I want root back but have been unable to since moving to ICS with the android police RUU. I have tried many methods but have been recommended to just use a rooted ICS ROM. I would like a complete stock ROM except I would like it rooted. I need this because I would like one rooted stock nandroid backup on my phone and then some other mods later. Thanks to anyone who can help with this or maybe tell me how to get root after this OTA. (I have tried flashing multiple things)
I may be wrong but I thought the root method was the same for ics as it was for gb except you have to flash SuperSU instead of the regular SU since it doesn't work on ICS? What all have you tried?

The Amon-Ra method no longer works. Some people said that flashing superuser.zip would work or flashing su.zip and su binary but nothing has worked. I flashed so much that my phone started doing weird stuff so I just factory reset again hoping that it can be back to normal. I still have no root though and if it helps, I am S-OFF with Amon Ra but can go to TWRP easily

Yes it should work...but the op sk8bert12 said it didn't work for him. I'm beginning to think he had something else going on that was causing a problem...haven't heard from him here or in the other thread in the General section for a while (where he posted same problem). Curious to learn what the deal was. It would help future solution seekers.

Some developers are now putting SuperSU in their roms instead of superuser, so they're both floating around. I know mine, Newt's One XxX (sense 4.0) uses SuperSU.
mines rooted I did it myself used superuser 3.07(flashed in recovery) after installing amon ra 3.15, then I had to go get the latest busybox from the market, voila I have total root access
I am going to try the 3.07 again and another one someone else gave me when I get to my computer. I am still not rooted:/

For those who need help aswell:
Step 1: Flash Amon Ra recovery onto your phone
Step 2: add this file to the ROOT of your external SD Card: http://www.sendspace.com/file/biqzgw
Step 3: Turn off your phone, pull battery, put back in battery, BUT DO NOT TURN BACK ON and look at step 5
Step 5: Hold down the volume down button + power button at same time and wait until the bootloader pops up.
Step 6. Use the volume down button to go to recovery (it should be highlighted blue if selected) and hit the power button. You should now be in Amon ra recovery
Step 7: Use the Volume buttons to move the selector up or down and go down to "Flash zip menu" and hit the power button to select it.
Step 8: Next go down and select "Choose zip from sdcard" and select it by hitting the power buttton again/
Step 9: Now you should find the file for the root here (normally at the very bottom, just remember what you named it) and scroll to it and hit power. It will ask to confirm by hitting the power button again so do so.
Step 10: It will now install, however, If it fails just try to install again until it says it was successful. (It took me 2 tries)
Step 11: Select the return option to return to the main Amon Ra page and select "Reboot system now"
Step 12: While your phone is booting up, put the back cover on if you have not yet done so as it is needed for the next part.
Step 13: Go to the Google Play store, and download this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.busybox.installer&hl=en
Step 14: Open the installer (and superuser might request permission, if it does, click ALLOW) and at the bottom it should say something like "Install". Click this!
Step 15: Once it says it is successful with the installation, go back to the Play store and find the superuser app.
Step 16: Update Superuser and then open it. (Allow superuser permissions again if asked) and scroll the the "info" page which is to the left of the main apps page
Step 17: under su bunary vx.x.x hit the "Tap to check for updates" option.
Step 18: Hit update
Step 19: YOU ARE ROOTED
Step 20: You may uninstall the busybox installer and install any root applications for your leisure!
I just used Hasoon's All-in-One Tool and it couldn't have been simpler.

Ok guys I have a Sensation and I thought I'd guinea pig my WiFi Flyer to see if the permroot method from it works, and it does!
So I will copy from this thread!
Step 3. TO permanently root your Sensation - THIS WILL NOT AFFECT WIFI
1. Copy su-2.3.6.3-ef-signed.zip to your sdcard root DOWNLOAD HERE:
2. Start clockworkmod recovery (instructions below)
3. BACKUP YOUR ROM USING CWM BEFORE ATTEMPTING ROOT!
4. Press Volume Down, Select "Backup & Restore" then select "Backup"
3. Select "install zip from sdcard" after backing up
4. Then select "Choose zip from sdcard"
5. Then select "su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip"
6. Then select "Yes - install su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip" to confirm
7. Then go back
8. Then reboot.
9. You're rooted!
EDIT: If you get stuck and the device will not reboot hold Power/Hold+Volume Down for a while and the device will restart!
After this the device rebooted, and I was able to obtain SU in terminal and also use root explorer to mount R/W!
So big ups to ikhzter for the guide!
Hope this helps you guys out!
Also I will say I used this only on a WiFi Only US Flyer and cannot guarantee this will work on your Flyer/View! Again this is for S-Off devices only!
EDIT: People have reported this working on the View 4G and Flyer GSM
Also if you did not get the ClockworkMOD installed after AlphaRev check here for directions on how to obtain CWM!
Worked thanks
Great!
Great glad to hear, if anyone tries this on a View or GSM Flyer (if you can) could you report back so I can update the OP

