Hey there,
hopefully somebody can help me out here.
I tried to execute an .sh script which executes some adb commands. (kill-server / start-server). I sadly only get an "adb: not found" response.
Yes, ADP WIFI is enabled in Developer Settings. I also disabled and enabled and tried again. i also tried to execute adb command from "Android Terminal Emulator" App. That didnt work eighter. i am running 5.2.1.0 build. What am i doing wrong here?
You most likely need to put adb back onto the device. see here
*** New Tool Added: 04-06-2017 ***​Warning: 'extremely powerful and dangerous tool'
This tool is designed to execute commands as root + system_server && install_recovery. While this example shows how to disable packages please be aware that a typo will be executed on the system as a command.
General Notice:
This package disabler is Android 6.01 64 bit and it isn't Samsung specific.
This tool is currently limited to only two contexts and therefore may not currently be able to disable "some??" packages.. Please let me know if that is true and I will attempt to find the correct context to disable the problem package.
Please note
This tool is part of a root kit I'm designing but since it's purpose was never a package disabler it isn't likely to receive updates. If you have an issue and you're waiting for a correction it's gonna be some wait unless you pm me. (i'm trying to learn forums, best thing to do is PM me to make me aware of your post here)
Information Updates:
You can disable every AT&T app on the device for a net gain on battery performance for your device. But if you disable some of the security logging and Android proper packages you will start seeing a net loss on batter performance. I was at < 1% over night before I got crazy.. Now I'm back to 6% battery lost in 6 to 8 hours of screen off time.
(obviously a tool that can disable a package can enable it also so keep careful track of your cmd_list.txt files)
Instructions
Don't brick your phone... just kidding see in depth instructions on my github
sources, no binaries
April 12 2017 sources have been majorly overhauled, binaries are beta beta.. however, package disabling power not increased
--Android 5.11 r2 64-bit binary toolbox and applypatch 'till' now added. ubuntu + ndk needed to make run5
https://github.com/droidvoider/CVE-2016-5195_GreyhatRootProject_Root_Console
BINARIES - NO SOURCES -instructions for disabling packages are in the zips
Linux
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B-fnF5v-xg6OYmdreVNJOGlLWUE
Windows (i didn't test that batch file.. edit the batch file it's just a "batch" of commands)
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B-fnF5v-xg6OYmdreVNJOGlLWUE
Scope:
dirtycow 5195 is patched November 2016.. If you are running Android 6.01 you may be able to flash the October 2016 kernel to your phone to bypass the patch
1. First make sure you have the AP file from your firmware.. (specifically boot.img and recovery.img which are included in the AP file)
2. Backup your device.
3. Use Odin to flash PJ1 boot.img / recovery.img to your phone
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B-fnF5v-xg6OR1VWRTItWFVOTVE
4. Constantly check your phone, if it is getting hot or losing a lot of battery fast you need to stop... restore it and forget this
5. as long as it's all good see the instructions included with the tool
OLD PROCESS BELOW
************************************************************ UPDATE: 02/21/2017 ************************************************************************
This exploit is powerful and from what I can tell you don't need to use adb at all to make it work. Create an archive of the app with your tool, I listed what I used below. Install from archive. "app crashes". There are 3 updaters that I kill: com.sec.fwservice + com.sec.android.soagent + com.ws.dm. Any apps I can disable in App Manger I disable normally instead. For example if you begin disabling Google play it will allow you to fully disable it. This was the biggest thing that made my batter life better. You can use the adb commands, script and etc also if you want to do anything and everything to avoid additional updates. Hopefully I'm right because I am done with updating.
**** Warning **** Disabling the wrong thing this way can cause the phone to crash so hard you need to flash firmware to restore it. Make sure you have backed up and that you have your firmware ready. Also be warned that in my experience devices can suddenly crash & need repair from doing this type of stuff!!
tESted on firmware N920AUCS4CPK1 Android 6.01 w/Nov. Sec. Patch
Overview of the process
