I just got the official OTA upgrade from unrooted 3.2.1 to 4.0.3. (Acer_AV041_A100_1.014.00_WW_GEN1)
Has anyone tried to apply the old rooting procedures to this new OS?
You should be able to use ZeroNulls method in the development thread. It works for all the ICS versions. Including the .14 leak and OTA which are the same exact.
Also next time download OTA rootkeeper app and protect root before you update and you can restore root after OTA. This only work if you OTA though. If you flash through recovery then you def have to use Zeronull. But this is the surest way to maintain root if for some reason the OTA is unrootable with adb method.

So I'm rooted, and I'm flashed with a stock rom that allows me to remove Sprint's crappy apps. Would it do me any harm to update the OTA updates from Sprint?
HTC System Update 1.32.651.6
which rom did you use dude?
The ROM I used was http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=699847 I believe. Or you can just follow this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=701004
OTA will likely remove root, so don't update via OTA if you want to keep root. Wait for someone like joeykrim to release the stock rooted ROM.
When you rooted you didn't use the updated rom? There is a 1.32.651.6 rooted rom iirc
If you followed theBiles' instructions, just flash this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=697636
It is the rooted updated ROM. I don't think you will need to wipe anything.
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
Rooted using Team Epic's method running the stock rom. I have Titanium Backup as well as Voodoo OTA RootKeeper installed. I have a couple of questions regarding post-rooting updates
If I freeze the AT&T Software Update V3_1205_2_2, will it prevent the OTA updates?
If not, how do I prevent the OTA update from downloading or from bricking my phone?
If I temp unroot it with Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper and then update, will my root still exist?
What are the methods to update the stock ROM if I am rooted?
Thank you for help in advance.

I believe freezing AT&T Software Update will prevent OTA updates.
I heard a report that OTA Rootkeeper did preserve root for the LG1 OTA update, but I don't know exactly what you have to do to make that work. I don't think you have to temp unroot first.
Here are the methods to update the stock ROM now that you're rooted:
Use OTA Rootkeeper and accept the OTA.
Flash a complete root-injected UCALG1 ROM through Odin.
Flash the CWM-flashable OTA update through your CWM recovery.
When this comes out is there a way for me to update ota even with having root?
You can update OTA if you have stock recovery. You'd use Root Keeper before performing the update and then use Root Keeper to restore root after the update.
There's a thread here linking to the stock OS rooted, which includes the stock recovery. Use Odin to put that on the phone and you're good to go.
ota root keeper doesn't work with supersu?
Once I root I can't ever get update from att again right?
That is not correct. If you are simply stock rooted you can still receive ota updates, but will loose root if you don't use voodoo ota root keeper. If you have a custom recovery installed, the ota won't upgrade successfully. Most (all i can think of) custom roms have ota updates disabled. I do not know if this information applies to KIES updates, as i don't usually use it for updates.
