edit: njfoses beat me to the reply

Thank you both do those roms come with the new radio and kernel also or is it separate?

You never take an ota while rooted. Never.
No, a Rom diesnt include a radio. You flash that seperately

You should be able to flash a new recovery through fastboot and install super su that way.

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

Iwill probably wont root again until Jelly Bean Update

I lost my root on the last OTA and since there are still no new method to re root on this new version might as well wait till the JB update. I think by Mid August / Sept we can see the new OTA to JB

There is a thread that I used after the OTA by xHausx that brought back r00t for me flawlessly, and I used HTC Dev to unlock the bootloader?

I almost tried this until I read the following ~ I wanted the fixes in the latest OTA:
"Successful in rooting all builds up to 1.13.651.1."
It works for 1.22. It unlocks your phone and installs twrp. You just have to flash chainfires 0.94 superuser to be fully rooted

Wait, this is getting confusing. We should always be able to unlock thru htcdev on this phone no matter the firmware update. Achieving S-OFF is not yet possible on hboot 1.15, so, that's what some of us are hoping to have...

Yes, S-OFF on hboot 1.15 is a work-in-progress, perhaps with a future Lazy Panda exploit.
I believe the original user's requirement was root and unlocked on the current OTA.
These are HTC phones. You can always use HTC dev as a last resort. We will always have root.
Also, don't accept otas if your rooted or ever plan on rooting.

Believe that s-on with the new hboot restricts u as to what is flashable, ie kernels, splash screens, radios. Whereas the old hboot does not. Why some of us are waiting for s-off on current ota/hboot.

When rebooting for the HTC Software update, it keeps taking me to Teamwin recovery.

Are you trying to do a factory update on a rooted device? You cant if I'm not mistaken. You need to flash a Rom built for your device

Do not accept the OTA
Just flash any rom based on the OTA

premo15 said:
If you have TWRP instead of the stock recovery, then your bootloader is unlocked. You can only install the official OTA if you're locked and on the stock recovery. You'll need to use an RUU to get back to stock in order to accept the OTA, but you'll lose root. Some of the devs have cracked it and made the firmware available for flashing if you're unlocked. What's your reason for wanting to take the OTA if I may ask?

I want wallet to work without modifications, and I need the WiFi issue fixed. Last time I tried the RUU, it still kept TeamWin on the phone. At least, I think.

The RUU will write the stock recovery and ROM onto the phone, so it looks like that didn't work for you.
If you want wallet working, flash a ROM based on the new OTA. I would suggest either MeanROM or Viper4G. Unrooting to take the OTA is never the correct option.
Meanrom is the way to go if you want the wallet to work as it should, mikey has posted good instructions in his thread

You can always root.
The question is whether or not you can live with the restrictions the OTA places on you
What does S-off allow me to do? What other restrictions am I looking at? I rooted my og evo nd ran decks rom and I'm thinking of doing the same now.

You can't get S-OFF
You can only unlock the bootloader, which means you can't flash things through the bootloader (Radios, splashscreens, ect),like you could on the OG EVO and you cannot flash kernels the normal way through recovery.

You are probably using SuperSu as the superuser app. You can go into settings of that app and select permanent unroot.
You can then lock up you bootloader by opening a command prompt and going to your adb and using fast boot commands you can type fastboot OEM lock you can then proceed to download the latest ruu 2.13 just search the on here for it and run that with your phone still connected to your computer.
If your soff you can just run the ruu or install a stock ROM via recovery.
Multiple ways to do it just depends on a lot of variables like what ROM your on, s-off or s-on, what hboot your on 1.12 or 1.15, if you just want root gone or you also what to dump custom recovery as well and if you want it completely stock like it just came out of the box.
Let us know some more info and someone will help out

Theres no need to undo the superuser app. Any unroot method is going to install the unrooted ROM

True, but still a way to unroot.
If he just wants to unroot that's the quickest way to do it and probably the easiest.

You are right. That's not what most people want when they go to unroot though. H-boot will still be unlocked/S-OFF and the phone will probably still have a custom recovery (depending on root method)
So get back to us OP

In that case, relock bootloader as per the instructions above, and then run the appropriate RUU for your firmware version.

If S-OFF it requires you to run the S-ON tool as well.

You'll need to re-lock the phone and then run the RUU then.

RUU:

For h-boot 1.15 you'll need the 1.22 RUU
You run it from your computer.
