looks like your first cd command should be (with quotes):
cd "SD Card"
Then try :
cd ubuntu
*sigh* No, didn't work.

When using the CD command, have you tried CD /sdcard/ubuntu and if you have, have you tried to do LS? this will allow you to list out your current directory and allow you to see if the file is there. IF the file is there when you do LS in the directory, you will need to do "ls -l" which means, in laymen terms, "Please Show Me The Permissions Of The Files Here!" and I will direct you towards this walkthrough to help you understand what a little better what it displays -- LS -L and what it does.
This will allow you to make sure that you have permission to look at that folder. IF you do not... then you will be able to change the permissions using CHMod (also in that link). I have a feeling that you do not have the ability to see it and this is what is hindering your ability to CD into the file. Give it a try and good luck

LS -L and what it does.
You're right, I can't seem to change it to chmod 777. When I enter it, it gives me back the same thing but then when I ls -l to check, the permissions haven't been set..

Hello everyone,
Been following posts here for a little while and I'm aware there is no right place to post this question. I have a rogers SGH-I727R which was rooted via SuperOneClick. After attempting to reinstall busybox I lost root access and can't quite seem to get it back. I've tried going through SuperOneClick to unroot/root however the program hangs and I'm forced to kill the process. The following are my results from "Root Checker Pro":
Superuser Application Status:Superuser application - version 3.0.7 - is installed!System File Properties for Root Access:Standard LocationCheck Command: ls -l /system/bin/su:Result: lrwxrwxrwx root root 2012-01-03 21:20 su -> /system/bin/busyboxAnalysis: File: su is a symbolic link pointing to another file: /system/bin/busyboxStandard LocationCheck Command: ls -l /system/xbin/su:Result: -rwsr-sr-x root root 22228 2012-01-0301:53*suAnalysis: Setuid attribute present and root user ownership present.

I apologize for the messy format. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

I could not get SuperOneClick to work after I did the ota update to 2.3.6 with my original SR.
I had to exchange that phone and my replacement is on 2.3.5
SuperOneClick worked on my 2.3.5 phone first try.

Never mind. Just saw your reply above.
Not sure about the LTE HD.
Yes it does. The recovery tar is for i727 skyrocket. Dont try it on a different device. I not sure what to tell you as you have a different device.
Hello
I have upgraded my TF300T with the last ASUS update (4.2.1).
After the upgrade, I have a partially rooted device.
All the apps already declared in the whitelist of Superuser are still gaining the root permission (root explorer...). But any new installed applications cannot access root
After a few hours of research with google I found that supersuser app is not compatible with Android 4.2 but I didn't any clue to repair that.
[UPDATE] Solution in post 4
Thx
Re: [Q] New 4.2.1 update + root partially lost with Superuser App
Do not uninstall anything that has root! I had the same problem when updating from ICS earlier in year. Will post update when I find my notes.

Check out this thread - you can see where I thanked the poster near the end. I downloaded the binary as instructed. I use ES File Explorer. I checked the permissions of the installed su. I then copied the new binary replacing the old one. I checked permissions again. I don't remember if I had to change them or not but they were the same when I was done. I then believe I updated the binary from the market. Lastly with fingers crossed I rebooted. For me root was completely restored and I was good to go.

Thanks for your reply but it does not work for me.
Solution
After several tries, I found a way to solve my problem.
As it could be useful for some other people, here are the steps to repair your root
All credit goes to Koush for the fix
Requirements : adb / su binary
Follow this link and dowload su binary on your computer
Extract the contents to a folder
Start a cmd window
Run adb shell
In adb shell type
Code:
/system/bin/su
Check you are root (id or # prompt)
Remount system as RW
Code:
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /system
Open a new CMD window and push the su binary from step 1 to the internal storage
Code:
adb push <your path>\su /sdcard/
From the adb session where you got root, type
Code:
mv /system/bin/su /system/bin/su.back
cat /sdcard/su > /system/bin/su
chmod 6755 /system/bin/su
Done (maybe reboot)
If it does not work for you, you can restore your old binary if you prefer...

Is there any way to do this from a terminal app on the device? I just updated and had this happen. I'm suprised more people didn't have an issue/ no general warning went out.
After I have succesfull root and unroot my terminal doesn't show any output only error messages. I'm also unable to re-root my device. When I copy psneuter to /data/local/tmp the terminal doesn't give any message nor an error message but psneuter isn't copy. I have verified it by createing in a file in /data/local/tmp and copy it to my sdcard. Gingerbreak doesn't work either and gives error "Couldn't extract asset". I have an orphaned su on my device but it has only user rights. Is there a way I can fix my terminal and re-root my device? Uh!
Are you sure the issue is not with the terminal app ?
you can try other terminal app to confirm

I tried many things I also tried a different terminal app to no avail. The solution was to copy a working busybox. I think toolbox would work, too. My busybox was out-of-order and toolbox was also replaced with busybox! As a result many blobs didn't work and the terminal was black. Su did work because it a standalone applet. Adb push to /data/local/tmp worked, too, but the terminal was black and many applet not working.
Morning All,
I've been looking around for a stock Lollipop 5.1.1 Rom for the Xperia Z5 but haven't come across one yet, are there preferred site to browse for stock roms?
Also, is anyone aware of how to boot into recovery mode? Does a stock Sony Rom for Lollipop have it enabled?

Could you call *#*#2673#*#* in dial app?
If it doesn't blocked by security, we can enable non-secure ADB thanks to new app in Z5 system.
Does anyone know if someone working on a root method

Hello AndroPlus, sorry if this is noob question but could you explain what is it non secure adb and for what exactly it is useful? I tried dial that number and i was able to get into core settings menu with option switch non secure adb on but im still not sure what does it mean exactly and google is pretty silent about this as i can't find any informations about it

You can use # (root) in adb shell if non secure adb is enabled.
We have to find how to disable dm-verity and ric to mod system partition, though...

Nice,that's interesting, I owned every single Xperia Z and red alot about rooting on each single model but never heard about non secure adb.
But now I am huge fan of non secure adb,i hope someone will find how to disable ric!

Does that mean you can backup TA partition in adb shell using dd command?

Yes, if it works.
Sometimes security feature blocks root to do any actions (they are stronger than root...), so someone should try it first.

You are not root, you are shell user.
You are using secure ADB.
I run 'adb root' but it did not change anything
And 'su' returns 'command not found'
After unsecuring ADB is it possible to push su and busybox via ADB with a computer

Not that I could see. I tried a few commands which didn't work but even if you did dm-verity would have to be disabled otherwise the system would bootloop
