Does update break unrevoked apk? - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys I have the unrevoked apk for basic superuser privlages, and I've read about unrevoked and the new ota but I have trouble determining whether people are describing the part 2 root or not. Can anyone tell me if theunrevoked app still works after the ota? Thanks.

ota breaks root. unrevoked or whatever.

You will lose root, just like it says in their instructions.

Yes you will lose your root, but its not as bad as everyone makes it sound now. With Unrevoked out it is easy to root so just run it then re root with unrevoked. I did the exact same thing on purpose knowing it would unroot me but it was fast and easy to root again and I felt better knowing I was up to date with Sprint's official stuff.
So with UnrEVOked, future OTA updates still work? I'm also thinking about updating the radio, WiMax, etc. (link)

The latest update wouldn't work for me. I had to download the update to my pc, transfer the update to he root of my SD card and run the update from recovery and when it was done I lost root, but I just ran unrevoked again and was rooted once more.
BTW the update isn't exactly a quick process, maybe 20 minutes or so. In fact it was taking so long that I thought it locked up, but it didn't and it worked.

I cannot connect to the network and want to install the OTA to loose root, and then root again later. I installed the OTA via wi-fi but get an error when installing.
Where can I find the unrooted version of the latest ota to download to my PC?

are you rooted? because if you are, that shouldnt have happened. you cannot get OTA's when you are rooted. unless its to their voicemail application but not to their roms.

Are you using stock recovery for flashing? If I recall with s-off you needed to use a stock recovery to install any sprint updates?

by unrooting
u can go ahead and download the ota. itll either download to /cache or to /sdcard/downloads. if u down load it just dont apply it. once u have it downloaded just delete it from the directory it was in.
If you guys are trying to do an OTA update and it actually lets you, then you will lose ROOT, just so ya know....
You can download it without installing it.
Can someone post the update package to see what files changed?

GingerBreak

I was just wondering if the GingerBreak app can fully root my Evo, and not just a temporary root?

It's available for me but I'm not going to download it now because Sprint's ****ty 3G is too damn slow. I'm just going to wait until my friend gets home from work so that I can download it using WiFi.

I was using z4root. I stupidly installed the OTA. I've got GingerBreak running now. I'm not optimistic. It's been cranking for almost 10 minutes. I checked the bootloader, and I'm S-OFF. USB-debugging is on. Fingers crossed.
No dice. Ran for 20 minutes. Closed and never rebooted. I rebooted it myself. No superuser app. No root. Guess we continue to wait.
if im not mistaken u said u s-off? just put a RA pc36img.zip on ur sdcard n update from bootloader. i read that in another post. then u can install another rom.
that is correct. that'll get u a recovery. then just flash a rom.
but does gingerbreak give temp root? if it does, a root method should be easy enough to create.

If you're S off dude, as the other guys told ya, all you need to do is flash a recovery image. Once you flash recovery, you can then flash a rom of your choice. You don't need to wait for anything. as fast as you can download the recovery image is as long as you need to wait! Put a PC36IMG of Amon RA 2.3 on your sd card, then boot to the bootloader. Accept the update. Then choose to boot to recovery. Good luck
EDIT: The pc36img.zip that's attatched is Amon Ra V2.3 recovery.

Can someone point us to a gingerbreak app we can try? All I've found are the compile files.
I got mine from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044765 bottom of the first post.
Whoops, I just checked the bootloader again, and it says "SUPERSONIC EVT3 SHIP S-ON" at the top, so I guess I'm S-ON. Could have sworn it said S-OFF last time I checked.

My god you are persistent. Nobody has given up on attempting to root the new OTA, many of the devs are just waiting for the source to be released. You should know that by now because many people told you last night, and yet you would not listen.

Accidentally?
Nope, nothing you can. You just accidentally screwed yourself. Gingerbreak won't work. You don't think it was tried? The exploit that was used was patched days before HTC released our 2.3.3 update. Coincidence?

[Q] Will 2.3.4 OTA break S-Off?

After searching the forum and reading many posts, it still is not clear to me if the 2.3.4 OTA (I'm being prompted for 4.06) will break S-Off.
When I rooted my Incredible using Unrevoked3, the custom recovery wasn't out yet or otherwise wasn't included. I believe that I am still running stock recovery (haven't flashed any ROMs).
If I do this update will I lose S-Off or lose root?
I know this topic seems redundant, but I haven't read a clear answer.
Thanks.
I'm wondering the same thing.
I just got the last issue on skyraider 4.3 working again, and I don't really want to start over.

What if your phone is only rooted? If you update will you lose root? I don't actually own a dinc but my friends wife keeps asking me if she should update and if she will lose root if she does. Also if she has to reroot after the update do you know of any issues doing so?
I'm having enough issues trying to get everything working with rooting my htc vivid
Thanks for any help.

If the OTA actually can be accepted with your custom recovery (debatable), you would lose root IMO. I think what Stang means is that if you're s-off, you can reflash clockwork and superuser, and reaquire root easily. So it doesn't break your ability to root again.
My daughter downloaded the latest 2.3.4 and now has issues with the memory low icon. Can I downgrade to Froyo? She's finally going to let me root her phone(that I pay for).
Sorry if this isn't the correct thread for this question.
Just press install now and it will count down and not do anything

This was my experience. I managed to cp it to my SD card, before it deleted itself, and now I have to rack up a 10 post count so I can let the developers in the developer forum know I have it ready to send to whomever wants to root it and re-released it.

Excellent! I think I need to flash a recovery though. I either am still on stock, or I don't have one at all (I assume I am on stock). I've never switched ROMs before.

I used bin4ry ver. 30 to root 8.4.1. today I discovered I was OTA upgraded to 8.4.3. However, I still have root and Google Play Store. Tested by downloading Android Firewall and gave it root access permission. I thought the OTA upgrade would break root???

I rooted earlier today without any trouble. I thought I was on 8.4.1 but when I just looked I was at 8.4.3. Not sure if I rooted before or after the update. I disabled OTA with KF First Aide so I thought that it wouldn't update. Either way, I'm rooted and on 8.4.3 with all the google goodies installed and running.
