Hello, i am trying to boot debian on my nexus one the guide i am using is telling me to run these commands
$ adb remount
$ adb install vnc.apk
$ adb install swapper.apk
$ adb shell
# cd /sdcard/debian
# su
# sh ./debian.sh
# exit (repeat until out of adb)
I am getting to the point where i type the command # cd /sdcard/debian but it tells me cd: can't cd to /sdcard/debian. Anyone know what i am doing wrong? Thanks...
btw i am using ubuntu
I have copyied a damaged file in /system/app folder and now my phone is in the Bootloop. I wanna acces that file and replace it with the original. Can I do that?
I managed to solve it by deleting the 2 damaged files with this piece of code
Code:
echo " "
echo "Waiting for device..."
adb wait-for-device
echo " "
adb -d shell su -c "mount -o rw,remount /system"
adb -d shell su -c "ls /system"
adb -d shell su -c "rm /system/app/AudioEffectService.apk"
adb -d shell su -c "rm /system/app/SoundEnhancement.apk"
(of course the boot-loop forced me to find the right moment in the boot sequence to run the script)
I decided to try some inter-device adb action today. I'm sure some people have tried this, but I thought it was interesting. So I began by connecting from my laptop to my Nexus 4. I set up the Nexus 4 to do adb wireless with:
Code:
setprop service.adb.tcp.port 5555
adbd &
On my laptop I connected to the Nexus 4 with:
Code:
adb connect 192.168.0.7 (Nexus 4's host)transfer files over telnet
adb shell
su
Then I set up my G4 to do adb wireless the same way. In the adb shell into my Nexus 4, I connected to my G4 with:
Code:
adb connect 192.168.0.11 (G4's host)
adb shell
su
I tested some file transfers betwen phones with "adb push" and "adb pull" which worked really well. I'll definitely be using adb in the future to transfer files from one phone to the other. ftp works well, but this is even easier.
I decided to take my adb connection even further. My adb shell is now from laptop -> Nexus 4 -> G4 now. I then connected back to the Nexus 4 with:
Code:
adb connect 192.168.0.7
adb shell
su
When adb connects to a device it connects to the abdb daemon, and multiple connections can be made. Now that I'm back in the Nexus 4, I could reconnect to the G4, but that would be pointless since I already connected from the Nexus 4 to the G4. I wanted to try some other things. In the Nexus 4, I dropped down into a chrooted ubuntu image. I retrieved adb like you do on a computer with ubuntu:
Code:
apt-get install android-tools-adb
In the ubuntu chroot on the Nexus 4, I connected back to the G4. I'm now running laptop -> Nexus 4 -> G4 -> (Nexus 4 -> ubuntu chroot) -> G4. At this point the connection was showing some lag. In the G4, I dropped down to a chrooted ubuntu image I have on that phone. I connected back to the Nexus 4. Dropped down into a chrooted Debian image I also have on that phone. At that point, I was able to connect back to the G4, but the device showed up as "offline", so I exited the chroot. In the Android environment, I found out I was still able to connect back and forth between phones, launching new adb processes each time. I ended up with an adb shell connection like this: laptop -> Nexus 4 -> G4 -> (Nexus 4 -> ubuntu chroot) -> (G4 -> ubuntu chroot) -> (Nexus 4 -> G4 ->)x20. You can see the processes for the connections with:
Code:
pgrep -fl adb
# You get something like:
>339 adb -s 192.168.0.7:5555 shell
>2869 adb -s 192.168.0.7:5555 shell
>4049 adb -s 192.168.0.7:5555 shell

