I have a Samsung Fascinate that I rooted but i have not removed anything. All i have done is used the free version of titanium back up and backed up everything that i could. I want to unroot it but When 2.2 comes out would it wipe the root out anyways? and since i havnt moved or deleted anything will it just automatically install with no problems? thanks for the help...

If all you have done is root and have not moved anything around then you should be fine to install the OTA when it comes out, and yes it would wipe root.
Even if your rooted and have moved stuff around, when 2.2 drops if we can't get the OTA, someone will make a flashable ver. So we'll still get it

I recently received an ota update (not sure what it updated) and I had to move my system files I put on the SD card back to their origional location for it to work. Once I was updated I had to root again to be able to move them back. This is why I just moved files like the vz bloatware to a junk folder instead of deleting or renaming them. Made going back to stop as simple as copy/paste.

I just picked up a Fascinate today. I thought about rooting to just get rid of Bing and VZ Nav and other misc bloat I will never use. If I did that, would I be able to receive and install future OTAs? If not, what is the simplest way to go back to stock?
Well if you rooted your phone and got rid of bing and the rest of the bloatware, you wouldn't be able to receive OTA's. And if your not planning on playing around more than just de-bloating your phone all you should have to do is move all the files back to the way they were and un-root. Then you should be able to get the OTA that way and then just re-root your phone to my knowledge.
But if you really dont feel like un-rooting your phone there should be a flashable version of 2.2 either before the OTA or shortly after i would think. And you could just get it that way.
Thanks for the info. I will have to decide on what to do.Well if you rooted your phone and got rid of bing and the rest of the bloatware, you wouldn't be able to receive OTA's.

This may be a dumb question, but when someone gets a flashable version of 2.2, would we still have to unroot? It seems like we wouldn't have to in that case.
I don't think we'll have to...we can prolly just flash it through CWM. But I'm not 100%.

You shouldn't have to unroot, but after the update you would no longer be rooted. Least that's how it was after I received an OTA update a few days ago.
