The reason for the update is to repair some issues that select EVO's are having with the included microSD card.
Check here to read about the exact issue many are having:

It isn't worth losing root.
do not accept it. we will make a rooted version. they could patch root with it and ruin the chance of root

I won't be. I just thought it would be beneficial to tell the folks here.
For anyone tempted to accept the OTA, or any update from Sprint or HTC, take a little visit to the Hero forum.
How do we ensure we do not receive the OTA update? Please post instructions!!

If it's the same as the G1, then all you have to do is refuse the update. It will ask you if you want to update, just say no. Correct me if I'm wrong or it's been changed.

Easy:
Step 1. Do not go to Menu > Settings > About Phone > System Software Updates
At least that's how it is on my CDMA Hero running Aloysius 2.1.

this is true. should be the same on the evo. once we make a rooted version, the reminder will go away. it should take no more then an hour for the update to be rooted and uploaded. so be patient, most likely its not going to be a life altering update to froyo. itll just be a patch update

the phone will have to download the update to the sdcad and require u to reboot into recovery if that were the case. im not sure as ive never seen this happen first hand. all the OTA's ive senn just came up with a notice saying... you have a software update availible. wwhen u click it, it will take u to setting and ask if u would like to download it now. u can say no. but if u say yes it will download and when its finished, ask u if u would like to reboot to apply the update. if u say no again ur still in the green. if u say yes it will take u to hboot (bootloader) menu. at this point it will searche for the update on the sdcard, validate and flash it. this is how it worked on my wifes Eris at least and the CDMA hero worked the same way. note this though. Sprint doesnt seem to like doing full rom updates via OTA. they have in the past always made the update avail via the Sprint support site. this was the case for both the Moment and the HeroC. again thi isnt for certain things will work this way on the Evo. but im assuming HTC/Sprint wouldnt bother changing their methods all of a sudden just for the Evo. but again anything is posible
i may just have them hand me a box then, and tell them i will activate at home. i can pull the sd card and use my N1 to put the files on it, and boot straight into bootloader, flash, then do the recovery dance, all before said phone looks for updates.
thanks for the heads up about auto checking. maybe some of the nice folks on the east coast that are going to have the phone 2 hours before i will can post up whether or not this happens, once they get theirs

From the Evo Manual:
Updating Your Device’s System Software
From time to time, system software updates for your device may be available. Your device can automatically
check and then notify you if an update is available. You can then download and install the update to your
device. Depending on the type of update, the update may erase all your personal data and customized
settings, and also remove any programs you have installed. Make sure that you have backed up the
information and files you want to keep.
To check for phone system software updates manually
1. Press > and then tap Settings > System updates > HTC software update.
2. On the System software updates screen, tap Check now.

So Friday i went to verizon and bought me a new LG G3 phone, 32G memory 3G RAM, you know the good **** LOL. Well when i got home i wanted to root the phone but when i looked it up there was many options, IOROOT, TowelRoot, and Stump Root. So i tried towel root on the phone but when i clicked the button towel root said my device isnt compatible and my phones build is the VS98510B. So at that point i decided to try IOROOT. When i launched the batch file i made sure i made myself a developer, got the proper drivers, made it connect via usb and set the phone connection to Ethernet. Well in the batch file it said everything was good and that i just needed to click any button to continue well i did that but when i clicked a button it simply closed the batch file. All i clicked was the space bar and it closed. Stump root isnt compatible and im afraid to use bruteforce mode. Any one got any help with this? Andriod Kitkat 4.4.2
Use the brut force method in stump. Takes about 5 minutes.

Read a bit here TWRP is a recovery and backup software for when you flash a custom ROM.. You're not flashing any custom ROMs just yet.. So... I don't think you need to backup anything just yet. After you root the phone you can use TWRP to backup your current stock ROM .. Good luck ..
:good:
I used ioroot with no problems. Check out this vid, pretty straight fwd on what you need to do.

My pleasure Hope you can find root using the desired software.. I'm in Korea..using the F400k but the latest update (v10l) couldn't find root using any of the available tools.. so.. I had to downgrade to the previous (v10g) and got root again. :victory:

I'll be the serious guy...
Theoretically (meaning I take no responsibility for what might/might not happen, and of course have not seen confirmation of this working except over Lollipop)...yes you could root with the low effort root if you're on M.
All you're doing is flashing a rooted Lollipop image over the stock one, so yeah you'd be going back to Lollipop but yeah you'd also be rooted. It's a downgrade but I suppose it would do for the time being if you really wanted root and for some reason took the M upgrade without wanting to.

I don't think the Lollipop image would work. Root would need to be injected into a M image.
Sent from my VS986 using Tapatalk
The reason he was being sarcastic is because there is no way to know if we can root M until it actually comes out. It's like asking if the LG G5 will be rootable, no way to know until it's out.

I tend to agree, I was just saying in theory it would work...
People used to downgrade from LP to KK with pre-rooted images.
But yeah the 100% surefire answer at this point is who freakin knows. I'm sure a root will come along eventually, just gotta give the developers some time.
In all seriousness it most likely will not work. Android M will almost certainly come with upgraded boot.img, etc and most new phones with locked bootloaders are preventing downgrading and/or preventing of unsigned images so its quite likely we will not be able to downgrade. This is my first locked LG device so I could be wrong about the G4.
Sent from my VS986 using Tapatalk
Yea no one really knows. Lollipop really made rooting complicated. Phones like the G2 and G3 were able to use older partition firmwares that were still rootable but required KitKat parts. With the G4 having stock lollipop, it was more complicated.
I suspect that we will always be able to root similarly how we did already. The USB>COM>flash a custom rooted system image should still be an option. This method is how the LG updater tool works. If they block access to that, then everything will break.
I have faith that we will be ok but like everyone said above, we won't know until it is released.

