Assume its regarding my post. Sorry, I just don't know if I'm supposed to clean up one root/SU app before installing an OTA and rooting another way.
No it wasn't you, it was about HTC.
This is what I did with no issues.
I am rooted with stock recovery and unlocked with s-on.
I applied the OTA with no issues and used Root Keeper to regain root.
I am not telling everyone to try this but it worked for me. I have been rooting my phones for five years now.

How can I revert back to before yesterday's OTA?
Or am I totally screwed? I only want root to be able to backup my apps/data with Titanium.
What was your configuration before you took the OTA? I'm assuming rooted/locked/stock recovery since it installed. In that case, you're pretty much screwed until someone develops a new root method, or until someone way smarter than me figures out how to crack the new bootloader so you can revert.
The previous build was rooted fairly quickly, so I don't think it will be long (famous last words....).
I was rooted with zedomax, locked, and a stock recovery. Live and learn. I just want root to backup/restore apps/data with Titanium and WiFi Tether.
I am rooted the same way, but I cannot get the update to start . It takes me to the recovery boot screen.
How did you get the update? Also, did you get the update without having to lose settings?
How did you unroot? I cannot get the update to run.I tried to use OTA RootKeeper and unrooted. Then, downloaded/installed the update and everything went fine. Did not lose any setttings/apps/data. Wish I would have waited.

I used the method from HTCevohacks.com. It was a one click batch file to run that they created. Unfortunately it gets permission denied after updating. I also tied rerunning the RUU but alas, that fails also. I guess I am stuck waiting for an updated method.
In the mean time though, what root keeper is everyone using? I tried running Voodoo OTA Root Keeper and did not have good results as you can see.
Why did you wish you waited?
You can now go back into Root Keeper and reroot as long as you did the root backup. That's what I did.

How did you unroot, and did you lose settings by doing so?I used OTA rootkeeper and I lost root as well. I unrooted before applkying the update which may have been where I went wrong. I did a backup first of course, but now when I run rootkeeper it just hangs and does nothing.
