>adb shell su, not getting root permission

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

My root mode was set to grant access automatically but shell was not getting root access. Switched to promt and I got a popup and when I granted the permission su worked.

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
