Generally no, unless you run into issues with the update and you need to flash it from scratch.

I am trying to apply to OTA update I got today, but for some reason it crashes half way through un-packaging the installer. Is this because I am rooted? Anyone else having an issue with the update?

What are you using to try to update? You are going to lose root if this is an OTA update.

It just came up on my phone and asked if I wanted to download it. I did, and it ask if I wanted to install. I clicked yes. It rebooted, got 1/4 of the way done with unpacking and froze up. I am guessing that its conflicting with the rooting. So I can't install any updates or I will lose root?
I don't think this update does much to anything I use.

It was mainly radios and and pri update with new software update. And yes you will lose root. You can just install a rom that is based off this ota if you really want it.

I want swype, mainly. I tried to install it from their website, but it says it can't install because its available OTA for EVO.

Then you can just download a rom that has it included and then pull the apk from the rom.
You NEVER want to take an OTA from Sprint if you are rooted. It will cause complications like that which may cause you to have a corrupted ROM. Always update to a ROOTED OTA. Check my stickied post in Q+A at the top. You will find the link to the stock ROOTED 3.70.651.5 version you can update along with any PRI and Radios.

Hello, I have a question concerning OTA updates. Should I perform a recovery before installing the OTA Update? Is my data wiped during the process? And do I need to flash a new boot.img?

But having a recent nandroid backup could be usefull.
Does OTA updating work while bootloader is unlocked? Or does it not work only when rooted/custom recovery?

Having an unlocked bootloader does not interfere with accepting an ota, root, exposed , TWRP recovery and any other alteration will cause the ota to fail.

You have to reflash stock. Root and TWRP will cause OTA updates to fail.

Why would you take a chance and end up hard bricked? I gotta bang my head against the wall as you already have TWRP installed and you can flash my nougat stock 7.1.1 rom which has the July 1st security update.

You can upgrade with root no problem. You have to reroot

AFIK this is not a full firmware update.
It's a small incremental OTA update, it will fail to update a rooted firmware.

Correct, it won't update. Although I have twrp installed and not stock recovery so I don't know if that causes more issues. I didn't pull the stock recovery before flashing either so can't test with that.

Mine was rooted on 6.0 the 6.1 ota failed on twrp but the 6.2 upgraded fine via twrp lost root and twrp after

So with the 6.2 update can it still be rooted? All the guides I have read are for 6.0 but nothing is said about 6.2

Yeah I just reflashed the magisk zip in twrp no problem.
I think I know the answer to this already but I'll ask anyway. If I flashed a custom ROM. Would it be possible at all to then go back to complete stock at some point and continue to get OTA updates once back?
Yes it is possible

Not what I thought lol Thanks for the answer.
Yes it is
Cusrom is like when you bored with stock rom, and you can easily back to stock rom also

You have a stock phone. Even if you flash an old rom, after a reboot you will get a ota.
