The problem is that  even though your phone is rooted  the  adbd  server on the phone does not use root permissions   You can try to bypass these checks or install a different adbd on your phone or install a custom kernel distribution that includes a patched adbd  Or  a much easier solution is to use  adbd insecure  from chainfire which will patch your adbd on the fly   It s not permanent  so you have to run it before starting up the adb server  or else set it to run every boot    You can get the app from the google play store for a couple bucks  https   play google com store apps details id eu chainfire adbd amp hl en Or you can get it for free  the author has posted a free version on xda-developers  http   forum xda-developers com showthread php t 1687590 Install it to your device  copy it to the device and open the apk file with a file manager   run adb insecure on the device  and finally kill the adb server on your computer    adb kill-server  And then restart the server and it should already be root

You have to grant the Superuser right to the shell app  com anroid shell   In my case  I use Magisk to root my phone Nexsus 6P  Oreo 8 1   So I can grant Superuser right in the Magisk Manager app  whih is in the left upper option menu
