What is the easiest way to root a stock Rezound with the latest ICS OTA? I'm not looking for custom ROM, simply root.
You still have to unlock the bootloader, flash a custom recovery and then flash supersu.

OK, so how would i do that, I'm seen some toolkit out there but it doesn't seem they have been modded for use with the latest OTA. I want root so I can wifi tether
I would start here:
http://htcdev.com/bootloader
Then flash this (v3.15):
Download it rename it PH98IMG.zip and place it on the root of your SDCard.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1339679
Then flash the attached in recovery.. thats it.

I don't know why there isn't a thread here for installing a temporary recovery then rooting as Scotty is on XDA too. I was HTVdev unlocked already, took the ICS OTA and then follwed Scotty's instructions for installing a temporaty recovery then rooting. Couldn't be any easier and the custom recovery is only there till you close adb then its gone. Much better option than permanently installing a custom recovery if you don't want one in the first place.

Easiest way is to simply use Hasoons all in one tool from the dev section. It runs all the commands for you from a GUI interface.

This is a useful thread guys - thanks to those of you helping those newer to rooting. If we follow these instructions, not bring rooted right now, do I have to wipe and reinstall all apps? I obviously can't run titanium backup without root. Thanks

You don't have to wipe all the apps, that will happen as you go through the root process. Since you can't use Titanium right now, what I did is write down the apps I had so I remembered to reinstall them. I bit of a pain but this way I didn't miss any.

Thanks! I asked on that particular thread, but you seem to have alot if knowledge on it, so I'll just ask here as well. Since I already have bootloader unlocked, do I just jump right over to the recovery selection, then to perm root? Also.. when do I need to plug my phone in and do I need to be just normal on or in the screen from volume down and power? Does it give superuser and busy box? Sorry about all the dumb noob questions, just don't want to brick this thing.

At least you're being nice about it, that counts for something, okay here goes:
1. Yes, go straight to recovery because you'll need it to root.
2. Rooting only gives you super user, not busybox, but you can always download busybox from the android market
3. You can be on normal screen or fastboot, it doesn't matter, the tool will detect which one you are on and reboot it into whichever screen it needs. Remember to turn usb debugging on so the tool can find the phone.
4. You can't brick if you're not s-off
You can also have a look see in the amaze bible thread, we give a lot of info about this device in there, I'd be happy to help you once you are willing to work with me as well and once you read instructions veeerry carefully before trying anything.
Gotta be nice when asking dumb questions! Lmao!!! I'm not completely new to this, my G2 was rooted and I was a flashaholic...Lol. For some reason, this just seems much more daunting.

Ignore the kernel option unless you're installing a new rom, no you don't need to backup if you're just rooting the device, but you can make a backup and keep it just in case you need it, it's not that daunting when you get the hang of it like I did, this was my very first HTC device, so unlike you, I didn't have a little previous experience lol.
Coachmoore - its safe to have atleast one backup before flashing a different Rom. Just in case the Rom you want to flash might of downloaded corrupt or if you get stuck in bootloops.
If you're using 4EXT recovery then don't worry about kernel flashing. It will flash it for you. Any other recovery won't.
Just he sure to let it boot 2times before thinking anything is wrong.

Ok,2 more questions and i promise ill shut up. I was gonna use a new rom so is that what it means by flash kernel? And it says this doesnt give s-off... i thought that was rooting. What is the difference? The whole reason for wanting to root is to use differe3nt roms, oc, etc... can u do that with s-on?

When in recovery, choose the backup/restore option to backup your current rom. S-off is not the same as rooting, read the amaze bible thread to know the difference of the two.

Your not s-off, and judging from the fact you can't boot cm, your not on hboot 1.12. Check out http://unlimited.io/dirtyracun.htm this will allow you to s-off and not have to worry about flashing the boot.img through fastboot.
I used regaw method of achieving root and it does s-off also, and like I said cm10 goes into bootloop

regaw_leinad's tool only unlocks your bootloader, through the method provided by HTC. You do not achieve s-off though that. If you boot into your bootloader, you will see s-on, the next line below where it says unlocked.

Personally, your much better off actually going with dirtyracun. If your s-off all you have to do is flash the rom.zip. If you dont wanna go that route, you need adb set up. After you have adb set up, just cd to what ever directory you extracted the boot.img out of the rom to, and type fastboot flash boot boot.img
sorry, I'm not gunna spoon feed ya through the process, but atleast it sends you in the right direction

Hello,
So whats going on is my QI wireless on my phone stopped charging. so i called verizon to get a replacement which they are overnighting tonight to me. so my question is, is there a way (step by step) to just put the Orignal Recovery Flash rom back on the phone and just lock the bootloader without resetting the phone? if so and do that. well the tamper disappear on the phone as well? ?? because they want the phone how it is. they dont want me to do a phone reset so they can see what cause the problem...
So 2nd question if i don't fix the rooting and ship the phone as is to verizon. Do you think i well get charged for rooting my phone???
Thanks!
Flash a stock rom and kernel, restore all your apps and stuff, delete any root apps, remove supreuser/SuperSU, flash the stock recovery, and relock if you feel like it. If you all that you should be good.
Or just ruu and relock your phone. As long as the problem still persists they won't care that you wiped it.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
I hope the new one doesn't come updated because if so you won't be able to root. I would restore the old one and see if the wireless charging works again if so you might want to keep it if the new one is updated.

The download on that post is a zip file, which you would flash in recovery to have a stock Rom. Then you would restore your apps, remove any root apps, remove superuser, put a stock recovery on there and relock.

Are you flashing the boot img in fastboot before installing in recovery? Most sense roms are over 500mb and have the same kernel so it boots up fine without flashing the boot img before hand. Aosp roms will require you to flash the boot img before hand if you're s-on

^This. You will need to put the boot.img in your ADB tools folder on your computer, put the phone in fastboot USB mode and use the command 'fastboot flash boot boot.img' to flash the kernel to your phone. A better solution is to get S-off so you don't have to mess with flashing the kernel separately .

Agreed. Best thing to do is get S-OFF! :good: :good: :good:
S-OFF is cake now. No reason NOT to do it. It will make all of this EASIER for you. Just up and do it.

From the thread I linked previously -
"You can also come by irc for support or just to say thanks: #FacePalm http://chat.andirc.net:8080/?channels=facepalm"
I know it can be scary, but you have to read the forum(s) and/or watch the video(s). Since you took the trouble to register on this site, don't rush and take the time to learn and understand by reading, reading, and more reading. It's not an overnight thing, but it does come eventually. It took me 6 months before I began to have a decent understanding of what I was doing with my first PC...
No offense, but we can't hold your hand as you cross the street. You have to take those first steps yourself. Read carefully, make notes that YOU will understand a day later... but you must take the responsibility for what happens to your phone.

Do I need to root to load a custom rom? Is s-off =root on htc? I guess I have deleted everything off the phone and now it is stuck at the white htc screen. I can get to recovery but did not perform any backups. I can get to bootloader and recovery and I guess need to sideload a rom. I haven't had time the last few days to try anything new. Thanks for the input, I need to fix my dna so I can get off of this note 2 I don't like. I don't understand why htc doesn't sell better.... my dna was the **** before I ruined it!
S-off is secure flag removed meaning you can install unsigned firmware (eng hboot) unlocked means you can write to system partition and other secure partitions. Root means you have an app (like supersu) able to have other apps execute admin (root for Linux) commands. If you have cwm installed, just side load a pre rooted Rom from development sections.
