---------------------------------------------------Installation Part-----------------------------------------------------------------

Step 1 : Update your termux to latest version. Don't install from play store.
use from f-droid ( https://f-droid.org/repo/com.termux_118.apk) or
github release ( https://github.com/termux/termux-app/releases/download/v0.118.0/termux-app_v0.118.0+github-debug_universal.apk ) or beta
https://github.com/termux/termux-app/releases/download/v0.119.0-beta.1/termux-app_v0.119.0-beta.1+apt-android-7-github-debug_universal.apk

Step 2 : Give storage permission to termux manually
long click on icon -> select App Info -> permission and give storage permission.
Alternatively go to android settings -> installed apps -> search for termux -> permission and give storage permission.

Step 3 : Update dependency in termux

pkg update
pkg upgrade

Step 3: Install necessary tools needed for frida or (radare2 if you want) installation.

pkg install build-essential python python-pip git wget binutils openssl

At this point we can proceed with new installation method. Just execute following command

wget https://maglit.me/frida-python && bash frida-python

and It will download devkit and install frida with modified build tools as latest frida doesn't support building thing on termux out of the box. At this step you are ready to use frida.
If you get any error after executing above script you can try below command to fix frida-tools

pip install --upgrade frida-tools

while if needed to install it manually instead of script, its straight forward to execute these commands

git clone https://github.com/AbhiTheModder/frida-python-android
cd frida-python-android
FRIDA_VERSION=16.4.10 FRIDA_CORE_DEVKIT=../devkit pip install .
pip install --upgrade frida-tools

if you want to follow older installation method which can install frida <= 16.2.2 then keep reading below

Step 4 : Download Frida Core DevKit according to device architecture from
https://github.com/frida/frida/releases
As of writing this, 16.0.19 is the latest frida version -
for arm device - https://github.com/frida/frida/releases/download/16.0.19/frida-core-devkit-16.0.19-android-arm.tar.xz
for arm64 device - https://github.com/frida/frida/releases/download/16.0.19/frida-core-devkit-16.0.19-android-arm64.tar.xz
for 32 bit emulator/device - https://github.com/frida/frida/releases/download/16.0.19/frida-core-devkit-16.0.19-android-x86.tar.xz
for 64 bit emulators/device - https://github.com/frida/frida/releases/download/16.0.19/frida-core-devkit-16.0.19-android-x86_64.tar.xz

Step 5 : Extract it on internal storage ( don't extract it in /data/local/tmp ). for demo purpose I extracted it into

/sdcard/devkit

folder. It should have 4 files -
frida-core-example.c
frida-core.h
frida-core.gir
libfrida-core.a

Step 6: Set proper environment variables, in this case type

export FRIDA_CORE_DEVKIT=/sdcard/devkit/

if you extracted it on some other location, use that path.
make sure you run above command without root/su.

Step 7: Install frida and its commandline tools from pip

pip install frida frida-tools

Now Frida is available to use from commandline

---------------------------------------------------Installation Part End-----------------------------------------------------------------

---------------------------------------------------Frida-Server Setup-----------------------------------------------------------------

Step 1: Download appropriate frida server according to your device architecture.
https://github.com/frida/frida/releases
As of writing this, 16.0.19 is the latest frida version -
for arm device - https://github.com/frida/frida/releases/download/16.0.19/frida-server-16.0.19-android-arm.xz
for arm64 device - https://github.com/frida/frida/releases/download/16.0.19/frida-server-16.0.19-android-arm64.xz
for 32 bit emulator/device - https://github.com/frida/frida/releases/download/16.0.19/frida-server-16.0.19-android-x86.xz
for 64 bit emulator/device - https://github.com/frida/frida/releases/download/16.0.19/frida-server-16.0.19-android-x86_64.xz

Step 2: Extract this archive into /data/local/tmp/ (Remember - Extract it , Don't copy/move it there, Some guys just move it to tmp folder and try to execute it so they get error like Not executable: Magic FD37)

Step 3: Rename it to frida-server without any extension. (You can pick any name but some guys later complain that ./frida-server command is not working so remeber the name whatever you choosen).

Step 4: Give executable permission to frida-server. Follow below step if you don't know how to do it.

