IF you do this you will lose root. How do you UNINSTALL ROOT?
You will be if you try installing this ota, but that will be forever quit possibly SO READ BELOW
IF YOU INSTALL THAT OTA UPDATE YOU WILL LOSE ROOT MAYBE FOREVER!

how to uninstall unrevoked....
V
just dont do it...
I would just get rid of unrevoked, and do a FULL root and you can have all teh OTA goodness without the worry.
I am sure most devs will have roms based on this code within a day... (Some devs (check out the fresh line) already have the code being posted to servers for their donors)
Uninstall unrevoked
Same boat here, how to uninstall unrevoked.
Has anyone found the Modded Adobe Flash Library file for the newest Market Version (10.1.106.16) yet?
I heard it was floating around unrevoked's IRC channel, but I have yet to see it pop up.
Patiently waiting in the mean time.

You don't need a modified flash file. The zip file attached above contains everything you need. Pay attention to the last sentence in the post. You NEED to download the latest version of Flash Player from the marketplace. After you do that install the file you downloaded above from recovery.

Doesn't work. I updated Adobe in the market, then downloaded this .zip and installed it via recovery and now I get "Hulu is not supported on your platform".

Check your path for the libflashplayer.so file.
Is it data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib?
You could always try ripping the .so file out of the zip and just pushing it with root explorer or adb.
I tried doesn't work for me either... I tried doing it both ways.

Root explorer method I mentioned above worked for me. I'll try and see if I can get the update script working.
I tried the root explorer way it didn't work for me still get the error.
Ok it works it just doesn't survive a reboot.

Working for me even after a reboot. Wonder if it's ROM related? Are you running an AOSP? Anyway, I'll tinker with it a bit more and see if I have any luck.
Yep I'm on aosp 2.3.2. Either way thanks I can deal with doing it manually.

You can just get the rooted version of it on this site if you do the ota you will lose root and so far there is no way to get it back yet .

Why install the OTA when there are complete ROMS here that are better than what you're gonna have with stock 2.3.3???

It is possible if you're s-off with Unrevoked Forever on Froyo. I had to switch to Amon Ra in order to install the update and then reflash Amon Ra after the update. Had to update Superuser after that but after that was fully rooted on the update.
There are several stock rooted versions of the OTA available, there's no reason that you need to lose root just to have the latest update.
If you are keen on losing root though, then go for it. You can install it with S-Off just fine, and since it'll remain S-Off you'll be able to flash a recovery on there and re-root by flashing a rooted rom.
If your intent is to have the latest update but also have root, then just flash one of the already-rooted stock roms available in the Android Development forum.
To hip kat, I actually don't like any custom roms, I'm an ogee only person and I tweak what I want or need myself. To tempe, how did you get clockwork off first assuming you had it? Also I used the unrevoked3 method but since mine is sprint, it automatically does a perm nand unlock.

Well, easiest is to just use Rom Manager to flash alternate recovery, that's what I did before running the OTA. After, you'll need to do it manually. If you search here on "recovery" you should find threads that have the pc36img.zip files for both Clockworkmod and Amon Ra. After installing the OTA, turn off the fastboot option under Settings/Applications. Copy the pc36img.zip file for the recovery you want to use to the SD card, shut down your phone and then hold volume down while turning it back on. Just follow the prompts on the screen from there. After the recovery is installed you should be able to boot up and have root. If the Superuser app give you FC's search around here for the fixed superuser zip and flash it.
You can go S-on with the Unrevoked S-On tool....
I don't want s-on hip, trying to keep s-off. And thanks tempe for your help.

Ok turns out im having problems installing the update, I forgot I deleted system apps. Here's the error:
assert failed: apply_patch_check /system/app/Blockbuster_htc.apk 2eE:unknown command etc etc, ideas?

According to the error you posted, it's just the blockbuster app that your missing. Did you uninstall other system apps? Or just that. You need to have all your system apps installed for it to work. I'll attatch the blockbuster app for you. You'll need to install it to /system/app using ADB or using Root Explorer. If adb, do this
adb remount
adb push Blockbuster_htc.apk /system/app
adb reboot
If using root explorer, just copy the apk to the /system/app folder and set the permissions the same as all the other apps in the system folder.
Also, it would be much easier for you just to flash a rooted stock rom. Here's a link for ya. You'd just flash the rom like normal, from within recovery. It'd save you some hassle.