>31684 adb -P 5038 fork-server server
In the Android environment (not the chroot), I connected from phone to phone about 20 times until I got bored and the connection got too laggy. Unfortunately, the adbd daemon you can download in ubuntu gives a segmentation fault when you run it in Linux, so no connection between ubuntu's. Telnet and ssh work though. I was able to ssh back into my laptop with my ridiculous, laggy adb cascade and then adb back into the phones once again. Depending on which device you're currently in, you can kill the whole chain with:
Code:
pkill adbd
This was all kind of ridiculous, but the adb between phones is useful, so I guess I got something out of it.
This is pretty cool. Thanks for that.
Off topic, but if you do transfer files between phones a lot or if you enjoy streaming media from one phone to another, one solution I use is the Sambadroid app. Just hotspot one phone, connect to the wifi on the other, and use a file explorer app such as ES to map a network share.
Hey guys,
Not sure if this is the correct place to post, but I am at my wits end and think I need a bit of help. I have been cloning devices on Android 7.1 without too much trouble, but something has changed in Android 8.1 which breaks things. Here is my setup:
Device: Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X 16GB, unlocked bootloader
OS: LineageOS 15.1 (Android 8.1)
My setup process is as follows:
Let stock ROM update (for latest firmware), unlock BL, flash TWRP, clean wipe, flash LineageOS + Gapps + Magisk
Skip through setup wizard, apply customisations (apps via APKs, launcher, settings, etc)
Clear Data for following:
com.google.android.gms.setup
Google App
Google Account Manager
Google Backup Transport
Google One Time Init
Google Partner Setup
Google Play Services
Google Play Services for Instant Apps
Google Play Store
Google Services framework
Reboot to TWRP
Connect to PC, run following ADB command: adb pull /data/system/users/0/settings_secure.xml
Open settings_secure.xml and delete "android_id" line
Push settings_secure.xml back to device: adb push settings_secure.xml /data/system/users/0/
Capture system image, flash onto other devices (either via TWRP backup or pushing system images via ADB)
Boot device, log into client Google account, done
Now this process used to work great on LineageOS 14.1 (Android 7.1), but now I get the following issues:
When adding a Google Account, it does not appear in Android device manager, but it appears in the list of devices in the Google Play Store? If I remove the account and then add it again it appears, but the issues below still occur.
Google's messaging / push system is broken. If I send a Hangouts message to my Google account, it won't appear until I open the app.
Any pre-installed apps won't appear in the "installed" list of apps in the play store, and therefore not update automatically until the user manually searches for the app in the Play Store and hits "update" (ugh).
I need to be deploying around 100 units over the next couple of months or so I need something that is scalable. I might be going around this the wrong way completely. I am not a ROM developer or programmer, just found something that has worked well in the past, so if I need to develop a ROM from scratch based on LineageOS I'll probably need to hire someone to do this for me as this is a bit beyond my current capabilities and time constraints. Let me know your thoughts! Thanks.
Android ID is same for many devices if you clone. That is really bad and can cause issues.

I am deleting the Android ID from settings_secure.xml though. Unless it is somewhere else as well?
I'm still struggling with this problem. Is there anything else I can try? I googled this problem and the first result is this thread :/

Code:
adb shell settings delete secure android_id
adb shell settings delete secure advertising_id
adb shell settings delete secure bluetooth_address
adb shell settings put secure bluetooth_name 'YOURNAME'
adb shell settings put global device_name 'YOURNAME'
adb shell settings put global wifi_p2p_device_name 'YOURNAME'
The two IDs are then randomly regenerated. YOURNAME is any name of your choice.

Thanks for that. I believe I actually found their respective strings in settings_secure.xml:
<setting id="59" name="config_update_certificate"
<setting id="43" name="bluetooth_address"
And of course the Android ID. Once I deleted these, they auto-generated on the next boot, so I do this using ADB in TWRP.
I tried this and so far I'm not having any problems! Will report back if I experience any issues.
Another update - turn out that this is NOT enough. You will also want to clear data for the following apps (ideally just before shutting down the system and clearing android, bluetooth and config_update_certificate) to ensure that push notifications continue to work:
Com.google.android.gms.setup
Google App (not 100% sure if this is required, but I do it anyway)
Google Play Services
Google Play Store
Google Services framework
Reboot, clear your IDs, and then take your image. It should be OK after that, I think. I generally like to setup Hangouts on the device and then reboot, and let it sit for 5 minutes so its fully dozed before I send a test message.
Edit: STILL not working even after all this. Anyone else able to offer an explanation as to why push notifications is such an issue? This is becoming really difficult

