No. Windows 8/8.1 is not a supported operating system for the Rezound.
Are you S-ON or S-OFF? What recovery do you have installed?
I'm S-ON and the phone came with amon ra 3.13 pre-installed (I bought it already rooted)... I was told that in order to use TWRP all I had to do was download it and it would become my new recovery?

no you have to fastboot flash it with a windows 7 computer since your s-on...and also the recovery depends on rom...if your on Ice cream sandwhich or lower you want amon ra 3.16 only.....if Jelly bean or higher you want TWRP or CWM latest
Although there are some possible ways to flash recovery and Roms when S-On and without a Win 7 or similar PC it is very risky... If anything goes wrong at all, you will need access to a Win 7/XP machine or could brick it. Honestly I would recommend not attempting further modification of your phone without access to a PC with working Linux, Mac, or PC Windows (7 or earlier) with working fastboot.

Flashing ROMs and everything works just fine in Windows 8.1, although you might need an update to your USB controller drivers. Most computers that ship with Windows 8.1 won't use the screwy generic ones, so you should be fine using your tablet.

Incorrect. Get the GooManager app, touch the menu button choose install OpenRecoveryScript. You can flash boot.img's and recovery.img's even if s-on while you're booted into a rom.

Thanks everyone, took care of TWRP through goo manager. If I have roms on my SD card- I can just go to "flash roms" in goo manager, select the rom and select flash, wipe cache/dalvik and factory data reset and thats it?

Ok sorry if this has been discussed before but this is the first time I Rooted a phone. Last night I followed the Guide and sucessfullly Rooted My EVO 3D. I have S-OFF and Titanium Backup shows super user access.
I seleceted "NO" to clockwork recovery during the rooting process because the guide said that it could crash and I wanted to make the process as seamless as possible. Now I want to install a custom ROM and want to know how to install Clockwork Recovery manually on my phone.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I used Unrevoked, everything went smooth. I currently have TeamWin's recovery, but can I also install ClockworkRecovery? I have no idea if they would interfere with one another, or if having both is even possible?
If you use the revolution tool again its gonna tell you that you already have s off but it asks you if you want to download and install clockwork recovery. Y and enter and you got clockwork Found this by accident when I tried rooting a friends phone but didn't know he had s off already.

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.

are you s-off?
what version of SuperSu did you flash? What Rom are you running? The latest SuperSU 1.94? Doesn't work for 4.2.2. If your S-off why and have CWM recovery why not flash a custom rom?
I am trying to do just that. I can't really find any up to date info to help me step by step, so I am piecing together the newest info I can find. I am a little confused right now. Stuck on trying to root. I flashed superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip

Do I need to root to load a custom rom? Is s-off =root on htc? I guess I have deleted everything off the phone and now it is stuck at the white htc screen. I can get to recovery but did not perform any backups. I can get to bootloader and recovery and I guess need to sideload a rom. I haven't had time the last few days to try anything new. Thanks for the input, I need to fix my dna so I can get off of this note 2 I don't like. I don't understand why htc doesn't sell better.... my dna was the **** before I ruined it!
S-off is secure flag removed meaning you can install unsigned firmware (eng hboot) unlocked means you can write to system partition and other secure partitions. Root means you have an app (like supersu) able to have other apps execute admin (root for Linux) commands. If you have cwm installed, just side load a pre rooted Rom from development sections.

You are old partition. You can only flash ROMs built for that. Also, you are S-on, so if the ROM you're trying to flash is not sense based with a kernel installer, you will have to extract the boot img and flash via fastboot or flash img GUI or flashify. Otherwise, relock your bootloader, run the .4 RUU and reobtain root and reinstall custom recovery and get S-off to flash new partition ROMs.
Edit:
Consider getting S-off first. Makes life easier.

Just download the .4 RUU to a (preferably Windows 7) PC and make sure you have all updated drivers installed (may require latest HTC sync manager). Connect your phone via USB and double click the exe file and follow onscreen instructions. Some more info here:

I'm assuming you're not S-OFF or SuperCID.
Hmmmm... Okay here's what to do I need you to follow these exact steps.
Extract the CM10 rom to it's own folder
Take the boot.img and place it in the windroid kernel folder (assuming that there's a kernel folder)
Open the windroid tool and select "Flash Kernel" and select the boot.img from the rom.
Now follow the instructions (I think you have to be in fastboot mode, I'm not sure.)
I think this procedure is right, I'm not entirely sure. I haven't had this problem in almost a year, since I decided to get S-OFF and SuperCID.
OK...the boot animation for cm is still going 2 hrs+ probably the recovery isn't right though no? Flashed last cm official with 5.0.2.9. I'll do as u suggested the for your input. And no idea for s-off sorry this phone is foreign to me

It won't boot, it's stuck in a bootloop because you haven't done S-OFF or SuperCID. It's what makes the custom roms work.
Please try my suggestion. And performing S-OFF is really not that hard, it's very very easy. Although most times I know that it's done on the Asian or Unbranded version of the Amaze that's stuck on GB.
Your recovery is fine, I can assure you that. Only KitKat roms require 4ext version 6 to flash properly.
Another idea just popped into my head, go into your recovery and enter the advanced settings, scroll down and you should see something called "Smartflash"
Make sure that this is enabled.
Do a full wipe (factory reset>cache>dalvik>all partitions except SD card) and then re-install your CM10.
Ok...thanks again for taking the time to help. I know it can be frustrating if the same probably basic issue comes up but phones do vary. Learned something new

Well you see this isn't the same exact problem that everybody else has, ultimately it's the same cause but like you said, it varies.
You're on ICS, from Telsus. Most of the people who create posts are from the Unbranded Amaze crying about their device being stuck in a bootloop or that their phone unexpectedly blew up and killed all their hopes and dreams.
I don't think there's much posts about Telsus Amaze, hopefully someone will see your post and know more than I do and provide more information.

Any kitkat Rom for amaze won't flash on twrp/cwm recovery since those recoveries are outdated and haven't been updated for our device. Since your device is S-ON with ICS Rom Telsus it just needs 4ext touch recovery with smart flash on. Kernel won't flash on cwm/twrp recovery with S-ON since there's no smart flash option in them that's why your phone was stuck in cm boot screen. Good thing you figured it out.

If you want to flash any KitKat Rom we have for the Amaze, you need the latest version of 4ext recovery.
I'm really not sure how S-On devices are prepared for this so hopefully just having smartflash on will work. If it gets stuck in the bootloop again, you can try flashing the boot.img and see if it boots up properly
Thx again guys...kitkat installed woohoo and didn't need to flash boot worked from install zip
