hmm, cap is on tighter than I expected........
hell, that damn cap is on REALLY tight.......
unfortunately this isn't going to work out with your configuration. you have 2 options:
1.) flash an unsecure kernel that's compatible with your ROM and retry rumrunner (preferred and most reliable method).
2.) flash a different rom.
NOTE: No amount of messing around with su binaries and apk's is going to fix this issue for you!!!.
Better luck next time!!!!bye

Man....sorry for the rant. I am so frustrated by this because I dont understand it

I bought this phone USED 4 months ago and the battery is weak and I feel so foolish for buying a used phone that was probably for sale because the battery was dwindling and im the idiot that paid $200 for this

I feel like such a chump, such a sucker for wasting my money and now just want to at least upgrade the firmware because I am having troubles with the data connection just drops and I have to reboot the phone to restore the data.

ANd now I see they are selling this phone NEW for $200 at BEST BUY and I will probably just have to bite the bullet but I tell you this: I will never again be such a fool to buy a used cell phone, I need my head examined to make such a mistake.

Im really feeling crummy about this situation =(

And I am taking the 70-410 exam on Monday, should be studying for that but went off on this tangent and would hate to FAIL at turning the S-OFF.

I work with Linux so am no stranger to frustration and hours of modifications to get things working.....but this here might have me licked

I fix everyone's computers for free in this town but this problem here has humbled me. S-ON =(
