root?

[gogeku]

I'm new here and I just rooted my ego last night with unrevocked3. I'm new to rooting but I have couple questions. Will ota remove superuser permissions and pda net?

When your phone is rooted it will not get OTÀ updates. So the answer is no.

You can still get OTA notifications if you root and do nothing else. Even if you flash a new ROM/Kernel, you can sometimes get OTA notifications.

To prevent OTAs from popping up (and removing SU access) you can do one of many things:

1) Disable the updater. Find and rename updater.apk to updater.apk.bak with a root explorer (es file explorer is a good one and is free). This is found in /system/app directory. If you use ES File Explorer, click the star in the upper right, then select 'Phone'.

2) Disable the updater through System Updates. Push menu button > Settings > System Updates > HTC Software Update > Uncheck Scheduled Check.

3) Change system files. This could be as easy as removing/renaming a system file or carrier installed bloat file (like anything that says sprint). These files are located in /system/app. But, at this point, you might as well just disable updater.apk. Many ROMs make tweaks to system applications, so this is likely already preventing you from getting an OTA (if you flash a custom ROM).
