I received a 1.25 mb ota update but I am rooted can I install this safely without messing up my htc one x it is unbranded
I think it's a OTA for preparing your phone to get the JB upgrade, I downloaded the same update, but for forcing JB update, only to see what's inside and it had 1.25 mb.
nr 502...
Where abouts did the OP Mention JB??? Seemed like a legit question to me. Don't be so quick to jump on people's backs man

flash stock recovery.
And use a search button.....and post in the right part of the forum ! This is the general, you belong in the Q&A part with these things. And yes there are numerous posts like this with the exact same question ..... we keep on repeating ourselves for ages in here ..... and so it is !
No problem make the update
I think I heard somewhere that if you are rooted and you do get an OTA and install it then the update will re-lock your HOX and you'll need to root again...
I could be wrong
It doesn't relock the device, it just removes the root, you can apply the root easily after the update !

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.

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.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
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.
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.

Thanks so since my phone is not rooted and is in the stock everything it should be good to download the 2.17 update ? ..thanks bro

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
Just a quick one.
There is an ota update available for my wifes Wildfire S which has been rooted. If I go ahead with the update will my root 'stick' or will I need to flash it again? Its running a stock rom and running 2.3.2, the update is 2.3.5.
Root will probably go......try using OTA root keeper...that might work
And i've got a quick one too
THERE IS A Q AND A SECTION HERE

Tried the ota update but all I got was a picture of an explanation mark and a green android. I'll just manually update the stock rom from a zip. I use Android revolution HD for my OneX, is something similar available for the wildfire S? I can see plenty of other roms on here but I want one that is based on the HTC stock rom like Android revolution is.
Quick one. You'll need stock recovery.

Do you mean I need to take cwm recovery off and replace it with stock? Can't I just flash a new stock rom (and maybe a new boot.img) on to it?
Hi,
I want to know how you get RUU for HTC (I have HTC One X.) phones. I ask because I want to update my phone to JB but I don't want root. I know that's now unavailable, but where you get it when it'll be available? Is then possible to update phone via OTA? Thank you!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1543604
And next time, please post questions in the Q&A, ok ?
Sorry
I'll post it next time to Q&A. I swear . However can you answer my questions?
He has, with a link to the thread with the available RUU's. Once a RUU has been installed then yes you can receive OTA's.

Thanks a lot
Thanks a lot. So I have last question - If I install older RUU, will it show me the OTA for JB and will I be able to update it without errors?
You will only get the JB update notification when it is available for your CID regardless of whether you RUU your phone. If you are completely stock now, installing the RUU will not speed up the OTA process for you.

Thanks again
Thank's a lot (my CID_32 got 2 hours ago JB.)
In which case, if you are stock/non rooted then you should receive it shortly

I rooted my phone and i want to get back to stock. (no just for JB update)
Ah I see, I thought you meant you were already unrooted. In that case then the RUU will be of use to you. Make sure you download the correct one for you CID/region from the link above

I looked for some roms and deciced i wanted to run Viper X (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2087443) which runs on Android 4.2.2. I'm on Android 4.0.4 Sense 4.1 because i havent used this phone for a while.
I can't find any proper guides i tried this one : http://wccftech.com/update-htc-one-x-to-cm10-1-android-4-2-2/ but getting a error status 7.
Any help appreciated!

As i already posted ! And why relock ? No need to relock at all .....

I am sure to update stock software you need to relock the bootloader
