Hey everybody, so I installed Amon Ra 3.15 on my Rezound running ICS 4.0.3 and I'm having issues with superuser. Whenever I restart my phone, superuser gets deleted. I guess a bigger problem is that when superuser was installed and I tried to use WiFi tether, it never worked. I installed su and superuser through Amon Ra, but I guess it didn't take. So now I have no superuser app on my phone and I'm not even sure if I'm rooted. I'm running just stock ICS 4.0.3 with Amon Ra 3.15. Can anybody tell me how to fix this issue or get "real" root access so I can run a tethering app please? Thank you!

I would say flash a stock rooted ROM, Thats what I have going right now while I test out other ROMS (and ROM Manager which is pretty neat.)

That was the very first thing I did when I installed Amon Ra and it's never worked properly. Superuser app would delete itself after every restart and apps like WiFi tether never worked even when superuser was installed. In WiFi tether the settings were: Galaxy Nexus LTE, Netd, and enable route fixing.
Should I just try reinstalling Amon Ra? Will that even work?

I had similar issues when I updated to ICS firmware.....not sure why. So I used Hasoon's All in One Tool Kit to install it. Worked! I later figured out that flashing the zip file wasn't working for me and that instead I should have updated using the PH98IMG file of amon ra......not sure if you tried them.

What is the PH98IMG file way? Is that where I have to put the .zip file onto the root of my SD card? Do I have to rename the Amon Ra recovery zip file to PH98IMG.zip and just go into HBOOT?

So how I installed AmonRa was through Terminal on my Mac. I ran "./fastboot flash recovery recovery-ra-vigor-3.15-gnm.img" from the computer. I didn't drop any files onto the root of the SD card. Is this not the proper way to install the AmonRa?
The "recovery-ra-vigor-3.15-gnm.img" file is the only file I have related to AmonRa.
The All-In-One toolkit doesn't work for me b/c I use a Mac.
Can somebody please give me proper instructions on how to install AmonRa is the way I did it was incorrect? I'm brand new to Android, but I managed to get ICS on my Rezound and what I thought was the proper way to install AmonRa. ICS 4.0.3 is working fine, but I just want to get root access to use WiFi tether. That's the only thing I want to do. Any help would be so greatly appreciated. Step-by-step directions would be SO helpful. THANKS!!!!
Wait I'm realizing your problem is not amon RA but SU. Are you s on or s off? Did you just upgrade firmware? Because that would make a difference in your root permanently sticking.
Edit: You might be losing root....as I'm not sure exactly what the makeup of your phone is. Try the tool kit and install amon ra and flash su in recovery.
Unfortunately if your recovery is not permanent you have to this again after updating rom, ruu, etc. Someone correct me if I'm wrong ..I've been s off since we got it so I might be off a bit. Again s off and s on makes a difference. Nor sure what you have.
Edit to he edit: I see you are using a Mac.....again are you s off or a s on? That amon ra file is not going to work for you.
Try the ph98img file here..

That should have worked. You can always flash the new file in the earlier post. After, do like you did with SU...then flash this file here (in recovery):
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B28uLCcMCyfRazVzMDRmWUxQcVU
Ctrl-S to download the thing as a zip file.
I believe it updates the binaries. It worked for me several times. You can download Su from the market, too.

Yeah sounds like you lost root.....since your s-on and you ruu, you have to regain root again. Have you tried flashing in recovery the file from Topgun's above link and post?
You just might have to just redo the root instructions (installing SU), NOT bootloader, through your MAC.....assuming that's how you initially unlocked and rooted. Again I had similar issues so I used the All in one tool kit, which you can't use on a MAC.
Sorry if I can't be of any other help.....but try using the MAC, if you haven't done so already. And then S-Off!

How do I flash in recovery? I know that sounds stupid but I'm still confused about terminology. Does flashing in recovery mean dropping the file on the root of the card and then going into hboot? OR is it putting the phone into hboot and then flashing the file from Terminal? If I do it through terminal what is the coding language? "Fastboot flash recovery"? I'm so confused. Thanks for all the help thus far. I think just a little more help and I can get it. Thanks for being patient everybody.

