If I were to root my phone, what would be the best way to accomplish the following:
1) I can still update to ICS
2) I can restore it to"unrooted" condition
3) I can use it as a wifi hot spot
I am hesitant because this phone works GREAT and I hate to screw anything up on it. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks

Easiest way , just flash amon ra recovery. Use developer menu to install su and stay stock Rom, but remove bloat if you wanted. Make a back up in amon ra prior to rooting and when ota comes flash android. Flash stock recovery in hboot and then your back to normal and can accept ota.

Very VERY difficult to brick this with only using an HTC dev unlock. Now if you were going to run the s-off exploit. More chances of bricking there but if you stay on gingerbread and don't run the ICS leak, you can always revert back to a factory state even if you don't create a backup in Amon RA.
I'll bite.
This shouldn't be in the dev section. This is for the devs to put out their work, ROMs, toolkits, MODS, etc.
This should have gone in either the general section or Q & A. Please remember this from now on.
I'll do it. Wrong thread, should be in Q&A.

1. You can actually install some of the latest ICS software now, if you wanted to. I encourage you to read through this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1425091
It will have a review of everything you need for the Rezound: ROMs, recovery, mods, etc.
If you didn't want to install a custom ROM, then you can always stay stock by just flashing an RUU of either a Gingerbread or ICS ROM.
2. To unroot, read this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1472606
3. I use the WiFi Tether application, which is included with many, if not all custom ROMs. It works really well and is free. Here is the fix needed for it before you use it:
Before Use -Start the app, Permit Root, Set Profile - Samsung Galaxy Nexus (CDMA/LTE) and Check Routing Fix
Good luck! Have fun! And welcome to the Rezound Club!

You guys make it too complicated:
Short answer:
1.) No - Not if your referring to the OTA that is coming someday.. (you would have to unroot (see #2))
1b.) Yes - if you flash a custom recovery and a custom ROM
2.) Yes - reflash Stock RUU
2b.) Provided you don't flash the "leaked" OTA that upgrades your HBoot
3.) yes
4. Read the sticky's that's why they are there
Thanks so much, guys, and I'm sorry I posted this in the wrong thread. I'll probably mess with this some more over the weekend and let you know how it goes. (For a novice like me!)

First do THIS
Then install THIS and install su & superuser from the developer menu in Amon Ra.
From there you'll be rooted. Also, read the developer section, especially the stickies as there are plenty of great guides to get you going, but those two that I linked are the basics of getting it unlocked and perm rooted. From there you'll be able to flash a new ROM in recovery.
Thanks i will try as soon as I get home and let you know how it goes!

Using Amon Ra, I flashed directly from my phone. Its way easy. Just take your time and you'll get it.
I have s-off, what can i do now. Was it only to get the *locked* back?
One big deal for a lot of people is that you will be able to make and restore nandroid backups without having to seperately go into hboot and flash the kernel (boot.img) for what you're restoring.
Also people want to be able to download and flash roms in a single file and installation process. Once devs begin packaging them for s off, you won't do the old two file method of rom in recovery followed by PH98IMG.zip in hboot.
Everything will be included in recovery.
And to me the big deal is that you can flash the latest ice cream sandwich radio firmware by flashing the RUU, and whenever you want you can how back to the gingerbread radio firmware and gingerbread roms. As opposed go how its always been where once you upgraded there was no going back for radio firmware.
Also people will tell you that's the reason that we don't have a lot more developers on our device is because of s off. I personally think that's wishful thinking, and the user base is a reason a lot of devs walked away, but I'm passing along the information since its posted constantly that once s off is achieved there will be a line of devs a half mile long begging to get to the rezound.

Quick question, Charlie. I came from the Dinc and am used to backup/restore including the kernels. If I were to do a backup right now(already did), after being s-off, will it include the kernel? Or, does something in the process need to be modified before the kernel is included in the backup? I have a feeling it will be included right off the bat, but just curious.
You can flash one of the awesome splash screens in my thread in the theme section

Backups done by amon ra included the kernel you just couldn't restore it without con's nandroid helper. So when you go to backup and it lets you select what to backup, make sure boot has an x next to it.

