Root HTC Rhyme (Bliss) ICS 4.0.3 Sense 3.6 Full Root [non-Verizon]

Report of someone getting ICS working on the rhyme:

HTC Rhyme (Bliss) ICS 4.0.3 Sense 3.6 Full Root - xda-developers

If you're on Verizon, don't do it. It took 4 hours of hair pulling and an eventual version spoof to get it back to stock. This update will only cause a bootloop.

How did you get back to stock i made an nandroid before i flashed and did a restore but still stuck on the white htc screen

Try holding down Vol Dwn + Power until the phone resets. Keep holding Vol Dwn but let go of power and you should be back to bootloader and get back into recovery.

In order to get back to STOCK everything, you need to apply the RUU. But you can only RUU if you re-LOCK your phone.

Heyy ize...!! i think i have some questions to answer. i already update my device to ics (4.0.3) official and i was unlocked it too. Then i was trying to root my phone with HTCsupertool but always corrupt? not corrupt but failed, why was that? do you think we need to root our device? whats the difference between root and unroot? How do we know that our device was rooted? and the last but not least, can you give me a step how the way to root my rhyme? i'm looking forward your feedback. thanks

sounds like you have a european GSM version of the rhyme.

the supertool fails,as its exploits were patched with ICS.

you will need to unlock the bootloader thru htcdev,then install a GSM-compatible recovery(wich we will have to search for-so far only seen it for vzw phones)
