Question Tried rooting my phone, can't push SU file

ok so I'm trying to root my G2 phone from T-mobile, I have followed the steps in this forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki...ing_gfree_v0.7
all of the steps, I downgraded my firmware, I got permroot but when I get to step 2: copy files to phone it does not let me push the Superuser files onto my phone, it says permission denied. I have USB debuggin on and i have the screen on stay awake, I have superuser app on my phone but I don't know what i am doing wrong.
adb push su /sdcard/
adb push Superuser.apk /sdcard/ <---these 2 are the ones it doesn't let me push. i have them installed on my platform-tools directory and everything too.

DONATE TO ME
Instead of pushing to /sdcard, try pushing to /mnt/sdcard (/sdcard is just a symlink and I am not sure every system has it by default).

Example:

adb push Superuser.apk /mnt/sdcard/

Also, are you sure your sdcard is working properly? You could also just copy those files manually to your sdcard from your OS as well as you would any other file like music or videos. It would make no difference.
