To do the OTA you need to flash the official recovery do the ota and then reflash twrp. No need to lock the bootloader.

OTA

Rename it to recovery.img and copy it in the fastboot folder of the pc, then you put the phone in the bootloader/fastboot usb mode.
Open the command window on the pc inside the fastboot folder and type
Fastboot erase cache (enter)
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (enter)
Fastboot erase cache (enter)

Hello,
ok i thought i would give you a quick rundown of what im doing
1 - i unlocked the bootloader and flashed using the tools on here
2 - i received the software update via OTA
3 - however because i have unlocked and flashed it just loads the recovery option
so basically i want to remove the unlock and flash as per step 1 above
thanks

You don't need to relock the bootloader to be able to update, what you need is stock rom (the way it came out of the box) root is no problem but if you removed bloatware the update will fail. You also need the stock recovery and the stock kernel.

Open the command window on the pc inside the fastboot folder and type
Fastboot erase cache (enter)
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (enter) - do i enter Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img or do i enter Fastboot flash recovery (file path) then recovery.img?
Fastboot erase cache (enter)
and when i got to the folder containing the fastboot, i double click fastboot and a cmd window appears then disappears straight away, however if i open the HTC application and the select bootloader the cmd window stays

Ah oke, what you must do is, go with the windows explorer to the folder, point the mouse in the folder, hold shift and right click the mouse. Then select open command window here......you will see a dosprompt and there you must enter the commands

OMG Please Help me!

Ok I think I've actually broken my One X.
I was trying to put a default ROM back onto the system, I had my phone plugged into my PC, and "ran Android_Revolution_HD_Super_Wipe_One_X"
STUPIDLY I deleted a couple of files off the SD card in Windows Explorer, and now I cant get into recovery mode for ClockwordMod Recovery (as I'm assuming like an idiot I deleted it somehow)
Literally if I boot the phone it won't go past the HTC welcome screen.
I apologise profusely if this is already covered elsewhere - but I am an absolute noob and do not understand much of the jargon. I shouldn't have messed in the first place, I could cry
1. Fastboot and erase the cache, that will then allow you back into the recovery.
2. Fastboot the boot.img to your phone, as S-OFF won't allow the clockwork to flash it.
3. Don't panic. You can always recover the phone through Fastboot.
I should know, i was once in your position.
thanks for the reply,
I read about erasing the cache, but I have no idea how.
the guide just says type it into your pc
sorry again for being thick!
No problem.
Do you have fastboot open on your pc? if so.
Type : fastboot erase cache
Then download the Boot.img from ARHD, and follow the instructions.
Mike has included a .bat file that will automatically erase the cache and flash the boot image. I suggest going on to his forum and running the file.
I know I have downloaded it (I'm so lost) but the file in my downloads isn't something that opens a program?
Thanks a bunch!
It should have a .bat named install-boot, it shouldn't run a program, but open in CMD with options displayed on what to do next. Follow the instructions and you'll be fine.
ok I don't have a file called install-boot, just adb, fastboot and a few .dll files. both exe files flash cmd but it doesnt remain open.
any chance you can point me in the direction of this software as it would appear i have the wrong thing!

It seems like we need to get back to basics a bit. Are you familiar with MS-DOS? Those programs are not meant to be run from windows by clicking on them. They are run with command lines typed in a DOS type window that is opened when you type "cmd" into your search box in windows.

sorry, confusing fastboot and flashboot I think,
I'm being told that I'm missing adbwinapi.dll - looking into it
I'm no genius but I'm not usually this bad, just so worried - got the phone 12 hours ago, naturally feeling sick!
ok, followed the steps with flashboot (ran the cache delete and install-boot)
still not let into recovery. it goes past the htc sense screen, all black with a mobile with green arrows in a circle (like a sync) which eventually changed to a triangle with '!' in it.
what am i missing?
You can't delete recovery through windows explorer for the record.