I screwed up my Evo 3D root(well not entirely). After I got s-off on 3D I was so excited I unplugged before I ran CWM install. So when I realized the stock recovery would not flash anything even with s-off I went to run revolutionary again only to get "Your device is not supported at this time" Thankfully I was able to flash TWRP using fastboot with their instuctions. My 3d is really the only new device I can play with. My wife does not know her view is rooted.Oops
So I woke up this morning and I noticed a little blue android man standing next to a caution symbol on my phone screen. I was stock rooted before this happened. I believe the recent update went ahead and updated itself while I was sleeping. Can someone help me get my phone back to stock root? If I press the menu button, it brings me to the Revolutionary CWM v4.0.1.4 screen where I have the options to "reboot system now", "apply sdcard:update.zip"... etc. I'm not really good with Revolutionary so before I do anything I would like the opinions and suggestions of others who are more experienced. Obviously I'd like to avoid a factory reset as much as possible. Thanks!
You have to get the stock ruu 2.11.605.5 and re flash it. It will remove root unfortunately because .9 is not rootable yet.
Flash back to non root stock by putting the ruu i mentioned above on your memory card (not in any folders) and rename it to PG05IMG then power off the phone.
Hold power and volume down for a few seconds and the phone will go to the Hboot screen, it will find the PG file and update itself. Once its all done, reroot with revolutionary and then go into the developement section here and get the rooted version of the 2.11.605.9 ruu file and just flash that in recovery.
You will have to flash the new radios as well. They have to be renamed to the same name I posted above and flashed the same way thru the Hboot screen
So even if I were to back up with My Backup Pro, I wouldn't be able to recover all my data, apk's, photos etc. because I wouldn't be able to root on the latest update, correct?
Try wiping cache and rebooting before you flash an RUU, lose root and your data. If it bootloops or is still otherwise non functioning THEN you will have to RUU it.

Your photo and apps should be backed up on your sd card. your setup will be wiped but all the stuff on the sd card will be fine. Just have to reinstall
as for what the post about wiping and rebooting, that will not help unfortunately because the update deletes root. If you want to get back to root, you have to reinstall.

All -
My beloved 3D is telling me there's a security update being pushed by Sprint. I am rooted but with an as yet untouched (stock) ROM. I obviously don't want to lose root - will allowing this update remove root (I've had that issue with past phones). I backed out of the update but the stupid notification won't go away so if it comes to pass that I should *not* allow the update, I need to figure out how to get rid of that blasted icon.
Thanks as always
If you are on hboot 1.50 just flash stock recovery and then take the update...you will not lose root...when done, flash back to wutever recovery you were using before and you're all done....

If you could see me now, you'd see eyes glossed over, deer in the headlights look. Yes, I'm on 1.50...

Then, when done, if I have a stock recovery I don't know how to put shooter xc back on... Cripes I'm chasin my tail...
Wut u need to do is download the 3 files i have attached here for u.Make sure to extract the 2 zip files.
1.Install flash image gui like any other apk and open.
2.Click on Recovery Image then browse to where ever the stock recovery is on your sd card and select it and then click flash.
3.You should now have stock recovery on ur evo so just proceed to install the update. If all goes good you should now be updated.
4.If you want to put cwm as your recovery again just open flash image gui and repeat step 2 but this time just browse to cwm on your sd card and flash that.
You should be all set know.

Is this proven and can you run a rom that isn't updated?
Thank you in advance!
Yes this is proven as I did this myself. Only works if your on the stock rom of your phone. If you mean can you flash a rom that is not updated after you do this the answer is yes. The radio will stay updated no matter what rom you flash since we are on hboot 1.50 and can't flash radios. Hope this answers your question.

You can't. You need a custom recovery. Unless your s-off and you flash it threw the bootloader.

I suspect that if I can find this update in the form of a zip, I could just apply the update from CWM but I have no idea how to get the update in that form... Any help is greatly appreciated

Did you validate that the stock recovery worked by holding volume down and power and booting into recovery? Did you fastboot oem lock? I havent seen much success with people using the flash image GUI but i've seen around the forums that if you go into the custom recovery, flash the stockl recovery zip, flash the stock rom zip then then fastboot oem lock, it works.
Well, two days ago I decided to put ICS on my Amaze. Previous to ICS I was Rooted with S-ON, and Unlocked.
I followed the instructions on the Development section to install ICS on my unlocked, S-ON Amaze. However after I installed CWM, and flashed Superuser, Titanium Backup, or any other root app says I don't have root privileges.
From what I understood, once SU was flashed, the device would be rooted.
I used the All In One Kit to put the CWM Recovery, and flash the SU. I did HTC Steps to unlock the phone (which the AIO Kit helped also)
I tried looking for a solution or something before posting, but I couldn't find one in the 80+ pages of the ICS thread in the Development section.
Thanks in advance!
I initially had an issue flashing Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip (found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20992340&postcount=4) because I didn't toggle the signature setting in recovery. Perhaps it didn't flash correctly? Make sure it said it was successful at flashing the zip.
Flash it again.
Wait....I sent this with Tapatalk?
I realized that my tool didn't set the SU permissions. I have to fix that. Just flash the SU zip file and it'll be fine.

