Is my rom able to get ota updates?

Hi everyone,
I have got a rooted HOX, and I flashed what I think is a custom rom. I did this beacuse I am getting prepared for an ota update and my bigger question is if with this rom I will be able yo receive the official update.
Here are the details of the rom.
Thx.

As long as you have a stock recovery you should get the updates. It looks like you are on the 1.29.401.11 rom so you should. But you will lose root after you get another update.

As i see this is stock rom and you will have ota update.

Htc One X Venom ViperX Rom & faux123 b004b7 Kernel

Why root if you want to wait for OTA updates?

Because when I bought it it was already rooted...
In fact I dont know what to do... Stay rooted, or unroot it and receive OTA updates.

You certainly will.
As far as you come back to your stock rom, you will get your OTA. you need to download keeproot app from google play to stay rooted though.

Can the HTC one x receive system updates if it's unlocked??

And on another carrier ??? Just wondering.

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

you're stuck there till a RUU for your branded phone comes out... which is your CID?

How do I find the cid ? And when I installed the ruu it must of wiped cwm? Because when I tried to go to recovery it just reset my phone back to the factory ruu Rom

you can get the cid by typing
Code:
fastboot getvar cid
but i don't know if it works with the bootloader locked
could you also check what is you HBOOT version?

I put my phone back to stock yesterday with the same RUU as you, and did a software update to 4.0.4.
What was the process you followed to get there?

Downloaded ruu, relocked bootloader by fastboot OEM lock or whatever it is and installed ruu by opening executable ruu file on my pc. Maybe do I have to flash recovery with the stock recovery? At the moment it just resets factory settings if I try to go into recovery...

when you run a RUU it installs the recoverystock.img and boot.img too....no need to flash it again

Wonder why I can't get the update to 4.04 then?? With everything stock, when you go to recovery option does it just reset your phone? Back to defaults?

Edit - cid: none
Do I need to unlock again just to get cid? There isn't a cmd command to do it easily is there rather than going through HTC dev???

It certainly does. I realised this earlier today.

The update just came up
Will have to wait till I'm on wireless though. Only a few days into monthly period and already used half my data allowance.... Don't know if ill bother though ad I will be probably sending it back due to auto rotate not working...

fastboot oem readcid
Although I'm not sure why we need this, we know which RUU works.
Try
fastboot erase cache
It might sort your recovery out and won't hurt.

Does the 4.04 update get rid of the 3 button menu bar???

You can choose what you want in settings > display guestures buttons.

So I tried flashing twrp recovery and its knocked out my sensors again. I've updated to 4.04 and when I tried installing my ruu I downloaded it said wrong version but its the same one I used before I updated to 4.04. What ruu version am I supposed to have now?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

The ruu updated your hboot. The old ruu has a lower hboot version. I think you have a ruu on the 1.29 base you need a 2.17 base ruu now.....please correct me if i'm wrong here mates !
Verstuurd van mijn HTC One X

Ok So I used the ruu to find out what version I should download. It is my current version is 2.17.980.6 and it wanted to downgrade it to 1.29........ So obviously that won't work. I went to the same thread I used when downloading the last ruu but can't find the 2.17.980.6 ruu anywhere. I'll keep searching but has anyone seen it??

Ota after root and unlock

I don't see any harm in taking the update. Afaik it is just a radio update which can be reversed by running the ruu back to an older version. Try it and let us know your results.

It brings me to the cwm recovery menu and when I locate the update -sdcard/downloads/update that's where it is, it says this software could render your phone incompatible but it's an ota update
So it should work. I'm just scared to brick this phone I just got it two days ago so I could return and say it's not working I want another but I got it on sale and I don't know if they would do that or if I have to pay the extra 100$ which I can't do. Do if it doesn't start up what could I do to fix it? Like when you flash you have to fastboot a boot.zip file right? How do I do that? I'm still on stock obviously and I have a backup of my current status and completely brand new stock, thanks guys

To install the OTA update, you'll need to restore the stock recovery, stock kernel, and most likely relock your bootloader. If you are using Virgin Mobile, be warned, the OTA is not compatible with any roms or kernels available now. If you try to install any custom roms or kernels, you will be stuck in a bootloop and will have to RUU back the older version to install them.

Ok thank you I am using virgin mobile but I like the stock phone I feel changing roms is too much work and I feel as if I won't like them plus I need a computer 24/7 and also I don't feel comfortable with switching back and forth all the time if I don't like anything. Mods can delete this if they'd like I got my answer thank you guys

Any Information On 6.0 Update?

Supposedly we'd have it by the end is the year. That's only 8 days from now.

So it's in testing?
I've already found search there but no matter what phone you click it's highlighted as "T-Mobile testing" but you're able to click any of the three stages and it changes it so it's not very clear.

That wasn't 6.0, that was a software update to prepare for the 6.0 update. That's the second one in the last few months.

Weird, I just put my phone back to the Tmo version from being converted to EU and the last OS update I got was 4.20.531.4 and then came the 3 little updates for preperation for Marshmallow. Nothing after that. Should that matter that I didn't get the Stagefright 4.20.531.5 update?

You're right, I should have paid closer attention before posting.
Assuming the update does come soon, and I get impatient, how would I go about returning to stock/unrooted in order to receive it OTA? (I'm stock, rooted, s-on)

Short story, you need to restore a non-root backup and the restore to stock recovery. The version of stock and the recovery need to match. Also I believe ( but could be wrong ) the version will match the hboot that you have. This is why before you root, you grab a copy of the ROM and recovery and save them.

What will happen if I simply update when it does roll out? I'm on stock rooted but never took a backup before root.

The update will fail. OTA the updates from T-mobile need to have you on the non-rooted, non-modified stock ROM with stock recovery installed that matches the version of the ROM.
That is why before I installed TWRP - copy the recovery and ROM and note the version in the filename. Also because I run stock more often than I run rooted, custom ROM, etc. I usually leave the stock recovery inplace and use the command 'fastboot boot twrp.img' command to boot into TWRP. This way I use TWRP but not have to restore my stock recovery when needed.

How do I revert back to the normal recovery? I installed the custom recovery to root the phone.
When the update rolls out I will need to unroot and reinstall the normal recovery?

Getting frustrating now. I'll end with with a new phone and only get to enjoy MM on the M8 for little to no time at all.

Seems like the carriers are pulling the update. Sprint has and I think I saw that Verizon too but not 100%. My thought is too many bugs still with MM.

Hopefully they are fixing any bugs that plague Android 6.0, if that's the case, they can take all the time they need to make it right.
@uoY_redruM, why don't you just convert your phone to who has MM? Or you can't?
