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

   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

APPLE SILICON(M1) MONTEREY ROOT ERROR

OS: macOS Monterey 12.0.1 arm64
CPU: Apple M1

When I run the program, I get the following error. Even though I tried version 30 and 31, I get the same error. How can I solve this problem?
After downloading the apk version of Magisk from its site, should I install it in the APP folder?
https://magiskmanager.com/downloading-magisk-manager/

Can you help with this?

rootAVD.bat does not install apps

rootAVD.bat C:\Android\system-images\android-33\google_apis\x86_64\ramdisk.img does not perform any visible change to the system

abd has been added to the PATH, the AVD is open and connected, adb shell works perfectly fine

Here is the output from attempting rootAVD.bat C:\Android\system-images\android-33\google_apis\x86_64\ramdisk.img :

This is the same output that occurs when providing the script with a ramdisk.img file

stuck at "Trying to install APPs/*" phase

macOS Big Sur 11.6.1, when executing all command lines in README.md, I'm stuck at "Trying to install APPs/*"

Specifically, this happends when executing command ./rootAVD.sh InstallApps.

Windows "unzip" command does not exist

On my first run through, trying to execute the batch file failed because the "unzip" command isn't native to Windows 10. If you want to make a requirement of Windows 10 build 17063 or later, you can use:

	md %ROOTAVD%\Magisk
tar -xf magisk.zip --directory %ROOTAVD%\Magisk

Otherwise you should add a requirement for getting some kind of "unzip" command first. I didn't submit this as a change b/c it will depend on your desire for how to handle prerequisites.

Black Screen after successful run

First need to say that I checked similar issues and it did not help

I am using Mac M1 and I tried to run the script with 2 different API 30 and 33, same results, after my emulator and adb closed due reloading I can't get into it, I see only a black screen and after 300 second it shot down

I tried to use restore argument did not help

Help please :)

Ask me any questions if needed, here is some screenshots of my last run with API 33 (Actually here i tried to run the script twice just in case maybe it will help)

Script problem with Split APK's

The script seems to hang indefinitely when split APK's are brought into the equation. Any ideas to get around this?

• I am using the following command: sudo ./rootAVD.sh ~/Library/Android/sdk/system-images/android-33/google_apis/arm64-v8a/ramdisk.img
• I am also on Mac OS
• The message that it is hanging on is "Trying to install Apps/split_config.arm64.apk"
• The base APK is able to be transferred but not any of the APK's
• I removed the split APK's from /App and the base APK was transferred. But, the moment I placed them back, the script would hang again

find: unknown predicate `-s'

It seems that starting from commit 374cd5d, the script is unable to automatically detect the ramdisk.img in ANDROID_SDK_ROOT (only occurs on Linux). Based on this manpage, the -s switch in find doesn't exist on Linux. This switch seems to be specific to BSD-like OSes (macOS).

line 1155:

After I run the root command nothing happens

After I try to run the root command it goes to the test adb shell return and then doesn't say anything after that, any ideas on how to fix?

does installing this ramkdisk.img allow us to call "su" runtime on Android?

I follow the instructions exactly the same, and I was able to get everything right correctly.

The proof is that when I run su inside adb shell I see the $ changes to # and see the toast on Android Emulator saying the rights have been granted:

However, when I run the following piece of code in Java,

try {
    Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("su");
    DataOutputStream dos = new DataOutputStream(p.getOutputStream());
    dos.writeBytes("mkdir /sdcard/testdir\n");
    dos.writeBytes("exit\n");
    dos.flush();
    dos.close();
    p.waitFor();

} catch (IOException | InterruptedException e) {
    Log.d("MyNotificationListenerService", "Error 1");
    e.printStackTrace();
}

While I do not get any error, I do not see the testdir created. I do not even see the toast message. Basically, everything's bypassed with no error thrown. While this co

The emulator used:

Note it uses Google Play Store, not Google Play API.

I am not sure if this is possible in the first place, I see lots of mixed results, some people saying they got it, some people saying they didn't.

I would appreciate any help to get me out of this sick rabbithole!

Magisk Alpha not installing properly

Hi,

it looks like the latest 3 releases of Magisk Alpha (44643ad7, 68874bf5, 555a54ec) are not installing properly on the official Android emulators (API 30/31/32). I only got 25201 to install properly, but then even the "Direct Install" method is failing to update to a newer version.

Even though the logs below show a successful execution, the Alpha application is installed, but the root is not present on the device.

Is it a known issue? What would it be the way to proceed to attempt a fix?

