EDIT : SOLVED by changing the SU app to a different one
Help from everyone appreciated
I am trying to S Off my device, but I am getting an error. SEE SCREENSHOT.

But isn't it already in root mode?
adb shell should give you a prompt with a $ I think, root gives a #

but after entering the command "SU", the prompt should be "[email protected][email protected]" , but i am getting "[email protected]_m8"
I compared it with a screenshot on a discussion forum.

Maybe permissions? Did you accept superuser access on the device?
Else I don't know, at best I could only check once I get home to see what it's like for me on my terminal. Hopefully someone can help you before that though, I'll only be home in like 6 - 7 hours
have you rooted the device before this?
SU installed and working?
bootloader unlocked?
Seems like your not rooted.

Are you trying to use the temproot method? That only work for the Verizon M8 so you'll have to unlock via HTCDev to S-OFF (and then you can lock it again so HTC won't know)

No, it was perm-root... It was from some toolkit though.

Doesn't work either. You have to unlock the bootloader, flash the custom recovery and then root it. You can then go through the S-OFF guide

I can't, it all worked fine for me so I've not had to do it since. All I can say is follow the guide on the firewater site to the letter...
Taken from http://firewater-soff.com/instructions/
Ensure device is booted to android with usb debugging enabled.
USB 2.0 ports are preferred.
You should not be connected using any hubs which may cause connectivity issues
Ensure that lock screen security is disabled on your device.
no passcode lock
no pattern lock
no face lock
Download firewater HERE
Push, Prepare, and Execute firewater:
adb reboot <–important!!!!
adb wait-for-device push firewater /data/local/tmp
adb shell
su
chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/firewater
/data/local/tmp/firewater
Agree to the terms and conditions you are prompted with
Allow the exploit to do its work.
Profit

I have a problem on the unrotting evrrything went fine but after the flash of the PC10IMG.zip file i still have s-off what is the problem..
*ps when i try to enter in cmd
adb shell it shows me the $
and su still $
when i try to open the pc10img.zip file on the pc it says corrupt or invalid any help plz
you have to re-run gfree to get s-on.
The $ shows you don't have root access, which is to be expected having flashed a stock rom.
su should've returned permission denied, again stock rom.
Invalid zip is windows explorer not being able to handle signed zips. Use 7zip

I have been trying to root this Dinc2 and have had nothing but trouble. I HTC dev unlocked it, then read the instructions and relocked it.
I would appreciate any help.
Here is the first step where I am getting an error.

TacoRoot: HTC Edition v1
By Justin Case (jcase)
Presented by TeamAndIRC, RootzWiki and AndroidPolice
With great assistance from Reid Holland (Erishasnobattery)
----------
TacoRoot: HTC Edition v1 is based on a vulnerability independently discovered by
both Justin Case and Dan Rosenberg (Rosenberg first). I believe unrevoked and
AlpahRev were also aware of it.
----------
Usage:
--recovery : For this exploit to work, you must have booted recovery at least on
ce after your last factory reset.
--setup : Setup the phone for root, must be done before --root.
--root : Root the phone.
--undo : Remove TacoRoot.
----------
Rebooting into recovery, please press Volume+, Volume- and Power at the same tim
e, and reboot the system.
rm failed for /data/data/recovery/log, No such file or directory
link failed No such file or directory
Thanks again.
Which guide you following? Mine? Try running "tacoroot.sh --recovery" then continue with --setup.

Run "adb shell /data/local/tacoroot.sh --recovery," hit VolUp+Power at the exclamation mark, then VolUp+VolDown+Power to reboot, then continue the guide with "adb shell /data/local/tacoroot.sh --setup." Let me know if it works.
I never get the red exclamation point. Could the fact that I installed Clockworkmod recovery before rooting have something to do with it?

How did you install stock recovery?
I was htcdev unlocked and tried following prototype7's guide on how to downgrade from that section but couldn't get it work. I was browsing and came across this thread so i relocked my phone, and I'm having the exact same issue he had. Although I don't know how to reinstall stock recovery, can someone direct me to the correct thread to do that after I reunlock myphone ._.

Sent from my ADR6350 using xda app-developers app
Well you can just stay unlocked flash a recovery and then require root by flashing it through recovery or android market or you can try to gain s- off with taco root in one of the threads here somewhere which where you can follow I would totally recommend getting S-Off tho

Why are you using taco root? That tool is for downgrading to s-off. For that to work, You need to re-lock bootloader and follow the instructions to s-off. Having a unlocked bootloader will cause errors. htcdev is something pretty useless because we have s-off, just my opinion.
My software is up to date so no root or s-off methods work I read taco root will work but I myself am not talented enough apparently to do this. All the one click methods including a one click downgrade method does not work (vivow hack). So I assumed HTC tool would get me to at least be able to flash a custom Rom. Does anyone have any suggestions to make me a happier dinc2 owner?

I know this sounds sketchy, but if you want to pay for shipping, send it to my place I'll do the tacoroot method for you and send it back. PM me if you're interested, I figured I'd throw it out there.

You could try using teamviewer (think that's what its called) to remote access his computer an walk gin through it. Might be faster.

After you click the green button that says "Begin Unlock Bootloader", there is a popup. If you're not getting that, maybe your browser is blocking popups? Maybe you can temporarily disable that?

Re: [ROOT] Insecure Boot Image
Well this is broken till flar gets back to me with a write protect disable module. The kernel itself prevents writing to system. So no root method will work besides flashing a recovery. Can't finish recovery till module is built. HTC likes locking their stuff down now

if for some reason supersu says su isn't installed, try a root app and see if you get prompted for root access
i have and download the binary from the app , later the app doesnt have root rights
Me and another user (who pm'd me) are having a bit of trouble here. After following the steps SuperSU is reporting that "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. There is a problem!" It does appear to grant permission to other apps (tried su in terminal) but doesn't seem to actually be giving permission, terminal just hangs. Root Checker hangs as well. Any ideas?

Ever since I upgraded to the official Gingerbread 2.3 ROM for Desire Z I have had the problem with Sense often restarting when I go back to the home screen. I have tried a factory reset but it didn't help. Is there a fix for this or is the problem just something you have to live with with 2.3?
