I ussed Petes to root but I think root is root so why not try his unrootway see i it works..If you did any of leaked updates it wont work but you can always use fastboot to get back to stock but again you wont be stock cant change kernel back

Hey, for some reason if i open the Terminal Emulator and type in su[enter] it's saying: su: not found
So I can't really do anything. Does somebody know a solution to this? (I just want my Galaxy S rooted, i'm quite the newb)
