I was using Terminal Emulator today and requested su but accidentally tapped "Deny" when I was asked to give root privileges. However, the "Remember" box was also checked, so, now it won't even prompt me and just say "Permission Denied"
So, where can I set revert this **** I did?
EDIT: Ok, I got it. I just wiped the superuser app's data.

besides that all you needed to do was open superuser application. and it will show you list of applications select terminal and say delete.

I rooted following the 10 minute root video, however forgot to remove a lot of those junk system apps, like CityID. I cannot get back into SU while in recovery, no matter what I do. How do I get back into the shell in recovery so I can remove all the bloatware?
I can get the error message:
- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory
however i cannot seem to get back into the shell where I can access SU and remove the bloatware, anyone have any ideas on what im missing?

I'm in the exact same boat as you. I don't know where to go from here.
run update.zip and let it fail again then you caN adb shell su
hmm doesnt seem to work for me
in order to get the back to adb shell in recovery, you have to go through the whole root process again. Then once you have snuck in the payload-update.zip and it has successfully installed it, you are able to do adb shell.
i had to run do the hole process over again to get su so i could remove cityid after root.
i used the 1.bat file as in the utube video for noobs.

not cool lol, took me 3 hours to get the things to work with my sd card haha not worth it.
that is the only way
They are correct, you must do it all again, but look for a PNY 4gig class 4 sd. I tried hundreds of times over a 3 day period to do it and it worked first time and every time with this card.
when I run terminal emulator in the OS on the phone, and type su, the super user app grants it permission. Would we be able to delete system apps from there?
There is also another terminal app in the market for 1.99, listed as being for that purpose, so, has anyone tried it?
I don't have anything else I want to delete at the moment, since I got rid of cityid at the recovery adb prompt.

The nand is locked down when you are in the main OS, so no, it would not work. You would need to do the re-root to gain access to /system/ as recovery is the only place where we are able to access it right now.

I can get su access while in the OS. No problem on that. And I tried to delete teeter.apk, but got the "read only" message. So, I mounted it as read-write with
Code:
/system/bin/mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
that went fine too, but when I tried to delete teeter.apk, i got "rm failed, directory not empty"... but I'm not trying to delete a directory...
I guess the "nand is locked" and that's why, but... "the nand is locked" doesn't mean much to me, as I have no clue what that means
I searched around several threads and saw a few people with the same issue but no fixes.
I rooted my phone using this and it worked great.
I then installed clockwork manager from here and then installed the clockwork recovery and made my nandroid.
So far so good.
I booted up and then checked the terminal emulator app i had installed and did:
Code:
$su
and got
Code:
#
So, all good.
I then went to remove some of the bloatware by using adb.
When I do adb shell I get the $ prompt.
I type in "su" without quotes and after a few seconds i get "Permission denied".
Seems like i fudged something somewhere but I am not sure what.
Anyone able to offer some constructive help?
Make sure your phone is unlocked when you type su in adb shell, and a superuser permission should pop up.
many thanks for that!
i have been on a rooted G1 with CM for so long that i forgot to even look at my phone when i "adb shell...su" into it =)
did it just now and looked at the phone and the superuser permissions window came up. all set.
thanks again!

You may have to run visionary and reboot a few more times to make root privileges stick.
My MyGlacier 4G MINE!!!
Try this:
: adb shell (this should give $)
:$ su (next line type su, this should give you prompt on Super user to allow permission)
:# ( once you get this your good)

Try to install visionary and then re install open click temp root then permoot super user should ask to approve click yes. After that restart

Please post questions in Q&A forum. Thank you
ok everytime i try adb shell in terminal emulator it says the permission denied, im gonna try the first reply again and then see....any other ideas?
also guys, when i try and run visionary again it says your device is already rooted, along with when i type su in TE, it gives # with superuser permissions quote showing on bottom of screen, but i was trying to run adb commands from pc or from te and they still show permission denied. SetCPU works.

Ok, go into adb shell and type su + enter. Watch your phone when you do this. Superuser should ask if you want to allow "unknown" root privileges. "unknown" is adb. Click allow and your problems should go away.

