I wouldn't since you are already good.
The only thing it does is protect you if you should allow an OTA update and if you want any recommendation, I'd advise not downloading any OTA's ever.
EDIT: At least that is my understanding of what it does.

it only protects you if an S-ON update is not included in that OTA update.
Someone in another thread mentioned they already have a patch for the S-OFF/ON to kill unrevoked forever.
there is a point to the program but seriously, all it takes is an update to kill it and i am not sure what the revoked team was thinking making claims that it would allow root for ever,,,, that was a pretty unsubstantiated claim since, again, all it takes is an update from HTC.
I think the bigger point is that you wont loose root/nand if you flash a bad rom or something.
but i think they made that statement with "never install an OTA update without researching it first" in mind.
now that is how I understand it.

Ahh, see I was under the impression, like probably most, that it was permanent. I wasn't aware that either this tool or HTC could change it back.

The patch for forever was mentioned but I don't think its actually confirmed. Either way, for root users here I don't see any reason to ever to an OTA.

I tryed it, when I first downgraded from 2.2 to 2.1 it asked if I wanted to update, so to see if unrevoked forever really work I downloaded the file and install it.after it was all done I went to bootloader to see is if the security was off and it was it said s-off then all I did is flash the custom recovery that was in the guide and it worked

[Q] run ota while rooted

Any consequences other than losing root? I'm not too concerned about getting it right this second since I know these devs at xda will cook somethin nice up in a few days. Just want to know my options. THanks
EDIT: im running dc 3.2.3 (2.1)
It should just flash the new ROM. Yes, you'll lose root and it probably replaces the bootloader so you can't boot into recovery either, but it should be just another stock phone after that.
So I am rooted and go to load up the update and it puts me in the spot with the android guy and the /!\ what gives...

Well we all know by now once your phone is rooted you cannot do any ota, you are much better of waiting a day or two to get the rooted version from one of the dev.

some of us dont care about loosing root, and as far as i knew i could at anytime upgrade to something sprint put out and all that would happen is i would loose root.
I'm pretty pissed...I thought that an OTA would override the unrEVOked 3 since it's not even full root. Now I gotta figure out what to do next. There is another thread here that describes a method to UNROOT. But I'm not sure if it works with UNREVOKED 3

This is my position aswell. Im sure i read pleanty of people saying unrevoked would have no effect on future updates, and the worst that would happen was loosing root.
eventually all the developers will migrate to froyo as a base so you can wait or you can unroot like me and install the OTA with no prob. When I installed the OTA it kinda installed like a regular app...did not go to bootloader or nothing like that. Then it just rebooted into froyo...did not lose anything such as installed apps or user data etc. It's all good eitherway you choose in my opinion. Keep root and wait...Unroot/OTA and wait...it will only be a short time like almost already and full froyo with root is a done deal...

I had the june update so i was 1.47 but either way this is the program to use...
http://forum.androidcentral.com/htc-evo-4g-roms-hacks/19278-how-unroot-return-stock.html
This in my opinion is the way to go...make sure you use the 1.47 one and you are good to go...then get the OTA FROYO...I did it this way.
I had Unrevoked3 on mine for wifi tethering..and did the manual leaked update (update.zip on sd card etc) and it worked just peachy, if you wanted to go that route. I did lost my root but none of my data (even superusers is still installed lol)
From what I read there isnt much of a difference between the .3 and .6 versions anyway
Maybe if you did that, then waited to see what HTC comes up with for us "early adopters" to get us up to speed lol

[Q] Will this rooting method work?

1. Root with Unrevoked3
2. Perform a "nandroid" backup
3. Install Unrevoked Forever
4. Install all Sprint over the air updates for radio, etc <-- Can I do this???
5. Install ClockworkMod and use it to load a 2.2 rooted Rom
Yes, but don't mess with Unrevoked3, it's not a full root. Use Simple Root or just do it manually like a real man using the tutorials.
Rooting will wipe your data if you do it manually, but you can use Unrevoked to do a partial root and then do nandroid or Titanium/MyBackup, just know that you'll still need a full root after that.
Also, you'll just have to flash whatever radios you want using recovery, after you root. It's all done the same way, just flash the zip file. Just watch out when you do radios, they often go through 2-3 automatic reboots during the process. NEVER interrupt the flashing even if you think it's stuck, just wait a few minutes for it to get to your lock screen and be ready.
One thing that bothers me about flashing radios is it seems like it always breaks things from what I'm reading.
Thats why I was thinking about to use unrevoked forever(so I don't have to worry about losing root), and then use the real over the air updates from sprint to update my radios.
Seems safer and more reliable to do radios that way?

