[Q] flashing the new OTA ? - HTC One X

So I just flashed my phone for the first time yesterday with a new rom and now I want to try the official OTA 1.28. How can I do that ? Should I flash the official 1.28 rom using the CWM recovery ?
Thanks

As you have Clockwork installed you cannot update OTA. If you want the 1.28 update now then you would need to relock your bootloader, flash the 1.26 RUU and then update OTA.
Otherwise you will just have to wait for the devs to update there roms with the new base.

Also waiting for an answer, im thinking maybe flashing a stock then relocking the bootloader should do it?
Annoying is it not!

Ok so i think i'll wait for the devs to update their roms. ty for your answer

Yep Bronco (mod for CWM thread) has confirmed
-reflash stock recovery
- relock
- restore RUU
you can still unlock and reflash CWM after that so I'm gonna do that, as long as I got my titanium its not too bad, just a bit lengthy

Be patient - within 48 hours we should start seeing custom roms with the 1.28 baseband

Sorry but could you define: refash stock recovery?

The above info is incorrect. You do not need to flash the stock recovery as the RUU will do this anyway. So just relock bootloder and run the RUU.

OTA w/ root and CWM

if you have a rooted and CWM (unlocked BL) but running stock HOX
Can you still use an OTA safely?
Or do you have to reflash stock recovery?
Or also relock?
Finally I assume clear cache/dalvik?
OTA not out for me yet but asking in advance

Start unlocking bootloader and download update again (press check update).
Maybe a stupid question, but where can I find the stockrecovery? I made a nandroid, but that happened also with CWM...

You don't need to install the backup.You make a nandroid backup in case something goes wrong.After that you take this recovery:
http://mirror.rawempire.org/baadnewz/recovery.img
After this you can update to 1.29.After you updated to 1.29 you have to reflash CWM and after that reflash the Super SU.You don't need to install you'r backup.

[SOLVED]update OTA without relocking the bootloader

dear XDA members ,,, as i got a lot of solutions in this form and i see the OTA updates are making problems for many users ,,, here is the solution for people who unlocked the bootloader and installed CWM recovery ......
ON STOCK ROM ...
1- you dont need to relock the bootloader ..
2- download voodoo rootkeeper .. (from market) and run the program and click protect root.
3- you will need your original recovery that you changed to CWM ..
example: if you had 1.28.415.9 and you installed CWM then you need recovery.img for 1.28.415.9 .
install the stock recovery from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24738635#post24738635
4-install recovery.img from fastboot ..
5-boot into phone and OTA update the one x to 1.29.xxx .
6-after update is done just open rootkeeper and click restore root ,,
7-DONE
a big thanks for xda members and im happy to help ...
Nice m8

Actually I never really had to relock the bootloader to apply an OTA... just flashing the stock recovery and keeping the unlocked bootloader + rooted custom ROM did the trick for me... Tho its not a really good idea to install an OTA patch on top of a custom ROM.
i added ( FOR STOCK ) what i know if you have custom rom you wont receive OTA ... will you ???!!!! ... my solution is about if you are still on Stock ...
if you search google youll see people talking about locking the bootloader and removing root and all kind of crap ...
...since the radio is part of the rom now and the only "advantage" of flashing a RUU is an hboot update.
So what is the "advantage" of an newer hboot? If someone finds an exploit on the 0.43 hboot which is fixed on newer hboots you gonna cry (-:
So my advice..stay on lowest hboot until we get S-OFF.
I also didn't have to relock my bootloader.
Just restored my default back up with cwm before root. Fastboot restore to original recovery (stock), update and done. Went back to fastboot and restored cwm, rooted the phone and done.

May I post this in the HOS Section ? Thanks
What i did was flashed stock recovery, downloaded and installed the update done, that's all i did and root was intact, that was like last month
I'm still haven't issues installing the OTA update.
I followed your instructions and I still get the red triangle error
EDIT:
just did some fishing, and it's because my stock rom is so heavily modified that the OTA won't update anything
hi, quick check, do i still need to flash back CWM or it will include back CWM?

the OTA will not include CWM, as CWM is not stock.

Forgive me for the noob question but how would one find out which stock recovery was on phone before I flashed cwm. Didn't take note before hand

[Q] Update 1.29

Hi all,
I unlocked my boot loader and flashed clockworkmod Recovery V5.8.2.7.
I just received the update from HTC:
1.28.720.10 to 1.29.720.10 for Asia India. When clicking on the file to update, the phone reset itself and the clockworkmod recovery screen appeared with an error.
So I was unable to update the phone.
I have uploaded a screenshot with all the info.
The phone is an HTC One X unlocked version bought from amazon (Made in India)
I am not sure what other information is required so if you need anything just let me know and I will update.
You need to flash a stock recovery prior OTA update. The update will fail with a CWM recovery installed.

I think you also have to re-lock your phone after restoring your stock recovery.

Flash a custom rom instead. Most devs have all the latest OTA updates in there builds anyway. As soon as a new OTA update is available then the Devs will update there roms.

If you would like to stay with stock kernel and ROM, there is no other way.
Even if you choose to flash a custom ROM, you will need to do these steps anytime you would like to go back to stock ROM delivered in the form of an RUU.
See this thread for installing RUU's after custom ROM
Can you recommend a decent guide how to flash a custom rom and a good custom rom to use.
Thank you all for your quick responses.

You can find what's available in this sticky thread.
As for recommending, I would suggest you check out the OP pages for different ROMs and read up on the latest posts in each thread. This will give you an idea on what the ROM looks like, the features it supports and the level of support you will be getting for each ROM.

NO. Your phone should have the original recovery on it and, if it's unlocked, it has to be relocked to get the RUU to install.
ok, my phone has s-off, so i will look into it.

So you are among the lucky few. Hats off to you.
I don't know what it's like to have s-off but normally install stock recovery before rellocking. Otherwise, you will be stuck.

How did you revert to stock to use ota? I've been using mikes stock rom on my brothers hox but it always shows no updates. Can you please explain the procedure in detail, what rom were you running before updating and what you did to update?
His cid is VODAP021, phone bought at vodafone but optus sim is inside.

Well you find a RUU for your HTC device and use that. You must have stock recovery.

New all that already but thanks anyway. Thought there was something else. It's kinda difficult to go back to stock since the right ruu for my brothers phone is only hosted on filefactory and requires a premium account. If someone has this ruu: RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_S_Voda-Hutch_AU_2.17.862.2_Radio_2.1204.135.20_release_275359_signed.exe and could provide a no-premium-account-needed link, that would be most helpful.

I use mike's roms too, I think he blocks the update option so you don't even see it.
1. Download the Nandroid Backup form here. And install it via recover/ touch recovery.
2. Install stock recovery via fastboot, I used the Stock HTC Recovery 1.26-1.29 (wasn't sure which one mine was to start with) get the download also from here.
3. Relock bootloader Via HTC DEV
4. Now you have everything stock, do OTA via the setup/abouts/update menu.
5. Unlock bootloader Via HTC DEV
6. Install Touch Recovery
7. Install mike's roms
