This is an old revision of the document!


Spawn a usable root shell on your Android, without su, using "ADB as Root" developer option and Termux with openssl

First, we need to have Termux installed and the “Run ADB as Root” developer option enabled on your Android “Developer Options”. Make sure you have that option, otherwise you won't be able to use this method of root shell executing.

Install Termux dependencies

pkg update
pkg install openssl

Generate a random key for your openssl reverse shell setup

openssl rand -hex 48
# we will use "9c951d7c50b2480d19f0e538ca8da1efd8639d87846cf054478fa8bf472c9b9f3c62d6ee69e2aa6b5afdefb771ba041e" as an example but it is recommended to use your own key

Save this scripts in your Termux home and give them execution permissions (chmod +x)

"shserver"
export LHOST="*"
export LPORT="4242"
export PSK="9c951d7c50b2480d19f0e538ca8da1efd8639d87846cf054478fa8bf472c9b9f3c62d6ee69e2aa6b5afdefb771ba041e"

export PIPE="/data/cache/tmp/`/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/openssl rand -hex 4`"
mkfifo $PIPE; /bin/sh -i < $PIPE 2>&1 | \

Once you run `adb shell` on your Android, from any other device connected by usb to it, make sure you are root, otherwise you might need to run `adb root` first, but sometimes you only need to enable the “ADB as Root” option in developer options.
