Android adb shell ping - This version of ping should NOT run with privileges. Aborting

I am trying to perform a ping via adb shell on a Galaxy S5. I am able to perform this same ping command without issue on a Galaxy S4. Does anyone know how to bypass this? "This version of ping should NOT run with privileges. Aborting"

Ping commands:

adb shell
ping www.google.com
Solution

  • Change the permission of the ping(a file in /system/bin/) from rwsr-xr-x to rwxr-xr-x, it's done!
