Root? - HTC Rezound

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

Help with uninstalling cwm recovery?

So after I unlocked my bootloader I flashed Amon ra. Then decided I wanted to use cwm recovery, so I flashed cwm.
Now, a month later I have decided to want to go back to Amon ra, but when ever I try to install Amon ra, the hboot checks sd card then parses PH98IMG.zip (Amon ra), then goes back to the hboot home screen. If I choose to go to recovery, I get sent to cwm recovery.
How can I revert back to Amon ra? Is there a way to install cwm? Or is there a way to completely wipe the whole phone including the recovery?

All you should have to do is flash the amon ra img in fastboot ...I haven't used it as a zip before .. i have always extracted the .img and flashed it through fastboot . In fastboot.. put the extracted .img in same folder as fast boot or if you have a path for abd you don't need to do that. Then just use the command
Fastboot flash recovery "name of recovery image".img need phone in hboot of course.

Please help. Ran ota with custom recovery.

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

It will boot and everything runs fine, I just can't get into custom recovery or install custom recovery. And my apps that need superuser permissions won't be allowed even though I still have superuser installed on the phone.

Can't re-root after RUU

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

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.

Reboot into Amon Ra recovery go to the developer menu and install su super user.
Sent From My Optimized Blasting 4GLTE ReZound
tried that
thanks for the prompt reply, I've tried that. I bought the superuser elite before i installed the rom, and I also ran the superuser patch fixer. It does not seem to match up. I fixed the permissions in recovery.
Superuser cannot update, it states that I am not rooted. Once the database is contacted it states there is a permissons error
Is there a way to switch from ra to clockwork?

If you want change to clockwork recovery go to the clockwork mod website Download from the image from there and flash in fastboot.

Was this issue ever resolved, because I am going through the same thing...Unlocked, rooted, Amon-Ra recovery. And have installed su through recovery, and have uninstalled su, reinstalled it, uninstalled tb and reinstalled, and done the same with bb.
Terminal emulator gives me $ at prompt instead of #...what gives?
tmettler5 are you looking to check your phone if it is rooted?
Someone link OP a SU.zip, I had to do that as Amon RA's root didn't stick for me.
Once I flashed the superuser zip, never had an issue again.

TRY THIS
1)Make sure that htc sync is disabled and try this
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?ky4ckwpdqzyw3x1 and put your unlock code.bin file in the tools folder.
Now follow the intructions when you run the program.
2)Install amon ra http://www.mediafire.com/?l9dgzvvsdku7g3c by downloading file and click save as to your android folder on the C drive that you used to unlock the bootloader. Next rename the file recovery. Next go to the HBOOT menu and fastboot usb open cmd and type commands push enter after every command.
cd..
cd..
cd android
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
NOTE THE RECOVERY BOOT USED IS AMON RA 3.14
3) reboot and very important to make a back up.
I think I got everything hope this helps.

On an assumption; If you are running the stock kernel. It is secured, meaning won't allow su in terminal. Either flash the stock unsecured kernel or try a custom rom.
@OP
Is this still a problem for you?
I am using the stock kernel that came with the leaked RUU. I am trying to install su using amon-ra 3.15. If I am reading correctly, if I install a custom rom, that should fix it, right?

Should. Alternatively you could invoke "adb shell" then an "su" command from a PC, if you have ADB setup properly.

[Q] Rooted, but can't install clockwork recovery

After reading the comments from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1614304, I decide to root my phone today.
I followed the tutorial on HTC dev to unlock hboot1.2, then downloaded HTC supertool v3, did prep and root, and it appeared the rooting was successful. I installed [Root Checker](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joeykrim.rootcheck&hl=en) and it confirms that my phone is rooted. Then I went ahead installing ROMManager, from it, installed Clockwork Recovery, granted superuser permission, put CM7.1 ROM on the sdcard, reboot into recovery, met red triangle with exclamation mark, held power+vol_up, get the system recovery <3e> menu, tried to apply sdcard:update.zip (which is the recovery image for Clockwork recovery), but it complained "failed to verify whole-file signature"...
Have been stuck for a few hours, after much googling and retrying, not much luck...I wonder if the phone is rooted after all? Someone here suggested HTC supertool (which I used) but I didn't see Legend being one of the supported models. Also, all the rooting tools download links I found aren't valid any more.
Help is much appreciated.
EDIT: I think the rooting is successful. I installed a few root only apps from the Play store and they all worked.
Hi,
I faced the same sort of problem when I rooted and wanted to install CWM. My solution was to manually flash the recovery img file using adb. I'm on my phone now so its hard for me to get the link but if you search for the HTC Legend Cyanogenmod Wiki page there are instructions on how to do this
Sent from my Legend using XDA
If you've used htcdev to unlock you CANNOT use update zip, to go into clockworkmod recovery, You have to use the s-off method. This has been covered many times now esspecialy in the hboot 1.02 thread.
Just as a point of note, you can't flash recovery from the clockwork mod app, you have to do it manually via s-off method.

just put cwm recovery img in the same andriod folder that u use to unlock bootloader via fastboot and use fastboot to push recovery img and after that use cwm to install superuser zip from sd card, install titatium backup, it will say u are not rooted don't worry press 'problem' i TB and it will install busybox for u . that's it .Now u are rooted with cwm u can flash anything u want. Hope this hekps.
here's the link/instruction for the clockworkmod image to flash - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1290841
as it was already said, use the s-off method

No, actually you don't just push recovery.img file you have to fastboot flash recovery recovery.img too other wise you can't boot into custom recovery.
please check the official clockword mod recovery thread for the compleat, correct method and command line string.

So I used fastboot to push cwm recovery and everything worked. I had the impression that i need s-off before doing that but it was fine with s-on. I flashed cm7.1 and now i'm typing this reply on my "brand new" legend. It gave the old phone so much life!
Thanks everyone for helping

What it sounds like you are doing is pushing the update.zip to the SD card, this ONLY works with locked s-on bootloader what the op is talking about is hboot 1.02 s-on with unlocked bootloader, this is basically s-off function, bootloader will not load the update.zip file.

I have read all the instructions... Got root access also, installed clockworkMod recovery via the manual installation (s-off) method.. It is installed i can navigate through the clockworkMod recovery menu. However, pressing the power button to select a option brings me to a next page... No options, first i thought it was doing its job (wipe cach) however after a few moments i pushed the power button and i was in the main menu again. Also the reboot option or power off option it brings me to a triangle with mark and nothing...
Can anyone help me with this one?
