I was using Revolutionary to root it, everything went good. When I fastboot my phone, I have the pink and white Revolutionary a long with S-OFF. However, the script froze when trying to install CWM as my recovery. Busybox and such says that my phone is not rooted when I try to run the revolutionary script, it says my phone is not supported. Help?
I have no recovery and apparently my phone isn't rooted.

Your on the right track dude you have not messed up at all. Revolutionary just turns S-ON to S-OFF so you can now flash a custom recovery
Download http://www.tinyw.in/1Rc and rename it to PG86IMG.zip and place it in the root of your SDCard (Name and Place is very important)

so I rooted my TB using super one click root. I restarted my phone and saw the superuser app in my drawer so to make sure I was rooted I downloaded titanium back and see if it gave me root access and I was able to gain root access to the app. So my next thing was to get Rom manager I downloaded that it asked for my root access I press allowed and I was able to use the app, I click flash clockword recovery and it successfully installed, so now I was going to download a Rom to my phone well i had a rom already. On my SD card so from Rom manager it says install Rom from SD card I click that found the Rom on my SD card checked off the wipe and back up and ok. Phone turns off and boot up on hboot on bootloader, so it didn't work I tried to go back in Rom manager click reboot in recovery and the phone shuts off and boot back into hboot bootloader. Now keep in mind I am rooted but I can't access the recovery I keep getting sent to hboot,
Can you get to CWR manually from the hboot menu? If not (and you have the latest RomManager and recovery), your recovery didn't flash. Erase and reflash it.
I was not aware that super one click worked on the tbolt. and even if it did you cant flash a custom rom with s-on. If i were you i would download root checker from the market , it will tell you if you are rooted correctly which i dought you are....
I don't think super1click does work on the tbolt. I just assumed he meant one of the other one-clicks like Easyroot or something. I didn't pay much attention to it because he claims he has SU and TiBu works.
Should be one of these:
RomManager needs updating.
Recovery needs reflashing/updating.
Hey guys thx for the replies well your right in the bootloaded or Hboot mode it does say S-on, and for some reason Super one Click work, cuz i tried to use the TB auto root click but it went half through the process as it was pushing the files, and it got stuck for like 20 mins didnt do anything, so i unhooked it and closed eveyrthing out and then tried the super one click and it did its process and a window pop up saying device rooted. so i restarted the phone and saw the superuser and to make sure i was rooted, i tried the Titanium back up, and was able to back up my apps, and then i got the wireless tether app and tried to used that and that work showing i had superuser permission. but the rom manager isnt working im able to open the app look at the rom it has on rom manager but when i go to flash rom from sd card it reboots in Hboot, with the S-on. i tried to go to recovery i press recovery and it boot back up in Hboot, so is there any suggestion should i unroot and use another method to root so that i can be able to get into clockword recovery.
You can't flash clockwork recovery with s-on.
Go here for s-off

So is it ok to do that revolutionary process with my TB in the condition its in (Root with S-on) or should i flash the MR2 file to restore it back to it factory state and then do the revolutionary process
I would say you are good to go ahead. Just jump right in. You are basically stock except that you can use root access apps.

Once you get S-Off, the whole point of rooting opens up to you. Great ROMs and no carrier bloat.
I've rooted my original Incredible and a Nook before with no problems. I didn't anticipate any problems here. From stock, I successfully flashed the latest ICS RUU (3.14) and unlocked the phone via Hasoon2000's kit. I confirmed in HBOOT that I was unlocked. When I tried to run the "Perm Root (GB/ICS)" command, it didn't work. There were a lot of "Device not found" errors in the terminal (yes, USB debugging was enabled at all times). My phone would try to reboot but then get stuck on the triangle/exclamation point screen.
After a few tries, I decided to manually root the phone. I rebooted normally (after taking the battery on and off) and used Hasoon2000's kit to install AmonRa. I then booted into recovery. I wiped cache and Dalvik cache and went into Developer Menu. I then chose "Install superuser and su." It seemed to do it correctly. I rebooted and made sure Superuser was installed and updated. At this point, I thought I had root access.
I installed Titanium Backup but it gave me an error that it couldn't acquire root privileges. I installed the Root Checker app and it also said I wasn't rooted properly. I don't know what I did wrong. Please help.

Yes, you need to be rooted to get S-off, so installing any of the roms will do.
S-OFF is a whole another process, you definitely need to be rooted first though.

