Root Can No Longer Root?!

[wilberfan1]

I got my Optimus M on Dec 27th--so only about 10 days ago as of this writing. That first week was rather intense--I learned a LOT about the phone!

I also got it rooted, like, on day TWO.

I haven't attempted to root for several days, and when I tried this morning following this procedure, it doesn't seem to be happening any more:

• Applications/Development/USB debugging mode [on]
• Run Z4root - select "Temporary Root" ['success' indicated]
• Start Terminal Emulator and enter 'su'

At this point is says (the dreaded) "permission denied"

What could have changed over the last 5 days? Or have I forgotten a step or procedure?

I've rebooted, rerun Z4 several times...tried it all under different launchers...

I'm kinda out of ideas at this point...

Attempted to root? If you used the permanent option you wouldn't have to do it again.

Being a noob, I thought the temporary option a 'safer' choice. Although Z4 claims to be able to DEroot, doesn't it?

[edit] The 'permanent' option seems to have worked!
(The 'temp' function was working great--wonder why it stopped?)

Shit happens thats why. lol

Because your Android got fed up of being teased with root powers and said WTF? I love being root. If I could root all the time, I would... I am free as root...
I got a plan to stay root. I think I have a problem. Nawh I AM ROOT!!!
