REMOTE TERMINAL
Execute any shell command by SMS
Introduction:
This app will read receiving sms and executes shell commands in them. It is very useful in many ways. You can delete your private data from your device in case you lost your phone. You can even turn off your device by this method. Every command that you execute in terminal emulators in your devices can be executed by this method. Every command is executed with super user permissions. So you have full control over your device by a simple sms. To stop any other people using this other than the owner, I added password protection for it.
Instructions:
1. Open the app (Remote Terminal)
2. Enter "null" as the current password. (case sensitive)
3. Enter anything as you wish as your password. (case sensitive)
4. Start typing a sms from any device, anywhere in the world starting with your password. (CASE SENSITIVE)
5.Enter your set of commands - each command in a NEW line
(when starting terminal session it's in the root folder)
Example: making a folder in sdcard named ravindu
Code:
yourpassword
cd sdcard
mkdir ravindu
or
Code:
yourpassword
mkdir sdcard/ravindu
6.Send the sms to your device.
7. You will be asked to grant SuperUser access to the app. Give permanent superuser permissions (only for the first time)
You don't have to waste your sms by sending 1 sms for 1 command. Send all commands in 1 sms
Requirements:
A ROOTED device
NOTE:
Password is case sensitive in every place.
Give me your comments and suggestions about this app. If I have any time, I will try to develop this app.
See the 2nd post for a list of some useful commands

This sounds....secure
Use a strong password... then send it via SMS. Hmmmmm...
question....
Is it compatible with gryphon secure messaging platform? Or does it listen to default SMS app only...?
I use gryphon a lot, and would prefer to use it to send the commands; just as an extra precaution...
when you loss your phone, your SIM card was replaced! and you can not know Phone number, can we control by 3G or wifi?
and can you give us all command of emulator?

By default the only available commands for the emulator are :-
Code:
echo -- prints text to stdout.
set -- sets shell variables
export -- makes shell variables available to command-line programs
cd -- change the current directory.
pwd -- print name of the current directory.
But if you have busybox installed on your device then you have many more commands like cp, rm and many more Linux commands
@RavinduSha- Nice work bro. Happy programming
super user request?
(deleted post as i figured out i had a setting on go sms pro interfeering with it opps both apps work now)

Bro there are many guides for using shell commands. Just search.
I can give the code for opening an app. For that you have to provide me the AndroidManifest.xml file from that package. If it's a stock app tell me the package name.
(AndroidManifest.xml file is needed for identifying the package name and the main activity)

same for me with Stock LB1 rooted
The problem is if we not delete them..they will consume a lot of space..eating our internal memory..

it is like some kind of debug function is still enabled in LB1 firmware, maybe the samsung dev forgot to disable it

I've written this in another thread, so I figure I'll just repost this here for everyone's reference.
There's a workaround for this problem. Just remove the execute permission from /system/bin/dumpstate so the error log is not generated. There's a few ways you can do this:
Using ADB. Just type in the computer command prompt with the phone connected via USB. Of course, you need USB debugging enabled and have the android SDK installed on the computer.
Code:
adb shell chmod a-x /system/bin/dumpstate
Using Terminal Emulator on the phone. Just type the following commands:
Code:
$ su
# chmod a-x /system/bin/dumpstate
Using a root enabled file explorer on the phone such as Root Explorer or ES File Explorer. Browse to /system/bin/, find dumpstate, tap-hold to open the properties and remove all the Execute permissions.

System memory continously decreasing
Hi all,
I'm having this same issue of system memory decreasing at a rapid rate. Had to do a factory reset once. Phone is non rooted. Checked the dump state file but it's really small in size. And i can't change executable permissions for that using es explorer without root. Any solution please?

Root. Sounds like you don't have root. You need root to do the above.

Same as above. To change permissions on files in the system partition, you need root.
Thanks. What is causing the continual decrease? Can't root at least until the weekend but internal memory will be over in a day by the looks of it. :what:

You said system memory in post 15, and internal memory above in post 17. Which is it?
In any case, I don't know what all you have installed and how you use your phone, so I can only guess what the cause would be.
If you for sure want it to stop, do a factory reset, (but you will lose all apps and user data) and carefully monitor what apps you re-install.
Sorry, it's obviously the system memory I am referring to. Already did a factory reset once and hardly installed anything later on. Still 1 gb used up.

