[GUIDE][SCRIPT] rsync backup over USB + adb with Lineage 14.x - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

[GUIDE][SCRIPT] rsync backup over USB + adb with Lineage 14.x - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

Hello together,
as Lineage 13.0+ already includes the rsync binary, backing up the phone via rsync over USB + adb is fast and convenient. The only "downside" is that you need a phone with root access.
While everything worked fine for months with Lineage 13.0, rsync gave strange error messages on the client after updating to Lineage 14.1.
Output on the PC side looked like this:
Code:
+ adb shell 'umask 077 && rsync --daemon --no-detach --log-file=/storage/emulated/0/rsyncd/rsyncd.log --config=/mnt/secure/rsyncd.conf' &
@RSYNCD: 31.0
Notice the "@RSYNCD: 31.0" protocol tag in the output.
To make a long story short, "rsync --daemon" on the phone side thinks it's invoked via inetd.
rsync's "inetd mode" gets activated automatically if the stdin of the rsync process is a socket. There's no way to switch that off. Probably the internal semantics how adb shell works changed a bit in Android Nougat.
Luckily there's a workaround in the adb shell command: Allocate a pty with the "-t" option.
The original invocation line
Code:
adb shell 'umask 077 && rsync --daemon --no-detach --log-file=/storage/emulated/0/rsyncd/rsyncd.log --config=/mnt/secure/rsyncd.conf' &
becomes
Code:
adb shell -t -t 'umask 077 && rsync --daemon --no-detach --log-file=/storage/emulated/0/rsyncd/rsyncd.log --config=/mnt/secure/rsyncd.conf' &
Notice the double '-t' in there: This forces the allocation of a PTY, it won't work with a single '-t' if the adb shell command is forked into background with '&'.
Here's the complete backup script for a Galaxy S5, adapt the exclusion list to your needs:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
set -u
BASEDIR=/data/MY_BACKUP_DESTINATION
TARGET=$BASEDIR/android
# generate random secret
secret=$(dd if=/dev/urandom bs=1 count=32 2>/dev/null | base64 -w 0 | rev | cut -b 2- | rev)
#log to logger
exec 2>&1 | logger

echo "could not find directory: $TARGET"
exit 1

adb shell "umask 077 && test ! -d /storage/emulated/0/rsyncd && mkdir -p /storage/emulated/0/rsyncd"
adb shell "umask 077 && printf 'backup:$secret\n' > /mnt/secure/rsyncd.secrets"
adb shell "umask 077 && printf 'address = 127.0.0.1\npid file = /mnt/secure/rsyncd.pid\nuid = root\ngid = root\n[root_all]\n\tpath = /\n\thosts allow = 127.0.0.1\n\tauth users = backup\n\tsecrets file = /mnt/secure/rsyncd.secrets\n' > /mnt/secure/rsyncd.conf"
adb shell -t -t "umask 077 && rsync --daemon --no-detach --log-file=/storage/emulated/0/rsyncd/rsyncd.log --config=/mnt/secure/rsyncd.conf" &
# give rsync daemon time to start

# remove temporary files
adb shell rm -f /mnt/secure/rsyncd.conf /mnt/secure/rsyncd.pid /mnt/secure/rsyncd.secrets
The script is based on this blog post originally:
https://blog.josefsson.org/2015/11/28/automatic-android-replicant-backup-over-usb-using-rsync/
Hope this saves others some time when migrating to Lineage 14.x
Cheers,
Thomas

A real genius post. I was stuck at passing -t flag.
Thanks!

@thomasjfox are you still using this method on LineageOS 18? Has anything changed in the intervening time?
I am able to get the daemon to start, and to use rsync from within the ADB shell, but from my PC I can't get rsync to connect. adb forwarding --list reveals that my port forwarding is set up correctly. I get the error:
rsync: safe_read failed to read 1 bytes [Receiver]: Connection reset by peer (104)
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(285) [Receiver=3.1.3]

I wasnt able to get VBOX to emulate the Image so... UPDATE yes i was able to get it working i was having a router issue.So give VBOX a try http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
you can either try to get it to work with VBOX,(goodluck), or dust off one of your old computers and get Ubuntu up.
But you may have to do what i did, i yanked out the family computer from the living room and fit in my literally 4' x 7' office to get this done.
i dont worry to much, i know they love me for spending the last 2 weeks with my face attached to the monitor.

I just put this together yesterday, its from my EVO post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=881401 .gotta get back to work, the snowstorms over (im from western NY) might be errors will edit and update as time permits
This is made for the epic, but i will try to catch all the changes, i think i got most of em.
Listen up you knuckles, on the evo i can ssh, setup and use samba shares(using hamachi network for connectability), nautilus-shares works, programs dont close, cpu meter works, it truly is like a mini computer in your pocket.
I hope with CyanogenMod i can have the same results because obviosly the epic exceeds the evo because of the keyboard (for this kind of stuff). It sucks to loose half your screen to the input method (with the evo), But i wish the screensize was larger.
For now until there are some kernel changes(hamachi does not work) I have to spend my time playing with that.(Hamachi works in the Evo
However ubuntu seems to run better on the evo
UPDATE cant get Hamachi installed gotta wait for kernel changes -
I guess you can never have the best of both worlds

added to linux tools, thanks!

