Flash the above PG05IMG_MR1_no_hboot.zip to restore everything to stock + OTA BUT still will have the s-off bootloader.
Rename PG05IMG_MR1_no_hboot.zip as PG05IMG.zip, and flash through hboot (like in the root guide).
To restore the bootloader, rename PG05IMG_hboot_1.4.0000.zip as PG05IMG.zip and flash through the bootloader. DO NOT FLASH THIS unless you are absolutely sure PG05IMG_MR1_no_hboot.zip flashed to your device, without issue.
Now you are done, enjoy. If you screwed up, and got a security warning contact me, don't stress. Then again, don't screw up.

Taken from AndroidPolice: [Tutorial] How To "Un-Root" The HTC ThunderBolt And Return It To Stock. Please check the site out.
One of the most popular questions about rooting the ThunderBolt is how to undo the process and return to stock, which renews your eligibility for customer support. Well, here you go:
Instructions:
Please read the whole tutorial first, and pay attention to every detail. Note that your battery needs to be charged to at least 40% at the beginning of the process, and remember to check the MD5 sums of all downloaded files before diving in. As always, neither Android Police nor Team AndIRC are responsible for any damage this may cause to your phone, and, needless to say, returning to stock means you will no longer be able to use root apps like ShootMe and Titanium Backup.
First, download the following files:
Stock firmware (MD5 sum: 7141f5620f6128af77d50587e341f4b0)
exploits.zip (MD5 sum: 3b359efd76aac456ba7fb0d6972de3af)
Next, push exploits.zip and misc.img.
Code:
adb push misc.img /data/local/
adb push busybox /data/local/
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/busybox
To gain root and flash misc.img:
Code:
adb shell
su
/data/local/busybox md5sum /data/local/misc.img
If the output is anything other than "c88dd947eb3b36eec90503a3525ae0de," stop and start over again.
Now let’s write misc.img:
Code:
dd if=/data/local/misc.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17
Rename "PG05IMG_Mecha_VERIZON_WWE_1.12.605.6_Radio_1.16.00.0223r_NV_8k_1.41_9k_1.64_
release_174685_signed.zip" to "PG05IMG.zip" before placing it on your SD card.
Finally, reboot into bootloader mode by entering the following command. Allow the stock firmware to flash.
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
You’re done – your phone should now be stock, S-ON.
Bookmarking this, just in case. Thanks, Jcase!
Looks like I'll be going back to Froyo for now. I believe the Sense in GB leak is older than the stock on the device.. plus.. camera doesn't work, weather in clock widget doesn't work.. quadrant score is pretty low.. As for now.. I don't see any solid reason to upgrade to GB.. (though I wish I did).. sigh!

First of all Jcase, thanks for the time, I know it's valuable to the community.
So just so I'm clear.... All I need to do is remove "hboot_7630_1.04.0000_110223.nb0" from the pre ota ruu or is there more to be altered than just that?
And if that's all I have to do is flash those seperate, could you tell me briefly why you could not just flash all at once? Would it not flash the rest of it if the stock hboot was installed first?

Yes, because some radios seem to cause the files to flash in different orders, doing it like this keeps me from having to make multiple versions.

Question I have used the oneclick program to get ride of the NV recovery but I think im still rooted because I still see my superuser program on my stock 2.2. Can I just download Rom Manager and use clockwork Recovery to flash the Zips? I have to stock recover now which just formats the phone pretty much.

Could someone please point me in the direction of where I can get the Evo 4G 4.22 stock recovery image?
Stock recovery is no recovery,what exactly are you looking for?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I am rooted and have CWM installed. I am looking to put back the stock 4.22 recovery so I may install the the 4.24 OTA update.
I like to keep my Rom stock and prefer to install updates via OTA.
If you take the 4.24 OTA you will no longer be "rooted" Look for one of the rooted ROMs and flash it
Yeah,what he said
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I am using the Unrevoked root method and no update (3.70,4.22) to date has unrooted my phone.
I have simply been restoring the current version of the stock recovery, which I have previously found on the internets, and then running the OTA update as normal. Once done I install CWM and the latest SU updates. Works great.
I would like to perfrom this method once agian to install the 4.24 update and all I need is the 4.22 stock recovery.
If you don't want to be rooted anymore, then just accept the OTA - it'll override your current recovery with the stock recovery, which is actually a lack of recovery.
But as others have said, you won't be able to root again unless you've ran unrevoked or unrevoked forever and remain s-off. In that case, you'll have to flash a recovery and then flash the rooted version. So if you want to stay rooted, you might as well go ahead and do that. You should be able to just wipe cache and dalvik and install, so the end result will be the same but you'll be rooted.
I hope that made sense...

