If you need to manually remove the Superuser app. then you should be able to do that in an adb shell - take the following steps at your own risk:

First, install the Android SDK.

Then, connect your DX to your computer over USB.

Then, run...

adb shell

...on your computer.

Then, in the shell session, run the following commands:

mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
rm -rf /system/app/Superuser.apk
mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
exit

Then, disconnect your device and reboot it.

That should do it.

Ive installed SKD and it asked me to install Java and none of the packages will install and the command screen wont let me type anything in it.