ok, if you want to reset everything in a clone, proceed as follows:
Code:
adb shell su -c mount -o remount,rw /system
adb shell su -c rm /data/system/users/0/accounts.db
adb shell su -c rm /data/system/users/0/accounts.db-journal
adb shell su -c rm /data/system/users/0/photo.png
adb shell su -c rm /data/system/sync/accounts.xml
adb shell su -c rm /data/system/sync/pending.xml
adb shell su -c rm /data/system/sync/stats.bin
adb shell su -c rm /data/system/sync/status.bin
adb shell su -c pm clear com.android.packageinstaller
adb shell su -c pm clear com.android.providers.downloads
adb shell su -c pm clear com.android.vending
adb shell su -c pm clear com.google.android.backuptransport
adb shell su -c pm clear com.google.android.gms
adb shell su -c pm clear com.google.android.gsf
adb shell su -c mount -o remount,ro /system
Please also follow my instructions above for resetting the IDs before rebooting.
Google then recognizes a new device! Have fun :fingers-crossed:

OMG, I think that worked, thank you! I spent 5 hrs and stayed up to 3am trying to work this out with no luck, and this did the trick. To make things easier however, I morphed these commands into a dirty "one-liner" that saves entering each command.
Code:
adb shell settings delete secure android_id && adb shell settings delete secure advertising_id && adb shell settings delete secure bluetooth_address && adb shell settings put secure bluetooth_name 'Redmi Note 4' && adb shell settings put global device_name 'Redmi Note 4' && adb shell settings put global wifi_p2p_device_name 'Redmi Note 4' && adb shell su -c mount -o remount,rw /system && adb shell su -c rm /data/system/users/0/accounts.db && adb shell su -c rm /data/system/users/0/accounts.db-journal && adb shell su -c rm /data/system/users/0/photo.png && adb shell su -c rm /data/system/sync/accounts.xml && adb shell su -c rm /data/system/sync/pending.xml && adb shell su -c rm /data/system/sync/stats.bin && adb shell su -c rm /data/system/sync/status.bin && adb shell su -c pm clear com.android.packageinstaller && adb shell su -c pm clear com.android.providers.downloads && adb shell su -c pm clear com.android.vending && adb shell su -c pm clear com.google.android.backuptransport && adb shell su -c pm clear com.google.android.gms && adb shell su -c pm clear com.google.android.gsf && adb shell su -c mount -o remount,ro /system
I'm sure there is a more efficient way of stacking commands, but this worked. Replace "Redmi Note 4" with your actual device and reboot. I cleared data for any messaging apps and removed my Google account before I began, however.

Quick update.
After a bit more testing, turns out that there were still a few things that needed clearing, particularly on different versions of Android (7.1). Also, I've noticed that a GSF ID can be generated before you get a chance to capture an image if you leave Wi-Fi enabled, so I've included that in the script. I've ended up with a .BAT file with the following:
Code:
echo on
adb shell settings delete secure android_id
adb shell settings delete secure advertising_id
adb shell settings delete secure bluetooth_address
adb shell su -c mount -o remount,rw /system
adb shell su -c svc wifi disable
adb shell su -c rm /data/system/users/0/accounts.db
adb shell su -c rm /data/system/users/0/accounts.db-journal
adb shell su -c rm /data/system/users/0/photo.png
adb shell su -c rm /data/system/users/0/settings_ssaid.xml
adb shell su -c rm /data/system/sync/accounts.xml
adb shell su -c rm /data/system/sync/pending.xml
adb shell su -c rm /data/system/sync/stats.bin
adb shell su -c rm /data/system/sync/status.bin
adb shell su -c pm clear com.google.android.ext.services
adb shell su -c pm clear com.google.android.ext.shared
adb shell su -c pm clear com.google.android.gsf.login
adb shell su -c pm clear com.google.android.onetimeinitializer
adb shell su -c pm clear com.android.packageinstaller
adb shell su -c pm clear com.android.providers.downloads
adb shell su -c pm clear com.android.vending
adb shell su -c pm clear com.google.android.backuptransport
adb shell su -c pm clear com.google.android.gms
adb shell su -c pm clear com.google.android.instantapps.supervisor
adb shell su -c pm clear com.google.android.gsf
adb shell su -c mount -o remount,ro /system
I have found that this works consistently across both LineageOS 14.1 and LineageOS 15.1 devices.