Our goal is to completely remove most AT&T from the application manager list and have AT&T software show up as a regular app, not a hidden system app. I am unsure if we need to have a fresh flash and how far you need to go in order to achieve our intended goal. I am fairly confident we need only change system settings to off for AT&T + Knox that and then fire this script. If that is not enough please see page two. I would very much appreciate feedback so I can edit this.
===> REMINDER <===
Backup all your contacts, text messages, downloaded files and also individually back any apps there are important to you. Also have a look at your /sdcard/ to see what's there. Do a full backup on the entire phone just in case you forgot anything.
*** Prepare to have to flash/wipe data to get this to work as I've only truly tested this after a recent flash personally!!! ***
This walk through utilizes the following technologies you will need to Google
You need the platform-tools from Android Studio SDK it comes with adb. (You can probably google platform-tools directory and download it)
(path environment needs to be set in the script or just fully qualify the location of adb which is what I do) <change to match your path>
I assume you understand how to download a file, open command prompt, cd to the directory it's download to and edit the path to your platform-tools inside the batch file
I also assume you can figure out the Samsung USB driver for Windows and test that you can adb shell to your device.
I assume you can get into Download mode and flash your firmware with Odin / Windows using a usb cable.
Steps to brick your perfectly good working AT&T Note 5 phone
Denial of permission and general rearrangement of system apps Version .0008 beta
Fresh after a flash please block the signal on your phone if possible. I always block signal!!!
1.) Turn on developer options then confirm that you have OEM unlock on(like it matters), USB Debugging On and default Verify Apps via USB remains off
2) Kill all AT&T running processes DEVELOPER OPTIONS | RUNNING SERVICES (get Smart Limits, Protect app, ATT yahoo mail, anything ATT)
every opportunity)
2A) Package disabler is awesome leave it running if you have it we don't need anything special for adb, besides adb.
3) Plug your phone into your PC via usb and get it connected.. (adb devices "unauthorized means you didn't say ok on phone in time unplug/replug try again")
3a) adb shell should log you into the phone and exit should get you back out (we don't want to be in the shell just testing the connection)
4.)Turn off "can make system changes" for AT&T apps. Application Manger | More | Change System Settings | More | Show System Apps -- Turn off anything AT&T (I also kill anything I can knox, samsung)
5) Fire this script on your phone (obviously you will have it connected to your pc, allowed the connection on your phone screen)
Basic commands I'm using, I prioritize com.ws.dm and then I run the commands on the rest of AT&T:
<This small snippet is a linux bash shell while the attached script is a Windows example>
#NOTE TO LINUX USERS: take the rest of the script from the windows batch and convert it to bash
#!/bin/bash
/opt/Android/Sdk/platform-tools/adb devices
/opt/Android/Sdk/platform-tools/adb wait-for-device
/opt/Android/Sdk/platform-tools/adb shell am kill-all
/opt/Android/Sdk/platform-tools/adb shell pm clear com.ws.dm
/opt/Android/Sdk/platform-tools/adb shell pm reset-permissions com.ws.dm
/opt/Android/Sdk/platform-tools/adb shell am set-inactive com.ws.dm true
/opt/Android/Sdk/platform-tools/adb shell pm revoke com.ws.dm android.permission.CHANGE_CONFIGURATION
/opt/Android/Sdk/platform-tools/adb shell pm revoke com.ws.dm android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
/opt/Android/Sdk/platform-tools/adb shell pm revoke com.ws.dm android.permission.BATTERY_STATS
/opt/Android/Sdk/platform-tools/adb shell pm revoke com.ws.dm android.permission.INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS
/opt/Android/Sdk/platform-tools/adb shell pm revoke com.ws.dm android.permission.SET_PROCESS_LIMIT
/opt/Android/Sdk/platform-tools/adb shell am kill-all
/opt/Android/Sdk/platform-tools/adb shell am kill com.ws.dm
/opt/Android/Sdk/platform-tools/adb shell pm clear com.ws.dm
Note: I always did this right after a flash so I'm hoping that's not necessary
(I know I misused reset-permissions but it accepts it, laugh)
In the attached photo notice that I can "Show" system apps but AT&T Software Update is already shown (i.e. not a system app) For me I have no other att apps even if I show system apps!, they're installed tho)

