Did some searching but couldn't find anything on this...
I'm rooted with stock ROM and CWM touch recovery. Trying to figure out here how to install the OTA and keep root. Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks!
I think this thread may help you.

Is it possible to reload the stock OS, but keep Root?
On xda-developers website they have the Easy Root tutorial that does just what your asking.
Im keeping mine stock with root as well, I love Sense so I see no reason to change.

You will be rooted and already be on the stock release. Thats what im on now.
Im not sure about the one click methods..
thanks for the reply guys... I rooted, and installed a ROM. I dig the ROM, but wanted to go back to stock ROM to do some tweaks (or attempt at least, lol) myself and see how I do.
If I am not mistaken a RUU will remove root, right? Just wondering if there is a
PG05IMG.zip that is stock, but won't remove root...

Did you make a backup after you gained root but before you installed the rom? If so just nand back to that and you will have stock root. If not I would suggest remove root and redoing it so you can make a backup, then go from there.

Isn't the RUU in that thread a downgrade? I understand that must be flashed to gain root?, my question is after root can I flash back to the latest RUU and keep root??
If not what is missing from the RUU in that thread vs. the latest RUU?

it is stock and rooted and deodexed(for easy modding if you want in the future) comes in bloat free or bloat(and remove what you want)
flash it in clockwork recovery, this is what i use.
Cool...This i am going to try out. :-D Thanks!

It downgrades to get the phone rooted but when you put the final zip for it to update, it updates to the stock release with root. Im running the .06 version and did nothing but root it.

I see it is your first post, but this can be found pretty easily.. this post by glacierguy really links to EVERYTHING you need to know to do ANYTHING you need with ICS. Use that to figure out what you're doing and make sure you search extensively before posting
Don't want you to get flamed, and likely the mod is going to lock this anyways..
EDIT: and so you can't reply saying you couldn't find the link to superuser, one of the links in the link above would take you here where you can get the superuser flashable - you could/should hit these guys thanks buttons for trying to make the answers easy to find
Yeah its as simple as flashing a custom recovery and superuser. Root works same way as it did on GB. In that link to my post given above by SBD, there is also a link to a busybox installer app as well. If you stay on stock ics Rom, you will need to manually install busybox. Most custom roms come with busybox included.

Hello,
I have an EVO design 4g, stock 2.3.4 ROM, rooted, and s-off. I just downloaded the OTA ICS ROM and want to know how to modify the zip to be cwm flashable, without overwriting my recovery or hboot. Can somebody point me in the right direction? My googling has yielded me no help.
Thanks in Advance,

Hey guys, I know I'm probably in the wrong section, but I couldn't find the answer anywhere else. I flashed back to stock ROM so that I can accept the latest OTA (Since 4G LTE is now in my area and I want to update the radio) but when I go to install the OTA, it brings me to TWRP instead of the Stock Android Recovery. Could someone please point me in the right direction as to how to revert back to the Stock Recovery so that I can proceed with installing this OTA?
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thank you!!

It most definitely is, I just need to flash the stock recovery.
Edit: Can I do this without running RUU?
Ok guys,
I just upgraded to JB from ICS. I had Voodoo installed, but for some reason I could not restore root. I have unlocked my bootloader, and was going to flash a custom recovery, but then I started reading about backing up stuff with nvflash, but that doesn't seem to work with JB?
What steps do I need to take to flash a custom rom? I want to be able to nvflash back to a safe setup if something goes wrong.
Any help is appreciated!
Bump, guys please help. I just want to be able to backup all the necessary files using nvflash before I do anything. Is this possible?

Your snookered for now im afraid matey, you can only access NVFlash on the older bootloader and as you've upgraded to JB, you have flashed an unhackable bootloader.
As of now there isnt a way to downgrade and no one is sure thy will find a way to hack the newer bootloader.
