Whatever I type after adb shell it fails with Permission denied:
D:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>adb shell find /data -name *.db
find: permission denied
D:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>adb shell test
test: permission denied
D:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>adb remount
remount failed: No such file or directory
Any ideas?
According to adb help:
adb root - restarts the adbd daemon with root permissions
Which indeed resolved the issue for me.
