>adb shell su, not getting root permission

Solved. I tried it on my other phone and it was due to the superuser app popping up a notification to allow the computer root access, sadly I could not see the popup and tap it on the phone with a broken screen

    I'm trying to retrieve my files from my phone with a broken screen. adb is installed and device is already rooted. Trying to get root access on adb shell but it isnt working, cannot list folders in /data/.

    Here is the command prompt

    C:>adb root
    restarting adbd as root
    C:>adb devices
    List of devices attached
    5024b403 device
    C:>adb shell
    shell@hlte:/ $ su
    1|shell@hlte:/ $

    From what i know the $ sign is supposed to turn into # sign signifying that i have root access, but it is not working, any fixes? Thank you
