Recently i rooted my evo with the unrvoked 3 forever, i was wondering if id be able to get the OTA offical update when it comes out and also when i do get gingerbread will it automatically unroot my phone?

It will unroot your phone and yes you will get OTA updates BUT
YOu will still have S-off to my understanding.
I would under no circumstances take a ota update if your rooted. Just wait a day or so and flash a rooted version. You could run into issues otherwise.
Don't Do It
I agree. Don't ever do an OTA update once rooted or you will have to do it all over again. Like previously stated, just wait a day or two and you can get a rooted version of the OTA. Also, go flash the ROM now. The devs have plenty of GB Sense 1.0 & 2.1 ROMS for the EVO. Why wait for a official OTA?
I guess i just want the offical release lol, when i get home ill try flashing gingerbread

Hello all,
My roommate and I each have EVO phones. Both of us are rooted and running CM6. However, my roommate is complaining of no 4g and wants to go back to original HTC Sense Froyo. I tried to talk him out of it but to no avail. However, neither of us know how to do the official Froyo OTA. Any help on as to how?
Thanks
*Edit* He doesn't want root anymore because he wants to updated PRI
There is a link on here somewhere to the original HTC RUU file. From what I can tell, if you use a Sprint-provided RUU, you run the risk of losing the ability to root forever, but the HTC one wont.
I went from rooted and nand-unlocked back down to stock with the RUU. Once you are stock, then you qualify for the regularly pushed OTA updates.

Want to lose root? Use the leaked 'official' RUU here

Want to keep root? Boot into recovery, complete wipe and flash the following

Edit: Also make sure your RPI will get updated by flashing that RUU.

STOP!!!!!!! Your roommate WILL NOT GET THE UPDATED PRI IF HE UNROOTS AND GOES OFFICIAL!!!! You have to wait for pri fix. The only way right now to get the new pri is to call insurance tell them whatever, drop ur phone in the toilet, pay the $100 and wait for a new phone. Trust me i know everything about this phone. As for 4g, tell him to run calkulins rom with netarchys kernal better battery life than cm6 and he will have 4g no problem. Hope this helps.

Just got a notification that OTA update version version 3.70.651.1 is available. I have a "new" evo (bought 2 weeks ago) and I'm waiting for the update to Unrevoked to be released so I can root my phone.
My question is...if I download this new OTA update will it keep me from being able to use the new unrevoked (whenever it is released)?
I'm sure that this has been posted before but it will affected your ability to root somehow. The update is just out so there is no definitive way of knowing. Just be patient. Once you get root on your device AS IT CURRENTLY IS (no update applied) then go on ahead and flash one of the deodexed versions of the new ROM that will be flying around...
Just root the phone with its current software build using the unrevoked that is out now and then flash the stock 3.70 onto the phone from any of the devs. There is like 3 versions already and all of them are completely stock. Once someone figures out how to root the new build then use the ruu file that flashes the phone back to stock and unroots it..... You will then have a fresh build of the new OTA ... Root it using whatever proven method comes out and flash away....
Patience young grasshopper.... LOL

Unrevoked tends to corrupt newer phones, especially their 4G. They are not configured the same.

Well the thing is the current Unrevoked doesn't work on my phone as it CURRENTLY is...I have the newest version from the store and it's not currently supported by Unrevoked. So if Unrevoked isn't even out for the version I currently have, it's gonna take even longer to come out with a version of Unrevoked that's compatible with the new OTA update that came out today (if that makes sense lol). But i think you're right...I'll just wait for the new Unrevoked to come out for my current software and take it from there.
Hi i just checked out of routine waiting for gingerbread lol sad,but anyway htc have released a system update looks like just simple updates etc. my phone just wont allow it for some reason,when i had my upgrade it was on vodafone,but changed the rom to an unbranded rom.so i could get froyo. I had the first update they let out in november but this one just wont have it.my phone displays the red triangle.ive read briefly on here could be the rom i installed casuing this
my question is until gingerbread arrives is it worth faffing around changing roms etc just for this maninentence update.
also if i decided to use one of these customs roms and root etc,is it easy to revert the phone back to the current state if i wanted stock gingerbread
You can get FroYo. There is no 'stock gingerbread'.
Gingerbread is not officially available for Desire, and probably won't be for a few months.
If you root your phone, you can have gingerbread and yes you can go back to stock.
Just got the update as well - is there a changelog somewhere?
What update? I don't get no OTA at this time...
If your talking about the 2.29.405.5 OTA for some reason it can't be applied to debranded phones as it detects the original branding. I had the same problem. with my orange uk desire. The only way to apply it is to run the RUU for this update.

if it is the 2.29.405.5 update there's another thread discussing what may have changed.
There's some suggestion that its a few camera fixes
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.
HTC has announced they will be releasing a Gingerbread update to the original Desire. My present Desire is currently rooted and S-OFF'ed, so I know I wont get the OTA notification because my phone doesn't match up. But will I be able to download the OTA package and then do a manual update or will that one stop because my phone doesn't match?
Would an Unroot be enough or would I need to restore the Security to its On position again in order to be able to update either way?. And what about the apps I removed, would I have to readd these or what?.
A rooted ROM will be posted in a day, so you will easily just flash that.
If you really want official GB that badly, unroot, and return to stock - then only is it totally safe to use the official update

Agreed, but that would only be a good idea if you plan to stay unrooted!
If you want to run a custom rom, there is no reason to return to stock!
At this moment I dont have any use or desire for a custom rom. All I actually want is get the new GB update from HTC when it comes out. Just not sure I can do that without a lot of hassle considering my phone is presently rooted, has S-OFF and i removed apps.
Unless all the apps will return when I unroot?. But in essence it wont really mattter as my Desire would be laying in a drawer somewhere at that point anyway . When I get my new phone my Desire is getting retired, much the same way my G1 was retired when I got my Desire.
