Running ADB commands through powershell

Closed 6 years ago.
i am writing batch script for executing adb commands but while executing "SU" commands only the first commands runs "adb shell" and stops
as the script is typing all the commands very fast and not waiting for previous command to run completely so that next command can be entered into the shell window that is "su" example of code is below
:lckscreen
adb shell
su
rm /data/system/gesture.key
rm /data/system/*.key
exit
exit
pause
goto menu4
i also tried
adb shell & su
but still same Result
shell#Samsung_s4:/ $
please help
Please try
adb shell "su -c 'rm /data/system/gesture.key'"
adb shell "su -c 'rm /data/system/*.key'"
and see the question in How to use su command over adb shell?
You will have to create a separate .txt file containing all the shell commands, in example:
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
mv /system/build.prop /sdcard
Make sure to have put an "enter" at the bottom to execute the last command. Now, in the bat file, where you'd normally put adb shell etc. Put adb shell > nameofyourtxt.txt.
If the only command you want to execute is "su", you can do adb shell su.

I have my laptop connected to an android phone.
I am doing a task many times, so I wish to write a .bat file to run the commands automatically.
adb shell
cd /sdcard/speech
rm -f *
The bat file only executed adb shell, the rest codes were not executed.
I guess because the it entered the android device so the commands did not run as usual.
One solution was adb shell rm -f -r /sdcard/speech/*
What if there are more and more complicated commands?
Is there a way to do it ?
You can do your job with adb shell "cd /sdcard/speech; rm -f *".
For more complicated jobs, you can put all the commands in a Linux shell script, use adb push command to push the script to your Android device, and run the script using adb shell.
For example, put all the commands in run.sh, then issue:
adb push run.sh /data/local/tmp
adb shell "chmod +x /data/local/tmp/run.sh"
After this you can run your jobs with:
adb shell "/data/local/tmp/run.sh"
You can include the above line in a .bat file.
This is my idea of what I want to do, simply execute the following commands but instead right after the line "adb shell" it stops, no other command can be triggered, whatever it is.
adb connect 192.168.1.101:5555
adb shell
su
rm /data/system/locksettings.db
rm /data/system/locksettings.db-wal
rm /data/system/locksettings.db-shm
PAUSE
reboot
adb shell command alone with out any extra parameters starts the shell in the interactive mode. Meaning it just sits there waiting for user input indefinitely. Your script never gets past that line.
What you really want is:
adb connect 192.168.1.101:5555
adb shell su 0 rm /data/system/locksettings.db
adb shell su 0 rm /data/system/locksettings.db-wal
adb shell su 0 rm /data/system/locksettings.db-shm
PAUSE
adb reboot
I want to execute this shell commands by program. How can I do it?
cd C:\android-sdk\platform-tools
adb shell
su
mount -t rfs -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
cp /sdcard/MyApp.apk /system/app/MyApp.apk
We can execute shell comands by using Runtime class.
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("ls");
The above piece of code will create a native process for given command ls, will return same process as a Process object.

You Should write the exact syntax you used here in a .bat file, and then just execute it.
It seems you are on a Microsoft station so considering using batch would give you this :
1st method : Stay on your station and send usefull commands
cd C:\android-sdk\platform-tools
adb shell "su -c 'mount -o rw,remount /system'"
adb shell "su -c 'cp /sdcard/MyApp.apk /system/app/MyApp.apk'"
adb shell "su -c 'mount -o ro,remount /system'"
The only thing is you will launch and close 3 shells but its not really and issue.
2nd method : Stay on your station send a sh script on sdcard and execute it
cd C:\android-sdk\platform-tools
adb push myscript.sh /sdcard/
adb shell "su -c 'sh /sdcard/myscript.sh'"
with "myscript.sh" containing :
#!/system/bin/sh
mount -o rw,remount /system
cp /sdcard/MyApp.apk /system/app/MyApp.apk
mount -o ro,remount /system
Remember that Android shell scripts created on Microsoft station have CRLF line ending !
You need to get LF only ending your lines on UNIX like systems !
One problem with ADB is that you need multiple commands to get things done.
For example:
adb shell
su
cp /data/local/x /data/local/y
exit
adb pull /data/local/y
Can this be done using python popen and os-system? Tried the example below without success..
print 'Starting emulator...'
subprocess.Popen(['emulator', '-avd', 'testavd'])
os.system('adb wait-for-device')
os.system('Perform whatever adb commands you need')
Any pointers?
You can simply do:
adb shell su -c cp /data/local/x /data/local/y
adb pull /data/local/y
or, if you want to run more than one command (only Linux & OSX):
adb shell <<EOF
ls
date
cat /proc/version
exit
EOF
I have created a script to mount partitions and do some stuff in my Android system. I saved the script as install.sh in the /bin folder of Android.
I want to call the script from ADB, which is itself called from a batch file on Windows, but it needs to be executed as root.
The first solution I tried was to call the script using
adb shell "su -c sh /bin/script.sh"
but it does not work as it gives me a shell access (with root permissions), but nothing is executed.
I also tried to call
adb root "sh /bin/script.sh"
but I got the following error
adbd cannot run as root in production builds
I then tried to write
su -c "command"
for all the commands which need a root access in my script, but I have the same problem.
When I run the script I only obtain a root shell and nothing is executed.
If I use the first solution by hand (e.g. I call adb shell su, then my script), it works. However the whole point is to automate the process, so that adb shell can be called from another script.
Do you have any idea of how I could achieve this ?
Thanks !
This works for me:
Create myscript.bat and put into it (note the single quotes around the commands to be executed in superuser mode):
adb shell "su -c 'command1; command2; command3'"
then run myscript.bat from a DOS shell.
Note: it doesn't appear that the the DOS line continuation character (^) works in this situation. In other words, the following doesn't work for me:
adb shell "su -c '^
command1; ^
command2; ^
command3'"
This results in "Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string"
This works :
adb shell echo command which needs root privileges \| su
If you need redirection:
adb shell echo 'echo anytext > /data/data/aforbiddenfolder/file' \| su
For "copying" a local file to an android path needing root privileges (but alocalfile must not contain '):
cat alocalfile | adb shell echo "echo '`cat`' > /data/data/aforbiddenfolder/file" \| su
If you have a better way (even for su versions which don't have -c), I am interested.
This works for me:
adb shell "su -c ./data/local/tcpdump-arm -s 0 -v -w /data/local/appxpress_dump.pcap"
I am not sure if I provided a solution or asked for a better one.
I wanted to run some 200 command in batch mode to be sent to adb
I followed this approach
adb shell "su -c command ; "
adb shell "su -c command ; "
adb shell "su -c command ; "
adb shell "su -c command ; "
and I saved them in a batch file
This command
adb shell "su -c 'command1; command2; command3'"
will not work beyond a certain max size . It did not work
error: service name too long
but it does not work as it gives me a shell access (with root permissions), but nothing is executed.
How do you know that you are given root permissions? I assume you are attempting to execute the script on a device? Has your device been rooted?
You may need to give execute permissions via chmod to the file.
chmod ugo=rwx /bin/script.sh
It appears that I was using a very simple version of su which did not accept the -c argument.
I copied another su which did work. AndyD is totally right though, so I am accepting his answer instead of mine :)