Most people just mess up the process. Check the md5 sum and leave the phone alone until you get to the lock screen. Many pull the battery out thinking its going through a boot loop when it really isn't. This bricks it. It is relatively safe.
Yeah, it's usually the user that screws up rather than the software. The OTA is doing the same thing, just initiating from the OS instead of recovery. It's no safer, the radios that you find on the boards are the same files as the OTAs anyway.

Unrevoked3 + Unrevoked Forever is definitely a full root. I basically did what the OP wrote, except I used the pre-rooted stock Froyo update.
OP, you may wish to look at this thread:

Gotcha. Thanks guys!
Is there a general rule of thumb with which radio to run?
I'm using the thread below which lists radios and wimax, and I at first assumed the newest is the best, but people complain 2.15.00.07.28 makes their calls choppy, and things like that. Is it safer to go 1 version back, or is there another way to make sure you're getting one that's 110% good to go?

I returned my Incredible after the first week due to this stupid OTA update, and got a new incredible. Rooted it soon as I got home. Screw that update and waiting for a fix!
what did u tell them to get a new one?
First I called tech support and said it rebooted and was force closing. They had me do a factory reset.
Next day I went to store and told them about previous tech support, but told them it hadn't force closed anymore, but it continued to randomly reboot.
The tech guy asked if I had accepted the update, and I stated I had. He immediately said that was the cause of my problems, and swapped out the phone.
He said his girlfriend had an Incredible from day one, and when she accepted the update the other day, it would reboot at least once a day!

The NOV OTA can't be rooted yet. The Unrevoked3 tool doesn't work on it yet, they are working on an update for their tool, but no eta yet.
There are instructions to downgrade, use Unrevoked3 to root and install ClockworkMod, then use UnrevokedForever to get S-OFF, update to the OTA, and re-install CWM Recovery and SU to gain root.
Take a look at the discussion in -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=776481&page=13

Exactly! It was force closing, but no rebooting More like stretching the truth.
i just got a brand new inc thru insurance (cracked my old one) and i activated it, booted up, and it i know it said 2.2 was installed. i said what the hell, tried to root it, and it worked. it must be an SLCD, becuase i got white bars, so im installing the modded recovery for SLCD now.
Exactly what I did when I got my new one. You just have to do it before you, or a vzw rep, accepts the update right after activating.
that must be why, the update did keep popping up lol. i guess it works on 2.2, but not if you go the Nov OTA. there is a guide to downgrade though so all phones can be rooted currently (not sure about SLCD that got the Nov. OTA though)

Yes all phones can be downgraded even if they are completely stock..you can re-flash signed RUUs no problem from within HBOOT.
This really isn't that big of a deal that everyone is making it out to be, but it would be a "nice" feature once you are able to root the latest OTA directly especially for the very few who just leave their phones completely stock and do nothing but root it.
If you use custom ROMs none of this matters.
Just thought I'd mention that the 3.22 update was just posted on their site.

Unless u ran unrevoked forever and have s off forever than by running the update u will lose root. Even if ur s off forever u run the risk of losing root as well. At best u can flash one of the gb roms in the dev section.

