Could be.. dude if your on stock you have to lock your bootloader again to do the official HTC updates ... U do this by connecting your phone to the pc in fastboot and in cmd type
Fastboot OEM lock

You should be using stock recovery and not clockworkmod. So flash stock recovery and you need to lock your bootloader.
This tool has the option to flash recovery, at least that is what I used.

My Hasoon's All in one tool, has that option. Also you can search the web for that tool app. I tried to upload stock recovery, but looks like it exeeds the limit of 8 MB. Give me your email, I will send it to you.

Please consider putting this up on fileshare site ..
I also have the Hasoon tool and in newest version you can only flash stock recovery if you have it yourself, it is not included.
Have been looking for the stock recovery myself but failed to find it.

Fantastic.
I flashed this recovery using the tool and rebooted the phone.
Then i installed the OTA update (No need to relock bootloader)
Then i reinstalled CWM and SuperSU .
Now my phone is at 2.31 and rooted.
Sweet that i dont have to listen to the SMS tone over and over again just informing me that there is a firmware update available.
Thanks for the help, much appreciated.

I have the same issue right now. My only concern is when you locked the bootloader did you lose your data? It's my gf phone and when I unlocked the bootloader it wiped data from the phone and she got really mad

Okay, so I recently noticed that there was an icon that said "Custom" and it was an unlocked lock on my start up. And, when I try to do an OTA update, it fails. I even flashed the stock recovery. And, when I try to install custom ROM's, it says something like "Error 7, installation aborted."

Well i'm almost 100% sure that all roms now require an unlocked bootloader, so by unlocking it and flashing a custom recovery you should be able to flash roms and it'll make the custom icon go away as well.

If your already rooted just download EZ Unlock from the market and it'll do it with the press of a button I advise flashing a custom recovery first though.

that would be safe general rule now, do all your backing up, flashing, etc, by manually booting into recovery first, that's the only sure fire way to make sure it gets flashed on okay. I don't even keep rom manager on my phone anymore and i used to use it religiously on previous phones.

Unlocking the boot loader should kill it.
Hello. I am new to the HTC one x coming previously from an HTC inspire. I am with att. I followed the directions and unlocked the bootloader. I have been reading and noticed S-Off is still being worked on. I'm Confused on what my next step is to load a custom ROM. Sorry I know this has probably been answered but I'm still confused. Can I do the next set of steps without a computer and just do it from my phone? I downloaded an app called recovery manager not sure of that will help me out. Thanks for any help you guys can provide. I'm on 2.20 and 4.0.4 thanks again.

I think at that time after unlock of the bootloader you will need to install a recovery software the one we use is TWRP i would stick with 2.2.0.0 and install it thought goomanager that is avaliable though the play store.
Instructions : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1677447
To use goomanager I need to be rooted though right?I don't think I'm rooted. Farthest I have gotten so far is unlocking the bootloader. And I'm not sure what to do after that. I'm not sure if I can do the rest from my phone (which I hope I can). Thanks ks for your help.

You can just flash a custom ROM, which will have SuperSU or SU cooked in. Only need to flash SuperSU if you want to stay on stock ROM and have root.
you made your situation sound different. the steps i take is use my token, flash recovery, then flash a rom or supersu depending if i want a custom rom or keep using stock.
Hi all,
just bought HTC Butterfly X920D 3 days ago from a guy. I realise he has root this device bcos I cannot do OTA update. System check download the update but failed to install. After that I search for a fix n found CWM & Rom manager. I flashed recovery & try to apply the update manually buy CWM says E:Cant mount sdcard, can access cache, blocking device required. Then I look for another fix and arrived here. After all that mess, I tried to factory reset the device via setting in phone is but after resetting n restarts, my HTC is entering recovery again and I opted from the menu selected "boot systems now". It booted andall the contents is still there!
Looks like the reset function isn't working anymore. Any suggestions on what I shud do?
Thx on advance. Cheers
you have to install the original recovery before applying the OTA.
I have it here
Flash it via bootloader

You guys need the stock recovery in order to install the OTA. It won't work with a custom recovery, it'll just boot to the custom recovery and not do anything. You can install the OTA with s off and root but you still need the stock recovery. You install the stock recovery the same way as you did the custom.

You can install the update, and when you have the chance you can s-off using the weaksauce/supersu/firewater method. I picked up a new M8 a couple nights ago and took the update, and afterwards did the temproot/firewater method and it worked just fine. Hope this helps.
I flashed stock recovery and tried the OTA and it failed twice. I can't seem to get it on my phone through any of the methods for some reason.
In order to install update, you need to have STOCK recovery and STOCK Rom....NOT debloated or with mods....STOCK.
Again, you need STOCK recovery using a STOCK Rom.
If you have modified the system in anyway, it WONT work until you put it back to STOCK.

No need to take ota. Ota us our enemy. Lol. The ota has been pulled an you can simply flash the firmware an that's half of the ota an then flash a stock Rom based off 1.55 or install the backup that was posted of a pure stock 1.55 Rom. After those 2 things you will have the full ota. New radios everything.. flashing a stock recovery taking ota flashing back is not needed.

Thanks guys it was annoying having that update keep popping up and no real computer to lookup info or soff. As for getting updates after roming the phone usually just wait for authors to incorporate the updates. But I did not realize you can't have two recoveries like you can on Motorola phones which is good to know.

New to android here.
I rooted the device with WeakSauce and use Firewater for S-Off. I didn't flash any custom recoveries. I did freeze some apps with Titanium Backup. If I do the OTA, 1) will it work? and 2) will it remove my root and/or s-off?
