Am i stuck never using the rom manager????? please let me know
I never ran unrevoked but I'm reading and reading....if I understand the process correctly once you uninstall unrevoked and reboot you are no longer rooted. So you would have to do the root method as outlined at the start of this thread.
The Evo has created a bumper crop of Droid n00bs so what we learned yesterday may not hold up today....
Like you said-I obtained root via toasts method from the .6 OTA, I did not downgrade. As per toast you *should not* have to downgrade. Does rooting and unrooting with unrevoked change that? I honestly don't know.
You do need to be rooted to use the ROM Manager, of that I am sure.
So IMO I'd just go ahead and root via toasts method. If it doesnt go then you would need to downgrade but you *should* be fine.
My post is two-fold-to help you out and to have anyone correct me if I'm wrong-I'm still learning and don't want to steer you wrong.
I wouldn't be offended if you waited for FastRX8 to chime in.
Good luck.

EDIT:btw ROM Manager is up to v1.8.8.6 so if your not on that version go to the Market and grab it.