The purpose of this thread is to make u familiar with the ADB (Android Debug Bridge)
It is a tool that lets u communicate with ur android device that is connected to ur pc.
In the first tutorial we shall learn some basics of adb and then advance to use pro commands in further tutorials.
Requirements
1. Adb link - http://dl.google.com/android/adt/adt-bundle-windows-x86-20130219.zip
2. Windows based pc ( yes we will use windows and not linux as i dun want to communicate anything that i havent tried by myself )
1. Download and extract the zip ADB in any drive , lets say C:
2. Go to C:/adb/sdk/platform-tools and u will something like

select open command window here
then type adb start-server
in order to ensure ur device is connected and recognized by adb , type adb devices , u will get something like this
View attachment 1940190
Now once your adb is setup up, lets play.....
GETTING LOGCAT THROUGH ADB
Easiest of all
just type
adb logcat
u will see entire log ur phone,
use ctrl+c to skip it
To get logcat in a file
type
adb logcat > logcat.txt
u will see a file logcat which will save ur phone's realtime process log.
TO GET A BUGREPORT
type adb bugreport
bt bt bt.. this will show info that wont b readable ..
so type
adb bugreport>result.txt
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1936973&d=1367737608
USING ADB WITH SUPERUSER PERMISSIONS
for this , u must be rooted
command
adb root
if it is success it will show something like

View attachment 1936893
View attachment 1940189
COPYING A FILE VIA ADB
this is pretty easy
command u use is
adb pull
i have given a example by pulling the framework-res.apk from system/framework folder
View attachment 1940191
the file that u pull, u will see it in the platform -tools folder
PUSHING A FILE INTO YOUR PHONE
very similar to pull, bt this copies file from ur pc to ur android .
command u use is
adb push
For eg,
i have pushed the papertoss.apk file from C:\sanket\apps to sdcard/nimbuzz folder through the command
adb push C:\SANKET\apps\papertoss.apk /sdcard/nimbuzz
if u get success u will see something like this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1937039&stc=1&d=1367739756
this command is very powerful and u can shift an entire video or movie folder via a single command anywhere on ur android
more commands added
thanks to @Guich
Code:
adb remount
This command remount the /system partition in read/write
Code:
adb usb
Restarts the adbd daemon listening on USB

The command set shall b updated within few days.
Feel free to drop ur comments, corrections, commands.
All commands have been verified by me..
once i learn more, i will share more.
criticism is welcomed if its healthy
Thread material is not copied and will never be.
Thread will be updated with newer and complex commands soon with pics.
For developers, this is just a piece of cake which they can do with their eyes closed
i have made this specially for beginners ( like me )
PS - make sure the path name has no spaces
Also take care of the upper and lower case letters
Thanks @hiratafabio

Good and simple tutorial, thanks!
I have a question, though. Today I pushed a file from my PC to my device and it went OK, but when I tried to push another, all I got was the adb command list, as if I typed 'adb help'. I killed adb server, restarted it, no luck. Restarted the phone, no luck either. Tried 'adb device' to see if listed the device and it did, do it was connected.
What can it be?

My user has administrator rights, so I guess it's OK, right?
Funny thing is that works for only one push, if I try another, it doesn't work.
adb root gives 'adbd cannot run in production builds' error.
I guess I figured it out: filenames can't have spaces, is this correct? I tried pushing files that have spaces and it didn't work. When I renamed them, it worked like a charm. First I thought the problem was the path, that adb couldn't push files that were two or more levels inside folders, but some I was able to push, others I wasn't, but I also figured out that the path can't have spaces on it.
So that's it, no spaces in both path and filenames do the trick. I think it's a good tip to have in the OP, so people get aware of it if they face a problem just like I did.
Thanks again!
Lol buddy yes files names cant have spaces and also u need to take care of upper n lower case

