rootAVD Help Menu

rootAVD A Script to root AVD by NewBit XDA

Usage:  rootAVD [DIR/ramdisk.img] [OPTIONS] | [EXTRA ARGUMENTS]
or:     rootAVD [ARGUMENTS]

Arguments:
        ListAllAVDs                     Lists Command Examples for ALL installed AVDs

        InstallApps                     Just install all APKs placed in the Apps folder

Main operation mode:
        DIR                             a path to an AVD system-image
                                        - must always be the 1st Argument after rootAVD

ADB Path | Ramdisk DIR| ANDROID_HOME:
        [M]ac/Darwin:                   export PATH=~/Library/Android/sdk/platform-tools:$PATH
                                        export PATH=$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools:$PATH
                                        system-images/android-$API/google_apis_playstore/x86_64/

        [L]inux:                        export PATH=~/Android/Sdk/platform-tools:$PATH
                                        export PATH=$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools:$PATH
                                        system-images/android-$API/google_apis_playstore/x86_64/

        [W]indows:                      set PATH=%LOCALAPPDATA%\Android\Sdk\platform-tools;%PATH%
                                        system-images\android-$API\google_apis_playstore\x86_64\

        ANDROID_HOME:                   By default, the script uses %LOCALAPPDATA%, to set its Android Home
                                        directory, search for AVD system-images and ADB binarys. This behaviour
                                        can be overwritten by setting the ANDROID_HOME variable.
                                        e.g. set ANDROID_HOME=%USERPROFILE%\Downloads\sdk

        $API:                           25,29,30,31,32,33,34,UpsideDownCake,etc.

Options:
        restore                         restore all existing .backup files, but doesn't delete them
                                        - the AVD doesn't need to be running
                                        - no other Argument after will be processed

        InstallKernelModules            install custom build kernel and its modules into ramdisk.img
                                        - kernel (bzImage) and its modules (initramfs.img) are inside rootAVD
                                        - both files will be deleted after installation

        InstallPrebuiltKernelModules    download and install an AOSP prebuilt kernel and its modules into ramdisk.img
                                        - similar to InstallKernelModules, but the AVD needs to be online

Options are exclusive, only one at the time will be processed.

Extra Arguments:
        DEBUG                           Debugging Mode, prevents rootAVD to pull back any patched file

        PATCHFSTAB                      fstab.ranchu will get patched to automount Block Devices like /dev/block/sda1
                                        - other entries can be added in the script as well
                                        - a custom build Kernel might be necessary

        GetUSBHPmodZ                    The USB HOST Permissions Module Zip will be downloaded into /sdcard/Download

        FAKEBOOTIMG                     Creates a fake Boot.img file that can directly be patched from the Magisk APP
                                        - Magisk will be launched to patch the fake Boot.img within 60s
                                        - the fake Boot.img will be placed under /sdcard/Download/fakeboot.img

Extra Arguments can be combined, there is no particular order.

Notes: rootAVD will
- always create .backup files of ramdisk*.img and kernel-ranchu
- replace both when done patching
- show a Menu, to choose the Magisk Version (Stable || Canary || Alpha), if the AVD is online
- make the choosen Magisk Version to its local
- install all APKs placed in the Apps folder
- use %LOCALAPPDATA%\Android\Sdk to search for AVD system images

Notes

64 Bit Only Systems needs Magisk 23.x
In the Menu, you can choose between the newest Magisk, Canary, Stable and Alpha, Version.
With the new Option s, you can see and download any other Versions of Magisk
Once choosen, the script will make that Version to your local one.
Prebuilt Kernel and Modules will be pulled from AOSP
Starting Magisk from Terminal via adb shell monkey -p com.topjohnwu.magisk -c android.intent.category.LAUNCHER 1
API 28 (Pie) is not supported at all -> because
Magisk Versions >= 26.x can only be proper installed with the FAKEBOOTIMG argument
- due to the New sepolicy.rule Implementation
Android 14 needs Magisk Version >= 26.x to be rooted

ANDROID_HOME

Default location can be overwritten by setting the ANDROID_HOME variable
In both cases, the script will search in it for AVD system-images and adb binarys
ANDROID_HOME Sets the path to the SDK installation directory -> AOSP Variables reference

Notes for Apk Developers

How-To SU from Chainfire's libsuperuser - Guidelines for problem-free su usage (for Android Developers)
TopJohnWu's libsu - An Android library providing a complete solution for apps using root permissions

Fake Boot.img Function

During runtime, the script will launch the Magisk APK so that you can patch the fake Boot.img within 60s
The script also detects if there is already a patched Boot.img present
This feature lets you also update and switch between Magisk Versions
- Updating a patched ramdisk will delete the overlay.d folder, all mods are gone!
If Magisk can't open a file manager, i.e. on Automotive AVDs,
- download and install the famous X-plore file manager
The script switches to user 0, so that you can see /sdcard/Download/fakeboot.img

2 Ways to boot the AVD into Safe Mode

1st Way - If the AVD still boots normal:
- Tap and Hold the Power Button until the 3 Options appear
- Tap and Hold the Power Off Button until Reboot to safe mode appears
2nd Way - If the AVD stuck while booting (black screen):
- Tap and Hold the Volume Down Button
- The Time Window is between the Launching Emulator Bar is approx half way until the Google Boot Screen appears
Confirmation
- On the Bottom Left Corner reads: Safe mode

Automotive Notes

After patching the ramdisk.img and cycle power, switch to user 0 via adb shell am switch-user 0
- open the Magisk App and the Requires Additional Setup pops up -> reboot AVD
- switch again to user 0
  - open the Magisk App -> Settings -> Multiuser Mode -> User-Independent -> reboot AVD
Every time you want to Grant Su Permissions, switch to user 0 and then back to 10 adb shell am switch-user 10
Alternative, you can install the Module Magisk Single User Mod
- and remove all user higher than 0 i.e. adb shell pm remove-user 13 or adb shell pm remove-user 10

BlueStacks 4 Notes on MacOs

Modules are working
Zygisk doesn't work
The Home Screen Apk closes as soon as Magisk APP is installed
- but you can start Magisk from Terminal via adb shell monkey -p com.topjohnwu.magisk -c android.intent.category.LAUNCHER 1
- and Hide the Magisk APP to Settings i.e.
ADB Connection is very buggy, adb kill-server is necessary quite often

How to root AVDs without Play Store (Google APIs) out of the box

Windows

open a terminal -> win + r cmd

add emulator to your PATH
find your AVD
launch your AVD with the -writable-system argument

set PATH=%LOCALAPPDATA%\Android\Sdk\emulator;%PATH%
emulator -list-avds
	Pixel_4_API_29
emulator -avd Pixel_4_API_29 -writable-system

open a 2nd terminal -> win + r cmd

enter the following commands one by one

set PATH=%LOCALAPPDATA%\Android\Sdk\platform-tools;%PATH%
adb root
adb shell avbctl disable-verification
adb disable-verity
adb reboot
adb root
adb remount
adb shell
