I rooted and installed RomManager. I was also able to reboot and take a backup of my existing 1.31 rooted image.
If I install an Unsigned Stock Froyo ROM that isn't rooted an contains no modifications to it. Will I be able to downgrade and install other ROMs in the future using RomManager? Or will the new stock Rom wipe out any modifications I made once HBOOT is upgraded?
thanks in advance.

DO I HAVE TO ROOT MY PHONE TO INSTALL THIS STOCK ROM VIA CWM , AS GIVEN IN THIS LINK >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1758884
i think not since OP did not mention any root or SU privileges needed
but just to be safe,
root it
as per experience with installing different roms, from installing fresh stock rom which is not rooted to flashing custom roms. i was able to install it successfully. but just to be safe, root it as mentioned by deathnotice.
for me rooting 1st is prioterize cause example installing tweaks somekind needs root previlage... for me thats my opinion
There is no harm in rooting. That stock rom is rooted anyway
CWM Install

You don't need to root your phone to flash a custom or stock rom. The simple reason is that all custom roms are pre-rooted roms with superuser pre-installed and flashing of stock roms doesn't need rooting. Don't forget to back up your stock rom and kernel via cwm recovery if you didn't own a pc as a safety measure in case you wanted to revert back to it in the event of bootloops or otherwise. If you do have a pc, it is not necessary as you can flash back to stock rom and kernel via odin. If you don't know how to flash via odin search the forum for tutorial. In case if you don't have any odin flashable firmware package, it is advisable that you create a back up. Sorry for the long reply.

no need but better be rooted
There is no need to root for the process but rooting but there is no harm if u root:good:
No need root friend....... U can always install any package without root
Info:to know more about root unroot .... Just search in google :thumbup:
I rooted my phone and installed a Custom ROM (AndroidL) after installing my phone became unrooted automatically. My bootloader is unlocked and I have installed Clockwork Recovery.
Now how do i go about just to root my phone alone.
You should read the thread of the rom more carefully next time. Flash this: http://download.chainfire.eu/593/SuperSU/BETA-SuperSU-v2.19.zip
Would I be able to take an OTA when it comes up if I root and install a custom recovery on my phone or do I have to revert to stock?
Much thanks!
Should the phone must be rooted before instalilng CR or ROOT can be install of the trough CR instalation procedure (eg magic). Thanks
Your phone doesn't have to be rooted to install a custom recovery (I assume that's what you mean by CR). However, a custom recovery is required to flash either Magisk or SuperSU.
Flash a custom recovery using Odin first, then boot into recovery and flash the flashable zip containing a superuser management tool of your choice!
