i have rooted my HOX and installed CM 10.1 for some times , after that i have came back to the stock recovery which i have taken at the time of root.
now currently i have installed new kernel on the stock htc sense rom.
my question is , can i get official OTA updates given by htc with this current condition or i have to unroot and re-lock bootloader ?

I was told that you can keep root access and you just need stock rom and stock recovery for otas...

So that means i have to unroot my HOX and re-lock its bootloader also.
am i right?
To recieve ota.. go back to ur stock nandroid.. then flash stock recovery.. all ready to go

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.

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.

You are too fast my friend, maybe his cid is not compatible to update yet !
Or run a ruu to get back to stock, or make.sure you have the rom, recovery and boot.img to stock. Then you can update the official way.

My HOX is currently on HBOOT 1.12 I am waiting for the official Jellybean update. My phone is currently rooted and the boot loader is unlocked, My CID is HTC_001 and unlocked to any network. I have some question for when i do receive the update.
Question's
Do I need to update my HBOOT to receive this official update
if my boot loader is unlocked and my phone is rooted will i need to unroot and re lock the boot loader before updating
Search people ....search. there are al so many posts with the same question over and over !!!
You need 100% stock rom, stock kernel and stock recovery ! Root can stay also ...you will lose it with the update
Bootloader can stay unlocked !

1: no the official update will update the hboot
2: bootloader can stay unlocked
3: root can stay, you will lose it after the official update . After the update you can root it again like you did on the ics rom

I am little new for hox in this, so don't mind and just take some of my questions in general please if looks common :
Would appreciate not to be much techy if possible, just in simple please would be very nice ...
After I get the final(I guess) update 4.2.2 of hox in India soon, I am then going to unlock and root so just want to clarify few things :
1) I want to know if I do boot loader unlock, "just boot loader unlock" then what advantages can I get ? [you can please just reply in I can do this, this n this (will be easy for me to catch things please)]
2) is it needed to be done just to flash recovery like cwm (like using the hasoon 2000's great tool) ?! If I flash recovery I know I can root by pushing su zip file by cwm ( I can catch that) But will I lose ota ?
3) I've heard there's another way like "adb push" the super user apk to /system/app then I can have a root . How to do that?! As I would want to do this if I won't lose the ota and if I lose ota the recovery way . (Sorry if I am mixed up. but your great help will clear me a lot)
You can ignore if you want to the above questions I asked. As all I want is to unlockbootloader and get root and still have everything stock and get the otas if any patch fixes comes in future by htc you never know , I don't want to run after loosing stock and then finding stock files and trying to put them back in to get those updates .
Would be so happy and would highly appreciate the help from such amazing people, Love n Respect Xda~!
if you unlock bootloader you lose all data, and if you root and install custom recovery you lose ota. but you can install a nandroid backup, stock recovery and stock boot.img and get back ota. so everything can be reversed. if you decide to root and install custom roms etc, please make a nandroid backup so you can get back to stock easily. and as you say you can use hasoon2000's toolkit to do all of this.

Thank you for kind reply . You said root and install custom recovery, well if I can root first (just on stock) after bootloader unlock then I don't need any custom recovery or roms. Please tell me how?! I just want root after bootloader unlock without loosing any stock recovery so I don't lose ota . Possible ?!
Other thing can't I after bootloader unlock install supersu file with stock recovery and I guess then all will be fine n I can still keep getting otas as well I guess?! Sorry I never used stock recovery so just asking . I know it comes with power n volume down key .

So what are the steps like
1) which nandroid app to use for backup and when to use at right time, like after unlocking bootloader or when?!
2) And then how to just root without custom recovery? (or if I want to root I need to have a custom recovery too?!)
3) And how to reverse ?
Please tell me

Any specific cwm recovery or any will do ?

Yes, you can get the official updates and can be installed by itself for the just app update (as APK files) even if you rooted.
but OTA update zip file( rom update) cannot be intalled by itself, so if you want to install that kind of file you need relocked & stock recovery.
But there is a way no need relocked & stock recovery is OTA zip can be installed by custom recovery "philz_touch_5.11.2-endeavoru" but the rom must be surely pure stock rom.In that way of update is just upgrading the rom only and your Hboot cannot be upgraded.

Awesome man I guess I got your point too, that as I have no other choice to lose the stock recovery as I will have to flash cwm recovery or any other to push the su for root, so then I just saw on hasoon's toolkit that there is an option to flash "your own recovery", where I then can download the stock recovery from the link you gave me first and put that file with the software and it will install it back for me... right ?! if yes then awesome!!

I don't think that HOX will get 4.3 update from htc so there is no need for stock recovery. There are very little chances thay we get 4.3 jelly bean on HOX just flash custom recovery and enjoy sense 5.

Oh I get it I cannot get major update like 4.2.2 though, if I don't do the philz_touch_5.11.2-endeavoru way but again there's a drawback for hboot.
But I guess I can manage to flash this way >> unlock bootlaoder>> flash cwm>> push su>> enjoy>> if new update comes then flash stock recovery back and update .
Need to learn how will I easily flash the stock recovery back as the hasoon2000 3rd post is confusing me a bit ..
But Wow simply Amazing answers man, great thread... it can help so many for a great start ..... even for future htc devices I guess .

mmm kartik I don't think virgolib will agree to that getting 4.2.2 aswell which I guess is being referred to rom update .
So kartik you didn't even first did the back-up to stock and even without that u got the sense update still, right that's what you are saying ?
But the thing is for virgolib that kartik did got the 4.2.2 update too being in cwm recovery
You flash stock recovery the same way as you will the custom, it will overwrite it.
