Root Rezound rooting help/introduction

[xeno_silver]

Hello my name is David and and I could really use some help rooting my HTC Rezound. I've been digging my hair out following many different tutorials and program downloads that epically fail for the last week now. Any assistance would be appreciated. I'm a total noob at this and to be honest I'm amazed I haven't bricked my phone yet. lol I can provide any info needed, just let me know. Root Checker Pro is telling me:
System File Properties for Root Access:
Standard Location
Check Command: Is -I/system/bin/su:
Result: -rwsr-sr-x root root 22228 2013-07-09 19:21 su
Analysis: Setuid attribute is present and root user ownership is present. Root access is correctly configured for this file. Executing this file can grant root access!

I have no idea how to execute said file... Thanks for any help in adavnce.

have you flashed superuser in recovery? i personally like superSU. there are download links and basic instructions in this thread: http://androidforums.com/rezound-al...ys-noob-friendly-root-guide-start-finish.html

if you have a recovery,just follow step 3. if not,start at step 2. if youre not unlocked yeteek youll need to do the whole thing

Hi Scotty and thanks for the help. I've been into recovery mode and went into developer menu and used the install su and superuser option if that's what you're reffering to? I followed that exact guide to the best of my knowledge. Well that and others and i still come up with the same outcome. The phone is currently unlocked aswell.

no,thats not what im refering to. the install su recovery option no longer works on newer builds. youll need to go to the link i gave,and use those directions.(they dont say anywhere to use a recovery option to install su )

superSU is a zip file that is flashed in recovery,in the same manner you would flash a rom(flash zip menu,choose zip,etc)

I'm so sorry for waisting your time man... that totally worked!!! Frustration (due to the fact I've been fighting with this for a week and I was one step away ) and relief all at once. So appreciate the help man. HUGE THANKS