That's stock recovery it sounds like. Just relock your bootloader ( fastboot oem lock) then run an ruu. Then once booted you can start all over.

sorry noob alert again: how do i do this?
Sounds like it has the stock recovery on it. Download the Cwm recovery and you should have a file called recovery.img. Place this file in the adb platform-tools folder. Go to that location in cmd prompt then type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img or you can find on xda via search one x all in one kit which if you download and open then put your phone in fastboot mode via bootloader will allow you to flash Cwm recovery and should do it for you

int the adb platform-tools folder? again im very very sorry, but where is this?
When you downloaded adb did you download the exe or zip version. If exe download zip version then extract it place the contents on your c drive then when using cmd use the cd commands to get to the correct folder.

ok, I have managed to boot a recovery (i think) and can now get into CWM, only problem now, is that my PC no longer recognises my phone in order for me to put any ROM files onto the SD card so that it can load them?
Yes Cwm does not support sd mount atm. I think you will need to refer to the post by someone saying relock bootloader and flash ruu. You will need to find and download the ruu that matches your device. ie network your on and country ur in. As I'm guessing you have deleted the rom image of the sd or nand backup?

[Q]How to flash RUU

How to flash Ruu ?? I have S-off rooted using infra ROM an overclocked I want to update my radio firmware. Bcoz getting poor battery can any one give me a guide plss..
thanks in advance
Sent from my HTC Wildfire S using XDA Premium App
Just run the exe file.............connect you phone and follow the instructions.......
Is it that hard that you had to ask???
It's not that simple. Here's what you need to do:
Charge the battery above 50%.
Relock the bootloader using the following command:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
Then boot the phone into bootloader and select Fastboot using the volume rocker and pressing power. Then connect the USB cable. You should see FASTBOOT USB.
Run the RUU from Windows and follow the wizard. You may have to extract and re-flash the stock recovery from the RUU for it to work, I don't remember.
Once the install is done you'll have unlock the bootloader again using the token you already have from the first time, reflash cwm recovery and re-root. All this will be 10x easier than the first time.
No its not the thing of hard I'm a bit scared to try the attempt.bcoz my one friends phone got bricked while trying this I don knw wat wrong step he did so I don WAN my phone to get brick like tat simple.
Q. I jus WAN a proper guide guys could any one help

Sent from my HTC Wildfire S using XDA Premium App
I'm not sure what you are saying. If you unlocked the bootloader with HTC dev then you must relock it before flashing. Either way it will be locked after.
how do I relock the boot loader, I've gone to terminal emulater typed in fastboot oem lock but it comes up with fastboot not found.

Boot the phone into HBOOT, select FASTBOOT with the volume rocker and press the power button. It will turn red. Then plug it into your computer with the USB cable and it will say FASTBOOT USB.
Open a command prompt and type in the command.

OK i did that and it now says RELOCKED Yay!
But when i try to install the RUU update it gets halfway through and says failed
is this because i have CWM and root still going ?
Do i need to clear Root, Remove CWM as well as relocking the bootloader ?
im sorry to keep mithering you
OK, you have to revert to the stock recovery. While the RUU wizard is open, find the temporary folder it created. (Open Explorer in windows and type %temp% in the navigation bar.) There will be two folders with long encrypted names. In one of them you will find ROM.zip. Open it with 7zip and extract recovery.img. Flash it from FASTBOOT USB (like before) using the command
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Then re-run the RUU and it should finish.

[Q] Update for ONE X

Hey everyone
My htc one x is asking me for an update, and I'm wondering if I can update it and still keep the Root?
Bcuz I've tried to update it, and it gave me a notice that something went wrong while trying to install the update.
* I've a rooted phone.
From what I've seen on youtube it won't

Root should not interfere the update, is your rom 100% stock (no bloatware or apps removed?)
If you are on a custom recovery, you have to flash back the stock recovery. The update will not run on a custom recovery !

Yea but how can I put on the stock recovery?!
fastboot getvar version-main
Take the first bit, like 2.17 and search for the recovery here, then
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
You have to flash it with fastboot command.
What is your software number ? Is it 2.17 android 4.0.4 ?
If yes then download this file
http://db.tt/U5CK4noo
Rename it to recovery.img and copy it in the fastboot folder on the pc
Then put the phone in fastboot usb mode and open a command prompt inside the fastboot folder on the pc and type
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Fastboot erase cache
After this you boot back into the O.S. and update again

What he means is, that you have to have tools first. But you don't need whole Android SDK. Download this and extract it in Documents folder for example. (there shouldn't be spaces in path to the folder, afaik)

