unable to chmod 4755 /system/bin/su :no file or directory


any one know what's up?

I checked in my app drawer I have the ninja there....

does this mean if I turn off my phone I have to so the process over again since I got that error?


Thanks in advance


Update: went back into terminal and typed su but got su: permission denied

I can't get the download from his front page to download on my DX, any ideas why?

Install Astro from the market and in its settings, make sure Enable Browser Downloads is checked.
