How do i give my app SU permission?

im writing an app and it requires root permissions, can anyone help me out?

Normally you execute "sh" to open a shell and then you keep streaming commands to it.
The only difference is that you need to use "su" instead of "sh"
See http://code.google.com/p/netmeterle...statusled/utilclasses/ChargingLEDLib.java#295 for an example

Thank you so much!

How does one get su in ADB?

I am rooted with S-OFF on the phone. But, unlike the Vibrant, adb denies me su access when I enter "su" at the $ prompt. Anyone else see this?

Once you enter ADB through the SDK tools if I remember right, just start out with the 'su' command- I just caught it a couple days ago in one of the mt4g rom threads under the android development section- maybe a search for 'su' in those threads- I can't take the time to look right now- I'm @ work

Some roms connect by default as Su over adb... if you see a $ your regular user, # is root prompt...
If you have a $ and you get denied still, go to your Su app and confirm that adb has Su permission or at least isn't denied...

Thanks for the replies so far. ADB is not listed in the su app. How do I add that? Wouldn't it be the daemon that needs root access?
EDIT: Got it. Duh! It would help if I look at the phone while requesting root access. Thanks!

yes it should.... i was wanting you to check that it was not in there with specific permission to deny...
youll need to hit allow on the phone just like any SU call BTW...

Editing my post while you posted. Thanks!

Confused me too the first time.... I got it figured out pretty quick tho....
Give a look at wireless adb its super sweet! Market wireless adb...

Do you have Widget Locker installed?

I do not. from market?
edit: found it, is there a free way to do it?

All You have to do is create a file named "enable_glass_lock" and put it in /data/local
If you need step by step on this I can tell you multiple ways (some easier then others, but the easy ones may cost for certain apps, such as root explorer)

I can't find /local in my data folder

Wtf really?
It should be there. What are you using to look?
Root explorer?
Try terminal. You can use any free terminal emulator from the market. Use thee commands
$ su
# ls
This should show a list of directories
then:
# CD data
# ls
Again a list should show up and local should be there.
You can also try to change to the local directory to see if you get any errors :
# CD local
If you can CD to local then it exists and you are either not looking properly or whatever app you are using doesn't see it. Terminal is sure fire way to see if it exists.

ADB question

I have a question regarding the adb push command. Can the same thing be accomplished by moving files with root explorer? For example, adb push randomfile.xxx system/data, can I just move the file to system/data with root explorer? Sorry if my command lines are incorrect, im going off memory. Thanks

Yes you can do the same thing with any thing like Super Manager, root Explorer or Android Commander.

Thanks for the reply

sh deleted

Guys,I was trying to unroot my tf because I am going to send it to RMA and I deleted bin/sh.
Now I am in android 3.0.1, unroot and without that file. Can someone upload a sh file so I can push it by adb?
EDIT: I have found a sh file but when I try to push it into system/bin, terminal says me that it is only read. What can I do?

for write accsess to /system you need root.

how about using nvflash?
