Root Ermagherd!!!

Tacoroot for 2.18 IS SO FLIPPIN EASY!!!!! I mean it does require you to dl some stuff and follow instructions, but ERMAGHERD!!! Rooted in less than 10 min after dl'ing everything!! Amon Ra installed and everything!! Now i can flash roms again on this thing and have some android fun!!!!

Basically the reason for this post is to instill faith in the folk who wrots the how-to. Its foolproof with the exception of one adb command. Step 13. ditch the "adb shell" part of it as it wont recognize the command and youre golden (at least i was) OCN, you might wanna see whats up there btw (in case you get bored LoL) your instructions say to restart the command prompt, but that wasnt necessary for me, i just took the beginning part out as it didnt seem to recognize that portion... anyways, this is one helluva writeup and worked flawlessly for me :D

Thanks again OCN, you prove time and time again that youre da man!!

so step 13, are you saying that this command:
Code:
adb shell /data/local/tacoroot.sh --undo
did not work for you?

what exactly did you enter for that command?

perhaps he means the words "adb shell" as you are already in a shell command?
Just need to type
/data/local/tacoroot.sh --undo

Thanks man.:) Yeah, I'm glad ocn's over here often to kinda "look over my shoulder" as I try to help out people.
Someday soon (2-3 months), hoping to upgrade myself.:p Thought it would've been done already but no soap.:(
 
I know I'm not over here in the OG section as much as I should be. Glad to hear you guys are keeping it in tip top shape. :D

I always thought tacoroot looked fun. Never had the need to use it though
