if you want to lock relock without htc devs your gonna need soff. use firewater for 2.49 hboot. once soff, use scotty's method for lock and unlock bootloder.
once soff, install twrp recovery. it will ask if you want to root on exit.

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

It depends how you rooted it.

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.
Its really a different process for each root method available

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.

confirmed. you can still unlock and flash custom recovery like you always have, but the new hboot makes it impossible to s-off at this point (unless you pay for a java card or for a shop who has one to perform the s-off). There have not been any reports (to my knowledge) that ATT or HTC has blocked unlocking via htcdev.com

Which is why I said unlock bootloader first. Honestly, it's as simple as I listed it. And if you don't plan on flashing ruu's for other models, s-off isn't that big a thing. I have it, it's nice to have, but if all you want is to root, flash roms, etc, just unlock and flash custom recovery.

What happens if you run the exe file that is the GPE RUU from the HTC site (Brightstar) after you have OTA'd to 4.3 ATT version? This is my only phone so I didn't try for fear of bricking it, but it seems like it opens the rom upgrade utility program and would flash a different ROM, or does it check and then fail the install?

I guess it's a catch 22, can't s-off after 4.3 OTA, so can't change CID, or obtain the SuperCID status, is that what I am understanding at this point?

I am not sure if you can access this folder without being rooted but you can give it a try. No harm in it. If it works, fine or you always have an option to flash custom recovery.

I think maybe I need to create that file on the system folder, but it's not visible from my pc and I won't save on my phone, (I think because I don't have root)

Your computer wont be able to see system folder/files. You need a root browser from play store to do the trick for you. You need to create a preload folder un System/data using root browser. I believe you need to have root access in order to do these steps and for this you'll need a unlocked bootloader, custom recovery and super user flashed.

I'm still battling away with this thing trying to get S-OFF so I can relock bootloader and get my finger print scanner working.

Like I said earlier, I did S-Off when I was on 2.47 hboot and I didn't need any Insecure Kernel. I am not sure if 2.49 would require an insecure kernel to S-Off with fire water.
I will read that forum for you to find out if you would need an Insecure Kernel and will let you know. In the mean time you keep searching as well my friend.
