Always wondered what the terminal emulator app does? Dont now what commands to type? Well this thread is all about that
ALERT!!! ALERT!!
BELOW ARE THE COMMANDS AND THE PROCESSES THAT WILL HAPPEN BY TYPING THE COMMANDS!!!
IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND SOMETHING PLEASE SO NOT TRY IT.. IT IS RISKY AND WILL POTENTIALLY HARM YOUR DEVICE!!
DO NOT BLAME ME THEN!!
THIS IS A REFERENCE AND DEV THREAD. NOOBS SHOULD NOT LINGER AROUND HERE
The Android Shell
A "shell" is a program that listens to keyboard input from a user and performs actions as directed by the user. Android devices come with a simple shell program. This shell program is mostly undocumented. Since many people are curious about it I thought I'd write up some documentation for it.
Currently this documentation is incomplete, sorry!

Common problems
The built-in shell has very limited error handling. When you type a command name incorrectly it will say "permission denied", even though the real problem is that it couldn't find the command:

Code:
$ dir
dir: permission denied <---- this is a misleading error message, should say 'dir: not found'
$ ls
... listing of current directory
The PATH variable
The Android shell will run any program it finds in its PATH. The PATH is a list of directories. You can find out what your shell's PATH is set to by using the built-in echo command:
Code:
$ echo $PATH
/data/local/bin:/sbin:/vendor/bin:/system/sbin:/system/bin:/system/xbin
Depending upon your shell, you may see a different result.
Built in Commands
Every shell has a few built-in commands. Some common built-in commands are:
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.
Commands
To find out what commands you have available to you, use the "ls" command on each of the directories in the PATH variable.

Finding documentation for the Android commands.
Many of the Android commands are based on standard Linux (or bsd) commands. If you're curious about a command, you can sometimes learn how it works by using the "man" command on a desktop Linux or OSX (Apple Macintosh) computer. The Linux or OSX version of the command may be different in details, but much of the documentation will still apply to the Android version of the command.
Another source of documentation for people without a Linux or OSX machine handy is to use a web browser and use a web search engine to search for the text: "man Linux command-name".
List of commands
The following is a list of the commands that are present on a Nexus S phone running an Android 2.3.3 "user-debug" build. Many of these commands are not present on a "user" phone. (They are missing from a "user" phone because they are specific to developing or debugging the Android operating system.)
Code:
$ ls /data/local/bin
/data/local/bin: No such file or directory
Notice that by default there is no /data/local/bin directory. You can create this directory using the "mkdir" command if you like.
Code:
$ ls /sbin
opendir failed, Permission denied
The /sbin directory exists, but you don't have permission to access it. You need root access. If you have a developer phone, or otherwise have root access to your phone you can see what's in this directory.
Code:
$ su
# ls /sbin
ueventd
adbd
# exit
$
Notice that the shell prompt changes from a '$' to a '#' to indicate that you have root access.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Notice also that neither of the /sbin commands are useful to the shell -- the adb and ueventd files are 'daemon' programs used to implement the Android Debugger "adb" program that is used by developers.
Code:
$ ls /vendor/bin
gpsd
pvrsrvinit
Vendor/bin is where device vendors can put device-specific executables. These files are from a Nexus S.
Code:
$ ls /system/sbin
/system/sbin: No such file or directory
This directory does not exist on a Nexus S.
Code:
$ ls /system/bin

Versions of the Android Shell
Android 1.0 used a shell that had no tab completion or history editing.
Android 2.3 added history editing. You can for example use the up/down arrows to edit previous commands.
Other shells
Busybox
Busybox is a program that contains a shell and a set of command line utilities. Search Android Market for "Busybox" and you should find some versions you can install. The Busybox shell includes tab completion and history editing. Some versions of Busybox for Android do not require that you root your phone.
Debian utilities
You can install the full Debian shell and utilities. (Debian is a popular desktop Linux distribution.) I don't know the details, and it may require a "rooted" phone. Try a web search for "Debian Android install".
Custom ROMs
Some custom ROMs come with their own shells and utilities. If you are using a custom ROM, check its documentation to find out what's available.
How can I view stdout outputs in terminal emulator window?
For example with dd command, not specifying output should display it at current terminal, like in linux, but actually doesn't. Any ideas?
Hey wanna troll someone's phone
Type in terminal "stop" lololol
Sent from my E15i using xda premium
Similar to linux terminal commands I use
Nice work though, great guide, thanks dude
W!LßSO @ XDA
Great guide, but you have forgot a very useful command: grep
It allows to apply filters to the output of the commands. The syntax is:
Code:
command | grep filter
For example, to list only the apk files inside a folder:
Code:
ls /folder/to/list | grep .apk
Great guide!
IMO dmesg is also important. Maybe you should add in a description for it?
Dmesg --> prints the Linux kernel output, which is different from the Android system output, logcat. Useful for checking hardware and to see if modules started up succesfully. Also useful for debugging in conjunction with logcat.
Code:
cat /proc/kmsg > /sdcard/dmesg.txt
Copies the dmesg output to a file fled dmesg.txt on the sdcard
And
Code:
cat /dev/log/system > /sdcard/logcat.txt
Copies the logcat output to a file named logcat.txt on your sdcard.
Also, you missed out the parted and e2fsck commands, used for partitioning and checking filesystem integrity.
Also, the command free (display free ram/swap) is not included.