By editing the original I could ensure that only what was created in the original, was altered, although in theory you should be able to strip or add anyfiles you want in the same way.
Works for sure on fedora 15 and opensuse11.4 and any the original script works on.

[Q] Latest Linux version of Flashtool does not see libusb

As I still don't made sufficient posts to put it directly to dev forum, it's here. Admins, please move it to correct sections as you desire.
I installed the latest version of Flashtool for Linux. I followed the instructions at flashtool. net/install. php and tried to run './Flashtool'. here is the output:
[[email protected] FlashTool]# ./FlashTool
Running as root.
JAVA_HOME not set. Using default value : ./x10flasher_lib/linjre64
libusb.LibUsbException: Libusb not found. Minimum libusb version is 1.0.15. It can be downloaded on libusbx. org
at libusb.UsbSystem.initSystem(UsbSystem.java:28)
at libusb.UsbSystem.<init>(UsbSystem.java:15)
at linuxlib.JUsb.init(JUsb.java:21)
at gui.Main.initLinuxUsb(Main.java:47)
at gui.Main.main(Main.java:34)
I have libusbx 1.0.16 and libusb 0.1.5 installed, so how can I debug this? if someone can forward this to Androxyde I will be very grateful.
I am running Fedora 19 x64 with both 32 and 64 bit libs installed, as per Flashtool site instructions. Current Java (Oracle) is Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_45-b18), 64-bit version.
Thank you

I found on my system (arch linux) the libusbx libs were named differently from what flashtool is looking for.
FlashTool was looking for "/usr/lib/libusbx-1.0.so" and "/usr/lib/libusbx-1.0.so.0.1.0"
but what i had was "/usr/lib/libusb-1.0.so" and "/usr/lib/libusb-1.0.so.0.1.0" respectively.
I created Symbolic links so that flashtool would find what it was looking for...
"ln -s /usr/lib/libusb-1.0.so.0.1.0 /usr/lib/libusbx-1.0.so.0.1.0"
&
"ln -s /usr/lib/libusb-1.0.so /usr/lib/libusbx-1.0.so"
(Ran in root terminal without qoutes) That fixed it for me.
Perhaps those libs are also named differently on fedora too? i used "find / -name libusb*" (in root terminal without qoutes) to check for them on my system.
It's also possible to change the searched for filenames in "FlashTool" (the launching script) itself by editing it but that would need to be redone with every new version unless fixed/changed by the developers. the lines that would need changed are..
"ln -sf libusbx-1.0.so.0.1.0 ./x10flasher_lib/linux/lib32/libusbx-1.0.so"
"ln -sf libusbx-1.0.so.0.1.0 ./x10flasher_lib/linux/lib64/libusbx-1.0.so"
(I've bolded the part to be changed for flashtool-0.9.13.0, it might be different in the future)
Hope this helps :good:

I decided to change flashtool's script/launcher so it looks for libusbx in a more robust (i hope) way. i've attached the changed file. If this works for you then we can submit the changes to the devs for their consideration.

***EDIT*** I found a downside. The the new script/launcher is going to find and use either the old libusb or libusbx so it may create more problems than it solves for some users if they dont install libusbx before using flashtool.
Another problem will arise if the distro's libusbx package maintainers havent over written the old libusb libs to use libusbx as a drop in replacement like on arch and fedora 19 (i checked inside the fedora libusbx package before) because the changed script/launcher will likely link to libusb before libusbx if they are sitting next to each other.

first go to this http://www.libusbx.org
and download latest source (tarball)
extract that .tar.gz and go to that dir
now run the following commands
Code:
./config
make
sudo make install
assuming your Flashtool folder is in home
run the following commands
Code:
cd
cp /usr/local/lib/libusb-1.0.so.0.1.0 FlashTool/x10flasher_lib/linux/lib64
cp /usr/local/lib/libusb-1.0.so.0.1.0 FlashTool/x10flasher_lib/linux/lib32
replace the FlashTool script in FlashTool folder by this one FlashTool

FlashTool developer decided to bundle full JRE (both 32 and 64 bit) plus all these binaries and libraries with a relatively simple Java application for some strange reason. Lame. I've spent more than an hour downloading the 113 MB 7z archive from some sh*tty file-share service, instead spending just 1/4 of that time, and do something useful for the rest!
An average Linux user should be able to install these deps by herself, all she needs is a decent README specifiying the deps...
At least with the Ubuntu 13.10 (Saucy), libusb, which is at version 1.0.1.16, should work, so one does not need no freakin libusbx... This is for Saucy x86_64;
Code:
# One also needs basic 32-bit support, for running stuff like bin2sin, check libc6:i386 or similar:
sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot libusb-1.0-0 default-jre
sudo ln -s libusb-1.0.so.0.1.0 /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libusbx-1.0.so
# Remove 260MB of rubbish:
cd <wherever you unpacked FlashTool>
rm -rf x10flasher_lib/{adb,fastboot}.linux x10flasher_lib/lin*

