Extraction issue with su/cat on rooted device

[m1435]

Describe the bug Andriller fails to extract internal databases using the the get_file(su/cat) method.

To Reproduce

1. Connect rooted Android device.
2. Set output folder.
3. Click Check and then Extract.

Expected behavior Andriller extracts and parses the various databases, e.g. calllog.db.

Screenshots n/a

Environment:

• OS: Debian Sid
• Andriller version: 3.5.3
• Installation from PyPi.
• Python version: 3.9.2
• ADB binary path: /usr/bin/adb
• ADB version: Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.41, Version 28.0.2-debian, Installed as /usr/lib/android-sdk/platform-tools/adb

Target Android device:

• When a device is connected, is it recognised when clicked on Check? Yes.
• Device make / model: Oneplus 5T
• Android OS: 11 / Lineage 18.1 "dumpling"
• Screenlock present? Yes, known credentials.

Error Log / Traceback andriller.log

Additional context The reason appears to be related to the unstrip function in the adb_conn.py file. With the following change which effectively bypasses the function, I got the extraction working:

136     def unstrip(self, data: bytes) -> bytes:¬                                   
137         return data # re.sub(self.rmr, b'\n', data)¬ 

So maybe the value of the _is_adb_out_post_v5 variable is not setup correctly? It appears to be False in my case, although I have adb exec-out id available.

Thank you, I will investigate this. It seems that the version you have does not require removing extra carriage returns. I don't want to rush in releasing a fix, as I would need to be able to test with multiple Android versions.

Thanks for replying. I am all for proper investigation. In the end, it might still be odd behavior of my version of adb. It's not called Debian Unstable for nothing 😉

TBH, I won't have the time for a month to be able to look into it, as I am on a long holiday. Feel free to modify your own fork with any code changes you like in the mean time.
