OTA update with Root possible ?? done by Unrevoked3

Hi All!
I got root on my Desire via unrevoked but I did not install any custom ROM, I am using my stock ROM with root permissions.
Guys will I be able to do the official OTA update from HTC for froyo ? do I have to go back to stock rom to do this or will I be able to upgrade without any issue?
Thanks to all...

I'm in the exact same situation as you are and I'm hopeful that we will receive, normally, the OTA update.
I can't think of any reason why NOT to get the OTA update, as rooting can't interfere with updates (hope so).

it is possible to do OTA after root, but it could be impossible to root after OTA

[Q] Problems doing the lastest OTA update?

The last two times I have tried to install the latest update (2.2 I believe) to my EVO, it has downloaded just fine but then seems to crash when it tries to do the actual install.
What I get is a screen showing the little green android next to an oblique triangle with an exclamation point in it. Everything stops at that point.
I have previously rooted the phone (no nand though) so I could install the android wireless tether, etc. Other than that though, I have not done too much with the phone. It's been running fine, so I have no idea what may be causing the new OTA update to crash.
(I've heard there have been some problems with the update and I really do want to be able to re-root the phone after the fact, if that could be a problem..so as far as that goes I'm in no hurry.)
Still, does anyone have any idea what might cause the latest update to crash? Should I perhaps manually copy it to my SD card and try running it from there?
Thanks,
JTT

You probably have a custom recovery so you can't OTA

OP,
You trying to maintain root? Then don't flash the OTA. If you are tryign to get back to stock, then run the 2.2 RUU file. That will wipe your phone and you will get stock - and NO root.

the question is how did you root the phone?....
in the end to keep root its, apply the 1.47 ota update, install unrevoked3, unrevoked forever, install stock recovery, update to 2.2 froyo, install custom recovery, install superuser app, then BAM you are rooted on 2.2

[Q] OTA system update 3.26.605.1

I recently started getting system update notices for 3.26.605.1 on my D-Inc.
I'm running the "standard" clockworkmod recovery that flashed when I rooted the phone. As I understand it, I can not install the update because I'm rooted so is there a way that I can stop the notices (without unrooting and going stock)?
I've also read chatter on other forums about a fix or "root version" on the way from unrevoked, but I haven't been able to find anything official.
Can anyone confirm an update from unrevoked?
Thanks.

You will lose root when you install the update but you will still have S-OFF so you will be able to flash custom ROMs still. You could just flash a custom ROM and can achieve root that way.
If you like to run stock ROM then you have to wait or you'll lose root. unrevoked is working on an update but it is not released as of right now.
If you prefer stock you could simply try ROMs that are very similar to stock for example Virtuous, that way you won't have to worry about this again.

RE: OTA system update 3.26.605.1
UnrEVOked has a 3.22 vervion out now. Is that the update you were referring to?
If so, how do I go about installing it?

Instructions for applying the update, re-rooting, and re-installing SU ONLY if you have S-OFF.
Read the instructions, and the warnings. Take all precautionary measures.
Although I took a Titanium backup of everything, I did not have to restore anything. Nothing was "wiped".

[Q] Install An Official Update

I have rooted phone HTC Disare and when come out official update 2.3 , can i update it , i now lost my root but phone be working correctly ?

You mentioned you lost your root?
might be a safe bet to install the RUU if you want the official and are rooted...?
or install a custom rom version of it

I know that I'd lose my root when I install official update 2.3 but phone be working correctly any brick ?

I guess there's always a chance.
if you want to install an official rom on top of a rooted/custom rom then I'd guess RUU is the safest way

Any way to remove CWM and return to stock recovery?

I heard there is a new update available for thd e980. I froze the updater (lol) so I dont know for sure, but if there is an update, I want to update without having to redo everything on my phone.
I currently have CWM on my phone and am rooted. Is there any way to return only the recovery to stock so that I can update my phone OTA? Again, ONLY the recovery... not reinstalling the entire firmware.
