Unrevoked to OTA

[Phoenix111]

I have rooted with unrevoked3 and forever. Will I receive the official OTA on my phone or will I have to go back to stock to get it? Also, I never updated my radio. Since the OTA will include radio 2.15, does that mean I can load custom roms now without having to update the radio?
Appreciate any answers

From what I've read is you'll need to have the original recovery on your phone to get the OTA, not a custom recovery. But you'll need to keep S-Off (which unrevoked forever does) to be able to obtain root after the OTA.

Ok thank you, so how do I "flash" this custom recovery and where do I get it from?

after unrevoking.... did you flash one of the alternate ROM's? If not you should be good to go. If you did then you have to restore your Origional ROM backup.

Actually no I didn't. After unrevoked forever I dint do anything- no radio updates and no custom roms. So that means I can receive the OTA without flashing a recovery

Am I understanding this correctly?

When you use unrevoked 3 it flashes a custom recovery on your phone (ClockworkMod), from my understanding is the OTA will not successfully install if you have a custom recovery. To receive the OTA you would need to flash the original recovery back on your phone. Make sure your phone is S-Off before doing this!

Download the PB31IMG.zip and put that on the root of your sd card and boot into HBOOT (volume down while pressing power button) and that will flash the original recovery on your phone. You will loose root privileges while you have the original recovery, after the OTA installs you can flash a custom recovery back on your phone and get root privileges again.

My bad. My understanding was that once rooting and s-off'ing then the OTA would work if you did not modify the ROM. Did not realize clockwork might cause a problem. I'd go with VertoX7's advice.
