[sarcasm] I guess the folks here are too busy flaming each other for what to post or not to post in this thread to actually answer a real question that in fact concerns an OTA update (and incidentally rooting too). [/sarcasm]

LEM.
I found this while poking around..

OTA upgrades will be disabled automatically during the process so as not to kill your root. Again use jesusfrekes latest modded firmware (he releases very quickly after T-mobile do and if you want to talk to him regarding this, he is normally in the chat room - use the link on the home page of this site, he's very approachable, and very clever!)
So it may be safe to say that JF's firmware kills OTA updates.