YES, this did it. I cloned a kindle fire hdx using TWRP backup&restore and had to perform the action mentioned above in order to use both devices independetly.
ATTENTION!
Remember to change the values listed in stephendt0's example that were not part of the original code from rainman74:
- device_name: Equals the device type. E.g. adb shell settings put global device_name 'KFHDX'
- bluetooth_name: Hostname of the device seen in bluetooth.
- wifi_p2p_device_name: Hostname used for a p2p wifi network aka "ad hoc network". Not supported on all devices.
Ok, after some reading, testing and trying, my conclusion is that it is not possible to tweak a running system with not triggering SELinux.
Though, for letting banking apps work it is only needed to modify the build.prop in /system, which is in fact possible, even without TWRP.
So, this is what I am doing now:
Reboot into (LOS) recovery and then in the recovery menu:
Goto “Advanced”
Mount /system
Enable adb
From your pc with adb etc.. installed:
Code:
adb shell mount -o rw,remount /mnt/system
adb shell sed -i 's/ro.debuggable=1/ro.debuggable=0/g' /mnt/system/system/build.prop
adb shell sed -i 's/ro.build.type=userdebug/ro.build.type=user/g' /mnt/system/system/build.prop
adb reboot
That's it, banking apps working!
Okay, did some further research and in fact, found a solution for my "tweaking".
Though I have the feeling most people are not tweaking anymore, I hope it helps for the few people still interested! For me the result is a more lean system, working banking apps and HD calling (VoLTE), and it is just nice to do... ;-)
Scripts and approach can be found in the next posts.
After some boot issues I finally found out what was the issue of my problems with some tweaking around.
As we have a device with A/B, after flashing the update, the active partition is automatically switched after an update. This happens when flashing, so you have to reboot to recovery again directly after flashing the updated LOS and do the tweaking then to actually tweak the right partition...
A system update for me is now:
Code:
Reboot into recovery
CHECK WHICH IS THE ACTIVE PARTITION!!
Goto “Apply Update”
Goto “Apply from adb”
adb sideload <lineageos.zip>
Goto “Advanced”
Goto “Reboot to recovery”
CHECK WHICH IS THE ACTIVE PARTITION, SHOULD BE CHANGED!!
In recovery:
Goto “Advanced”
Goto “Mount /system”
Goto “Enable ADB”
Run tweak.bat
For the latest tweak script (a bat file) I am using now, see the next post.
Hope it helps for people with banking or VoLTE issues and the need to change some settings in build.prop or else... Use the information at your own risk

For who wants to use some additional adb tweaks; it is possible to do this by enabling adb in your developer settings.

adb reboot
You can enable adb and adb-root, run the script, reboot and afterwards disable adb again.
The settings will stay even after updating, so only running the script once is enough.
Also with a custom rom you want to update your firmware so now and then.
Luckily we can find the firmware for our phone here:
lolinet mirrors - firmware, software, iso etc.
lolinet mirrors - powered by h5ai
mirrors.lolinet.com
And here is the bat-file I am using with phone connected to PC in bootloader (last changes 15/04/2023):

