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 I rooted my TB using super one click root. I restarted my phone and saw the superuser app in my drawer so to make sure I was rooted I downloaded titanium back and see if it gave me root access and I was able to gain root access to the app. So my next thing was to get Rom manager I downloaded that it asked for my root access I press allowed and I was able to use the app, I click flash clockword recovery and it successfully installed, so now I was going to download a Rom to my phone well i had a rom already. On my SD card so from Rom manager it says install Rom from SD card I click that found the Rom on my SD card checked off the wipe and back up and ok. Phone turns off and boot up on hboot on bootloader, so it didn't work I tried to go back in Rom manager click reboot in recovery and the phone shuts off and boot back into hboot bootloader. Now keep in mind I am rooted but I can't access the recovery I keep getting sent to hboot,
Can you get to CWR manually from the hboot menu? If not (and you have the latest RomManager and recovery), your recovery didn't flash. Erase and reflash it.
I was not aware that super one click worked on the tbolt. and even if it did you cant flash a custom rom with s-on. If i were you i would download root checker from the market , it will tell you if you are rooted correctly which i dought you are....
I don't think super1click does work on the tbolt. I just assumed he meant one of the other one-clicks like Easyroot or something. I didn't pay much attention to it because he claims he has SU and TiBu works.
Should be one of these:
RomManager needs updating.
Recovery needs reflashing/updating.
Hey guys thx for the replies well your right in the bootloaded or Hboot mode it does say S-on, and for some reason Super one Click work, cuz i tried to use the TB auto root click but it went half through the process as it was pushing the files, and it got stuck for like 20 mins didnt do anything, so i unhooked it and closed eveyrthing out and then tried the super one click and it did its process and a window pop up saying device rooted. so i restarted the phone and saw the superuser and to make sure i was rooted, i tried the Titanium back up, and was able to back up my apps, and then i got the wireless tether app and tried to used that and that work showing i had superuser permission. but the rom manager isnt working im able to open the app look at the rom it has on rom manager but when i go to flash rom from sd card it reboots in Hboot, with the S-on. i tried to go to recovery i press recovery and it boot back up in Hboot, so is there any suggestion should i unroot and use another method to root so that i can be able to get into clockword recovery.
You can't flash clockwork recovery with s-on.

So is it ok to do that revolutionary process with my TB in the condition its in (Root with S-on) or should i flash the MR2 file to restore it back to it factory state and then do the revolutionary process
I would say you are good to go ahead. Just jump right in. You are basically stock except that you can use root access apps.

Once you get S-Off, the whole point of rooting opens up to you. Great ROMs and no carrier bloat.
I unlocked my LTE using the HTC Developers method. All went smooth and my phone says it's unlocked - but I can't do a thing now that I couldn't before.
BusyBox won't install. FAIL
SuperUser won't install and update - ERROR / FAIL
Tried flashing TeamWin Recovery and while it never gives any error and it seems to do everything it should - I can't get into Recovery. I just get the HTC screen followed by a RED triangle or a reboot. Did this through Goo as well as with Fastboot and never any errors but while Recovery is an option in my Hboot - it jut leads to a red triangle or a reboot.
I tried re-locking and unlocking which again went without a hitch - but still no luck with superuser, busybox, teamwin recovery, Titanium Backup.
Any HELP would be sooooo appreciated.
Thanks,
Jack
if you just did the dev unlock, I think you just unlocked your bootloader. You still to root to install SU and actually do anything.
Sounds like you didn't root.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671577
Root, unlock bootloader and S-OFF seem to have separate procedures.
On the twrp thread it says nothing about needing to root it just says to htc unlock and install via goomanager.
How did you get activation email from Htcdev? I've tried 5 different emails and usernames. Still nothing.

it assumes that one would know that one has to have root in order to flash a custom recovery and install superuser.
*Edit: I was mistaken. It would seem that you don't need root to flash recovery, at least on the One X (which is similar). So, I'm not sure what the problem is.
Do you need to unlock the bootloader first, or root first? Or does the order not matter?

right, but you need root in order to USE goomanager. The way to install a custom recovery without root is to unlock bootloader and flash recovery thru fastboot (and THEN use recovery to flash SU). That is the more common/conventional (i.e. oldschool) method.

