Can I flash twrp in place of the stock recovery and obtain root like that? Then I could unlock the boot loader using a method other than HTC dev posted here in xda Then I could s off .

No, you have to unlock the boot loader and flash recovery through fastboot, it's the only way.

Custom rom, custom recovery ? At least unlock the bootloader first. Think we need to flash.....
Why should I unlock bootloader when update is official?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Rom is stock but I don't know about recovery
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
If recovery is not original we need to flash it. Unlocking is necessary
But how to find out recovery is original or not?

please post the result from command fastboot getvar all and delete your S/N and IMEI
When you enter the recovery, does it show a circle with a phone or does it go straight inside the recovery ?

When you are in the bootloader you look for the option RECOVERY.
And if you are sure there is nothing deleted from your stock rom (system apps/Optus apps) then you only need to flash this recovery and update again

I remember I have deleted some files in past but I don't know which one so what should I do now

Restore a clean stock nandroid backup. The ota patches the files, now they are missing and fails.

I had HTC Sensation (s-off) with 4ext recovery which has smartflash option for s-on users, with that you can directly flash kernel on your phone without pc, fastboot etc. So is smartflash posible for HOX ? Happy new year.
Nope, only dev work that comes close is the kernel-lighter from thunder

Is that due to hardware or ?
Yes because you need s-off to flash kernels directly via the recovery.

OK first thing I was asking you to see if you did a Nandroid Back of your Bell Stock Rom that you might need one day....but that won't work now cause your not stock completely........
Secondly if using firewater and gives you WHELP....... IT'S not going to S-Off.....so your SOL.....so now if you wanted to sell your phone and try another to get S-OFF...this is where your Nandroid Backup would of come in handy....<<<<
Now with s-off, is there a way to flash the splash/boot logo? Or engineering hboot needed?

I just figured out how to replace the splash screen. I'll help you out if you haven't figured it out yet.
