Looking for the stock evita recovery image so i can update my unlocked, rooted One X to 1.85 (yes i have ota rootkeeper). I don't want to flash the RUU or use a custom rom as I did that already and felt that stock rom was the best for me.
TIA!

RUU = ROM Upgrade Utility. Running the RUU, be it 1.73, 1.82 or 1.85 will return your phone to bone stock of that firmware. Be sure to re lock your bootloader before running the RUU.
Yeah just re-lock the bootloader, flash the 1.85 RUU, unlock it then push a recovery and root.

Ok so ready through some of the developement threads this is what i have concluded:
Given:
ATT 1.82 leaked RUU
CleanRom DE v1
Unlocked bootloader (using the 1 click method)
CWM installed (using 1 click method)
Rooted
Steps to upgrade to CleanRom DE v2 on 1.85
Relock bootloader (dont know how)
Upgrade to the stock 1.85 ruu
unlock bootloader
root
CWM flash the new ROM
Is that correct? Is the reason why we cant just flash the rom because we dont have s-off? This is my first HTC phone besides my old nexus one.

That seems about right. s-off gives us the ability to flash roms,radios,etc.

We don't need s-off to flash anything other than radios, really. We can't flash kernels through recovery but we can flash the boot.img through fastboot and then flash the ROM through recovery like normal. It was the exact same way with the Vivid.
So to get current I would just flash to the newest ruu, then root it (can you root 1.85?), then open the downloader, then flash cwm?
Just trying to cover my bases.

Is your objective to update to 1.85 and remain rooted?

If you are currently bootloader unlocked, then go into fastboot etc and "fastboot oem unlock" (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1675312).
If not, then flash new RUU.
Afterwards bootloader unlock.
Then flash CWM.
Finally flash Superuser through CWM.
Then you can flash custom ROMs (hopefully more are coming!!!).

I am not unlocked. I'm still on 1.72 just debloated and rooted. To unlock my bootloader, I just use htcdev right?
So I will flash current ruu, then unlock with htcdev, then flash cwm, and then flash the root and ill be ready?
I got a question, in the future will you always have to be on that certain ruu to flash that particular Rom? I come from the infuse where once you were rooted and had cwm, you could skip around rims by cwm every time, didn't have to do anything prior to each custom rom.

I got my HOX about 2 weeks now. I really want to flash it with a custom Rom. Tried lots of rooting instructions with no success. Phone is now back to factory reset using RRU method. I got the bootloader unlock. No success loading Clockworkmod on boatloader recovery.

I have the same issue but it says my phone says it is tapered. I want to go back to stock at least. What instructions did you follow for that?

not sure how to remove the "tampered" status but i got it back to stock using RRU method and load a stock Rogers Rom. you need to re-lock it before using RRU. my status now is Tampered and Relock.

Did you use the 1.94 RUU or did you try to Flash the 1.73 original?
You must root on 1.85. Scripts don't work on any other version.

Can I just use RRU to go back to 1.85? Please attach a link.
Thanks

Best way to root at this moment would be to unlock your bootloader using HTCDEV and flash TWRP recovery and then flash CleanRom 4.5 which will give you root as long as you kepp that rom on your phone. There could be other roms out there that will give you root access but I've flashed a few and CleanRom 4.5 was the only one that got me rooted. Until they come up with a way to perm root on 1.94 I suggest using this method.

If your bootloader is unlocked, you can root with any ROM.
If you unlock and flash a recovery-
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img
and you cant get it to boot the custom recovery heres the trick, after you flash the recovery type
fastboot boot nameofrecovery.img

So i used the method of boot loader unlock 2.20 which changes the CID to 1111111 so I can unlock the bootloader right, my question is how do I get back to stock AT&T ICS(My one X came with ICS)?
My Hboot Version: 1.14
Current ROM: Cyanogen mod 10.1
Original ROM: Stock AT&T ICS Build 2.20
Boot-loader: Unlocked
Just flash the stock rooted ROM. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671237
Just remember to S-OFF if you intend to take the OTA if you're not S-OFF already or you will brick.

Oh I'm Defiantly S-Off lol so I will either install the stock rooted one from the index of roms but if I wanted to return fully to stock non rooted how can I do that?

But why would you want to do that? Root lets you do more, and unrooting just takes away those benefits. You're doing extra steps to get a phone that is less capable. The only good reasons to go back to stock:
- Return for warranty service
- To install the OTA (you need to S-off, otherwise SuperCID will cause a brick) for the purpose of upgrading the "extra" firmware not included in the ROM itself
I have my phone rooted since the first days of having it.
Never taken OTA update so it's still on 1.85 and it's unlocked but S-ON.
Has TWRP 2.4.3.0 and custom kernel and ROM.
Wanted to try some new roms that require new 2.20 and S-OFF.
Found a method to root 2.20 and get S-OFF, but my question now is how to safely upgrade from my existing condition 1.85/S-ON to 2.20?
Thanks
Why don't you just s-off, then RUU to 3.18, flash TWRP 2.3.3.1, downgrade touchscreen firmware, and then you can flash whatever you want.

Agree. Just S-off now, then run the 3.18 RUU.
If you are on 1.85, 2.20 is just an obsolete and unnecessary middle step, at this point.
Thanks to you both. Would you point me to see off procedure for 1.85?
Or it is the same as for 2. 20?
Thanks again

Soff is the same regardless of software version. There's a sticky in the original android development section.
