I have a question if you are running a custom 2.2 rom will your phone still get the official 2.2 OTA update?
First, What rom are you running? If its not stock sense then no. I don't think that it will allow the ota if your rooted either. If you are looking for the OTA, you can find it online and install it manually, or you will need to RUU back to 2.1 then wait for it to ask you.
Android 2.2
I am running Skyraider 3.0 Vanilla.

You already have 2.2, so why would you be asked to download 2.2? lol
Logic, bro.

hi just wanted to know if i can update to the ota 2.2 from without running to problems?? don't care if im gonna lose root access.
i beleive fresh blocks the OTA so you may have to manually update. if it lets yuo download the ota through the settigns then you should not have any problems.
As a note fresh and many others already have 2.2 roms using the new ota out. if rooted you may want to grab one of those since currently thre is NO WAY to reroot your phone on 2.2

Correct,do not upgrade manually, just flash a 1.47 based rom and then the newest Fresh 3.0.1

NO NOT GO TO THE HTC WEBSITE, just flash any 2.2 based rom
either would be ways of manually updating it. I just ment that you cant get the OTA automatically. So you would want to download either the HTC update (killing root chances) or root and download a rooted stock and flash it giving you the best of both worlds.

thanks for all the help everyone.
I know this question has probably already been answered but I didn't see it. I am on Damage 3.2.3. If I go to one of the latest rooted 2.2 builds and update radio and wimax, will I be able to go back to a nandroid back up of my 2.1 setup like I did when I went between CM6 and 2.1?
yes you can. I have done this many times with out problems. just back that nand up
That was with the latest OTA update, correct?

thats only with a ROOTED version of the OTA.
if you get the official OTA that hasnt been fixed for root then no
So, in that thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=743352 there is a rooted OTA Froyo for the EVO, I have two questions about it. 1) do I use the same method as in this thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=690762
2) can I update from the 3.36.651.3 (leaked build) directly?
Holey F'n Crap....that was literally 4 minutes from when I bumped the NO ROOT ON 2.2 thread. Seriously!!!
You cannot load a ROM unless you are rooted...there is no root for 2.2. No you cannot load a rooted 2.2 ROM over a non rooted version of anything.
Interesting, I was able to load the leaked 2.2 on my stock unrooted EVO.... So is that only possible with the official updates????

Yes.
(....)
From the rooted Froyo link
You might be able to just flash this over the leaked ota, but I advise doing a full wipe before flashing just to be safe.

Does that mean the leaked version that came out a few days before the OTA or a rooted version of the leaked one that came out a few days early???
There are now rooted versions of both. It would mean the rooted version.
I havean evolution that was rooted with 2.1. I am wondering if I can just put a 2.2 rom on it or should I unroot, update to 2.2 then reroot?

Isn't an Evolution a car?
Why would you possibly want to un-root?

Just boot into recovery, do a nandroid backup, then a full wipe and flash the new ROM.
Dang auto-correct...no evolution, just an evo...thanks...that's what I thought

Also, i am wondering if i can put the newest official rom on it while its still rooted so it will be stock 2.2 apart from being rooted, and if not, what is the closest to stock 2.2 rom that runs stable and isnt missing anything. Im doing this for a friend and he wants stock 2.2 with root access

Well the general rule for root users (and soon to be root users) is never take the unrooted OTA update from Sprint until an official root method for it has been confirmed. That said, I've read in another thread that Unrevoked 3.21 (or whatever the newest version is) apparently worked perfectly for at least one person.
this is probably a noob question but this is my second android phone and the first one was already rooted so i didnt to update OTA.
Anyways i have desire z from bell unlocked on fido and not rooted so when android 2.3 is out for this phone can i get it OTA, do i have to rooted just to update it, or do i have to switch to bell to update it?
I'm sure the update will be here on the forums before you get any OTA.

Oh i dont need to root my phone to update from the forums?
If you leave your phone how it is, on the stock ROM, eventually you should get a 2.3 OTA update.
But custom ROMs will be available here on the forums with 2.3 way before then. If you want one then you will have to root and S-OFF.

No. I pushed the G2's OTA from my sd card and I wasn't rooted. Like steviewevie said you're most likely to see a custom rom with the updates before any OTA hits a G2.

And if you have a Custom Sense ROM installed,you don`t get the
OTA Update or rather can`t install this!
Custom ROMs don`t like OTA keys,right?

That's right. But that shouldn't be a problem, because a custom ROM will almost certainly get a 2.3 update before any 2.3 OTA comes out.
Root it now, while you still have the chance!
You can count on the next OTA update taking away the emmc reset vulnerability exploited by wpthis.
