, then uninstalling my google account (can't apply owner permissions if there is an account installed). The pauses are to allow me to to verify each different command ran properly, and to terminate the program if a command is not running properly.
This is NOT meant to be a complete list of programs to uninstall, just a small list to show you how the batch file worked for me.

I'm trying to create a little batch file to restart my new TicWatch pro it seems Not to measure my HR and other vitals whilst working out so I've thought that if I retstart it before going out for a run than it will be more likely to read correctly this is what I have now but it won't run the darn thing. I can do it manually but I'm missing the proper commands to automate in batch file format::
@Echo off
echo here we go.
pause
C:\Users\death\Downloads\MyBot.run788\lib\adb\adb.exe
adb devices
adb connect 192.168.0.53:5555
adb shell “pm clear com.google.android.gms && reboot”
Sorry scratch "pm clear" command darn it..
Also for some reason when tethered my PC doesn't see the TicWatch but I am able to connect via IP
Scratch that, it obviously wants to make me a liar I just tried again::
C:\Users\death\Downloads\MyBot.run788\lib\adb>adb devices
List of devices attached
192.168.0.53:5555 device
What happens::
I double click the batch file Echos:: here we go with request to unpause and then Nothing. I know its something simple but its alluding me pretty well.

i'm trying to create a batch to flash custom twrp recovery(for xiaomi devices), but if device is not connected it throws
error: no devices/emulators found
and i want to catch it to... well retry the rebooting to fastboot(aka bootloader), and i have zero idea how to do that, so i thought i could find some help here

Yes, I think so.

I just purchased a Note10+. I tried to delete the bloatware using platform tools on linux. I am unable to do this. I am entering adb uninstall -k and then the package. I get an error saying the -k function can't work because it can't delete the data. It mentions doing an ADB shell which I have no idea how to do. Any suggestions as to what will work to delete the bloatware. I used this command on my Note9 and it worked then. Please advise.

Follow the tutorial/thread over at S10 forum. Worked fine for me

The general command is as follows:
Code:
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 <package name>
As an example:
Code:
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.samsung.android.app.spage
The complete for adb packages for the Note 9 is here,and it worked for my Note 10+
Give it a read and see if it helps.

Since it is now complicated and expensive to get Bootloader code for Huawei devices with EMUI 9 or newer (even EMUI 8 firmwares from July 2018 and onwards), let's discuss tips for useful modding without root:
Ads and analitycs can be blocked by dns66 app:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-dns66-source-host-ad-blocker-root-t3487497
Dns66 can auto-update from the same hosts sources used also for updating AdAway (while AdAway requires root):

User can also define his own blacklist and whitelist - for how-to details see (in German, Chrome can automatically translate to the language of your choice):
https://www.android-hilfe.de/forum/...moeglich-ist.900205-page-3.html#post-11742906
Additionally, particular apps can be completely whitelisted from being affected by dns66 (there is no such feature in e.g. AdAway)

To block ads in Chrome (and its derivatives) with dns66 or even AdAway, following steps are additionally needed:

Unwanted (system) apps can be disabled or uninstalled (for default/current user) by ADB commands (again, root not required) - for complete guides, see here:

Of course, Developer menu and ADB debugging must be enabled (few clicks)
To find out package names for particular apps, install and use an app like AppInspector or PackageManager (from Playstore)

Some configurational properties can be also modified without root:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=79249421&postcount=3
Again, you need adb and then SetEdit app (install from Playstore).
Give write permissions to SetEdit by adb:
Code:
adb shell pm grant by4a.setedit22 android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
Open SetEdit, and therefrom Secure Table,
change Hide_Pocket_Mode value from 1 to 0
I've similarly enabled setting for Virtual HD sound in calls, see screenshots

Similarly, additional statistic can be enabled in GSam Battery Monitor, with adb command instead of by granting it root permission:
Code:
adb shell pm grant com.gsamlabs.bbm.rootcompanion android.permission.BATTERY_STATS

Regarding to playing YouTube in background and blocking it ads, I've tried YouTube Vanced app, two versions v12.32.59 and the latest v14.21.54:
https://vanced.app/
YT Vanced can play in background and block ars (most important for me) and it comes with practically the same interface as standard YT applicatioon
It works almost the same as Magisk module YT Vanced, but the app does not require root and (unlike the Magisk module) it requires an additional MicroG app if you want to sign to your YT accoount.
Unfortunately, I was unable to makle it sign with MicroG 0.2.6.17455:
- If I try to Sign in from YT Vanced v14.21.54, it calls MicroG but MicroG was unable to sign to my existing YT account(s), popping out: Please Check your Network Connection, Tap to retry
(I've tested also with DNS66 switched off, to make sure it does not interfere)
- With MicroG installed, YT Vanced v12.32.59 crashes for me right away on starting (with MicroG not installed, it works fine)
There are few other replacements for the YT app like OGYouTube, TubeMate, iTube, or NewPipe, allowing download and/or playing in the background.
E.g., with iTube I was able to play in the background but also to login to the YT account (but interface is somewhat strange, user must get accustommed to)
However, ATM, I will stick with this latest YT Vanced v12.32.59, since I'm used to the very similar Vanced module on rooted phones

