Root Does Unrevoked work with the latest OTA update?

[82ndCowboy]

I looked on UR's site and didn't see any dates on their change logs.
I am getting querky little things happen with gps and navigation so I wanted to do the latest OTA update. I've been skipping the latest update messages.
I don't want to lose my root.
Is it safe to do the OTA and then unrevoke again.

right now I've got...
android 2.2
baseband 2.15.00.09.01
ker 2.6.32.15
build 3.29.651.5
software 3.29.651.5
prl 60677

Yes, its safe. Or go to xda dev section, there are rooted stock roms on there. All up to date

1) What is happening with GPS? It might be an issue we can troubleshoot outside of updating (not that you shouldn't update; it just might be something simple).
2) Unrevoked will root all current hboot versions, but...
3) You can't just accept the OTA update right now. You have a custom recovery, which will cause the update to fail. You need to either:

a) unroot (instructions in the rooting for dummies guide), which will give you back the stock recovery and replace your ROM (and wipe data) with an unrooted one. You can leave S-OFF for this if you want. Or...
b) update manually. Instruction are in the rooting for dummies guide, as well.

the last 2 or 3 days my google maps and google nav have been loosing the gps signal and won't navigate properly. I am a truck driver and use them daily. All of a sudden they just started acting up.
I did a battery pull and reboot and still get issues. Sucks because I love using google maps and nav they rock.
I did see where the apps had updates that got updated automatically, so I uninstalled the google maps update and rebooted. Still get the quircky gps signal.

I'll do some more research on the google maps and nav issue in the forum this weekend when I get home. I just wanted to check on the OTA update anyway. Up until the last 2-3 days I've never had any problems with my rooted EVO.
So I thought it might be something needs the OTA update.

Thanks for your help guys.

Have you tried resetting your GPS?

Yeah, try what Mr. Ed suggested, first. That might just fix it.

Thanks for that tip...
Tried it and still getting unusually long wait while searching for gps. It finally came up but took about 2 minutes.
It never had a delay longer than 3 - 5 seconds before.