I am having SGS2 and yes it supports mass storage for internal sdcard...
When i connect to my computer it shows only internal sdcard and not external card which is present in the external sdcard slot...
actually the problem is that my sdcard gets detected some times and sometimes it doesnt...
i searched a lot and many of them told that it is a kernel version issue.. i updated kernel still no luck..
then i got one thread which gave me the solution of check disk so was thinking whether terminal emulator has any commands for check disk..
Hi hetunandu, great guide,
but still I don't understand few things:
1: how to run a specific action of an app?
2: how to KNOW the exact sintax of possible actions of an app?
3: is it possible to launch these commands via SSH (through an SSH server)?
eg: I want to start a audio-recording app on my phone from my computer, AND start recording from remote. Is it possible?
Thank you
(and sorry for my english..)

Usually fsck won't run on that case and you warn you, you will have to use the force option in that case.
reading traffic stats
I am trying to get the traffic stat getMobileRxBytes (or any other traffic stat) to output a usable result in the terminal emulator. The goal is simply to be able to copy the rx bytes total to be used in Tasker. However, I can't seem to be able to get any output. I would appreciate it if anybody knows the proper command/syntax to show this traffic data. Thanks.
I am on a stock rooted 4.1.1 Galaxy Nexus.
[Q] Is there a command to show some configuration ?
I have run this command on terminal emulator:
[email protected]:/ $ su
[email protected]:/ #setprop net.cdma.rstp.proxy.addr 0.0.0.0;
[email protected]:/ #setprop net.cdma.rstp.proxy.port 0;
[email protected]:/ #setprop net.cdma.httppd.proxy.addr 0.0.0.0;
[email protected]:/ #setprop net.cdma.httppd.proxy.port 0;
Is above command right..???
after that i ran "getprop" i don't see effect of that command.
Can you tell me the right way or command to change my rstp & httppd setting...? cause my Epic4G cannot play video streaming after flashing CM10 nightly.
thanks,
adit

Hi... Before this I have rooted my phone since yesterday when I accidentally copy su file from "/system" to "/system/bin/" andnow I can't get root access because on Superuser I check the su version was 3.1.1 but there got red words maybe it try saying that I put su file in wrong location and I can't move it back because my root explorer can't get root access and it just show Root Explorer acess denied by Superuser. Terminal emulator also access denied. One more I'm using Sony Ericsson W8 and it can't unlock bootloader. Could someone help me to remove su file from "/system/bin". Thanks You

Just root ur W8 again as u did before
see boot animation without rebooting
Hey Everyone,
I'm attempting to root my VS980 (software version: VS98011A) on OS X via Terminal.
I am able to the following successfully:
View my device with the command ./adb devices
Push required files supplied by TheCubed's post
I cannot successfully execute the command below. It returns the error "mount: operation not permitted"
Code:
./adb shell "mount -o remount,rw /system
Am I missing a step that is causing an error? Do I need to use Loki Bootloader bypass first?
Occupying space for updates and hopeful solution for other mac users.
UPDATES:
Some more tinkering shows that SU cannot be found in /system/bin/sh —*Am I safe to push su to this location? Will this aid in achieving root?
SOLUTION: post #18
Hello,
For some reason all of my sensors are gone. See attachment.
Due to some problems i've formatted my "persist" partition. And from what i read, that partition contains all sorts of sensor parameters. So i guess i shouldn't have.
I've checked all files on the forum and original OTA's from oneplus. None of them have (working) partition for me.
Therefor i would like to ask someone with an A2003 device who has working sensors and is running OOS 3.02 or CM13 to perform the following actions and share the file with me:
(root (adb and apps) needed)
Code:
adb shell
su
su
cd /sdcard
dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/persist persist.dd.img
exit
exit
And share the file "persist.dd.img" with me. It's on your sdcard.
Thanks very much in advance!

I uploaded it to AFH a while back - it's the stock persist.img from the OnePlus 2.2.0 Qualcomm Recovery Package. AFAIK, it's not been updated since then.