Overview of the process
We are going to do a various pronged assault using App Archiving / Restoring with a Google Play app as well as attacking a select set of permissions as well as clearing app data through adb using a batch or shell script from your computer. In some case I am able to also install the apk using adb shell pm install -rts which tags it as a test package. But I'm unclear how I achieved that so this is a work in progress.
(For the install -rts trick this is only after freshly flashing so it's been a little hard to remember to test it. Let me know if you stuble upon the process order again)

5) Backup/Restore the AT&T apps from a "backup tool", I used System App 2 let us know if others work "or excel".
Use an app archive tool such as System Panel 2 | apps | Archive to archive the AT&T apps then install them from that archive. You can do this to any you see!
(don't uninstall the app but feel free to install it repeatedly. e.g. install = uninstall as system app but uninstall = reinstall as system app
5 a) --- if doing step 8 you need a the com.ws.dm.apk copied to your computer so you can fire the install -rts on it
6) Repeat step 4
7) Fire the script from the first post on your phone (obviously you will have it connected to your pc, allowed the connection on your phone screen)
Basic commands I'm using, I prioritize com.ws.dm and then I run the commands on the rest of AT&T: (While it's running install/uninstall with the archive tool)
<This small snippet is a linux bash shell while the attached script is a Windows example
#NOTE TO LINUX USERS: take the rest of the script from the windows batch i think if you use linux you don't need step by step
#!/bin/bash

/opt/Android/Sdk/platform-tools/adb shell am kill-all
/opt/Android/Sdk/platform-tools/adb shell am kill com.ws.dm
/opt/Android/Sdk/platform-tools/adb shell pm clear com.ws.dm
Note: I always did this right after a flash so I'm hoping that's not necessary
(I know I misused reset-permissions but it accepts it and I like it that way. Don't end process through your app archive tool it wakes up com.ws.dm)
Steps that may not work quite yet:
Note) I need to add to the how to for this to not say Invalid_URI bla bla but the way I do it is by flashing an invalid modem file, that's not acceptable since I don't think it's necessary yet:
8) issue the command adb shell pm install -rts com.ws.dm.apk.
8 a) refire the above snippet that is just an example for linux it is my knock out punch for after, but this step should fail if you make it work let me know please

It's reversible if you didn't realize this (tested in PK1 by me and one other). If you used the subtle approach just go into your backup app then uninstall. Only the extra installation is removed then the app will heal itself. If you used harsh method adb shell pm uninstall com.ws.dm = att updater. (do for all apps you miss dearly)
Package Disabler not working? OOPS, KLMSAgent is necessary use the above method to reverse our actions on com.samsung.klmsagent
Attached photos show that the AT&T Software updater is gone. I achieved that with a harsher script if I am going to release this method I want a more assured way then wrong modem file and 8 windows open at once.
I have to ask, if you see a snippet representing an efuse in the code, why not remove it and all references to it? If possible to do so, you'd be the first to crack an AT&T (and this would likely work for Verizon as well) GN5?
Edit - Also, the January sec. patch is beginning to roll out to users. I just got it today and I am usually behind most.
Update 02/21/2017 regarding efuse. I'v studied the binaries and processes hard and it is my belief the efuse will never trip if you aren't altering files on the system. We aren't doing that here and after weeks of testing my bit is still 0x0

Click to expand...

It's in the bootloader and they are friggin smart programmers and I am not that smart, yet. Probably ever.
I know you guys are on later firmware than me by now but I had to get off the marry go round at PK1. I had listed a work around to taking updates in Novemember but it was iffy at best. This is the first almost safe way I found, and now it's too late. That's the problem with the Note 5 we can't get back to a common point so we can all work toward freedom together.
edit: removed idea about flashing cm.bin, it's almost killing download mode.. we need to swim away little fishes
There is a new tool for disabling apps I posted on the first post
Hello, can I kindly ask for link to stock gallery3d apk 'cause after debloating by uninstall command in adb I removed it. I don't wanna do factory reset. Reinstalling command is not working but it's obvious since it is not disabled.
I did it myself. For everyone who don't know how to reinstall app after uninstalling it with adb.
Go to adb again. Type adb shell after that you need to enable deleted package typing pm enable com.coloros.gallery3d after that you need to install package typing package install-existing com.coloros.gallery3d (or pm install-existing com.coloros.gallery3d - I forgot what exactly I type). After that everything is working.
Were you able to uninstall game center and app market safely?
I debloated several apps of my Samsung S22+ and Dex was one of them. I did it with adb command. Now, I want to install Dex again but can't do it. Is there any solution to this problem?
You need to re-enable it with another adb command.
adb shell cmd package install-existing <name of package>
Just do factory rest of the phone or download official firmware
I have Galaxy S22 Ultra un-rooted.
I installed Sgallery app and I enable device admin via ADB in order to use some fuctions like "App Hide".
adb command : adb shell dpm set-device-owner com.hld.anzenbokusu/.receiver.DPMReceiver
How can I reset the device-owner to default so I can uninstall Sgallery?
I need help.
what's the adb command to remove "com.hld.anzenbokusu/.receiver.DPMReceiver" as device-owner?
anyone kind enough to HELP.
It is very time consuming to flash stock firmware and setup all apps all over again.
