[Q] Command Prompt Issue When Trying To Exit ADB Shell?

If device is rooted, by writing in command prompt the command "adb shell", must appear the symbol #, if the symbol $ appears the device isn't rooted.
If you cannot use adb from pc, run on device a terminal emulator(you can find one on market) the above command to see if you're rooted. Then you can give the next commands from terminal emulator(maybe you need to copy the nessecary files on sd card and change the related paths to point to sd card)

I'm having the exact same problem while rooting my HTC Tattoo (on Windows 7).
I have Android 1.6 (Donut), the baseband is 13.29a.55.13H_3.35.07.33, kernel is 2.6.29-gf922713 and build is 1.67.173.37.
Please help and thanks in advance . I really want to install CyanogenMod 7...

I'm having the same issue. When I input exit it stucks into that loop and then I got to ctrl+c, and of course the root does not stick
From that point forward I can't do anything else...

If someone overcome the problem please post.

I just used this app to root a zte blade with a new greek stock rom:

Seems to work for almost all devices and in first post have some info about root levels and links to a workaround for devices that have some lock which prevents the full rooting.
I didn't tried anythink cause the rooting process was successful, but you can try this app and if still have problems try to follow the instructions given.
Good luck.

If you have your mobile rooted can you just use this commands:
cd /data/local/bin/
chmod 755 flash_image
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-clockwork-x.x.x.x-click.img
to perform a recovery flash? Without using the su command?

I don't remember if I tried it, but, if it works I recommend using Androot for rooting the device, it worked for me(checked by Root Checker ).
I'm mentioning this just because you recommended the SuperOneClick app.

Update:

For all trying to get thing done, follow the instructions on 1Click modified by tenis and flash the latest cyanogenmod.
It worked!!!

exit command in adb seems to lock up

like omgsufc, I also reach this stage and can see the message:

uid=0(root) gid=1000(shell) groups=1003(graphics),1004(input),1007(log),1011(a db),1015(sdcard_rw),3001(net_bt_admin),3002(net_bt ),3003(inet)

Again, like omgsufc, when I issue the command:

# exit

ADB shell seems to go into some kind of loop. Pressing ctrl-c or ctrl-d also give the same results. I thus can't go to the next stage. Any help or clues would be greatly appreciated.

I'm on Ubuntu 11.04.

TIA for any help.

Finally got it to work

No matter what I did, rooting using m7 just didn't work for me (Ubuntu 11.04). Running 'while ./m7 ; do : ; done' got me temporarily rooted as issuing 'id' shows me at 'uid=0(root)'. However, issuing 'exit' just left me in a long loop in the terminal from which it never recovers, and hence I could not complete the root process this way.

So I tried androot, which appeared to root me right away. Issuing 'su' in Android Terminal worked, and doing the same in ADB Shell also gets me to the # prompt. However, issuing the 'flash_image recovery' failed no matter what I did. I tried ROM Manager after this initial androot root: it gives me a success message after flashing ClockworkMod recovery, but when I reboot into recovery it just fails. Fastboot also failed consistently.

Finally, when I tried Terminal Emulator to get root access by issuing the command 'su', it says permission denied, even though Terminal Emulator gave me root access.

So... I unrooted Androot. Again trying to root using m7 I got the same problems as before.

I didn't bother trying flash_image or fastboot and instead tried rooting with androot. After doing so, this time Terminal Emulator allowed root access, which gave me some hope.

So I pulled out ROM Manager again, and woot! My Tattoo is on CyanogenMod 7 and am I a happy camper! I like what Cyanogen has given us: ADW Launcher is as good for me as Sense ever was... actually it's better. And finally I get to use all the new apps I've been wanting to use but wouldn't run on Android 1.6.

So thank you Cyanogen, thank you xda-developers, particularly KalimochoAz, thank you Koushik Dutta for ROM Manager, and thank you, whorever developed androot!