I would just flash a custom rom like conrom v6. It will fix your super user issues. Flash in recovery means you boot into your recovery(amon ra) and flash the zip(it can be on external or phone)

Flashing in recovery....your file is on the SD Card...not a ph98img.zip file...you flash roms in recovery, for example. But how? Get into recovery (amon ra) select navigate through the flash zip options..(can't remember exact verbiage) select file and you're on!
Flashing in hboot/bootloader...your file is on the SD Card and is name ph98img.zip. The bootloader scans for any files named, thus, and if so, asks if you want to run it or boot (that's why you delete or rename ph98img files when done with them).
Using Fastboot...boot into the bootloader and select fastboot..then you can enter commands from your computer. Fastboot flash [partition] [filename] . A quick google search turns up the commands you might need. At least, that what I do. Hopefully this helps some!
Did you ever flash that file I mentioned up above...flash 'in recovery'

Last question, but do I have to flash this zip every time I restart my phone? I'm trying to figure out why the root didn't stick in the first place and what I need to do to prevent losing root. I don't use any custom ROM's, just use the stock ICS that was in 3.14.605.11. Not upgrading to .12 until I know it can be rooted.
Also, I am trying to find a ROM that gets rid of the VZW bloatware, but leaves as much stock ICS as possible. Looking through the Developer section at the list of ROM's there, they don't have many pictures of what the ROM looks like on the phone. So I'm hesitant to go through them all to see which is closest to stock ICS. If you guys know of any I'd appreciate those recommendations also. Sorry for being such a noob about all this stuff, but a man has to start somewhere.

I now have clockwordmod installed and for the first time when i boot into recovery not matter what selection I try it when you hit power to select it just shows the clockworkmod logo. it doesnt go anyway. so i can't wipe data and i can't install from zip.
I tried to uninstall app and went into sdcard and removed the clockwordmod folder so i could just use the rezound's original recovery but still only the clockworkmod recovery shows up and the same issue remains.
so now im stuck not being able to change roms.
Every developer in the Rezound forums says to use Amon Ra and stay away from clockworkmod. You will not be lost using it. Look for it in a sticky in development section. Next time do your homework first.

It should overwrite clockwork. You are unlocked right? Try the cleanflash tool from scrosler. Has worked for me everytime. Make sure you do not have any ph.img on you external sd then boot to hboot and use the tool. The Amon Ra link is in the second post. Directions are simple, and make sure the recovery .img is in the same folder as the tool. At least you posted in the right section.

Amon ra All the way!!
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

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.

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 just updated to ICS via OTA, unlocked, flashed amonra, installed su from amonra (rooted).
Titanium Backup cannot get root rights.
Superuser (3.1.3) shows outdated binary (3.0.3). When I click "check for updates" and then Update, it downloads new binary, but then says "Gaining root access... fail!"
What's wrong? Am I really rooted?

Download this one. Check here for others. The efghi in the zips file name stands for eclair, froyo, gingerbread, honeycomb and ice cream sandwich. So if you are running one of those you are good to flash it.

im running AmonRa v3.15 ...when i booted up after OTA Flash (i had no root or AmonRa recovery), i downloaded an Explorer app so i could remove the PH98IMG.zip. then i proceeded to unlock the bootloader via HTCDev, flash AmonRa via CMD, then i tried flashing SU via developer menu but no go, so then i flashed the SU that i had on my SDcard (Posted in previous comment) and WALAAA i had root. then i proceeded to Update SU via its app.. no problems so far.

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:
Hey all, just received a replacement rezound under warranty due to the charge port being all muffed up, and of coarse the first thing was unlock via htcdev which worked fine.
Here is the issue.. when trying to flash amonra via fastboot or PH98IMG.zip in bootloader it won't flash. For fastboot it says "unknown error" and as a PH file in bootloader it says "parsing..." for a few seconds then disappears without flashing anything. I've re-downloaded and checked md5's and still get the same errors.
My last rezound was s-off and that whole process was quick and painless and I don't understand why the same procedure I used on my last rezound isn't working now.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hey all, just received a replacement rezound under warranty due to the charge port being all muffed up, and of coarse the first thing was unlock via htcdev which worked fine.
Here is the issue.. when trying to flash amonra via fastboot or PH98IMG.zip in bootloader it won't flash. For fastboot it says "unknown error" and as a PH file in bootloader it says "parsing..." for a few seconds then disappears without flashing anything. I've re-downloaded and checked md5's and still get the same errors.

