Default [Q] from 2.1 to 2.2.2 stock, some yes/no questions

I currently have aria with 2.1 stock and I've rooted it using unrevoked.
phone details:
Liberty PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT 0.57.0000
radio 7.00.35.06

questions:
if I install the 2.2.2 update from HTC site, will it erase the "rooting"?

if yes, will I need to run alpharev after it for rooting?

thx and thx.

but it seems that the update from HTC site doesn't work on a rooted phone? maybe because of the clockworkmod recovery?

The 2.2.2 update gets rid of everything and changes the hboot. Then you need to do the alpharev thing.

It will work without any problem on a "rooted" phone. If you're having trouble, try toggling the "USB debugging" option in your ROM. If that doesn't help, try running the RUU while the phone is on the FASTBOOT screen.

using fastboot solved the problem.

I also coming to understand that using linux for any update is much more convenient.