You sure can. Detailed instructions posted in development section. Basically you need to unlock bootloader through HTC, flash a custom recovery, load up the superuser zip, then flash it in your custom recovery. More details are given in other posts already.

Just going to throw this out there. I flashed superuser after installing ICS to get root. It works for most applications, but one app that it doesn't work with is LuckyPatcher (to get rid of those stupid ads in my other apps). For LuckyPatcher to work, I had to install superSU (can be found from the play store). It seems to be my default root app now.

Yep, LuckyPatcher didn't like it. Installing SuperSU took care of it, and it works fine with all of my other apps.
I want to run Mean Rom. My new Evo was updated and has stock 2.13. From what I can read, it looks like I am pretty much screwed because I took the update before I knew I wanted to root. If I am wrong about this and you can help me get Mean Rom on my phone I will send you $20 whole dollars via paypal. - Josh
It would prob be best to send me a PM

Wrong place, but try the regawed htc unlock for root
All you have to do is unlock your phone, install the latest twrp, and then install MeanROM. There is no trick to it. You can use the HTC Developer unlock or use regawmod unlock for root. I have heard that regawmod has some problems automatically loading the new hboot and you have to manually enter the bootloader but he may have that fixed now. The easiest method for you might be to go to HTCdevelopers.com, unlock using htc's method, install goomanager from the play store and use it to install the latest twrp, then download MeanROM 3.9 and install it in recovery. You are already on the new baseband and kernel since you took the update so you won't have to do anything extra when you flash MeanROM.
1. Follow this guide to get unlocked bootloader, and custom recovery: http://htcevohacks.com/htc-evo-4g-l...tc-evo-4g-lte-unlock-bootloadertwrp-recovery/
Note: it says its for 1.22.651.3, but it also works for your version, and when it asks you to download TWRP, download the latest version, 2.2.2.0
2. Make a backup of your current rom by going through TWRP, and select back up
3. Now you want to do a fresh install, because you will be s-on, but use the attached superwipe file to clear everything (this way you don't have to wipe everything manually, it does it for you)
Note: this wipes everything! your OS included, except for your backup
Note2: to install this, you are going to go into recovery (first get into bootloader and then use the power keys and go down to recovery) --> install --> look for the smw6180 zip file that you put on your EXTERNAL card (you can do internal card as well) --> swipe to install and you will see a process that wipes EVERYTHING, give it some time, the erasing boot part takes the longest
4. Have the rom that you want, aka meanrom downloaded, and follow these steps (choose option 1: http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-lte-all-things-root/606748-how-install-kernels-h-boot-1-15-a.html
5. Now put mean rom (the .zip file) on your external sd or internal (whichever you prefer), and then go back into recovery, and install it just like how you did super wipe
6. Reboot to system and enjoy
Note: first time launching it takes time
Note: DO NOT forget to make a backup

He's already on the latest ota so no need to fast boots the kernel.
Sent from my A500 using Tapatalk
regardless of the latest ota he may want to fastboot the kernel if mikey has made any significant changes to the kernel. Though I'm not too familiar with it, I have yet to try mean but i hear nothing but good things so I may have to now
Thank you! You all are awesome! Phone works great. Regawmod did not work. It was midfieldmaestro who got me going on the right track! Shoot me a PM with your paypal email if you want the bounty, otherwise it is going to MeanRom. - Josh

You can also to use Flash Image GUI instead of fastbooting. But it's not needed as the kernel is stock for now.

Don't use the app unless you know how to manually do it via fastboot....
That's asking for trouble. Trouble I don't want to have to deal with

I personally don't trust new users woth flash image, it works, but if you tell them hey use this, they may out of confusion, flash only the kernel and then end up back here with another problem lol and as much as I dislike HTC Dumlock, its the most flexible solution and after their last update to compare ramdisks its pretty rock solid

I use to flash the kernel via fastboot/adb but Flash Image GUI is so much easier. I download the ROM, flash the kernel via Flash Image GUI, reboot to recovery and flash the rest of the ROM and then reboot.
But I agree that you should at least know how to manually flash it via fastboot though.
