1) I install the APK from http://www.unrevoked.com/m/
2) Run Unrevoked2 to install the custom recovery
3) Install the patched OTA update as explained here: http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.p...vo_ota_2_patch

Is this correct? Am I missing something?

Thanks in advance!

Per the update released by the shadowmite team/unrevoked this is exactly correct. Again, all this is at your own risk, but it all seems to be working. I'm not at home right now or i would have done this already. I still need to run the recovery 1st.

The update is no longer avail thru HTC do to the issues. However, team unrevoked has patched it and has it on their website. They have 1 with and without a radio update. It is for those who use unrevoked "ROOT" method. The HTC update closed the exploit unrevoked was using to get super user access. So if your using the unrevoked method then 1. get the unrevoked2 recovery img.,(if you dont already have the recovery) then run the update they released. If you have any further questions just read this entire thread.

Per the twitter account they are having wimaxx issues and they need someone who did the 1st "HTC" OTA to contact them. I'm sure they'll have it sorted soon enough.

When the update comes back up what should I do if I rooted back to stock ROM to get the OTA update...now if I don't have the unrevoked down load on my phone anymore what do I do to get back to being rooted even though I have the new update

Per unrevoked twitter account, if you use their root method, never do an HTC OTA update as it will usually break their root method. Wait for them(unrevoked) to release a patched version.However i thought I saw that they will eventually release a new root method for those you did the initial HTC update.

Right now they are working on getting their own patched update back up and running for those who have unrevoked root who DID NOT do the HTC update.

If you did the HTC OTA update, then your options are to wait for a new unrevoked root method or do a "full" or "hard" root via a different method. You might want to look into simple root over at XDA.
