I just rooted earlier this week with unrEVOked. If I unroot and take tomorrow's OTA software update to 3.29.651.5 will I be able to root right away, or will I have to wait for a "root update"? I'm really interested in 30 fps uncapped (and I love my wireless tether).
See this xda post for information about the update:

If i root my new X and then 2.2 comes down? does it not upgrade? de root? what?
View 11 Replies View RelatedI rooted my evo a couple of weeks ago and its been pretty great, but I'm noticing an issue with my messaging app. Its only in the messaging app that the phone does this, but it wont scroll up in my messaging threads. I scroll up, it will stay there for a second, then it will jump all the way back to the bottom. I just noticed this today. It does not do this when I'm outside of message threads, nor does it do this when I'm browsing the internet.
Anyway, I was thinking maybe the root and the 1.32.653.1 rom were the problem. So I was looking to either update to the 653.6 while in root, or to undo my root and update to the 653.6 and use the unrevoked method, which seems to be doing all the things that I want my rooted phone to do (manage the overclocking settings in order to conserve battery life).
I thought one of the things the guy at Best Buy did this morning was update the phone, but it turns out that hasn't yet happened. I hear updating the phone kills the ability to root. I -just- got done downloading PC36IMG.zip, but now I wonder...should I root, or just do the update for now and wait for another way to root the phone later?

My questions:
1. Having received the official evo update (2.1?) to my phone ~2-3 weeks ago, can I still unroot my phone?
2. It seems that there are multiple avenues to unrooting the evo. Is one way superior to the others, or at least more easily performed?
3. For those who unrooted their phones already, name the three features you most enjoy now that your phone is unrooted.
4. Any regrets about unrooting your phone?
5. I understand that some people bricked their phones when they tried to update their unrooted phones. Were these phones truly rendered useless, or is there a way to reverse the process?
I just updated to the new update so im askin with this new update can i follow the root guide and have it be the exact same way

View 1 Replies View RelatedIm still slightly confused on the subject of rooting. all I want to be able to do is wifi tether on my incredible. Can you root without having a different rom? or do you have to use a new one to get the permissions for apps such as wifi tether? basically, can I get wifi tethering while still maintaining my ability to update to 2.2 when it arrives?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI rooted my phone when the root first became available using the "tricky" method...if I just want to get the OTA update directly from verizon when it becomes available, what should I do?
1) Can i get the OTA from verizon even tho I'm rooted?
2) Once the OTA is done can I root again?
Will the unrevoked root work with the update to 2.2. I do mean the over the air update that I just installed this morning. Obviously, this is a stock phone, otherwise the OTA wouldnt work.

View 11 Replies View RelatedI unrevoked my Incredible a few weeks ago, now i am getting the update nag, How do I remove my root and get the OTA?
View 15 Replies View RelatedSo I rooted my Incredible last week, played around with CM6, then ended up using my nandroid backup to restore the phone. Everything worked like normal. Yesterday I decided to use the unrevoked forever tool and update my radio to 2.15 and play around with the leaked OTA ROM. Again I restored a nandroid backup to get things back to normal. Now my phone is getting the 2.2 update from Verizon, but when I tell it to install, it starts as normal, but ends up with an error screen with the green android, and a yellow triangle with an exclamation point. From this screen if I push Power I am in ClockworkMod Recovery and able to reboot my phone. Once I reboot my phone I am still running 2.1, and System Updates tells me my phone is up to date.

View 7 Replies View RelatedSo the other day I noticed my phone said "an update is available" so I updated, while rooted. I noticed after the update that none of my rooted apps work anymore. I unrooted and re-rooted. Nothing. Help? I'm stuck with the superuser appand can't get rid of it. I tried a factory reset and it didn't work...
View 5 Replies View RelatedI was rooted with unprovoked and have not experienced a single problem since the update. I clicked on unprovoked and then checked out the tether app. It starts up fine with no problems. Wasn't the update supposed to make unprovoked not work?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI rooted my inc back in July and received the ota.I did nothing but accept the ota. It downloaded and installed with NO problems. I did loose root, but not a problem since the only thing I used root for was the led flashlight. With the new Sense, an HTC led flashlight is installed. The new OS is faster and liking it. Another nice feature is the numeric phone lock.I also gained a WiFi hotspot and 720p video.I'm sure there is a bunch more features added.I am still exploring the new OS. Overall, I'm satisfied and not really concerned I'm not a su on the phone.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI know there are a few threads like this out there but I was wondering is there still a big advantage to root your phone after you update to 2.2 ? I am new at all this and don't really understand the lingo lol. But is there a big difference from a rooted phone to a phone updated? I am thinking of doing it to my phone but I really dont know much about it and will most likely not get to far into the guts of my phone.

Sorry, I had my noob goggles on this morning and accidentally applied the OTA update after I did the baseband update so now I've lost root. I know, I know... that update file should never have been on my sd card to start with.
I did a backup with ROMmanager prior to these updates, but can't do anything with it now. Just need to root again so life can continue.
Does anybody know if you root will you still get the 2.2 update when it's released? I did root originally but decided to unroot because without 2.2 I can't do what I want anyway and I don't want to miss 2.2. Now if there were some cool custom ROM's it might be different......
