[PC-APP] SGN3 Mod Tool

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.

Instructions:
1. Download.
2. Extract archive.
3. * Install LinuxReader to GalaxyS3ModTool\tools\LinuxReader.
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?

It is telling me the device is offline. For example.. Roboot, Refresh Content, etc.. do not nothing.
Make Dir says "Directory Created" but does this...
adb shell mount -o remount,rw /system
adb shell mkdir "/test"

you have to allow ADB to acces your device..
when you try to do anything with ADB, look at your phone screen, it will give you a popup that will enable you to 'allow ADB connections'

I watched my screen. I got no popups other than the original "usb connected" popup when I plugged in the usb cable.
Edit: Deleted the app. No Support from Dev.

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!

[Tool][Windows] Control a device with a broken screen. Now with touchscreen support!!

I would like to present you my little program written in Visual Basic.
This tool lets you use your device through your Windows pc even if your touchscreen doesn't work or you can't see anything.
It uses [email protected], which wasn't made by me.
UPDATE!!! Full touchscreen support!
You need to have usb debugging enabled.
Enable usb debugging via recovery:
Code:
Adb shell
echo "persist.service.adb.enable=1" >>/system/build.prop
echo "persist.service.debuggable=1" >>/system/build.prop
echo "persist.sys.usb.config=mass_storage,adb" >>/system/build.prop"
reboot

for people who dont have adb enabled, i suggest you contact a kernel developer to automatically enable it in the default.prop and sideload the kernel in recovery!
i broke my S3 on stock so nothing was enabled.
i enabled adb via the default.prop and compiled the kernel and flashed in recovery(sideload).
now i have full control over the device.

If you have usb debugging enabled, just connect your phone to your pc and start the program, it should find it automatically

Great work, thank you very much! :good:

The [email protected] app should surely work with ubuntu cause its an java jar file, but the visual basic application you can try to run with whine i suppose.

Thanks! This will come in handy on my girlfriend's Skyrocket with a shattered screen.

Would love to try this app.
Sadly I can't acquire a connection via Wifi. I certainly enabled
all the needed options on my device (LG Optimus 4X HD [p880]),
but as soon as I click on the adb connection button a cmd window
comes up with the path C:\User\MyName\Downloads\Tools (probably the path where it expect adb to be)
and if I move via "cd" to my adb and run it nothing happens.
On second try I was able to change the path via the [email protected] part of the app
but still nothing happens when I hit the button besides the cmd window coming up.
Will try the usb way now.
EDIT: USB way works perfectly fine :good:
Thanks for this!

thank you very much! data recovery should now be easy

Nice application :good::good:

thanks for the tool mate! i hope to see it cross compiled for linux soon aswell

Very nice! Works great. I have a suggestion, if it's even possible, a few months back I cracked the screen and digitizer at the same time. Turning the screen on would make the phone go haywire since it was registering multiple "touches" from the broken screen/digitizer. Anyway to implement this with the screen completely turned off? Just curious.

is there away for the tool to work if usb debugging wasn't enabled on my broken phone???

Some older versions of adb don't support wireless debugging, you also need to enable wireless debugging on your phone

Trying to root my OPO, but ADB doesn't recognize my device.

I've been trying to root for ages, but no matter what I do I can't get ADB to recognize my device. I've tried reinstalling the drivers from I don't know how many sources as well as adb/fastboot several times, but I always get the same result:

In the device manager I get a yellow flag on the ADB interface:
I honestly don't think there's any way I can do it unless I get some help from you guys. So please? How do I get my computer to recognize my OPO once and for all?
I'm following this guide FYI (must be the fifth I try): http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/106856/how-to-root-oneplus-one
Thanks to the kind souls willing to give a hand.

Honestly you don't need adb portion working to do this. Have you tried seeing if your computer recognizes your opo in fastboot mode?
Turn your phone off hold volume up and power button it will boot into fastboot. Then plug your phone into your computer let it install drivers then open command prompt where your fastboot file is and type fastboot devices if it shows something your good to go follow the rest of the guide unlock bootloader and install a custom recovery and SuperSU to root.
Also if its me I would install twrp recovery.

you sure you got the right drivers?

@Seleuco try this tutorial and also check Y for install adb drivers

You need to install divers first, look at your screenshot, you have no driver installed for adb device.

Did you also tried to install the driver manually in device manager?
See this link how you can do that:
http://www.technobuzz.net/install-nexus-5-driver-adb-fastboot-unlock-bootloader/
If these drivers don't work and or can't install then just extract Snoop05's adb installer and use those drivers :good: hope this would work now,
the issue is probably that there are so many drivers installed that they are conflicting with each other and windows is just deciding which one is better, so manually overriding it should fix it and else I guess you have to remove the old adb drivers with an program but first try these easy methods

Nube questions on root access

I am seeking a way to root the Motorola G Power (2021) Boost Mobile/Sprint USA Variant without a PC.
The bootloader options are greyed out with the notice "connect to internet or contact your provider".
I noticed there was a Motorola bootloader unlock page via the official Motorola site. I will try that when I have access to PC.
In the mean time, any other root solutions or suggestions?
(Note) this is an edit the original post broke the rules of XDA on paid service talk, <My Bad> So I revised the OP.

I am not certain if there is a way to change the thread topic, but if there is a way to add a rooting tag to it, that'd be optimal. #Root

DrRoxxo said:
Hey there, sorry to be a bother but I had a question that's been in the back of my mind for awhile.
Is there a service one can simply pay for online to get root access on android devices?
I have been an avid researcher in the field of r/w access for around 7 years now and I remember back to the days of framaroot and geohot's towel root. But now, it's hard to find a working service for root access without PC.

No problem at all. If I'd seen something against the rules I'd closed the thread as already stated but all is fine.
And negative, you can't delete or close/lock a thread. This always has to be accomplished by a moderator i.e. simply use the report button to alert the moderator team. Please be aware that threads never get deleted but only closed to avoid HTTP 404 errors after search engines have indexed XDA. Such errors provide a bad user experience that we obviously want to avoid. The only exceptions are spams (where we don't mind 404's) and duplicates; however, latter only immediately after they were created.

Question Auto Updated Even Though Auto Update Was Off.

Hello there,
I am using the A53 5G from AT&T I got the phone in March and since I got it I turned off auto update system in developer mode. From the beginning of March till today my phone never updated then just before I logged in here my phone auto restarted at 80% battery and automatically applied the software update.
I double even triple checked to make sure that auto update system was off and it was but it still happened. Could I have done anything in addition to prevent the phone from updating?
I don't understand why this happened does anyone have any insight on this? Maybe a samsung policy like after 60 days of not updating the phone forcefully updates? I really have no clue and am just trying to figure out if I could have done more.
I know they changed their policy with downgrading but I do not know if it can still be done revert the update and downgrade because I would like to roll back the update if I can.

The OTA update app acts about the same as malware and has every permission under the sun.
Use a package disabler or adb edit to kill it.
These are the two, the com.ws.dm one is what does firmware upgrades.

The links are all different how to's for different adb you got ladp a wireless debugger app, a gui version of an adb, & a how to install adb from sdk
I just wanted to know if running that disable command is sufficient enough because it only disables it on the profile and not at the system so I didn't know if I would need to root the device to gets to truly disable it.

All I got... using Package Disabler is a lot easier.
You can ask AT&T advanced tech support to turn off OTA updates on their end. They can. I've done that before too.
