[MOD][addon.d] ADB and Fastboot Host for Android

These mods install adb and fastboot binaries for ARM processors. This enables you to use an Android device as the host machine rather than a PC or laptop to run adb and fastboot commands on a connected device. Some devices like the Nexus 7 and Nexus 5 come with adb, but not fastboot. You can check for these binaries in /system/bin/. I have made separate zips in case your device already has adb. These mods also includes addon.d scripts.

What is addon.d?
On some ROMs, like Cyanogenmod, there are scripts in /system/addon.d that run during a ROM update or flash. They can backup and restore system apps (like Gapps), or perform many other functions. This mod includes an addon.d script, so the mod is not lost during a ROM update! If your ROM doesn't support addon.d, this mod should still flash properly, but you won't benefit from addon.d.
Tested and Confirmed to work on:
Nexus 5
Nexus 7
It should work on many devices. Let us know if it works!
Note:
You will need OTG support to get any benefit from this, so your device can act as host when another device is attached. Be sure to use the su command before adb or fastboot.

DISCLAIMER:

If I could only install fastboot then I could Flash my phone. When i try to get in fastboot it says fastboot is missing.. please help I'm in a crisis. :crying:

Is this safe to use in Lineage 17.1?
Is it installable using exposed framework?
Does it solve this problem:
I have a TV box Scishion V99 Hero. It's rescue Adb mode presumes a USB connection. I cannot find how to set tcpip access in rescue mode. Yet the box has only female USB ports. The big flat connector. So I can't connect it to a PC but only to my phone.

I tried searching for a guide on how to flash a ROM with adb/fastboot but I'm not even sure if im searching for the right things

Anyone?

Before you flash a custom ROM, make sure you have a custom recovery installed. This is the part where ASB/FastBoot comes in.
The custom recovery may be CWM or TWRP, or anything at all which supports your device, look on the website of the recovery you want to use if they support your device or seach the XDA forums for one.
After downloading the recovery image, you can optionally rename it to recovery.img.
You can use the zip file you curently have, but I'll advice to use the adb installer which I've included as attachment.
Once you have ADB installed with the installer you can omen op a command promt (cmd.exe).
Make sure your device is turned on and USB debugging is enabled!
After ADB sees your device (with the command: adb devices), boot into fastboot using adb reboot bootloader.
After your phone has rebooted into the bootloader(fastboot), use the command: fastboot flash recovery (path/filename to recovery).img
Following these steps should allow you to install a custom ROM through the recovery you justs installed. if you also want to include superSU(if it's not included into the ROM you're using), flash the SuperSU2.02 falshable zip from chainfire.
But before you do anything of this, make sure you've got a compatible recovery and ROM!

» Non-rooted devices
Magisk 14.0 introduces a new and neat method to install on non-rooted Android devices. This new process doesn’t require your device to be rooted, nor does it require a custom recovery like TWRP. But for this method to work, your device must have the stock boot.
But for this method to work, your device must have the stock boot.img dump placed in the internal storage.
Make sure that you enable USB debugging and setup ADB access first, you will need it later in the guide.
Download Magisk Manager 5.3.0: Link
When the APK has been downloaded, use a file manager to install it. Now run the app from the app drawer.
Go to the app settings and tap on “Patched Boot Output Format”. You can select “.img.tar” if you will be using ODIN to flash the file or else simply select “.img” for the rest of the devices.

}
Go back to the app main screen and tap on the “Install” button. Go to INSTALL > PATCH BOOT IMAGE FILE.
Navigate through the storage and select the stock boot.img file. As soon as you select the stock boot.img file, the app will download the installer to patch the image.
Once the process is complete, you can tap on the “CLOSE” button.
Your new and patched boot image now include root and support for modules. So the last step is to grab this boot file and flash it your device via fastboot or ODIN (Depending on the output format you chose in step #4).
Connect your device to the PC via USB cable and navigate to the Magisk Manager folder inside the storage. Your “patched_boot.img” file will be present right there. So copy it to your PC.
Move the “patched_boot.img” file to C:/adb folder. And type in the following command to boot your phone into bootloader/fastboot mode:
adb reboot bootloader
Once your phone enters the bootloader/fastboot mode, enter the command to flash the file:
fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img
Finally, reboot your device:
fastboot reboot
That’s all, you have just installed one of the most trending mod out there and especially on your non-rooted device without any need of a custom recovery. Isn’t it great? Tinker around with the app and see what all things you could do.

