My Sprint HTC hero is rooted running Fresh 2.1.2 and whenever I open superuser or try to run an app that requires root I just get a black screen that says (Su Request) at the top and it just stays their and does nothing. Any takers on how to actually launch the program that requires root or what to do with this screen?
In case anybody else has this problem the fix is below.
Superuser Permissions program hangs (usually with a black screen or even a force close) at the “SU request” screen?
1-Select Settings > Applications > Development.
2-Make sure that USB Debugging is checked. If not, check it.
If that fixes your problem, you are done. If not:
1-Select Settings > Applications > Manage applications.
2-Find Superuser Permissions on the list. Tap it.
3-Tap “Clear data” and “Clear cache” if they’re enabled.
