Hey guys is few rooting methods, but i notice that it says if your already rooted do not take the new update. Well i'm not rooted and i'm on the new OTA update, is it still rootable? is there a new root method for the new S/W?
thanks
The root method is the same for all versions, so yes, it can be rooted.

I'm looking to root my phone later. Is it safe to apply the OTA update that they will push us to do on the 23rd?
Do not accept OTAs.
Always. No exceptions.
Live by this rule and you will have the best chance at getting root and no chance of losing. Period.

I would always wait to see if the dev's post that its safe to. I updated my EVo when it first came out and never could get root after that. Now that i have the EVO3d and root. I never updated untill i got the update from a dev.
So i would say no.
+ 10000! The hboot 1.50 that comes with the OTA closes the exploit that was used to gain root.
Why not root now and just flash the stock ROM with the updates included? On this last update, Devs had it ready to flash for root users (minus the hboot) before I even got notification of the update on my phone.

As someone else mentioned root now and then flash a rooted version of the OTA. OR if you update now without root you can always root via HTC method later. Either way you root itll void your warranty.
Don NOT ACCEPT any OTA UNLESS you have S-Off.
with S-Off you can still save yourself if you flash an OTA, i would S-off and Root your device now then apply the ODEX 2.3.4 that's already been posted in the forum.
Their is no guarantee that 2.3.4 will be rooted soon

rooting with the HTC method doesn't give you S-Off right now

No, but you will lose root after you update

You should see it when it comes. Your root will probably go away though. I just flashed all the way back to .171 and did the update to .181 (no root) manually just in case people who are rooted have issues with the OTA then itll be one less thing to worry about it.

I saw somewhere that root was already achieved for the OTA so that's no problem, thank guys.
You should unroot and then use this in order to get root again.
Is there a way to unroot without wiping?
Anyone have any suggestions can get root with new ota.

If you are htc dev unlocked and have twrp you should be able to flash supersu to regain root.
A little more info would help. Are you currently rooted? Do you have s-off?
I have already rooted using RagawMod. My question is if I update software to 1.22.651.3 will it mess up root access or should I unroot then update software and re-root?
Thanks in adfvance for any help
If you do the ota update Yes it'll mess up root. Why not flash a custom rom that's based on the new update?
NEVER unroot in order to take an OTA.
Also, get full S-OFF while you still can.
In order to upgrade now that you are rooted, you flash a custom ROM. Thats it. Don't take the OTA, don't unroot.
RE-root
The reason I asked is I just saw the have a new root for the new OTA 1.22.651.3. Was not sure if the new OTA fixed some of the bugs with the LTE?

What root are you referring to? All I'm aware of is HTC dev, and thats not what you want to use. Get full S-OFF while you can
Flashing a ROM that's based on the new OTA will give you all of the fixes of the OTA without screwing up your device.

What are the pro's to updating? I just got my EVO a couple days ago and its on 1.13.651.1 71ORD. I won't be getting any OTA's because I plan on rooting and getting full s-off. I still need to read the forums a little more before I do any of that. I've never flashed ROMs before so if that is the only way to update then I might hold off on that for now, unless there are some good reasons why I need to do it.

I am a new user here, but I am already rooted with 1.22.651.3. I completely regret OTA'ing simply because I find it confusing how to achieve S-Off while having this updated version. I've been exploring the developer section and I have really fallen in love with MeanROM, but I cannot get it as my phone does not have S-Off.

Still not sure why I would want the update after I root and get s-off. All I really want to do at the moment is root so I can delete all the sprint garbage and get rid of sense. I know doing the OTA is a no-no, but is there anything I should think about doing after I root? Can anyone recommend the best way to go about that? I'm basically a new, but I want to make sure I have the ability to mess with my phone down the road.

You cannot get S-OFF if you took the OTA. Simple as that.
You can still flash ROMS though
Yep i still have s-off after taking the OTA it is just my hboot is different
with the at&t version of the htc one getting the 4.3 update today..im guessing it will be a bad idea doing the ota update if you still want root and unlock bootlaoder? im currently on stock no root 4.1.2 right now. i was thinking of rooting and unlocking my bootlaoder..

Neither should be a problem after accepting the ota, rooted leaks have been out for a while, and I doubt that anything updated from the ota interferes with the unlocking process.
