su: permission denied, what am i doing wrong?

Um no..also if it helps i have the Google Ion from the Developers conference and i was told i didnt need to root it so i went ahead and tried getting root access
 
that is what i did, i put the file into K:\Ion folder and than i did adb push K:\ion\su or what do i put for the data/local? maybe thats where i did something wrong
adb push su /data/local
 
No, This is my first time doing something like this and my first HTC device so i pretty much have no idea lol i was trying some things out by myself since those jackasses over at xda wont reply to my post so i came here for some help im very desperate to get superhero v2 on my ion lol
 
ok so let me try to help you out as much as i can since it seems u have a mac and i dont know anything about macs lol but its pretty easy

1.first do a google search for "android sdk" and dowload the 1.5 version
2.once you download the sdk theres gonna be three files that you need under the "tools" folder they are "fastboot.exe, adb.exe, adbwinapi.dll"
3.copy these files into a new folder on your C: drive (or the equivilent of it) and name the folder "android"

this should allow you to use adb by pluggin in your phone, running command prompt and typing

cd C:\android (or the directory you put your android folder in)
 
1.connect your phone to the computer
2.open up a command prompt on your computer (Start>run>cmd)
3.type in

this should change your directory to the android folder
4.type
 
did that and i guess it transferred the file coz it gave me the transfer time, and next i suppose i do adb shell and than the $ symbol pops out and i put su and it gives me permission denied
