Rooted and using CM9 but adb shell su doesn't work? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I triy to type "adb shell" in cmd which works but upon typing "su", it throws me a: "permission denied" and on the screen it says: "shell has been denied Superuser permissions.
In the superuser app, there is no record of ever accepting or denying "shell" and clearing Superuser's apk data doesn't help. Everything else related to root works besides giving adb root permissions.
What to do? In some other forum, someone said it was kernel related?

You need to go to settings then developers options and enable root access to adb.

Not running CM9 anymore, though, but I have no such option? I'm running stock.

Stock rom does not come rooted, so having that option under stock settings menu wouldnt make any sense.
And you still remember that you opened this because of a feature of cm9, that you were not familiar with at the time?

Well obviously I have rooted my phone and now when I tried that command again (for like the 30th time) it magically worked.
I don't know why, though. "Shell" couldn't seem to get superuser permissions when everything else that required root worked perfectly?

If youre talking about stock, Kernel/boot.img is secure
But it should work.

I've never understood what the difference between "secure" and "insecure" boot.img is.

[Q] Problem with adb remount

OK I know this problem has been posted hundreds times before but i've read several of them but still can't find out what i did wrong. SO: I got my G2 rooted with S-OFF as i looked in the bootloader. I rooted the phone using rage method. So if i have my S-OFF that's obviously that i am rooted right?
And I definitely have my adb set up right cuz i could not root my phone if i didn't have adb set up. The question is Why every time I try to do adb remount, it will keep saying remount failed operation not permitted.
Even when I try doing adb shell and su it would say access denied too.
Just a little frustrating, What can i do to fix this?

I am not %100 if this is your problem but i think you need ENGINEERING HBOOT
to run adb commands ,you can do it by reading the wiki http://forum.xda-developers.com/wik...Z.2FG2.2FDHD.29_-_OPTIONAL_and_UNNECESSARY.21
But if you want to do it be very very carefull becasue if you do it wrong you will brick your phone and there is no way back
S-OFF is different from having your phone rooted, so it sounds like your rooting hasn't worked. If you have S-OFF and the eng hboot, you could use fastboot to flash Clockwork recovery and then install a custom pre-rooted ROM.
Or you will need to go through the rooting procedure again to see what has gone wrong.

If that's the case that my phone hasn't been rooted. My rom manager worked. I flashed clock work successfully and I did checked that I had it by rebooting into recovery. I even used n1 torch high brightness to make sure I was rooted. Then extra step was asking su in my terminal emulator too. But I still had hboot.img tho. Should I do an engineering hboot ?

Should fix any problems with mounting, heres a link for a stock rooted rom, so she wont be able to tell the diffrence, also since you can boot into CWM recovery make a backup of your current rom before flashing this:

The ADB remount command requires the ro.secure property to be set to 0 (even if you are rooted). If you want to remain on the stock ROM, flashing the linked ROM will do it for you (and is way easier than doing it yourself manually). Most (if not all) of the custom ROMs will set this property for you if you wanted to try others as well.
Thank you guys very much. I never faced this problem before since my n1 was rooted and flashed rom using the phone not adb our anything related to computer.so thanks guys. Case closed. Happy me lol

[Q] Removing a r/o system app

I am trying to remove the SPG.apk (I believe that's Verizon's tether block application) from a stock rom that is already installed on my phone. I tried using root explorer however it won't let me. I believe there is a way to use adb to do this? If so, what would the command lines be?
use
Code:
adb uninstall <package name>

To delete anything off the /system partition in root explorer, you need to mount the it r/w first. There is a button on the top that should say "Mount R/W". You need to press that before deleting anything.
Root Explorer will let you remove anything you want.
Provided you click the Mount R/W button in the top right first.....

I wasn't sure if root explorer would function as a normal file manager without root. Especially considering he said he is running s stock rom.

Nope. It won't run without root. The developer has another file explorer called "Explorer" as opposed to "Root Explorer", and that one runs without root.

Superuser doesn't show prompt to allow permissions

Hello all, I tried searching through some threads but couldn't find anything. I have racings ics build on my phone and I was able to install superuser but for some reason when I try to open root explorer or TB the prompt to allow the apps doesn't show up. I've tried updating superuser and wiping cache and fixing permissions. Has anyone had this problem?

[Q] MOD Question? Will this work for our phone?

Will this mod posted at the original inc. work for our phone as well?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1621808
Before I flashed it I figured I would see if anyone tried it out.
It shouldn't hurt anything to try it. Just do a backup in recovery first then flash. If you have any problems you can easily go back that way. Only way to know for sure if it'll help with battery life is to try it. There should be no ill effects with doing so. Worst case scenario would be a bootloop in which case you have your backup. Next worse case... It does nothing for you.

Ok Cool. I wasn't sure what negative things could happen if I flashed it. Thanks for clearing that up for me. I'm going to flash it tomorrow and see how it goes.
Just fyi, I went a head and set it up on mine with no issues. Can't say anything for battery life yet, too early to tell.

I just flashed it on MIUI no problems, but I don't think it is compatible with this rom.
I ran "grep busybox /init.rc" in terminal and it is giving me permission denied.
I am assuming MIUI is not support "init.d".
Do you know if your cm 7.2 is supported by this?

Type su before the command. I believe miui has init.d support though. I've never run it myself though. But I think it does.

When you put in the command, did you get a superuser popup or permission granted notification?

Massive fail! Need help!

So i was going to flash over a 4.4 rom to my Galaxy nexus, but since i was very tierd i didn't pay to much attention to what i was doing. I flashed in the rom but forgot to flash in the gapps, and for some reason CWM got deleted. So now im running 4.4 with no gapps and no CMW. And that's not all.. the worst thing is that my usbport seems to be broken, i can't connect with usb to my computer so i cant put anything on the phone.
Is there anyway i can fix this problem? Or is my nexus officialy dead :crying:
If you have the Play Store app, or a browser so that you can get to the Play Store, and you still have root, you could download two free apps: Goo Manager, which has ROMs and gapps which you can download, and Recovery Tools, which allows you to flash CWM or TWRP.

If your usb port is dead, you may not be in a great situation. Your best bet if it works, is to go into fastboot and flash recovery again.
If you are rooted but have broken USB you have other options. You could sideload apps, transfer via wifi or just browse to them on the internet (not sure if your ROM came with a browser). An app that can install a custom recovery would be ideal, Goo Manager, ROM Manger, or something like that (maybe there are better options here, I am a little out of the loop on these apps). You could also download the proper GApps.
If you aren't rooted and you don't have functional USB, you indeed may have an issue. Fixing the USB may be your only solution.

You can try ADB over WiFi if you can confirm you are rooted.
Download the file flash_image in your PC from here and also download CWM recovery from here and then follow these steps:
Extract the flash_image.zip to a folder name say XYZ
Then in your phone, goto developers option and enable ADB over network. Make sure your PC and Mobile are on same WiFi network. After you enable it, you will get and ip:host (e.g 192.168.x.x:5555)
Now on your PC, copy both downloaded files to XYZ folder and do a shift+right click and select "Open Command Window here" and execute following code.
Code:
adb connect 192.168.x.x:5555
adb root
adb push flash_image /data/local
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/flash_image
adb push recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.3-maguro.img /data/local/
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.3-maguro.img
adb shell /data/local/flash_image recovery /data/local/recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.3-maguro.img
If this goes successful, your recovery is back. Try rebooting to recovery to confirm that.
Wish you luck :good:
P.S The issue is caused due to ROM as it this particular ROM flashes stock recovery over your custom recovery :silly:
