directory for HOX official updates - HTC One X

i have HTC one x which is rooted and unlocked boot loader but i checked for updates after i got it unlocked and rooted , there was a new update i downloaded it and tried to install when i restart the update should be installed but every time i click restart to update the device restarts but dose not install the updates instead the device boot into TWRP recovery screen, so my question is how can i install the official updates? or is there is a way to install them manually using TWRP Recovery screen?

Is your rom still stock ? (No apps deleted) then you need the stock recovery.
What software number are you on now
2.17, 3.14 or even higher ?

Flash this recovery back and try to update again
http://db.tt/C1SWP2ZJ

what would this file do exactly? will it relock the boot or unroot
sorry im new in all of this so basically i know nothing

No you need the stock recovery (HTC) because the custom recovery that we use to flash roms is not capable of handling official update files from htc.
This will not lock the bootloader, it will only replace the custom recovery so that you are able to install the OTA update.

worked and updated thanks for the help

No problem ! :thumbup:
CASE CLOSED !

BUT it unrooted the phone so i had to root it again, no biggie

Yeah thats normal ! But indeed no biggie....enjoy the day

Start unlocking bootloader and download update again (press check update).
Maybe a stupid question, but where can I find the stockrecovery? I made a nandroid, but that happened also with CWM...

You don't need to install the backup.You make a nandroid backup in case something goes wrong.After that you take this recovery:
http://mirror.rawempire.org/baadnewz/recovery.img
After this you can update to 1.29.After you updated to 1.29 you have to reflash CWM and after that reflash the Super SU.You don't need to install you'r backup.

[SOLVED]update OTA without relocking the bootloader

dear XDA members ,,, as i got a lot of solutions in this form and i see the OTA updates are making problems for many users ,,, here is the solution for people who unlocked the bootloader and installed CWM recovery ......
ON STOCK ROM ...
1- you dont need to relock the bootloader ..
2- download voodoo rootkeeper .. (from market) and run the program and click protect root.
3- you will need your original recovery that you changed to CWM ..
example: if you had 1.28.415.9 and you installed CWM then you need recovery.img for 1.28.415.9 .
install the stock recovery from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24738635#post24738635
4-install recovery.img from fastboot ..
5-boot into phone and OTA update the one x to 1.29.xxx .
6-after update is done just open rootkeeper and click restore root ,,
7-DONE
a big thanks for xda members and im happy to help ...
Nice m8

Actually I never really had to relock the bootloader to apply an OTA... just flashing the stock recovery and keeping the unlocked bootloader + rooted custom ROM did the trick for me... Tho its not a really good idea to install an OTA patch on top of a custom ROM.
i added ( FOR STOCK ) what i know if you have custom rom you wont receive OTA ... will you ???!!!! ... my solution is about if you are still on Stock ...
if you search google youll see people talking about locking the bootloader and removing root and all kind of crap ...
...since the radio is part of the rom now and the only "advantage" of flashing a RUU is an hboot update.
So what is the "advantage" of an newer hboot? If someone finds an exploit on the 0.43 hboot which is fixed on newer hboots you gonna cry (-:
So my advice..stay on lowest hboot until we get S-OFF.
I also didn't have to relock my bootloader.
Just restored my default back up with cwm before root. Fastboot restore to original recovery (stock), update and done. Went back to fastboot and restored cwm, rooted the phone and done.

May I post this in the HOS Section ? Thanks
What i did was flashed stock recovery, downloaded and installed the update done, that's all i did and root was intact, that was like last month
I'm still haven't issues installing the OTA update.
I followed your instructions and I still get the red triangle error
EDIT:
just did some fishing, and it's because my stock rom is so heavily modified that the OTA won't update anything
hi, quick check, do i still need to flash back CWM or it will include back CWM?

the OTA will not include CWM, as CWM is not stock.

Forgive me for the noob question but how would one find out which stock recovery was on phone before I flashed cwm. Didn't take note before hand

Whatever Rom version is shown in "about" e.g. 1.26, 1.28, 1.29 , then this is the recovery version you need

help updating hboot

I want to upgrade my hboot so i can run a jb rom. How do i go about doing this? My current hboot is 0.43.00000 and cid is H3G__001. It is also S-ON but unlocked.
First : are you on a custom rom now and do you know how the recovery and fastboot commands work ?
And did you make a nandroid backup of the stock original rom ?
I am on stock 4.0.3 and yes I know how the fastboot commands work. I know how to use clockwork recovery if that counts too.
Oke maybe an easy one, is the rom full stock as in no removed bloatware apps or any other stuff ?

I'm not sure what you mean. It has all my apps on but nothing is custom on it. And i also have a backup of this rom.
Oke lets test it !
Flash back this recovery and start updating
http://db.tt/W5IJ8asG
You will loose root when its updated but you re-root very easily after the update !
It all flashed ok and nothing seems to be different.
No that's correct but to be able to update the phone you have to be on stock recovery, stock Rom and kernel .... Now go into settings - info - software updates (or a similar menu) and start checking for updates. At least an update to android 4.04 sense 4.1 should pop up !
Yup an update came up. Should I install it?
Yes please, then we know if all is stock enough to update
Ok it updated to android 4.0.4 and sense 4.1 what now?
Depends if your carrier has rolled out the JB update yet, but i think not .....
Nope they havent. I'm on three uk btw.
Then you have to options
1 stay on stock untill JB is available
2 flash the custom recovery and perform a new NANDROID BACKUP, and flash a custom rom. Or root this one again
but i need a better hboot for a jb rom. My hboot has changed to 1.12.0000 now.
Yes that's correct, you can't go to JB at this moment. The unofficial firmware is also not released for you .....so you must have patience
Okie, thanks for the help! ^^
No problem

[Q] JB

hello dudes... my cid no is "HTC__023"... when i first got the phone I made an OTA update when my bootloader had been still locked.... then i unlocked it, flashed a custom recovery, and flashed the ICS Android Revolution which i still hv now... ok i want to upgrade to jelly bean. i downloaded this stock RUU "RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_hTC_Asia_WWE_3.14.707.24_Radio_5.1204.162.29_release_296434_signed"
which i thought was the correct one for me... it's saying that the image version is being updated from (Image version: 2.17.728.5) to (Image version: 3.14.707.24)... after it starts updating the signature, it gives me ((error 159: image error))... hv i missed sth ?

I think that you have take a incorrect RUU and if i am correct your phone now is a.... XD!
Any ways i dont know a lot of RUU but seem to be incorrect because the numbers doent matxh "x.xx.728.x" "x.xx.707.x", and i think that these three numbers have to be the same!

If you are asking a question, you need to ask your question in the correct subforum, which I have moved this thread to.
There is no usable ruu for you, and i don't see a "new" nandroid backup either. But you can do this :
Download here your matching firmware. The HTC__023 one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957376
Place the file in the fastboot folder and rename it to firmware.zip
Put the phone in the bootloader and relock it. Then flash the firmware
Fastboot oem lock
Fastboot oem rebootRUU
Fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
Do it multiple times until it says Oke, if it does not the first time !
Reboot the bootloader (hold power button and volume - button until you are in the bootloader)
Unlock the bootloader, flash a custom recovery and install a new JB rom of your choice
Even if the rom is stock or it's not possible.
In fact there is a JB stock nandroid you can use. But you have to update the hboot first
http://bugsylawson.com/index.php/files/file/186-cwm-nandroid-backup-cid-htc-023-3177281/
ok but i meant to say can i use ANY stock rom of my choice coz i want full arabic support or maybe i shd stick to my cid -related roms?
When you upgraded the hboot you can use any rom out here. Custom roms, stock rom.....whatever you want. The only cid related rom here is that stock nandroid backup i linked you. 99% of the custom roms here are based on the wwe base.
Thank you very much for giving a helping hand... it worked... i flashed the firmware successfully ... one last thing: generally, we flash a stock recovery and relock the bootloader before we install a stock RUU using the computer i mean ... Can i now, after flashing the firmware, install ANY stock RUU, arabic to be specific, using the computer as usual without flashing a stock recovery and locking my bootloader?
thank you
No you must flash a custom recovery and flash a custom rom. Or you must restore the stock nandroid backup.
You can't run a ruu. There is no ruu available for you to use.
2 choices :
1: install any custom JB rom
2: restore the stock 3.17 nandroid backup, flash back the stock 3.17 recovery. Then you be able to install official OTA
after i flashed the firmware and twrp jb recovery i cant access the sd card from the recovery anymore... pc says Mtp failed
any ideas?
ah ok got it sorted out.. i tried cwm recovery and it mounted successfully ....
Oke cool,so its all sorted now ?
Yes got it all .. thank you
However, as you can see in the attached image the internal storage is nearly full. Well I just flashed the Rom as you know. I wonder what the problem could be.

Check the installed apps list. Maybe the user installed apps before making the nandroid backup

RUU install problem

hi guys , i have a RUU 3.14 ROM that i used it so many times for returning back my phone to stock rom and kernel , there was no problem at all , i used it many times , but today it won't install anymore and gives me the BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR . !!! i was on cyanogen rom and when i see this error for first time i restored my Stock rom from CWM , then installed Stock recovery and tried again but the Error still exist . what can i do now ?!!
Return to stock with a stock nandroid backup.
But as you installed the stock rom back as you said you did why do you want to run the ruu.....its the same as returning to stock with nandroid backup.

hi man , good to see you again , last time you saved me , i downloaded RUU rom from the link that you gave it to me and everything was fine , but yesterday i got this problem and i don't know where is the problem
yea , because my nandroid backup has Stock ROM but it's rooted and with N3kernel , so when i wanna install any updates form software updates form HTC it gives error , so i need to install RUU and create a new unrooted stock ROM nandroid backup

i think you can still update if you're on stock(rooted) as long as you have stock recovery. is that right Mr Hofs?
Yes correct. Only root is no problem, but the system apps must all be present !

If you using stock rom data disconnecting could be because data connection is included in power saving feature! Try disable power save from notification status bar and click on it to select what to include, or you can do that from settings in power or battery menu-not exactly sure of position not using stock rom for ages!