I just went through the procedure to root my HTC Rezound using the instructions from The Unlocker. After I completed the procedure my phone rebooted and Superuser app was installed on my phone and I am still getting the message that my phone is not rooted. I am currently running ICS and don't know if that is the problem. I've seen other forums where they talk about "S" being on or off. I really don't know what that means. I reveiwed the procedure again and did not see that step. This is my first time rooting any phone. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

After you unlock your phone. You need to isntall a custom recovery. There are 3 in ths forum. TWRP. CWM. and AmonRA. Find the one you like the most. Just ask if you don't know how to install it. Each thread should have instructions. After flashing the recovery, install the zip in the post above through the custom recovery that you floshed and you will have root inside of your ROM.
The S-on you can say is security-on. It blocks you from messing with certain partitions on the phone you could say. If you want to flash a new rom. You will have to flash the boot.img in HBOOT or fastboot via a computer.
Don't be afraid to ask anything. Just make sure you search first.

Mind if I ask why are you trying to unlocked you bootloader and soff or your already soff?
Ok, I'll try to help best I can. Hopefully one of the more experienced folks can chime in too as they'll probably be way more helpful. I've got a couple guesses, but need to know a bit more. Please know that I'm only providing my best guesses as I haven't run into this problem.
What firmware version were you on when you tried rumrunner? It sounds like you already had an unlocked bootloader and s-off... through moonshine. Did you end up with a locked bootloader? If so, how? You mentioned that you went back to sense 5. What method? Did you ruu back to a stock rom or just flash one of the Custom/stock ROMs.
Here is one possible option. I would suggest reading through the thread thoroughly before diving in...
- Go back to 100% stock with locked bootloader and s-on: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2293919
Then make sure you've taken any OTA updated to get to 3.06.605.4 and you should be able to use rumrunner.

The reason the thing is failing is because he already has a unlocked bootloader with soff. I don't know why he is trying to unlock something that is already unlocked. All he needs to do is download something like superuser or flash a custom rom with root built into it.

10-4. That's kinda what I thought too, but figured I'd try to confirm by asking a few questions. I have seen a few people get stuck with s-off but a locked bootloader if they goof up the process trying to go back to 100% stock. Thought I'd ask the questions just in case this is what he did.
Ok, I would like to keep the Stock Android, but would like to have root access.
I an unsure how to gain root access with out turning S-ON.
I could follow that and turn S-ON again,
But if you have another method of gaining ROOT with out flashing a custom ROM,
I would be grateful for your assistance.
Sorry for any confusion on that,
I spent 10hrs trying to figure this out yesterday,
it was necessary to put down and look at another day.
I have tried downloading superuser and supersu from the play store, neither give me access to root

You must already have a superuser app to install one from the play store. Flash a superuser zip from recovery. That will put both the app and the required binaries in place.

From what I have learned so far, running rumrunner when you are already S-OFF will net you a FAILED message. if your DNA is already S-OFF then feel free to flash whatever ROM you want.. well sorta, make sure it's for the DNA, and flash at your own risk.
I took the OTA after achieving S-OFF with moonshine and it removed my root access... now I am in this boat where I want to regain root.
I have finally finished downloading the zip from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2560010

I found some Instructions that tell you to boot into recovery, but when I try to boot into recovery all I get is a RED ! and Triangle above a screen. like something went wrong :/
Start by downloading ROM and the patch and copy the file to the SD card’s root in your device.
Reboot your phone into recovery mode. For this, power off your device and restart it keeping the volume down key pressed. Your phone will be booted into bootloader fastboot mode.
In the Recovery mode, use the ‘Power ’key to select and to navigate use the ‘Volume’ keys.
Use ‘backup and restore’ option to create a backup.
Now perform three steps in a row: first wipe data//factory reset, then wipe cache and lastly wipe dalvik cache accessing the advanced menu.
Now install zip from your sdcard, then select ROMs zip file you copied to your phone and choose zip.
Redo it for Patch file once you are done with ROM installation.
At the end, reboot your phone.

