How to Install ADB (Android SDK Platform-Tools)
- Open Android Studio -> SDK Manager -> Android SDK -> SDK Tools -> Check on Android SDK Platform-Tools -> Apply
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
oradb shell pm remove-user 10
- and remove all user higher than 0 i.e.
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.
- but you can start Magisk from Terminal via
- ADB Connection is very buggy,
adb kill-server
is necessary quite often