Thank you. That's what I didn't have to do on the Dinc, because I used CWM. I'll make sure to have this checked in Amon Ra. Although, I think it's checked by default.
No sympathy is correct, I actually meant to add that and I forgot because I was try to wrap up the book I wrote in that post.
He and gadget have posted boot animations as well as I believe the other guy was Andybones.
I've flashed two of no sympathys splash screens I believe as well as the bamf splash screen I'm running now.

Does S-Off mean we have a better chance of getting RIL working on AOSP possibly? I think I kept reading that AOSP wasn't ever going to be possibly until we got S-Off.
Also how the hell did we get S-Off? Did HTC release it, or did someone find a bootleg way to get S-Off with their own research? I was on XDA like a day or two ago before S-Off was ever mentioned then all the sudden we have it.

Some guys advocate that AOSP devs will flock back to the rezound if we have s off.
We got s off because some developers from a completely different device put in a crapload of time and effort in order to figure out the exploit and then test it on our devices.

This is my main reason. My Rezound loves the radios and Incredikernel. So I did a mixture of the 3, s-0ff, ics firmware, & Ineffabilis. Also just re-packed a GB rom that included kernel boot.img flashing and it worked BEAUTIFULLY. No PH98IMG flashing done at all.
Also, can always go back to Rezrom Ex 3.4 via nandroid without issue.
Does anyone know if we will be able to get the mount points changed for sdcard and sdcard2? I know recovery reads the actual sdcard, but for apps backing up data, it all goes to the internal "sdcard". More than once have I gotten in a rush and forgot to backup my internal sdcard. just hoping we can get that changed around.
Someone should know this

This process is DEAD SIMPLE ... Just time consuming if you can't get the "wire Trick" timing down.
All devices are different. All I can suggest is READ ... READ ... READ
Since you don't really even know what you want to do ... S-Off can wait. Then maybe a different s-off process may be available when you DO need it. I doubt it will be "easier" though.

I think if you run the .12 RUU you should be back on track to receive OTA's again, if not mistaken.
Just download the new RUU name it PH98IMG and flash it in bootloader (hboot). Afterwards you will need to flash a recovery and youll be all set. Being locked, unlocked is irrelevant as long as your s-off. Meaning you never need to unlock as long as your s-off.

Seems stock, we need a screenie of the kernel and baseband version to tell you what firmware version you have although it looks like the ics ota.
Boot into bootloader by
1. Pull battery and replace
2. Hold volume down + power until hboot shows up
3. Look at s off/s on status, radio versions and if it says unlocked or tampered at the top.
Tampered means there is a custom recovery installed and probably rooted, this is good if you wanna flash a ROM.

Looks like you have the leaked global ics ruu firmware from mid 2012 and a rom based on it. Since you are still s-on, you may find it difficult to revert back to anything older (such as the official ics). The kernel looks to be the one included in the leaked ruu as well.
Hi mate,
Is that mean something? Bad or good maybe?
So the step is make it s-off, flashing the rom, and.... Am i right?
I dont get any trouble with thia phone. I just want to know are there any better setting than i have? If not maybe i'll stick with this one. (for battery and performance maybe)

1. S-off. You may have to relock to perform the s-off. I can't remember. Go do your research before starting.
2. Flash venom Rom. This is an ics Rom with zero bugs.
3. Flash the team bamf kernel (made by same developer) this kernel will increase your battery life by about 50%

Joelz (maker of viperrez and bamf kernel) has implemented this in his rom and kernel.
If your s on, normally you would need a computer to flash the boot.img separately via fastboot commands (search more about using adb and fastboot)

You don't need to s-off. S-off makes flashing a ROM a little easier by automatically flashing the kernel afterwards, but as was mentioned, these days a lot of ROMs make the kernel file for you and the phone goes to hboot and you just accept the update and it flashes it for you.
s-off makes it easier to brick your phone. So it may be better to stay s-on until you get the hang of the Rezound way of doing things. I'm s-on and on the same global leak and I have no problem with it. The ROM I run, EclipticRez makes a PH98IMG file for the kernel so it's easy peasy.
So you are probably ready to flash a ROM. But I would check what recovery you have on there. Boot into bootloader as you did before then navigate to recovery. The two main ones used for the Rez are Amon Ra and TWRP. Amon Ra is currently at v3.16, I don't know about TWRP but you can find it in the Development section and find out. Then once you know you have the latest recovery you can flash a ROM. There should be instructions in the thread for how to flash the ROM and if you need the kernel separately the dev usually posts it for download, otherwise you have to pull it out of the ROM and flash it using fastboot.
Seems a lot to learn.
But, thank you guys.
I will keep searching the forum to find out more info before i decide to flash.
Thanks for al advices and nice to know you all here.

