How to verify your phone is "rooted"

Hi all,
I've recently flashed to MoDaCo 2.2 however I'm just assuming my device got rooted at the same time - but I don't know for sure.
What's the easiest way to verify it has been rooted?
Thanks!

1. use search forum or google..
2. adb shell su
thats it

It keeps saying device not found, but works for my mytouch and G1. Any ideas?

Have you enabled USB debugging? Settings-Applications-Development

Yup did that too...my other phones pick it up no issues.

I also get the exact same problem (i.e. Device not found) - I guess it is a hint that it isn't rooted maybe (although I assumed it was automatic with flashing MoDaCo 2.2)?

Sound like a problem with your driver. But you should have been able to connect before to install the custom rom?
Download astro file manager and you should be able to see files that you couldn't see before

OK I got a work around. You need to restore your PC to a point BEFORE you plug in your hero. I did this and now works great.

How I might undo root process?
I think that replace chmod 4755 permision to default in the "su" file, but I don't know how to
No need to do, but I'm intererested in the concept

There is a thread on how to unroot:
Open Windows Console and connect Hero with PC
write this:
fastboot boot cm-hero-recovery.img
adb shell mount /system
adb shell rm /system/app/Superuser.apk
adb shell rm /system/bin/su
adb shell reboot

[Q]Linux Root Issues[libusb errors]

Firstly, I'd like to say hello as I just recently purchased my E4GT and moved over from a HeroC. So far the community has seemed pretty warm and helpful so I'll just go ahead and get down to it: I've searched. I've Googled. I've even Youtubed but nothing seems to have an answer to my problem.
I'm running Ubuntu 11.10, up to date, with Heimdall 1.3.1 installed. My problem is that even though the device is detected in download mode, when I run
Code:
heimdall flash --kernel zImage
I keep coming up with this error
Code:
Initialising connection...
Detecting device...
libusb couldn't open USB device /dev/bus/usb/001/016: Permission denied.
libusb requires write access to USB device nodes.
ERROR: Failed to access device. libusb error: -3
Now I will admit that while I have read and reread the wiki looking for my mistake, I am fresh to the E4GT and Samsung altogether, so if this is some simpleton error I would not be entirely surprised. I'm at my wits end as I have the drivers, verified so with an ADB reboot command, so I'm not sure what my issue is. Any and all advice/help/guidance will be hugely appreciated.

Very simple fix. Follow the steps you would follow to get adb running.

Thanks for the info, unfortunately adb is already detecting my device. Ran through the setup anyways and still the same error. I'm wondering what's causing libusb to not rw at this point.
EDIT: Gonna reboot, then give it a shot with sudo added to the flash command. May or may not work, but I'm willing to try anything before I give up and hunt down a friend with a windows machine.
EDIT2: That's exactly what it needed! Now I'm officially rooted

Same problem with my tablet, trying to install TWRP
Hi. I've installed Android SDK and the API for the device (Android 4.2.2, samsung SMT110 for me, API 17). After, Heimdall was running without any problem.

[Q] Kindle Fire with 6.3 Help with Rooting Please

Hi,
I am a total noob. I don't even know the proper expressions for this whole thing.
So this is my case:
I am outside the US and bought the Kindle Fire with a 6.3 firmware, couple of days ago.
Being curious about what it all can do, created a fake account with a test credit card as I read somewhere in the net.
Then downloaded the KFU 0.9.5 and rooted the device, everything went according to the plan, so I thought.
Then I discovered I had to use something called Market Opener to install other apps. But this Market Opener never worked.
So I found out that I had to change permissions. But this cannot happen as I get that message that adb services can not run in production builds etc. whatever that may mean.
So I downloaded Android SDK, followed the instructions installed it but I still cannot get into the root and change folder permissions. Sometimes it recognizes the device, sometimes not and when it does it tells me the same thing as above.
Then I would need some .apk to do the thing on the device but I cannot install those as I don't have the Market Opener or the Google Play and I cannot get those if I don't have superuser permissions to change things in Folders.
Basically I have been spending the last 3 days in searching the net for answers but to no avail.
So, can someone help me please? What I need to do is being able to install some apps including Market Opener / Google Play and being able to watch Amazon VOD. Is this possible?
Please bear in mind that I have no clue of the specific language, i.e. I don't know what flash is and how to do it nor I know how to do a backup and restore or how to reset everything in the original state.
SO if some of you have the patience to help, please advice me with some noob language so that I can understand.
Thanks in advance for the help that will come

Are you looking to put a custom rom on it or just root? If you're looking to keep Amazon services, you can put MoDaCo's rom on it, which is just like your kindle out of the box with a few extra bells and whistles. There are alot of guides floating around on how to get ADB working. There's an excellent beginners guide in the General section that I highly advise checking out.
Noob terms: if you want to keep the Amazon experience, I reccomend MoDaCo. Look for it in the development fourms.

