First do THIS
Then install THIS and install su & superuser from the developer menu in Amon Ra.
From there you'll be rooted. Also, read the developer section, especially the stickies as there are plenty of great guides to get you going, but those two that I linked are the basics of getting it unlocked and perm rooted. From there you'll be able to flash a new ROM in recovery.
Thanks i will try as soon as I get home and let you know how it goes!

Using Amon Ra, I flashed directly from my phone. Its way easy. Just take your time and you'll get it.

If I were to root my phone, what would be the best way to accomplish the following:
1) I can still update to ICS
2) I can restore it to"unrooted" condition
3) I can use it as a wifi hot spot
I am hesitant because this phone works GREAT and I hate to screw anything up on it. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks

Easiest way , just flash amon ra recovery. Use developer menu to install su and stay stock Rom, but remove bloat if you wanted. Make a back up in amon ra prior to rooting and when ota comes flash android. Flash stock recovery in hboot and then your back to normal and can accept ota.

Very VERY difficult to brick this with only using an HTC dev unlock. Now if you were going to run the s-off exploit. More chances of bricking there but if you stay on gingerbread and don't run the ICS leak, you can always revert back to a factory state even if you don't create a backup in Amon RA.
I'll bite.
This shouldn't be in the dev section. This is for the devs to put out their work, ROMs, toolkits, MODS, etc.
This should have gone in either the general section or Q & A. Please remember this from now on.
I'll do it. Wrong thread, should be in Q&A.

1. You can actually install some of the latest ICS software now, if you wanted to. I encourage you to read through this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1425091
It will have a review of everything you need for the Rezound: ROMs, recovery, mods, etc.
If you didn't want to install a custom ROM, then you can always stay stock by just flashing an RUU of either a Gingerbread or ICS ROM.
2. To unroot, read this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1472606
3. I use the WiFi Tether application, which is included with many, if not all custom ROMs. It works really well and is free. Here is the fix needed for it before you use it:
Before Use -Start the app, Permit Root, Set Profile - Samsung Galaxy Nexus (CDMA/LTE) and Check Routing Fix
Good luck! Have fun! And welcome to the Rezound Club!

You guys make it too complicated:
Short answer:
1.) No - Not if your referring to the OTA that is coming someday.. (you would have to unroot (see #2))
1b.) Yes - if you flash a custom recovery and a custom ROM
2.) Yes - reflash Stock RUU
2b.) Provided you don't flash the "leaked" OTA that upgrades your HBoot
3.) yes
4. Read the sticky's that's why they are there
Thanks so much, guys, and I'm sorry I posted this in the wrong thread. I'll probably mess with this some more over the weekend and let you know how it goes. (For a novice like me!)

i just got my amaze yesterday, i installed the official ics OTA this morning, and now i want to root it. Does the one click root program work for the Amaze while it is on stock ics or would i have to downgrade?
I'm not sure, Look for hasoons all in one tool in the dev section. Has recoveries root and another one specifically for s off. You will find you will use his tool if you flash constantly

Hasoons tool wouldnt work for me when i updated to the WIND ICS OTA, i had to find the sudo package and install it via recovery. it did work for me in gingerbread.. just a heads up..
No one click. Read the stickies... Learn about unlocking bootloaders, 4 ext recovery, flashing superuser in recovery, and supercid. It's all rather simple. PLENTY of threads about it.

Would this be the right procedure? I was reading the wiki and want to ask..
I would do the following...
(I am rooted; BulletProof 2.5.. Android 2.3.4 - Tmobile)
1) Follow this tutorial to unroot and get back to stock:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27058110&postcount=44
2) Follow this tutorial to install ICS
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26865752&postcount=27
3) AND...Then... I will be unrooted..
How would I root again on ICS?
So is this the right procedure??
and what would I do for (#3)?

You don't necessarily need to use my OTA tutorial if you're gonna restore to complete stock GB, then you can just download the file via the software update option on your phone and let it install the update itself, the guy above answered your final question already.

, go for it then. If you're on tmobile, there's a file that can be used as a PH85IMG to update instead, that may be a bit easier if the OTA is iffy.

For rooting ICS, do I still unlock the bootloader.. the whole process?

Yes unfortunately bc don't you need a recovery like cwm or 4ext to flash super user? Anyways you should s off. Makes everything super easy.