ota 3.14.605.12 710rd.
Can you flash in fastboot usb? (And, to be perfectly clear to avoid a dumb question, does hboot reflect that you are unlocked?)

indeed *** unlocked *** is displayed at the top on hboot. and ive tried "fastboot flash recovery (nameofrecovery.img) with nameofrecovery changed to what i have it saved as and no luck. even tried relocking and ruuing too just to make sure it wasnt the software messing everything up.
Can't remember but can you try to S-OFF first? (It's been so long, but I can't remember whether you have a custom recovery already on).
Ah, one other stupid thing.... have you tried a different sdcard?

I was thinking about the sd card being the issue but it installed an ruu via ph98img.zip perfectly fine bit its worth a shot. And on unlimited.io's site they say you need to be completely stock with root and as far as I know amonra is the only way to root on a stock ruu. I managed to s-off tho after using hasoon's tool to flash amonra. I'm now completely stock again after ruuing back to gb then accepting ota
so I'll try flashing amonra again and report back. Thank you for your help!

You can install any custom recovery and use it to flash SuperUser. The root option in Amon Ra doesn't usually work by itself anyway.

Oh ok thats good to know actually. just cant seem to install any custom recoveries lol. i chose to install amon ra 3.15 with hasoons tool and for some reason i have 3.06 installed.. dont know how or why but i do. tried to install 3.15 with his toolkit again and got the stupid error again. i dont know what to do at this point lol. never had this problem with the last rezound. i am s-off now but do not have the recovery i want installed.
should i try ruu'ing again and start fresh?
and for what its worth i do have the jb hboot installed just to see if that was the issue. had to use fastboot commands to install it so i dont think thats the issue. i think its the download for amonra 3.15 i have. if anyone has a personal copy of 3.15 that is confirmed working and is willing to share it itd be greatly appreciated.
To use the fastboot commands you must be unlocked. With the parsing error. That will sometimes happen if you have a file called "update.zip" on your sdcard. Try seeing if you have one of those files. If your HBOOT does say s-off. Flash the GB RUU. Just so you can verify everything has changed. and then restart with the ICS RUU then flash a recovery. This time not with that tool.

Thank you for the response. i tested to see if i really did have s-off by doing just that. ruu'd back to gb without a hitch. then accepted the ota. so im thinking ill just ruu the ota (3.14.605.12) and see what happens. and im with you on not using the tool again. ive heard really good things about it but never used it personally until today. my old method worked well i just didn't know what else to do at that point lol

To s-off you got to do the wire trick. But RUU then don't use the tool. lol Lets us now if it works out.

Yupp s-off'd with no issues. Just want amonra lol. Ruu'd to OTA and am waiting for my battery to charge up enough to flash via hboot. The amonra thread has a PH98IMG.zip but I think that one was the 3.06 version. Dunno. Will report back.

I'm not trying to be a jerk or whatever but have you read the bottom of the AmonRA OP? It has a link to 3.15 I am pretty sure.
Curious. Why you want AR so bad? We have 2 other fully functional recoveries. lol

Since you're on the OTA ICS firmware, you should definitely NOT be running Amon Ra 3.06. You need to be on 3.15. If the md5's match what's on your sdcard and what's on the OP at that thread, it shouldn't be a bad download, but just in case, I loaded it up on my Dropbox and you can try the one here.
As far as alternate recoveries, while I was very impressed with TWRP, it is incapable of wiping boot, so that's a nonstarter. Admittedly, if Flyhalf solved that issue, I'd switch to it. As far as CWM Touch, that has issues with reading sdcard2, as of the last time I checked, or at least with respect to its interaction with various ROMs and their features. For me at least, having tried all of the Rezound recoveries, Amon Ra is my preferred choice.
just push AR manually instead of using the tool:
Unzip the file from the link listed below onto the root of the C drive on your PC, and it should create a folder called Android on the root of C.
1) open a cmd prompt and type " cd c:\Android " without quotes
2) boot to fastboot and make sure your USB is plugged into the pc and phone
3) type " fastboot flash recovery recovery.img " without the quotes
This should push the AR 3.15 to your device. I included AR 3.15 in the Android folder below.
the folder contains a txt file of a few other handy commands that i use. that txt file is for reference only
https://www.dropbox.com/s/aycfqc37tvkhbdl/Android12-14-2012_22+21+19.rar
I ended up flashing twrp and it worked great. Like a previous poster said if it could wipe boot it would be perfect. But it got the job done and am up and running again. Thank you all for your help!