DISCLAIMER:
I'm not responsible for damage to your phone or watch.
You are using this app at your own responsibility
WearToolbox was just an idea to make life easier.
With WearToolbox you can connect from your phone to your watch through adb, with this it's possible to send commands or sideload apps etc. (see features).
For now design doesn't matter for me, functionality does. Design will be better when app is in a further stage.
When enough people have tested it and provided me feedback, it will be released in the Play Store for easier updating.
The app is in DEVELOPMENT and TEST stage and can have BUGS.
Tested on LG Watch R with Android Wear 5.1.1 and LG G2 5.0.2
Have fun with it and let me know if it works or not!
FEATURES
- Automatic installation of necessary binaries (adb -> /system/bin/)
- Automatic connection
- Reboot (system, recovery, bootloader)
- Sideload apps (/sdcard/WearToolbox/sideload/)
- Uninstall apps
- Push files to /sdcard/
- Send adb commands (adb command)
- Send shell commands (adb shell command)
- ADB and shell command history
- Script parser for own created scripts
TODO:
- Make a nicer UI
IDEAS:
- Pull files
- ADB filebrowser
REQUIREMENTS
- Enabled debug and bluetooth debug on android watch, developer options (youtube)
- Enabled debug on phone, developer options
- Enabled debug in Android Wear app, under settings
- Rooted phone
FAQ:
Q: How to use root with shell:
A:
Code:
"su -c '[COMMAND]'"
Snippets:
Code:
"su -c 'echo 85 > /sys/class/timed_output/vibrator/amp'"
Code:
"su -c 'echo 120 > /sys/class/timed_output/vibrator/driving_ms'"
Code:
wm density 200
Q: How to sideload apps:
A: Place apk in the folder /sdcard/WearToolbox/sideload/, restart WearToolbox, choose right apk, click sideload, wait a long time
Q: How to use scripts:
A: Make for example a dummy.txt file in /sdcard/WearToolbox/scripts/ with shell commands in it. Each command on a newline. Save it, restart WearToolbox, test it.
Example (vibrate.txt):
Code:
cat /sys/class/timed_output/vibrator/amp
cat /sys/class/timed_output/vibrator/driving_ms
"su -c 'echo 85 > /sys/class/timed_output/vibrator/amp'"
"su -c 'echo 120 > /sys/class/timed_output/vibrator/driving_ms'"
cat /sys/class/timed_output/vibrator/amp
cat /sys/class/timed_output/vibrator/driving_ms

- Can you check if the files 'adb' and 'fastboot' are present in /system/bin/
- What is there permission? should be 755
- Are the files 'adb' and 'fastboot' on your root of your /sdcard/
- Can you type 'adb' and 'fastboot' in terminal and post output
- Can you type 'mount -o remount, rw /system' in terminal and post output
For me HOST and TARGET are connected in Android Wear App
@Diechel , I have adb but not fastboot in /system/bin
Okay copied adb and fastbook to /system/bin and 755'd them.

I dont know if logcat helps, what you can try is manually connect with terminal on your phone.
Code:
su
adb kill-server
setprop service.adb.tcp.port 5555
stop adbd
start adbd
adb forward tcp:4444 localabstract:/adb-hub
adb connect localhost:4444
adb devices
Each line need to be filled in, not all together.
And try build 21
Did the manual Terminal stuff and it FIXED the 4444 problem, installed v21 and.....[emoji1]

Yes i had, will try again.
It takes some time for the watch to install, will try now and report back!
Edit:
From what i see now is that the message done comes too fast.
Bluetooth is slow and is still transferring after the done message, can see that in my top bar.
Seems not working indeed, will check thanks
EDIT:
It got installed after a while
Good that it is working! Will see how i can report in log
I got it installed too, yes the done is misleading .... GREAT app btw, well done [emoji106] [emoji106]

Haha thank you, now there is a message that you need to wait untill it arrives on your watch, bluetooth is slow
@Diechel are you planning on adding the trickier "adb remove sideloaded app" but I think it may not be possible. .

