Depends, did you take the OTA or did you install a custom rom to get to 2.3.4. If you took the OTA and you weren't rooted before I don't know if you can go back. The HTC unlocker method of rooting will not let you install a kernel so I don't believe you will be able to flash a 2.3.3 rom since it will require an compatible kernel.
If your on 2.3.4 taking the ota then there is no way to go back to 2.3.3

You're going to need to follow this method, which uses HTCs bootloader unlock method. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1225974
Either that, or wait a little bit and see if revolutionary gets updated to work with the new 1.5hboot.
Is there a RUU for the 2.3.3? If so, when all else fails, revert back, root, then flash a ROM based on the 2.3.4.

There is an RUU for 2.3.3, but you can't downgrade if you're unrooted with S-on. It will throw an error at you about 'main version older' or some crap like that, because HTC makes it so you can't downgrade bootloaders (unless you're S off already, then I'm pretty sure you can downgrade)
I'd rather wait for a root method than going with the HTC unlock

If I were you, yes, I would wait for a different root method. I heard Revolutionary is working on a root for the new OTA.
The real question is, whena re they not
Anyone with new information on this yet?

Hi Iam running Alien4 2.3.4 rom with faux1234. Iam rooted and obviously bl is unlocked. But I had a question, I never really understanded the fruit cake thing. I just wanted to make sure I don't brick my phone. So I can flash the 2.3.4 fruitcake, over my current rom, and it would be safe to download the new and future OTA updates over wifi and install it? Thanks

I heard that Google kills a stripper every time someone with a custom ROM attempts to OTA update.

Fruitcake replaces any OTA. Only update software via CWM now. No RSD, no nothing.

Hi...
Is there a chance to downgrade an HTC Thunderbolt 4G from Gingerbread to Froyo? (2.11.605.9 to any 1.xx) withour ROOT?
Is there a chance t brick my Thunderbolt if I tried??
Thanks for any advice
No. To flash a rom you need s-off. To keep a froyo rom from updating you need a custom froyo rom with root.

Thanks a lot
So, If I have the 2.11.605.9 I can't return my Thunderbolt to any 1.xx?
Even if I go rooted?
Sure you can. Once rooted, flash the FroYo radios, then the FroYo ROM.

What can I do for make that downgrade!!?? Because the .9 can't be rooted as long as I now
Make sure the file is named correctly, and NOT in a folder on your sd card.
Also, make certain you have 40%+ of battery and that sd is FAT32 format.

my phone is rooted and i just put the stock rom on it (Shooter_S_Sprint_WWE_2.17.651.5_odex.zip) after having a different rom my question is when ICS update comes in 2 weeks (for sprint users in the usa) will the update work and be applied? or will i just get an error?
I believe you will also have to relock your bootloader and install the stock ruu which puts the stock recovery on.
I recommend that you wait until a dev comes out with a custom based off the ota. It will be more awesome.

That Sucks is there any way I could go back to stock stock so I can update threw HTC when released
Sent from my PG86100 using xda app-developers app
NEVER EVER take an update when you are rooted. Every single guide to rooting tells you this.
There is no need to relock to take the update when it comes out. Just wait about an hour, and someone on here will have a flashable version of the stock rooted rom. Flash it like any other rom, simple as that, no need to worry about bricking.
Well I don't really care about it not being rooted any more

Just find the stock RUU for your phone.
Depending on whether your CDMA or GSM and what carrier.
It shouldn't be hard. Just use the search.
Then follow the instructions to flash it, make sure you have the stock HTC recovery and relock the bootloader.
Your phone will be stock!

Ah, no problem, you should be fine.
When flashing the stock RUU, if done properly, you should automatically get the stock recovery.

So I am running SuperChargedHatka rom and they just updated to the new ota. Ok my question is are we better off flashing back to stock. Relocking. Updating. Then unlocking again? Are there things in the update we can't get with custom roms?

Anyone? Is it more beneficial to go back to stock everything and accept the update then unlock again and install a custom ROM? Or is there no real benefit.

If you relock, stock, update then unlock and flash a rooted Rom, make sure it has the update in it or you will possibly flash the old rom files over the new..

You can't get the new radios or hboot just by flashing the ROM. So if you want them then you have to lock, run ruu, update, and unlock again. Kind of a pain but just the way it is right now. If you have the unlock bin you originally got from HTC it does make it a little easier.

Alright cool. That's what I was wondering. Too bad flashgui won't flash radios too
