Re: Update PRL, then you lose Root!

It then reboots the EVO. I tried to run the Wi-Fi Tether and it says it requires a rooted phone!!! I had it rooted with Un-Revoked previously.. and it is "Sticky" on all power offs and reboots.. EXCEPT, if you do a PRL update...

Now, all I had to do was go into file manager and then to my download directory and install un-revoked again, and all is well.

Anybody else have this?

I will go and do a Toast's and then load custom rom, but seriously at the moment, I don't see much of a reason to do that until a Froyo (2.2) rom comes out.

Stock, Rooted, free Wi-Fi tether.. life is good!
Really? I was originally rooted with unrevoked and used the same PRL trick you did, after finding it unnecessary I update my PRL back to stock and I didn't loose my root.
