I am getting a permission denied when I try to run "adb remount".
I am running the netarchy rooted ROM.
I am Unrevoked3 and Unrevoked Forever.
So my NAND is unlocked and I am rooted. Why does it still say Permission Denied?
Install the latest version of SuperUser (look in the Market). When you try to do adb remount, or su in adb shell, look at your phone. There'll be a popup asking for permission.

In Netarchy's kernel thread he mentions something about unrevoked 3 not giving full access to root, not sure if he was just referring to the NAND or what but that may have something to do with it. If all else fails you can always go back and try rooting it manually without unrevoked.
just out of curiosity, what does your name mean? The last part looks like coder but what is azn 1337?

My leetspeak is a little rusty, but I think 1337 is 'leet' as in "elite"....and I'm guessing the young man is of Asian descent.

Installed latest version of SuperUser.
"adb remount" still saying permission denied.
"adb shell su" did ask me for permission however.

I thought Unrevoked Forever took care of the NAND not getting unlocked. It says on their website that it unlocks NAND.
Anyways, the whole reason why I went with unrevoked is because I could keep PRI 1.40_003. I had lost it when I manually rooted and had to go back to stock and then unrevoked to get it back.
I am having the same issues. I am unrevoked3 and unrevoked forever. It is always telling me either device not found or remote not allowed. As far as I can tell all of my drivers are up to date, I am fully rooted with nand unlocked, and the problem didn't start until just recently. Everything worked fine before. I will try to download an updated Superuser app and give some feedback on that when I get off work.
On a side note, does Busybox have anything to do with this sort of matter?

My problem appears to be a software/OS issue. When I wipe everything and install a stock 2.2 system, I am able to "adb remount".
My guess is that something is continually accessing the /system partition and holding a lock on it.
Does anyone know how I might check for this?
Just to clarify: yes, Unrevoked Forever does unlock NAND.
The issue must be with the rom? Try a different superuser/su...

Mmmkay, your problem is either:
1) NAND is locked still (unlikely).
2) ROM is not set up to have shells be root by default (likely).
To test, open adb shell. If you see a $, then it's #2. If you see a #, then it's probably #1. To be extra sure, if you're seeing a $, type "su" then enter, approve the su request, then do "mount -o remount,rw /system", followed by "mkdir /system/testymctest". If you get a permission error, then your NAND is not unlocked.

Thank you so much for the info. I have been searching high and low for a straight answer on this. Even though its not fixed I am much happier knowing what the issue is. Again thank you.
When I ran your test I got a $ which as you said means it is a conflict with my current ROM. So, if I flash a different ROM than I should be squared away yes? Again many thanks.

It says clearly SHIP S-OFF on my bootloader. This is the way to tell if you are Unrevoked Forever.

Everything is as you described. It is #2. and when I do the "mount -o remount,rw /system" I get permission denied.
I'm not sure how Root Explorer works, but I assume it obtains root permissions and then run the mount command as you have described above.
My NAND is unlocked, I can get to it via Root Explorer and mount it as r/w and then access it through shell. However, if I don't use Root Explorer and try the command through the shell, it doesn't work.
It seems almost like I am not getting SU permissions even though my shell changes to a #.

Hrm... Are you sure you have the latest version of ChrisDD's SuperUser from the Market, and then opened up its settings tab to make sure there's the latest su executable? That's the only thing I can think of.

Yup I did exactly that.
It's some app I installed that is doing this. I nandroided my current config, reflashed the netarchy 2.2 rooted rom and was able to get access.
Then when I installed all the rest of my apps, I suddenly lost access.
Tommorow I will start fresh again and try apps one by one.
now i got # what else
So I'm trying to get into su to run gfree_verify to make sure my permaroot S-off/SIM card unlock/SuperCID was successful, but I'm getting a permission denied error.
What happens is, I type adb shell, then I type su, there's a really long delay, then it tells me Permission Denied. However, when I run the Terminal Emulator from my phone and type in the su command, I get root access just fine.
I used the "official" method that is on the HTC Vision Wiki that is located here. The only thing, however, is that my Android SDK install wasn't installed using any type of installer. I just extracted a zip file and shoved it in a random folder. I did make sure to run the Command Prompt as Administrator before issuing the adb shell command, but I'm still unable to get superuser access through the PC. Trying to use the adb root command gives me an "adbd cannot run as root in production builds" error.
Did I do something incorrectly?
adb kill-server
adb start-server
See if that works. If not, try rebooting your computer.

