So I have been rooted with unrevoked 3 for a while and today I got unrevoked forever and upgraded to the 2.15 radio.
I want to install the leaked OTA but i dont know where to start. Help?
Thanks in advance
Little searching goes a long way.
But HERE you go.

Hello All,
I have an EVO that was running 1.47 (rooted) with no issues. In anticipation for a 100% bugless Froyo ROM I unrooted with the 1.47 RUU so I wouldn't have any issues with the Official OTA. After HTC pulled the ROM I found the manual install version here at XDA and wanted to give it a shot.
While searching for the 3.26 "official" update I stumbled upon Ava's 2.2 ROM. I tried to reroot using SimpleRoot OTA and install Ava's ROM. Once I got to step four I received the error that the original version of the ROM was newer and it wouldn't finish. I tried to follow the steps found in thread ID 7454229 (can't post links yet) but received a Error 140: Bootloader Version Error. I figured that the rooted ROMs for 2.2 weren't far off and one of the geniuses here at XDA would have it rooted in a day or two - so I didn't think twice about just updating to the "official" HTC 2.2.
I received an email with Flipz' new Fresh v3 beta and wanted to jump ship back to the rooted world. When I attempt to reflash the 1.47 RUU I still receive the Error 140: Bootloader Version error. So I'm kind of stuck, I know I'm not rooted anymore (I get prompts from Quickboot and ROM Manager) and I can't flash to an older version to re-root. I've searched and tried repeated times with no success - can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance for all of your help!
Wait, so are you on 1.47 or on Froyo? I'm a bit confused. If you are on 1.47, then you shouldn't have a problem rooting using one of the 1.47 root methods. If you are on Froyo, you are screwed for the time being.
I'm on the 3.26 Froyo update. I was trying to get back to 1.47 via the RUU to reroot with SimpleRoot OTA. Sorry for the long winded, confusing post. I was just trying to provide as many details as possible. I kind of conceded to just waiting for the official 2.2 OTA and an XDAer to root it. I'm just impatient and really want to try out Fresh v3 and Fresh Kitchen.
Thanks for the quick reply!
Greetings all,
I am running 3.26 and rooted it using Unrevoked3. It is working great, including 4G here in St. Louis, etc. I searched for an answer to my question, but couldn't find an applicable answer. Here goes:
I have a good nandroid backup, and over the weekend, I tried to upgrade it using the 3.29 OTA update. The update failed, with the exclamation mark inside the triangle and the green guy to the lower right of it. Had to pull the battery, but it booted back up just fine.
Is the 3.29 updater failing because it sees root/s-off? What do I need to do in order to be able to get 3.29 on? Unroot and turn s-on somehow?
Thanks in advance, just trying to learn my way around.

Well Rob when I did the update I was s-off so I know that does not make a difference. I rooted my phone the downgrade,unrevoked3, and unrevoked forever way. When the OTA came I put a stock ruu on my phone which probably unrooted it but kept the s-off. I then updated the phone then reinstalled the old bootloader and recovery soit was back to rooted. I don't know if that might help or not just thought I would tell you my way. Probably easier ways out there

did you see this:

i originally go the phone with 3.30 something and i forgot which method was it, but i downgraded to 3.26 i guess. i always kept getting notifications about the OTA to 3.29 but ignored them and tried using Unrevoked 3.21 but it said something Triumph and since then my 4G doesn't work, i get like PCS number invalid, check username/password(something like dat) i tried using i think 1.17 PC36IMG but i get Main Version Older or soemthing, Update Failed. anyone got any ideas. i got my Evo about 5 days ago.
wow u need some help. what method did you use to root? how far did you get in that method? how much farther do you want to go? 4g not working might actually be permanent, but that is only a maybe. us talented almost-devs/helpers at the xda will have you back on your feet in no time.
also, pc or mac? hardware version? hboot version? etc.

i have a Win7 64-bit, i got 2.02 hboot? i tried rooting but never got it. used simple root 1.47 snd got to 3.26 somehow. used to get updates to upgrade to 3.29 then i tried unrevoked 3 and bam. thats where im at now. noww if i could only get 4g to work and get root, id be happy lol
I have heard many times that it is very bad to run unrevoked on a hboot 2.02 phone. Try running an ruu to get back to 3.30, and then follow one of the hboot 2.02 guides out there
Hello everyone and thanks in advance for answering my question. I have 2.2 android version and i rooted my phone with unrevoked. I keep getting notices on my phone for an update but everytime try to update my phone goes through the process and i have to take the battery out because an exclamtion point comes up. I rooted my phone for wifi tethering and want to keep this. So how do i upgrade my evo to the latest version and still be able to use wifi tethering.
Thanks in advance
DO NOT do the OTA update or you will lose your root. Go to the EVO development forum and get a ROM based on the 3.70 update.

A yeah , don't do the OTA from sprint. Now that you started the update make sure that you are still S-OFF
You can apply the ota fine if you have s-off. All you need to do is flash the stock recovery, apply the ota, then flash clockwork or amon recovery, and then install superuser. I have done it twice now. You can find more details here and android central forums.
Look at my other posts for more details.

Just picked up my EVO couple of days ago and I can't stop modding. Anyways, I rooted my phone and tried to do OTA. Well, after reading and searching I reflashed my phone with stock RUU and then updated. Rooted again and used Titanium to get all of my files back.
Very pleased but now I'm getting bored and need to do more modding.
my Incredible 2 had been running the Magnolia Beta for the past few months with no issues, until this weekend. It suddenly started to download an update from verizon, but since my phone was obviously rooted this ended badly. In short i was forced to roll back to froyo (2.2.1) but could not manage to change s-off back, so i cannot upgrade back to gingerbread. anybody that can help me out here would be greatly appreciated. at this point i would just be happy to be able to run the most current firmware.
Thanks

What all have you tried?
Have you tried to flash the 2.3.3 RUU through HBOOT?
Can you root your 2.2.1 if so then you can just flash custom rom again and update kernel.
I've tried the RUU, but that hasnt been working, adb wont recognize my phone, no matter the settings. Could I load the RUU through the phone without adb?
I havent been able to find any tool to root 2.2.1, because Revolutionary was updated to only Gingerbread.
EDIT: Just loaded the 2.3.3 RUU, which actually worked. Can i just root with revolutionary now? Or should i take other steps before that?
Just root with revolutionary and get to flashing.
