On this screen, did you allow it SU permissions? There should be a grey botton on the lower left hand corner alowwing you to do this.

Try reinstalling the app, that screen normally has 4 button selections on it.

Please ask in the Fresh 1.0 thread. There are tons of threads going on, and someone asked this same question in another thread.

i didnt know if it was only related just to fresh 1.0 bc i had the same problem when was running fresh 0.7 . simply reinstalling corrected it

Glad you got it fixed. I didn't mean it to say you shouldn't get it resolved.

I also had this problem with the Fresh rom and the wifi tether app. You get that screen because USB debugging is not turned on. If it was you would get a menu asking you to allow the app super user access. So, instead you get the black screen with "SU Request"

On my hero I didn't have to reinstall the app. Just go to:

Menu > Settings > Applications > Development > switch on USB debugging
