[Q] HOX 4.2.2 OTA update on VODAP021

Hi all,
Apologies for being a noob or reposting.
I received OTA android 4.2.2 upgrade on my rooted HTC one X. It was my understanding that i need to unroot my HOX to get OTA. I relocked the bootloader and deleted SuperSU using multiple guides on internet. Info as following:
Current version: 3.14.862.27
CID: VODAP021
Radio: 5.1204.162.29
Vodafone Australia
current status:
S-ON
RELOCKED
Can access recovery anymore.
I cant find the appropriate RUU. Please help!
How can i update my phone.

you don't to be locked to receive ota, you need stock rom, stock boot.img and stock recovery and also to be unrooted as you already know. so unlock bootloader again and flash the 3.14 stock recovery then make sure there are no su files left in your system/bin or system/xbin folders

Thank you for replying,
Where do i get the 3.14 stock recovery. Is this the same as RUU?. Do i need to do anything with RUUs?
For some reason the CWM Recovery i had is gone as well. please help and i am exhausted searching the net for weeks.

stock recovery 3.14>>>>>https://www.dropbox.com/s/2eecmiricuxv7u0/recovery.img
No need RUU.I think your in stock rom, if so just flash this stock recovery via fastboot (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img) then check update OTA & install it.

And you don't need to unroot either. It will be lost in process. Reroot after updates

Thank you for the input.
I did all the above and now the installation starts, Gets to about 30% and displays a red triangle with exclamation mark. The phone status is: UNLOCKED. Do i need to relock it to get updates.
Please help!!!
Thanks

I did delete system apps. I just dont know how to get this to work. Yes i did back up everything.
Thanks.

Well then restore the full stock rom. You need :
Stock rom
Stock boot.img
Stock recovery

The backup seems to be corrupted. Can you please link me to the correct ROM I can use to restore system files and install OTA update.
Thanks heaps.

firmware

i got an htc one m8 yesterday and it already had twrm in it . I tried uninstalling it but couldnt and ended up loosing the firmware , Later I download a so called stock android version and flashed it .
I checked the download mode .. It shows tampered Unlocked and S-ON
So.,I need help in unrooting the device and get the original android version so that OTA updates
I have less knowledge in checking if i already have the official firmware and if it is unrooted. If not how do i get it
my software number is 1.54.401.5 and i have an international version
Thank u

If you want to return to stock you're not alone. There are tutorials.

You don't need to unroot or relock the bootloader to download and install an OTA. Just install a stock recovery and make sure the OS is stock with nothing deleted.

[Q] Help! Desperately in need of a Stock Kernel.

Would anyone be kind enough to link or attach the Stock kernel for Android 4.4.3 [2.22.401.5] 'CID: HTC_001' International. I have searched everywhere, couldn't find one. The only way I can get one is by downloading a huge nandroid backup and search for the boot.img, but this is not an option for me right now.
And, Is it possible to OTA update while Bootloader is unlocked (HTCdev) and S-ON but with everything else is stock?? (Stock 2.22.401.5, Stock Kernel, Stock recovery.)
Thanks and Please help! [If these questions were asked before, please post a link to that thread/post before deleting my post]

[Q]A problem with HTC TW RUU

Hey, guys. I bought my htc deisre 816 in taiwan and I don't like sd card write restrictions, so i unlock my bootloader and flash costum rom to fix it.
Now, I have a big isuess with my touch screen,finally I try to reback to stock rom,but It didn't work on my phone.
The ruu download net :http://pan.baidu.com/share/init?shareid=2244013006&uk=288682052 password gbe4
It from a Chinese forum call GFan. The net : http://bbs.gfan.com/android-7658364-1-1.html
I got isuess for the ruu video : https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4yi7qYtkploc2k4aWNBSjJDU2s&authuser=0
So, can any one help me to fix it ?? Thanks :laugh::laugh:

Did you re-lock the bootloader before trying to flash the RUU?
Also "it didn't work can someone fix it" doesn't really give us any information. What exactly isn't working.

I am in Taiwan too,I flash cm12 android 5.0 . it is very good ROM .Do not back to stock ROM.that is my suggest.

To fix your touchscreen issues you need to go back to stock and update your device while on stock to get your bootloader to 3.19 as 3.18 is known to give touch issues especially with ROMs. If no updates are available then you must wait for the update to be pushed to your device model.
Also, you can't just use an RUU while your on a custom ROM. You have to restore a nandroid backup of your stock device with root, unroot, reboot to bootloader, flash stock recovery, and then relock bootloader. Start up your phone and at this point now you can use the RUU.
The only time you can do an RUU restore from a custom ROM, especially CM; is on devices that have S-Off as they completely wipe and reflash entire parts of the system.
Finally, the zip that miniwhooper posted has SD write permissions enabled along with init.d support and busybox.
This zip can be used during the root process instead of using the SuperSU zip by chainfire.

can i get OTA with stock 4.16 and stock recovery?

hey guys
i have back to stock 4.16 with Twrp backup and i installed stock recovery for 4.16 now iam s-on unlocked bootloader , i got message to update to 6.12 , is it ok to install it ? or does it work with no problem?
Best Regards.

Needs to be stock, never rooted TWRP backup (unrooting doesn't work).
If its says "software official" (I think that is what it says, something to that effect) on the bootloader screen, it should be okay.
If it says "software modified", than OTA will likely not install.

RUU should work (doesn't matter if phone is rooted or custom recovery) as long as OP relocks the bootloader. Although its not clear if OP wants to keep their data (which restoring to stock and OTA should be able to do) which is what some folks want. RUU will wipe the phone.
