Can I run my binary executable file or script bash file on a non-rooted device?
I have a small script like this:
#helloworld.sh
echo "hello world"
I saved it in /sdcard
and try to run, but i got "Permission denied". I have researched, the reason is Execute permissions on the SDCard
is blocked.
Is it possible to run? How can I do that without SU
command? I think it is very helpful if somehow can execute any script file.
On non-rooted device you can run a script on SDcard
with sh
command:
adb shell sh path_to_script_on_sdcard/script.sh
Oh, I can run my script without SU permission, just use sh command:
$ cd /sdcard
$ sh helloworld.sh
hello world
I think we cannot do the same with a binary executable file.
For a shell script you can setup Termux or Terminal Emulator in your phone, enable Storage permission for it, launch it and than run the script like this:
sh PATH_TO_FILE
Replace PATH with the path of file under /sdcard. It should work.
To run a compatible binary, move the file from sdcard into Termux's home using:
mv PATH_TO_FILE $HOME
Then verify and enable, using chmod +x $HOME/FILENAME
if necessary, the executable permission on that moved file and run it.
