Add a space to your command and don't forget the final /... it should look
like this:
sh /mnt/sdcard/su.sh

NOT this:
sh/mnt/sdcardsu.sh

It seems to me that you dont have the file in the correct place. Go to your file manager and find the /mnt/ directory, you will see a few different folders within it, one says External_SD and the other one says SDCard. The folder that is labeled SDCard is your devices INTERNAL MEMORY whereas the External_SD is the MicroSD card that you put into it.

If you have the file in the External_SD, you can opt to use this command:
sh /mnt/External_SD/su.sh

To make it clearer:

The file needs to be in your devices INTERNAL memory and not on the External_SD. The best way to make sure this is the case is to take out the MicroSD, then go to the /mnt/sdcard/ directory and see if you see the file (it must not be in /mnt/sdcard/downloads). also, make sure that the .zip file is unzipped (extracted) as what you need are the files inside the .zip file.

Keep getting the same error:

app_116@Android:/ $ export PATH=/data/local/bin:$PATH
app_116@Android:/ $ sh /mnt/sdcard/su.sh
sh: /mnt/sdcard/su.sh: No such file or directory
127|app_116@Android:/ $

Please help.

When I type the command into my terminal emulator, is it supposed to say "no such file exists"?

[Ruin91]

What does this exactly. Do?

Cuzco everything installed but I don't see any changes

Could u help plz?

@Ruin91:


There wont be any changes to your tablet, what will happen however is you will receive SUPER USER access (similar to ADMINISTRATOR on a PC).

To check that you have done everything correctly, go to the TERMINAL EMU again and type "SU" (without the quotes of course) and you should receive a reply from the Super User (.apk is included in the .zip file) asking to ALLOW or DENY, if this occurs you know you have rooted your tablet correctly.

Sorry you guys are having such difficulty... Are you on ICS? I think I did this pre-ICS?

Try this: after you put the file in the /mnt/sdcard folder, go to it with your file explorer. If the files are not there (not in a folder but in /mnt/sdcard) then reboot your tablet.

Then try going to Terminal Emulator and running the command.

I have noticed that at times the tablet does not see the file that has been copied and must be rebooted to "see" the files.

Im going to test this tonight with ICS and advise if that may be whats wrong... If everything works, I will have some screenshots of this to ensure everything is detailed in the process...
