How to check whether you have super user privilege

you may interested to know whether you're device is really rooted or not. there are many ways to do this. but I prefer following method.

1. install Android terminal emulator from Google play
2. run terminal emulator
3. you will see $ mark before the cursor
4. type su and enter
5. if your device is properly rooted, you will now see # mark before the cursor
6. type exit and enter
7. you will see again $ mark before the cursor
8. type exit and enter
9. you will exit from the application android terminal emulator

I already told you that I prefer above method. reason is that you do not want to uninstall android terminal emulator. it’s very useful software piece. assume that you want to restart your phone. how can you do it. press and hold power button of your Samsung galaxy ace 5830i to get into phone option menu. there is no restart option. so you have to select switch off option. then phone is switched off, press again power button to boot the phone again. it’s bit painful. I’ll show you easiest way

1. run terminal emulator
2. type su and enter
3. type reboot and enter
4. now your phone will restart. no more painful button pressing

if you want to boot into recovery, it’s also bit big procedure with so many button pressing patterns.  why don’t you try terminal emulator.

1. run terminal emulator
2. type su and enter
3. type reboot recovery and enter
4. your phone will be booted into 3e recovery.