Hi,
Yeah, google found it for me. But sadly, it didn't work for me.
I've tryed installing it
- trough fastboot (fastboot flash persist persist.img) and also
- dd'ing it and also
- creating a flashable zip package_extract_file("persist.img", "/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/persist");
but none of it worked.. so i was kinda hoping for a newer version.
btw..
Code:
mount | grep persist
shows that the persist partition is mounted RW.
if someone could do the following:
Code:
adb shell
su
su
cd /sdcard
mkdir persist
cd persist
rsync -av /persist .
exit
exit
then zip the content of the folder persist on your sdcard.. would like to try that too.

At least it seems to contain more data, but i can't seem to get it fully working.
Could you perhaps do the following from TWRP:
advanced -> terminal
then type
Code:
cd /sdcard
dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/persist of=persist.dd.img
exit
Then from android, grab the persist.dd.img and share it with me?

Thanks A LOT.
SENSORS WORK...
but hold your horses.. Couple of things i find right away..
First boot: it doesn't recognize SIM cards anymore.. Second boot, they are recognized.
Then: when i switch to MTP (file transfer), phone reboots.
So have to see whether it's all stable or not.
Delete the attachment for now.. i'll work on it a couple of days and let you know.
Again, thanks a lot!!
Proof:
Ok, at this point i'm not sure what is related and what is not anymore.
One thing i know for sure: simply copying the persist partition from one phone to another IS working, however the partitions holds some device- (like mac addresses) and maybe even some user-specific information. So it would not be right to start sharing that in the wild.
But while experimenting with the data, i found myself in a pretty f*cked up situation where there was no booting OS anymore and the Oneplus told me the bootloader was unlocked but refused to flash files trough fastboot anymore. Basically a dead phone.
Thank god i created a nandroid (full TWRP) backup and copied it to my laptop.
Long story short: i needed to perform a full repair of my phone and started looking for brick-guides.
The following worked for me AND magically repaired my persist partition too.
Steps to take:
- perform a full TWRP backup of your phone and copy it to your computer (don't keep it ON the phone!)
- also backup everything on your internal memory (sdcard) that is worth keeping. This process will also wipe your internal memory.
- Download the files from this guide. I've used method 3. The others may work. 3 worked for me.
- shutdown your phone
- press volume up and then connect the usb cable. Only volume up!
- the phone won't really power on, but your computer will detect a device. Use the driver you downloaded from the page above.
- When the driver is installed, start the MSM8994DownloadTool.exe as administrator (right click: run as administrator!)
- It's chinese or some language i can't uderstand. But just hit the start button. Some green text will show the progress.
- In the end, your phone will ask you if it's OK to wipe all user data. I did.
- And then it boots to Oxygen OS.
From this point on it's back to normal business
- flash custom recovery trough fastboot
- copy your TWRP backup back to the phone
- restore the backup
- Oh and don't forget: all your firmwares are OLD now. So in order to run CM13 or some other marshmellow rom, you also need to flash that "Switch_tOS3_H2OSMMv3.zip" like you did before!
- restore any other data to your internal memory (sdcard)
There ya go. Fully working system with sensors and all
Good luck!
So after you did the Qualcomm recovery does cpuz still show the sensors as uncalibrated like the screenshot in post 17. I have some issues with my screen rotation as randomly it was not switch to landscape. My cpuz shows gyroscope calibrated and uncalibrated, any way to calibrate gyroscope without that Qualcomm recovery? I had to go through that process in March.

It still says so yes. Even now, after more than a month.
However, everything still works fantastic. No issues whatshowever.
My phone has not been able to receive calls because the default APN settings from LOS are just wrong. I updated the file (/system/product/etc/apns-conf.xml) in recovery, but after a reboot, the file is back to what it was before I changed it.
I am using LOS recovery if that helps. How do I change that one file to have it persist across reboots?
Thanks
Problem solved!
Had to mount the "/" partition to be writable using the command:
Bash:
adb shell su -c 'mount -o remount,rw /'
Then after making changes, I first pushed the file to internal storage:
Bash:
adb push ./apns-conf.xml /sdcard/Documents/apns-conf.xml
Then finally I copied it to the proper location:
Bash:
adb shell su -c 'cp sdcard/Documents/file.xml /system/product/etc/apns-conf.xml'
Hope that helps someone
Hi all,
I tried to identify partitions on the device (userdata, vendor, system, etc.)
Device: Oneplus2 (unrooted).
After
Code:
adb shell
ls -l /dev/block/by-name
It returns
Code:
/dev/block/by-name: Permission denied
I also tried
Code:
ls -l /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/
The same result followed.
So
1. How to solve this "permission denied" problem?
2. Would it nevertheless be possible identify partitions on an unrooted device?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Wen