Logcat can be also enabled without root, install Logcat 4U from Google Play:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sam.logcat
and enable it Read Logs permission:
Code:
adb shell pm grant com.sam.logcat android.permission.READ_LOGS
PIN can be also unlocked with ADB, if it e.g. happens that you by mistake remove/disable virtual keyboards (replace XXXX with your PIN):
Code:
adb shell input text XXXX

Not related to root but to (adb and) fastboot - following commands are useful when phone is bricked to read IMEI(s) and Ser num, info about Bootloader, model, cust and possibly build number from the last used stock firmware
Boot to fastboot:
- switch off
- connect to PC (e.g., Mininal ADB and Fastboot must be installed)
- press and keep pressing Vol-
- boot by Pow
And execute as bat script
Code:
fastboot devices
PAUSE
fastboot oem get-bootinfo
PAUSE
fastboot oem get-psid
PAUSE
fastboot oem get_hwnff_ver
PAUSE
fastboot oem hwdog certify begin
PAUSE
fastboot oem get-product-model
PAUSE
fastboot oem get-build-number
PAUSE
fastboot oem oeminforead-SYSTEM_VERSION
PAUSE
fastboot getvar vendorcountry
PAUSE
REM fastboot getvar rescue_enter_recovery
PAUSE
fastboot reboot

Free of charge method for updating to Approved firmwares (not received yet by OTA) by HiSuite and Firmware Finder - no root, TWRP or unlocked boot loader required.
Original XDA post:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78850439&postcount=1334
More details (Chrome can automatically translate from German):
https://www.android-hilfe.de/forum/...s-mit-hisuite-und-firmware-finder.930081.html
Note:
This method is similar in concept to HSTool (originating from FunkyHuawei) + HiSuite method:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-20-pro/how-to/manual-upgrading-mate-20-pro-bl-locked-t3905924
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-view-20/how-to/hstool-upgrading-firmware-bl-locked-t3948040
https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p30-pro/how-to/guide-how-to-ota-update-p30-pro-wipe-t3953138
Both methods don't require unlocked Bootloader, both use patched, particular versions of HiSuite and trick the HiSuite to download/install a stock firmware but not from the Huawei server.
Differences:
- In the method here, phone must be running Firmware Finder, and FF triggers the Team MT server to provide download of selected firmware for HiSuite.
- In the HSTool method, HSTool provides the firmware to HiSuite.

Interesting:
MiXPlorer is able to read e.g. /system, /vendor and /proc partitions.
You can browse through, read textual files, copy to Internal memory.
Of course, cannot write to (delete, change, create new files, etc)
Also, it cannot read /data partition
Tested also with Terminal Emulator, it can do similar - see screenshots
Btw, even if the phone was rooted (again, it isn't, BL is locked), /system and /vendor partitions would still be read only (EMUI 9.1, EROFS) - but nevertheless, Magisk would supposedly be able to provide systemless hosts access to AdAway

Is there any way to enhance sound (like with Viper4Android or JamesDSP), without root?
Eg, Equilizer - Bass Booster is free.and does not require root:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=music.basss.booster.effect.equalizer
As equilizer it works great but If you highly boost the bass or volume, sound will deteriorate

There is even an easier way to substitute AdAway on a non-rooted device. Just define dns.adguard.com for your private DNS server - see a screenshot below
However, compared to AdAway or DNS66, here you cannot add your own blacklist and whitelist, and you have no freedom to choose between (or use several of them) hosts sources.
Be aware, I have encountered a WiFi hotspot where DNS requests outside were blocked, and as result, I was unable to resolve any domain name to IP address, and therefore unable to eg open any site in the browser - I had to disable private DNS as long as staying on that WiFi hotspot

