Root shell with adb?


Recommended Posts

I'm in Australia & got my Dell Streak a few days ago from the UK (thanks Stewart). Upgraded to 2.1 build 6941. Rooted with Universal Androot, and installed busybox from the Market along with a slew of other apps like Root Explorer. I'm trying to install rsyncdroid but I need to get a root shell over adb. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance, Warren

Run `adb shell` on your PC, then when it connects type `su` and hit enter - a window should pop up on the phone asking if you want to allow it, click yes!

D'oh. The screen had gone blank, and I didn't think to look. Thanks!
