From spain root htc desire hd sim telefonica

Dear Simonssimons34,

I have an HTC device model HTC Desire HD A9191, with Android 2.3.5, HTC Sense 3.0 Software Version 3.12.405.1, ACE PUT SHIP S-ON RL, HBOOT 2.00.0027, MICROP 0438, RADIO 26.14.04.28_M, eMMC - boot, Sep 7 2011.

I found of interest your development for rooting without wiping data, ease way, without downgrading, etc.

I have followed detailed your simonsutility.bat and the option "1", even for two times but without success.

Please find here detailed information generated by your program:

1 Bootloader Unlock and Root (Universal)

2 Custom Recovery (unlocked or S-Off)

3 S-off

4 Install Drivers

Please make a selection or hit ENTER to exit: 1

Now I am changing the permissions to root.

I modified taco root, follow its directions! Device reboot is normal.

Rebooting into recovery, please press Volume+, Volume- and Power at the same time

e. Now choose to reboot the system.

Now we are waiting for full boot, I can only guess high

with this, so please wait.

Setting Up taccoroot now. Device will reboot.

Afterwards the device has rebooted perfect but unfortunately without root the device.

Could you help me on that?

I will really appreciate this from you , the reason why, it is because I need to recover some notes I deleted, and all the programs to do it needs a device rooted.

Thank you very much in advance for your sure interest.

With my Best Regards,

Javier
