So I used the Autoroot method last night and it flashed the Sprint Lovers ROM.
Which updates can I still run?
Firmware
Profile
PRL
HTC Software
These are all options for my in my EVO.
Correct me if I'm wrong but only prl and profile...

Correct. Firmware and software updates will kill your root and your rom.

Thanks guys!
Yeah for the updates just flash the .zips associated with what you want, for otas usually your Rom dev has it same day if sometimes early, he will update your Rom for you and you will keep root

Can I do the update over the air if I'm using a custom ROM? I thought I read somewhere that other OTA's have bricked phones.

OTA updates don't work on custom ROMs. If you have unrevoked forever and don't want to wait, you can just flash back to stock everything to get it back to working. Otherwise it'll only take a few hours after release for a rooted version of it to be released in the forums.
Would my phone unroot if I accept the system update on my phone? I think its the build number update. It says system update 3.29.651.5

Hmm I see well is there any way I can update without unrooting my phone or is it not necessary?

You can probably find a rooted stock rom somewhere in the development section. Hopefully there's one that's been updated to the latest release.

Yep hopefully there is. It took me for ever to finally root my phone I'm not that great with rooting phones since I'm new to this stuff. Should be somewhat easier to root again.

So I just got done running this Auto Root method on my new Evo, and all went well. But it says it flashes the Sprint Lovers ROM, and when it flashed it, it also flashed my radio. Before my PRL had 60679, now it has changed to 60662? Is this supposed to happen? And can I update my PRL now that I'm on this Sprint Lovers ROM?

Yes You can update PRL.

This is more than likely a noob question but I just received a notice for the 2.3.4 OTA update. I was wondering if I went through with it is it possible to still do the revolutionary root method?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Yes, you can still use revolutionary root.
Thanks. Should I just perform the OTA update and the reroot or should I unroot the phone prior to the update

Why reroot? If you want the stock rooted update, just flash that specific rom. Brad has the stock rooted update rom, just look for it in the development section. It should be on the first page

Yes you will. But you'll lose root and CWM of you accept it.
Edit: if you have superuser paid version it does have ota survival but its not guaranteed to keep root.

If you have a custom recovery or if you have removed sprint bloatware it won't go through. Just root us fine though

On stock rooted Roms and some TW Roms yes. But i usually take the update on my stock rooted Rom. It tries to install and restarts the phone then i get a android with triangle screen. But, i pull the battery and restart and all is fine. No more ota notifications and everything remains the same...

You know if you read in the general section. There is an ota notification kill. Then you dont have to worry about that. But to each their own.

Has anyone tried Rootkeeper with this OTA? If so, can you provide feedback on the results?
