If your sd card is the same then I recommend you get a bigger card, then either try Taco Root again or, do the HTCdev method.

Edit: recommend 16GB class 6 at least

The sd card that it comes with should work just fine. There is no need to upgrade the sd card unless you partition it

 

[ocnbrze]

ok again what do you get when you enter adb shell in command? did you get # or $?

 

[Rxpert83]

This sounds very similar to how my EVO wouldn't accept pc36img's when I tried unrooting.

 

[mikemike1234]

#



this might be were i am going wrong please advise

 

[mikemike1234]

so my question would be then if i not matching perfictly then even thow i copyed an pasted teh comantd in the prompt from the instructions how would it go wrong

 

[Rxpert83]

Operating from my phone here, whats the difference between what it should show and what's is showing

 

[mikemike1234]

look like ot me i could be wrong that steps 11 or 12 are wrong

 

[mikemike1234]

 

[mikemike1234]

so look like my adb shell is worng so



and if you cant read that let me know an i well typ it out

 

[ocnbrze]

actually you are ok as the adb is out of date thing is not that important. as long as deamon has started successfully you are fine. looks good though.

keep going.

 

[ocnbrze]

most important thing is that you have # instead of $. the $ means that you are not rooted (as taco root provides temporary root), but you have # so that is good.

 

[mikemike1234]

u sher cus after that it says it has started it say

$su
su


mine dose nto have that

 

[mikemike1234]

k i well move on then to next step

 

[ocnbrze]

ok so let me clarify what is on the screen. the adb shell on the screen gave a $ promtp. if you type su after the $ it should change to #. from there the command was entered. and that is what you see on the screen. if that makes any sense.

 

[mikemike1234]

k now it say that this adb shell /data/local/tacoroot.sh --undo

is not found and it has never done that befor
