Are u going with a custom rom or stock? If custom you will first have to ROOT again.

If you move to the unrooted OTA Gingerbread, you will not be able to root as there is no current fix for the 2.3 on EVO.
Your best option is to root - install latest rooted GB OTA and you're done. The rooted version of the update was out in about 12 hours after it started to get pushed from Sprint. Everyone just waited until it was rooted until they installed.

Hi, I was wondering if there was any way to flash the official ota for Gingerbread after it comes out. Since I'm am temp rooted I will miss the official ota. I already know there are leaked versions of gingerbread but I would rather wait for the official release.

well if you ar temp rooted, you might as well finish and perm-root . BUT, you would have to revert back to stock when it does get officially released. itll either brick your phone if you try to update to it, or itll just unroot your phone. you might as well just flash Rmk40's Glite which is the rooted stock rom and you can overclock, and itll be alot faster.
Stock vs Rooted
i would say go with rmk's as well. But I'm not really a fan of stock gingerbread.
Just root already. You won't be sorry.
If you intend on still being able to temp root, or root for that matter, you don't want to install the OTA. Its not rootable, temp or perm, and would need to be downgraded to an older ROM in order to do so.
Once the ota come I won't care about rooting, but will someone post the official ota on xda when it come out?

Ive been looking for 2 hours now and can not find a RUU for the new Gingerbread Rom. Im giving my son my Evo Cuz IM getting the 3D so I just want to give him a STOCK Evo, I already unrooted to Froyo but its saying I dont have an update! I hve NO CLUE why but does anyone know where I can find a stock RUU (not zip) of the new gingerbread ROM?
Should have stayed rooted and downloaded the rooted "stock" gingerbread Rom. It is a stock Rom for rooted users

Root again, flash stock rooted 2.3.3. I don't see why you wouldn't want your son to have it rooted for things like wireless tether.

There is no RUU available yet for the GB 4.22 build. I'm not sure what's preventing you from updating to the OTA, but thought u could get it from htc.com or sprint.com.

I talked with customer service and they said they are having problems with the gingerbread update. I unrooted mine so I could return my evo to sprint. And get the evo 3d.

Please don't unroot your phone. When a rooted Evo comes in it gives me a reason to tell my boss I'll be busy for the next 3hrs unrooting it.

I cannot run the Gingerbread OTA update because i'm rooted. My phone crashes when i try to do the OTA update.
Download rmk's gingersense rom. Go into bootloader by turning off phone, volume down + power, then volume down until recovery is highlighted and press the power button to enter. Once in recovery, I'm assuming you have CWM installed, wipe data/dalvik cache, then go to install rom/zip (i don't remember the exact name lol) and flash rmk gingersense. This will bring you to stock 2.3.3 rooted.

we will be but im helping the guy find the latest ota thats rooted. the only one i see was pulled from here.
if your already s off I believe this is what your looking for http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/0...gingerbread-update-for-htc-incredible-2-leak/
or if your looking to go back to non rooted stock http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/0...8-605-4-same-as-the-official-gingerbread-ota/ this was can be flashed if your s-on it is signed official gb unrooted
you guys officially got gingerbread right? or not yet? looking through the rom you linked i do not see superuser app in system/app at all. the guys dinc2 is already rooted with s-off. i just wanted it back to stock/rooted when i get it for activation.
yeah we got official. If I was u I would run the nonrooted ruu and have a fresh start you can root it very easily with revolutionary anyway. and if you run the official ruu it will give you a totally clean slate and get all his temp files and other junk off of it

Hey guys. I recently rooted my HTC EvO 4G and installed a bunch of custom roms and i wanted to switch back to the stock rom for the EvO. I downloaded the ruu and flashed it and everything's fine, but its running 2.2. I hooked it up to my computer to check for software updates, and it said it had one. I downloaded it and clicked update now. The problem occurred when the update was taking place. It looked like it was updating in recovery.. im not sure.. it said that it could not update and now im stuck with 2.2. Please help??
You could always run Unrevoked to re-root and then flash a stock rooted ROM, that way you'd have the stock feel to the phone so to speak, but still have root access.

Usually people shut up and take what they get lol but I'm guessing you're S=OFF and why would you go stock when there's many great devs who make awesome roms?
