an error occurred while attempting to run privilaged commands!

[vdavis]

i have searched for 2 weeks all over the internet and have tried every option that i found and cannot get superuser access on my evo 4G.... when i open superuser app there is no app listed there for superuser access.... i have the gingerbread 2.16, i can boot into recovery mode with no prob.... i have tried several different superuser.zip files, the latest being 3.0.7.... can anyone help please? when i try to run rom manager it gives a message saying " an error occurred while attempting to run privilaged commands! "

Only time I ever see a app in superuser is if another app needs root to run .. It will pop up on it's own... Never seen superuser when downloaded from the market already full of apps...

Yours sounds like it's working right... It only seems to work when a app needs to use root rights..

Have you went into superuser and checked to see if your binary is the most up to date one? It should be 3.0.3.2, are you saying that you are rooted and using the stock ROM? If I'm not mistaken by rooting your hboot gets changed, that looks to be the stock hboot, someone correct me if I'm wrong.

I don't know if it's different on the 3D, but I know on my Evo superuser has all the programs that need root access stored in the program list, they don't just populate as it needs access they are either there or not to my knowledge, at least that's how mine is.

Back on the evo it seemed to do the same as the evo 3d.. Certain apps would pop up if it needed superuser rights..

I used it back on the evo.. Also on the evo 3D ... What rom you using? I would find a stock build that has been tweaked alil bit... You could try fresh rom by flipz ... For the EVO everything works on it... Close to stock also... I know this caues I rooted two of my friends Evo's and put fresh on it Also when I had the evo I was running it along with CM7..

First thx for the replies.... i was refering to my hboot before rooting... hboot now reads 6.16.1002....

rather the apps should be listed in superuser or not i don't know.... however none are listed and when i try to run an app that requires superuser access it fails... Example: when i try to flash clockworkmod recovery via rom manager that is when i get the message that i listed in the subject line....

i tried to check my binary it said "latest version 3.0.3.2" "checking latest version - Legacy" when i try to update it fails when trying to gain root access.....

Where can i get the fresh rom by flipz?????

[vdavis]

OK!!!!!! i got the fresh rom loaded and i can run tethering now.... thx .... when i tether to my laptop, it connects but it does not let me connect to the internet.... any thoughts on that?

Thanks to everyone.... i am now working.... FYI: i was finally able to get my pc to connect to my tether but no internet connection... i went into the wireless tether and unchecked the access control and whalaa it workede.... thx so much.....
