I have rooted my evo. I have S-off. I flashed cm7 and everything is working great. The only problem is when I open terminal emulator app. I type in su, and it tells me "superuser permission denied" There is a $ sign on every line also. From what I understand, I should be seeing a # sign. I have also installed BusyBox. Is there anyway to get superuser permission on terminal emulator?

From what i understand, you will have a $ sign until SU permission is granted, then it turns to a #.. Have you tried opening Superuser and seeing if terminal has a green light/dot next to it?
Terminal emulator is not on my allowed list in superuser. I was never prompted to allow permission to terminal. I even uninstalled terminal and downloaded it again from the market and after i opened it, I was not prompted to allow permission from superuser. Is there anyway to add terminal on the allowed list in superuser, because I cant see anyway to add it. Or would there be another reason permission on terminal is denied?

Have you tried looking on superuser's log to see if it is even trying to request permission? If not, can you try another terminal program?

So I downloaded Better emulator pro. And under preferences, I selected "start as root" and was prompted to allow superuser permissions. When I open better emulator I see the # symbol, but when I type in su, it responds: not found. Any suggestions?

Hey guys I'm trying to flash Amon RA v 1.8 on my phone, put it in the root of my sdcard opened terminal emulator and typed su, but it said 'permission denied'
my phone is rooted, i have superuser permissions under my apps, i was able to use set cpu, i dont understand whats wrong, suggestions?
Sounds like you may be rooted but not Nand unlocked. You should give more information as to what method you did to achieve root, what hboot, etc...
one person told me the same and that i needed the PC36IMG zip file and that i would be good. my method of rooting was installing the hboot drivers and then using unrevoked.
i booted in recovery with clockwork and did a NAND backup assuming then that NAND was unlocked lol but i guess not so i tried doing some research into the NAND unlocking and i have no idea what this adb shell thing is, is this the problem though with flashing amon RA?
Try giving terminal emulator su permission. Tap supermissions apk and enable terminal emulator.
if you mean go to the superuser permission app and check whats allowed/denied terminal emulator isnt there, only wifi tethering set cpu and titanium backup are there

In terminal emulator settings check start as root, then restart it, and then when supermissions prompts you give terminal emulator root privilege.
there's no setting like that in terminal emulator, i do have another app called 'better terminal emulator', checked those settings and it had the setting you were talking about, but even when i checked that, superuser permissions didnt ask me to allow/deny better terminal emulator

Within Better terminal emulator, try the su command.
I used better terminal emulator (bte) to install Amon_Ra's 1.8 and it is in the super user permission white list.
I've some basic questions about rooting:
I've already rooted my HTC Desire and it seems to work.
Did I understand correctly that the application itself has to ask for superuser rights to get root? I cannot grant it myself?
It download a console emulator application and tried to get root with
sudo su
and it did not work. I guess this is because the application did not ask for root privileges, when it started?
It should be automatic, does not have to be at startup of the app.
Download a proper terminal emulator (i use 'Android Terminal Emulator') type 'su' and hit enter, you should get the notification about superuser rights. Unless it's the first time, than you get a pop up that asks for permission.
How do I give black tremors a2sd permission to run commands? Every time I run a command, I get permission denied. And it never ask for superuser permissions so how else can I grant it permission.
Did you do SU first?
a2sd permissions
Where do I type the SU? every where I put it command. I get nothing.
are u using a2sdgui
sent from my synergized supersonic
If you're using a terminal emulator, like Terminal or connectbot, the first thing you do is type su then hit enter
Then try your A2SD commands
hello all, i rooted my a100 via the guide, and the root checker says its rooted, but i cannot get into shell. When i enable filesystem browsing, it won't allow me. Not even a prompt from su.

Did you install superuser from the market?
Im having a similar problem. I can verify that su has been moved to system/xbin/su but busybox nor Superuser detects root... Ive used all guides I can find to work this.

Tried with no results
Did you update su binary?
Educate me, If you mean by trying to use superuser and update it through the settings, it was a no go.
I had a similar problem. It was showing as being in the /system/xbin folder, but I didn't have root. In my case, I was failing to move the su file out of the folder after extraction and put it in the /mnt/sdcard directory so the commands were just creating a blank su file in /system/xbin

How did you go about fixing the issue?
After extracting the zip I moved the su file (the one with no extension) from the extracted folders and tried the lines in the terminal again and it worked.

Ahh, Yea. Ive tried that already with no luck. It shows the file, roughly 25kb in the folder, but it also shows I have no root. Ive tried restarting, uninstalling superuser and reinstalling, etc...
did you ever get your tab rooted?

Could you post what build number your running, also after you've run the commands for copying over the su and download superuser from the market, if you open terminal emulator up and type su what does it output?
Have you tried this???

yes, after i did what the guide told me to do. i have the latest version of Honeycomb given out via OTA update. now in superuser, i didnt update it, as it fails evey time. also, when i type "su" into terminal, nothing happens. im trying to put the build.prop that was modded recently, so i can get an app made for gingerbread onto here, as well as getting a PS3 controller to connect, but both need root. i just dont understand why the root checking app says i have it, when i really dont. guess it just checks for the su file in xbin? i really hope someone can point me in the right direction
First, I really need to know the build number "the latest one the ota can give" isnt sufficiant. It can be found under settings -> about tablet toward the bottom.
Second, saying "nothing happens" isnt true.. something always happens... either it just spit out another line with $ or the next line showed up with a #. How long did it take for the next line to show up after you typed su in the terminal?
The more details you can provide, the better I can help... this isnt directed at the above poster but all users in general.
One thing you might want to try is to uninstall the superuser app, then run this command:
/system/bin/cmdclient ec_micswitch '`rm /system/xbin/su`'
and then go back through the root process (or use my quick root script). The above command will get rid of any bad su file that might be in /system/xbin.

Upon typing in su in the terminal, is shows another line with $. Ive tried your ten second root yesterday looking for other options, but it says permission denied, even when trying to run from other directories. Ive even opened the root.sh file and copied the whole file and pasted in the term and every command gives a permission denied but the 3 commands that you see everywhere else. when typing in ls -l /system/xbin/su I get around 26000 bytes. So the file is there.

Can you try the attached su binary. I don't recall where I got it from since is been a while but I've had issue with 2.3.2 su binary before and the attached is what I use to root mine.
I've installed terminal emulator from market, but after writing SU it "can't found it"... what should I do?
i think you need to install busybox and have root access.....

Can you check e.g. with adb shell that "su" is installed
on the correct location?
Does other "root" apps work?
Regards
max
EDIT: su should be in /system/xbin
in terminal run
echo $PATH
This must include the dir where su is installed
Install Hacker's Keyboard. I assume that "SU" is being typed in upper case in your terminal emulator? That's your problemt then.

it's because the stock keyboard will only write in capitals in the term for some reason, so just use anyother keyboard you can get your hands on
All right, problem solved: I've just change the shell command line to /system/xbin/ and everything works and I've change something with keyboard in emulator and it's don't writes in capitals any more