Mate,
It only show me blue texts around.

I did a restore menu before it only asking permission to restore without any info what kind of file to restore.
Any other solution how do i find out?
I have a rom toolbox and when i go to rom mamagement and flash recovery, please see attached file. That is all the list i got.
Edit: meh,,, you mention TWRP before.
Yes it is TWRP. So i need to find the latest one on forum and compare it with mines, right?

You do realize that you can use the 4 buttons at the bottom (Home, menu,...) to scroll and select in Amon Ra, right? Much easier than using the volume and power buttons.
So guys...

Hello everyone!
I recently purchased a Rezound and I want to jump into rooting/modding it. Im coming from the Samsung Fascinate, and that thing was super easy to root. I've searched the forums here but I just couldn't find a root guide. I want to flash Infection rom but I really don't know how to go about it. I don't know what this s-off and s-on business is about and I don't want to do anything to my phone without further research to prevent bricking my device. My software number reads: 3.14.605.13 710RD. I am running stock android 4.0.3. Could anyone please send me in the right direction to go about flashing custom roms on my new device? Thank you!

Thank you so much! i successfully installed infection rom and am using it with s-on buy flashing the boot.img after flashing the rom. i think i will stay away from s-off for now, but thank you again for your help
I was on the same OTA as you. Unlocked via HTCDev, flashed recovery in fast boot and superuser. From there you can flash ROMs while s-on. I went a step further using the unlimited.io website and got s-off.
If you stay s-on you need to have a computer to flash the boot.IMG from the ROM you want which is the kernel.

hey again guys, i just have a few questions.
Say if i were to want to flash a newer version of infection rom, would be okay to just wipe cache and dalvik then flash the newer version unless instructed by the dev to wipe everything? Also, since I am currently s-on, will i have to flash the boot.img everytime i flash a new custom rom or update infection rom?

I always wipe everything but yea you should be OK. If you change ROMs you have to flash the boot.img. I didn't stay son long so in not sure about updates. Try it if it doesn't boot then you have too.

I use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37061598 its the unofficial port of cm 10.1, stang is awesome enough to build an update every fourth night. So we do flash an update zip on top of our first flash and so on
If its an update to the ROM you should just be able to flash on top of it and wipe cache\dalvik cache. the only time you need a complete full wipe is if the android version changes from 4.2.2 which android version doesn't change often OR if you start having major issues.
As far as flashing the boot.img in bootloader every update. You should ask the dev or an s-on person using the rom. I wouldn't know because I s-off'd my rezound within the first 2hours of having it

Actually, it depends on the ROM. I use EclipticRez and Snuzzo and Hawknest have it set up to create a PH98IMG file of the kernel you choose in setup, it puts in in a folder so all you have to do as s-on is navigate to it in recovery and flash. So no need for a computer.
I've had the phone since it came out and I'm still s-on. Doesn't bother me a bit.
I looked into S-off for the Rezound and I found Hasoon2000s all in one tool kit found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1696394
I also read about how there no more support for windows OS for s-off. I'm not familiar with linux unfortunately (something i have to check off in my bucket list someday). Is there any way to achieve s-off while using windows?
I did the wire trick on windows 7, I search for a guide for you on xda. I'll edit the post if I found something
Edit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1612035 I found this. Its exactly what you need :thumbup:

v3.16 is what you want. You need to unzip it and flash it in fastboot:

Thanks.
So im looking for a full featured lightweight rom that has everything working. Neo has, well, a million roms out, needing something lean. Trying to move away from sense or maybe a desensed? Ideas?

You can try EclipticRez, I do believe there's a desensed option when installing but I'm not completely positive. If there is give it a go. It's really smooth and there's good, active support for it.
