Android: Adb: Permission Denied


Answer :

According to adb help:

adb root                     - restarts the adbd daemon with root permissions 

Which indeed resolved the issue for me.


Without rooting: If you can't root your phone, use the run-as <package> command to be able to access data of your application.

Example:

$ adb exec-out run-as com.yourcompany.app ls -R /data/data/com.yourcompany.app/

exec-out executes the command without starting a shell and mangling the output.


The reason for "permission denied" is because your Android machine has not been correctly rooted. Did you see $ after you started adb shell? If you correctly rooted your machine, you would have seen # instead.

If you see the $, try entering Super User mode by typing su. If Root is enabled, you will see the # - without asking for password.
