If you're talking about the official update from HTC, you'll have to unroot/get back to stock to update. No one knows when or if that update will come.
As far as custom gingerbread ROMs go, all you'll need to do is a nandroid backup through recovery, wipe, and flash. Shouldn't be any problem there, and if there is you can just restore from your backup.
Just make sure you've read up on the ROM you want to flash so there won't be any surprises when something is incompatible. Also know that there aren't any Sense ROMs on GB yet, so if you're not used to AOSP, you should familiarize yourself with the differences.

Ok thank you, Im happy with my phone as it right now. Until then I just wait for updates.

How did you get the custom fresh rom?

Download Rom manager in market. Or search if on google. Type custom Rom for what phone you have.

I know you might think I am mad to want to un root but this is because I want to just get read of the orange stuff. If the flashed Rom is stock HTC will I get ota updates like everyone else would normally?

You can have s-off and stock ROM without root. S-off and root are not the same thing. Also, I believe you can be s-off with unrooted stock ROM and get official OTA's if you have the stock recovery. And to more directly answer your question, if you are running a rooted stock ROM (with stock recovery), you should be able to get OTA's but they might break root. That would be an easy fix since you would retain s-off and could just flash cwm and use that to flash su.

Stock recovery meaning nandroid back up of a stock rom?

If you want to go back to 100% but unbranded, you need to:
1. Write Super CID to the phone (see the S-Off guide in the Dev forum for details)
2. Flash the RUU you wish to use (either 1.45.401.3 of 1.73.401.4)
3. Write the stock CID to the phone (stock = HTC__001)
4. Then S-ON, again using the S-OFF guide
The phone will now bee 100% stock and unbranded. I'd personally stick to the non-XE ROMs as the OTA's will work without issues, can't comment on the XE RUU

stock ics release rooted

My brother wants to update to the newly released htc sensation ics rom without losing his root access... he doesnt want to try any of the custom roms... is there any way to do that?

Yeah, you can flash the official update via recovery and then use rooting tools to root it. Look in the Dev section.

How to return to branded stock rom?

Hi everyone,
First of all i am selling my dhd due to an upgrade to One X hopefully i have been looking for a t mobile branded rom i looked at shipped-rom.net and have found it. I searched for t-mobile rom and it on a android forum a person had wrote this "I have a HTC Desire HD on T-Mobile Uk 2.3.3 software 2.37.110.5 CL58702". On a XDA i also found this "This is gingerbread info for the T-Mobile UK Android Ver - 2.3.3
HTC Sence - 2.1
Baseband 12.54.60.25u_26.09.04.11_m2* Kerel ver - 2.6.35.10.g3bf3222* Build no - 2.37.110.5 cl58702 Software no -* 2.37.110.5*
This helped me narrow my search with which rom to choose on shipped roms.net because there where alot of stock roms for dhd(ace).
Now i need to know what to do next i dont mind losing any info on my phone as i am going to be using mybackup pro. But the question is now i have found the stock rom what next? i rooted the device through ace hack kit and i am now using rcmix3d so what do i do next to flash the rom and when i do flash the rom will everything be original or will i still have to also change the kernal and radio as they are too both not of stock. When i do go back to stock i want everything to be the same but i want the phone to be unlocked to all networks and OTA after i get stock back will i have to use goldcard then go onto ace hack kit and instead of rooting just to tick the unlock button and on that same application when you root you have s-off when returining to stock how should i have s-on. When going back to stock shall i put s-on when should i do it ? an easy guide or tutorial would help

This is btw the wrong section for this kind of questions, and also be answered in other threads!
You need to flash the stock rom, just as you flash other ones.
S-on do you have to do with another program, not with hack ace kit, because that one installs a rom from himself, and after that s-on.
Ultimate Multi Tool is suitable to set s-on.
Kernel and radio are in rom, so only thing you have to do is flash stock rom, and then S-on and if you had eng off also that S eng-on.

Do i flash the stock rom then eng-on and s-on or the other way round.
