Shizuku Authorization

What is Shizuku?

Shizuku is an open-source Android tool that allows apps to call system APIs without requiring Root permission.

With Shizuku, users can grant certain apps elevated system privileges while balancing security and convenience. Its core functionality is based on ADB and runtime permissions, allowing developers to use some advanced APIs under normal user privileges.

Installation

If Shizuku is not installed yet, you can download the latest version from Github or Google Play.

Because of network restrictions in some regions, if Github and Google Play are not accessible, you can install it from the download link provided on this site, though it may not be the latest version.

Tip

If keeping Shizuku alive in the background is difficult, see here.

Start

Tip

Before continuing, make sure Developer options is already enabled on your phone. If not, please search for a tutorial for your phone brand first.

Shizuku can be started in two ways: Wireless debugging and ADB. Choose the method that best fits your situation.

Tip

No matter which method you use, Shizuku must be started again after the phone restarts.

Start with Wireless Debugging

Tip

If your device is running Android 11 or later, you can directly use Wireless debugging. Otherwise, using ADB is recommended.

Make sure you are connected to Wi-Fi, then launch Shizuku.

1. Open Shizuku and tap the Pairing button.

2. Tap Developer options, and you will be taken to the Developer options page.

3. Find Wireless debugging, turn on the switch on the right, then tap the area on the left side of the switch to enter the wireless debugging page.

4. Tap Pair device with pairing code.

5. A pairing code will appear at the bottom of the screen, and a notification will appear in the notification bar. Tap Enter pairing code.

6. After entering the pairing code, tap Send, then return to Shizuku.

7. After returning to Shizuku, it should automatically enter the following screen and exit after about 3 seconds. If the Shizuku main page shows Running, startup is complete.

8. If this screen does not appear, tap the Start button on the Shizuku main page.

9. If there is still no response, repeat the process from step 1. Sometimes it takes two or three tries to start successfully.

Tip

To ensure proper authorization and use later, set Shizuku's Battery optimization to Unrestricted and allow it to Run in background.

Start with ADB

ADB, short for Android Debug Bridge, is a command-line tool used to interact with Android devices. It allows developers to connect devices over USB or Wi-Fi for debugging, app installation, file transfer, log viewing, running tests, and more. It is an essential tool for Android development and device management.

Tip

Using ADB to start Shizuku requires a computer.

If you have not downloaded ADB yet, click here to download.

1. On your phone, enter Developer options, find USB debugging, and turn it on.

   

2. Set Default USB configuration to File transfer.

   

3. On your computer, extract the downloaded ADB tools. Using Windows as an example, enter the extracted directory, type cmd in the address bar, and press Enter to open the command line window.

   

4. Run the command adb devices. If one device appears in the output, the computer connection is successful. Otherwise, go back to step 1 and re-check the setup.

   

5. Run the following command to start Shizuku:

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

6. If you see the following output, startup succeeded:
