This info is for those who only root their HOX Taiwan version phones without custom ROM. When trying the OTA update 2.17.709.2 (Taiwan unbranded version), I had a hard time to find the recovery of Taiwan version 1.29.709.12.
If you are in the same situation as mine, no need to relock, unroot or anything. Just follow the steps to get OTA installed:
1. Download the IMG file, place it in the same folder with fastboot files.
2. Make sure HOX is "Fastboot USB" mode.
3. In cmd: fastboot flash recovery recovery_signed.img
4. Click "Software Update"
5. Once you have install the latest OTA, you can flash whatever recovery you want.

it doesnt look like the taiwan ROM is flashable on mainland chinese version of t328w because of CID difference.
That's exactly the point!
I am trying to flash a Taiwan version of the ROM. But becouse of this SID difference, I'm unable to do it.
Any good soul knows how to do it? Bypass, change or fix this SID difference issue?
Best regards,
you need to flash a china version, then replace the rom and boot file with the taiwan rom

what u need to do is the following:
1) *skip this step if your phone is still locked* if you have unlock your bootloader, you need to relock it using the same tool that unlocked the bootloader
2) download the RUU version of the original ROM. RUU_PRIMO_DS_ICS_40A_HTCCN_CHS_CU_1.35.1402.1_Radio_1.04.34D.11_20.11.30.11U_release_256137_signed.exe
address is here:
http://dl.dbank.com/c0ys4u58d7#
3) go into fastboot mode, and execute the RUU file.
4) follow the steps and your phone should be back to original factory states.
the thing to make sure: your bootloader needs to be locked to flash RUU.

This instruction I have follow many time already, but no luck.
I guest this only work when our device not yet receive 1.56.xxx OTA update. When we receive such this OTA update, our bootloader has been updated to 1.14.0002 which is newer then the 1 in the ROM you suggested to me. Finally, the update is failed with a report "HBOOT is older, update failed".
Anyway, really thanks for your great time for suggesting. And till now I have found solution on this issue, is that you could use the, what they called mini-RUU of China ROM (it's also same version suggested above, without HBOOT, and some other part of image file). Using flash zip file method in recovery mode, it work and you need to update software after complete flashing.

this is because old Kernel is used. I've got the same problem when played with roms on my device.
Try to unpack boot_signed.img from rom.zip of original RUU and flash it via fastboot
fastboot flash boot boot_signed.img
This should help.
Hello!
I am on Stock ROM, and i received an OTA update (3.14.707.24). But when i tried installing it, it boots in CWM and gives me an error.
Will it work if i chose the update file with the CWM option: "Install from a zip file" ?
If it´s not possible, do i have to relock bootloader only? or i have to remove CWM as well?
Thanks!
You must be on stock recovery

Those are RUU's u dont need that .
U need the stock recovery
Download from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30863908&postcount=1
I think im getting closer to a solution and understanding the process.
I dont have a backup of the recovery, so i must download the original firmware like Flameon said.
The problem is that the links are for premium filefactory users, so im stuck there. =(
Assuming you have a fasboot folder on your computer with adb tools just download the stock recovery.img file from above and put it into the same folder, right click the folder icon and open the command prompt, then type:
Fasboot flash recovery recovery.img
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot reboot

steps i already know i need to do,update hboot BUT I DONT KNOW HOW OR IF I SHOUULD DO IT
PLEASE HELP A NOOB
you just need to update the bootloader
Code:
fastboot oem lock
fastboot rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
your CID must match the firmware.zip's CID
You must download this firmware : http://www.androidrevolution.nl/downloader/download.php?file=3.16.65.2.zip
Put it in your fastboot folder.. rename it to 'firmware.zip'.. and run the commands matt95 has given! Note that.. flashing the firmware might give an error the first time.. continuously flash the firmware.zip until you get a successful message!
This will upgrade your hboot and from now on you can flash any ROM out here!

If you still want to update via OTA flash.. read the steps which are there in the OTA thread!
Yes, as long as your using stock ROM + recovery... you will get OTA updates! And no... it won't change your IMEI!
Yes, I remember you from that other thread... It's strange that it's displaying as 'none'...

can you also give me a link to stock recovery plseas???? :fingers-crossed:
Hi All
Have spent ages searching but cannot quite find my exact circumstances or the required files.
I am trying to do OTA update but it keeps failing as it is not a stock recovery.
CID is HTC__001
Current firmware is 3.14.401.31
recovery CWM 5.8.4.0
The phone detects and downloads software update 3.20.401.1 but install fails when it boots into recovery, I have tried installing the downloaded zip directly from SD card in the recovery but it still fails.
So I assume I need the stock recovery but don't know which one - have looked at the following page but nothing matches my current firmware
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2545227
I have found this guide http://www.androidauthority.com/one-x-revert-stock-recovery-76854/ but am concerned that there is no mention of CID or current firmware, just one single download.
Most grateful of any advice
Thanks
Download and flash the recovery, if it doesn't work just reflash the Cwm recovery that you're using now, can't hurt anything by trying

Have RRU for 3.14.401.31 you just can lock the bootloader and run the RUU then you will be complete stock and update to latest 4.18.401.4
you don't need exact recovery, just the general recovery for your version which is here>>>>>https://www.dropbox.com/s/2eecmiricuxv7u0/recovery.img
But to be honest do as @Thant says and just use the ruu which is available for your version and then all your problems are solved. get your ruu from here>>>>>http://www.androidruu.com/?developer=Endeavor yours is at the very bottom, then follow the instructions to install it from here>>>>>http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2104672
Thanks will give that a go. @nOtgotaclue Links much appreciated
Thanks very much chaps.
With your instructions I've got the phone back to stock with the RUU in the link and have now done OTA updates up to 4.22 / 4.18.401.4.

First, you can't use 4.16.401.10 when your device is S-On.
Second, you need the stock recovery installed then only OTA can proceed.
What's your software version no. now ? Is it 3.28.709.6 ? Are you doing lollipop OTA ?
All the files needed are here if the above version no. is correct.

Just to share some usefull information :
As been explained he can't use that firmware on a s-on device.
A firmware comes with different software numbers which are linked to different cids. If his cid is not supported by the firmware he simply can't flash it. Unless he gets s-off and change the cid. Therefore he needs the matching firmware, he could flash that firmware 10 times and it would still fail.
