Just wanted to let you guys know that I still have root after I installed the OTA. I will give a few steps what I did in a few minutes.
These are the steps I used. Took a while (seemed like forever) but at least I am updated and with root. I originally came from an ICS rom then I had to flash a stock rom then RUU.
1. Flashed stock recovery (Link below)
2. Locked bootloader (fastboot oem lock)
3. Flashed RUU 1.02.605.6 (link below)
4. Installed OTA (check for new software updates when booted)
5. Unlocked bootloader (http://www.htcdev.com/)
6. Flashed RA recovery (found in forum)
7. Installed su and superuser under Developer menu under RA recovery
8. BAM!!!!!!!
The RUU I used was found at http://www.scottsroms.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=37
Thanks scrosler for having that available!
The stock recovery can be downloaded at http://db.tt/tw5m33ZG. Unzip and flash in Fastboot using command "fastboot flash recovery recovery_signed.img"
Can you post a link to the RUU and stock recovery you used ? Thanks.

I kept on getting an error with it being unlocked about signature error. So I locked it and it finally worked.
Can you make a very detailed step-by-step process, including commands, adb, etc., that you used?
thx

I put very general commands and info beside the steps in the first post. PM me if you have any questions.
So does it seem like it's worth it? How's reception and call quality with the new radios?
What radio versions does your phone list now?
I just rooted. I still have my original stock ruu. It's rooted though. Could I update with that or do I have to unroot?

If it lets you update then go for it. Just make sure your bootloader is unlocked after the update then install su and superuser and you got root back basically.
So if I just uninstall su I can update? I have amon ra as my recovery. What about that??

You would need the stock recovery. RA would cause it to fail.

Right on! So I'll uninstall su and push the stock recovery and see what happens. No relock required cause it's my og ruu. Cool.

It won't work because (I'm assuming) that his mainver was updated. AFAIK the RUU won't run a "newer" mainver.
I already Unlocked my HTC Rezound but I am not able to root it using the oneclickroot method. i get Fail and error messages but it tell me it was successfully rooted. No Super user app.
Can anyone Help me with this? Im I missing something? doing anything wrong?
Thanks!
You must have the update then. OneClick root doesn't work any more.
Just download and flash Amon Ra in fastboot, then go to the developer menu in that and install su. Then I believe you need to update it from the Market. The you'll be rooted and ready to flash a custom ROM.
To flash Amon Ra, just put in in the same folder you used for the unlocking and use the following command:
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img
Also, if you are planning on flashing an ICS ROM you might want to use v3.10. Otherwise go with the latest which I think is still v3.14.
Thanks, that worked.

You do know that it is recommended to not use clockworkmod on the Rezound and to use Amon Ra instead right? Even a post above your suggested doing that.
i did the update too cause i just bought the damn phone.
all i want to root for is to delete bloatware and install a screen recorder. i do not want a custom install. yes i unlocked the phone using the all in one tool provided in a forum from here. but what does this update do? since i have it does that mean it didnt even unlock also? somebody plz help need root.

I just posted an answer in the thread you started.
Ok well I finally decided to unlock the bootloader now that we have S-off. Anyway, so I started the process and I got to the point where I am trying to root the phone. I run the one click script and it goes through the process and says it completes and that I am perm rooted, but up above that there are a bunch of errors about the file system not being read/write or something along those lines so it is not installed busybox or super user, etc.
What am I doing wrong?
Nevermind, I think I figured it out. I didn't realize you could install su from Amon Ra.
I had the same problem. Even after I reflashed from Recovery. I had to flash the binary zip from the su site
Yeah the guides that have one click need to be updated... One click no longer works.

If you're wanting to unlock or root, hasoon2000 All-In-One Toolkit works great. The only thing you will need to remember is that after you are done, you may need to go back into recovery and flash the newest superuser binary.zip to gain successful root.