If that bootloader is unlocked and the good ol' legendary Chain man has a nice, sweet, hot binary in SuperSU to shove up that there thang. Then, I don't see why not. You can root through TWRP or whatever custom recovery you choose to use to overwrite the partition when you're boot scootin' boogied.
Google is really trying to lock their OS down. They make it harder to root, and now Android Pay won't work on rooted phones and they have an API for developers now to restrict or prevent use if the OS is modified.
This is a stupid question that's why it was answered sarcatically. Its a new version, so when root is out it would be posted or if someone tries the old root and it worked they would post it. Otherwise you would ask if anyone is working on the root. You basically asked if a new phone coming out if it will be rootable.
Also why are people asking tmobile questions in a verizon thread.
No root possible on verizon MM. They plugged the hole so we are no longer able to pull and push the rooted system images like we were.
The V10 is facing a similar issue and they've been at it longer. So until then, I just disabled the System Update app in settings.

well i think i'll wait till someone manage to root zvi .. XD
just received the ZVI update this morning. On one hand, I guess I should be pleased that LG cares just enough to keep updating this old device with security improvements and updates. After Toting back to ZVE and updating to ZVH, my GPS seems to be working finally. Was flaky to non functional since I got it(refurb from Freedompop) on ZVG.
However, it;s a pain in the butt to restore the firmware back to ZVE and lose root.
Please let us know if you figure out how to get root back on ZVI and thanks again
Does anyone know if there is a way to disable the OTA update nag message or prevent the download of the update.zip file? Is there an APK I can freeze using Titanium Backup? Most annoying thing about the OTA update is that it doesn;t seem to care if you are on wifi or mobile data when it downloads/redownloads(which it will do infinitely).
It seems that ZVI non-rootable for now Shame! Security fix from 01-11-2015, so they fix holes in system = no-root. Back to ZVH, or cm13...

Sorry to hear all of you weren't able to achieve root with the new update using the older method. I'm glad I stopped by here to do some reading before I updated. I was going to TOT back this weekend and take ZVI. Root is a must since I use the hotspot mod so ZVI is gonna hate to wait.
Hopefully someone will figure out a way around the newest security patch soon.
Need a little help disabling the ZVI OTA notification. I've tried several older methods but none have worked. I've selected the install later option but as you all know, the notification persists in the drop down menu. If possible, I would like to do away with it entirely until a method of rooting ZVI is created. Any info on disabling the notification would be appreciated.

I Do Believe You Need To Be Rooted To Install Magisk...
And to root you have to Unlock your Bootloader.
Your device will Reject Any and All O.T.A.'s with an Unsecure (A.K.A. Unlocked) Bootloader.
That's why you get that hidious *Warning!* message everytime you reboot.. your device knows it's unsecured.
You can sideload all the upcoming O.T.A.'s when someone makes them available.. I kinda doubt that is going to be on day one though.
The Nice thing about those of you that are rooting is, you can just pay the $18.00 bucks and bring your phone back to stock with that D.C. tool that is being discussed in the Q & A.. I assume it works on all variants ?
Anyway.. good luck to you if you do decide to go ahead and unlock that Bootloader.

Magisk is a rooting method, I know from experience that you don't already have to have a rooted phone. Also magisk v14 added a feature where you could patch the boot image and flash it via adb.

You Are 100% Correct...
You're conversing with an old "SuperSu" guy here.. I totally forgot mag's is a rooter like Su.
But you still have to Unlock that loader to make it happen.. You are not going to get any O.T.A.'s
I know Magisk can hide root for things like netflix... But not to recieve Vendor Updates.. unless things have changed drasticly.. please correct me if I'm wrong..
But again.. sideloading is always an option.

When It Comes To Huawei.. I'm A Virgin...
Every other phone I've seen, the O.T.A. will notify you that your system has been "Modified" and will not attempt the update.
When you root.. Your Phone Becomes Insecure.. and is vernable to Malware, Virus, Hacks and god knows what else.
O.T.A.'s are Signed Packages.. They Ain't Going To Da Hood To Do Business...
Keep it locked if you want everything on day 1.. Then you can Root to your hearts content.

Note u definitely can't take OTA updates with Magisk installed. What's worse is the normal recovery doesn't have a proper update option so u'll have to use Huawei's Dload method which fails if u have tampered the system. Restoring to the stock ROM with a locked bootloader is also incredibly hard on Huawei/Honor devices.

Thats not what I meant, Huawei does use the recovery to update like any other phone but their recovery doesn't let the user to sideload their own OTA files. U'll have to use their Dload method which is an absolute pain.
Further, the Magisk page u posted here mentions the system and vendor must not be modded so that means you can't use any app like Titanium Backup to block or uninstall apps since it tampers the system. Thats really annoying since the whole point of rooting is to modify the system. Also if u used TWRP then u will have a hard time trying to find the right recovery file corresponding to the firmware u r on. It is really hard for Honor devices since u'll have to download a large file and, using a tool on XDA, extract the images u need. IMO rooting this phone is worth it right now especially since it is new and will constantly be recieving OTAs in the coming months.

Thats not what I meant, Huawei does use the recovery to update like any other phone but their recovery doesn't let the user to sideload their own OTA files. U'll have to use their Dload method which is an absolute pain.
Further, the Magisk page u posted here mentions the system and vendor must not be modded so that means you can't use any app like Titanium Backup to block or uninstall apps since it tampers the system.
