How to get root access on Android emulator?
I have All Android SDK versions(from 1.5 to 2.3.3), and I tried many methods for getting root in Android emulator. I don't use any Android device and test everything on emulator(AVD).
I need to get root access in any one of the Android emulator to use the 'iptables' and 'busybox' functionality. And to use iptables I must have root access. Atleast 'su' command should execute in the terminal emulator.
I also installed z4root application,
But it takes very long time and doesn't finish rooting, and gets stuck. some say that if we downgrade the system to below RC30, this way we can get root access. if this is true, then how to do this? I use both Linux and Windows OS.
Please someone tell me any method to root my emulator.