This is simple EFS backup tool. We are very well knowing about what EFS is and why it is MUST to backup on every rooted device. If you don't know then Read this.
You needs root access to use this tool otherwise app won't open..
Location of stored file :
Device storage/MyEFS
If you unable to see backup, contact me with details of your device variant
Download :
Pro Version
XDA version (free)- Attached at end of this post.
Difference between Free/Play store
-Both version makes backup in same format and no difference in backup.
-Pro version have option to Restore with single click
-Free version will save file in MyEFS and if you make next backup it will replace older one. While play store version everytime creates new folder with date ,Time and your IMEI stamp so you can keep multiple backup as well no confulsion about which backup is made when and on which device. Also it makes copy of build.prop so you can get idea you were on which ROM when backup created)
-Play store version give notification in case backup not created.
-Weekly Auto backup feature available on play store version.
-PIT creator. Play store V1.1 added option to create PIT file from existing layout

This tool using generic name of partition block and you can restore with simple adb shell
dd if=/path of backup files/ of=/partition block according your device
ChangeLog
1.0 - Initial release. (3644)
1.1 - Fixed for systemless root users.
What is EFS
This part of the device contains some important and some basic info related to our device identity like Bluetooth MAC address, wireless devices MAC addresses, product code (also in the nv_data.bin) and the very main IMEI address (nv_data.bin), programming parameters for the device such as your account information (phone number, etc), data provisioning parameters, and a whole bunch of other things. So you can guess it's will be different for each device and one can't use others. In latest samsung device this information store in other partition so requires to make backup of that partition too.
How it can corrupt :
- Any bad flashing, mishandling system modification can cause this.
- Also It can be corrupted by downgrading stock ROM. If you flash any old ROM on newer ROM it can corrupt EFS. Basically newer ROM believed to have new kernel that changes EFS data which older Modems can't read and results to fail in reading IMEI.
Impact on device/How I know I have corrupted EFS
When there is EFS partition is corrupted, device loses IMEI and due to this device can't gets connected to network. Baseband info also sometimes shows unknown.
-Check your IMEI in setting / by dialling *#06# if it is null OR if it starts with 0049** then IMEI is generic and corrupted. In Normal case IMEI which you can see in device setting or dialing *#06# is exactly same you can see on bill/box/sticker under battery compartment
-If you are unable to connect to network in spite of correct IMEI, chance are
A. Your device is Locked to specific Network OR
B. Your device is banned due to tempered IMEI
-If your AP,CP,CSC all are correct and even you are getting error (unknown CSC XXX) on kies update, it may be due to corrupt Product code in EFS. Read This for detail.
What care should i take
Before flashing anything, first thing you should do is to make EFS backup. Every person who have rooted device should make EFS backup earliest and place it to safer place on PC and /Cloud.
If you are on older ROM, make EFS backup on older ROM as well make another after upgrading ROM too.
If you have already updated to newer ROM, make backup on current ROM.
Exit "Permanent Safe Mode" This condition represent with loss of IMEI + yellow text box on homescreen with device info.here is Screenshot
Here is different method to remove it.
Method1 :
Open root explorer.
Navigate to /efs/FactoryApp/
Open "factorymode" file as Text and edit it:
Change this:
Code:
OFF
To:
Code:
ON
Open "keystr" file as Text and edit it:
Code:
OFF
To:
Code:
ON
Reboot device.
Method2:
Open Terminal emulator
Write the following:
Code:
su
Then click enter. It will ask for super user permission, give it permissions.
Write the following & click enter:
Code:
rm /efs/FactoryApp/keystr
Write the following & click enter:
Code:

e:failed to mount /efs(invalid argument) error with bootloop
This condition usually happens with using unsupported tool (usually from play store).
To recover this, needs to use adb shell
Code:
adb shell
mke2fs / dev/block/mmcblk0p[COLOR="Red"]x[/COLOR]
mount-w-t ext4 / dev/block/mmcblk0p[COLOR="red"]x[/COLOR] / efs
x means your device EFS partition number

Nothing happens when i try to launch the app. Is that normal, or should there be a GUI? Also tried pro version.

