So what DO you see when you type 'su' How do you know your phone is rooted, ie. The one click solution for tethering over wifi looks juicy but this backup needs to be done.Īpppreciate the suggestions so far. I'm simply trying to backup my phone with SirPsycho recovery from sholes. Do you have a 'Superuser Permission' app in your app list? Yes I do have the superuser app and no I have not used the terminal emu. Are you getting permission denied when typing su into a terminal emulator on the phone itself too? Aaronr Member. I have rooted the thing, however I dont see any pop up asking to give permission for root access. Well, as the title suggest in not getting permission in adb to do dirty things to my droid.