Lol at needing my approval, about time you started being confident in what you say dude, you've messed with your own device, you should know which was better for you in your opinion, your opinion matters since you did do it and you know the benefits personally.
Ok, I can give S-OFF another try.. but last time I tried and I was in this rom: "BulletProof 2.5" , it did not work.... so from experience of you guys, what rom have people been the most sucessful getting S-OFF??

ok, ill think about the 2 options.. with S-OFF and with S-ON.
but as far as reverting to stock to then flash ICS, no instruction says I need to have my bootloader back locked... I do, right?

Relocked is the same and when attempting s-off, stock rooted rom is a better call, it saves you the hassle that custom roms may cause.
I mean the MD5 sums fail on both PHP8img w/e name... and the nand backup to restore to original ginger garbage.. so I think it's because I have to relock my bootloader by doing OEM_lock or whatever the command is.
do I have to lock bootloader to go back to stock?
and also.. do I need to flash the original kernel?
come on.. someone answer me please... I will make a REALLY good tutorial noob proof for everyone else when I finish doing this.

I was also having problems with my downloads so I downloaded thru my phone. I also found that I had better luck downloading straight from football's account on file factory. You can find his account on stock roms collection page 5 snargaflab post where it says "here"
Hope this helps, as far as locking bootloader when s on I think you do have to lock bootloader. If nobody is helping I suggest you try it out.
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using xda premium
Lock your bootloader via the fastboot oem lock command or use hasoon's tool to do it,
download this file here: http://d-h.st/3VD
Place that on your sd card and rename it PH85IMG do not place it in any folders, etc.
Reboot into hboot via the volume down/power button method, when your hboot finds the file, hit volume up to update, phone will reboot on it's own. You're on ICS.
Unlock your bootloader, install 4ext recovery via hasoon's tool and hit the Perm root ICS/GB option, follow all on screen instructions.
All done, official ICS and you're now rooted as well.
Hello,
I installed the ICS OTA on my EVO 3D, i then went to htcdev and unlocked my phone. How do i gain root access from here? All this googling is giving me a headache lol. I keep finding so many different ways but it all seems a little confusing. Am i able to install a custom recovery then flash SU without flashing another rom? if so how? or do i have to lose everything and start over again? I miss good ol' unrevoked lol.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

You can't flash a rom until you have a recovery.
if so how?

Decide which recovery you want, and flash it through bootloader.
I understand that, thank you. And im not trying to be lazy, ive gone through 10 different pages of posts so far and just about everyone of them references not flashing ICS rom. So i just wanted to make sure i wasn't ahead of myself for already having the official ICS. But i also don't want to flash any roms if i don't have to. I just want to gain root access. So thank you for the tip. I will start looking for recoveries.
hey don't feel bad, i had 1.4 s-off and went to stock so to get the bug free official ics and am extremely let down - to put it mildly.
i too am nervous over bricking all over again and i wonder if better options are out since may.
i also feel the forum is more fragmented and evo3d specific deving seems to have slowed.
i sure would welcome a clear path to best root from here and best bug free ics jb sensev4 rom
or am i dreaming

Hey man, I figured it out!
after taking the ota from sprint, I went and unlocked my phone with htcdev, then flashed twrp recovery from the official site for the recovery, the only method that worked for me was using the adb method, after that I flashed su, the newest su kept failing so I flashed the 2.3.something version then I was able to flash the new 3.x su. All is well and I know have a stock rooted Ics.

Lo.
I've found a lot of threads on this topic - the problem is they don't explain in detail (probably because everyone knows what they're doing, I'm not too into the whole custom thing).
Basically, I don't know where to start.
I'm running AOKP with the BLADE kernel, and although AOKP is lovely I encounter too many bugs. I'd like to revert to stock, but still be rooted of course.
Is there a detailed guide for this, that I've missed? I've bought my phone in Europe, so I suppose it's just the international version.
If anyone can point me in the right direction here, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Thank you.

Hi, you can either install the stock rom (ruu) or pick a rom that is based in the stock rom but without some things that makes battery life longer. i know you want to keep the root so i guess the second option would suits you best. although, i think flashing the stock rom and rooting again is kinda better, you know because of the kernel thing, well is your call mate. salute

I would recommend this. It's pretty much stock, but with optimizations and tweaks.
The RUU thing is way more difficult
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1987885
You can do a RUU and then root your phone with Hasoon's Toolkit.
For do a RUU, simpy relock your bootloader and run the "RUU.exe".
For root, follow the instructions in the toolkit thread.
Thanks and sorry for the late reply, apparently the app dpesn't notify me. What about the kernel I'm using?
And do I need to unroot my phone? I want to keep it rooted..
I like this rom but it's madly unstable unfortunately.

You can always use hasoon's tool to re-root the phone.