Which is your device model ?
Reinstall and click on app icon and wait till it ask for supersu. Once you grant permission then only app will show ui

do i need to downgrade to old firmware and restore?
many thanks for all your hardwork for the community,!
Try Restoring directly if doesn't work then flash same firmware on which you made backup. If any issue or doesn't work pm me.
Before doing anything make copy of backup on multiple storage.

the same question
Guys it's in the OP...use Terminal Emulator with the commands in the OP. .
First and foremost I am not the developer of this App! I just discovered it and thought those of you missing Greenify might find this useful.
[What's Brevent]
There are a lot of apps which claim to prevent apps from running. However, most of them requires ROOT, or do a system modification via Xposed or patching or unlocked bootloader.
Brevent can app-standby or force-stop apps, prevent apps from running in long time. It doesn't require ROOT, nor modify system. Furthermore, it may doesn't work well on ROOT or modified system. There is an experimental feature to start Brevent Server without adb, please read guide - permissions.
Brevent supports Android 5.0 to Android O DP3, requires "USB debugging" in "developer options". I mainly used it on Google Pixel with Android 7.1.2.
[Simple Guide]
0. (Device) open Brevent, read "Guide"
1. (Device) open Brevent, navigate to "Developer Options", turn on "USB debugging"
2. (PC) Download ADB: https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools.html
(If you live in China, you can download it here too: https://developer.android.google.cn/studio/releases/platform-tools.html)
3. (PC) Uncompress, navigate to "platform-tools" directory in Command Line, refer to "Guide - ADB"
4. (PC and Device) connect device and PC with usb cable, type "adb devices" in PC Command Line, and confirm the authorized dialog on Devices if needed
5. (PC) type "adb -d shell sh /data/data/me.piebridge.brevent/brevent.sh" in PC Command Line
[FeedBack]
For any issues, please open an issue at github with logs: https://github.com/brevent/Brevent/issues
1. crash log (in PC's command line): adb -d logcat -d -b crash
2. brevent server log (in PC's command line): adb -d logcat -d -b main -s BreventServer BreventLoader
2.1. enable debug for Brevent Server, type in PC's command line: adb -d shell setprop log.tag.BreventServer DEBUG, then get brevent server log
2.2. disable debug for BreventServer, type in PC's command line: adb -d shell setprop log.tag.BreventServer "" (Note for the back slash)

according to the info, you have to regrant permissions thru ADB every darn reboot or it's useless.

One of the reasons I rate this phone so highly is that there are plenty of 'native' features present that make rooting less necessary.
My phone is a UK Sky Mobile Exynos model, and under 'Maintenance', 'Battery' there is an option to put 'non running' apps to sleep, just like 'Greenify'. I don't know if this is true for other regions or carrier's. Maybe other people can check this to see if it's so for their region and carrier.

I agree with you on the phone but there are two features that I miss with root.
1. Titanium Backup - they ability to back up your apps and data. I know there is Samsung Cloud but I'm not a big fan of cloud based services.
2. TWRP - the ability to back up your whole phone and restore it if needed.

I get your apprehension about cloud based services, but this is 2017, you'll have to bite the bullet sooner rather than later.
Also don't forget, if you have really super sensitive or personal data that you can't trust to cloud based services, we have 'Smart Switch'. Enables you to make as close to a 'nandroid' backup as is possible, and to store it locally. You can then restore single elements or the whole phone. Thank you Samsung.

Yes I read a thread yesterday that said you can use Smart Switch and back it up to your sdcard. It's getting better, I started with the T-Mobile G-1 and the only way to root and even do screenshots was with adb. I learned adb and it has served me well on android, even on the S8+ to get rid of the battery icon I had to run a few commands to get SystenTuner UI to work.
Why don't you just use Samsung built in always sleeping option for apps? Works great

If you have rooted, it's not problem.
And if you don't have rooted, no other alternative third-party apps can app-standby other apps or force-stop apps quickly.
I am rooted, but the app doesnt seem to see that I am rooted.

And then a new menu appears
There you press on "ROOT"....
