If you are using Amon Ra recovery all you need to do is boot to recovery and use the superuser installation in the developers menu.
that didnt work. i install it... reboot and go to super user and try to update the bu or whatever and it says root fails.
I rooted the same way I did in GB.

ill try it again by re installed the leak completely. do you kno how to TEMP install a custom recovery so i can keep stock and recieve ota updates?
Try flashing the full SU located here
http://androidsu.com/superuser/
Then from the Play store, install Busybox installer and get the latest.
Regarding recovery, flash AmonRA 3.15 in fastboot with unlocked bootloader. "fastboot flash recovery **filename**.img" Your HBOOT will show **TAMPERED** but that is normal.
You can flash this in recovery

No need to rename, put onto root of SD card and then use the 'flash zip' options within AmonRA...or whatever custom recovery you have.
Disregard, I didn't see the last post on here.
Did not work. Any other ideas?
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):

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.
Wow, I've posted 3 threads here in the same week. I just can't seem to stop having problems. I fixed the constant crashing on my phone by installing a stock RUU or whatever (OTA 3.14.605,12). I unlocked my bootloader again and have Amon Ra recovery. I used the developer menu to install Superuser, but it appears that I still don't have root access. I tried using the OneClickRoot, but it wasn't able to do anything and claims it was unable to remount the system. right after that is when it can't do anything. Is it having problems because I am on ICS?
Thank You.
Ok, you want to root your ics.
o you can not root using amon ra menu item for rooting
o you can not root using the latest version of SuperUser from the author's website http://androidsu.com/superuser/
o you can root using a 6 month old version of SuperUser but will lose root if you update it
So, the best course of action is to download the latest version of SuperSU. It does the same function as SuperUser app.
Download the SuperSU zip file to your sd card, and flash it using amon ra recovers.
http://download.chainfire.eu/204/SuperSU/CWM-SuperSU-v0.94.zip
You can download the Superuser update fixer from the Playstore....works for me. I did pay for the "Elite" key though.

Thanks for posting up that link. Worked perfectly.
Finally, unlocked, s-off and rooted!
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.

You need to install a custom recovery, and then flash a ROM with superuser access. Then you will be rooted. If you simply want a stock rooted ROM, you can download the app SuperSU from the Play Store and install it, and you will have root access.

SuperSU won't launch. It gives an error "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!"
I was hoping to get SU access on my current stock ROM without installing another ROM. With it being "stock s-off" throws a wrench into that plan.
Ninja Edit: Using the app "Root Checker Basic" says the device does not have proper root access. So S-OFF means jack when it comes to the ROM I assume?