I also got errors when tring to do the one-click root method. So try flashing the Amon-Ra recovery after you unlocked the bootloader. Reboot into recovery and then go to develpoer's menu and select root and something else in that menu. From there you are rooted. After that, follow this website to get S-OFF. I did mine last night and it went smooth. It took me a few times to do the wire trick, but I finally got it.
S-OFF Instructions
Cannot install custom ROM through adb fastboot.
Cannot root since display doesnt show hboot or recovery.

If you want stock, find your stock ROM in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1617644
Rename it to PH85IMG.zip and put it onto your external SD card. Boot into HBoot and it should automatically install the stock ROM. To root your stock ROM, use Hasoon's toolkit. It is literally fool proof.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1493905
If you want a custom ROM, you'll need to install a custom recovery. Again, use Hasoon's toolkit and follow the instructions
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1493905
After installing a custom recovery, download and put the custom ROM onto your external SD card. Boot into recovery, go to "install from SD card" and select your ROM that you want to flash.
PS. If you're having problems with your phone, you need to post in the Q&A forum. This is a development forum.
]I cannot see HBOOT or Recovery.
My display is not working correctly for some reason. I have flashed the stock RUU and unlocked the bootloader via the toolkit.
Now I am stuck because I cannot see the recovery screen to actually install the superuser.zip that the toolkit put onto my sdcard.
Do you see what I am saying here?
If I could simply see my HBOOT and recovery screens I would have this phone rooted in 1 minute. I am looking for a way to root manually via adv or another method because I cannot see the recovery screen to know what buttons to click.

What he needs is someone to tell him how many clicks of the volume button gets him to the correct selection
His screen is off when we would normally see the hboot or recovery screens...
I will help... But.. I can't post pics or screen shots... Can someone past these for him or get them up in the correct threads.
This guy will then see the available selections on his computer screen...

If I wanted a comeback outta you... I'd scrape the roof of your mouth...

hboot screen looks like this...
bootloader
reboot
reboot bootloader
power down
when you restart to bootloader it begins with bootloader already selected...volume down 1 time selects reboot...1 more time selects reboot bootloader...etc etc
push power button to activate selection.
i also use android ultimate toolbox to some basic adb commands with a UI from my windows 7 pc.
it also checks root flashed update.zips etc...check it out...it may help a bit as you can do some things quicker and more precisely with the UI than any command line...just remember some options are only for samsung (but they are marked with **)
i wouldnt reccomend it over hasoons toolkit but it does have built in file browser etc and i hate switching back and forth when im doing menial tasks in fastboot etc
Hi guys.
It's 2 days already I am trying to do s-off for my evo 3d. Maybe anyone got "up to date" thread where I can do this? My hboot is 1.49.0018, and GSM phone.
Because thread using hex and revolutionary method is out of date, and the main file PG86IMG.zip is no longer uploaded there.
Juopunutbear method requires stock RUU, but when I download from http://www.androidfiles.org/ruu/?developer=Shooter this version: RUU_SHOOTER_U_ICS_35_S_HTC_Europe_3.28.401.1_Radio_11.77.3504.00U_11.25.3504.06_M_release_262714_signed.zip I get wrong zip file when flashing. Name was too big for 4ext, but when I shorten name it's gives error.
Any ideas? :crying: Thanks..
EDIT: Got S-off, but have no root now..
You can't flash that through 4ext. You need to rename to PG86IMG.zip and put it on the root of your SD card. Then reboot into the bootloader and when it asks to update, hit volume up to say yes.
Make sure when you boot back up to delete the file from the sd card.
I believe your bootloader needs to be relocked before running the ruu as well.
fastboot oem lock
Personally I have seen many evo V users get s-off just by being on a stock based rom. Because there was no ruu available to them they went as close to stock as possible. Probably best to just follow the instructions though if you have that option.
Thanks Brian. Actually I did just like you said, but apparently that RUU version had 1.53.0007 hboot, so now I am on stock RUU with 1.53.0007 hboot.
Gonna try juopunutbear method first if I manage to install linux first haha.
Good luck! It's not too hard to make the live dvd/usb. There is a program you can download that will set it all up for you if you go to the ubuntu website. They have all the instructions for a live ubuntu dvd/usb.
So I finally made S-off using wire trick But got new problem so gonna ask here..
I am still on stock RUU, and I installed 4ext using Play store, but it's not working cause it says I need root. I installed busybox and SuperSu, but SuperSu won't work, it says: "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU can not install it, This is a problem!
I had root before I know for sure.. Also I can't go into recovery from bootloader because recovery does not exist. Can I flash 4ext through the bootloader renaming it PG86IMG.zip or it's not how it works?
Just downloaded several "root checker" apps, and all of them says I have no root access.
Thanks!
Edit: my hboot is 1.53.7777 now if that matters.
Edit2. I am on stock ROM, maybe that's why it does not work..?
EDIT: I've fixed everything, thanks.
Sorry, was asleep but glad to see you got it! I'm assuming you had to flash Super user to get the binaries installed? The app is just an interface.