Thanks! Good to know, anyone have a good guide on restoring back to stock and unrooting should the need ever arise?
Forgot to add what's the difference between using Amun Ra vs Clockwork couldn't find much information other then majority use Amun Ra for Rezound

no, it works for the previous firmware. 2.0.1 and up one click does not work.
It worked for me on the new firmware leak right after flashed while still stock and unrooted. All I had to do was flash the updated binary.zip file from the superuser site afterwards followed by flashing superuser from amon ra recovery. Took me a while to realize I needed to update the binary though, otherwise the all in one works fine.
I've just updated to ICS via OTA, unlocked, flashed amonra, installed su from amonra (rooted).
Titanium Backup cannot get root rights.
Superuser (3.1.3) shows outdated binary (3.0.3). When I click "check for updates" and then Update, it downloads new binary, but then says "Gaining root access... fail!"
What's wrong? Am I really rooted?
Please help!

Download this one. Check here for others. The efghi in the zips file name stands for eclair, froyo, gingerbread, honeycomb and ice cream sandwich. So if you are running one of those you are good to flash it.

I tried a few versions of SuperUser from the author's website, but they did not work.
I used SuperSU.zip instead. flashed it with Ramon ra recovery. Works ok.

i know what you mean.. i flashed the OTA update over on the "ICS is Live" thread and even when i installed SU through AmonRa (Developer Menu), it said i wasnt rooted in the root checker app. so what i did, is i had a zip of of the SU and i flashed THAT and now i have root access. i'll share the zip i flashed in an attachment.
Which version of Amon Ra are you using? I tried reflashing 3.15 after updating to ics .12 and I can't get it to load. When I try to enter recovery I just reboot like normal.

Exactly how did you try to reflash...via ph98img or fastboot command...if fastboot commands, you need to flash jb hboot.

im running AmonRa v3.15 ...when i booted up after OTA Flash (i had no root or AmonRa recovery), i downloaded an Explorer app so i could remove the PH98IMG.zip. then i proceeded to unlock the bootloader via HTCDev, flash AmonRa via CMD, then i tried flashing SU via developer menu but no go, so then i flashed the SU that i had on my SDcard (Posted in previous comment) and WALAAA i had root. then i proceeded to Update SU via its app.. no problems so far.

I had the same exact issue when I updated my wife's phone and I've been stumped ever since. Of course, I only now stumbled on this thread. :silly:
When I installed the OTA update on my phone...I immediately decided to S-OFF and installed ViperRez. I have no issues.
When I installed the OTA update on my wife's phone...I stayed S-ON and installed ViperRez. I then got the same message in Titanium Backup and none of ViperTweaks work. Everything else works great...but any "root-involved" operations won't. I installed BusyBox...that didn't work either. I updated Superuser...that didn't work. I think I even installed SuperSU...which didn't do a thing. I then tried OneClickRoot_1.1, which actually said it successfully perm rooted...but it still didn't work. I'll definitely try to flash Superuser when she gets home though. I was afraid I was going to have to redo everything.
I found THIS POST over on one of the other threads on ICS problems and it worked perfectly. I now have Superuser installed, did the update, and I am rooted.
Ugh...still not working for me.
First I flashed Superuser 3.1.3 in AmonRa. The AOSP lockscreen and some of the custom text all suddenly changed. Yet Titanium Backup still wouldn't get root. I then flashed 3.0.7. and it still wouldn't work. I then updated Superuser and Titanium Backup (reinstall) and I still can't get root in Titanium Backup and the ViperTweaks locks up whenever it wants to restart the phone or restart Sense. I also tried the script from the previous post, and that didn't work. This is my wife's phone by the way...she's on OTA ICS, S-ON, and on ViperRez.
I'm at a loss for what to do next....
just try TWRP then user the super user from google market
Thank you...but unfortunately, that didn't work either. Titanium still won't work and root checker says it's not rooted. Superuser installed perfectly though...really weird.:crying:
I updated my DNA to 4.4.2 and it still says unlocked and s-off on my boot loader screen but apparently I don't have root... And my laptop just crapped out the motherboard so I am wondering if there is any other way to gain root access and install a custom recovery without a computer since I can't install superuser from my phone itself?

Neither of them will work for me. Gooim manager says "attempting to reboot to recovery and if this fails you should do so manually" after a few minutes it doesn't reboot so I reboot manually (vol-down and power) and it reboots to stock recovery and does nothing.

If you are s-off and unlocked your're rooted, mean you just need flash Superuser updated
from recovery. try https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.rommanager&hl=en
I'm in the same situation, took the update and lost root. Weaksauce says I'm rooted but any app requiring root access says I'm not rooted. Also, ever since the update I can't get into recovery. Has the method been changed?
