The update just became available on my phone but every time I try to update it, it says "Installation aborted". My phone is rooted but it's running on stock. It just takes me to this black and green screen.

If you REALLY want the update there are two options.

One: RUU back to stock, accept the OTA, then re-root.

Two: Ignore it, S-Off, and follow the thread saying how to turn your phone into an Evo 3D.

S-Off is not too hard, the timing is the worst part. I finally did it, and boy. I'm glad I did. AOSP/AOKP Roms are phenomenal. That and I have a better radio/PRI now ;)

So if you RUU back and go to stock and then do the OTA and then root back using stock rom won't that overwrite the update since you're installing a rom again? Or do you skip the step of installing stock rom as it's already installed?

Edit: After going through all that it did not save the update. Which does not surprise me since I used the old stock rom in the rooting guide thread.
