If that's all you do then yes

And if I root and install a custom rom is it possible to unroot and install stock ROM and lock the bootloader again? If I need to go to the repair center for example.

you can go back to stock rom. and you can RElock your bootloader. but it won't be locked as it was before unlocking.
It only will show "RELOCKED" and the repair service will know whats up
Yeahp , it's possible to flash back to stock ROM , unroot and relock the bootloeader again . But at HBoot , it will say Relocked not Locked . But the repair center will definitely know that you've played with it before ... But that doesn't mean that they won't give you warranty , depends on the center .

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.

Can I ask where to find the stock recovery file?
..... Manage to find it at www.androidrevolution.nl/ARHD/index.php?dir=OneX/Recovery/
So I want to return my phone to stock I had the rcmix3d but now I have the standard 2.3.5 sense 3.0 which I flashed using the volume down and power. But i think my phone maybe still s off or radio off which may stop me from returning my device to HTC UK because of a hardware fault I just basically want to know how i can make the warrenty not void after rooting it

Um do you want to keep S-OFF or do you want S-ON? And do you want to root it or do a completely unroot?
Edit: you can root it with superoneclick if you already S-OFF.

go to boot loader and find out if it is s-off or not. depending on what you find, and what unlock method you used, go to that unlock thread, and relock it again.
I used ahhk and yes it is s off I want to s on

Hey, I have an HTC one x and I relocked the bootloader, but every time I try to install an update it takes me to the bootloader plz help me out, btw I don't have a custom rom
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
If you already relocked your bootloader and cannot upgrade, then try with installng last RUU, corresponded to you CID number and then try to upgrade.
Maybe during the time you had unlocked device you uninstalled some of the preinstall apps, and now this doesn't allow you to upgrade.

Just checking you have gone back to stock recovery??
Umm no I haven't.. Trying to figure out how
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Find the correct file for your phone,
Use command fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (recovery.img is replaced with the name of file you are using.)
Stock recovery back for ota.
Check out a few of the guides, will walk you through anything pretty much
hi
after returning to stock using my Nandroid backup and then flashing a stock recovery i can then boot up and use my phone as normal
my problem occurs is i want to upgrade to JB so i then go through the commands to lock my bootloader and it is succesful and locks but after this it will only ever then boot into bootloader, so to get my phone back to working condition i have to then unlock my bootloader and it works perfectly again but i cant update due to a unlocked bootloader.
have tried reflashing kernel, reflashing recovery, restoring the nandroid again all with no success
anybody have any ideas or am i doing anything wrong
any help would be much appreciated
Something else is wrong ! If you are on stock rom,boot.img and recovery you are good to go. The bootloader can stay unlocked.......is it possible you have the wrong nandroid ?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
will my phone update with it being unlocked. as doesnt the new jb update upgrade the bootloader?
my nandroid is a 2.17, recovery matches and the boot.img comes from the nandroid
Yes if everything is 100% stock then you can update with the bootloader unlocked. That is no problem it will work fine
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
thanks for the help
still would like some help as to why it will not lock seems very strange as my brother who has the same phone i went through the identical process and his was straight forward and locked mine just wont accept it
I can't give you the answer to that, but if the update fails its not due to the fact that the bootloader is unlocked !
Did u apply the update already ?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
no the update isnt showing yet suprislingly cid 001
aslong as its not a problem updating with bootloader unlocked then ill be fine then
thanks
I hope so, orherwise you have a nandroid of a non stock rom (maybe deleted some system apps)
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Yeh it's 100% a stock nandroid as its the only one I have from originally rooting the phone. And like I say it boots up fine just doesn't boot up atall when the boot loaders locked if its unlocked its fine
Just wait for the update, and see if it installs fine !

If your on HTC__001 just download the jellybean RUU. Lock your bootloader then run the ruu and it will update you
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
It's actually an 02 001 CID. And I can't find the RUU for the 2.17 software for O2
Ah you have to wait longer, the carrier needs to put their bloatware/crap in the update :thumbdown:

Yeh I know was just preparing myself as I had seen a few posts and things in twitter saying they had released it today
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!

As i already posted ! And why relock ? No need to relock at all .....
Just go into settings - about - software update menu
I am sure to update stock software you need to relock the bootloader
