Yes forgive me for not giving credit to XDA. They are deffinatly to be included in the kudos...

Just to be clear if your phone has never been rooted and you received the latest OTA update from HTC you cannot root your device at this time.

With that said do I think that a none rooted device with the update be able to root (which is the original question)? I would say that if it takes more than 72 hours then its going to be weeks too a couple months. Will they do it? I don't think anyone can say with a 100% accuracy. My gut is telling me that they most likely will find a way, but it could take quite a while.

They will do it because they can. The devs look at a device that was once rooted, and now is not, as a challenge. And they LOVE a good challenge.

WOW!!! Droidbox39 said it clearer than anyone else on this topic. I didn't know that...I was actually ready to root my phone this weekend. Guess not.

The way some of the other posts read it was like you could still root just not with unrevokeds method, which clearly is not the case.

But I also agree rooting is not essential with this phone. I rooted for free wifi and some of the other apps that need root.

so why is toast pc36 img file coming back as main version is older when you try to root phone that have been updated?

and if you just got your phone from sprint it has the update already on it... well my friends did so hes SOL

You gotta be kidding? Are you one of these conspiracy theorist that every motive or action is subversive?

I tell you why.. it's the things they do not tell you in the update. If big issues or defects are found, companies will not likely disclose them. It makes them look bad and have consumers lose confidence in the product. They update and do not mention this. It happens all the time. IT is my living, been doing it for years.
