I'm following this guide to root my Droid X2:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1234907
It gives some info on things I needed into install, including the Android SDK/related driver, changing my phone's development settings, and a few guides on how to use the SDK.
However, when in the command prompt, I get permission denied as I try to follow the guide. I googled for solutions but everyone else with this problem seems to have already rooted their phone. One other guy also has this problem, and he posted in the Droid X2 forum, but nobody answered.
Anyway, I open the command prompt and type this in:
cd c:\adt\sdk\platform-tools
adb.exe
I am now able to do some commands with my phone, like "adb reboot", the phone listens to me.
But when I do step 3 of the guide, I do this
adb shell
su
I get "permission denied". Help?

I am trying to put fm radio on the droid 2 but when i try to adb remount under adb shell i get adb not found. But before i do adb shell i can see my device. HELP!!!!!

Hello!
First off, please make sure that your topics actually state what your issue is. Typing "HELP!" for a topic won't get you the response that you want, because many people skip these threads.
Okay, do you mean that you are not able to adb remount while you are IN the shell? This makes sense, because adb is an application that allows you to access your device in a Linux terminal style. If you need to use adb to remount the device, you must first exit your shell..
$exit
C:\android-sdk\adb remount
As an example. I hope this helps!

i try but i get permission denied
[APP] FM Radio for the Droid 2!! - Page 2 - xda-developers
These are the complete start to finish exact instructions.
i got it. i just had to put the bootstrap on it so would recognize i had root.
You should edit your topis to issue resolved
I did every thing as it is mentioned in the Post, but after i enter
"./misc_version -s 1.31.405.6"
it says:
"permission Denied"
any thing else i can do?
There are two reasons which came into my mind:
1) psneuter did not manage to gain root access.
Otherwise you had permissions to access /dev/block/mmcblk0p17
Did you have "#" prompt when you entered "./misc_version -s 1.31.405.6" command or was the prompt "$" ?
2) there's something wrong with /data/local/tmp/psneuter file. Maybe missing execute permission so it gives "permission Denied" when you are trying to execute it?
Copy-paste of terminal session would help a lot.
Problem solved!
I tried the procedure 3 or 4 times and in all of them I got "#" sign I do not know what was the problem but this last time it worked!
Thank You Very Much
I have the same problem!
Thank You Very Much
"ADB Shell" gives me "#" instead of "$" when rooting MyTouch Slide, why??
trying to root my MyTouch 3G Slide. Ive tried various methods from different sites to do it but they all seem to come down to running something called "ADB Shell". On the screenshots, it seems to always give you a $ prompt. When I do it, I get a # prompt. Also, anything I type after that is just repeated back to me along with another # prompt. I find where other people get the same problem but cant find any solutions with it. What am I doing wrong?

In Linux and Unix systems (Android Included) a # (Pound Symbol) signifies Root level access or su (Superuser) so since you're rooting your device this means you have done it, $ appears for any other user of the system
i have the same problem too. I'm using window xp and it giving me the # symbol instead of $. any suggestion to fix it? i have checked all the drivers, slideroot files are in androidsdk file
like Captainkrtek said, if you're getting a # for your adb shell, you ARE rooted.
root shell should look something like this:
Code:
$ adb shell
#
First to say that I'm a total newbie into this.
I'm trying to update my HTC Tattoo to Android v2.3 CyanogenMod ROM. I followed his tutorial but I got stucked on one part.
During the rooting it all goes fine untill I arrive to step 7. I type exit to exit a shell and after that when I want to type adb push su /data/local/bin/ it says adb: not found.
I googled some solutions and searched even here on forum but didnt find acceptable hints how to solve this.
And yes when when I type adb devices it comes up with one device.
Hello, I have a problem. I'm trying to do some things from my pc in the phone with the ADB Shell and not let me.
My problem is that I put adb: not found.
I do this:

Worth up here all right but when I have root permissions and everything working I put the commands and none let me get adb remount such or adb pull and nothing makes me adb: not found.
Thank you.

if everything is installed correctly then just make sure you are in the platform-tools dierectory eg.
c:\android-sdk\platform-tools\
yes, all is succesfully installed. I started adb shell with cmd of directory platform-tools\adb but when I put code adb remount or other command I appear me adb: not found
AlOpen task manager and see if any adb process is running. If there are kill them and try again :
Also verify that adb. .exe is in the platform -tools folder. Actually it might be in the tools folder if so try running adb from there...

That's not the way to use adb, so you're not following the guide you're reading correctly.
Usually the guide won't tell you to go to the shell directly, but instead typing something like: adb shell mount -o rw,remount ...
Once you type adb shell you're INSIDE the shell you don't need to call the debugger (adb) anymore...
You shouldn't follow guides without reading them completely and fully understanding them before trying anything.
And by the way you opened two threads with the same question.