Then run command line in folder "Win32" (shift+right click on blank space in folder > Open command window here). Then you can run the provided commands

Just wondering for later, do I understand correctly then that if I have removed some bloatware, even if I return to stock recovery I will not be able to recieve OTAs?
Tangentially - any recommendations on the best way to know if particular bloatware apps are safe/unsafe to remove (how deeply are these apps built into the ROM?)
Yes need original recovery for install update

The minute you reflashed the custom recovery you make a NANDROID BACKUP ! After that you can do what you want. When the phone needs to be updated you restore the nandroid backup and the stock recovery and you will be able to update the official way
And yes you are right, if you remove any bloatware or system apps the phone will not update !

[Q] Stuck on boot screen,

Im sorry if this has been answered so many times but ive spent about 4 hours looking around and i couldnt understand half of the solutions that were out there. My problem is that i attempted to root my htc one x and i succeeded. Then i tried to put the new jellybean 4.2.2 cyanogen10.1 mod nightlies or something like that. This failed terribly. I have no back ups or anything what so ever. I dont care about anything i may have lost, i only want to get the phone working again. I know i should have researched this further before trying, but yeah... if anybody has done the same thing and solved there matter i'd be so grateful. it still responds on fastboot. heres some info on the bootloader screen. I tried factory resetting it, clearing the cache...none worked.

Best to do is :

Adb reboot bootloader
Then flash the boot.img and reboot

Hi, same problem here..
my phone got stuck on the startup screen (HTC quietly brilliant). But my case is different because im a total noob, newly registered here. I bought my htc one x that is already in CM10 jellybean mode. last night i got a notification for cm10 update, I just click it without thinking much (cause im a noob) then after rebooting it just freezes... I hope senior members here can help me, i reallly dont want to lose my data..
You probably updated to CM10.1. You need to take the update's boot.img and flash it in fastboot.

You place the boot.img file from the CM10 rom.zip (its inside) in the fastboot folder on the pc, then you put the phone in the bootloader
Open the command window in the fastboot folder(point in the fastboot folder hold down shift + right mouse button- open command window here) and type

Does it usually took a long time for every command to complete? im entering fastboot erase cache and <waiting for device> appear and its still there right now..
just to be sure, the bootloader mode is when the HBOOT is highlighted blue am i right?
oh i hate myself..
It should say
Fastboot usb in red text above that
In bootloader you should highlight fastboot using volume keys and press power. Then fastboot mode should be engaged and FASTBOOT USB text visible.

Do you have HTC syncmanager installed on the pc ? Uninstall it but leave the drivers when asked !
Reboot the pc and the bootloader....check again.
And you should have a myhtc in the device manager when the phone is plugged in the pc

[Q] Factory reset and flashed a new rom. I have no google apps, recovery won't load.

I have google apps in a .zip, but no way to access them. My recovery won't load. It's stuck on "checking SD card update..."
How do I fix this or have I turned my phone into a paperweight?

I've been running CM for several months, I've never had Sense 5. I installed the new CM Nightly, and it wouldn't boot, so I had to factory reset my phone and flash an old version of CM. It booted, but the Gapps didn't install. Now when I go back into my recovery (Clockwork), it won't load properly.

Ok. Does it matter that I'm using a different computer than the one I used originally?
How exactly do I do this, does my phone need to be on or off or what's the story?
Thanks very much.

phone must be in bootloader and you need fastboot files. how come your phone is on CM10 yet you don't know this fastboot thing?

I had great trouble doing it the last time. It took me several hours and I came close to bricking it a few times. I'm pretty technologically incapable. It's my bootloader thing that won't load anyway, so that's no use to me.
Is there any chance you could be a saint and compile together detailed instructions for me? If not, no worries, but I'm a bit of an idiot.

If you hold shift and right click in side the fastboot folder, it will open a cmd window in that location.
To navigate in cmd you use the CD command
E.g
CD C:\\ will take you to the root of C drive.
CD C:\\fastboot will take you to the folder "fastboot" and so on.

Ok, I've figured out what I was doing wrong. I had my phone plugged into the USB while trying to load the bootloader, and of course that wouldn't work. All is well now, thanks very much.
