I have a rooted 1X (Indian version, not the AT&T or any other custom version) with Clockwork mod recovery. A couple of days ago, the software update informed me I have a 31 MB update ready to install. When it reboots, it goes into CWM mode, and despite disabling signature check/script verification, CWM cannot apply the official update.
Is there a way to go into the normal download mode for HTC, or do I need to flash the stock kernel or something? (And where do I get the stock kernel if so?)
You need to make sure you haven't flashed any system mods or deleted any system apps, then flash stock recovery and relock your bootloader. If you have made system changes flash a nandroid backup from before you did.
Hope that helps

What's stock recovery..the regular download mode? And is relocking the bootloader compulsory when installing an update on an HTC device?
You really should know what you're doing before rooting - do you even have the RUU in case you need to go back to stock? If not, you have no one else to blame but yourself...
Anyway - the stock recovery is the one you over-wrote with CWM so you need to get the one you had originally and flash it back. I don't think you have to relock the bootloader but you may have to
Stock recovery is what was on your phone when you bought it, if you do a search on here you should be able to find the recovery needed.
Some people say you have to relock while some say you don't, I don't know my self as I always update with a ruu. Try it with just stock recovery and if it doesn't work try relocking your bootloader then

I'm a recent proud owner of a HOX and as a newbie after reading numerous post decided to root my phone
have done the basics using the useful thread HTC One X All-In-One Toolkit V1.0
Unlocked bootloader
Installed CWM 5.8.3.1 recovery
Installed SU
applied the Tegra 3 fix
This morning received the OTA {OTA_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_O2_UK_1.28.206.9-1.26.206.2_release_25} update from O2 (yay) , however it failed to install automatically.
I've tried to install via recovery but no luck.
Do i need to re-install stock recovery and re-lock my phone before re-attempting? Or is there a way I can do it without those steps?
You need the stock recovery to flash an OTA updates (and not be rooted)
Best way to get it...
1. Back the phone up
2. Flash stock recovery
3. Relock the bootloader
4. flash the o2 1.26 RUU
5. Flash the OTA when prompted
6. Restore your data

OK to get a few things right here, you need to have stock recovery to install OTA, no it won't relock boot loader, yes it will erase CWM. Your rom needs to be 100% stock (including boot loader, kernel and radio aswell as rom and recovery).
The way I just went to 4.1.1 (takju) I was running the preview JB Google IO rom anyway so in CWM I reflashed that to undo any system changes I made. Then using Mskips nexus tool kit I used it to flash stock recovery and then BOOT (NOT FLASH) to CWM. Find the update and flash it. Before you do all this use titanium to back up your stuff, do a nandroid and get voodoo OTA root keeper so you get root back after the update.
Then using the tool kit again I used it to flash CWM back. Then your done. I won't give further instructions but for further reading efrant has very good posts about this stuff, mskip has very good instructions on his tool kit in the thread

i'm still a little confused. my phone is completely stock. it's a takju 4.0.4. i don't want to wait for the OTA for jb 4.1.1. i was going to use the nexus tool kit to unlock the bootloader ( i believe that's required to boot it into cwm) then run the OTA update that people posted for my version to update it. I don't care about keeping cwm or bootloader, just want the update now and keep the phone still stock. i also want to make sure that i'll get OTA updates in the future. It looks like I can just boot it into cwm without flashing it, so that's what i'm going to do.

Yeah you can but you need to unlock the boot loader to do it, which wipes your entire phone so back up any thing you want to keep like photos or music. When the bootloader is open you can just leave it and just lock it if you need to send for warranty. Or if you already have root but locked boot loader there is a free app to unlock it on play store

once, i update the file using the nexus toolkit to boot into custom recovery, once it updates, it will lock the bootloader and the phone will be back to stock right? or is the bootloader going to stay open.
also, will i still get future OTA updates if i just do the update by booting into recovery and not flashing cwm?

