This command will not work on a standard, out-of-the-box device setup. The following prerequisites are required:

Shizuku, developed by Rikka (a well-known Chinese Android developer), solves a frustrating problem: many powerful Android APIs require system-level permissions, but rooting your phone voids warranties, breaks SafetyNet, and introduces security risks.

Shizuku acts as a broker. Here’s how:

Shizuku has enabled apps like AppOps, Ice Box, Bluetooth Tools, and even Swift Backup to perform tasks like: This command will not work on a standard,

The final argument is a Linux command that displays the total amount of free and used physical memory (RAM) and swap in the system. Unlike the free command on desktop Linux, Android’s toybox version is simpler but equally insightful.

When the start.sh script is executed, it completes its initialization and then—because free is provided as an argument—the script likely passes it to a shell or just runs it after starting the server. In reality, start.sh does not process arguments unless specifically coded; more often, users append another command to check that the service is running or to test the shell environment.

Shizuku is an open-source Android framework that allows apps to use system APIs with elevated privileges without requiring root access. It works by leveraging ADB or root to start a privileged service. The package moe.shizuku.privileged.api is the manager component. The presence of start.sh inside its data directory suggests a script used to launch or interact with the Shizuku daemon. Shizuku has enabled apps like AppOps , Ice

Executing this script via ADB can achieve actions normally reserved for system apps, such as:

  • The target (moeshizukuprivilegedapi) suggests a third‑party component, possibly related to “Moe Shizuku” or Shizuku-like privileged APIs that let apps use higher-privilege APIs via an assistant process. Running such components may attempt to start a privileged service.

    • | Risk | Level | Explanation | |------|-------|-------------| | Malicious script | Medium | start.sh could contain harmful commands if placed by a malicious app | | Data leakage | Low | Shizuku itself is safe, but running random scripts from shared storage is unsafe | | Privilege escalation | Low/Medium | Shizuku has high privileges — a malicious start.sh could abuse them | | Device instability | Low | free might just run Linux free command (memory stats) |

    adb shell sh /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/moe.shizuku.privileged.api/start.sh uptime

    This shows how long the system has been running—and by extension, how long the Shizuku server has been available if started recently. The final argument is a Linux command that

    Your command:

    adb shell sh storage emulated 0 android data moeshizukuprivilegedapi startsh free

    seems to be missing slashes and has typos.

    Probably you meant:

    adb shell sh /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/moe.shizuku.privileged.api/start.sh free

    Let’s analyze the corrected version:

    | Part | Meaning | |------|---------| | adb shell | Run command on Android device | | sh | Use shell interpreter | | /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/ | External storage path for app-private data | | moe.shizuku.privileged.api | Shizuku app (privileged API access tool) | | start.sh | Script inside that app’s data dir | | free | Argument passed to start.sh |
