Umm... how do I actuallly run a command I've typed in?
Press the enter button?
Didn't work. Only way I've managed is to set any code I want to be run when the terminal opens.

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"
Just wondering if I have installed adb correctly I can open my command prompt using windows vista and type adb devices and I get my serial number displayed as a connected device does this confirm and is working? Thanks for your help! Completely new to this.

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!

Oh sorry I thought I mentioned that in my earlier post I am rooted running decrap..and the other mods that are on this forum
Ok so this is what is going on I go into command prompt type in CD then to the tools directory and hit enter then type adb devicesand hit enter serial number comes up so I type adb shell and I get $ ok so I read somewhere if you get that prompt type aubri hit enter ok so I do that superuser permission is asked on my phone so I said allow it. Retyped adb shell and it isn't recognizing what adb is? Not sure what is going on here thanks to anyone who helps explain if I'm doing something wrong.

Once you
$adb shell
$su
#
You shouldn't need to type adb shell again bc ur already in it...
it would also help us to help you to know what you are trying to do with ADB shell... being that you are rooted, what else do you need to do with it?

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.

Can anyone give me the command for terminal emulator like copy, rename, move and any other cammands? And how do I use it. Someone said mv is to rename so I tried (mv /mnt/sdcard/"my_file_name" > "the name I wanted it to be") and it says (cannot create "the name I wanted it to be": read-only file system. I was like what!!! I typed there "/mnt/sdcard/" and it says system. So can anyone help me? I new to all this
you are new but you can search
mnt/sdcard is a system mounted path you cannot rename it with mv command
actually mv command was created for moving but it can also be used to rename (like:- mv /sdcard/file /sdcard/file.apk)
copy:- cp
go to /system/bin and /system/xbin , every file there is a command you can use all of them in terminal but before doing anything with the command read about its working properly
Thanks

I accidentally did this is there anyway I can revive my phone?
Found solution (OP 6t): hold down your power button and volume up button at the same time. It can take up to half a minute! Don’t stop after a few seconds and tip is to remove every kind of case
I just unlocked and rooted my nexus 7 and choose to install busybox but its not showing in the list of installed apps. is there a way to check if it installed correctly? I don't want to reinstall it and corrupt my device. Thanks..
Install terminal emulator and enter su then some command line commands. If it works busybox installed right.

one more question, is busybox is installed, should it show up as an app in the list of apps installed on the nexus 7?
Busybox is not an app and won't show up as one because it isn't something you can run by itself. It is a component that other apps require to run.
