(read here why)
AboutThe existence of mAid (abbreviation for [m]anage your [A]ndro[id]) has a simple reason. I wanted to have something where I were able to point users to when they came with issues on Windows because the most problems around were solvable when using Linux (for my personal special use cases) ...
Spoiler: Click to reveal more...
The only issue with Linux (even with Ubuntu, Mint and such) is that they do not include everything an Android user needs (out-of-the-box). You still have to issue commands to install and you have to make other adjustments like udev rules etc. Nothing a "normal" Windows user can/want do without guide-lining.
That was the main reason why I started mAid.
For those not familiar with the above: do you have ever thought:
... Windows is not detecting my Android phone?!
... adb, fastboot?? what are you talking about?"
... or do you just wanna support someone who is using Windows and having issues?
and of course:
... you have re-installed the drivers of your phone's vendor.
... you have re-downloaded the newest one from the the vendor's homepage as well
... you checked other drivers and uninstalled and rebooted hundreds of times
........ it still does not work!
This is where this Live ISO should help you out. The main purpose of this project is:
... give you a quick and just working start to use the standard Android tools like adb and fastboot with ease
... No driver hassle
... No complicated installation of android tools
... if still nothing works: activating a remote support tool (teamviewer or tmate) so a friend can help you out
... just download, flash and enjoy
mAid: a maid which helps to [m]anage your [A]ndro[id]that's all about it

The following contains the changes for all pre v4.0 releases for historical reasons.

FWUL_v3.2_x86-64 (forgetful/ISO only)
Released: 2020-09-13
Reason: Maintenance release
Download: Go to the Download section in the OP
All closed issues for this release: see the Milestone tracking
Full Changelog (this version VS. previous): git commits
Summary Changelog:
Fresh Manjaro Arch Linux base from the day of release (means all OS packages are top current)
new look & feel by a new icon and desktop theme
backported from v4.0: new installer dialogs (goodbye ugly terminal outputs)
backported from v4.0: SALT's new requirements are pre-installed now
backported from v4.0: AMD graphic support for newer models
backported from v4.0: fully pre-pkg all installers. this one is incredible important to keep the installers working without doing a full system upgrade. Previously once times passes by and you wanted to use the installers the package (e.g. spflashtools, teamviewer) got downloaded by the normal way. As everything depends on each other that could result in hundreds of Megabytes if not a full system upgrade at the end. Useless and annoying for a live ISO. The new approach will fully pre-package all dependencies directly within the build process so they will always fit exactly to the release. That way even if you start v3.2 in 3 years it will just download the pre-packaged file which contains all you need.

FWUL_v3.0.2_x86-64 - PERSISTENT ONLY
Released: 2019-01-15
Reason: Maintenance release, ONLY for persistent builds
A patch has been released for FWUL persistent builds.
Patching a persistent build is handled by the FWUL LivePatcher which can be found on the desktop.
Due to many under-the-hood changes (mainly the repo URL path changed and that required adjusting several files) the following procedure is needed to upgrade correctly to the latest release:
double-click "FWUL LivePatcher"
click "Check & Download Patches" button!
once finished click "Start LivePatcher" and wait until it finishes
you will be prompted to re-open the LivePatcher as there was an update for the LivePatcher itself
you should be informed that your FWUL version is now 3.0.1
close the LivePatcher and re-open it
click again on "Check & Download Patches" button!
once finished click "Start LivePatcher" and wait until it finishes
you should be informed that your FWUL version is now 3.0.2
if something goes wrong do this in a terminal:
Code:
tar cvzf flu.tgz /var/log/fwul
and attach the resulting flu.tgz file in your post.
Summary Changelog:
changed repository patch for FWUL LivePatcher to gitlab
workaround for issue #88

