I'm rooted with s-off on Nils' Business Sense. What is the simplest way to receive the latest OTA while keeping Tether and staying debloated? Right now, it won't install after downloading.

I want to "reformat" my phone and prefer going back to original instead of dealing with more roms. Should I just find and follow a "back-to-stock" guide?

your best bet is to wait for nils to incorporate the update into his rom. then you can simply flash it in recovery,and install the matching firmware in hboot. :)

going back to stock and allowing an actual ota will not give you any advantage over waiting for a version to flash in recovery.

Thanks. I've been wanting to "reformat" my phone and start fresh for a while. Now my search function won't open any links and I feel like my email was hacked through my phone. Even if it wasn't, that's how I'll feel until I wipe it. So do you have any recommendations that I don't need to wait for? Thanks scotty.

sorry,not really... im not at all a fan of older sense,so ive run cm 10.1 on my rezound since it became stable enuff to do so.

some searching on xda should provide you with some alternate stockish roms based on 4.05.605.14 that you can use to freshen things up :)
