So, what the hell.
Ran the RUU, got back to stock, re-unlocked the bootloader.
Now I tried to run the One-click root, and every single time it fails to install busybox and superuser.
I really (really) don't want to be stuck with temp-root and I don't know what else I can do.
Help?
OneClick doesn't work any more after OTA.
If you don't already have it, flash Amon Ra. If you are going to use an ICS ROM you might want to use v3.10, otherwise use the new v3.14. Flash it in fastboot.
Then once it is flashed go to the devoloper menu of it and install su. You are then rooted.
follow the instructions in my sig

I freaking love you and your helpfulness. I'll try that
Tried to flash con47's AmonRa recovery and it gave me the error
"Main Version is older!
Update failed!"
Which RUU did you run? Did you download the OTA amonra version?

You can grab the latest version in the Amon Ra thread and flash it in fastboot. Fastboot doesn't care about mainver.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1339679
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img
Make sure you type .img or you will get an error.
There's also a PHzip file of it in the thread. Personally I prefer using fastboot rather than using a PHzip file for everything cuz then you have to keep track of what they are, kernel, recovery, etc... and I don't think you can tell what version of whatever it is is in there.
I keep the latest Amon Ra in my adb/fastboot folder so it's always there if I need to flash it.
con also made Awesome Recovery Tool to automate mainver errors if you want to go that route. I've heard it's, well... Awesome!
I had someone give me a .zip to flash that gave me SU because Amon Ra's root wasn't sticking.

Problem solved. Thanks to everyone that responded. I really do appreciate it!!!!
What exactly did you flash? The Mainver error only relates to the kernel IIRC.
The only thing I tried to flash was the custom recovery after I accidentally ran the ota update with the custom recovery still on my phone. When I should've flashed back to the stock recovery before accepting the update. And now I can't get into custom recovery. When I try to reflash armon ra it won't take. I've lost root access even though I have superuser still on my phone.

how are you trying to reflash Amon Ra ? , what recovery do you boot into ? As long as your still unlocked you should be able to flash Amon Ra through Hboot it has nothing to do with root access at that point. Even odder that the OTA flashed through the custom recovery, thought it would error out and not take if it wasn't the stock recovery. Unless you ran Con's Stock rooted, but then you wouldn't have an issue with superuser or root access.
Should be able to flash stock recovery through fastboot relock and RUU then if you really are stuck. Otherwise , no reason you shouldn't be able to reflash Amon Ra and reroot through recovery.

I take it the phone can't boot up at all? Have your tried fastboot flashing the stock kernel?

I'm trying to flash it in hboot as ph98img. And when I go to recovery it seems to go to the stock recovery with the little phone and a green circle but shortly after it turns into the red triangle and phone symbol.
Try flashing the recovery in fastboot. Download the latest version of AmonRa here and extract the recovery-ra-vigor-3.13-gnm.img. Take that file and place it in the same file directory you place the tools to unlock your bootloader (needs to be in the same directory as fastboot.exe).
Put your phone into bootloader and connect to PC and flash the recovery-ra-vigor-3.13-gnm.img in fastboot using the command:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-ra-vigor-3.13-gnm.img

Nice! Glad to help
i have been searching these forums for the past few days and have come up dry.. i have an htc rezound and I want the OTA BUT i have perm rooted it and removed most (if not all) the bloat... how do i go about rebloat and relocking my phone? i have tried using cleantool and it keeps waiting for the phone or it just fails all over itself repeatedly
edit: i have it set to charge only, sync is off and closed, and it is in fastboot mode. I have also tried something I found on here which seems like it is very similar to cleantools with less functionality and it just says <waiting for device> indefinitely

There are a few different ways to do it. Easiest way I did it to make it foolproof, is flash stock recovery if your on a custom recovery and relock phone and run the RUU. It will put you back to stock and you can just download the OTA and update it, then Unlock and flash Amon Ra recovery and from the developer menu install SU and superuser to reroot.
If you need more instructions , just ask otherwise to me that was the easiest way.
P.S. Just be aware the internal SD card gets wiped after you unlock again so move anything off the internal SD to the external SD that you want to save prior to unlocking again.
I didnt take the ota, I used cons ota rom.. this was my steps for that
1) download rom from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1467329
2) boot into recovery, flash rom....
here you can go two ways, if you dont want the new baseband, it will flash the ph98img and not do anything, if you want the new radios I will tell you how I did it, then tell you where you need to start if you wont want them.
3)perform nandroid
4)via adb (thing you used to unlock originally) fastboot oem lock YOU ARE NOW LOCKED.
5)boot into hboot it will flash the ph98img
6) Unlock bootloader (find the email with the unlock.bin code and follow those instructions)
7)Reboot phone
8)connect to pc, charge only usb debugging enabled
9)run one click root
Proceed with this if you get the mainver error ONLY otherwise if having wifi issues, proceed to step 13
10) after rooted follow this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1467099 NOTE, op in the thread supplied his miscnew.img USE IT!
11)Read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459347&highlight=mainver it will explain how to get the ph98s to work.
11a) do the ph98 file thing to the ph98 img in amon ra to get it to flash in bootloader
12) after amon ra is restored, perform restore nandroid.
If wifi is not working, even if you dont have mainver issues do step 13
13) If having wifi issues as in not working go to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1467793 and follow instructions EXACTLY!!!
Now you should be running new radios, hb2.11, the 2.6 kernel etc.
You will have to follow the post in step 11 to get any ph to work from now on.
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK YOUR PHONE, BURN YOUR HOUSE DOWN OR ABDUCTED BY ALIENS BY FOLLOWING THE ABOVE INSTRUCTIONS.
im having some trouble getting into recovery because clockworkmod says it does not have an officially supported recovery... how do i manually install one?
Assuming you installed a recovery, just boot to Hboot. Pull the battery, then hold the power button and volume down button. Once in Hboot you can choose Recovery.

