Dear frens,
I've rooted my HOX and unlocked bootloader. However, I still use stock rom and kernel.
My question is, can I update the software straight away without unroot back my phone? Some of my frens told me that once you unroot your phone, you cannot update your software even though u r still using the stock rom. Is it true?
Please advise.
Thanks, guys.

You will have to relock your bootloader and flash stock recovery to perform the ota. Some people recommend unrooting first before doing an ota just incase there's any problems

As you are on stock there is no need to relock your bootloader so long as you are doing the update via OTA (over the air) i.e from your handset.
you will however need to flash stock recovery before doing the update.

As long as your device has the stock ROM, yes you will receive the OTA update even it is unlocked.
To successfully install the OTA, you need the stock recovery.

Yes, if there is an update for your device. Make sure you enable all the apps that you disabled if you did that before. If you did not disable any app, then you are good to proceed the update
Hi guys i'm waiting for the official jb update from htc but something cross my mind. I have an unlocked rooted stock rom. Updating from 4.0.3 to 4.0.4 isn't a problem at all because i still have all the bloat application intact and recover root using rootkeeper. However how about updating from ics to jb? Do i need to relock my bootloader? Any answer will be appreciated

If you have the stock recovery installed you do not need to relock
If flashing an ota update you only need to have stock recovery installed

RElock the flash firmware then unlock the install the rom
Nah i'm not gonna install custom jb rom so i think i don't have to install firmware. Official ota will also include the firmware right? I'm just concerned that unlock bootloader will mess up the ota update to jellybean because of the firmware inside the ota

Just run a non rooted stock rom backup.flash custom recovery and your good to go to flash the official JB update when it comes out. No need to lock the bootloader. It just updates the hboot and prob radio version. After that you can flash back custom recovery and also run a older ics rom ( nandroid )
Correct me if i'm wrong, here to read & learn

Hi today i want to update my kind of outdated htc one x.
I rooted my HOX like 3 years ago because i had it sim-locked and wanted a different provider. I unlocked it and than (i cant remember why) relocked it and now unlocked it again. Because i want to install a custom rom.
I looked for some roms and deciced i wanted to run Viper X (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2087443) which runs on Android 4.2.2. I'm on Android 4.0.4 Sense 4.1 because i havent used this phone for a while.
I can't find any proper guides i tried this one : http://wccftech.com/update-htc-one-x-to-cm10-1-android-4-2-2/ but getting a error status 7.
Any help appreciated!
Oh and im only on hboot 1.12

Return to your stock rom & recovery and update first. That rom does not work on 1.12

As i already posted ! And why relock ? No need to relock at all .....

I am sure to update stock software you need to relock the bootloader

Just flash stock recovery first and as long you dont modified anything, just rooted, the ota will go through. I heard you might loose the root after ota.

You already in stock 4.4.2 just rooted and twrp. All you need is stock recovery and checknthe updates and receive the ota. Check the xda thread if its true that once you accepted the 4.4.3 ota, you will loose root.

i can root in 4.4.3 ???
I was on the original 1.12 firmware, but here was my process.
I relocked my bootloader, used the 1.57 RUU to return to stock. Updated to 4.4.3 with the OTA, went back through the HTC Dev unlock process to unlock my bootloader, then flashed TWRP.
From there you can install a custom rom or use TWRP to inject root to the stock rom.

No. I had to go to the HTC Dev site and put in new token info to get a new binary.
There has been an OTA update pushed to VM 816s for about a month or so. I know that normally we cannot apply this to rooted devices because of the tampered flag being set off and not running the stock recovery. Is there any way beyond running RUU and getting to complete stock to apply the update? If not, does anyone know how you can extract update from an updated phone?

Unroot through the SuperSU app and reflash the stock recovery.

I tested this last night, you don't need to re-lock the bootloader. Just unroot, flash stock recovery, and apply the update. No need to lose data.
can't get it to work

Hmm.... I updated via OTA and I looked at the version number.
I used the RUU and looked at version number and they were both the same though.
Can I reroot after update
For some reason it's being a pain and not allowing me to install the update. When I flash the recovery and attempt to boot into it to for a system update, all I get is a red triangle with an exclamation point through it