Once you unlock it the bootloader stays open until you choose lock I again. You can still get ota but remember you need the matching bootloader, kernel, radio and unmodified system and recovery. So just booting cwm is fine to apply and then after its applied the patch you can flash what ever you want again. I find its always a good idea to make a back up of a 100% stock rom and keep it on the pc just in case. This is all simple and quick with the tool kit

Hey, first, thanks for the replies. Second, if I unlock the bootloader to install update, make no other changes, meaning everything else is stock and the update is googles stock update, them once the update is done, can I run the toolkit again to lock the bootloader. Doing this will it bring my phone to same everything as a stock ota updated one? Or is me unlocking and then locking bootloader going to cause me to have a different version for the next ota

No worries its fine. Yes after you have successfully applied a stock OTA patch onto a stock rom then you are running the same as everyone. Their are minor regional differences, like takju and yakuto (what ever lol) toro, toro plus etc but flashing a ota patch from a different build won't work on a rom that doesn't match.
You can go to the Google developer site and search for the full ROM and you know definitely its 100% as its meant to be, the patches just write over the bits which change in updates. The thing to bear in MIMD about flashing the whole ROM from Google site is that it will wipe your entire phone

Hi guys.
Today I finally received an OTA upgrade from ICS to JB Android. I made a backup, then from settings i let system to update my ROM. It's going good so far, but when it's rebooting, it's going to recovery where the process is stopped. I have unlocked bootloader and rooted my HOX, but still i have a stock ROM. I tried to toggle off checking signatures in cwm but with no result. What can I do to keep root and upgrade to JB?
Thanks.
1. Stock ROM
2. Stock kernel
3. Stock recovery
Make sure you haven't removed system apps. Root doesn't matter.

And make sure to put back the stock recovery

You can root again by flashing your custom recovery AFTER updating to JB.
http://androidsu.com/superuser/
So, at start I have to flash stock recovery. Have I to relock the bootloader? Then I'll update to JB. Of course I want to root, so just flash custom recovery and su? Thanks in advance
Make sure the rom is stock, then flash the STOCK recovery and update the phone, then flash a custom recovery back and root the JB rom again. No need to lock the bootloader !
You must mean stock recovery correct?

You downloaded my stock recovery and renamed it to recovery.img ?
Recovery from a nandroid is never a stock one, a nandroid backup can only be done with a custom one
Uuuups, what a mistake Thanks! I'll try to flash yours one.

There are two ways to do that: Flash the a stock rom or use the official RUU(ROM Update Utility). Flashing the ROM will keep your phone rooted, but in order to use the RUU you have to relock the bootloader and your phone will not be rooted anymore.
You can find the files (ROM's and RUU's) here. I only used the last one from that list (RUU_Marvel_S_HTC_Europe_2.26.401.3_Radio_47.23e.35.3038H_7.57.39.10M_release_261695_signed.exe). Didn't try flashing a rom.
In order to install the RUU, first you have to install HTC Sync (for the drivers), then you have to relock your bootloader using bltool. Just boot into recovery, flash the zip, and select LOCKED or RELOCKED, then reboot, connect the phone to your PC and run the RUU. You might have to reboot into bootloader if it won't work at first and install the RUU while the phone is in bootloader mode.

i just want to upgrade to android 6.
i know that i can flash custom roms with custom recovery. is it possible for me to download an stock system image and flash it with custom recovery the same way? i do not want to make everything back to its original. i want a rooted android 6 with custom recovery.

i had some search. if i upgrade to stock android, then i will have to root my phone again and for that i have to flash a custom recover again. i searched and find out that android revolution custom ROM is a good choice for ones how wants to keep HTC Sense.
thank you for your support.
Check here for possible stock system images and recoveries...
You should be able to flash a stock system backup from this thread...to include recovery....then take your OTA....and flash TWRP afterwards....
Just make sure everything matches your carrier....cid/mid....so the outcome is favorable...g

You'll quickly find, if you haven't already, that the latest Android Revolution HD (v20) requires you to have the latest firmware. Flashing it without it will throw your phone into a boot loop.

If he has removed his carrier's bloatware as well as the custom recovery, would he have to flash the system image also?
Or just flash the recovery?
I am asking as many AT&T users often root to remove AT&T bloatware, like I did. I used HTCDev.com to root, and my bootloader is unlocked.

Flashing a stock RUU will guarantee that the system and recovery are completely stock...
The OTA scans the device prior to update and will detect any software that isn't signed or official...
I'd RUU back to stock...then OTA will prompt....and won't get stuck trying to update the system partition...g
