I am trying to push Frida onto an Android Emulator. To do this you use Android Device Bridge (adb) to "push" the frida server to a folder. I downloaded the server. It comes in a xz file format.

When I open the xz file with the Frida Android server in it in 8 Zip Pro it will extract it to a file folder. The instructions for pushing frida server seem to indicate there is just one file that goes over. Not a file folder.

I have seem other refer to "decompressing" the xz file first. What tools can be used to "decompress" this file. If I need to do something else to this file please let me know.

Thanks

  • Use [7-Zip](https://www.7-zip.org/). It is available for every platform and can handle all common and a lot of rare compression formats - xz included. BTW: That you get a directory (with one file in it) is a problem of the used decompression tool. The xz file itself does only contain one single file without any directory. – Robert Jul 29 '20 at 08:29
  • Solved! Thank you Robert. I was able to just open and decompress the file via 7 Zip where that option was not available in 8 Zip Pro (that I could find) – Cylikon Jul 29 '20 at 14:56

You can just use the command line to unzip it:

#unzip it
unxz frida-server-15.1.14-android-x86.xz

And then the following steps would be:

#change the name
mv frida-server-15.1.14-android-x86.xz frida-server

#push to device
adb push frida-server /data/local/tmp

#change permissions
adb shell "chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/frida-server"

#Run frida-server
adb shell "/data/local/tmp/frida-server
