I assume you are rooted, maybe try asking for superuser permissions before changing directories to SD card. From what I see is the issue is not having elevated permissions

do you rooted you device ?
it seems that the ' su ' command not found .
or do you allow the root access of terminal emulator ?

[ROOT] Mempodroid root - ICS 9.4.2.11+

** This is completely unsupported!!!!!!! **
ALL credit goes to saurik for the root method, Jason A. Donenfeld (zx2c4) for finding the exploit, alpharevx for finding the offsets and initial confirmation on the Transformer Prime and viperboy for finding it and posting it in his thread. I did not research, find, or develop this root method!
Mods, if I've done anything wrong, please feel free to remove this thread.
You will need to know how to use ADB commands, otherwise, use viperMOD PrimeTime!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
Downloads:
mempodroid binary
su binary
Root:
adb push mempodroid /data/local
adb push su /data/local
adb shell
chmod 777 /data/local/mempodroid
/data/local/mempodroid 0xd9ec 0xaf47 sh
** You should now be in a remote shell session with root (indicated by #)
mount -o remount,rw -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /system
** IF you have previously rooted your Prime, run the following two commands. They may throw an error that the file a file was not found.
rm /system/bin/su
rm /system/xbin/su
cat /data/local/su > /system/xbin/su
chown 0.0 /system/xbin/su
chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su
rm /data/local/mempodroid
rm /data/local/su
exit
exit
adb reboot
After your Transformer Prime comes up, install Superuser from android market.
HOPEFULLY everyone has learned their lesson and will also install Voodoo Rootkeeper as well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! R
Enjoi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
** Feb 21 2012 Edit **
Works on 9.4.2.14
** Feb 09 2012 Edit **
Works on 9.4.2.13
** Jan 25 2012 Edit **
Changed the mount command - thanks viperboy!
Added steps to possibly resolve issues with previously rooted systems
Changed a few steps to be a little bit easier.
**Jan 24 2012 Edit **
Some people are reporting issues with this method. I suspect this is due to previously having root or other altered files. A method that has worked for some is to update to 9.4.2.11.1 and then following the above procedures. Please note, this firmware release is unofficial and at this time THERE IS NO DOWNGRADE PATH.
i keep getting permission denied after
adb shell /data/local/mempodroid 0xd9ec 0xaf47 mount -o remount,rw '' /system
i missed a chmod step, add it just now.
run:
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/mempodroid
and then pick up right where you left off.
as i am not root nor superuser .. i don't even get access
/ $ cd data
~ $ ls
ls: can't open '.': Permission denied
after this command
adb shell /data/local/mempodroid 0xd9ec 0xaf47 sh
i got [email protected]:/ # but i cant type anything else in the dos windows after it.. can you explain further please

click on the window, you should be able to continue typing
/mnt/sdcard/Download $ adb push su /data/local
error: device not found
for some odd reason i cant type anything else after on that window..
after shell with root, i get the #, but i can't type anything afterwards. do i just repeat the process over?
edit: question was already asked, tried clicking on window, doesn't work.

hmm did everything on your post, and rebooted. already had SU so i just opened up an app that requires root (titanium backup) and it says it wasn't able to attain root?
edit: confirmed with root checker that i still don't have root

Try re-installing superuser? When I was rooted before, sometimes superuser wouldn't prompt me for SU on occasion too.

Looks like something went wrong on the first mempodroid command. Go back and start from the begining just in case. Shouldn't hurt anything.

[Q] su only working from adb on 'rooted' Galaxy Tab 2

I used clockworkmod recovery and the cwm-root-gtab2.zip package to root my Tab 2. su appears to be installed ok, and I can get root permissions by running it from an adb shell:
~ $ adb shell
[email protected]:/ $ id
uid=2000(shell) gid=2000(shell) groups=1003(graphics),1004(input),1007(log),1009(mount),1011(adb),1015(sdcard_rw),1028(sdcard_r),3001(net_bt_admin),3002(net_bt),3003(inet),3006(net_bw_stats)
[email protected]:/ $ su
[email protected]:/ # id
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=1003(graphics),1004(input),1007(log),1009(mount),1011(adb),1015(sdcard_rw),1028(sdcard_r),3001(net_bt_admin),3002(net_bt),3003(inet),3006(net_bw_stats)
[email protected]:/ # ls -la /system/bin/su
-rwsr-sr-x root shell 22364 2008-08-01 12:00 su
[email protected]:/ #
So the su binary is present and has setuid bit set on its permissions. But if I run it from a SSH session, or via a terminal emulator on the Tab itself, I get permission error:
[email protected]:/ $ su
Permission denied
1|[email protected]:/ $
Various root checking apps report similar problems. What am I doing wrong? Other threads suggest steps to recreate the su binary with the correct 6755 permissions, but as far as I can see, everything is already as it should be permissions-wise.
Thanks.
Wrong section. This here is only for Tab 1.
same problem

Well, given the description (even though the OP was for the Gtab 2), I'd try the full path to the su binary.
If "ls -l /system/bin/su shows
-rwsr-sr-x root shell 22364 2008-08-01 12:00 su
then I would try
$ /system/bin/su
and see if it works - there may be another "su" on your $PATH.
If that's not it, then check that your user account has execute permissions to /system and /system/bin

[Q] Superuser denied to shell

Hi everyone, I recently installed this ROM here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2205516&page=73&nocache=1 (unfortunately I can't post questions on that thread yet). Superuser access works fine from apps and terminal emulator, but if I try to connect from adb with "adb shell su" I get "Permission denied" on my command prompt and a "Superuser denied to shell" toast on the phone.
I can't find a way to change this, apparently the shell user can't su. I tried from the terminal emulator too and here's what happens:
Code:
[email protected]: / $ whoami
u0_a14
[email protected]:/ $ su
[email protected]:/ # whoami
root
[email protected]:/ # su - shell
[email protected]:/ $ whoami
shell
[email protected]:/ $ su
Permission denied
1|[email protected]:/ $
Any help pwetty please?

Sure it's called root, To get full time shell root you unpack your boot.img change the default.prop to insecure repack and flash.
Just like below.
Code:
[email protected]:~/Desktop$ adb shell
[email protected]:/ #

Adbd insecure app also works. In your shell, just type SU and accept the SuperSU/SuperUser prompt
