Android Reverse TCP screenshot not working.

[robot321]

After i've got a successfull meterpreter shell, I could issue commands (some of them) Successfully. But when i try screenshot it gives me a error like this,

stdapi_ui_desktop_screenshot: Operation Failed: 1

Checked the command both on Rooted and Non-Rooted devices, But still gives me that error, Looked it up couldn't find anything useful. (Both on WAN and LAN)

But i could get managed to get screenshot by using android shell (shell). But only on rooted devices.
Oh i almost forgot, But i could use 'screenshot' command on Binded apps, but only when the Target is in that app. I tried using deafault android app "MainActivity" but it also doesn't work.
I think that the app is running on a Sandbox. But i don't know exactly.

metasploit v.4.16.22-dev
Kali Linux 2017.2

Thanks!

This only works within the app , I.e u can only take screenshot of the screen when your app is open. Yes to take screenshot of other screens you need root permissions and run post/android/capture/screen.

I checked that also on a rooted device, But i got an error about saying that "Permission is Denided"
Is there a command to grant permissions in that module.
I can't remeber the error message correctly but it meant that Permission was denided, and i didn't got a prompt on that device too.
Do i have to manually allow that ceratin app to have permissions on SuperSu app or other Permission managing app?

Well the first thing that u pointed out is an awkward error, it should work well on rooted devices. Try these steps on a rooted device

First drop into shell then,
cd /system/bin
screencap - h and you'll see a list of available options.

Regarding permission Yes depending on the version of Android your using it varies, for 6.0 and above it doesn't ask any extra permissions. For 4.4 I think you need to give these permissions exclusively
