[MISC] 1click tools (Windows only)

S-Off + Perm root is required to use this tools!
there are 3 batch files inside:
_Radio.bat
_Recovery.bat
_EngBootloader.bat
how to use:
_EngBootloader - run and follow instructions
_Radio.bat - download radio image, rename it to radio.img and put it into the directory, run _Radio.bat
_Recovery.bat - download recovery image, rename it to recovery.img and put it into directory, run _Recovery.bat
don't know if all of you think that those tools are useful, but for some people it may be useful cause they aren't familar with cmd & adb
code for the batch files are included in the 2nd post, executables (no drivers) for adb and fastboot are included in the attachment

No, unfortunately these are a group off tools that can only be used once you are S-OFF.
So S-ON need not apply
@Blezz : thanks these will be useful

i don't know if they will be useful, they are still simply work.. it's more for... lazy people

[q] is there a way to access system files through recovery/bootloader?

whenever i turn my phone, i get an error that says the com.android.sdksetup application failed or something like that and when forced to close, it would just show up again.
as a result, i'm stuck in that infinite loop, i can only access recovery (3e) and the bootloader. I've tried a factory reset but that only erases user data. Since it runs on 3e recovery, I get signature verification errors when trying to flash to a different rom. I was wondering if there's any way I can access the system files through any of these two modes? the phone is the Gooapple 3g

I dont know about your specific phone, but i managed to get a bit of info from a google search
I believe what yo want to be doing is flashing a recovery that allows you ADB write access to /system (if your recovery doesnt already - try 'adb remount' or 'adb shell mount -o remount,rw /system')
You may need the PdaNetA302.exe file from http://www.alcatel-mobilephones.com/...iew/full/25287 to use USB ADB
This thread may be useful: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1252195
the clockworkmod recovery section may be useful as cwm allows read/write access to the /system partition via ADB:
INSTALL CLOCKWORK RECOVERY (orange lantern recovery)
Flashing custom recovery image:
{Non ADB method}
1) Download flash_image and place it on the root of your SD card: http://db.tt/flHRxiG
2) Download recovery.img to the root of your SD card: http://db.tt/uy56zhj
3) Open Terminal Emulator and issue these commands:
Code:
$ su
# cp /sdcard/flash_image /system/bin
# chmod 747 /system/bin/flash_image
# flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
4) If you see a bunch of successful on your screen then it has flashed properly.
{ADB method}
1) Open up command prompt and issue these commands:
Code:
C:\Users\Your_Name> cd ..
C:\Users> cd ..
2) Navigate to your installed Android SDK (Mine is under the Program Files (x86) folder):
Code:
C:\> cd Program Files (x86)
C:\Program Files (x86)> cd Android/android-sdk/platform-tools
3) Connect your device to your computer and make sure you have USB Debugging enabled on your phone.
4) Issue this command to verify that your computer recognizes your phone:
Code:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools> adb devices
5) If you see your phones serial then it is connected.
6) Download flash_image and place it in the platform-tools folder: http://db.tt/flHRxiG
7) Download the recovery.img and place it on the root of your SD card: http://db.tt/uy56zhj
8) Issue these commands in command prompt:
Code:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools> adb push flash_image /system/bin
C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools> adb shell chmod 747 /system/bin/flash_image
C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools> adb shell
# flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
9) If you see a bunch of successful on your screen then it has flashed properly.
boot into recovery, hold home whilst powering on, after 5 long seconds, let go of home and then push home again, you will need to put the volume/menu-back toggle to "volume" mode and according to deepakpitrola333, you need to cycle the list 3 times using volume to allow selection.

