Anyone get an email saying an ota is available today? Got it for my EVO and 3d. Of course, I'm not gonna do it, just saying look out for it.

It's probably just that security update that came out a few days ago. It basically removes the carrier spyware and patches some holes. Nothing bad.
Is this ota ok to take if we're stock and rooted via htc method?

It probably says whether or not it is in one of the other threads about it
don't take the update. if you are running a custom rom you have no reason to remove ciq because it is probably already gone.
also, the update patches all known exploits to root the device... so if you are stock, and you are are not rooted, you might screw yourself.

Actually, the previous update with the 1.50 hboot patched all known exploits. This OTA doesn't update the hboot, so if you did the HTC unlock method because of your 1.50 hboot, you should be fine installing this. Granted, it might make some OTHER change to patch a future possibility, but that can't be guaranteed.
Shame on htc....

I was just wondering that if I did the OTA, someone said you could use the RUU in the development section. I was thinking that it couldn't downgrade the bootloader too though right? Since its been updated to a newer version?

nope it throws an error complaining about the bootloader version.
Yeah currently there isn't any way (that I know of) to downgrade the hboot from 1.40.
Well this blows...I have been noticing some bugs that are probably fixed with the OTAs...but I don't want to be screwed if the Devs figure out a way using the hboot 1.3. I know two others who have the OG Evo and the lady updated it in the store. They're screwed. Have been for 3 weeks already ssince the hboot ia secured and there's no exploit available. so I just don't want to take the chance that they did with updating the hboot.

Brings Android 2.3.4, breaks any root exploits out there, new availability to unlock bootloader (although one person who tried having problems trying to flash custom recovery with unlock, also unlock doesn't give S-OFF), new radio, new pri, and a whole lot more. I suggest not taking the OTA and doing the revolutionary.io S-OFF method and then flashing one of the new 2.3.4 rooted ROMs in the Development section.
It has the updated version of Swype, which was the reason I upgraded.

<Warning> People on Evo 3D getting the new OTA: do not update yet, unless you've already ran Revolutionary to S-OFF.
Yezzir, just saw that
(I am Un-Rooted, But I want to root today!) Am I reading this correctly? do NOT update with the OTA (8/18/2011) update, UNLESS I am already rooted?
So if I root today is it safe to update with that OTA update that came out today *8/18/2011?
I think the update does patch the current root method.
Plus for piece of mind don't ever accept OTA updates from sprint or HTC if you like your root and s-off.
I don't know why some people insist on running a update knowing in the back of their mind they'll possibly/probably loose root, and who knows for how long. Just wait a day or two for the devs to implement it in their ROMs.
You can still take the update because HTC just released the bootloader unlocked method for the HTC EVO 3d.

HTC unlocker = clusterfuck
Revolution = the correct way.
yea not understanding htc way ... unlocked bootloader but you still have s-on ?
Nobody even knows how HTC's unlock even works. There are Sensation users with S-Off and they used HTC's method. Unfortunately, there's about 10 posts like those above to 1 post of actual information about it.
Its looks like its a partial unlock.
I'm sticking with revolutionary, I have root, everything is working awesome, n I didn't lose my warranty
So your saying since I have s-off with revolutionary, I can take the update and still have s-off? Also will this update break root?

If you take the ota through system updates and if you have a custom ROM and recovery it will not allow you to update. It will give you an error message. If you decide to lose the custom recovery and go forward with the ota it will lock your phone with S-on and you will have no way going back to 2.3.3. You will be stuck with lastest ota 2.3.4 with S-on and no root. Then if you decide after that you can't get back to 2.3.3 and think since you can't go back might as well go forward with HTC's bootloader unlock method. It will unlock the bootloader but you still will have S-on and noway of flashing a custom recovery which means no root. If your dying for this update check out the dev section and I believe you can update the prl, kernel, firmware mins the hboot. Check it out. If it was me I would wait for revolutionary or a team that knows what they are doing to release an rooted ota.

Has anyone tried to root their phone after installing this update? Is there an equivalent update for rooted phones?
I read in another thread that someone tried and revolutionary does NOT work (yet) with Hboot 1.50.

No it won't work yet.
Yes there are equivalent updates for rooted phones. Check the first couple pages in the dev section and you should find them.

They also said themselves not to take the update. At least that is what I remember seeing.
Still don't understand why ppl are using htcs unlock. Alpharevs way is easy, n doesn't void warranty. From what I've read its tough to install a recovery and basically screws you.

Well from the legal standing alpharevs does void warranty just harder to tell. Another reason to figure this out is soon all new evo 3ds sold will already have the hboot 1.50. Most be something otherwise it would be lame as hell to have htc unlock a bootloader that does nothing.

Htc's method needs to stop being compared to rev's method... Htc only unlocked it. Meaning that the devs will still need to come up with the method for the rest. (s-off and the rest) think of it like the old evo unlocked but still needed dev work for soff and recovery...

Chances are the tool needs to be updated to work with the new OTA>
Same thing had to be done for the last OTA
I rooted with it when I updated via OTA so it does work

I thought about doing that, but did you have to register with HTC? I'd like to avoid doing that.
Just go to HTC dev and unlock. That's what his tool uses anyway. You aren't getting around that till a new s-off is developed.
Right, but his tool does not register your phone in particular with HTC. It's anonymous.

That is not true, it pulls the device Id from the phone, that is the only way it gets unlock bin...

I thought I had read that he figured out how to do it in anonymously, but maybe not.
