Flash a custom recovery with flashify. Download the app and recovery image place it on your phone and then flash using flashify. The twrp recovery can be found in the original development thread for the DNA. Download the latest version and flash it. Then download the newest su zip from the su website. Google it. Flash that in recovery and you will have root.

I have a unlocked rezound with the leaked 4.03 ICS update installed... How do I root it?
I have tried One click Root, but it seems that was designed for Ginger bread. HELP!!!
I have been rooting and flashing on the droid x2 and a Droid charge. Rooting and updating wasnt nearly as difficult. Consider me somewhat of a noob.
Thanks in advance for all your help.

You need to install Su from recovery under the development menu.

You can always flash Scott's CleanRom. It comes already rooted.
If you unlocked and ran RUU leak, you'll need to install a custom recovery such as Amon Ra. After that boot to recovery and then go to the developer menu to install Su, which will give you root.
Search forum for the Amon Ra thread to get the 3.15 version that supports your leaked firmware. Flash it using fastboot.

In order to run the ruu, the phone needed to be locked/relocked. Make sure that after the ruu process was complete you unlocked the phone again using the htcdev.com tool or hasoons tool. Then you should be able to flash recovery and add super user with amon ra.

Install AmonRa recovery.
Install su from developer section on amonra
Flash SuperUser zip package from their site.
Buy a cookie, but don't eat it. Just watch it... Closely

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)

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

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.

So could I flash a Rom with goo manager with s-on or would i have to do it via fastboot?

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.

The next step is to flash a Jelly Bean compatible custom recovery and then flash Superuser .zip in recovery to gain root accessing. For a full overview of the process I would recommend taking a look at this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2316662.

thank you very much, it was successful
I unlocked the phone using rumrunner, and then loaded cwm recovery. I then installed the superuser, and it appears to succeed. Then I checked root with root checker and it said sorry you don't have proper root. I have checked my steps again and again, but am still pretty new to htc.

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.

Thanks, I will try the sideload. Any ideas where I can find such a rom. Oh wait I think I s-on ed trying to fix it.... will I still be able to fast boot USB and unlock again for s-off? I sure hope so.