easiest method especially if you s-on is fastboot flash amon ra and go to advanced options or developer options in it and flash its su and superuser and binaries thats built into the recovery...if you plan on staying on ics or lower roms amon ra and s-on is good for you...if you flash any rom higher i highly HIGHLY suggest gaining s-off and using a recovery like twrp or cwm as they have been updated here in the threads specifically for jellybean and kitkat where as amon ra hasnt....also updating to most recent stuff like radios and hboot and kitkat roms while s-on puts you in a much higher risk of a brick as you will not be able to downgrade to fix a soft brick just in case things get messed up on your end...its only possible to fix a soft brick while s-off
thanks for the answer

You appear to be running ICS firmware, did you read the notes and information on TheDr1ver.com about this method of rooting? I am assuming not, as this is for Gingerbread only, it will not work on ICS.
Proper rooting of the Rezound is actually VERY simple, no tool or all in one is needed, just proper drivers, adb, and an unlocked bootloader.
1. Install adb and fastboot (usually the ADB SDK from Google appropriate for your machine)
2. Install drivers (if not already installed, use HTC Sync, install then remove the application)
3. Go to HTCDev.com and follow through the unlock process
4. Boot and/or flash a recovery like Amon Ra/TWRP/CWM
5. Flash SuperSUxxx.zip in recovery
6. Reboot and go to the SuperSU app and update binaries if necessary
Done, permanent root. With ICS there is no real "one click" method of rooting, GB had some exploits that some scripts could temp root, then permanent root, but they don't work in ICS or are no longer supported.
Sorry, but you really should just to do it the manual way, there are tons of step-by-step tutorials on the various forums.

tab I installed su. So since I'm apparently part rooted because I can flash into amon ra but there is a problem when attempting to install su from Amon Ra so I'll read some more because I don't want to brick my phone.

OK, then do it manually...
1) Download UPDATE-SuperSU-vx.xx.zip from http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu, where x.xx is the current version (1.94 at the time of this posting) and place it in the root of your external storage (SD Card)
2) Reboot and start Amon Ra
3) Install/Flash UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.94.zip
4) Wipe cache and dalvik (do not wipe/format anything else)
5) Reboot (will take longer than normal, be patient)
6) Open SuperSU and update the binary (it will prompt you if it needs to)
7) Go to Settings tab and scroll down to SYSTEM section, and select "Install SuperSU into /system", if it is grayed out and you can't select it, then it is already there. Reboot immediately if prompted.
8) Open the Play Store and install BusyBox and Root Checker
9) Open BusyBox and grant it root permissions, after it goes through it's checks it should say something about "BusyBox xxxxx is installed. Busy Box is installed to /system/xbin", Select Busybox 1.22.1 will be installed to /system/xbin and click INSTALL at the bottom and allow it to finish, then close Busybox
10) Reboot
11) Open Root Checker and tab Verify Root, you should be good to go.
If this doesn't work, I would replace Amon Ra with TWRP or CWM and do it again.
I would really suggest twrp... ....when I first rooted and installed twrp the first thing it asked me when on stock before I rebooted was right before I rebooted, would you like to install su? I swiped to flash rebooted checked and su was working perfectly.... I would suggest that..... Okay I know I'm probably not the right person to do this, but I'm thinking about making a root guide for the Rezound..... Taking everything that could go wrong and also putting that in there with a answer on what to do.....

I think that would be useful. I'm looking into finally rooting my current rezound and there's just so much info out there my brain can't process anymore. I used to know exactly how to do it but my brain has totally regressed and there are to many term/acronyms to hold onto in my brain. Also trying to figure out all of it will work on my mac booted into windows.
