Root How to Change Permissions on a Script

I'm trying to run the V6 Supercharger script through script manager, but I'm getting an error that I'm not running the script as root. I tried using superuser and root explorer to change the permissions, but I got an error that certain scripts on SD can't have the permissions changed?

Is there an installer for this script, or can't I just flash it? I'm so confused?
 
you should be able to click menu and choose more advanced and browse as root that should allow you to run scripts as root
 
Ok I have script manager browsing as root, but the instructions say to run both script manager and the script as root. I tries running it again , but I'm getting the same errors.
 
I don't undersdtand what you mean. I can open the superuser app, and it shows me all the apps and logs that have permissions, and script manager is on there... But I don't have an option to add anything.

Do I need to upgrade my superuser to elite for $3.00?

Ok Here we go:

if you look at the icons under the menu items Run Exit etc you should click on the superuser icon it will turn green as in the picture. this should allow you to run the script as superuser

No, you shouldn't need to upgrade your superuser. If you want to support the dev, then absolutely buy the pro version. ;)
I think either your script manager or you actual script may be bad. Try deleting both and reloading. Like usual make sure superuser has given the proper permission to script manager.
Let us know if this doesn't work.
 
Ok I redownloaded the script, cleared cache and dalvic (as recommended), rechecked that script manager was running as superuser, and re-rean the script.... Still getting the same error.

It is also saying that my version of busybox is too high, and recommends I downgrade?

Thanks for the SS, and mine looks just as yours does?
