Description

Impossible to user the super user app.

At the firt start after install, there is a notification about updating the super user app, when I click on it there is no way to update it any option gets an error.

I think there is the same problem even if we ignore that notification and try to do for instance a su command in the terminal emulator.

Thanks for the report -- I've seen that as well. That's a problem that we will solve in the next release, sorry for the inconvenience.

i think you are seeing this problem because your phone isn't rooted. (?) the following guide worked for me, on my galaxy s2 with the replicant 4.0 0003 image installed.

i didn't follow the instructions to the letter (like using the 'unzip' command instead of downloading 7-zip, etc.) Your mileage may vary, i.e. things could go very wrong.

+1 on the Samsung Nexus S running 4.0 0003

I haven't tried the rooting instructions on the f-droid wiki but I also haven't run into any problems yet using the phone...maybe I'll just wait for the next release to clear this up.
