[Q] Is there a way to access root from PC? - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I was wondering if there is a way to access root in a sgs connected to a pc by a cable?

Just type "su" in adb prompt...
Need rooted sgs.

Thanks for quick anwser,
That's obvious but how do i explore the root directory? What are the commands? Is there an equivalent of linux "cd", "ls" and such?

Both CD and ls will work. Remember, android is based on Linux.

Now I can see but the command I was looking for was "adb shell"

Terminal Emulator??? Access "adb shell"???

how do i use the terminal emulator app to access adb shell?
adb shell is only used when you're on a computer, like when using android sdk tools. When you use the terminal emulator you use different commands try This Link for some help using the terminal emulator, they're basically the same as linux commands.
also this should be in the Q&A section
lol the terminal is the 'shell'
if you're running a terminal right on the phone, then consider yourself already @root when you're typing in commands.

Sort of. You are a user, but not "root". To become superuser you have to use the SU command.
/ $ su

I'm sorry if I'm nitpicking here. Your original point remains true. You don't have to use ADB at that point to run commands. You run the command without ADB right in the terminal.

No, you're fine. I was just assuming that he was already rooted, but you're right - it's a regular user account unless you change to superuser.
in order to do what you probably want you will have to type su. It should then ask for SU permission and then you should gey

How to ADB Shell on Virtuous 2.2, S-off

I'm trying to use ADB shell, but it's not working on Virtuous 2.2, s-off. I'm using terminal emulator, usb debugging, phone plugged into computer.
It starts with:
$
and I enter:
"Adb shell"
I then get the message: "Adb: Permission denied"
I definitely have root, so what's the issue here?

Don't know what that means. How do I do that?
I think you need to type su, hit enter, then adb shell. Not exactly sure, I'm not too familiar with adb but I think that's how it goes

As far as I know that does mean you have it installed and running correctly.
I agree, that would tell me it's installed correctly. Shell into your phone. If you can do that, you should be all set. Directions for shelling into your phone can be found in the forums. If you can't find them, let me know and I'll help you out. We all have to start somewhere. Lol!

You shouldn't need to type adb shell again bc ur already in it...

assuming your screen looked like this...
$adb shell
$su

...and changed from $ to # when you did it, you're good. also, it showing as a device was a good indicator too.

Do youreself a favor and search the adb howto in the Thrill general section. It will tell you how to make an adb shortcut. Save you some headaches.
Also after you adb shell you can no longer use the adb command until you 'exit' the shell. Trying to do so will result in adb not found.

what do you mean exit the shell

Adb commands are run from the computer. When you type adb shell all commands from that point on are from the phone, so you can no longer use the adb command when in shell. Typing 'exit' will exit the shell and return you to being able to use adb commands.

It's Android Debug Bridge. Basically, it's a command line interface from your PC to your phone. Think of a terminal emulator that you run on the phone itself. ADB is pretty much the same, but from a PC. It is part of Android SDK. You can also find it included in many installation packages posted here on XDA, e.g. CWM recovery. There is an executable and a couple of DLLs.

Sorry, but i know what it is now, how do i run it though? im trying to follow the htc desire hd guide to root my phone, which everything is done up until the point i have to test that i have root in debug mode. Not sure how to do this? run abd.exe? it just showed me a cmd window which runs and then dissapears.
If you got your phone rooted or want to test it run adb.exe shell the type su and hit enter. If the prompt change from $ to # you have root access

What is likely to be the problem if it says SU permission denied?
If you are on stock, that means that you have no root access. If you have cm10 or cm10.1 you have to enable adb root access somewhere in the settings. I am sorry but I can not tell you at the moment where to enable it because I am on stock right now.
