Go to dwv thread, find sticky roll up thread. Unlock bootloader, root, flash recovery, flash Rom of choice then profit.
This does require knowledge of ADB. S-off is highly recommended.

Flash Amon Ra and then either flash a superSU.zip (check my ICS help thread for a lot of the links) or flash Amon Ra then a custom rom of your choice (recommended)

You are probably using SuperSu as the superuser app. You can go into settings of that app and select permanent unroot.
You can then lock up you bootloader by opening a command prompt and going to your adb and using fast boot commands you can type fastboot OEM lock you can then proceed to download the latest ruu 2.13 just search the on here for it and run that with your phone still connected to your computer.
If your soff you can just run the ruu or install a stock ROM via recovery.
Multiple ways to do it just depends on a lot of variables like what ROM your on, s-off or s-on, what hboot your on 1.12 or 1.15, if you just want root gone or you also what to dump custom recovery as well and if you want it completely stock like it just came out of the box.
Let us know some more info and someone will help out

You are right. That's not what most people want when they go to unroot though. H-boot will still be unlocked/S-OFF and the phone will probably still have a custom recovery (depending on root method)
So get back to us OP

You run it from your computer.
When I saw the news for the HTC Thunderbolt ICS update finaly out I got so excited, I returned my phone to stock, ran the update, and was happy... not thinking "what if they update the HBOOT"...well THEY DID. Stupid me for not waiting one more day for the rooted release! So now Im unable to acheive S-OFF as my HBOOT is now 1.08.0000.
Perhaps its too soon to be asking this, but is there a way to S-OFF the new HBOOT?

Well if anything came out of this, we now know for certain the results of accepting the update and hopefully warn others. I have to take this phone into best buy for repairs, and seeing as I already did this once and they just gave me a (defective) refurbished model, they most likely will do it again.

Yes but the tool (Thunderbolt tool) does not handle HBoot 1.08 at the moment. I wish it would because this would solve my problem
Find the thread that has the fastboot flash able form of cwm and then get back to me. I'm thinking that the root method may be different now though so I'm worried an ordinary version of superuser won't work.

I decided to take the plunge, and perform the OTA, after that hopped over to HTCDev to get the bootloader unlock to root. Flashed the handy dandy CWM recovery from fastboot, and rebooted into recovery. Flashed the SuperUser package. Guess What? No ROOT.

I did a fastboot and flashed frev3vo, and ran adb shell.....although I wasn't root at the prompt, I was able to su root from adb shell, but I don't know at this point how to get back to root. I probably can't load an RUU either cause I lost S-OFF.

Hello, I am on 3.16 and hboot 2.09 and am not sure how to root. I have already unlocked my boot loader via HTCdev but am not sure what to do next to achieve root. I looked into Dirtyracun but since I'm on windows it seems like a ton of work so I wanted to see if there was anything simpler. So i just wanted to know if that is my only option to achieve root. Thank you
DirtyRacun is for achieving S-OFF, which is separate from rooting your phone. You said you've already unlocked your bootloader so the next step is to install a custom recovery. TWRP is the popular one for our phone. Once you have TWRP installed you can install custom ROMS on your phone and they will come with root access bundled with them.
Okay thank you for you reply. Are there any major benefits to getting s off

Major? Not that I'm aware of.
Ok thanks for the help
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
There are plenty of benefits to being S-off. You are practically future-proofing your phone by gaining S-off. Gaining S-off, you no longer have to flash the kernel separately from the ROM (the exception is Hboot 1.12). You can upgrade and downgrade your firmware, and flash custom splash screens. I'd say those are pretty major. Yes, you can still flash ROM's while S-on, but being S-off simplifies the process, in addition to gaining the benefits I listed above
As far as getting your phone rooted, you need to install a custom recovery, such as TWRP. After that, you can flash a custom ROM that gives root access.

You flash ROM's through recovery. I only use Goo Manager to update my recovery. If you don't already have a custom recovery installed, head over to the TeamWin website for info on installing a recovery to your phone. Once installed you can boot into recovery & flash a ROM. For ease of installation I recommend MeanBean, which has an S-on kernel installer. There are plenty of other ROM's to choose from, though.
Also, feel free to check out Bigdaddy619's guide in the link below.

Hey all, new rezound owner, coming from a thunderbolt. I'm going to be using win7 x64. What's the easiest way to root and rom? I see a few threads here about s-off but nothing about root. I'm thinking about going with pacman rom but I am open to suggestions.
Any help is appreciated, thanks.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
You need to start with unlocking the bootloader via the HTCDEV site - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20780879&postcount=1
After that you can install a recovery, root the stock rom or install a custom already rooted rom.
If you remain s-on, you'll need to flash the kernel with any rom you want to install separately via fastboot.
One of the best guides for rooting the Rezound, although slightly dated... http://forums.androidcentral.com/re...66392-guide-unlocking-rooting-roming-faq.html
Note that Amon Ra recovery is not recommended for any ROM higher than ICS, CWM or TWRP is, you can substitute it anywhere Amon Ra is in most guides on the internet.
I recommend twrp. There are cool themes made by Reventech and its probably the most stable.

I have twrp in my N7 and am familiar with it. I did have CWM but didn't like the way it hides backups, lack of versatility.
