J's Android Device Database

ImjTool is very handy for working with firmware images

About

The Android Device Database aims to capture shell command output from representative Android devices, so that researchers will be able to get an idea of device and vendor idiosyncrasies even if they don't have the actual device for testing. The idea is to run a few common commands and a few tools of mine, capturing the output. This will take 2-3 minutes if you have a device, and will benefit many others who don't. I will add the firmware images so as to help static analysis.

This is a work in progress. Check Pixel 4 or Fire HD 10 for a sample

• Tip: Use fastboot boot ...img rather than fastboot flash.... if you want to be able to go back to a non-rooted config at will, after reboot - note that fastboot might need to be run as root
• Request: If you have a rooted image that isn't here, please contribute!

Get adb shell to a (preferably rooted) device with a chipset not listed here, and run the following commands:

• cat /proc/cpuinfo: To get the CPU architecture and details
• cat /proc/version: To get the running kernel version
• cat /proc/partitions: To get the partition map (might need root)
• mount and df: To get the mounted partitions stats
• ls -l /dev: To get a list of all device nodes (useful for determining standard Linux, AOSP and vendor/BSP additions)
• ls -l /dev/block/platform/*/*/by-name: To get the partition names (might require root. As of Android 10, /dev/block/by-name can be used)
• dumpsys: For a dump of all services
• getprop: To get all the properties set on the device
• getevent: To get a list of input devices (after which you can press CTRL-C)
• service list: To get a list of all binder services
• ps -Zefw: To get a list of all processes and kernel threads on your device (w = boundless width)
• ls -l /sys/module: To get a list of all modules, compiled in or loaded. lsmod would also be appreciated if you have loaded modules.
• lshal - to list HW HALs
• Rooted devices only - this is the most helpful - get my bindump tool And run bindump users all and bindump vndbinder users all.
• Rooted only - jpt .... list to dump the GPT partition table
• Rooted only - lsof - this really helps
• Rooted only - ls -lR / root (otherwise all the good stuff is denied..). This will be a huge file of O(60M), so please gzip before submitting.

The easiest way to get all this output is by running "script" on your MacOS or Linux host before "adb". this logs everything you do (until you type "exit") into a file called "typescript" - which is what I need. Thank you!

If your device identifies as a known chipset listed here, it probably doesn't make sense to list it here unless the outputs of the above commands greatly differ (e.g. service list) or are from some esoteric brand.

If you can help, feel free to email me - ddb@... And I thank you in advance.
