Quick way to check if rooted?

I did the rooting process, but I'm not sure if it worked. I have the Superuser Permissions app if that counts for anything, which I have read means that I did root it correctly but I just want to double check.

Try downloading terminal emulator and type in "su" and if that box comes out of allow of don't allow click allow and u know if ur rooted

Ok I downloaded it typed su then it said allow or deny and i allowed, so I am rooted?

just to clarify, if youre gonna use Terminal to check Root run Terminal, allow permission, and type SU as Javi97100 states.... now if in Terminal it shows # sign after entering SU, then you have root.
i do believe however, if "Superuser Permissions" is in the apps list Root has been achieved

Great thanks. What would you recommend now, I flashed before but I didn't do it right I think. Should I try flashing again and what do I do before hand.

Why don't you think you did it right? Do you see the "superuser permissions" app in the app drawer/list? When you type "su" in the terminal emulator do you get a hash mark (#) instead of a $?

I think maybe he's talking about flashing a custom rom.

This is how it looks
Code:
export PATH=/data/local/bin:$PATH
$ $su

Is that right?

Yes, you are rooted.

Ok and after that all it is is flashing with which ever ROM I choose and if I don't like it I can just restore with the nandroid backup up and it'll be like nothing happened right?

You need to use something like Root Explorer to do that.

btw i try to run desktop virtualizer and also this program said that she dont have the right permission do to so. :<
thanks for your's help , mate ! :]

Do you have SDK installed? If so, just open up a command prompt and use:
Code:
adb shell
mount -o rw,remount /system
rm *insert path to specific file you want to remove*
Ctrl+C
exit

Unable to "push su" in rooting my Xoom (push: not found) - any ideas?

So I just got to one of the final steps in rooting my xoom, but for some reason, when I enter the "push su /system/bin/" command, I get a "push: not found" response. I'm completely stuck at this step...anyone have any ideas on this one??

Was adb remount succesful before you tried?

I ran in to this. Make sure your Xoom is not on the lock screen. Should be good to go.

Yes, adb remount was in fact successful.
Edit - now I'm getting "cannot stat 'su': No such file or directory"

just to be clear, is it supposed to be:
adb push su /system/bin/
or
adb shell push su /system/bin/
???

syntax is "adb push ..."

thats what I thought, and when I do this I get the "cannot stat 'su': No such file or directory" error message.
I have no idea what's going on here. Its almost as if I dont have the xoomroot files (including su) in the correct place, but they are there in the SDK tools folder as they are supposed to be. UGH!?!!?

Make sure that one of the following is true:
the files you want to push are in the same folder as adb
adb is in your path and you are in the directory that the files are
Also make sure you are running this from your computer and not the Xoom, although it sounds like you are bumping into one of the two scenarios above.

yes they are in the same folder as adb, and I'm in the adb directory while in terminal. still getting the same error message. I'm so lost on this one.

Is there any chance that the unlock didn't take? Though I can't see how it didn't - I went through the entire procedure, answered all the prompts during fastboot, and it did erase/reset the tablet afterwards, so I'm guessing that isn't it.

Any chance you can screenshot your sdk tools folder

They're supposed to be in the 'platform-tools' folder, not tools. The files go in the same folder as adb so it knows where they are.

I know, but I had already moved adb into the tools folder earlier on. So they are in the same folder.

Do you have the 3.0 sdk installed
Wait I see the problem after you remounted you have to direct it back into your tools foledr before doing the adb push command

all I know is that i have the latest sdk installed, but are you referring to something additional to that? such as "SDK Platform Android 3.0, API 11, revision 1" ?

After u did adb remount it took you back to your main folder make sure you direct it back to your tools folder then run the adb push command and problem will be solved

So I just did the remount again (successfully), and now instead of just entering "adb push ...", I would need to do what?
EDIT - just tried this, and got this result:
Joseph-Olesweskis-iMac:~ olesweski$ /Users/olesweski/Desktop/android-sdk-mac_x86/tools adb push su /system/bin/

Did you unzip it and put it in root of your sdcard? Which method did you use? Anyways follow my instructions below.
HKM said:
Well since you are up to the PermROOT I take it you have TempROOT, if so as you saying you have root.sh in root dir inside /sdcard so it would look like /sdcard/root/root.sh for the absolute path. Also you have console right? If not go download Terminal Emulator. Then type in "su" and press enter SU=Super User or @wheel,root permission base. Then use "cd /sdcard/root" press enter CD = Change Directory. Then do "sh root.sh" and press enter as sh is shall execute command. So it would look like this below:
su
cd /sdcard/root
sh root.sh

Process for turning S back on[/COLOR]
Download this file and unzip it to /sdcard on your device.
unroot.rar
http://www.mediafire.com/?12oi5elu7v2y8og
md5sum: aad4e64126cf8d92d7e8b5abb48fdadd
Terminal Emulator Method
1. Open up terminal editor on your device.(I prefer this method b/c you can see the output.)
a. Type "su" + enter to gain root privileges.
b. Type "cd /sdcard/unroot" + enter.
c. Type "sh unroot.sh" + enter.
d. Follow the onscreen prompts.
File Explorer Method
2. Open root explorer, sufbs, or some other file browser with root access.
a. Navigate to /sdcard/unroot.
b. Click on unroot.sh and allow it to run. Some file browsers ask permission before they execute scripts.
c. Wait 18 to 20 seconds and reboot your phone into the bootloader to check if S=on.
You now have S=ON again.
Since we opened up the nand to writes you should still retain persistent root privileges.
Hope this makes it all easier for you.
Cheers --grankin01
For everyone that is have trouble writing to the protected areas of the system after following the rooting procedures.
Reboot into Clockwork recovery and choose the mounts and storage option. From there choose mount system (or whichever protected directory you want access to) and click the trackpad. When unmount system shows you have rw access to the /system directory and all of its subs.

Look for PD15IMG.ZIP . It contains the stock rom. Just put that on the root of the sdcard. It will wipe everything. It's on a sticky in the dev forums. You just boot into hboot and follow the on screen promps.
If you are talking about the program then just uninstall it .
