if you want root all you gotta do is download amon ra 3.1.6 and flash it via fastboot....in that recovery you will see a developers option (advanced options) select that and inside it youll see install su & superuser...once you do that you are rooted bud

Yeah, the toolkit is... ummm... less than optimum.
Remember you don't even have to flash Amon Ra, or any other recovery... just download and unzip into your adb/fastboot directory, then reboot into hboot and start fastboot and enter:
fastboot boot recovery.img (replace "recovery.img" with the img name from the Amon Ra ZIP file)
then use the options in Amon Ra to install SuperSU (root) from there you can update to the latest version after it is installed.

thank yall for the responses!
oh ok. Where would you download it from? Could you send me a link? It would be great if you could point me to a youtube video of someone doing it or I would need a little more in depth of what to do to install (step by step).
there is guides posted for this already...amon ra can be found in the rezound original development thread....at the top right type in the search options for it and it will come up...also in google type in rezound fastboot recovery and theres many ways to show you how....for fastbooting a recovery the code ace javelin posted above is correct...im not at all trying to come of rude just very busy developing kit kat right now

If your bootloader is unlocked already, then it is super simple because you are already unlocked and therefore have working ADB...
1) Just download a recovery, CWM, TWRP, or Amon Ra
2) Extract the ZIP to your [adb sdk directory]\platform-tools\ directory (or mini-adb if you went that route)
3) Download the latest SuperSU here: http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu
4) Copy UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.80.zip to the root of your SD Card
5) On your PC open a command prompt in your adb directory
6) type "adb reboot bootloader", wait for it to complete and start fastboot
7) type "fastboot boot recovery.img" (substitute the name of the img file from the recovery zip for recovery.img)
8) Install/flash (depending on recovery) and find the UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.80.zip file and install/flash it
9) reboot
10) done, enjoy root

Will this work on Windows 8.1 64 bit? I've managed to unlock the bootloader, but cannot get SU installed. Thanks.

I think you need different drivers for Windows 8, I don't have a Windows 8 machine so I really can't help you with that, sorey... Maybe @REV3NT3CH can help here.

When in fastboot, type fastboot devices and see if it sees your phone... My guess is you have a driver issue.
