I have a unlocked rezound with the leaked 4.03 ICS update installed... How do I root it?
I have tried One click Root, but it seems that was designed for Ginger bread. HELP!!!
I have been rooting and flashing on the droid x2 and a Droid charge. Rooting and updating wasnt nearly as difficult. Consider me somewhat of a noob.
Thanks in advance for all your help.

You need to install Su from recovery under the development menu.

You can always flash Scott's CleanRom. It comes already rooted.
If you unlocked and ran RUU leak, you'll need to install a custom recovery such as Amon Ra. After that boot to recovery and then go to the developer menu to install Su, which will give you root.
Search forum for the Amon Ra thread to get the 3.15 version that supports your leaked firmware. Flash it using fastboot.

In order to run the ruu, the phone needed to be locked/relocked. Make sure that after the ruu process was complete you unlocked the phone again using the htcdev.com tool or hasoons tool. Then you should be able to flash recovery and add super user with amon ra.

I currently have aria with 2.1 stock and I've rooted it using unrevoked.
phone details:
Liberty PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT 0.57.0000
radio 7.00.35.06
questions:
if I install the 2.2.2 update from HTC site, will it erase the "rooting"?
if yes, will I need to run alpharev after it for rooting?
Yes.
And yes.

thx and thx.
but it seems that the update from HTC site doesn't work on a rooted phone? maybe because of the clockworkmod recovery?

The 2.2.2 update gets rid of everything and changes the hboot. Then you need to do the alpharev thing.

It will work without any problem on a "rooted" phone. If you're having trouble, try toggling the "USB debugging" option in your ROM. If that doesn't help, try running the RUU while the phone is on the FASTBOOT screen.
using fastboot solved the problem.
I also coming to understand that using linux for any update is much more convenient.

No offense, but you haven't looked hard at all. Everything you need to know is stickied at the top of the Q&A thread. There's also a link the my sig.
OK well let me ask this then. . . What is the best way for me to do it. Is there any "oneclick"methods that would be really good for me to use?

The only method I'd ever recommend that is like a one click method is the Revolution method, but the drawback to that is undoing the S-Off is harder than the old jcase method. I can't recommend any "one click" based of the jcase method because there's too many floating around out there and unless you know the exploits being used, they're unreliable. The Revolution method is the current preferred method, and can be undone. It's preferred because it wipes not data and all you need to do after using it is to flash SuperUser and a recovery of your choice. I believe those can be found in the wiki unrEVOked maintains, as well as other places.
With the revolution method is it easy to boot in recovery and flash different roms or do you have to go through the whole rooting method everything? Thanks for your help by the way.

It's just as easy as anything else once you have clockworkmod flashed. Replacing the ROM doesn't remove S-Off or erase your recovery. I also like to point out that Revolution doesn't really root a device, it merely turns S-off so that you can root and flash a custom recovery. But once S-Off is done, the rest is as easy as flashing a couple files. Once you're to that point, you can wipe and flash ROMs all day. If you need some help or a walk through on some of this, PM me.
Just rooted my Thunderbolt after the Gingerbread update using Revolution method. Happy to say I am rooted with S-off. Have the latest recovery downloaded with my current Rom backed up. Next move is to download a custom Rom. I waited for this update for what reason I don't know to root my Thunderbolt.
What Rom to choose? There are so many. This is the fun part.

So for those of us that still have S-ON but have the ICS leak installed and managed to get root again, are we still able to flash ROMS without having S-Off? I currently have CWM touch 5.8.0.9.
If we can only flash if we have S- off , is it still possible to achieve this after installing the ics leak ?
Thanks in advance.

I have read in the thread posted by Football another user that went to the ICS leak was able to attain s-off the same as anyone that was still on GB.
Is it possible to flash a custom recovery with the locked bootloader? I'm used to HTC and am not to familiar with Motorola's Android

I have already successfully rooted, and attempted to flash CWM recovery from Rom Manager, but I am unable to get to recovery. I tried to unlock the bootloader with RDS Lite flashing derpunlock from the puddin forum, not the 2.3.5, but it failed

Need to use the boot strap recovery, MOTODX_Bootstrap_Signed.apk. Its based off Clockwork. Make sure you only try to flash locked roms though. If you try and flash anything not supported your more than likely going to be on my boat... Softbricked. I was a flashaholic with my Evo, now im a bricked bum looking for light...
Look in Lokifish Mars Sticky on all thing Mopho. It has links to everything you will need in it.
No you cannot flash a custom recovery on a locked bootloader.

I'm in the same boat. I just got a used Photon and it already had the 2.3.5 (45.4.13 254_13) ROM on it. I got it rooted successfully at least, but get the error when trying to install the DERPUNLOCK.SFB file.
Any solutions out there yet? Can the unit be SBF-ed back to 198_7 and then the bootloader unlocked?
(I'm sorry if this is a redundant question, but I haven't found a clear answer and have searched the forums extensively!)
THANKS!

Your only real option is mof2.3.5 unless you want to run a rom that is not supported anymore ie imperium, rocko, skinny. Mofs rom is damn good though. Give it a shot and see what you think.
If your on 2.3.4 go with mofo2.3.5ish if your on 2.3.5, don't flash any roms locked or unlocked. Just be happy your phone works!
The reason being is because will the roms are based on 2.3.4 and since 2.3.5 locked bootloader, anything 2.3.4 based will cause you to soft brick, with no sprint sbf to fall back on. Peetr and mo are actively working on a working sbf for those who are on USC electrify sbf.

Signed boot.img with its modules is needed to install after each locked rom.
Don't want to sound like a n00b, but where would those be in the ROM threads? I'm so used to HTC's phones, so going to this Photon makes me feel like I'm starting from scratch...

Actually nowhere yet. You need to wait.
Ohh okay. I'll just sit back and wait for the devs. Really wish I hadn't traded my Evo LTE for this Photon....

Install AmonRa recovery.
Install su from developer section on amonra
Flash SuperUser zip package from their site.
Buy a cookie, but don't eat it. Just watch it... Closely

Go to dwv thread, find sticky roll up thread. Unlock bootloader, root, flash recovery, flash Rom of choice then profit.
This does require knowledge of ADB. S-off is highly recommended.

Flash Amon Ra and then either flash a superSU.zip (check my ICS help thread for a lot of the links) or flash Amon Ra then a custom rom of your choice (recommended)
