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.