If I had to make a choice I'd go to the dev section and choose a rom that I liked and flashed that. Then u don't have to wireless bout it anymore. With root u unlock things but also can get alot better battery life and can customize things like percentage battery and different lock screeens and lots more. Just look around and test things out before u give up. Its not as hard as u think to get the hang of it.
ok wow im stupid.
unrevoked forever is what i used. my bad lol sorry.
s-off
we tried 3 but it wouldnt work for some reason so we did the forever.
phone is rooted for sure.
so if i did the sprint update from the "update phone" section on the phone...i would lose root? would it flash phone too? honestly at this point idc about the root anymore really. i am about to upgrade to the Evo 3D next weekend

If ur upgrading to 3vo then no big deal. Upon reading u might have to unroot phone to get update to work. If ur selling ur evo back to sprint when u get new phone then run the s on from unrevoked and then unroot and take update. If ur putting it on eBay or craigslist or selling to a friend u can unroot and leave it s off so other person can reroot if they want
ok. so where is the best instructions on how to unroot?
i seen one in the dev section near the top (Unroot in 2 steps)<---that one?

Correct yourself and stop spreading wrong information.
S off does not mean you are rooted nor does it have any correlation with being rooted.
S off is the security flag which allows the bootloader to flash unsigned/unofficial images to the partitions.
An evo can be rooted and still have the security flag s on.
Even the installation instructions for unrevoked forever state you have to be rooted FIRST WITH A CUSTOM RECOVERY ALREADY INSTALLED in order to apply the unrevoked forever patch.
You should get your information straight before you start to put it out.

I wasn't being a douche. You ever heard of constructive criticism? Op stated he was still rooted and didn't take the ota. He was wondering what would happen if he did. He was also unsure if he was s on or not which has nothing to do with being rooted. You gave wrong information about the security flag when you should have told him to verify if he is s off even though he has a rooted rom. If he was s on then you could have told him to flash unrevoked forever and then he can accept the ota if he wanted.
Helping is one thing, helping with wrong information is another.

[Q] unroot for gingerbread?

2.3 is pushing this week, before accepting the update do I need to unroot my phone? It's on Unrevoked at the moment. Or can I push the update and it will magically unroot my phone? If that happens will unrevoked work again or will it be stuck in no root land till someone finds a root for 2.3?
Ugh! There are probably 20 threads that cover this but since there will probably be 20 more... If you want to stay rooted don't update until a Dev has had a chance to release a rooted stock version. Unrevoked will most likely (99%) not work to get you root.
Your best bet is to just be patient and keep an eye on the development section. Someone will definately release a rooted version, relatively quickly. I think the leaked gingerbread was rooted the same day it got leaked.

Or you could just go to a custom ROM in the meantime... they're so much better than stock anyway

Yes. That's exactly what thread after thread is saying. Search function bro... Really. Frankly, I think doing such a thing would be pretty stupid, but that's your call. And I'll tell you exactly why it would be stupid......
In a few short days you're gonna see a flood of ADB rooted ROMs in the dev section that will unquestionably be better than the bone stock job you'll be totally stuck with. I can tell you from experience that just because its an OTA doesn't mean its better. And if you're that crazy for the bleeding edge of Android, the version of gingerbread in the OTA will not be as current as CM7. I don't personally like gingerbread much. It hasn't cracked up to be the magic elixir people make it out to be, just like so many new devices that everyone SWEARS will be the next digital Mecha.... Incidentally, I'm typing this on the HTC Mecha, which was swooned over for month, then hated on for all the same weaknesses the dInc has.
Friend to friend here... I wouldn't tell anyone to do what you're think of doing.
I'm being steered in the same direction. On 2.2 rooted with unrevoked. Unrooting is undeniably more complicated than rooting IMO and, as stated, the ROMs that are going to be builted off the 2.3 OTA will be better.
I'm just never flashed a ROM before so we'll see how that goes haha
You can unroot, go that route if you'd like. But there's already 2 rooted, ready to go zips of the OTA in the Development forum you could just download and flash.
I guess what I don't understand is, people seem to think that receiving the OTA you get MORE than just flashing the OTA zip that's been rooted/ready for flashing. IT'S THE SAME THING!
In order to unroot, reload the RUU or PB31IMG.zip file to get to stock, if something goes wrong, you've got a nice brick on your hands. You'll lose root when you unroot and accept the OTA, since Unrevoked's exploit is 99% more than likely patched.
You can do all of that work just to accept the OTA, but remember, you'll need to wait for root. Trust me, any day now you'll be seeing the threads of "I accepted the OTA and Unrevoked doesn't work!"...please don't be in that group of people.
