[Q] ADB issue

I'm attempting to get webtop from HDMI to work and attempted the install.bat thing but still nothing so I went to
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12580345&postcount=634
I can push those files but can not SU in adb shell
I am able to SU in terminal on my phone but not the adb shell
What can I do to get this working? I'm not sure what info you need from my phone to better assist but ask.
I'm running 2.2.2 rooted with gingerbreak I tried to reroot but no go don't think i need too and superuser app is there and works since i use TB and bloat freeze
I just get permission denied thanks for any help. I have googled this but can't find anything.
could you maybe have a problem with ADB itself? Maybe try reinstalling your SDK and setting up ADB again? You said you already tried to re-root and that didnt fix the issue. Maybe someone with more knowledge of ADB could provide more assistance...
I managed to get it working. I noticed when I had my screen set to not turn off i received a message to all access and I granted SU now it works fine.

[Q] What is required for root access? (Droid X, 2.3.3)

I have a Motorola Droid X on Android 2.3.3.
Motorola One Click Root goes all the way through and says that the phone should be rooted, but it never is. Here is the alternate method I attempted:
First I used SuperOneClick 2.2 in "Shell Root" mode to get the superuser (#) prompt in adb shell. From there I was able to mount the /system folder for read/write access.
I then copied, "chmodded" and --installed busybox to /system/xbin/.
Next I copied su to /system/bin and changed its permissions to 0755.
Finally, I installed a Superuser.apk
I still get no superuser prompts when I run a root app or type "su" in adb.
What am I missing?
U need to reset your phone and try all over again
Try to wipe/erase the application data of your root app and/or Superuser app, and try again to see if Superuser prompt will popup.
Several days ago, I upgrade ROM of my phone, and restored data and applications, then rooted, but when I type 'su' in Terminal Emulator application, it will wait for a few seconds and failed with "permission denied" error. I use strace to try to figure out why, I noticed that the real UID (10083) of Terminal Emulator application is not as same as the one (10069) send to Superuser. So I wiped the application data and Superuser application data (in fact, I also reinstalled them), then Superuser will prompt when executing 'su' command.

[Q] BusyBox, unable to confirm location

Hello all,
So I am trying to install Flashex script to run some flash through DolphinBrowser. In the Process of doing that I installed BusyBox, SManager and Terminal Emulator
The problem is that everytime I try to run the Flashex in either Terminal Emulator or SManager i get the error message " Unable to confirm location of Busybox, please make sure you have busybox installed"
I have, busy box installed, re-installed it, tried installing it in /system/bin but to no avail.
I tried to reconfigure Terminal preferences as per this thread but still get same error message
I would greatly appreciate some help here as I am no expert in the inner workings of Android
PS: Device is Galaxy S4 Rooted with CF Autoroot and still on Stock ROM.

Help on how to do this commands !

Hello sir! I just wana ask question on how to run commands like this
su -c /system/etc/CrossBreeder/REMOVE_TETHER_BOOST
i've seen this in the Cross Breeder thread. I just wanna try it to reduce the lag on my phone and maybe also to speed it up!
but if i came across with this unexpected problems . i really dont know how to run this commands. so i just wanna ask . how do i run commands like that? THANKS IN ADVANCE
These commands are run via a terminal emulator on your phone. For this command, your phone have to be rooted.
Alternatively, you can use adb shell. To do so, you have to download the android sdk or google for adb for just downloading the relevant part of it, then you have to run adb root to get root privileges (the adb binary can be found under Path/to/Android-SDK/platform-tools) and adb shell to get a root shell. There you have to type in /system/etc/CrossBreeder/REMOVE_TETHER_BOOST (the su -c is not needed there because you already have root privileges).