The following way you can unlock the screen by ADB, but:
- ADB must be already enabled on the phone
- PC you are using must be already granted ADB usage
(Otherwise it would pop-up on the still locked screen where you cannot confirm)
First, verify ADB and enter the shell
Code:
adb wait-for-device devices
adb shell
At this point press Power button (if screen is ok, it would light up).
By the first command you swipe the screen (if screen is ok, you would see popup to enter the unlock pin/pass)
By the second command you enter your unlock pin/password:
Code:
input touchscreen swipe 930 880 930 380
input text <your-screen-unlock-pin-password>
At the end, exit the shell:
Code:
exit
So, I have two SIM cards (both locked by pin) and lock screen (all the same pins).
Keyevent 66 means Ok.
The following worked for me to unlock the phone on reboot - but you MUST wait to start until the MTP pops up on the PC:
Code:
adb devices
adb shell
input text 1234
input keyevent 66
input text 1234
input keyevent 66
input touchscreen swipe 930 880 930 380
input text 1234
exit
As said, on Huawei it works without root.
---
Note:
On Xiaomi, phone must be rooted and ADB must be already given root access, hence instead of
Code:
adb shell
start with
Code:
adb shell
su
Also, on Xiaomi I didn't need to wait for MTP to pop-up on the PC upon rebooting the phone - I can start right away with ADB

I am on emui 9.1 and of course Pie.
Is there any way to change your font without having to have root? Really disliking this Huawei font that doesn't have a true bold.

Hello, can someone help me with adb pls?
With "adb shell pm list packages -f > c:\1.txt" I get a list of my installed apps as text file, is there any way to get a list of the installed default apps? Removing an app with "adb shell pm uninstall --user 0" removes it from the user profile, but I can reinstall it and I can reset my phone to get the apps back, that means they are all still installed on other level, is there a command like "adb shell pm list packages" to see the default apps? I want to get a list of the apps, user apps and system apps installed as if I had reset the phone or start it the first time.
Also, is there maybe a command for rebuild/delete cache? Just interested, because I have no idea if that is a thing today, with old Android versions it was helping sometimes but only possible with root.

With regards to apps that get installed by user ( called 3rd-party apps in contrast to system apps ) an app always gets installed in the space that's reserved for the user who invoked app's installation: typically it's user with id 0 - the default Android user. Knowing this then it will be clear that 3rd-party-apps on multi-user Android systems get installed in different user spaces.
Hence you always should add --user <USER-ID> to any action that should taken by PM.
To get list of installed system apps belonging to specific user you run
Code:
adb shell "cmd package list-packages -s --user <USER-ID>"
To get list of installed 3rd-party apps belonging to specific user you run
Code:
adb shell "cmd package list-packages -3 --user <USER-ID>"

With adb shell cmd package list-packages -s --user 0 it closed without anything
With adb shell cmd package list-packages -s --user 0 -f > c:\2.txt I get Unknown command: list-packages
Same with using "adb shell cmd package list-packages -s --user 0" and adb shell "cmd package list-packages -s --user 0" -f > c:\2.txt
What I'm doing wrong?
Also, that's not exactly what I meant, even if the command is working I don't want the list of user 0, I want a list of the default apps. I already debloat the phone, I want to see the apps I debloat, the apps that are installed on admin(?) level to see if I can reinstall something that I need.

I accidentally copied the wrong command and used adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 $app instead of adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 $app
I can uninstall / install-existing it just fine but for some reason using enable doesn't work.
When I do adb shell pm enable $app I get an error message, when I use su it works, and when I first unfreeze it with sdmaid and then use the enable command it works too, however it is back to being disabled again after reboot.
I also tried adb shell pm default-state --user 0 $app with the same result.
It works just fine with other apps, but they are typically either disabled or uninstalled.
Now "com.android.sdm.plugins.connmo", "com.android.sdm.plugins.dcmo" and "com.android.sdm.plugins.diagmon" are both disabled and uninstalled.
I somehow was able to reinstall them and have that persist after reboot but they were still disabled after that.

Always get correct user id of user who should get prevented to run an app
Code:
adb shell "pm list users"
before running shell command like this
Code:
adb shell "pm disable --user <USER-ID> <PKG-NAME>"
and this using the same user id
Code:
adb shell "pm enable --user <USER-ID> <PKG-NAME>"
instead of stupidly using user id 0

What's the matter with just: pm disable com.annoying.app ?

The --user <USER-ID> parameter is usually needed on newer Android versions to specify which user ID the pm utility needs to apply the changes to.

would be great if it would work like that except it doesn't for whatever reason.
Is there a difference using "disable-user --user <USER-ID> <PKG-NAME>" vs "disable --user <USER-ID> <PKG-NAME>"?
I mean thats not rly my problem as I wanna *enable* it again, but yea..
running either enable or disable command in non elevated shell results in
java.lang.SecurityException: Shell cannot change component state for null to 1
which is weird as it does work for literally any other app.
using elevated shell it works, however it resets back to disabled state on reboot, which is even weirder given that the default state of this package would be enabled=1
and I should note that it mustve worked before as well, as it was originally enabled and I slipped in the wrong line and accidentally copied the command to disable apps instead of what I wanted to do.
And for some reasom that worked..
specifically the command I used was adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.android.sdm.plugins.connmo and it works for any other app to disable it and i can enable them right back.
