Android - How can I tell if I have root?
Use terminal emulator (a popular free/open-source terminal emulator is Android Terminal Emulator, available from F-droid or Play Market), open the emulator and type
su
you will know with the message that appears after if phone is rooted or not.
Edit:
There is an app just for this now : Root Checker
Connect your phone in developer mode via USB and start an ADB shell
adb shell
If you see a #
at the beginning of the line your phone is rooted, if it's a $
try to execute the su
command, and if you get a #
now, your phone is rooted, but if you get an error that su
can't be found it's probably not, or the su
binary is simply missing.
There are also apps on the market that test if your phone is rooted.
There is an application available in the market called Root Checker, that can verify if your phone is rooted, and if you have BusyBox installed.
