see im WAY confused now... maybe someone posted wrong info...
i do HTC software update,,, guess what
"Your Phone is up to date"
"there are no updates available for your phone...
yea... no way in hell does it kill root... confirmed
It's because you rooted the phone. Both the Rom you flash when rooting as well as the one flipz posted based on the RUU are the original software version. Makes logical sense that once you root again the software will go back to the original version since thats what they are based on. At least we know that it works. They will more than likely just release an update zip for the patch or an all inclusive one.um i tested... OTA applied... Rooted, recovery, NAND backup... it all worked...USB debugging Enabled on plugin. Installed 64bit ADB drivers and boom!
no problem to fear the root loss
um crap... nvm apparently i didnt update...
i swear I downloaded, installed, restarted the phone to allow install... but it shows software number 1.32.651.1.
maybe because I did a factory reset? then that would mean that this update is rather a patch (ie like a cab fix)??
or did the update not apply?

lol, no what I'm saying is that you did apply the OTA but since you are still capable of flashing the root the software version is lower so thats why it shows up. The point is you proved the OTA doesn't break toast's method of root, but as is you are technically reverting to the original rom which is a lower software version. It will stay at that number unless you a. perform the OTA again or b. with root flash an update.zip that contains the patch. For good measure you can always try installing the OTA and then rooting again just to make sure!hehe i was thinking that right after i posted...
k so it must have been the OTA didnt apply right...
im telling you tho, I downloaded... installed immediately after radioshack... it rebooted the phone, went to the little green arrows showing it was updating, rebooted again... and then i got home and rooted
Word of HTC Evo 4G storage bug couldn't come at a worse time
"Update: Well, that was quick. Dre wrote in to tell us of a 13MB OTA update being pushed already, version 1.32.651.6, that looks to include a number of fixes including, apparently, a solution for this storage bug. We're hearing it also breaks the root path that dropped yesterday, but it sounds like a decent trade-off for now."

For what it's worth.. I rooted mine, installed the supersonic stock rooted ROM on here, then did the OTA upgrade.. I still have root.