Does the Superuser app seem to be installed correctly on your phone ?
Do you have the output from gfree ? I wonder if it didn't work correctly with your kernel, it doesn't work with all kernels. What ROM/kernel do you have ?
Which procedure did you use, the one in the Wiki, or one involving dd'ing the eng hboot ?

I rebooted the daemeon, computer, and also the phone. No dice.
The Superuser app is correctly installed. When I ran Adfree and attempted to go into SU in Terminal, I got the usual Allow Superuser access dialog. Both worked without any problems; like I said, I can get root access from the on-the-phone terminal, it's when I attempted to get root access from the adb shell command on my computer where I have problems.
No special ROMs, completely stock post-November OTA update. The only thing I flashed after permarooting was the Clockwork Recovery mod, but adb shell SU wasn't working before this. I initially used some outdated instructions (involving the use of the dd command, and the wpathis.ko or something). I read some more and learned these were out of dated, so I unrooted. I then used the instructions that are on the wiki using gfree to permroot.
gfree_verify works without any problems if I run it from the Terminal Emulator on my phone. Returns the proper values to indicate I'm SIM Unlocked, SuperCID, and S-off. I'm glad it works, but I still don't like the fact I can't use the adb shell. Typing characters on the G2 is a pain in the ass.
I still want to know why I can't enter superuser from the PC adb shell. Am I doing something incorrectly?
Thanks a lot for your help!
Try clearing data for the SuperUser app?
go in your recovery screen from boot, select your mount options, and mount everything lol. Not sure if it'll fix it but everytime I have adb permission issues that seems to fix it and I don't think it could hurt.

This worked perfectly! When I entered su from the command prompt, the SuperUser app popped up on the phone's side and I hit allow. It then let me through.
What exactly was broken though? Why did mounting everything from the Clockwork Recovery menu fix this?
Hi there!
I'm trying to root Ziio 7 unit I got for a review for PurePC.pl, and so far so good I installed SuperUser app and su and busybox binaries. Now using terminal I can su without any problems. But the thing is, SU only seems to be working in terminal emulator. I've tried using some apps that should use root like ShootMe and ScreenshotIt, SetCPU and they just doesn't work.
ShootMe says "Starting Server failed", plus info that i need to have root access and enabled access to lower graphics (whatever it is).
ScreenshotIt just doesn't work without any information why, and SetCPU FC's after selecting profile. Although it gets me a nice SuperUser dialog, but that's as far as it goes, cause it crashes right after that.
Am I missing something to have a complete root? Interesting thing is that on this device, preferred PATH for executable binaries is /data/busybox/, and not a usual /system/bin. Interestingly, my su binaries refused to work from /data/busybox directory, so I moved them to /system/bin. Rest of the utilities and such are still in /data/busybox, but I don't know if this information is important in any way Have I missed something along the way? Please help. Cheers.
OK, I know why su gave me permission denied when running from /data/busybox. The /data partition was mounted with nosuid. But still the applications such as ShootMe won't work.
I waiting for. If who has a good new. Please tell me to private message.
Have you made any progress on this bagienny?
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.
http://www.acertabletforum.com/foru...ssion/1167-rooting-iconia-a100-made-easy.html
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.

Build Acer_A100_2.007.04_COM_GEN1
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.
Hi,
i have a rooted Desire Z currently running CM9 RC2, and I've noticed recently that my # shell has been replaced by a [email protected]:/ and it seems like I don't have root access there. I can't ls in /data/ for example, and su throws a permission denied error. However, apps that require root access(such as Titanium Backup) still seem to work. I noticed this happen right after I installed and ran Busybox. I did not even install busybox from the app as I already have it. I was just trying to get the apk file for another device with no internet access. I'm not sure if this app is what caused it, but it was when I noticed it.
In any case, short of a nandroid restore how do I get back shell root access and the proper shell?
Thanks.
Most likely your root access under System Settings -> Development was changed from "ADB and Apps" to "Apps Only".
PS: why would you be installing busybox, CM9 came with it (likewise with superuser and su).
Thanks. That worked.
Like I mentioned in my original post

Sorry for the confusion, by running busybox I meant simply launching the Busybox app(which is just an installer, not busybox itself), but not clicking the "install busybox" button in the app to actually install busybox on my phone.