I can confirm this is working! Thank you!

Reporting working on Android O (8.0), I download update from Asus and patch boot image. Thanks

I know it's been some time since this was discussed, but I am trying to go through this process. Can you confirm that you unlocked the bootloader on 8.0 with the Asus tool? Or did you install magisk without unlocking the bootloader (if that's possible)?
thanks

I don't think the unlocker tool works anymore.

WHAT IS TWRP?
Team Win Recovery Project is a custom recovery for Android devices.
It allows you to back up and restore your data, flash custom ROMs to your device, repair broken file systems, and root your device.
Notice1:
U Pro has A/B partitions. to prevent issues its good to flash it in both slot, because i/we can not know on which partition you are
Notice 2:
This version only working on Eragon roms
Maybe soon I'll manage it to work on stock rom
Notice 3: Sdcard now working

if you use the old 20180227 Base you have to use Qfil Flashtools , because fastboot commands dont work in that Build.
we have a good guide of how to use FLashtools already
look here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/guide-elephone-pro-user-manual-t3775895
if you are on 20180423 Base and newer you can use fastboot commands
required : ADB and fastboot
enable usb debugging in developer settings.
do this:
Code:
adb shell
Code:
reboot bootloader
now we flash it in slot a
Code:
fastboot flash boot_a twrp.img
after that we flash it also in slot b
Code:
fastboot falsh boot_b twrp.img

How To Guide How To: Region Switch on Nord2T

Hello again everyone. This is a quick guide on how to change Regional firmware on our Nord2T device (ie going from CPH2399 to CPH2401)
I cannot be responsible if you brick your device. Your phone, your choices, your responsibility!​
Before we get started I would recommend unlocking the bootloader (unsure if this is a necessity but my device was unlocked at the time of trying so I would recommend users do the same)
1 - Unlock the bootloader (if you haven't done it already...beware that this will erase all of your user data). To do so, you must:
Enable developer options
Enable the "OEM unlocking" option
Enable USB debugging
Have both adb and fastboot, from SDK Platform Tools available on your PC
Connect your phone to your PC using the USB cable and run the following commands:
Code:
adb devices
(just to make sure that your phone is, in fact, recognized by your PC and that you're able to run adb commands)
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
(so your phone will reboot into fastboot mode)
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock
(device should now unlock)
Code:
fastboot reboot
(device reboots with an unlocked bootloader and data partition wiped)
2 - Download and Install Fastboot Enhance from HERE
3 - Download the IND rollback package from HERE
4 - Extract the rollback package zip to your PC (the only file you need once it is unzipped is payload.bin)
5 - Connect your device back to PC and reboot to fastboot yet again.
Code:
adb reboot fastboot
6 - Once in fastbootd open Fastboot Enhance on PC and you should see your device in the "Fastboot Visualization" tab.
Make sure to click on "Ignore unknown partitions" on the bottom of the screen. Then click on the "partitions" option and under partitions and delete every file that ends with "cow" refer to screenshot, just select and delete.

}
7. Click on "Flash payload.bin" and browse for the payload.bin you extracted earlier.
8. Once flashed you can reboot (recommended to either factory reset from settings after the device restarts or wipe data in fastboot for a smoother experience.
This is only tested on a Global device using firmware version CPH2399_11_A.17 and flashing IND CPH2401_11_A.17 ROLLBACK PACKAGE!!
Subsequent updates will now be on the IND branch for your device also.
Hope this helps someone out!
If anyone has any questions/input/recommendations please feel free to discuss below and any issues we will help to resolve them.
Have a good day peeps