Thanks for ur answer.
I have read a lot of guides out there but I seem not to be able to get the ADB working as I always get the message I gave in the original post plus the fact that sometimes it recognizes the device and sometimes not.
I have read the beginners guide which was excellent but without the ADB working there is little I can do I suppose.
As I wrote, I want to play with the device to see what it is able to do and want to use the Amazon VOD if possible. I.e. I would like to be able to use Google Play to get apps on will and still keep the Amazon services. Would that be possible with the MoDaCo staff?
Ok. I downloaded the MoDaCo staff.
Must I reset the kindle to the factory settings before I install that? If yes, how?
And how do I flash it?

Make sure you are in fact rooted.
You seem like you know enough about adb to try the following commands.
adb shell
ls /system/xbin
Look for a file called "su" in the list
Then...
ls /system/app
Look for a file called "Superuser.apk"
A lack of either of these means you're not rooted and may be the source of your problems
If you are trying to change system file permissions through adb...
adb root
adb remount
adb shell chmod blah /blah/blah/yadayada
Just don't literally type "blah /blah/blah/yadayada"
Sent from my Amazon Kindle Fire using xda premium

a factory reset won't really help you because you're basically replacing the operating system. pretty sure all amazon services are working with modaco. to install it, look around for a guide on how to install something called firefirefire (FFF) and TWRP. pretty sure that can all be done with kfu in a couple clicks. then copy the modaco zip onto your kindle, go into the wipe menu and clear out system, cache, dalvik cache, and data (factory reset), then go into install and choose the modaco zip. reboot and you should be set.

Thank you for your answer.
I would gladly follow your advice but the adb does not find my device. I don't know whether this is normal and if I must reboot my PC.
The kfu also gives me an offline status...

Thanks again for the fast answer. I am impressed!
Doesn't the FFF and the TWRP get installed automatically with the kfu?

its most likely your computer. a reboot might help. if not, how did you install the drivers? are you using a mac or pc? try installing the drivers that came bundled with KFU.
if you're using a PC, go into device manager and see if something about android ADB pops up. if not, it's your drivers.

haha, no problem .
if FFF was installed, you should see a picture of fire in a caution sign or an android logo over the kindle fire logo when you boot it up. if all you see is kindle fire, then you don't have fff. im pretty sure you need fff to get into twrp. if fff is installed, you should be able to hop into fastboot and install twrp if it's not installed yet.

I am using a PC ( a netbook, don't laugh, I'm on vacation!!)
I installed the drivers using the install_bat from the kfu.
In device manager I see Android Phone and underneath Android Composite ADB Interface...

interesting. check my previous post and see if you have FFF installed. adb should be working fine if device manager can find it. if you can, run adb devices into cmd and see if it picks up your kindle. not sure if the stock rom has a development switch in the settings.. if there's an option to enable usb debugging, make sure that is on. if not, just try moving usb ports and running adb devices.

If adb has trouble recognizing your device, it means it's a driver issue. Either Windows, KFU or a combination of the two causes the drivers to fail for some reason.
Uninstall/delete your current drivers in device manager (may require reboot)
Turn your Kindle off
Reinstall drivers
Turn your Kindle on
Retry adb commands

that's fantastic... if you have FFF, try pressing the power button a couple times as it turns on and see if you can get into recovery. you shouldn't need adb now. if you can get into recovery, just wipe and flash the new rom. if you don't, you can use fastboot to install it.

if you want to use adb, should be ls /system/xbin. make sure you put the space after the ls. i would still recommend flashing modaco nevertheless... that shouldn't need adb. just maybe fastboot if your recovery isnt installed.

Mounting SD card in CWM to PC

So I think I am SOL, but I wanted to ask you guys first.
My Nexus wont boot past the Google screen all of a sudden today. So I am going to attempt the toolkit version of returning to stock later. But before I do that, I want to try and salvage my pictures from the internal memory.
Is there a way to mount the internal storage to my PC so I can pull the files off?
I thought not having an SD card was no big deal, til now when im about to lose 500+ pictures.
Am I screwed?
Thanks

You can adb pull the dcim folder to your PC.
Edit: You would also be better served in the long run learning to return to stock yourself instead of using a toolkit.

If you have a custom recovery you should be able to get adb access. You just need to set up the drivers
I believe the previous link I gave even has a small platform-tools download so you wouldn't have to set up the sdk.

Can't install drivers.

Ok, this isn't my first rodeo as I've owned many android devices including the old nexus 7. I'm trying to unlock and root this but I can't install the drivers. I tried the device manager method and when I search it can't find anything and I tried a website to manually do it by downloading a zip and choosing it to no avail. Any one have the link to the drivers as that website may not of been accurate or anyone have any other suggestions?

You need to unzip it first.

Yes I did that and it only had two folders that showed up while browsing in the update drivers part in device manager. One was AMD86 and the other was i3 something and neither of those matched the picture in the steps but I used the link given within the same tutorial.

Ok I still cannot install the drivers. When I downloaded the file provided in that link, there are no driver options at all. There are only two folders in which I described in my previous post and neither have drivers in them. I'm no noob and have done this plenty of times, I even tried to adb reboot bootloader and it says device not found and yes USB debugging is on so I'm assuming I can't do anything until I some how install the drivers.

Which website guide are you looking at?
