I can't handle another ugrade now unless I can avoid a data wipe right now, but the my phone is rooted and and I have to get rid of those constant upgrade nags before I end up throwing it! I have ClockworkMod Recovery installed, and am wondering if this can unlock my phone (it was used to root it when I could not get ADB drivers working on my laptop). Is there really no good way to do this without another data wipe (I haven't had to find out how good or bad Titanium really is on recovery, but so far what I've tried has left way too much to be desired and wasted way too much time)?

Couple ways to deal with this. I gathered from your other thread that you restored to 4.1.1 stock but are still rooted with cwm. So one option is to flash either a 4.1.1 rom or a 4.2.2 rom which should take care of the nag although to be safe, you'll probably want to wipe everything before installing so you'd have to set up the phone again.
The other option is to edit the build.prop using a root capable file explorer. What you are doing in this instance is to trick the updater into thinking you're already on the newest version (4.2.2) so it shuts up the nag. I'll list the instructs using Root Explorer:
1.) Navigate to /system/build.prop
2.) Make sure you're in read/write mode in Root Explorer
3.) Long press on build.prop > open with > text editor
4.) Find the line that starts "ro.build.fingerprint..." and start editing after /mysid/ so that it ends up reading toro:4.2.2/JDQ39/125147:user/release-keys. All the rest of the line stays the same.
5.) When done, press menu > save and exit
6.) Reboot phone and profit
