Since theirs no OTA, I relocked and installed the latest ICS leak
then used the htc all in one kit, unlocked the bootloader, installed Amon-Ra 3.15
and tried the perm root option (which for some reason didn't work last time either)
so I booted into Amon-Ra and installed SU which said it worked.
I still can't get root on ICS, I'd just install a rooted rom, but I'm trying to get S-OFF
I did not that it said tampered above unlocked in the bootloader.
Did I miss something?

Tampered is a result of installing a custom recovery, has nothing to do with installing a rooted rom.

Ok, I was pretty sure tampered was ok, just trying to include all of the details I have., what am I missing in rooting ICS?, su is installed but it says permissions denied when I run it via terminal emulator?
I tried fixed permissions and that didn't work either.
Nevermind,
I just flashed the stock rooted rom and I'm all good and have achieved S-OFF, Yeah

ok yeah, the problem i found with that rooting method is it puts the su bin in /xbin/ instead of /bin.
i could talk you through how to use the adb shell to put the su binary in /bin/ and ln-s it to /xbin.

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.

Which one click did you use?
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

does this one-click work if you are unrooted/locked on 2.01.XX firmware?

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 rooted my original Incredible and a Nook before with no problems. I didn't anticipate any problems here. From stock, I successfully flashed the latest ICS RUU (3.14) and unlocked the phone via Hasoon2000's kit. I confirmed in HBOOT that I was unlocked. When I tried to run the "Perm Root (GB/ICS)" command, it didn't work. There were a lot of "Device not found" errors in the terminal (yes, USB debugging was enabled at all times). My phone would try to reboot but then get stuck on the triangle/exclamation point screen.
After a few tries, I decided to manually root the phone. I rebooted normally (after taking the battery on and off) and used Hasoon2000's kit to install AmonRa. I then booted into recovery. I wiped cache and Dalvik cache and went into Developer Menu. I then chose "Install superuser and su." It seemed to do it correctly. I rebooted and made sure Superuser was installed and updated. At this point, I thought I had root access.
I installed Titanium Backup but it gave me an error that it couldn't acquire root privileges. I installed the Root Checker app and it also said I wasn't rooted properly. I don't know what I did wrong. Please help.

Yes, you need to be rooted to get S-off, so installing any of the roms will do.
S-OFF is a whole another process, you definitely need to be rooted first though.

I also got errors when tring to do the one-click root method. So try flashing the Amon-Ra recovery after you unlocked the bootloader. Reboot into recovery and then go to develpoer's menu and select root and something else in that menu. From there you are rooted. After that, follow this website to get S-OFF. I did mine last night and it went smooth. It took me a few times to do the wire trick, but I finally got it.

So after finding out about the OTA update to 4.0, I decided to get rid of my custom rom, de root, and try it out. Seems good so far, but I haven't seen any info on rooting this yet. Anyone know if there is a way to do this yet? Or even a crazy guess as to when this will happen?

why on earth would you "deroot" just wait 24 hours to flash the rooted version then you wouldn't have to worry about that. the bootloaded has changed... unlikely anyone will be able to root. unless the CD works on 4.0

Bummer. I de rooted because in order to run an ics Rom I needed a custom kernel, and either the kernel or the Rom made the phone freeze up one in ten times I turned off the screen. Wasn't worth it to me.
To root the ota all you have to do is apply a custom recovery .IMG file via fastboot or a pg86img.zip file in bootloader. Then install via the new recovery Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip (google it, easy to find). Boot into the system and download busybox via the playstore and then install busybox via the app. That's it. You will have full root with busybox.

Already ppl asking for root on the new update smh it might take a long time just like s-off for 1.5 or no time at all but I would just wate for a stock rooted Rom of the ota update
Phone:HTC Evo 3D CMDA
HTC Sense:3.6
Software number:MeanROM ICS v2.0
Kernel version:?????
Baseband version:1.06.00.1216
Build number:1.13.662.2_RC
HBOOT:1.50 S-off (juopunutbear)
Recovery:4EXT Recovery Touch v1.0.0.5 RC 5
Cant get root access.
So while browsing yesterday I came across the news that ICS ota update for Sprint EVO 3D has started rolling out.
I was on Mean ROM ICS 2.4.
I immediately went into recovery did a superwipe , relocked the bootloader using fastboot and started installing 2.17 ruu so as to get ICS update OTA.
I was successful in doing on what I had planned to . Booted up into system got OTA update and upgraded to ICS.
Played around with it for some time before I got bored and decided I need to root it.
So I then went into fastboot...... Unlocked the bootloader again ... flashed cwm touch recovery and installed SU 3.0.** .zip hoping that I would be able to install busybox and get root access.
Tadaaaa surprise surprise !!!!!!!
Latest superuser version installed there but it was not helping at all.
Downloaded busybox but it wont install and no matter what I tried I didnt get root access.
Above that my phone has gotten slow now and I no more get smooth transitions across while scrolling .
I find myself in trouble now.
Could any one suggest how I could get root or perform and fresh install again.
Also I was unlocked hboot 1.5 s-on which got updated to hboot 1.58 I guess.
So now its unlocked hboot 1.58 S-ON
I am not habitual to the spiking during transitions and it for some reason annoys me. I could really use some help here.
Rooting 101- never, ever, ever, ever, ever take any OTA. Simple. As others have said recently and since rooting android started, wait a day for the awesome devs to post the rooted rom.

Well I must have gotten lucky. I decided i'd rather run stock without any root instead of having to deal with pulling my battery 20 times a day. Tried several roms, custom kernels made it faster, but weren't very stable. Now on stock ics rooted, don't see the big deal. It was easy to root again, and everything I was doing before works just the same. The only problem I'm having is getting dsp manager to work, but it didn't work on my custom rom either.
Perfectly satisfied with the ota.

Just sharing my upgrade/root experience - was running ICS Cool Sense v7, S-OFF, HBOOT 1.04 ENG. Downloaded 2.17 PG86IMG from goo-inside.me site. Flashed that and it automatically re-locked my phone but kept S-OFF. Booted up with HBOOT 1.5, downloaded OTA and installed it. Now on HBOOT 1.58, unlocked phone again with HTCDEV. Flashed CWM Touch Recovery via Fastboot then Superuser 3.1.3 in Recovery. Full root - no issues.

Same here. Had all kinds of issues and tried 3.1.3 from Recovery about 30 minutes ago. Worked like a charm - full root.
P.S. I have always been stock with S-On so it works either way.
I did this with 1.5 hboot s off. Just unrooted and locked bootloader loaded up the 2.17 pg86img.zip and took the ota. Relocked bootloader and flashed cwm recovery and Su 2.3.6 (I think...) And I'm back in business with full root. works like a charm and very easy. Even for me and I'm a total noob. now I just gotta figure out how to add tweaks and remove bloatware.

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.

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:
