No, you do not, but in order for you to keep your root for the update, you'll have to run the updated script found here
Just make sure you follow the directions and you'll be fine.

I have a Fascinate that's only rooted, no other updates done to it. Will the OTA install or does it have to be unrooted first?
you can always try it and find out but I am actually not sure, just try to ota and tell us what happens!

You will loose root but easy to fix
Sideloading is already build in the new update so don't need any mod
Hotpot will break but is easy to fix

Thank you. I updated and all is good. I need to root so I can use hotspot. Is there more than one method to root? What should I use?

Has anyone found a way to root a thunderbolt with version 1.70.605.0?
I believe the manual method still works on that. Haven't seen anything different.
Yes it does. I waited on it hen rooted.

I'm in the middle of rooting mine after just now taking the OTA. If the downgrade flash takes, I'm all good.
*EDIT* Downgrade took, next is copying the eng bootloader
works like a charm
Lol what's the manual method? I'm new to all this stuff.

Without the unlocked bootloader all you get it temp root. So, unless you want to do an ADB temp root on your device while running pre-release firmware, you're kinda outta luck on that front. Do you have an issue with unlocking the bootloader we should be aware of?
I was wondering if anyone knows if i can keep root after taking the ics ota. Ive tried root keeper but when i update my phone just reboots like normal? Can someone help or at least shed some light on how to even update using the ota without root? Thanks!

The usual wisdom is to never take ota if you are rooted. Why not just flash a stock, rooted Rom?

I could but thats not what i was asking...

The reason I suggested that is because you will lose root if you take the ota and will have to unlock using HTC dev, then flash a custom recovery, then install super user again. My suggestion is easier.

Hi I got the DNA about a month ago and I love it but I really want to root it and install the m7 Rom. I've done a little research and know my firmware needs to be 1.x.x.x but I have the newest version. How do I downgrade and what's the easiest way to root? Thanks for the assistance
You can not root your phone at this point in time. Aside from sending it to someone to open it up and s off through jtag.
