Have you ever rooted your phone before? If so how did you unroot?

Hey everyone,
So after dealing with Verizon tech support as well as htc's team, i'm turning to xda. I have found one other dead thread with no answers about my situation. Which htc want's me to send my phone to them for 10 days, or i can get a "like new" replacement from verizon, neither of those really work for me.
I bought my HTC one in November from Best Buy. The day i got it, i was able to update immediately to 4.2.2. Since then, 4.3 has rolled out, and 4.4 started rolling yesterday.
When i check for updates, I click Check New, it says checking, then the dialog box goes away. It doesn't say, "your device is up to date" or
"here is the latest software" It just disappears. I've even factory reset and still nothing.
Things you should know:
Completely stock, unrooted, no software modifications at all.
Please help!
thanks
Nick

unrooted you mean you removed root or you never rooted it?
Why don't you want to get a replacement one?
Never rooted. And I don't want a certified like new replacement. My phone is pretty much brand new. Perfect condition. Verizon's certified like new have been known to be less than stellar

well if you turned to XDA to repair it I guess your prepared to get s-off and unlock your bootloader to manually install the OTA updates ..
You should start in the Verizon One forums here >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2417043

yes i'm prepared to do that. But that's just the issue, in the thread you linked me, verizon has blocked the method of getting s-off. i haven't found anything else successful. I'm very experienced in rooting motorola phones, just have never tried an htc, and here is incredibly different.

Thanks a ton. And if I remember right... I need to go to 4.3 first then 4.4.2 right? I'm assuming it's in the guide. But I'm on my one now and can't view it at the moment I will leave thanks when I get back fyi a computer... And reply with how it went so others can use it too
Hey,
So I was going to update my Phone to 4.4 KitKat.. This is a AT&T Phone. I've tried to update the phone twice through the check for updates section on the phone and both time it failed with this error message.
The phone was previously rooted and then the rooting was broken by an AT&T update so although I still get the Custom message when the phone boots up it's not rooted currently.. Do I have to roll this phone back to a unrooted version of the Firmware before I can do the update? If so can someone point me in a direction for instructions on doing that?
Thanks
Yes, from what I understand you have to go back to stock, or flash a leak.

Yep, you are stuck until the full 4.4.4 SBF is released for your carrier. Shouldn't have done that.
Who is your carrier? If it is AT&T, you are in luck! The 4.4.4 SBF was just released. If not....bummer - you will have to wait. Can't flash a ROM with a different CID with a locked BL.
I highly suggest you don't attempt to manually force the older rom. Really, beyond the fact that you flashed the wrong ROM, how did you miss all the warnings that downgrade = brick?
Tough situation to be in. Hopefully you have an AT&T unit. If so, we can help get you fixed up.
Well, I have solved it Unlocking my Bootloader and then reinstalling the rom 4.4.4 retail from Brazil. It works now.
I have a question, now I am in Brazil but I am from Perú, and when I try to change the APN for the one I use in Perú, it deletes itself, so I can not change the APN or create a new one because i can not save it. What is the problem in there?
My phone was Nextel operator, then I unlock it, never had a problem.
Hope your help.
Thanks!
Just bought an at&t variant on craigslist, I did a factory reset and tried to run the 5.1 update and I get an error updating, it downloads update.. then it reboots and starts installing showing the android guy working , then about 20 seconds into it it shows the little android guy on his back with a red exclamation and says error and then proceeds to reboot. Once rebooted it says it failed to update. I'm used to Samsung phones .. hoping there's an odin type option to get a stock 5.1 or rooted stock 5.1 on this guy, any headstart info would be appreciated. thanks
Here is the AT&T 5.0.2 firmware:
http://www.filefactory.com/file/1cekivswpakf/VICTARA_ATT_XT1097_5.0.2_LXE22.46-34_cid1_CFC.xml.zip
If you want to unlock your bootloader or root your phone don't upgrade yet! While you still have 5.0.2, root is possible with mofo and unlocking the bootloader can be done with sunshine. After you upgrade to 5.1 you can't downgrade nor root it. If you unlock it now and root it now, then you can keep root when you go to 5.1. But if you go to 5.1 before that you are screwed and lose the ability to do it forever.
We don't use odin. We have a tool called RSDLite. Search for it on these forums and you will find it and instructions on how to use it.

thanks for the heads up.. Glad I decided to wait and not try to figure out that update.. then not be able to root.
thanks
So basically my dad got this phone in the USA, its a T-Mobile version.
Thing is he sent it to a mobile shop and they "unlocked" and I can tell its rooted (superSU something)
But basically when I try to update it to Android 6.0 it tells me that Software status is modified and thats all ok cause I read that you cant update your software when you update. SO, basically, I'm wondering how can I update it when rooted and if thats not possible, can I unroot it somehow, update and have it still remain unlocked?
Thanks in advance.
