With the (allegedly) upcoming OTA update to ICS for our beloved HTC Rezound looming (again, allegedly) right around the corner, does anyone know about the ability to stay rooted or to get root again after the update?
It may be too soon since the OTA isn't here yet, and I know some will say "just flash one of the ICS leaks, n00b!", but there are some like myself who don't really want to mess with ROMs, but still enjoy the plethora of extra functionality that comes along with being rooted.
So, is it possible for some of the experts in the "Rezound - All Things Root" scene to give us some pointers and tips to make all our rooted OTA ICS dreams come true?
The latest rumor is of course that the official ICS OTA will push from VZW on the 6th of April. So with a supposed 48 hour(ish) countdown, those of us who want to retain root are facing some decisions methinks. Any info that can be provided will be immensely helpful.
Some common questions that folks will probably have:
Thanks in advance to all you movers and shakers out there who make our tech-nerd dreams come true on a daily basis. Without your hard work and the unpaid hours of your free time that you give, these questions wouldn't matter because we probably wouldn't have root in the first place!
Thanks for reading and I hope this OTA goes smoothly for everyone who will be taking it!

Some common questions that folks will probably have:
- Are there any steps that I can do before accepting the OTA to ensure I retain Super User privileges after the update?
- If not, will there be a method available to regain the aforementioned Super User privileges after the update?
- I've used a third-party app to "freeze" or remove certain stock applications that I didn't want, or that I deemed "bloatware". Has the community identified any specific stock apps that MUST be installed and running correctly in order for the OTA update to work?
