Android: adb: Permission Denied

Question

Whatever I type after adb shell it fails with Permission denied:

D:\\android-sdk-windows\\platform-tools>adb shell find /data -na         


        

Answer 1

The reason for "permission denied" is because your Android machine has not been correctly rooted. Did you see $ after you started adb shell? If you correctly rooted your machine, you would have seen # instead.

If you see the $, try entering Super User mode by typing su. If Root is enabled, you will see the # - without asking for password.
