So, I'm going to do my best to make it abundantly clear.

IF YOU DO THE FROYO OTA, YOU WILL LOSE ROOT ACCESS FOREVER!

Because it hasn't been released/leaked yet, there is no way of telling how hard it will be to crack it. They may be able to bypass whatever Sprint/HTC does and gain root access again, but it's not guaranteed.

Your best bet, if you want to keep root access is to wait. Usually a day or two after the update, the devs release a rooted version of the same rom. Last OTA took about 16hrs to be released as a rooted version. This one won't take long either.
If you decide to do the OTA because it's such an "amazing opportunity to run the Official FROYO release and I couldn't help myself," don't go crying in the rooting thread later that you want to use Wifi tethering and can't.

On that note, this is still great news. Thanks OP. I look forward to running the rooted version of this sometime next week.:mrgreen:

Well it looks like that $10 fee might be for timely upgrades too! Who would have thought that Sprint would be the first phone after Google's own.

That's what I would like to know, NONE of these threads were on the first page when I submitted this. Even the suggestion threads didn't display while naming the thread.

HTC Evo 4G Getting Android 2.2 FroYo on August 3
Today, 6:48 PM by Philip Berne

Sprint has announced that its first WiMAX handset, the HTC Evo 4G, will also be the first carrier offering to push Android 2.2, or FroYo, to owners. Starting next Tuesday, August 3, Evo 4G owners will begin to receive the over-the-air update. Android 2.2 offers numerous performance improvements, including improved Web browsinng with Flash 10.1 support. The update will also let users voice dial over Bluetooth and install certain applications on the phone's external memory, instead of using the smaller internal memory storage. Sprint also says users can update manually by navigating to the Settings > System Updates menu on their devices.
