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.

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.

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.

If you're doing OTA, you need stock ROM (rooted is ok, modded maybe not) and stock recovery.
fastboot flash recovery signed_recovery.img
If you're doing RUU, you need to be locked.

You seem to have some form of learned helplessness. What part of my previous post don't you understand? Are you doing OTA or RUU? What specific errors do you have?
At least help us to help you.

You said you were rooted right? You have to go the other route. I hadn't rooted or anything yet (got mine 2 days ago) so I was able to do the RUU update. Do you have stock or custom recovery? Sorry, I am just learning HTC myself. I have my PhD in Samsung devices

clockwork recovery isn't the stock recovery. is your bootloader unlocked?
first you need the fastboot files -> Number 2 of this thread
save them to a folder e.g. C:\fastboot
then download the right RUU an follow this thread.
or try this thread.
important is that you have the right RUU matching to your cid. Just read through the forum about flashing stock/costum roms and you will automatical learn how to do this.
Does any one know How I can install JB? I have unlocked and installed custom room. I relocked the phone but can't return to stock as there is no ruu available for my software version. I have the ota update on my phone but when I try to install it doesn't work.
Ideas?

There is a thread in here (it's quite new) somewhere on backups for different versions, which you might be able to install.
There is another thread on using an older RUU, extracting the ROM and boot.img, and installing them (I think).
Ultimately you want to get to 2.17, 2.18 was unofficial, so I suspect the OTA will only apply to 2.17.
Edit: I might be making that up, maybe 2.18 was official.

I think The OTA is official, its from HTC and i downloaded to my phone ota. It was my phone that adviused me on the update The version is 3.18.751 on the update. Every time i try to load the update it goes to the fastboot screen and wont let me install the update.
2.18.751 is official, release not long after 2.17 OTA. It contained small fixes for taiwan chungwa's One X. If I am not wrong, it doesn't update hboot and recovery version, affecting ROM only.
For OP:-
Best options was using your nandroid backup.
OR
Grab the firmware.zip inside 3.14.751.20's OTA, then flash it like how they did to .401.
OR
There are a custom RUU that can help you convert your phone to taiwan unbranded CID (709) then receive 3.14.709.20 OTA. Your CID will change to HTC_621. You will need unlock bootloader for this method.

I flashed the recovery image off the OTA update. Im now in 3.14.751.20
I will say i made an error and luckily i didn't brick my phone.
Bacislly i followed the steps from the link above on the video placeing the the official images in the relevant folders instead of custom ones.
I didn't place the correct files on my SD so after doing perm root the phone was locked on a screen(never seen it before so dont know what to call it). Then i realised i hadn't put the files on sd luckily when i reset the phone it turned on and then i downloaded the update and it installed perefctly.
but the used the official recovery/ boot images etc.

Thanks alot!
(and will this make my phone able to get the next update if one will get out too? I mean - is it stock rom?)

Ok do you have 2.18.751? If you have this version I can give you the update as I have it on pc. Its 3.14.751.20. I just have to work out how to upoad it to xda site.
I woulnt follow my steps exactly as I'm lucky I didn't damage my phone.
The up date has firmware.zip that contains boot.img, recovery.img etc. Follow the instructions Hansen toolkit video on the link. I flashed the HTC recovery and boot image. Then went to perm root my phone. It was on a screen I don't know what to call and was stuck there as I didn't flash other recoveries like cwm etc.. I then rebooted by power&vol and downoaded update again and it instaled. Note my phone automatically advised of the OTA if yours hasn't then there is something different.
I would highly recommend NOT to following my steps. Follow tookit video. That should get you there.
It is the official update from HTC so it should allow future updates.

Thanks guys.
Finally I went the other way... I was trying so hard to do this that soon I realized that I will be getting a custom ROM in a matter of time. But I usually use Stocks Modded ROMs so I did this.
Relocked the boot loader.
Flashed Firmware.zip from the OTA 3.14.751 from OTA.ZIP file. My word here is USE THE FIRMWARE FOR YOUR CID!!! ONLY THAT ONE
Flashed CWM 5.8.4.0 Recovery (i had an old one).
Downloaded Custom ROM (tried 2 in two days so far. same procedure, ARHD and InserCoin)
Flashed Boot.img from that custom ROM.
Went to Recovery, install ZIP from SDcard. and Flashed the custom ROM.
Preety Neat I must say.
Enjoying performance from JB... Photo CAM is insanely FAST
Thanks to Everyone. XDA Is a great place to find info but it could be messy some times.

Shelby5, Can you please send me the link to the video? and yes, that IS my version, and I've been notified of the update - but because of my modded rom couldn't install it.
JB requires a newer hboot, no? mine currently has 1.12, and I've understood that it requires 1.33, so does it cover that too?
Thanks!
about the ZIP file - is it the one that your device downloaded OTA to install? cause if so - I got that one. and if not - I'd appreciate if you can upload it even to dropbox or something for the day and tomorrow so I can download it
Noodlez I can do it for you later Today. Ill msg you later with details.

