A simple Python CLI to reboot an Android device between modes (system, recovery, bootloader/fastboot, fastbootd, Samsung download/Odin mode, Qualcomm EDL) and grab a screenshot of the current device interface — built on top of the official adb and fastboot binaries.

No Python knowledge required to run it: just double-click run.bat (Windows) or run.sh (macOS/Linux).

Features

• Reboot system → recovery
• Reboot system → bootloader (fastboot)
• Reboot system → fastbootd
• Reboot system → download mode (Samsung/Odin)
• Reboot system → EDL/9008 mode (Qualcomm emergency download)
• Reboot bootloader → system
• Reboot fastbootd → system
• Reboot back to system from any adb-accessible mode
• Capture a screenshot of the device's current interface (saved to screenshots/)
• One-click launcher for people who don't want to touch the command line

Requirements

• A Windows, macOS, or Linux PC
• Python 3.8+ (download here) — the launcher will tell you if it's missing
• USB debugging enabled on the Android device (Settings → About phone → tap "Build number" 7 times → Developer options → USB debugging)
• The official adb/fastboot binaries (see setup below)

Setup

1. Get the code

git clone https://github.com/YOUR-USERNAME/android-multitool.git
cd android-multitool

2. Add adb / fastboot binaries

This repo does not ship adb/fastboot itself (Google's own binaries, best to always get the latest official copy). Download the official Android SDK Platform Tools:

👉 https://developer.android.com/tools/releases/platform-tools

Unzip it, then copy the following files into the platform-tools/ folder of this project (same names, same folder):

File	Where it goes
adb.exe	android-multitool/platform-tools/adb.exe
fastboot.exe	android-multitool/platform-tools/fastboot.exe
AdbWinApi.dll	android-multitool/platform-tools/AdbWinApi.dll
AdbWinUsbApi.dll	android-multitool/platform-tools/AdbWinUsbApi.dll

(macOS/Linux users only need adb and fastboot, no .dll files.)

Final layout:

android-multitool/
├── platform-tools/
│   ├── adb.exe
│   ├── fastboot.exe
│   ├── AdbWinApi.dll
│   └── AdbWinUsbApi.dll
├── src/
├── run.bat
└── run.sh

3. Run it

• Windows: double-click run.bat
• macOS/Linux: ./run.sh
• Or manually: python src/main.py

The launcher checks for Python, installs any dependencies, and starts the menu automatically.

Usage

==================================================
   Android Multitool - adb / fastboot helper
==================================================
[adb]      connected: [('R58N30ABCDE', 'device')]

Reboot options:
  1. Reboot: system -> recovery
  2. Reboot: system -> bootloader (fastboot)
  3. Reboot: system -> fastbootd
  4. Reboot: system -> download mode (Samsung/Odin)
  5. Reboot: system -> EDL / 9008 mode (Qualcomm)
  6. Reboot: bootloader -> system
  7. Reboot: fastbootd -> system
  8. Reboot: back to system (from adb-accessible mode)
  9. Capture screenshot of device interface
  0. Refresh device status
  q. Quit

Notes & limitations

• Download mode and EDL reboots depend on the device/vendor exposing that reboot target to adb; not every phone supports every mode.
• This tool only calls the standard, documented adb reboot <target> and fastboot reboot commands — it does not use exploits or bypass any device protections.
• Always be careful with fastboot commands on a real device; wrong flashing/erasing commands can brick a phone. This tool intentionally only exposes reboot and screenshot actions.

Contributing

Pull requests are welcome! Ideas for contributions:

• A GUI (Tkinter/PyQt) on top of the same src/ logic
• adb backup / adb pull helpers
• Batch operations across multiple connected devices
• Linux .desktop launcher / macOS .command double-click launcher
• Auto-download of platform-tools on first run
