I searched around several threads and saw a few people with the same issue but no fixes.
I rooted my phone using this and it worked great.
I then installed clockwork manager from here and then installed the clockwork recovery and made my nandroid.
So far so good.
I booted up and then checked the terminal emulator app i had installed and did:
Code:
$su
and got
Code:
#
So, all good.
I then went to remove some of the bloatware by using adb.
When I do adb shell I get the $ prompt.
I type in "su" without quotes and after a few seconds i get "Permission denied".
Seems like i fudged something somewhere but I am not sure what.

Anyone able to offer some constructive help?