As much as I would love to see that happen (for my own amusement), I do believe in bad karma and if you let someone do that knowing what they're about to get into then you're properly gonna get the bone too......who knows, your phone might just blow up on the way to work while you're playing angry birds or some crap...hahahaha
I've already chosen to just do the rooted ota but I'm trying to figure out if I need to flash the radio. The second link in the topic is showing 2.15.00.04.08 but mine is higher at 00.11.19. The combined link with pri and wimax is the one I don't know yet

I don't believe flashing the radio is necessary if you're doing the stock ota, I didn't have any issues with my current radio while I was using stock 2.3.3 (or any other ROM that I've used so far)
Alright I did the de-odex rooted ota but now the problem is once booted up, I cant update the prl or profile, it gives me an error. Im re-wiping the dalvik cache to see if that fixes it but is there any other steps I should try?
Side question, is a stock rom that came with the phone or an ota update a odex or de-odex?
Thanks for this thread, I have been searching high & low to see if S-Off would stay off or automatically turn back on. Thanks for the clarification!
Verified!

I ended up testing myself to know for sure and S-Off will stay off if you do the OTA update. If you want to start rooting again, just download Amon_Ra Recovery, and Bam, flash any Rom you want! Thanks for the starting of the thread! Confirmed!
ok i just rooted 2.3 and well download rom manager and superuser. so i have s-off already made sure i did, so i get an error with superuser "su was not found" zip file has been placed on sd...... ok i booted into recovery blah blah and found the .zip and recovery tries to update but it then says aborted... i need some help here already did some research but cant really find a fix
Go to revolutionary website and use it to get on to there irc channel and ask for evo 4g su apk. The one on there website didnt work for me So i asked them and they linked me to a different one that works fine.

okay, first off im gonna start out saying i am a samsung user and know nothing about htc. my buddy got an evo 4g for free and he wants me to root and install a rom, so i figured out i need s-on but have no idea how to do it. i tried the revolutionary thing but i entered the beta code and it always says invalid. please help! how do i do this?
Check your Hboot version first, if you haven't already done so. You can check the version by going into the bootloader (volume down+power). If it's 2.18 you'll have to use the Htcdev method to unlock the bootloader, install a custom recovery and root the phone. Revolutionary won't work with the newest Hboot. Incidentally, you don't have to have S-OFF to install a ROM or flash kernels, for that matter. So long as the bootloader is unlocked and the phone is rooted with a custom recovery, you're good to go.

For that h boot u can use revolutionary. First u need to install drivers ,make sure u check on usb debugging and unknown sources When u enter beta key make sure its entered correctly it is case sensitive from my PC36100 using xda premium
I found it worked much better just to copy the beta key and then paste it once prompted to enter it. It seems like a lot of people were getting errors trying to manually type the key in, but hey, if it works, it works

Okay, dumb question. When you entered the serial number of the phone to get the key, did you make sure you didn't use O for 0 (zero)? Not sure that could be part of the issue but worth looking at. I honestly can't think of anything else at this point. I remember when Revolutionary first came out last year, people were having a lot of issues with getting the beta key accepted. I for one didn't have this issue so I'm at a loss at this point.

If I recall correctly, there is a su binary file that you have to flash from recovery once you've run Revolutionary. It's a zip file that's in the Revolutionary guide. Running the su binary is what actually gives you root. You'll need to make sure that you have the app Superuser or SuperSU installed, as it will actually give permission for root apps (such as Titanium Backup) to operate. As far as kernels and such, look under the development section there, as there is a ton of great info there
Also, once you get rooted, I'd suggest going into Recovery and making a full Nandroid backup, especially if you plan on flashing a ROM or kernel. It'll come in handy if you get in a tight spot down the road.

I'm not sure what the problem was but I ended up updating to gb with 2.18 hboot then downgraded to android 2.2 then ran the unrevoked program then flashed a rom. Worked perfectly.
