[Q] flashing the new OTA ?

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.

[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.

thanks you made my day

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

Whatever Rom version is shown in "about" e.g. 1.26, 1.28, 1.29 , then this is the recovery version you need

[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.

is there any other way then to update the ota updates?

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.

i have HTC one x which is rooted and unlocked boot loader but i checked for updates after i got it unlocked and rooted , there was a new update i downloaded it and tried to install when i restart the update should be installed but every time i click restart to update the device restarts but dose not install the updates instead the device boot into TWRP recovery screen, so my question is how can i install the official updates? or is there is a way to install them manually using TWRP Recovery screen?

Is your rom still stock ? (No apps deleted) then you need the stock recovery.
What software number are you on now
2.17, 3.14 or even higher ?

Flash this recovery back and try to update again
http://db.tt/C1SWP2ZJ

what would this file do exactly? will it relock the boot or unroot
sorry im new in all of this so basically i know nothing

No you need the stock recovery (HTC) because the custom recovery that we use to flash roms is not capable of handling official update files from htc.
This will not lock the bootloader, it will only replace the custom recovery so that you are able to install the OTA update.

worked and updated thanks for the help

No problem ! :thumbup:
CASE CLOSED !

BUT it unrooted the phone so i had to root it again, no biggie

Yeah thats normal ! But indeed no biggie....enjoy the day

[Q] HTC One X Help Required

hi,
I just want to ask some noob questions, as I don't play around my set so much.
1) First of all, do I have to be on stock recovery to check for updates also ?
2) I rooted my phone using Hasoon's Toolkit and installed TWRP Recovery (didn't install a custom rom yet, on stock 4.1.1), but made a backup before flashing recovery. Do i have to flash stock RUU to come again to stock, or I can flash the backup I made before flashing the recovery ?
3) How i can find my stock RUU, my CID is TMOB_005.
Regards,
Kashif Rafiq

100+ views no reply, no one is ready to help ?
Can anyone with same CID confirm, whether update recieved or not ?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

You can receive OTA updates if you have the following; stock recovery, stock rom, locked or unlocked bootloader.
I don't know where the RUU is for your CID but I'm sure there is a thread with it in somewhere.

Since u haven't flash a custom Rom you are stock, u just need to flash back the stock recovery and wait for tmobile to release the update. No need to relock.

I have downloaded stock recovery for my CID (TMOB-005), will executing these commands in fastboot mode restore stock status

correct

And just to answer your other question, save the backup you made in twrp onto your computer in case you need it later, this is your nandroid. Then if you install a custom Rom and need to go back to stock at some time you just need to flash the boot.img from your backup and then flash your nandroid in recovery
Now go get the cakes

i've flashed the stock recovery, but after flashing when i try to go into recovery it shows red triangle with exclamation mark

is this the stock recovery, with no options of backup and restore (i haven't seen this before) ??? strange

anyone with CID TMOB-005 confirm whether update received or not ?

Nothing yet, we'll be one of the last carriers to get it as always...