I ran into this same issue and it drove me crazy. I would not get prompted by the phone to allow su permissions when going through ADB- kept getting "permission denied"
I did finally get SU permissions through ADB, but I dont recall exactly what I did to get prompted to allow access.
I will try to retrace what I did... believe I had ADB shell running (without su permissions "$"), but I also had terminal emulator running on my phone. I entered the su command on my phone, then I did the same from ADB shell.
Finally the phone prompted me to allow access - accepted - and no problems from that point.
Basically, I just had to keep f'n with it.
Yeah thats my problem exactly. Yeah I appreciate any assistance you can provide. I mean my pc reads my device when I adb devices command, but it wont allow nothing past that. Please keep me informed on anything I can try, also im not thag most fluent with using sdk/adb stuff so any additional info with using that is much appreciated thanks again fellow enthusiasts!

Have you tried to bacup su, then uninstall su. Reinstall su, Then try it again. MIGHT work
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
yeah i re-installed su and didnt help, @dbiggs-what can i do thru adb to initiate the su permissions to the device like you did?
I wish I could help more specifically, but I dont remember exactly what I did that allowed me access- just kept trying
Maybe try this...(dont be offended if any of these steps are ones that you already know or have tried, I am just trying to be as thorough as I can from memory)
Open up super user, then go back to the terminal emulator and enter the "su" command to gain superuser permissions.
Plug the phone into the computer, select charge only, enter ADB through tools (probably "C:\Android\tools" if your Android folder is in the root of your harddrive).
from the prompt C:\Android\Tools, enter:
adb shell
then you will get the "$" that you mentioned.
enter the "su" command, and hopefully you will get prompted to allow superuser permissions for ADB.
I am pretty sure these are the steps that I took, just had to keep trying.
Lemme know how it works out.
I see some people here asking about getting su privileges in adb, however I do have SU and I can run su in adb shell. My problem is that I am trying to push some files and use Android Commander. I can't run "adb remount" (remount failed: Operation not permitted), I can't copy files in Android Commander (it's says that I do not have ROOT)
How can I get Read-Write in ADB ??
Edit: Oh, now I got it, I don't have root in ADB, when i type "adb root" it says "adbd cannot run as root in production builds"
Did anyone figure this out? I'm being denied on TE and PC also.
I have managed to be able to get around this issue by going into recovery mode on my phone.
If the end result that you are looking for is to adb push files, then the easier way to do this is to flash clockwork recovery to your phone, then start your phone into recovery mode, mount system and you should be able to push files no problem.
Lemke know if this helps.

I'm pretty sure your issue has nothing to do with SU access. Most likely, your phone is simply mounting as r/o (read only) when it boots up, so ADB is unable to change anything to the system folder. The easiest way to mount as r/w (Read/Write) is to go into Root Explorer and click the r/w button in the top right corner, and then go to ADB and see if it will allow you to do the same commands that it previously denied.
I have the same issue with my phone mounting as r/o by default, but I haven't been able to figure out how to automount as r/w on the MT4G. If anyone knows how, please share.
I had this same issue, on several android phones including MT4G. Here is how I fixed it.
1. Connect phone via usb (I was in "charge only" mode, not disk drive mode)
2. Open command prompt and navigate to the android tools folder
3. type "adb shell"
4. MAKE SURE YOUR PHONE SCREEN IS ON AND UNLOCKED
- The above step is very important otherwise you will not get the SU prompt
5. At the "$" prompt type "su"
6. Your phone should now display the SU screen asking you to allow the connection root access.
7. Once you allow it, you are golden.
I did this on a windows pc. Hope it helps.
When I type su into terminal emulator it says "unknown root user". How do I fix this, so i could get permission granted again?
Well, I am a noob, but when you rooted, it should have created a superuser program... run that, delete all permissions, and try again.... mine did that, and once I really approved it, it was fine

Assuming I root my Nexus S and install su.
Does any application that wish to use it can just use it or there's some kind of popup that asks me for password or at least confirmation ?
If not sound like a too big of a risk to root

The superuser app will give you a pop-up and ask for permission. You can set some apps to always have permission, and you can revoke whenever you want through the superuser app. The app is in addition to the binary that actually gives su rights.
Superuser asks permission even for adb from the terminal, so I think it's pretty good protection.
You also get a notification bar or toast message every time an app gets granted su rights.
I don't feel unsafe on my rooted phone.

All right, sounds decent.
Thank you.
As I observe in my unrooted Nexus S, su comes pre-installed in Nexus S. Unlike Samsung captivate (unrooted) where, if you run su on adb shell, you get 'command not found', in the Nexus S, I received the message 'Permission denied'
Su is not pre installed in the nexus s. If it where then it would be no need to install it as part of the root process.

[email protected] is your phone an out of the box new purchase? If you really do have su installed already, you might have gotten someone's returned unit.