FWUL got an own HOMEPAGE
You may notice that I moved all code to an own gitlab server. The repositories on github.com will stay but are archived, read-only and outdated.
Fresh Manjaro Arch Linux base from the day of release (means all OS packages are top current)
Versions of the main FWUL components for this release:
Kernel -> version: 4.19.13-1 (major upgrade)
ADB and fastboot: android-tools -> version: 9.0.0_r18-1 (major upgrade)
simple-adb GUI -> version: update6
SALT -> version: 3.21-4
ROME -> version: 1.0-1 (newly added)
TeamViewer (req user install) -> version: 14.0 (major upgrade)
bootimgtool-git -> version: 20150607.g9ccd962-1
heimdall-git -> version: 1.4.2.r7.ga2cfdaa-1
xfwm4 -> version: 4.12.5-1
lightdm -> version: 1:1.28.0-1
xorg-server -> version: 1.20.3-1
virtualbox-guest-utils -> version: 6.0.0-1 (major upgrade)
firefox -> version: 64.0-1
hexchat -> version: 2.14.2-1
testdisk-wip -> version: 7.1-1
tmate -> version: 2.2.1-2
new: added MiFlash for Xiaomi devices - read the short summary in FWUL included tools & installers
new: finally pre-configured hexchat
new: added two android boot image manipulating tools
new: added an even more clear Virtualization warning in the welcome screen
new: added [ROM][E] an extract tool for ROMs - read the short summary in FWUL included tools & installers
new: polished up wallpaper
fix: from now on FWUL supports (partly) system upgrades (see issue #63)! This means:
- you CAN update FWUL (using the desktop icon for adding/removing software or within a terminal: trizen -Syu --noconfirm)
- you will NOT be able to update the kernel, virtualbox guest utils or any other kernel related module(s) (they are excluded automatically so just for info)
- you will NOT be able to update to newer FWUL releases. This will ALWAYS require a re-install as changing that would require an incredible amount of work and resources, update servers etc.

FWUL_BETA-3_x86-64.iso
Released: 2017-01-17
Download: Go to the Download section in the OP
Changes:
Initial release based on Arch Linux
github changelog
The following known issue and workaround exists for this particular release:
I cannot connect password protected wireless network...only free to air connects. When I click on password connected wireless network., it simply don't open.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
There is a package missing which will be included in the next build.
You can still use Beta-3 when you do this after booting (The procedure has to be repeated on every boot):
click on the WiFi you want to connect to. nothing will happen but it is needed for the next step.
right-click on the network symbol in the panel and select "edit connections"
you should see the WiFi you tried to connect to --> click on it and then on edit
open tab "WiFi security" and type in the WiFi key
Save it and it should connect
If you can connect once by cable you can follow this instead:
Connect the network cable
Open a terminal (look at the panel at the bottom - black window with c:\ in it)
type in that terminal:
sudo pacman -S gnome-keyring
you will be asked for your password (linux) and then press Enter when asked to install it
Disconnect the network cable
Afterwards it will work. No reboot. Just try again

This is for Windows users not yet brave enough switching over to Linux so ... So no it makes no sense using any other theme for this kind of ISO

@steadfasterX ,
its a debloated linux mint ? imma replace my linux distro on dual boot with this and come in github to help a little too.
the name is bad its like you try execute windows in cold blood ! i don't think the purpose of this project is to kick Bill Gates ass
rename it to something that has to do with android or just give it a new name of your choice that best suits to your liking

its a debloated linux mint ? imma replace my linux distro on dual boot with this and come in github to help a little too.
the name is bad its like you try execute windows in cold blood ! i don't think the purpose of this project is to kick Bill Gates ass
rename it to something that has to do with android or just give it a new name of your choice that best suits to your liking

No Mint just read the OP
No just put it on a stick that's enough because the ISO is changing and we should test exactly how it would be for the end user..
The name is perfect :angel: if you don't like it search urban for FWUL it's fun

It didn't detect my phone as well, even changing the usb cable, i think my problem is in my LG G4, I can't even use an OTG on it. Does someone know what it could be? It happened after unrooting my phone.

It's not because I can use my Xbox 360 wireless adapter, my external hard drive, other phones, my headset, everything.

It didn't detect for phone ?
Can you elaborate ?
When you connect the phone you get nothing on the file manager ?
Does adb devices help ?
Is USB debugging enabled in the phone ?
If you have twrp installed can you boot into twrp and then try it .
Also do you have the latest BETA ?
When I plug my G4 on every USB port it only charges, trying FWUL nothing has happened, in Windows it says it's not recognizing, adb devices doesn't help, I already tried debugging enabled and disabled and it doesn't matter, I have unrooted my G4 and can't root or flash a new ROM, I still have the superSU installed.
In G4 it seems like I'm connecting it on a charger, I don't have the mtp option in notification bar, I used to have it but now it only charges.

YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point your finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.

The TWRP Installer and Image compatible with your phone
Features :
Runs on Command Prompt (Hidden)

Installation instructions :
I am assuming you already installed the adb drivers, if not I have a folder inside called "Drivers", you'll find the .exe there.
Download and install WinRAR: 64bit - 32bit
Extract the folder to your C drive directly.
Copy your TWRP image and Installer to C:TWRPFiles and rename both of them to TWRP (image ends with .img and installer with .zip)
