I have rooted phone HTC Disare and when come out official update 2.3 , can i update it , i now lost my root but phone be working correctly ?
You mentioned you lost your root?
might be a safe bet to install the RUU if you want the official and are rooted...?
or install a custom rom version of it
I know that I'd lose my root when I install official update 2.3 but phone be working correctly any brick ?
I guess there's always a chance.
if you want to install an official rom on top of a rooted/custom rom then I'd guess RUU is the safest way

Hi, I been thinking about flashing my desire to a custom Rom but I want to be able to update to the official update when it is released by htc. Is the possible or will I need to flash back to the original Rom first?

no, once htc release an official rom, you can just flash the ruu as usuall i wouldnt advise it tho or you may have trouble rooting, wait for a dev to remove the new hboot and root it before you flash
Hi All!
I got root on my Desire via unrevoked but I did not install any custom ROM, I am using my stock ROM with root permissions.
Guys will I be able to do the official OTA update from HTC for froyo ? do I have to go back to stock rom to do this or will I be able to upgrade without any issue?
Thanks to all...
I'm in the exact same situation as you are and I'm hopeful that we will receive, normally, the OTA update.
I can't think of any reason why NOT to get the OTA update, as rooting can't interfere with updates (hope so).
it is possible to do OTA after root, but it could be impossible to root after OTA
I need to know before rooting my desire.If i go the Rooting way,will the HTC Sense ROM still be there after rooting and will recovery mode still function?I have to be sure cos im not too familiar with all these android programming stuff.This is my first android phone and i get confused when i see different methods of rooting,flashing Roms and other stuff.Thanks Could you pls direct me to the most useful step by step instrution for rooting and keeping HTC sense
Yes use Unrevoked 3 to root. It will install a custom recovery and the stock rom is still there but you have root permissions now.
once rooted,will you still be able to install an official OTA update from HTC onto the phone?
i've rooted my originally unlocked and unbranded desire but would like confirmation that i'll still be able to install an official OTA update from HTC when the new improved version of Froyo has been by them.Thanks
nope you won't, use one of modified rom's.

You will not be able to install an official OTA update unless you un-root. There are a no of modified Roms out there which apparently are basically rooted versions of Froyo....so if you install one of these you pretty well get your cake and eat it, i.e. you will have installed a version of Froyo which is almost OTA pristine but is rooted. I understand the neophyte Rom is one of these, as is this one:

I can confirm you will need to manually update after doing this
I have stock ROM installed and stock recovery and I want to keep that way.
So my questions is, is it possible to root my device while keeping everything stock and get OTA updates without problems.
The only thing I need rooting for is to use Market Enabler.
You need to flash a custom recovery to root your phone but that won't enable your phone to get OTA udates (only notification), so when you get an update notification you have to reflash your stock recovery and unroot your phone to apply OTA updates.

If you wanted to unroot and so flash a stock recovery, how would you know which one to use? Is there a set recovery for each version of the phone, or is it the software version? So you'd just get the latest version you can find? For the phone of course. Thanks.

A dev just release exploit based rooting method, you might wanna to try it since you wish to keep stock recovery.
However, you might loose root access after OTA as they always patch the root access back. Simply use some root keeper or method from above(if working) to gain back root access.
UPDATES: seems we have solid devices, LINK. You may try it, though.
Hi guys, as tittle say I am new at this, now I have root and recovery but I want to update via ota and because of root and recovery, I think, ota doesn't flash. How can I get latest official android, I believe it is 4.4.4, and, if it possible, don't loose root and recovery? Is there a way? If don't, where and how can I get latest android and root and recovery on latest version?
