Yeah but you will lose root.

Yes you can, only if you have not uninstalled anything after rooting since all the stock apps (bloatware) needs to be on the phone when using ota updates.

Just wait for a rooted version of the rom to come out

Forgot to mention you will not loose root either when doing an ota. Since the whole point of ota updating is to keep root while updating

If you have an unlocked bootloader you can root easily. The only way for people with a locked bootloader to update and keep root is ota updating.

I had an evo 4g rooted and when the gingerbread update rolled out I lost all root completely and was unable to root. When I got my nexus is when root was available for gingerbread evo

Did you do your gingerbread update with ota? If i flashed 2.3.3 or 4.0.a (instead of ota) then gingerbreak would not work since it was patched but using ota allows us with the xperia play on a locked bootloader keep root should be the same for all using gingerbread? Maybe not?

I started on 2.3.2 rooted. Used ota to get to 2.3.3 and root was still kept. I have just updated today using ota to the newest update and i still have root.

Hmm idk then because it was a huge issue for evo owners if you look at threads that we who did the ota lost root. and the exploit took 3 months to figure out

This isnt the evo, its not even a HTC device. There are so many diffrences between the 2 companies. For example if we OTA update with unlocked bootloaders. We brick our phones. I had s-off on my hero, desire and DHD and didnt have any problem OTA updating.
