to directly answer your question, if you did a full restore (system, data and kernel) of android 2.3.3, you'd have a new radio loaded (from OTA) with older system software and kernel (from full restore). not sure that is the most ideal setup, but it is possible.
not sure why you would want to go from 2.3.4 (OTA) back to 2.3.3? partly defeats moving to 2.3.4.
for starters, you'll want to restore the custom recovery, as the OTA will have overwrote that as well as removing the setuid permission on the su binary in /system/bin/su.
to restore the custom recovery, if you haven't already done, you should be able to flash it thru rom manager, as you're still s-off. also can flash it thru the bootloader using the .zip or using my flashimagegui app.
not sure what exactly your goal is or why you're wanting to move back to 2.3.3 after doing the 2.3.4 OTA. hope the information provided helps!

Nothings going to happen.I have all the new updates except hboot.I built a 2.3.4 ROM its quick.but ya know what no over clock yet.so I went back to my 2.3.3 backup of my V6 ROM over clocked to 1.7ghz. I have no issues at all.
I'll go back to 2.3.4 when a oc kernel comes available.

Ok so I tried both ways and get an error that said I need to root my phone so i guess I'm screwed until there's a work around

If I wanted to go back to 2.3.3 where can I find those files. Or can i just flash the ruu for 2.3.3?

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

Will updating the ota thru a custom rom affect unlocked or s-off status? And can I flash back to a older ota rom with no issue?

I don't think you'll be able to complete the OTA process if you're on a custom Rom. But either way it won't change your s off or unlocked status.
That's correct the update will not install with a custom recovery or on a custom rom. Why do you want to do this? When you are unlocked and S-off there is no need for an OTA.
You can manually flash the radio and Kernel then run a rom base on the update. Or run the stock rooted rom

Ah, I guess I needed to ask if installing a custom rom based on the new ota would affect me but you answered that. Thank you

Yeah you're good man. You're biggest concern is making the kernel match the rom.
I am in need of updating my prl/profile, they are behind and I cannot make calls/have a data connection. I recently rooted/s-off and installed CM10.2 RC2. Is there any way to update my prl/profile without unrooting/going back to stock? Is there a stock ROM I can install? What would be the process (wipe,put on stock rom, update prl/profile, re wipe, re install cm)?
Thanks!

You have to flash a Sense ROM, at which time you can update your PRL and profile. No need to go back to stock.

Can we flash this over stock rooted with twrp as a substitute for the OTA. Cuz if I wanna take the tradition OTA I would have to flash stock recovery take the OTA and then re root.

Don't dirty flash this one over stock. This is deodexed so it will screw things up. Been busy with getting the badseed Rom ready but I should have time to do an odexed version this weekend.

Awesome. Once its odexed I can dirty flash then?
Else I was just gonna wait for viper to update to 1.58 and flash that or worse comes to worse flash stick recovery and take the OTA but I know some have been having issues with that and the OTA would only get 40% done and fail because of some xml file differences

If you have a stock rom backup you should be able to take the OTA no problem. You just can't have anything modified in the system partition, if you do it will fail.
I just restored my untouched/unmodified stock backup and flash stock recovery and got the OTA from system updates.

I reflashed the stock recovery for the OTA, but my rom backup already had some of the bloat taken out, and other apps updated. For instance, when I tried to run the OTA is said that Kindle was not as expected, since the update was integrated into the system rom. Would I then have to wait for the odexed version of your stock version, and then have the OTA included anyway?

Shoot xposed framework had to be flashed from recovery since i still have write protection on and it needed to be a system app.

The word "firmware" is rather generalized and can apply to any type of program code flashed to a device. Don't feel dumb, because the term "firmware" is sometimes used on XDA interchangeably with the word ROM.
But their are other times when folks talk about "the firmware" (such as in posts 5 and 6 above) to mean "the other modules that are included in the 1.58 OTA aside from the ROM". I haven't looked at this particular firmware zip, but they can typically contain: hboot, kernel, radio, WiFi, media and possibly other modules.
These other modules are typically not needed to run a particular ROM. But it might be argued, if they cared enough to change them, there might be something in there worth installing.
Personally, I'm rarely in the practice up updating the firmware packages, and have only rarely seen it make much difference.
