Is it possible to take a OTA update while rooted? I am still on the stock Rom. And if so, will it unroot me?

Nope I believe that is one of the benefits of s-off

Wrong!
You can take the update, it will unroot you, AND if the new update includes a new HBOOT it will flash over and give you a security warning and/or S-ON.
your best bet is to wait a few hours and someone will make a rooted version of the new ota... but chances are we will have the ota update weeks before it is ever pushed to any non rooted phones... at the moment .6 is stock.. and all the roms are .9 so all I"m waiting on is a new radio update to hopefully fix this wacky 3g signal I get

What he Said but I Think you have to be Rooted Running stock kernel/Rom for it to even take the OTA

If it detects you are a lower version then the OTA it will still attempt to upgrade.
Ok. From what I understand, the OTA won't automatically install if I am rooted. Which is good. But if I wanted to I could force the OTA to install?
But from what some people in this thread say, it's not worth it, and I could just get a unrooted version of the OTA from here at some point?
Is that all correct?
I am only interested because I heard there was a big OTA coming on the 16th, and I expect that it will fix a bunch of random stuff on the TB. So I'd like to get it.
I'm pretty sure you need to have stock recovery installed to install the OTA. If using CWM it will not install.
Wow this is interesting...i flashed a new radio yesterday is this the new ota update.
jcase said he thinks the leaked ruu is supposed to be the first OTA.
can this update be done if you are rooted and unlock?
It is always recommended to not accept any ota updates once rooted as you may lose root and the ability to root in the future. The dev's will post a stock rooted updated rom within a day or two. I would wait and flash that.
I'm sure you could, but give the devs time they will work this into an update fairly quickly I"m sure. you never know what OTA is going to break root or worse.
I wouldn't take the OTA. be patient

Thanks I appreciate the quick response.
I have root with the stock ROM, and I am using RootKeeper. Has anyone verified that you can apply the OTA update and restore root with RootKeeper?

Take the advises from above and wait. I'm also waiting a little longer before flashing a ROM. If you want the fixes from this update just download MEAN ROM and install it, it already has most of this fixes incorporate. The most important feature for me is tethering and I already got it.

Anyone know if it removes s-off?
I'm half rooted not unlock can I take it i don't mind if I loose it

General rule of thumb is to never accept OTAs if you plan on being or are rooted. If you have s-off that should be safe though, far as I know the only way to lose it is to manually turn it back on.

There is a new hboot included in this ota so i would be very careful even if s-off.

Dang njfoses. xHausx's comment was going to give me confidence enough to update and then you go and throw some doubt back in my mind. Oh well.
Did anyone take the system update? If so is it safe if rooted or will it brake root? T/u
You never accept OTA updates if you are rooted. This breaks every root method available except HTC DEV
This update has been out for quite a while.
System update? Hmmmm

Ok i was at work and got and msg 2 half circles with a down arrow in the center in the top left corner. I pull screen down and it says system update. I googled it and seen a entry with todays date but nothing else so I figured I would check here...
1.15
I think that is the build fresh is bolt off of.
Custom ROMS have already been based off of this newest OTA.
Yep...I'm running one of the builds (MeanRom 2.0) and I have the updated Firmware, radios, etc. but I'm still getting that damn message...

If u are rooted do not take the update. Just flash a Rom that is based off that update..
I wasn't aware there was an update out today. Did it just appear or is this from the old update from a couple weeks ago

I was wondering if any experienced DEV or anyone with correct information can tell us what we will need in order to receive an OTA update (be it tomorrow or whenever) if we are S-OFF? Please verify which ROM,RADIO,HBOOT,etc.. we need to be on in order to receive the update. Thanks to whomever can assist.

Devs will get the update and put out a new ROM. Someone will pull the new HBOOT out of the update package and you'll flash in the bootloader.
Just like before.
Thread moved to Q&A.
If you want to stay rooted don't ever accept OTAs. Wait till someone posts a rooted version instead.
Thanks guys. Also, will a new hboot be required to flash a rooted jb sense rom.?
dont take the OTA
wait a couple days for the files to be dumped then we will make roms for it
i know i will be porting my rom to this goodness

Hboot is the only piece you don't want. What I did last time was download the pcimg file that contained latest firmware, radio, pri, prl, etc...
Make sure it dosen't contain kernel, hboot, or recovery.
Flash the new radios by booting into boot loader, then wait a day or two until ur favorite rom maker has updated their rom. Then flash that with recovery

For the love of god DON'T TAKE THE OTA. Just wait a couple of hours and a dev will have a firmware and rooted stock Rom to update your phone to the latest and greatest. You waited this long whats a couple of hours.

Not entirely true, you can lose soff but root is easily achievable. HTC allows the bootloader to be unlocked for development purposes. You would still be able to unlock and flash recovery. From there you can flash a Rom and then kernel in fastboot

If you aren't s-off, the only way to update the radio is to take the ota. There has been an s-off method that's easy to use now for awhile and if you haven't used it yet than you might as well take the ota since s-off must not be important to them.

Appears a new OTA update is going out today, locks down a previous root exploit and few other things.
(Make sure you S-OFF your device first before taking this unless you risk being locked down for good!)

If anyone on a rooted device can capture this OTA file from /cache directory after you download it would be much appreciated.

I'm running Santod's stock ROM, I think it blocks the OTA from even downloading, right? Any way I can get it? I'd love a new stock ROM to try out.

My stock full odex rom will accept OTA's.
You just need the stock recovery installed for it to work.
But it's not rolling out yet where I am at least.
Once it does, I will post the firmware and a full rooted stock rom.
Anyone who is not already s-off and plans to gain s-off, should avoid the update until after they have gained s-off and unlocked.
I'm checking regularly, so will have it up just as soon as I get it and package it up.
I will post the OTApkg.zip as well...

Oh good, I was just looking yesterday, trying to figure out which was the newest version of stock because CM11 apparently doesn't support HDMI out.
Although, if anyone has a favorite sense-based ROM and can confirm HDMI out works on it, I might be persuaded to try that instead.
Anybody get the update through HTC Sync Manager yet? I don't have Verizon so I can't get the OTA.
