Well, I have applied a patch to tramp-adb.el which

* Performs "su <user>" if user is given in the file name
* Raises an error if this command fails.

With this, the usual "/adb::" still works, and "/adb:root@:" works if
the device supports it.

(My examples assume, that the host name is optional if there is exactly
one device connected via adb)

Don't know. Let's see what other people report. Maybe you must call
"adb root" outside Emacs in advance; but I really don't know ...

Best regards, Michael.