Glad everything worked out for ya. Wiping boot can cause a lot of problems just sayin. So I debating on putting it back into TWRP. Just ask snuzzo in his kernel thread
A long time ago I rooted my phone, and I think I installed a new ROM on it.
Some time after that I decided I just wanted everything back to stock, so I took off root and re-locked the phone. (In hboot my phone says s-on and **relocked**)
As of late I have the need to get some kind of tethering app working so I was trying to unlock and root my phone again. The way I saw to do it was to use this link http://unlimited.io/jb_vigor.htm
I went ahead and set up my laptop to dual boot into Ubuntu, and have all the other prereqs done, but I'm not sure if I ever went back to the stock ROM on my rezound.
I followed the instructions on this page http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/08/15/exclusive-download-full-ruu-build-4-03-605-2-for-the-htc-rezound/
But received this an error saying "hboot main version is older, update failed"
I'd like to think I'm pretty capable with this stuff but I'll be honest, I'm not exactly sure where this leaves me.

Ok, no need to rename it or anything? Just put it on the sdcard, boot into hboot, and select recovery?
When I do this I get a picture of a phone with a "!" inside of a red triangle next to it.

You have the stock recovery on your phone.
You need to unlock and install a custom recovery first.

I unlocked the phone, which was a pain in the butt since I was using a windows 8 computer.
I loaded TWRP on it, but I'm not 100% sure what you mean when you say flash, there is no "recovery" option.

boot into TWRP recovery, press install, find the file, Swipe to confirm flash.
Then You can install a rom the same way. Just remember since you are S-on, extract the Boot.img from the rom and Place in your fastboot folder,
and fastboot flash it or it will not boot.
"fastboot flash boot boot.img"
If you want a rom just to tether with, any Sense rom should work.

Looking in the stock RUU I downloaded there is no Boot.img, and there is no kernel folder (I found the directions here http://androidforums.com/rezound-all-things-root/499172-how-manually-flash-roms.html#post3933400 ) The only thing I want to do is tether. Do I need s-off for that? The only reason I'm loading up this RUU (or ROM, not sure which it is) is so I can have the stock ROM so I can use the JuopunutBear S-OFF so I can tether. I should actually google s-off vs s-on, I really don't know the difference. Does s-off just mean rooted?
Also, I really appreciate all your help. There's no way I would have been able to figure this out on my own. Thanks.

Ok, I may just flash a rooted rom then.
Since I already have the key to unlock my phone I tried re-locking it and flashing a RUU Zip, but I got the message "remote: 44 hboot version check fail
Not sure what this means, does this not work on hboot 2.28?
I may just end up doing the rooted rom, I just figured I'd go ahead and try this for ****s n giggles.
Try this
download this file, place on your sd card just like the other file and install in recovery
This will root the rom you are on

Not since you are S-on because the Ruu you have has an older Hboot. you can only go backwards with S-off

Fantastic, Got it all working! Thanks again for your help.
EDIT: Even though I have superSU on the phone, When I try to update the su binary the installation fails. And Barnacle Wifi Tether says "Permission Denied!" and "Stopped Unexpectedly!"
I'm sure I'm close. But I'll have to finish it up in the morning.
I installed the original superuser from the market and that seemed to work. Now I'm getting other tethering errors. I'll edit if I can't figure them out.

I realized after I posted the root file you are on latest firmware and that wont work on Hboot 2.28.
I was misled by your thread title, thought you were on older firmware
Download/Flash this in recovery
http://download.chainfire.eu/333/Sup...erSU-v1.34.zip
Then install Busybox from playstore using this app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d....busybox&hl=en
Inside the app choose /system/bin at the top checkmark replace all symlinks choose install then choose smart install.
you can get root checker from the playstore to verify root
