Default Superuser.apk

I have successfully installed a Superuser.apk but it does not seem to be working properly. Titanium reports that Su does not elevate to root.

I have debugging enabled and I have connected through adb shell but nothing seems to work.

Anyone have any success? If so, which version did you use?
Current Phone: LG Nexus 4
Firmware: CM 10.1
Previous Phone: Samsung Galaxy S3
Carrier: Bell Mobility

adb shell mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system
adb push E:\Android\ROOT\step4\system\bin\su /system/bin/su
adb shell chmod 6777 /system/bin/su
adb install E:\Android\ROOT\step4\system\app\Superuser.apk
adb reboot

adb reboot
I am trying to do same thing with mediascape , but I get error
"Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_DEXOPT]", I am reading on google that its something related to the .odex file, how can I install/or whatever I have to do in order to be able to put mediascape back.

I know I just could restore and than root again and remove rm command for mediascape from ch file, but I am trying to remove more branding apps of telenor firmware and flash and root again with clean system.
PS: Messing with my phone as I don't have any knowledge in programming...just google.
Thx

Hi

You can try to do this :

adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system
cd /system/app
cp /sdcard/apps/mediascape* .
cp /sdcard/apps/MediascapePluginManager* .
reboot
