You'll need to restore the stock recovery, stock kernel and relock your bootloader to get it work.
Have done everything but its just sticking at middle of the update

the update is crap anyway, i wouldnt even worry about taking it. afaik all it does is update the radio version, which didnt do anything for my signal when i was running stock and took the update.

Purchased a used G2 on ebay - phone was rooted and I believe CM7 installed - clockworkmod came up and I tried to install a custom rom and was only getting white HTC screen.
At this point I really just want the latest official gingerbread 2.3.4 on the phone (even if it means getting an original stock rom then getting the OTA update thru t-mobile). I don't care if its rooted or not. (Picture of HBOOT screen attached below)
What is the easiest and fastest way to do this from what I have on my phone at this point? If I just factory reset from this menu will I still have to get a stock a rom and put it on my sdcard?
Just flash the rooted version from the dev thread dude

Either that or if you don't care about root, flash pc10img of ota gb.

Dear frens,
I've rooted my HOX and unlocked bootloader. However, I still use stock rom and kernel.
My question is, can I update the software straight away without unroot back my phone? Some of my frens told me that once you unroot your phone, you cannot update your software even though u r still using the stock rom. Is it true?
Please advise.
Thanks, guys.

You will have to relock your bootloader and flash stock recovery to perform the ota. Some people recommend unrooting first before doing an ota just incase there's any problems

As you are on stock there is no need to relock your bootloader so long as you are doing the update via OTA (over the air) i.e from your handset.
you will however need to flash stock recovery before doing the update.

Can I ask where to find the stock recovery file?
..... Manage to find it at www.androidrevolution.nl/ARHD/index.php?dir=OneX/Recovery/
Hi guys i'm waiting for the official jb update from htc but something cross my mind. I have an unlocked rooted stock rom. Updating from 4.0.3 to 4.0.4 isn't a problem at all because i still have all the bloat application intact and recover root using rootkeeper. However how about updating from ics to jb? Do i need to relock my bootloader? Any answer will be appreciated

If you have the stock recovery installed you do not need to relock
If flashing an ota update you only need to have stock recovery installed

RElock the flash firmware then unlock the install the rom
Nah i'm not gonna install custom jb rom so i think i don't have to install firmware. Official ota will also include the firmware right? I'm just concerned that unlock bootloader will mess up the ota update to jellybean because of the firmware inside the ota

Just run a non rooted stock rom backup.flash custom recovery and your good to go to flash the official JB update when it comes out. No need to lock the bootloader. It just updates the hboot and prob radio version. After that you can flash back custom recovery and also run a older ics rom ( nandroid )
Correct me if i'm wrong, here to read & learn

hi
after returning to stock using my Nandroid backup and then flashing a stock recovery i can then boot up and use my phone as normal
my problem occurs is i want to upgrade to JB so i then go through the commands to lock my bootloader and it is succesful and locks but after this it will only ever then boot into bootloader, so to get my phone back to working condition i have to then unlock my bootloader and it works perfectly again but i cant update due to a unlocked bootloader.
have tried reflashing kernel, reflashing recovery, restoring the nandroid again all with no success
anybody have any ideas or am i doing anything wrong
any help would be much appreciated
Something else is wrong ! If you are on stock rom,boot.img and recovery you are good to go. The bootloader can stay unlocked.......is it possible you have the wrong nandroid ?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
will my phone update with it being unlocked. as doesnt the new jb update upgrade the bootloader?
my nandroid is a 2.17, recovery matches and the boot.img comes from the nandroid
Yes if everything is 100% stock then you can update with the bootloader unlocked. That is no problem it will work fine
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
thanks for the help
still would like some help as to why it will not lock seems very strange as my brother who has the same phone i went through the identical process and his was straight forward and locked mine just wont accept it
I can't give you the answer to that, but if the update fails its not due to the fact that the bootloader is unlocked !
Did u apply the update already ?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
no the update isnt showing yet suprislingly cid 001
aslong as its not a problem updating with bootloader unlocked then ill be fine then
thanks
I hope so, orherwise you have a nandroid of a non stock rom (maybe deleted some system apps)
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Yeh it's 100% a stock nandroid as its the only one I have from originally rooting the phone. And like I say it boots up fine just doesn't boot up atall when the boot loaders locked if its unlocked its fine
Just wait for the update, and see if it installs fine !

If your on HTC__001 just download the jellybean RUU. Lock your bootloader then run the ruu and it will update you
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
It's actually an 02 001 CID. And I can't find the RUU for the 2.17 software for O2
Ah you have to wait longer, the carrier needs to put their bloatware/crap in the update :thumbdown:

Yeh I know was just preparing myself as I had seen a few posts and things in twitter saying they had released it today
So I rooted and unlocked my bootloader on a stock HTC one brand new from radio shack ics version 4.0.3 I want to know if I do the ota update will I suffer any damage to my phone and will it wipe? Also I have custom recovery so I have to choose zip file from downloads. I'm new to this phone do any info helps. Thanks

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
