Desire Z perma rooted - how to unroot?

Hello,
I have a HTC Desire Z with perma root, S-off and Clockwork recovery, however I'd like to update to the latest official rom of Gingerbread. I assume to do this that I have to remove my root, S-off and recovery, and I was wondering if anyone could tell me how?
I read that I'm not supposed to flash certain files with S-off or I'll get a bootloop, so could somebody advise me what to do?
This is my specs:

You've posted in the wrong forum - you need to post in Questions, ideally.
Just installing the official update via RUU (there are guides, search the forum) will put your phone back to stock - but you won't be able to undo the changes without a LOT of work. Why do you even want to do it?
You'd be better finding a modified and rooted version of the latest stock f/w, surely?

Sorry, I Wasn't paying attention to what forum I posted it in.
Could you recommend me a rom that's closest to the latest stock as possible?

This is the most stock you can get with a sense ROM

Thanks, one final question.
Do I need Clockwork Recovery 3.x? I'm on 2.6.x right now and I know that in 3.x they needed new partitions, I assume I'll need to update?

Latest is 5.0.2 but you can just install it through rom manager. to be able to flash GB roms you'll need a recovery higher as 3.x though since this is the one that can change partitions to ext4

just wondering, do you want it stock for the rom or for warranty purposes?

The reason I wanted stock was because I never use root and I didn't want to mess up my phone.
One final final question:
Will my 2.2 Nandroid dumps work on recovery 5.*?

[Q] Having trouble accepting OTA update on 4.1.2. (Assert Failed)

Hello. I have a rooted GS3 which I want to update. I was on CM11 but was getting bad battery life so I went back to stock via a Nandroid restore. I then installed the stock recovery again. Now when I try to do the OTA update, I get the following message
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}
Is there any way to make this work? I am on 4.1.2 (MB1?) and would love to get to the latest stock version. Thanks

you could have left custom recovery on it, and flashed THIS from CNexus. Its stock 4.3, no KNOX, and you get to keep root access.

Thanks for the reply. Is that stock touchwiz or stock jellybean? Also what's the latest version which sprint has pushed out for the gs3?

Stock jellybean with touchwiz launcher. Touchwiz is the stock launcher. This one is the latest update, in zip format, but with KNOX removed.

One thing which stock Touchwiz has that I can update my prl etc from the rom, whereas I wasn't able to do that in Cyanogenmod. Do you know if this stock rom allows it? Thanks

[Q] Need help 4.4 to 4.1.2

Dear sir,
Im on KitKat and want to downgrade to 4.1.2. When i use Odin:
Warrant Bit: 1
BOOTLOADER AP SWREV: 2
SW REV CHECK FAIL : Fused 2 > Binary 0
Please help me. Thank you.

Doing that will brick your device..you can't downgrade from 4.4 without doing so

does not support 4.3 or newer.

Only way to downgrade is to flash a custom ROM via a custom recovery that is 4.1.2....though all these custom Roms have tethering capabilities built in by default

Yes but again.. What your aiming for is built into settings of any up to date custom rom

I just want to reinforce what @REV3NT3CH said. You can flash any ROM at all through recovery, although you can just flash the hotspot mod for ND8.
Just never try to downgrade your bootloader or modem because your phone will be hard bricked, which Odining an older stock tar would have done so I'm glad that it didn't succeed in trying.

[Q] 4.1.1 vulnerable to Heartbleed, update options?

Both my S3 (SGH-i747M) are still on original 4.1.1 and since they have been working wonderful for me (if it ain't broke, don't fxt it, right?)...plus I don't do much with my phones.
After reading about the Heartbleed Vulnerability in 4.1.1, I'm thinking of updating to 4.1.2 instead of of the latest 4.4.2, but before I do that, can I get confirmation that:
1) from 4.1.2, I can go back to stock 4.1.1 100% for sure using Odin
2) Once updated to 4.3 or 4.4.2, there is NO way to go back to 4.1.1 due to both 4.3 and 4.4.2 have different bootloaders ?
3) if updated to 4.4.2 and since there is no way to downgrade to 4.1.1, the other option would be to use "CyanogenMod" as the last option, correct?
Thanks.

1) Yes, you can go back to stock 4.1.1 from stock 4.1.2 using Odin. I recommend doing this so you can take advantage of the free unlock method.
2) Yes, once updated to stock 4.3 or 4.4 bootloader, you cannot go backwards. Also, you can brick your phone if you attempt to load a 4.4 modem on a 4.3 bootloader.
3) CM ROMs must support your installed bootloader and modem.

Thanks audit13, you are great!:good:
For the 3) CM ROMs must support your installed bootloader and modem, I have all four Koodo 4.1.1/4.1.2/4.3/4.4.2 (pix attached), are these all OK for CM ROM?
Thanks.

Last time I checked, 4.1.2 bootloader worked fine with CM 10 and I think with CM11. Keep in mind that Cm10 had some issues with some apps and the front facing camera (never had an issue with Skype) as well as Bluetooth being flakey. Read up on it and try it out. You can always revert back to stock if it doesn't work out.

If you are concerned about Heartbleed you should check if 4.1.2 is vulnerable too. Its a pretty old build and i think we were already on 4.3 by the time it became a known vulnerability. I could be mistaken though, but you should check into it if that's a concern.

Some of the newer d2lte builds may need the latest bootloader to work. You can determine which bootloaders are supported by downloading the ROM, unzipping the ROM, and open the updater script in Notepad. The first few lines of the script will list the bootloaders that are supported.

How to Reinstall stock Begonia Miui

So Installed a custom ROM here but I don't like that some things arent just working properly (camera, call sound, Bluetooth connections...)
So is it possible to install the stock Miui, that is to revert to the stock OS and the get the updates from Miui?
Im sure people have posted this before but I cant find it or any guide for it.
Thank you in advance.

Glad I could help. What custom rom did you tried out? And what version of it?

Latest Pixel Experience, I like that it has no bloatware but it just has a lot of bugs.

If anyone has a problem where you cant use McDonald's app cuz of security issues, when flashing you need to lock the device.
