Hi guys.
Today I finally received an OTA upgrade from ICS to JB Android. I made a backup, then from settings i let system to update my ROM. It's going good so far, but when it's rebooting, it's going to recovery where the process is stopped. I have unlocked bootloader and rooted my HOX, but still i have a stock ROM. I tried to toggle off checking signatures in cwm but with no result. What can I do to keep root and upgrade to JB?
Thanks.
1. Stock ROM
2. Stock kernel
3. Stock recovery
Make sure you haven't removed system apps. Root doesn't matter.

And make sure to put back the stock recovery

You can root again by flashing your custom recovery AFTER updating to JB.

So, at start I have to flash stock recovery. Have I to relock the bootloader? Then I'll update to JB. Of course I want to root, so just flash custom recovery and su? Thanks in advance
Make sure the rom is stock, then flash the STOCK recovery and update the phone, then flash a custom recovery back and root the JB rom again. No need to lock the bootloader !
You must mean stock recovery correct?

You downloaded my stock recovery and renamed it to recovery.img ?
Recovery from a nandroid is never a stock one, a nandroid backup can only be done with a custom one
Uuuups, what a mistake Thanks! I'll try to flash yours one.

I have a rooted 1X (Indian version, not the AT&T or any other custom version) with Clockwork mod recovery. A couple of days ago, the software update informed me I have a 31 MB update ready to install. When it reboots, it goes into CWM mode, and despite disabling signature check/script verification, CWM cannot apply the official update.
Is there a way to go into the normal download mode for HTC, or do I need to flash the stock kernel or something? (And where do I get the stock kernel if so?)
You need to make sure you haven't flashed any system mods or deleted any system apps, then flash stock recovery and relock your bootloader. If you have made system changes flash a nandroid backup from before you did.
Hope that helps

What's stock recovery..the regular download mode? And is relocking the bootloader compulsory when installing an update on an HTC device?
You really should know what you're doing before rooting - do you even have the RUU in case you need to go back to stock? If not, you have no one else to blame but yourself...
Anyway - the stock recovery is the one you over-wrote with CWM so you need to get the one you had originally and flash it back. I don't think you have to relock the bootloader but you may have to
Stock recovery is what was on your phone when you bought it, if you do a search on here you should be able to find the recovery needed.
Some people say you have to relock while some say you don't, I don't know my self as I always update with a ruu. Try it with just stock recovery and if it doesn't work try relocking your bootloader then

Before Flashing a Custom RoM, I did a backup of the stock RoM in recovery. Am going to need to return stock so O2 can release JB OTA update and allow me to update Hboot.
My question is if I was just to flash back the stock RoM in recovery am I right I dont need to relock the bootloader? I just use the Stock RoM with phone unlocked and custom Recovery just to allow me the OTA?
Thanks
You will receive the OTA, but to apply it you need stock recovery.

here you go mate
I'm currently running Viper X ROM on my HOX and i want to go back to stock for the JB OTA. I've made a back up in clockwork mod before flashing custom ROM.
Can i just restore the back up or do i need to do something else before? I'm a bit concerned because i had to flash boot.img from Viper X ROM before flashing the ROM itself.
So, do i need to flash boot.img from my backed up folder (stock ROM backup) or can just restore it? Or do i need to do something else?
In order to be able to update you need to flash the stock boot.img from the backup the backup stock rom and the stock recovery .....

so i flash the stock boot.img and in recovery mode restore the backup with clockwork mod?
yes, flash the boot.img boot into recovery and wipe everything except sd card and then restore the backup. After that flash the stock recovery and you are good to go

1: Phone will work with stock boot.img and backup
2:root is rom related not recovery related. The stock rom backup should be root free to receive ota's
3:stock recovery is absolutely necessary to receive ota's
4:stock recovery is related to the main version
Fastboot getvar version-main
Check if it is the 1.29 or the 2.17 version. You need the recovery corresponding to that number. Example if you need the 2.17 recovery you can download any stock recovery that starts with that number !

Stock recovery's can be downloaded from there .

If you made the the backup with the custom recovery you can not use that one because it wil be the custom recovery cwm 5.8.4.0 so that's a no go
You have to download the real stock recovery !

It doesn't need to be root free. It does need to be stock, as in, all the apps are there and unmodified.

Hello!
The title pretty much says it all! Is it OK to update my One X through an OTA while I'm rooted on ICS?
Thanks :good:
Don't do an OTA update if you have a custom recovery ! As you can see in my thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2043818) you will be stuck on htc boot screen, and if you try some random method that you found on the web like i did, you might have to restore your phone with RUU . Make sure to have a stock recovery and a stock ROM before doing the update. I don't know if you have to relock the bootloader, someone with more experiences should be able to answer this
Root is no problem. You have to be on
Stock rom
Stock kernel
Stock recovery
Bootloader can also stay unlocked.

Hi everybody!
I just have restored my phone with the stock rom i previously backed up using CWM,but i didn't unrooted it;but now,the stock rom tell me that there's an official update OTA to do,and i agree with the warning,and start to download the update;when it finishes,the phone tells me to reboot to start the update..and when it do that,the phone reboot in the CMW recovery,telling me:
E:Invalid command argument
and the phone didn't do the update. what's the problem with it?i have also to unroot the phone for doing the updates?or i have to install the stock recovery?
Thanks for the help!
You need stock recovery. Bug it will not restore CWM back up. The only way for you is to flash stock ROM again. Or use stock ROM without ota update. You will not be able to update it with CWM.
