Well  if your phone is rooted you can run commands with the su -c command  Here is an example of a cat command on the build prop file to get a phone s product information  adb shell  quot su -c  cat  system build prop  grep  quot product quot   quot   This invokes root permission and runs the command inside the      Notice the 5 end quotes  that is required that you close ALL your end quotes or you will get an error  For clarification the format is like this  adb shell  quot su -c   your command goes here   quot   Make sure you enter the command EXACTLY the way that you normally would when running it in shell
