How can we unroot without having to replace the system image?
Just an FYI to everyone, it's not root that will stop the OTA from updating on its own, it's a custom recovery. The OTA requires your phone to have the stock recovery. If you installed ClockworkMod Recovery, then you have to get back to stock using the RUU. That can be found here:

If you only acheived S-OFF with the Revolutionary tool and never installed a custom recovery, then you can go ahead and apply the OTA update and not worry about losing S-OFF. You can then load a custom recovery and gain root access by following the instructions here:

I hope this helps out anyone that has questions.
And I know this process works, because I had to do it to apply the update.

Thanks. That's what I had thought. How do I backup SMS/MMS with Titanium Backup? Also, does it restore the MMS attachments?
I have now flashed the stock recovery. The OTA boots in to the stock recovery and begins installing, however it gets about halfway and then stops with a red triangle and exclamation mark displaying on the screen.

I got it to work by doing a nandroid restore back to a point before I rooted. Going to now try and restore the data.img from a more recent nandroid backup.
EDIT: The restore of data.img worked. So just to recap; I flashed back to a nandroid backup I took before I had rooted so that I had my ROM in an unrooted state. Then I flashed a stock recovery. Once I had done this, the OTA update applied without any problems. I then flashed CWM recovery and restored data.img from a recent backup. Doing this has restored all of my SMS/MMS, Apps+Data.

I ran the RUU and did the update and it worked. Then I used your method of flashing CWM recovery and restoring data.img from a recent backup. Worked like a charm! Thanks. Now just gotta do the boot animations over again.
Just a quickie...
Done a nandroid backup from within 4EXT recovery of my phone, which is stock 2.3.4, as I'm tempted to give one of the ICS custom roms a go.
These require flashing the ICS firmware before installing the custom ROM.
If I go back via the nandroid restore from recovery, does this restore the firmware or would that need re-flashing first?
No, it does not.

No it will not restore firmware, but if you keep a library of firmware on your SD card you can install as you need from recovery. Rename the PG58IMG files with a reference to the firmware so you don't get muddled up, then rename to PG158IMG as you need.
