You have to relock your bootloader to be able to take the OTA I'm pretty sure

I think you just need to type "fastboot oem lock" without the quotes in a cmd window.
An RUU will take you back to complete stock.
I have never done it so not 100%
Question why have you not tried to go S-OFF? It would save you so many headaches.
I'm pretty sure you need the stock recovery to accept an OTA so RUU is probably the way to go

I can confirm. RUU failed until I had the stock recovery and locked bootloader

adb tools w/stock recovery incase anyone needs it
I'm S-On, Unlocked, rooted, hboot 1.15 and have TWRP (don't recall which custom ROM I installed months ago but it is stock based). When I checked for the JB update I was notified it was there and was able to download it but I haven't tried installing yet. Will I be able to install it or will I need to re-lock, un-root or otherwise modify my phone before I can install stock JB?
Some people are having trouble recovering root after 2.03, might be better to wait a bit longer

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.

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 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 run it from your computer.

Your not s-off, and judging from the fact you can't boot cm, your not on hboot 1.12. Check out http://unlimited.io/dirtyracun.htm this will allow you to s-off and not have to worry about flashing the boot.img through fastboot.
I used regaw method of achieving root and it does s-off also, and like I said cm10 goes into bootloop

regaw_leinad's tool only unlocks your bootloader, through the method provided by HTC. You do not achieve s-off though that. If you boot into your bootloader, you will see s-on, the next line below where it says unlocked.

Personally, your much better off actually going with dirtyracun. If your s-off all you have to do is flash the rom.zip. If you dont wanna go that route, you need adb set up. After you have adb set up, just cd to what ever directory you extracted the boot.img out of the rom to, and type fastboot flash boot boot.img
sorry, I'm not gunna spoon feed ya through the process, but atleast it sends you in the right direction

Another con is you can't update your firmware unless you relock and take the OTA or hope a recovery flashable zip comes along
So if your hboot was s-off, how is it any different than s-on? You still have to run the RUU to go back to stock then get the OTA right? Or are you talking about some other OTA?

There are Firmware zips available right now for 3.15 that can be flashed in the bootloader but you must be S-OFF to flash them.Just flash and everything is updated except hboot,kernel,and stock recovery.
Flashing those firmwares is the same as taking the OTA except for what I mentioned above

Ugh - took the OTA on an HTCdev unlocked boot loader and now it seems hboot 2.09 locks down the systems (can't update supersu binary, they locked down /system?). Now on viperboy stock rooted rom...
Hopefully they come out with an s-off technique for 2.09, need to be able to "hide" supersu/root binaries on my device...
Any news on s-off for hboot 2.09?
Hi, I'm am a noob, I got the JB update, then decided to root my phone. I am unlocked and rooted. I would like to turn s-off but my hboot is 2.09.
I am trying to flash mean bean and every time it gets to around 25%, my phone reboots. I am using twrp to try flashing it.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Or what I need to do?
Thanks again.