The execution log is the following:

separate dependencies

magisk and busybox should be downloaded locally and then pushed to avd.
in case of busybox, one can check the checksum and confirm the authenticity, rather than obfuscating busybox in the code. as an extra advantage, you make sure latest busybox is being used

For example:

download_dep.sh

#!/bin/sh

# DOWNLOAD MAGISK
username="topjohnwu"
repo="Magisk"

# latest stable
# magisk_URL=$(curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/$username/$repo/releases/latest | grep "browser_download_url" | grep -v stub | awk -F ['"'] '{print $4}')

# canary more compatible
magisk_URL="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/topjohnwu/magisk-files/canary/app-debug.apk"

echo "$magisk_URL"

curl -L -o magisk.apk "$magisk_URL"

# DOWNLOAD BUSYBOX

username="Magisk-Modules-Repo"
repo="busybox-ndk"

busybox_URL="https://github.com/$username/$repo/raw/master/busybox-x86_64-selinux"

curl -L -o busybox "$busybox_URL"

How to enter safe mode when boot fails

Hmmm, in fact I have successfully entered safe mode (so that all magisk modules got disabled), by pressing volume down button.

However it seemed to be more tricky than expected. I tried pressing the volume down button since the emulator started, however sometimes it didn't enter safe mode. I then tried to repeat "releasing & immediately pressing down the button" every few seconds, it then seemed to work, however I still don't know the details.

Magisk installed but not Rooted

Hi,
I have an issue when use it to root my AVD Google API Playstore on Android 28 x86.
(This is my avd config.ini)
config.txt

This script success and Magisk installed on my AVD, but still not rooted.


Any solutions ?
I still need the Google Play Store to download the apps from there.
if I use AVD with Google API there is no Google Play Store on there.

Thanks in advance.

Is this normal behaviour?

I also noticed the SKD Folder links are wrong, at least in the readme. For me with newest Android Studio & Win10 it´s in \AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\system-images\android-29\ google_apis \x86 and not in \google_apis_playstore\ .

Magisk v25.1

Latest release https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/latest is Magisk v25.1
Update from existing Magisk.zip (v24.1)

Android TV

Did anybody try this with an Android TV image in the emulator?

I tried on Windows 11 with the default Android TV - 1080p base device from the device manager.
It has these settings:

• processor: x86
• OS: Android 12.0 - API31

adb shell just opens once, but quits on later tries.

After starting the emulator, the rootAVD ListAllAVDs returns only the default options and does not seem to detect the emulator.

AVD Root question

Can this be used to root "Google Play" System Images (With Play store installed in it)?

Hi there

I like the work you have done here, thanks very much!
I use a Mac BookPro M1 (Silicon) and therefore the previous version of Android Emulator with a arm64-image. If I run it like this...
./rootAVD.sh /Users/x/Library/Android/sdk/system-images/android-31/google_apis/arm64-v8a/ramdisk.img

... i get this error message.

Hello, I'm trying to root API 29 x86_64 AVD. Magisk app gets installed, but there is no root access. After rebooting the AVD for the first time there was a "Magisk needs to restart your device", but it didn't matter did I click Yes or No, the root disappeared right after.

Is there supposed to be any APKs in the apps directory?

Add support for A12 under Linux

I really need to test something with root on a virtual device without Google Services, but currently there is no version of Android 13 that has absolutely no Google APIs etc. So is it possible to add support for rooting Android 12 under Linux?

Env no longer constructed

Hello!

Magisk is no longer allowing to construct env, as it tries to update instead and fails, and FixEnvTask does nothing.

how to activate safetynet?

Hello how are you? I hope you're well. First I would like to apologize for the confusion created yesterday in my topic. It's the first time I'm dealing with rooted and right away it was by emulator. Secondly, I would like to thank you for the tutorial and your patience.
Today I really DISCOVERED what I need.

Can you help me?

I need to pass safetynet checks to access banking apps through android emulator. However, I've tried every possible way with safetynet kdragon, prompconfs and everything else. I've watched all the tutorials available on youtube possible, but the problem is that these tutorials only show how to do this through a real cell phone and not through an emulator. Would you help me?

Syntax error in rootAVD.sh

When I attempt to run the batch file on Windows (after fixing the unzip issue), I get the following error:

"[-] Pushing all the stuff into the ADB working DIR"
C:\Android\rootAVD\Magisk: 20 files pushed, 0 skipped. 170.8 MB/s (11756017 bytes in 0.066s)

'data/data/com.android.shell/Magisk/rootAVD.sh[22]: syntax error: unexpected 'in
"[-] After the ramdisk.img file is patched and back gz'ed,"

That line references the loop in getdir(). Removing that function temporarily uncovers a similar "syntax error" complaint for the "do" in installapps(). Removing that function temporarily runs into a problem with the "do" on line 265 of the original script (in InstallMagiskToAVD(), which I can't exactly remove to test further).

When I check the emulator. There is a Magisk app, but no Zygisk option. Also somehow I don't need to use the 'export path' command.
If I click on install Magisk there is only one option 'select and patch a file'. Please help.
