Re: How to install 3.29.651.5 OTA and be rooted *stock rom*

I found this video and am wondering if rooting is really this simple. Also will it work on the new OTA? Sorry for the noob questions.

I did get -off when i did unrevoked3, my problem is that when i try to go and upgrade from the unrevoked3 2.2 android rooted 3.26 build to the latest froyo 2.2 rooted 3.29 build, i have to run ruu for the upgrade and by doing so it returns the phone to -on. and there is the problem. ;'('''

I made a thread on how to easily root, but it was deleted by one of the mods. Here is a link that will guide you step by step as well as give you some good pointers. Just follow the directions and I guarantee you will be rooted without any issues. Please, for your sanity's sake make a Nandroid backup before flashing anything custom. This way you can easily go back to what you were running. The guide even gives you the steps to doing a nandroid backup. Howto: Root the HTC Droid Incredible - Technology - Jonamerica.com

The other way around. Flash the Ota (which will unroot your phone) then reroot with 3.21. Takes about 4 mins.

Re: How to install 3.29.651.5 OTA and be rooted *stock rom*

I'm running a different ROM on my EVO but am trying to help a family member with theirs. We rooted their phone with the Unrevoked software and they are running a rooted stock ROM (version prior to this update).

Can they perform the steps mentioned and keep all of their existing data without having to do a Titanium backup? I read through all of the posts but it still wasn't clear to me. Thank you for your help!

SO Boo Boo...It the above assumption correct? From a stock EVO with the latest OTA, will this root the phone?
