Thanks but I tried directly download 3 times but every time after going to recovery for install update a red triangle appeared.
Then I decided to unlock and root to flash zip via cwm but every time aborted.
Know I don't know what must I do.

What is the CID of your phone? What is the stock ROM version? What is your hboot version? What OTA are you downloading?

Thanks for helping me.

I'm seeing a large number of "please help" me threads by you. This shows me that you don't take the time needed to fully understand what it is you are doing. XDA is not a help site, it's a developer's site, and thus, requires some level of understanding. Please refrain fron creating help threads everytime you get stuck.
Before attempting ANY modding, flashing, or hacking, make sure you have done the necessary research.

I had this Rom, just flashed the lastest recovery in fastboot,. Try flashing this in fastboot
check if the forum where you downloaded the rom matches to your phone...at & t one x is not the same like european one x's, because of the chipsets.
That could probably be the reason for aborting...

Have you tried installing a simple mod, anything, to see if your system partition can get remounted with rw?
Another thing I would try is to install supersu if you're using superuser and vice versa, and update su binaries.

You need to flash the kernel separately using fastboot. HOX doesn't have s-off so the kernel isn't flashed in recovery.
Extract the boot.img from the rom zip and fastboot flash boot boot.img

You don't need to relock your bootloader for ota. Im afraid I don't know where to find your stock recovery as I don't bother with ota's, I use custom roms or ruus
EDIT: if you can find your versions ruu you should be able to extract the stock recovery from it

Run the ruu BUT DONT hit next.
From explorer enter %temp% in the address bar.
Find two newly created directories
In one of them there is a file called rom.zip
Copy that to another place. Close ruu.
Everything is inside the rom.zip file.

You will get the update (if your ROM is just stock, but rooted) but you won't be able to apply it.

If you stay in stock Rom but with custom recovery and rooted you would still get the notification of an update but it would fail until you put the stock recovery back on. Some people say you don't need to unroot for the ota but from my past experience it's best to. To unroot you have to go into your system/bin or system/xbin and look for the Su file and delete it. Then uninstall the superuser app.

At this time, you can't simply flash a lower ROM version as you might have. But you can "restore" an ICS ROM though. Flashing an ICS ROM over a JB ROM would cause an error during flash progress. This is what I learned so far and I even tried it> bad result
-----------------------------EDIT on 12.11.12--------------------------
My fault. As you said, step 5-12 weren't required. I've edited the Guide an now it should fit^^ Thank you

There are several reasons why someone would do that. One of 'em is e.g. warranty claim.
Some users report about issues with the JB ROM's, for example the WiFi issue. Those people are surely grateful for any kind of help for reverting to their old familiar ICS enviroment

Would be nice if someone can report if it worked for him

No, you still can't use a RUU. The RUU's out there will try to flash a lower hboot version and as we all know, this is not possible unless you have s-off. There aren't RUU's for hboot 1.23 or higher. But if you do it as I described it in the first Post, there won't be any difference to a RUU flashed Device.

I'm not sure but it should be possible. I'm referring to mike1968.'s thread about the stock ROM he's providing. Its the same ROM I am referring in the HowTo. With that ROM you can receive OTA's. BUT; if you recive an update, containing a lower hboot version than at least 1.23 you might not be able to flash it.

If it is all stock and you do not want to root or install custom recovery/ROM then your recourse is to contact HTC for advice/repair.
There is little to nothing that YOU as a user can do without custom recovery and ROM installation to correct flashing issues.

Okay this is strange... Connected my phone to my laptop in a last resort to see if it would make any connection, started it up again and left it to be. After a minute or 1 my laptop said it saw a MTP USB-device connected so my hope was up.
I let it do it's thing for a minute or 5 and it continued to the quietly brilliant screen! After that it started up like normal and i'm up and running again:laugh: .
Thanks for the support guys!