Open MT Manager and navigate to /data/local/tmp
Long press on frida-server and select property

3. Now click on modify in front of Permissions

Now select all the checkbox and click on OK

---------------------------------------------------Frida-Server Setup End-----------------------------------------------------------------

How to use Frida in Termux

Step 1: Start Termux and type

su

Step 2: type

cd /data/local/tmp

Step 3: type

./frida-server -l 127.0.0.1

like this picture

Step 4: Left swipe on termux and start a new session

Step 5: type

cd /data/local/tmp

Step 6: type following command to spawn app with frida with your script

frida -H 127.0.0.1 -f com.your.app -l script.js

If you want to run frida-trace then also similar command will work.
Note - Don't try to run frida-trace when you are in tmp directory as it will create handler folder and due to permission it will throw error. So we navigate to home directory to run it

cd ~
frida-trace -H 127.0.0.1 -f com.your.app -i open

How to use Frida Inject in Termux

Step 1: Download appropriate Frida Inject Binary according to your device architecture.
https://github.com/frida/frida/releases
As of writing this, 16.0.19 is the latest frida version -
for arm device - https://github.com/frida/frida/releases/download/16.0.19/frida-inject-16.0.19-android-arm.xz
for arm64 device - https://github.com/frida/frida/releases/download/16.0.19/frida-inject-16.0.19-android-arm64.xz
for 32 bit emulator/device - https://github.com/frida/frida/releases/download/16.0.19/frida-inject-16.0.19-android-x86.xz
for 64 bit emulator/device - https://github.com/frida/frida/releases/download/16.0.19/frida-inject-16.0.19-android-x86_64.xz

Step 2:
Extract this archive into /data/local/tmp/ (Remember - Extract it , Don't copy/move it there, Some guys just move it to tmp folder and try to execute it so they get error like Not executable: Magic FD37)

Step 3: Rename it to frida without any extension. (You can pick any name but some guys later complain that ./frida- command is not working so remeber the name whatever you choosen).
Here is a screenshot of device when a guy try to run frida without downloading anything( come on man, You are a frida user , have some common sense).

To avoid such issue, make sure you download frida inject first and keep following steps.

Step 4: Make it executable, read this whole discussion to find out how to do it.

Step 5: Copy/Move your script to /data/local/tmp. It is not mandatory to have this path but then some guy will come and complain that script.js is not found

Step 6: Use frida as usual

su
cd /data/local/tmp
./frida -f com.app -s script.js

------------------------------------------------FAQ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q1. I am getting error with --no-pause command with frida
A1. --no-pause command is removed from frida in 16.x so don't use it.

Q2. What is alternative to --no-pause
A2. as --no-pause is removed and new command --pause is introduced, don't mix it uses.
--no-pause == don't pause the process and directly run the script.
--pause == pause the process and let you decide when to resume with %resume command

Q3. frida command is not found
A3. You not have frida installed from pip. Follow above guide to install it properly

Q4. frida-ps command is not working.
A4. frida-ps require frida-server so start the server in tmp folder with

su
cd /data/local/tmp
./frida-server -l 127.0.0.1

and then

frida-ps -ai -H 127.0.0.1
frida-ps -H 127.0.0.1

etc commands will work.

I managed to follow all the steps and installed the latest Frida in Termux.

How is it supposed to be used? I get

$ frida-ps
Failed to enumerate processes: unable to find process with name 'system_server'.

You should use frida-ps -H 127.0.0.1 to catch packages in host

You probably forgot to run frida-server as root

Hi. I'm trying to run Frida on Termux on my device. I have managed to install it, but when I try to run it I get the following error:

Failed to load the Frida native extension: dlopen failed: cannot locate symbol "__atomic_is_lock_free" referenced by "data/data/com. termux/files/usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/_frida.abi3.so... Please ensure that the extension was compiled correctly.

I'm running it on a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 with custom Lineage OS 14.1 on Android 7.1.2. It's x86 system.

Any suggestions please?

Thank you for reply. I've already tried old python versions with no luck. I can install Frida server and connect using PC. What I am trying to achieve is to use Frida without PC. I found this solution on github: "Prevent Clang from emitting atomic libcalls #16584" as it is a problem with openssl, but I don't know how to patch openssl on termux.

Where do I extract the frida server archive if I don't have the directory /data/local/tmp? I mean, I can't find the exact directory to where to extract the frida server.

You would have /data/local, there create /tmp folder

GlitchBlake Dec 2, 2024

Well, in the data folder (the root directory) there's only app directory. What will I do about this? I tried extracting the archive within Termux but it resulted with Permission denied error.

Why I can't use Shizuku instead of a real root? I tried it but I get Unable to load SELinux policy from the kernel: Failed to open file ?/sys/fs/selinux/policy?: Permission denied when I try to start the frida server as Shizuku.

Oh that is to big.
I've managed to install that on android but termux size after all 1.2GB
To much

That was very unexpected for me that there is no any client which we can run directly on Android. :(