I am only flashing the neccessary stuff as radio and bluetooth and only that is erased what is needed for the update. No data is lost after update, no other tweaking needed.
On first reboot switch off your WiFi and wait a few seconds; carrier info will be updated from your provider and everything is working again. After that you can switch on your WiFi again ;-)
Additional some things which could improve your battery life (and data usage), although this is already great because of the large battery of the Moto G100....
Restrict battery usage in background for apps which do not need it:
go to apps, show all apps, per app, go to battery usage and switch to restricted
For the apps with restricted battery usage, I also switch of background usage of mobile data and VPN.
go to apps, show all apps, per app, go to mobile data and wifi and switch off background usage and VPN
Switch off mobile data for all apps which do not need an internet connections
same approach, though switch off complete network access. You can do this for several apps which you are using without the need of an internet connection like most barcode and QR scanners, file browsers, card storage apps, galery's etc...
In network settings - SIM cards - preferred network types, only select the network types you really need and which are optimised for your usage.
for me this is NR/LTE/GSM/WCDMA as I switch off mobile data at night with profile settings and want to be available by phone (GSM/WCDMA), though for most people only NR/LTE will probably even fit when you are using the VoLTE changes from the first posts and VoLTE is working ;-)
Set peak frequency for screen refresh to 60 Herz, not 90 Herz. 90 Herz is more fluent when scrolling, though for normal reading, internet usage etc... I see no need for 90 Herz and it will save your battery
Set the time-out for your screen as short as possible. I am using 1 minute and it is okay for me.
Enable double click on status or lock screen to enable sleep and really use it.
Use dark theme and black background, although we do not have a led screen, it is still saving battery
Disable location and bluetooth when you are not using it, enable wifi (only) when available.
Disable tick to activate, screensaver and fingerprint sensor swipe
Don't use full brightness, though try to set it that low as possible
Don't charge your phone to 100% every time, though try to keep the battery level between 30-80%.
This is also why I have set battery saving planning to a percentage of 30%.
When you don't need your email updated real time, disable push and only use getting POP3 email for example every hour.
Although I am using a script to remove system apps after an update, you can also disable some system apps you not need. Either way; try to disable as much as possible which is not neccessary for a good working phone.
That's it for now. When I have some additional ideas I will let you know!
Outside of banking apps & enabling volte. What do your other removal of packages and tweaks do? Can you give a general breakdown?

Sorry but you really have to check yourself.
There are several websites where the apps of Android are explained
The same counts for the build.prop settings.
I think it would be good to check yourself so you know what you are doing.
And even better... may be you will find other tweaks you can share with us!

Fair enough. You'd mentioned to chmod after updating. Do I have to do that if I just run your bat file to update it? Sorry for the rookie questions as I'm no expert at linux scripts.

No, not neccessary when you are using the script and edit the file by using adb this way.
No rights are modified that way.

Hi @Timmons;
Could it be that you removed the first part of the bat file where the drives are mounted?
Could you therefor share the complete bat file you are using now, so I can actually check what is or could be wrong?

And what happens when you copy the lines to the command line one by one instead of using the bat file?
Could you for example try the following lines to check:
Code:
adb devices
adb shell mkdir /mnt/vendor
adb shell mount /dev/block/dm-9 /mnt/vendor
adb shell ls /mnt/vendor
You should see a directory listing (ls) of /mnt/vendor or an error message somewhere

Hmmm... it seems that your partitions are different as dm-9 is not known... strange ;-)
Could you try:
adb devices
adb shell ls /dev/block/dm*

Ok, it seems you do not have dm-9, so indeed partitions are different.
What I have done to find out what is what is the following:
adb shell mkdir /mnt/tmpdir
adb shell mount /dev/block/dm-0 /mnt/tmpdir
adb shell ls mnt/tmpdir
Then you see what the content is of dm-0 so you know which dir it is
After that you can do
adb shell umount /mnt/tmpdir
adb shell mount /dev/block/dm-1
adb shell ls mnt/tmpdir
etc....
It seems you have to find the right setup for mounting the drives, after that you can slightly modify the script and use it for your phone.
