I'm sorry I don't see how restoring a NAND backup has anything to do with the original topic of the thread. Actually the thread is about will the EVO be rooted again. You maybe thinking HAHAHAHA I rooted mine and I don't care. Thats great but if the OTA is so good that EVOs can't be rooted (look at the Incredible) and you break your EVO in a few months you will be SOL. EVO will start shipping with the update included you can count on that. I'm just saying.

Not to be back on topic but what do you guys think, will the EVO ever be rooted again? Of course this is all just speculation.

Well when you give free evo's to 5,000 developers a solid 2 weeks before it's released this will generally happen.

What kills me is during the keynote given by Vic Gundotra when they gave the 5000 evo's out, he talked so much about "openness"/"inovation from everyone" with Android. But then again it was Google not Sprint or HTC saying that. Now if we can get Sprint onboard with this idea, how opening up would have all the technical people flocking to them, which the general public would follow... imho

For those that did not see the keynote:
