Using Terminal Emulator

How do I use the up arrow key when I run Terminal Emulator so that I can execute the previous command ?
I have swype installed but can change it if necessary.
Is there a list of shortcuts that I could use and try out in the shell ?
What shell is it actually running in Android ? echo $SHELL does'nt say anything

Can't flash AmonRA?

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.

[Q] superuser permission

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?
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium

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?

How to run terminal emulator

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

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