You probably want this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133379
This is the actual update, but rooted, so you can keep your CWM recovery, get the latest update that was made OTA, but remain rooted. You don't want to just accept the OTA if prompted, your root will go away.
Once you've downloaded it (and the radio update as well), follow the instructions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14933526&postcount=31
Thats the problem. I cannot install the OTA 4.24 update with CWM installed, nor can I install the update manually, via renaming and then update method, as it will error out during install.
OTA updates will only install if the proper stock verion of recovery in installed, hence I really need the 4.22 recovery.
Installing OTA updates when using Unrevoked does not change S-OFF, it only overwrites SU which can be easily reinstalled. I know as I rooted my evo way back when it was version 3.26 using unrevoked 3 and have installed every OTA update since using this method and still have S-OFF
Thanks, but I do not need to go that route. My method will update as normal and I wont have to wipe my phone.

And you won't be rooted anymore. There are only about 3 thousand posts telling people this, and most AFTER they found out the hard way. There are stock Rooted ROMS based on the recovery, as in STOCK! but still rooted, and up to date.
BTW, there are also a lot of posts detailing how the OTA made their phones worse, but if you want to be a hard head, go ahead and bury yourself, but don't come back crying when you figure out.
how come every other incompetent noob can manage to get their phone back to stock and permanently locked/unrooted, yet I cannot manage this feat intentionally?
if I intentionally flash the 4.22 zip from shipped-roms will this eliminate my root and recovery?
well install the 4.22 update from recovery didn't work... it aborted with some error.
ARGHHH!!! SOMEONE HELP ME LOCK MY PHONE PLEASE!!!
I appreciate the heads up, but if done correctly, it does work and has worked great for me the past few OTA updates.
I am aware of all the potential problems and am not the only one successfully installing OTA updates on a rooted evo and staying rooted.

Bottom line is if you change back to S-ON, and apply the OTA you lose root forever (or until Unrevoked finds a new backdoor). If you leave S-OFF then you can downgrade, and reload a recovery. The stock ROM's you'll find here (ex. Sprint Lover's) are stock, and rooted. They pretty much the same thing you get over the air. Don't be a lid..
I downloaded a from shipped roms the last rom for my evo and downloaded the s-on tool. Ran the tool then connected my phone to the computer and ran the RUU i donloaded. Fully stock unrooted locked phone
I am a noob
First learn the correct terminology for what you are tying to achieve. There is no 4.22 recovery that you can just flash, there is a 4.22 ROM and a 4.22 RUU.
Then check out the WIKI and FAQs these both contain the info you are looking for .
Not trying to be mean. Just do some research before you mess up your phone and come here asking for stuff that doesn't exist.
4.22 ROM = just the ROM
4.22 RUU = .exe that runs on your PC to FLASH your PHONE with new radio, recovery, hboot, rom, etc

Well said
This is what you want to do to get to the latest OTA STOCK no root
* if you leave S-Off you can re-root *
How many of you have tried updating to a new firmware and you got the yellow exclamation mark?
Well, you probably have a combination of these modifications:
Custom Kernel
ClockworkMod Recovery
Rooted
If you have any of these, this is what you should do.
First, download and run this ONLY FOR INSTALLING/UNINSTALLING STOCK/CLOCKWORKMOD RECOVERY. - Thread
Read the instructions on how to boot into APX Mode.
Backup your /data with CWM.
After you have backed up your data, you should restore the STOCK ROM of your device.
When you get an update, it /should/ complete without any errors.
DO NOT DO ANYTHING TO THE ROM AT THIS POINT.
Alright. So at this point, you should have a completely stock, updated ROM.
Here are the next steps.
DO NOT ROOT YOUR ROM. DO NOT CHANGE A KERNEL.
Boot into APX Mode.
Make a backup of the STOCK Recovery. (Download From Linked Thread If You Haven't.)
Reboot into APX Mode.
Install ClockworkMod Recovery. (Using Brk's RootKit Script.) Once again. Without Rooting. Without changing the kernel.
Update ClockworkMod Recovery to 3.2.0.1. - Thread
Make a backup of EVERYTHING. (boot, system, data, cache, sd-ext).
After the backup is complete, you can ROOT and install a custom Kernel.
When You Get A New Update: DO NOT INSTALL. DO NOT POSTPONE.
Boot into ClockworkMod Recovery.
Restore the stock Boot.
Restore the stock System.
Boot into APX.
Restore stock recovery. (Using Brk's RootKit Script.)
Now everything should be back to stock.
Your data should still be intact.
When you apply the update, it should complete without a hitch.
Complete these steps again to be ready for the next update.
Cheers.
Thanks !! This did the trick for me. Had previously un-rooted and lost the update. Couldnt get it back until I did this !
I have a question.
I used the root method mentioned above a few weeks ago and everything went perfectly. I did not install CWM, only root.
I used the Netflix hack but managed to erase the original lib file.
I received the update and got the yellow exclamation point.
Last night I used BRK's pure root method and attempted to restore boot image and recovery image hoping it would return my lost lib file. I did not attempt to unroot.
When you mention "stock rom", where do I find the stock US rom?
I have an Epic 4G and run custom roms but I think the Transformer is fine and honestly don't care about root now that Netflix and ad-hoc appear to be working. I would like to end up with a stock Transformer that receives regular updates.
Is this the method for me, or something else?
Thanks

They have the NVFlash with 8.6.5.6. Has that changed since you advised me or should I do it in 2 steps?
Do I download the Asus Rom to the transformer or download to computer, then copy to SD card to install?
Now, I just noticed that 8.6.5.9US is available from Asus. Does this change my procedure?