1. Make sure you have installed ADB and FASTBOOT command line tools first. You can install them from here: http://code.google.com/p/adb-fastboot-install/
2. Download djrbliss's exploit files. You can find it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1952038
3. Extract the entire zip file.
4. Connect your device via USB, ensure USB debugging mode is enabled.
5. Open Terminal and enter into the folder that you extract that zip file.
6. Just type the following command lines step by step:
1. adb wait-for-device
May be you will see this information in your terminal
=======================================
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
=======================================
2. adb restore backup1.ab
3. adb shell "rm /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/a/b 2>/dev/null"
4. adb shell "ln -s /dev/diag /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/a/b 2>/dev/null"
5. adb restore backup2.ab
6. adb push pwn /data/local/tmp
After this you can see some information in your terminal like this:
========================================
1180 KB/s (64526 bytes in 0.053s)
========================================
7. adb shell "chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/pwn"
8. adb shell "/data/local/tmp/pwn"
After this if you see this in your terminal that means you are close to success:
========================================
[+] Set CID!
========================================
9. adb reboot bootloader
In this step, just keep waiting until your phone enter into fastboot mode, then excute step 10.
10. adb kill-server
11. fastboot oem readcid
If you see the cid like this you are success!!!
========================================
...
(bootloader) cid: 11111111
OKAY [ 0.010s]
finished. total time: 0.010s
========================================
12. fastboot oem get_identifier_token
Finally you can get your own identifier token.

For some reason the adb commands dont work for me. Is there something I'm missing?
Edit: Figured it out but now I get a "Failed." error when I type adb shell "/data/local/tmp/pwn"

I also encounter this problem. Try to factory reset your phone first. I do this then it works fine.

Hi, I tried this guide just a teclast tbook 16 power, but it doesn't work for me, I don't install Magisk-v18.1.zip, from compatibility errors.
Why?

[HELP] Need help running command 'fastboot erase modemst1' on Pixel 5

After the March security update my Pixel 5 is not receiving any mobile network and i am not able to turn on radio power via the *#*#4636#*# command.
After googling for a solution i found similar posts which suggested resetting the modemst1 and 2 partitions
Tried running the following commands in adb but was unable to
Code:
adb shell 'dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/modemst1'
adb shell 'dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/modemst2'
For fastboot I used the following commands
Code:
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
which gave me an error
Code:
FAILED (remote: Not allowed to erase (modemst1))
I'm also not able to boot into adb root but i am able to run adb shell su
I tried installing adbd insecure which was unable to patch adbd and also installed an adb_root module in magisk which still failed to initialize adb root
Currently I'm running ProtonOS on my Pixel 5. I thought running a custom rom might help but the problem still persists
Please help

Hi.
I would suggest making a back up before you erase a partition in case you need to restore it.
Make sure to name the backup clearly so you know what it is.
Since you do not have adb root, you need to run the command as root using su -c "NameOfCommand".
If you boot into a custom recovery, you generally have adbd and do not need to use the su -c option.
Also double check your path, you should be able to call it from /dev/block/by-name.
or list by-name, ls -la /dev/block/by-name/ and call it from the true partition number.
Example of making a backup.
Dump the partition(s) into an image.
Code:
adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/by-name/modemst1 of=/sdcard/redfin-modemst1.img"
adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/by-name/modemst2 of=/sdcard/redfin-modemst2.img"
Copy the image(s) to computer.
Code:
adb pull /sdcard/redfin-modemst1.img
adb pull /sdcard/redfin-modemst2.img
Delete the image(s) from the device.
Code:
adb shell rm /sdcard/redfin-modemst1.img
adb shell rm /sdcard/redfin-modemst2.img
You need to be in fastbootd to modify critical partitions.
adb reboot bootloader will reboot into fastboot.
adb reboot fastboot will reboot into fastbootd.
You can do the same in fastboot/fastbootd
fastboot reboot bootloader will reboot into fastboot.
fastboot reboot fastboot will reboot into fastbootd.
Be Careful.
There are always risks involved when you start messing around with a device.
If something goes wrong, you may end up with a non-working "bricked" device.
This is especially true when you start modifying partitions.
Good luck.
Cheers.

Hello, I hope you will see this text. As you have mentioned, I have rebooted my Pixel 5 to fastbootd but I cannot erase any critical partition. for example, when i run fastboot erase cache OR fastboot erase modemst1, i get the same error message saying FAILED (remote: 'Partition doesn't exist'). Would you mind helping me? I would appreciate it a lot. Thank you.