Yes I flashed recovery using adb and then SuperSU using recovery And my root access came back.
First thank you for reading this thread.
I successfully unlocked the bootloader but I'm have trouble with the permanent root of my phone.
I connect my phone via usb, I disable htc sync and set the phone to charge only
usb debugging is active
I run "rEZoundRoot-v1.5-TheDr1ver" option 1, the device reboots to flashboot
and it looks like the root works from the messages in the program works
the device reboots. I run the batch again and choose option 2, to permanently
install amon ra and I then create a full backup then I reboot.
but when I check for root its not rooted!!????
help please

easiest method especially if you s-on is fastboot flash amon ra and go to advanced options or developer options in it and flash its su and superuser and binaries thats built into the recovery...if you plan on staying on ics or lower roms amon ra and s-on is good for you...if you flash any rom higher i highly HIGHLY suggest gaining s-off and using a recovery like twrp or cwm as they have been updated here in the threads specifically for jellybean and kitkat where as amon ra hasnt....also updating to most recent stuff like radios and hboot and kitkat roms while s-on puts you in a much higher risk of a brick as you will not be able to downgrade to fix a soft brick just in case things get messed up on your end...its only possible to fix a soft brick while s-off
thanks for the answer
I don't know about or understand the s-on/s-off thing. how do I s-off??? As I read your reply again I can tell you that I did exactly that when I rebooted I ran "rEZoundRoot-v1.5-TheDr1ver" again in option 2, which gave me access into amon ra and I installed su and superuser at that time but still no root, can you tell me how to find out if I'm s-on or s-off. are you automatically s-on if you have done nothing to obtain s-off??

You appear to be running ICS firmware, did you read the notes and information on TheDr1ver.com about this method of rooting? I am assuming not, as this is for Gingerbread only, it will not work on ICS.
Proper rooting of the Rezound is actually VERY simple, no tool or all in one is needed, just proper drivers, adb, and an unlocked bootloader.
1. Install adb and fastboot (usually the ADB SDK from Google appropriate for your machine)
2. Install drivers (if not already installed, use HTC Sync, install then remove the application)
3. Go to HTCDev.com and follow through the unlock process
4. Boot and/or flash a recovery like Amon Ra/TWRP/CWM
5. Flash SuperSUxxx.zip in recovery
6. Reboot and go to the SuperSU app and update binaries if necessary
Done, permanent root. With ICS there is no real "one click" method of rooting, GB had some exploits that some scripts could temp root, then permanent root, but they don't work in ICS or are no longer supported.
Sorry, but you really should just to do it the manual way, there are tons of step-by-step tutorials on the various forums.
ok

Ok i'm already able to flash into Amon Ra and within the Amon Ra recovery I have made a full backup and, under the "developer options"
tab I installed su. So since I'm apparently part rooted because I can flash into amon ra but there is a problem when attempting to install su from Amon Ra so I'll read some more because I don't want to brick my phone.

OK, then do it manually...
1) Download UPDATE-SuperSU-vx.xx.zip from http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu, where x.xx is the current version (1.94 at the time of this posting) and place it in the root of your external storage (SD Card)
2) Reboot and start Amon Ra
3) Install/Flash UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.94.zip
4) Wipe cache and dalvik (do not wipe/format anything else)
5) Reboot (will take longer than normal, be patient)
6) Open SuperSU and update the binary (it will prompt you if it needs to)
7) Go to Settings tab and scroll down to SYSTEM section, and select "Install SuperSU into /system", if it is grayed out and you can't select it, then it is already there. Reboot immediately if prompted.
8) Open the Play Store and install BusyBox and Root Checker
9) Open BusyBox and grant it root permissions, after it goes through it's checks it should say something about "BusyBox xxxxx is installed. Busy Box is installed to /system/xbin", Select Busybox 1.22.1 will be installed to /system/xbin and click INSTALL at the bottom and allow it to finish, then close Busybox
10) Reboot
11) Open Root Checker and tab Verify Root, you should be good to go.
If this doesn't work, I would replace Amon Ra with TWRP or CWM and do it again.
I would really suggest twrp... ....when I first rooted and installed twrp the first thing it asked me when on stock before I rebooted was right before I rebooted, would you like to install su? I swiped to flash rebooted checked and su was working perfectly.... I would suggest that.....
