I had an issue with that command when I rooted my boss's phone.
Turns out I had the spaces wrong betweeen the letters etc.
double check your spacing etc.:)

yeah i figured out what you meant but thank you and yeah i just went with the copy and paste and i'm still getting the same response as stated above. any ideas on what i should do or try?
 
Go up one level...the other folders you have may be, android secure, android, audio, backups, media...to name a few..
Where those folders are is the root, or, top of the sd card.
That may be your problem.
 
yea i feel completly stupid now lol but i figured it out guys thanks to all for all your help i am going through the update now
 
I HAVE DONE ALL THREE, SO THAT IS ALL UP TO YOU. THE COMMANDS I THINK ARE SIMPLE ENOUGH. JUST MAKE SURE THAT YOU READ AND DO SOME RESEARCH BEFORE GOING IN HEAD ON.

edit: sorry i need to get out of my terminator mode.

if you truly want to be completely s-off then either taco root or captain's method will do the job.

again read all three and see which one you think you can do. and please ask as many questions as you like.

Haha good times