To flash a recovery do the above steps to get into hboot (power down, pull battery, hold volume down and power buttons) and once you are in hboot, choose fastboot. Then connect to your pc and in the pc cmd prompt type:
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img (name of stock recovery you need to download, trying to find a link for you...)
That will put the stock recovery on the phone, then you can run RUU to get the rest back to stock and you can then accept the OTA.

got it! OTA and everything.. debating on rerooting for a bit thanks a lot everyone! +rep
All you have to do to reroot now is flash Amon Ra and then install su from within that. So it's super easy at this point.
su seems to have remained installed.... no root but su is definitely still installed! the only reason i am going to wait on rerooting is so i can learn more about it before i flash or anything
Yeah, it will show up in your apps but it doesn't work properly until you reinstall. I thought I had remained rooted but when I went to use Titanium Backup it couldn't get root access, then after I reinstalled su it worked fine.
But yeah, if you don't need it yet don't worry about it. The only good reason to do it is to use TiBU to save all your settings and if you have Amon Ra you can make a nandroid of your phone so that if something happens you have a backup image of everything and can restore it very easily via Amon Ra. You can still stay on stock ROM etc... the only thing you would need to flash is the Amon Ra recovery.
ya i see what you mean... I also want to get rid of this unbelievable amount of bloat... geez their are a ton of useless verizon apps never mind the stupid games
Hey guys no root ways are working for me. I flashed TWRP recovery and in recovery im using the AIO toolkit and hitting root, but its a no go.
Any ideas?
Have you tried Amon Ra recovery?
If your on GB use amonra to root if your on ICS that won't work anymore you just install the latest amonra and flash a Rom they are usually pre-rooted.
Sent from my Sense4 ICS Rezound
Download hasoons rootkit from the dev section. Unlock bootloader, reboot, run "Install amon-ra", let it reboot etc., then run perm root **it needs to finish rebooting into amonra recovery. Once it has gotten back to recovery the rootkit script should be paused. hit enter to get it to continue and it will install superuser.
amon ra worked!!!
thanks everyone
I'm looking for 4.03.605.2 with just root, any rom out there like that? I just want to be on 4.03.605.2 w/ root and 2.27 hboot. If there isnt a rom out do I just flash the 4.03.605.2 RUU? How do I get recovery and root? And btw 4.03.605.2 is the most up to date RUU, correct?
It is the most recent ruu but an ota update was released not to long ago but feedback from the ota update isn't so good, BTW you gain root from in the recovery. You flash recoverys through fast boot commands but I forgot what they are since I haven't had to re root in a long time but they should be in the recovery thread but if not than Google or something
Edit: forgot to answer part of the question Lol but yeah flashing the latest ruu will give 2.27 hboot and you can choose a ROM after that or you can stick with stock

theirs 5 mirrors of it so check each one some are slower than others based on how far the server is from where you are
then to root just go to recovery and select "Developer Menu" than select "install su & Superuser" dont select the unguarded version!
than when you reboot to the stock Rom make sure to install a superuser app to take control of root

I think the OP needs to do the PH98IMG.zip of the recovery from the SD card in the Bootloader, because without a modified HBOOT he won't be able to use adb commands, IIRC
I am running a rooted Rez with Amon Ra Recovery which is otherwise stock ICS. I have tried three times to install the latest Global OTA. Each time the install fails after an attempt is made to install the downloaded package. The phone reboots into Amon Ra and I see the following messages.

Found out hard way: you can't just be on the last official RUU (3.14.605.12) to get the new update from Verizon.
ALSO dammit you have to have previously taken the small February update to 3.14.605.13. The update's name mentions
605.13 in its title. The problem is that you can't get that little update anymore!!!!
Those of us with only 605.12 may have to wait until the next RUU is issued. Gripes me.

In February, Flyhalf205 uploaded the 605.13 OTA.zip in another thread.
The one I could not find anywhere.
You take that little one, rename it update.zip, and flash in hboot.
Do a factory reset and it'll boot up.
Then you can get the current OTA from Verizon.

I was on 605.13 stock ICS, rooted and with Amon Ra recovery. I grabbed the 605.12 recover and flashed it and relocked the boot loader. I have tried multiple times to run the OTA (both pulling from Verizon and by putting it on the SD card). It keeps failing with the same 'Wrong Task ID' error mentioned by OP. I even wiped the SD Card, did clear storage from stock recovery, a couple of factory resets to no avail.
Can someone help? Is it possible that the 605.13 OTA a month or so ago didn't install properly since I had Amon Ra. In Software it shows I am at 605.13 so I doubt that. But would you suggest running the 605.13 Update.zip manually and then try to pull the OTA?

You will need to relock the bootloader then run the 605.12 RUU and let that boot up and not modify anything then you will get the 605.13 update first and then the latest after that, that is how I got the update and had no problems at all.
