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.

maybe you need to delete all your files and re download them. but your doing something wrong if you run unrevoked and it stays -on. talk to them

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

once you are -off the phone stays -off

i have run the ruu numerous times and it will not switch it to -on only unrevoked will do that

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

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!

as long as they are -off and havent removed any apps from the os it should update than you have to reinstal clockwork and superuser

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