Install the 320.401.3 OTA file in a CUSTOM recovery. Then install the 4.18.401.2 OTA file in the CUSTOM recovery. Then relock the bootloader and flash the firmware.zip that is located inside the 4.18.401 OTA.
Fastboot oem lock
Fastboot rebootRUU
Fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
Then you are on full stock 4.18.401.2 with hboot 1.72

I am little new for hox in this, so don't mind and just take some of my questions in general please if looks common :
Would appreciate not to be much techy if possible, just in simple please would be very nice ...
After I get the final(I guess) update 4.2.2 of hox in India soon, I am then going to unlock and root so just want to clarify few things :
1) I want to know if I do boot loader unlock, "just boot loader unlock" then what advantages can I get ? [you can please just reply in I can do this, this n this (will be easy for me to catch things please)]
2) is it needed to be done just to flash recovery like cwm (like using the hasoon 2000's great tool) ?! If I flash recovery I know I can root by pushing su zip file by cwm ( I can catch that) But will I lose ota ?
3) I've heard there's another way like "adb push" the super user apk to /system/app then I can have a root . How to do that?! As I would want to do this if I won't lose the ota and if I lose ota the recovery way . (Sorry if I am mixed up. but your great help will clear me a lot)
You can ignore if you want to the above questions I asked. As all I want is to unlockbootloader and get root and still have everything stock and get the otas if any patch fixes comes in future by htc you never know , I don't want to run after loosing stock and then finding stock files and trying to put them back in to get those updates .
Would be so happy and would highly appreciate the help from such amazing people, Love n Respect Xda~!
if you unlock bootloader you lose all data, and if you root and install custom recovery you lose ota. but you can install a nandroid backup, stock recovery and stock boot.img and get back ota. so everything can be reversed. if you decide to root and install custom roms etc, please make a nandroid backup so you can get back to stock easily. and as you say you can use hasoon2000's toolkit to do all of this.

Thank you for kind reply . You said root and install custom recovery, well if I can root first (just on stock) after bootloader unlock then I don't need any custom recovery or roms. Please tell me how?! I just want root after bootloader unlock without loosing any stock recovery so I don't lose ota . Possible ?!
Other thing can't I after bootloader unlock install supersu file with stock recovery and I guess then all will be fine n I can still keep getting otas as well I guess?! Sorry I never used stock recovery so just asking . I know it comes with power n volume down key .

So what are the steps like
1) which nandroid app to use for backup and when to use at right time, like after unlocking bootloader or when?!
2) And then how to just root without custom recovery? (or if I want to root I need to have a custom recovery too?!)
3) And how to reverse ?
Please tell me

He has already read hasoon's thread if you look in the first post. And to be honest , if you have read hasoon's guide and still asking questions I would advise not to do anything as you are quite probably going to have problems, sorry

Wow Awesome! So I do bootloader unlock and flash cwm recovery and install super user file for root from cwm and I will still get otas right like you did ?! And by htc sense you mean the 4.2.2 update?! Just give me a yes on this please if its all correct ....
Any specific cwm recovery or any will do ?

Yes, you can get the official updates and can be installed by itself for the just app update (as APK files) even if you rooted.
but OTA update zip file( rom update) cannot be intalled by itself, so if you want to install that kind of file you need relocked & stock recovery.
But there is a way no need relocked & stock recovery is OTA zip can be installed by custom recovery "philz_touch_5.11.2-endeavoru" but the rom must be surely pure stock rom.In that way of update is just upgrading the rom only and your Hboot cannot be upgraded.

Awesome man I guess I got your point too, that as I have no other choice to lose the stock recovery as I will have to flash cwm recovery or any other to push the su for root, so then I just saw on hasoon's toolkit that there is an option to flash "your own recovery", where I then can download the stock recovery from the link you gave me first and put that file with the software and it will install it back for me... right ?! if yes then awesome!!

I don't think that HOX will get 4.3 update from htc so there is no need for stock recovery. There are very little chances thay we get 4.3 jelly bean on HOX just flash custom recovery and enjoy sense 5.

Oh I get it I cannot get major update like 4.2.2 though, if I don't do the philz_touch_5.11.2-endeavoru way but again there's a drawback for hboot.
But I guess I can manage to flash this way >> unlock bootlaoder>> flash cwm>> push su>> enjoy>> if new update comes then flash stock recovery back and update .
Need to learn how will I easily flash the stock recovery back as the hasoon2000 3rd post is confusing me a bit ..
But Wow simply Amazing answers man, great thread... it can help so many for a great start ..... even for future htc devices I guess .

mmm kartik I don't think virgolib will agree to that getting 4.2.2 aswell which I guess is being referred to rom update .
So kartik you didn't even first did the back-up to stock and even without that u got the sense update still, right that's what you are saying ?
But the thing is for virgolib that kartik did got the 4.2.2 update too being in cwm recovery
You flash stock recovery the same way as you will the custom, it will overwrite it.

oh ya got it sorry
1- unlock bootloader and install custom recovery.
2- install the zip file of rom.
3- push superuser file via cwm
4- go to fastboot mode download stock recovery from here-
http://www.androidrevolution.nl/downloader/download.php?file=Flash_recovery_4.18.401.2.rar push it via adb - fastboot flash recovery path name of recovery
5- now you have pure stock rom in your hox rooted too but with stock recovery. Enjoy your hox with sense 5
