I flash my boot.img files using command prompt, and my fastboot folder is stored on my C drive. I got a new computer and am trashing the old one soon. Can I just copy the entire fastboot folder onto the new computer, C drive, and continue as before? I'd initially got the fastboot folder while rooting, but don't remember where I got it from. Both my old and new computers run on Windows 7, if that helps.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!

Thanks a lot for getting back to me. But *noob alert* what did you mean by installing the drivers again? Do you mean the ones from htcdev? Can you point me somewhere the steps might be? Or if you've seen this query before, just let me know. I searched this forum once, but will check again if you've seen someone else ask this question before. Thanks again!

Copy fastboot folder to a usb and copy to new computer.
Fastest way to install drivers is to install the HTC sync for the one x

Hey
is there a way to flash the kernel without a PC?
So i can download it with htc one x and install it with a app or termibal comand or something like that.

Yes of course there is, but in every ROM flashing guide they say you have to do it from PC because nobody likes you.

No need to be rude BenPoope.
No, unfortunately its not possible yet. It will be possible once bootloader is fully unlocked aka S-Off access.

It was just a joke. If I was a little too sensitive, perhaps having my name misspelt could be considered rude.
Unfortunately not.
I did some experimenting with this by manually flashing boot.img with dd
Reading and flashing a boot.img works fine but as soon as you reboot its back to old img.
Deduction
Hboot protection is removing external changes to the boot partition and the only way to get a change to stick after reboot is with fastboot which requires a PC to use

Okay i wait and flash my phone when im back in germany or in a internet cafe
I hope that S-Off comes soon

So as will be immediately obvious, I am new to posting on this site and I'm sure the title will explain why. Before I start, I was using (the 'was' will be explained later) a rooted stock ROM and I had not backed it up (the instructions I used forgot to mention it).
The 2.17 HOX OTA update was finally released by three (I'm currently on 1.28) and I hoped that this update would fix several problems I've been having (standard HOX problems like battery life, camera quality, lag, and an ever growing system data). So I was fairly desperate to install this update, but when I tried clockwork recovery told me that it failed, and by using google I discovered that I'm not the only one with this problem.
This where I get stupid. In desperation to install this update I found that SuperSu has an option to full unroot and I hoped that this would reinstall the stock recovery in the process, but now I am left with an unrooted phone with clockwork recovery installed.
If anyone can help me reinstall the stock recovery so I can install this update I'd very much appreciate it. I apologise if I was long winded, I just felt it better to try and explain the whole situation.

I'm not sure what's stopping you from installing the stock recovery?

Thanks for replying. I'm not very knowledgeable at this so I'm not sure how to, and would I need to use a computer or can I do it directly on my phone?

No I don't think so, can I download it? Should I already have it, and if so where would it be?

You need to install Android SDK on the PC you want to do this on.
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Update/install everything on it once installed.
Then you can begin.

I have just successfully reinstalled the stock recovery, and although I am very grateful for your help, you forgot to mention the next step which was to type "fastboot oem lock" on command prompt.
Thanks again!

Hi. U can try searching the files at the HTC dev site that u use to unlock the bootloader.
Hi everyone:
Before I decided to post this, I have been search for a while...... but nothing related about it.
My one x just have no usb mount when I plug the cable, It doesn't shown even in recovery mode.
It charging but can't mount the storage even I try to fastboot command in bootloader.
anybody can solve this? Thank you in advance.
Bad cable? Bad usb port? Missing drivers?

No
I try another 2 cable is the same
Try installing htc sync and see if that solves it.

Unlocked or locked? Describe in details what you want to do, so I can guide you.

The fact that fastboot is working, it means that your drivers and cable is working.

Fastboot seem not work, I'm unlock device and install ARHD 9.70 and Kernel from faux 10m (before fuax I'm move from ncx kernel)
In bootloader they only charge and when I try to fastboot erase cache it just waiting for device.
In recovery, when I mount sd it doesn't show the storage too.
When in the android os, plug it and it doesn't ask for storage or charging but the charging light it show.
I think the problem it not in the computer because I try to plug 2 different computer and show only the light.
Thank you.

Anybody can help.
Do you have the latest clockworkmod recovery? Should be 5.8.4.0. Worth reinstalling it, anyway.
Yes, I used this version. Any new suggestion.

I'm using windows 7 and also try with the windows xp. Sorry what is udev?

1. Start(the windows start button) + r
2. Enter cmd and press ok
3. Type "adb devices"

I will try when I get to home but thank you for supported.

Sorry, I just back from aboard and when I got home I try to flash recovery again
and stuck on "still waiting for device".
Also when I try to adb devices there are only shown "List of devices attached".
Do this is hardware fault? please give me an advice.
Than you in advance
