Hi, I'm new to the community and I just had a few questions. I watched the noon video and read the rezound crash course root and Rom thread. My question is, does that thread cover EVERYTHING. This will be my first attempt at this, but I won't bother you guys with any more questions. Thanks!

Basically, if you don't know what you're doing exactly, I would download and use hasoons toolkit. But you have to do these things.
Download fasboot,adb,and the rezound drivers and have HTC sync UNINSTALLED
1.upgrade to ICS (if not already there)
2.unlock the boot loader on htcdev.com
3.install custom recovery (amon ra)
4.Install a custom rom
5.install the kernel with fastboot
6.have fun!

A great program to use is the HTC Rezound All-In-One tool. It's a very easy way to flash a recovery (amon ra works the best for most ROMs from what I've noticed) and makes flashing a different kernel extremely easy if your Rezound is S-On. Have fun and don't forget to make a nandroid backup in recovery.

I installed the unrooted ICS but i have tried over 5 different superuser.zips and note of then will root my device. I even tried a zerg rush root script and it failed with htc sync, without it, in bootloader, in fastboot, in recovery and off. I would appreciate a way to flash a superuser.zip, i tried the prerooted earlier and i got extreme stability issues
Flash Amon Ra recovery and install superuser from Developer menu.

Sometimes Amon Ra doesn't work. Usually you have to use this method as a 2nd resource. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22680227&postcount=1036. Honestly I prefer using the 2nd method and flashing this .zip
I have been encouraged to install 4ext, but being a noob, I don't know how to remove cwm and install 4ext. Is it a matter of downloading the new recovery program and installing and letting it overwrite or do I have to remove cwm first?
Thanks!
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA
It overwrites . Just run the 4ext updater app
Also, I used the HTC dev method to unlock so I am still s-on. Is that an issue with this project?

It's not an issue just download the app and when it runs it will ask if you're s-on then flash the 4ext overwriting cwm. Then your all set. It can flash kernels making fast boot or flash gui obsolete

Got it done last night, thanks for the help.

yes it will over write cwm and you can theme it out madmaxx is the man check it out you want be sorry

Sorry i am a nood but after i install 4ext using the updated, my recovery still look like cwm. I installed 4ext touch but it never appear as such. Please help. I am s-on and htcdev unlock.
edit: i use manual recovery flashing through fastboot and solved this. thanks
Can someone possibly give those of us who aren't s-off the steps to flash either of these roms. Any help is greatly appreciated guys.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
I would assume the same way as other roms except after you install the rom, flash gapps as well. Then flash boot.img in fastboot
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2
Would that cover the kernel as well? I ask because dmeadows says it requires s-off and alludes to ways to do it s-on but didn't give specifics. I'm on my phone only with the XDA app so searching isn't any simple task
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
Yes. It should work like any other rom. I also recommend you s-off soon if you plan on doing it at all before the ota comes out. It saves a lot of headache
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2
I'm HTC unlocked, just haven't been around a pc long enough since I did that to s-off yet.

How to install without S-OFF:
1) Make sure you are on a currently rooted rom w/ htc dev unlock
2) Run the S-OFF Utility
3) Reflash recovery & fix sd card
4) Install ROM as instructed
lol, pull the boot image from the rom.zip & flash it in fastboot
What con said will work... if you want to know what you are actually doing with some more in-depth instructions then check out this post over at androidforums.com:

Um I'd say so, what he's saying is just a off already its really not difficult at all and it makes flashing roms so much easier and you'll never boot loop because of a PH98IMG again!

I know it is a simple task, except when you are a newbie and get errors you don't know how to fix because you have no idea what they means. I have tried so many times to s-off and always get errors (I don't even remember what they were). So I am still s-on, not because I choose to, but because it does not work for me. I am not very tecchie , I just know how to follow the instructions to root. So I unlocked, my bootloader, and am flashing different roms. But when the instructions are very generic, with the assumption that everyone knows the technical terms and process, some people like me stay behind and remain s-on, even though they would like to get s-off.
The instructions for s-off are as simple as I've ever seen something like this made. Totally step-by-step. You only have to run controlbear and follow the instructions. The only tough part is the wire trick, and they have a video showing exactly how to do it.
My biggest problem in doing it was the wire trick. I tried wire from cat5 and failed repeatedly. I ended up using a piece of coax and got it to work almost immediately.
I flashed CM9 and AOKP the same exact way as I would any other rom with S-ON. Wipe, flash, fast boot boot.img (I just use the resound all in one tool to flash the kernel because it has the built in commands)

I've read a bunch of the threads regarding rooting my Rezound and started the process the other night, but seem to have confused myself. I'd like to get some input as to what I need to do next before I do it.
I unlocked the bootloader and loaded Amon Ra 3.15 recovery. After going through that and rebooting, I have the Superuser app installed, but Titanium Backup says it cannot obtain root privileges. When booting into the bootloader, the top of the screen says "Tampered" and "Unlocked". Do I need to relock it, unlock it again and immediately run superuser through recovery? Or can I just load a rooted ROM? I am currently S-On, but my ultimate goal, I think, is to be S-Off. I guess I'm a little confused as to which point I can do the wire trick to get S-Off.
Thanks for any help.
Do a search for a supersu.zip that you can flash in recovery. That should get you where you need to be. Or be fore you do that you can try to install superuser via the amon ra developer menu.

Uninstall superUser
Download the latest version of SuperSU zip file and install it with Amon RA recovery
http://download.chainfire.eu/204/SuperSU/
I'll give that a shot. Thanks. Once I do that, I should be good to go on trying the wire trick, correct?

That worked perfectly! Thanks for the assistance. Now all I need to do is get S-Off and begin flashing ROMs!

You don't even need s-off to flash roms everything is achievable in both s-on and off it just changes how you go about doing some things. but it make everything easier

This may be a noob question so please dont get annoyed. I have my amaze 4g s-on, unlocked bootloader, rooted and twrp installed via Hansoon tool. My question is that I want to install 4ext. Can I simply use Hansoon tool to install 4ext or do I have to remove twrp first? If so how do I remove it?

Even easier to just install the 4ext app and install. Or fastboot flash. Flashing recovery is one of the easiest things to do on any phone
