From my experience, the OTA won't take. You will have to wait for someone to slip out the RUU (often leaks out first), install it and then you may or may not loose root. You will still be S-Off and restoring root should only be a few clicks away. Ofcourse, we can never predict what comes in the next upgrade. Maybe they will come out with a version that makes it brutally hard to root again. (a deeply dependent daemon that senses you have rooted and contacts Sprint and signs you up for HotSpot)


I have never had an OTA install on a rooted phone.