Rooting the webOS TV

pivotce.com informs that instructions have been published on gaining root access to a webOS TV. This is much harder than on the old phones and tablets. When this was done on legacy webOS, there was a wave of enhancements and tweaks made available to phone users from webOS Internals and other developers.
The instructions can be found on the Russian webOS forums here: webos-forums.ru/topic4650.html (English Translation via Google).
As the thread itself notes, this creates the possibility of fiddling with your TV in a way that may turn it into a large, thin brick and will almost certainly invalidate your warranty. The general user should stay well clear of this.
pivotCE published this for information only and recommend leaving investigations to those who know what they are doing or who can afford to wreck expensive television sets. We will watch to see if anything interesting emerges from this development.

Detailed analysis of the root access method described above:

Hello!
I'm from webos-forums.ru. I've root on TV for a while and can help you with translation or testing on LG webOS 1.4.

I could use your help rooting my lg 65uf6450-ua if you would. Thank you

1. You need to install Developer Mode App and export private ssh-key with CLI (webostv.developer.lge.com/develop/app-test)
2. Convert private ssh-key with puttygen [import key <your private ssh-key>, then save private key]
3. Download exploit (zalil.su/6937580), then connect with TV User: prisoner, [<ip-tv>:9922] + private-key with WinSCP (or other SCP-client), upload to /media/developer on TV and rename it to root.
on linux
Code:
ssh -i <your private ssh-key> [email protected]<ip-tv> -p 9922 "/bin/sh -i"
4.
Code:
chmod +x root
Code:
./root
5. After try install any app from market go to LG App Store and try to install any app.
6. if third stage ok. the insert password 1111 as said.
7.
Code:
busybox chroot /proc/1/root
Code:
[email protected]tTV:/# id
Code:
uid=0(root) gid=0(root)........
I personally use Linux Subsystem on Windows 10 for all of this.
To install .ipk app:
Code:
ApplicationInstallerUtility -c install -p /tmp/<any-name>.ipk -u 0 -l /media/developer -d
Info about your linux kernel and TV firmware:
Code:
luna-send -n 1 -f luna://com.palm.systemservice/osInfo/query '{ "subscribe": false }'
Launch app:
Code:
luna-send -n 1 -f luna://com.webos.applicationManager/launch '{"id": "netflix"}'
All apps ID you can find with
Code:
luna-send -n 1 "palm://com.palm.applicationManager/listLaunchPoints" "{}"
or at a folder /media/cryptofs/apps/usr/palm/applications/<App ID>/appinfo.json
For permanent root access through telnet:
1)
Code:
[email protected]:/# mkdir -p /media/cryptofs/root/etc
2)
Code:
[email protected]:/# cp -r /etc/* /media/cryptofs/root/etc
3)
Code:
[email protected]:/# mount -o bind /media/cryptofs/root/etc /etc
4)
Code:
[email protected]:/# passwd root
Enter any new root password
5)
Code:
cp /media/cryptofs/apps/usr/palm/services/com.palmdts.devmode.service/start-devmode.sh /tmp/start-devmode.sh
6) Download with WinSCP start-devmode.sh and edit it locally.
You need to add at the beginning
Code:
mount -o bind /media/cryptofs/root/etc /etc
telnetd -l /sbin/sulogin &
Plus you can add the line to launch any App at start, e.g:
Code:
luna-send -n 1 -f luna://com.webos.applicationManager/launch '{"id": "netflix", "params":{}}'
And comment Dev Mode online check.
Here it's mine start-devmode.sh. It's for webOS 1.4. It can be different for other webOS versions:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
mount -o bind /media/cryptofs/root/etc /etc
telnetd -l /sbin/sulogin &
#luna-send -n 1 -f luna://com.webos.applicationManager/launch '{"id": "netflix", "params":{}}'

Ok, so I get run the root app and first ,second , and third stage all are good. then it says try get root password is 1111. But the terminal keeps freezing after that happens. A couple times my tv rebooted too. I cant figure out what i could have messed up. ANyone with any experience using this method have any legit information?

Try to delete all 'cache' files from exploit at /media/developer. It doesn't wotk twice as far as I concerned

Is there anyway I can root my 1.4.0 and if so what r the benefits of the root? Can I install Android or kodi? What's the point

I tried it stil seems to finish step 3 then says enter 1111. But this is where it freezes up and does not get any further.

Is this still working on 3.6? I'm stuck at try to install any app from market.

Which TV and firmware version?
Is this possible with UJ63 serie?

Hi, would the root access allow somehow to connect other bluetooth devices different than LG? Thanks!

You can do pretty much anything to the system with root, even include support for unsupported devices in form of additional kernel modules.
For example, I've added Samba support so I can mount use my NAS (see my blog at ddscentral dot org for details).

Hey guys is it possible to install android apps into WebOS? I just bought an Lg oled LG 55EG9A7V i want to use Perfect Player IPTV but i cant install it right now...Other then that i dont need anything else..
Can anyone help me?
