They already posted that it does break it. I wish they wouldn't post "midnight" when it is past midnight in every market that the EVO has been released in.
Well going by the latest tweets, to me it seems that it is suggested that you do not do the OTA, because the latest tweet states "checking this OTA to make sure things are still OK" unless there has been a recent development that confirms that the OTA will kill this or all Root methods, right?

That's what I said. It's suspected that the OTA will break it, so don't do it. That's why they've delayed the release of their method because they are still playing with it.

The unrevoked hack was released in the hero thread. not sure if it will work on the evo but if you read the thread, after running the unrevoked script it displays

Code:
 # sh /sdcard/unrevoked
          sh /sdcard/unrevoked
          Unpacking, please wait...

I just ran the shell script they included in that thread. I now have root on my EVO, and I didn't have to flash the data partition first.

Code:
adb push ~/Downloads/hero-root/unrevoked /sdcard/unrevoked
adb shell
cd /sdcard
sh unrevoked

i would really like to know if this OTA update breaks the unrevoked root or not? can someone please confirm or deny or should i just do it myself and report the findings?