When I NVFlashed to 8.6.5.6, I could not receive the update.
Since I used the file from Asus to update, it enabled FOTA somehow.
Anyways, the guide is the same.
If 8.6.5.6 is available, then you can NVFlash 8.6.5.6, then download and update to 8.6.5.9
Thank you.
I NVFlashed to 8.6.5.6 and wiped everything.
The FOTA arrived immediately and updated flawlessly.

Is this update even worth unrooting then root again?
it does fix the issue with browser shortcuts. You no longer have to rotate the screen.
I have not played with it. But it is said to allow Netflix and adhoc without root and patches. Those were the 2 reasons that I rooted.
Why jump through all these hoops?
Step 1: Download the clockworkmod update posted.
Step 2: Flash it.

Why do you want FOTA enabled?
Why be bothered when a release that won't work (without jumping through hoops) is available?
The whole point of installing CWM is that you're going to be managing your tablet rather than letting ASUS do it. If you're going to unroot, FOTA, and reroot every time, just leave it unrooted.
I had successfully update my transformer through OTA without doing all those steps. I just had to root it again after update is done.

You don't have to root to use CWM. FOTA won't work with CWM.

If you just rooted and did not make any changes to the system, then in theory, it should work. Depending on the root method.
I've been looking at the threads but so far I don't believe there's one that tells you what to do if you've actually installed the official OTA update?
I.e. I have an rooted 2.3.4 GT-I9023 with an unlocked bootloader. With no clockwork or anything, as to be honest the last time I used it (on my old HTC DHD) it made my phone unstable (the phone would sometimes boot up of its own accord and stop at the clockwork screen).
Does anyone know how to re-root the NS after it's installed the official OTA update without clockwork?
Thanks
Edit: Downloading the OTA update won't relock the boot-loader will it?

You cannot get root back without a custom recovery. OTA will not relock the bootloader, you'll just lose root and custom recovery.
You need to flash custom recovery using fastboot, then flash superuser to get root back. There are plenty of guides in the stickies describing the process.
Ok, so i'm updated to 2.3.6 but of course have lost root (never had CWM to begin with on this phone). Anyone know where I can DL CWM (i'm assuming it needs to be flashed via platform-tools directory in the android sdk per normal) and the latest su file?
EDIT: nvm, I found the latest CWM and successful flashed (my method was correct). However I've not been able to find the latest superuser.zip to flash yet. Also, I don't know why ppl say to use the market as I don't see how that method can work. I've already got superuser installed from before I updated but that doesn't help me get root. Only flashing the zip from recovery (as I understand it) would. Which renders the market useless in this regard.
/confused
The superuser app checks to see if you have the latest superuser binary and will download and instalk it. Or download superuser from within rom manager.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium
Ok..the binary update fails (because i don't have root) so it's chicken and egg as far as I can tell.
You where already told. Flash custom recovery via fastboot. Boot into it and flash su.zip Same way it was done prior to update to the ota. Same as it always was and will be.

Turn off signature verification in CWM and try again.

Turns out that CWM got overwritten by stock android recovery. Re-flashing CWM and then flashing su did the trick. I'm rooted once more!
Thanks for your help kind sir!
Curious as to how to make CWM stick for next time tho *shrug*

You're welcome.
If you stick with a stock ROM then recovery will reflash every time you reboot. To prevent this you can go to system>etc, and change the file install-recovery.init to something else like install-recovery.init.bak.
Hi folks! I have a Galaxy S4 GPE, rooted and unlocked, but stock otherwise. When I try to run the OTA update for 4.4.3, the phone reboots into TeamWin recovery and appears to start installing. The install errors out though. Can I not install the OTA update because I'm rooted? If so, would reverting the rooting allow me to install? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

Is there a thread on how to do that? I seem to remember when I installed this recovery tool to root the phone, it wiped everything. Is it going to do that again? Because I don't want to have to keep wiping my phone every time a new Android update comes out just to be rooted.

I went through that method, and it's essentially the same thing, except that I'm downloading the actual update file myself and not letting Android handle it. Needless to say it didn't work. I also updated my TWRP to 2.7.1.0 and tried; no luck. I also uninstalled SuperSU to see if removing root would help. It didn't.

It's the problem of no read for be vague. It worked perfectly on the GPE of my sister. The update that appears in the website is ready for install it through custom recovery. Read all the guide:
