You can now unlock your rezound's bootloader at http://htcdev.com/.
Just follow the steps on htcdev.com, and at the last step you will have a factory reset. So, please make sure you do a backup before attempting this unlock trick. (Thanks to NilsP for pointing this out)
Bootloader unlock will grant perm root and possibility of flashing customized roms.
Note: S-on remains
BE AWARE:
bootloader unlock will VOID your rezound's WARRANTY, I am not responsible for any damage it may cause
[INSTRUCTIONS]:
[Prerequisites:]
HTC Sync (Windows Only)
HTC Super Tool
Enable USB Debug on Rezound
Use Charge Only mode when connected to PC
Exit HTC Sync on PC
[Steps:]
1. Go to HTCDEV website: http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/
2. Click on "Begin Unlock Bootloader" (create a user if you don't have one)
3. Use HTC Super Tool in the [Prerequisites] to generate your token. (Or, alternatively, follow the instructions step 1 through step 10 on htcdev.com)
4. In step 10, when posting your token, make sure you remove the blanks preceding each line
5. After you receive your Unlock_code.bin in email, follow step 11.
6. Now your rezound should reboot and you have your bootloader unlocked.
Now you are unlocked. You can follow the following threads to obtain perm root, flash recovery, flash new kernel, and overclock.

To uninstall the bloatware, try ROM Toolbox
Umm
WOW ... how exactly do you do this, and more importantly, can it be re-locked if you need to do a warranty exchange?
yeah, it does not show up in the list. But you can just go and do it. The Vivid forum is saying the same happened to their model.
Dammit! I almost jumped out of my seat when I saw this post! Booo!!!
And it worked. I am now "UnLocked"
And factory reset. Forgot about that
Sooo.....
What's the deal here? We got a free pass from HTCDev?
Now we have perm root and can flash roms from stock recovery?!?

Slow your roll....All we have is the ability to write to the system partition if I understand the "unlock" properly. S-ON still prevents rewriting the recovery partition. But perm root, yes.

I mean I admit I'm excited, but I didn't say anything about CWM or a new recovery. Notice I said flashing roms from stock recovery, which is what this unlock should allow, correct?

I wonder if this is a fluke from HTCDev and if they will revoke it.
I hope not, this is like the flood gates opening for devs to start cooking roms

You need an app like Titanium backup(which requires root), there are others but Titanium does a pretty complete job.

If you read the warning on htcdev.com it says that unlocking your phone may void certain warranty conditions. Usually if you need to return it you just put your phone back to stock or smash it on the curb and take the $50 hit in insurance ;-)

That's not correct. You *CAN* flash a recovery partition and then flash ROM's.
I even wrote a tool for the Evo 3D that will flash recovery for you. I will port it over tonight... Next step... Find a recovery, lol

Do you currently have a bootloader that is S-OFF (thanks to LazyPanda/DirtyRacun)?
Do you need to take your phone into Sprint for repairs, and want to set it to S-ON again?
This guide will show you EXACTLY how to go from S-OFF to S-ON again. Not only that,
but it will be like you just got your phone brand new from Sprint again, ***LOCKED*** and S-ON.
This sure looks like a lot of steps, but it's not really. I've just detailed everything out
so there is no confusion.
This process wipes your phone completely including internal storage (internal sdcard).
It does NOT wipe your external sdcard (the one you physically put in the device).
Requirements
Download one of the following bullet points:
1.13.651.1 RUU - MIRROR (Windows ONLY) - af533d16d6131c7bbd4ef281441cc096
PJ75IMG.zip (External Sdcard Required) - a429f8150560433c264887e3d85ba368
And also download the RegawMOD S-ON Writer Utility (Windows ONLY - SOURCE) - 05d6800bd66f7a9150f64fd203230ccf
Steps
This guide assumes that you have either the HTC drivers from my rooter
or LazyPanda S-OFF installed (since you used them to gain S-OFF/root).
Charge you battery to above 50% (preferably fully charged)
Make sure your phone is connected to the computer and make sure Settings > Developer options > USB debugging is checked on your device.
If you would like to skip making a nandroid backup, skip now to Step #10 if you downloaded the RUU, or Step #11 for the PJ75IMG.zip
Reboot to recovery. If you don't know how to do that, download my RegawMOD Rebooter and use that.
Press "Mount" and make sure the following are checked on
Unmount Cache
Unmount SDCard
Unmount Internal
Using external SDCard (this is vital, because the following process wipes your internal sdcard)
Press the back button to get to the main menu.
Press "Backup" and swipe the slider to the right to begin your nandroid backup.
Once complete, press "Back" to go to the main menu.
Press "Reboot" then "System" to reboot back into Android.
If you'd like to backup the nandroid to your computer, do that now by mounting your sdcard to your computer and copying it over.
If you downloaded the PJ75IMG.zip instead of the RUU, skip to Step #11 NOW
Now it's time to run the RUU on your computer. Double click on the exe to run. The following tells you what to do on each screen of the RUU
Check the box next to "I understand the caution indicated above and have reviewed the ReadMe." then click "Next"
Check the box next to "I have completed the steps indicated above" then click "Next"
Click "Update"
Click "Next"
Click "Next". The RUU will begin to update your phone
This process will take ~10 minutes and sometimes up to 20. Be patient!
Click "Finish" when it completes. Once complete, your phone will begin to boot into Android.
Now skip to Step #17
Copy the PJ75IMG.zip you downloaded onto your external SDCard. You can either:
Select Disk Drive mode instead of Charge Only from your device's drop down menu. Then select Charge Only again once it's done copying.
Remove your sdcard and put it in a card reader in your computer (put it back in the phone after)
(Advanced) Run the command 'adb push PJ75IMG.zip /sdcard/ext_sd/'
Power your device completely off. (We are preparing to boot into the bootloader)
Hold Volume-Down and Power until it boots into the bootloader.
This make take a few tries to get into the bootloader, it's finiky.
The 3 button LED's will flash a few times, this is normal.
The "Enable Fastboot" option in Settings > Power has nothing to do with booting into the bootloader (even though many think it does)
The PJ75IMG.zip will automatically start being read. This takes a LONG time (up to 20 minutes depending on sdcard speed).
When it asks you if you want to flash, press Volume-Up to accept. This will also take up to 20 minutes to flash.
Your device may reboot a few times as well, this is normal. The only downside is that it has to reload the PJ75IMG.zip again. Again, normal.
When it's completely finished flashing and prompts you, press the Power button to reboot the device.
Once it's fully booted, skip all of the setup details by pressing "Next"/"Skip" and enable USB Debugging (See Step #2).
You can sign in to things if you want, just for time sake I say to skip it here.
Go into Settings > Developer options and check USB debugging (make sure it's on)
Now it's time to run the RegawMOD S-ON Writer Utility you downloaded to your computer earlier
After double clicking the exe, you will be asked if you want to run the utility. Type either y or Y and hit enter to accept.
It will run automatically and tell you what it's doing along the way.
If there are any errors, it will tell you as well.
You may get an extra reboot after it writes S-ON, it's normal.
You may get the Hands-Free-Activation pop up as well, that's normal as well.
If the RegawMOD S-ON Writer Utility runs all the way through without errors, you are now fully stock! Congrats!
You now have S-ON and ***LOCKED*** on your bootloader and there is no way to prove that it wasn't!
Post any questions here, or join me in #RegawMOD on irc.freenode.net - WEBCHAT
Consider donating to me to support my work. It is much appreciated and respected by myself.
If not, please hit the "Thanks" button on this post! That also helps me out. OR you can do a tasteful combination of both

Awesome. Thanks for this, I have no doubt people will find it highly useful (though I hope I never need to use it!)
Just to let everyone know, I tested this whole process 6 times (including lazypanda s-off again). Trust me, this guide took a LONG time to write up correctly. Let me know if there are any huge mistakes, it's 5am here and I stayed up all night getting this ready for everyone and I'm pretty tired.

Any very detail guide like this to get S-off from stock ROM that has been rooted?
Do you need to relock the bootloader before running the RUU?

Running the RUU reverts you to the stock HBOOT, which you cannot do without relocking your bootloader first.

Ok, thanks! Just wanted to be sure there were no ill-effects from locking on modded version.
If you try to re-lock the bootloader BEFORE flashing back to a stock hboot you will PERMANENTLY brick your phone. Just do everything in the order the OP has it. I relocked following this post exactly and it worked just fine.

I was under the impression that an RUU could not be ran unless your bootloader was locked. That's how it was was my HTC Jetstream and I believe I have read that within these forums a few times as well. Please correct me if I am wrong though.

EDIT: Actually, never mind. You are right, I guess that since LazyPanda changes it to just ---LazyPanda--- instead of ***Locked***, you wouldn't need to relock before running the RUU since it technically isn't considered unlocked anymore.

Thats what I always thought. Anyway we can get some clarification on this? I tried to run the ruu before relocking the bootloader and it gave me a error message. I cracked my screen and needed to take my phone back to Best Buy but just decided to flash the stock rooted rom after it gave me the error message.
How do I root it? Can someone link a program that is easy to use, and I want to install that buttsmooth rom that's on the development section the jellybean one. But is talks about s on and I'm confused, please im new to all this.
You must first unlock the boot loader. There is a complete guide in dev section. Do a quick search its on first or second page. I just unlocked boot loader, rooted and s-off plus sim unlocked mine. Its easy if you READ the steps carefully .

You need to get hasoon's AIO tool, not the S-OFF one, but the other one. That tool will guide you into unlocking your bootloader.
Rooting steps: Unlock bootloader, install recovery, then flash superuser.
Keep in mind that unlocking bootloader will wipe everything, so backup anything you want to keep.
Also, what is this 'butt smooth' rom you speak of?

You can only really backup your apps via titanium back up or similar app from the play store, and move anything on the phone memory to your sd card.

Now back to the OP's question, if you want to backup sms, i recommend SMS Backup & Restore, it's an excellent app.
Also, to install that rom, you need to unlock the bootloader first, install a custom recovery, 4EXT is recommended, and then root the device. After doing that, ROM installation is a bit different if you are running GB rom currently, or ICS rom. We need that info before you try to flash that ROM

You don't need the sdk, hasoon's tool has all the required files for what you need to get done, simply choose the unlock bootloader option and follow all steps to get it done, hasoon's tool can get the token and unlock the bootloader for you though.

Yes, brick my phone, my htc evo 3D with Hboot 1.58, Unlocked Bootloader.. I tried to flash the CyanogenMod Gangnam Style, with 4ext recovery, and stuck on Boot Animation.. I accidentally format system in te recovery, there is a solution? Thanks!
If you are s off you need to do downgrade your boot loader. If you are s on you needed to do the write trick then downgrade your boot loader.
To get your phone in order now, Download a sense 3.6 rom and format everything but sd card in recovery and flash it, Make sure you read up on the requirements to flash next time, All roms have certain hboot's you have to be on.

You can not install Cm 10 or 9 with Hboot 1.58..... you need to S-off and downgrade it to hboot 1.49 ....do the wire trick to downgrade it.....ATM you still can get to bootloader right?? so it is sofbrick and very easy to fix....download the correct RUU and flash it...With hboot 1.58 you can install rom with sense only...

To get your phone in order now, Download a sense 3.6 rom and format everything but sd card in recovery and flash it, Make sure you read up on the requirements to flash next time, All roms have certain hboot's you have to be on.

Alright, You're allowed 8 thanks a day, I expect to see some of them lol.
Hey guys, so I've been reading through the forums for a week and I have never rooted, so please forgive me if I am missing something.
I recently picked up a Verizon HTC One Max and thought why don't I give rooting a shot. I did some research (not enough apparently) and was attempting to use Rumrunner. After that wouldn't work I attempted to do the CyanogenMod easy root (sorry if I have that wrong) and that did not work as well, I eventually stumbled upon having to get on to HTC Dev, so I i attempted to unlock my Boot Loader, and found that you are unable to do that Via HTC Dev.
So my question to you seasoned vets, is can anyone point me to a step by step how to for first timers on Verizon running HBOOT 2.49 and are on 4.4.2. Like I said I know I am really new, and still not sure how to go about flashing a new ROM once rooted, but I will get there in time. Thanks to any help in advance guys.
Check out this link. I think this would work for you.

I'm not really experienced, might want to wait for one of the pro's to confirm before you try.... I except no responsibility. lol
Still having some issues. Tried running rumrunner again and it'll get to "packing bottles" and than error out with unexpected behavior.
Tried doing the weak sauce/Forrester method and supersu will error out.
Any other ideas?
Have you unlocked your bootloader with HTC dev? If not try firewater. temp root and then s-off and it will unlock your bootloader at the same time then you can go about flashing custom recovery and then try custom ROMs. That's the way I went but I'm on international build

Or look on firewater website at the weaksauce s-off option and try again.

Yeah sure but I'm in UK so getting late here drop me a pm and I'll get back to you. Your best option is after work trying firewater. Have you ever rooted/unlocked/s-offed a phone before..? Do you know how to use adb and fastboot?
FINALLY!
Bootloader is Unlocked.
And I am S-OFF
Had some troubles with getting weak sauce to cooperate, finally just installed it on the phone itself and ran it. Than pushed firewater and worked with it in ADB.
On to the next project. Big thanks to nathlynn22, tip my hat to you boss.

That's cool mate does take abit of getting used to but in the end when it works you think yeeessss. Haha. On to flashing ROMs now just make sure you make a backup of you stock ROM as there is a shortage of ruus
just got my max too, but having the damnest time rooting this device.. have no clue.. rumrunner, and what not.. my note 3 was way easier....
any step by step help out htere?
i am on verizon
Ok if you want to go to power setting turn off fastboot and then go to boot loader by turning phone on with vol down to check hboot.

Oh actually just noticed your on Verizon should you could use same as op and find firewater s-off in HTC one max General and use the weaksauce firewater method to temp root s-off and unlock boot loader. Then you need to flash corresponding custom recovery so cwm or twrp cm ready or twrp depending on roms you want to flash. After you flashed custom revovery you can root when you reboot from that then take a nandroid backup of stock Rom and then flash custom mods etc.
