dear XDA members ,,, as i got a lot of solutions in this form and i see the OTA updates are making problems for many users ,,, here is the solution for people who unlocked the bootloader and installed CWM recovery ......
ON STOCK ROM ...
1- you dont need to relock the bootloader ..
2- download voodoo rootkeeper .. (from market) and run the program and click protect root.
3- you will need your original recovery that you changed to CWM ..
example: if you had 1.28.415.9 and you installed CWM then you need recovery.img for 1.28.415.9 .
install the stock recovery from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24738635#post24738635
4-install recovery.img from fastboot ..
5-boot into phone and OTA update the one x to 1.29.xxx .
6-after update is done just open rootkeeper and click restore root ,,
7-DONE
a big thanks for xda members and im happy to help ...
Nice m8

Actually I never really had to relock the bootloader to apply an OTA... just flashing the stock recovery and keeping the unlocked bootloader + rooted custom ROM did the trick for me... Tho its not a really good idea to install an OTA patch on top of a custom ROM.
i added ( FOR STOCK ) what i know if you have custom rom you wont receive OTA ... will you ???!!!! ... my solution is about if you are still on Stock ...
if you search google youll see people talking about locking the bootloader and removing root and all kind of crap ...
...since the radio is part of the rom now and the only "advantage" of flashing a RUU is an hboot update.
So what is the "advantage" of an newer hboot? If someone finds an exploit on the 0.43 hboot which is fixed on newer hboots you gonna cry (-:
So my advice..stay on lowest hboot until we get S-OFF.
I also didn't have to relock my bootloader.
Just restored my default back up with cwm before root. Fastboot restore to original recovery (stock), update and done. Went back to fastboot and restored cwm, rooted the phone and done.

May I post this in the HOS Section ? Thanks
What i did was flashed stock recovery, downloaded and installed the update done, that's all i did and root was intact, that was like last month
I'm still haven't issues installing the OTA update.
I followed your instructions and I still get the red triangle error
EDIT:
just did some fishing, and it's because my stock rom is so heavily modified that the OTA won't update anything
hi, quick check, do i still need to flash back CWM or it will include back CWM?

the OTA will not include CWM, as CWM is not stock.
thanks you made my day
Forgive me for the noob question but how would one find out which stock recovery was on phone before I flashed cwm. Didn't take note before hand

Whatever Rom version is shown in "about" e.g. 1.26, 1.28, 1.29 , then this is the recovery version you need

No you do not technically need to be s-off. If you have cwm installed just install rom zip from there

In a nutshell, S-OFF means that the NAND portion of the device is unlocked and can be written to. The default setting for HTC’s devices is S-ON, which means that neither can you access certain areas of the system nor can you guarantee a permanent root. Furthermore, signature check for firmware images is also ensured by the S-ON flag.

Quoted from here
If you are bootloader unlocked instead of S-Off, you also need to fastboot flash a boot.img after each time you flash a ROM from recovery.

Hi all,
I've tried to install newer InsertCoin ROM, during HBOOT update, the phone booted to his current ROM with no Wi-Fi or Mobile access, recovery stuck with red triangle, Trying to install some custom recovery using fastboot v1.2 - got "writing recovery - failed not allowed" message. What is the fastest way to get phone back to work?
Did you re-unlock the bootloader after updating the hboot?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Not allowed error is when the bootloader is locked or relocked. Unlock it via the htcdev site and flash a custom rexovery. Then flash the boot img from the new rom, make a FULL wipe in the recovery and install the new rom !

The phone os S-ON , is it ok? Should I flash new image using flashboot or other interface? Thanks In Advance
I'm not talking about S-On ....I'm talking about a locked or relocked bootloader.
Is it unlocked ?
When you succesfully updated your hboot with a firmware flash you MUST unlock the bootloader, flash a new custom recovery, install a new JB rom and flash its boot.img
A custom gets broken when you update the hboot because locking/unlocking will set the phone to factory state. So it will delete the current custom rom.
Also could you, guys, elaborate why my original ROM started to act spooky - no Wi-FI and so on.
Probably because you updated the hboot. You have to start from scratch after that. It gets messed up
I did as you proposed, unlocked bootloader, installed CWM recovery, wiped data, dalvik cache and installed the InsertCoin ROM, the issue - that I got same problems - Wi -Fi displayed error and not started, SIM is not recognized, no network. Could you please advise what to do now?
Flash the boot.img from the insertcoin rom !
did you flash the boot.img and erase fastboot cache?

Inside the insertcoin rom there will be a a boot.img.
you will need to write this in fast boot.

flash boot boot.img

I don't know too what exactly the problem is..but just guest...maybe ARHD rom can't support just unlocked bootloader device, maybe must be s-off too..
If you want still try another ROM like stock but ICS version and with just a little tweaked..you can try SVHD ROM too..that most stable and good battery life rom that i've ever try until now..
