Now, someone feel free to correct me. I do believe to get the JB OTA update, you'll have to RUU back to stock when you know the update has been pushed out. You're CID shouldn't matter in getting updates.

Probably correct. Root will either prevent you from getting the OTA notification altogether, or make the install fail (possibly even putting you into a bootloop, or stuck on the bootscreen). Likewise, unlocked bootloader will prevent the OTA from installing.
Moreover, I don't think the OP will get the OTA, since the phone is the US version, and not in the US. Probably need to download the RUU to get it at all.
And also, I would advise not installing any new OTA or RUU until folks on here have sorted out what it means to hboot, root, etc. They have plugged the root exploits for every firmware version to date, so I don't expect JB to be any different. Plus, I'll bet the JB firmware will be posted here on Development, in a safe, recovery-flashable, pre-rooted form. And probably soon after the OTA starts to hit. Maybe even before the OTA, if it gets leaked.

That is definitely not ok. Maximus is for the international One X (Tegra3 version). Completely different hardware. ROM won't work, and you might brick your phone.
Stay in the One X/XL forums that say "AT&T".
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1538
Also, just so you kow, JB has not started going out for our version of the One X. Only for the international version.
If there isn't a RUU for my phone, will it be possible for me to get the OTA update whenever it comes?
I have a backup of my stock rom, if I flash back to that when it's out will it be possible?

Stock ROM, and unrooted should be OK. But you will need to relock the bootloader too.
But I'd still just wait for the ROM to be posted in Development in a pre-rooted form, and just flash from recovery. Since you are on Telus, you will still be able to unlock the bootloader and root again (after an OTA). But why hassle with all the locking of the bootloader, returning to stock, etc.? JB will probably be posted here before you would get it OTA.
And for those on AT&T, I would definitely advise against accepting any OTA. Too many people rushed willy-nilly to accept the 2.20 OTA, then were on here complaining that they could no longer root (which for us also means no unlocked bootloader and no custom ROMs).

No word yet on JB release date for AT&T. Some folks are speculating November or December. But those are just guesses.

Scrosler based cleanrom 4.0 off the 1.85 ruu, whereas the previous one was 1.88. I also noticed the Att one x resource Page no longer has a link for the 1.88 RUU. What gives? Did we discover that 1.88 is subpar? I thought everyone agreed 1.85 was junk?

Scott decided to base Cleanrom on 1.85 because It's the official firmware from AT&T. He said there are less problems and fewer tweaks necessary to make his changes work by using the "official" firmware for the phone he develops on.
Just thought that I'd point out my battery life was MUCH better on 1.88 while using CR DE 2.3. I wish I could find that version to download again.

I see, thanks for the info. I figured that I might be able to find the answer in one of the later pages of the ROM's thread, but that it might also be heinously difficult to locate.
Did he also mention why he's decided to go with odex? Is it for the same reason?

Can't be said enough: Don't ever install an OTA on a rooted Android device.
At a minimum, you will lose root. You may also be stuck in a bootloop, or you may get stuck on an unrootable firmware (depending on what they updated, and what holes they plugged).
If you are already rooted and bootloader unlocked, flash one of the stock rooted ROMs here under "Stock Rooted": http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671237
Not sure what 1.88 was updated to. But 2.23, 2.29, 2.33 are all very recent firmware builds (2.23 is Asian region for the carrier Singtel). Only difference is the carrier bloat, and you may need to manually enter the APN info for your carrier.

If you are a noob, the best thing to do is read read read, and find out:
-What root and flashing ROMs means, and whether you will want them.
-What firmware number the new OTA is, and what has been changed.
People get all excited about a new OTA, without even knowing what has been changed. Newer firmwares include a new hboot, which patches holes which allowed flashing kernels and radios. You may not want to update.
Also, root and unlocked bootloader are both good things. There is really no reason to give them up, just for the latest firmware. If its just the newest firmware you want, as I already mentioned, there are stock rooted ROMs in the Development forum that you can flash, and probably in less steps than unrooting and installing the OTA.

Did you factory reset and wipe cache and Dalvik before flashing?
Come to think of it, that's one reason that people like OTAs, they keep your user data (but that can often be a bad thing, as I've seen it mess up the performance for some people after the OTA). Also, wiping data is not really that big a deal. With Titanium Backup Pro, I'm up and running again in about 20 minutes after wiping data and flashing a new ROM.
Can you still get into hboot and recovery?

Hello!
I have recieved the Android 4.0.4 OTA update but am unable to install it. I had unlocked my bootloader but havent installed any ROM, and tried to do the OTA update, the phone shut down and booted up to the fastboot menu.. i relocked my phone and tried again, same result.. I called HTC and they had no idea, they got me to turn off the fast boot in the power settings, but that didnt work!
What do I need to do to get the OTA update to work?
Based on your avatar, you are in Australia? Not sure what the firmware changes are for your region. But in the US, the latest 4.0.4 firmware also changes hboot, and plugs the holes by which kernels and radios can be flashed from recovery. In other words, not being able to install the OTA may be a good thing. It might be better to install one of the rooted stock ROMs in the Development forum.
Can't say for certain, since my US carrier (AT&T) does things so much differently than anyone else. So hopefully some folks in your region can chime in.

Hey thanks for the response.
Yeah I am in Australia, but I would like to get OTA Updates until Im comfortable with properly putting new ROMs onto my phone..
My service provider (Optus) took it's sweet time to release this update and their only solution is to take it into their shop to get it repaired/looked at..
If you are rooted, you may need to unroot.
You may also want to try finding the OTA file on the SD card and deleting it, and trying to download it again.

Yeah, Ive unrooted it.. I relocked the phone and ran the stock RUU for it.. but after a day I haven't received the OTA notification.. so I might have to wait a while for that to come back I guess..
Ok, so I have a HTC ONE X and i've had it since September and I have never gotten the 4.0.4 update. I contacted my provider (AT&T), they told me that they made the update available over the air. I went to my Settings app and clicked Check for Updates and after about a minute it went back to the same screen. I then contacted HTC Customer Support and the guy told me that they never made it available OTA. I'm confused. Is there something wrong with my phone? Help!?!?!

So you are on the 1.85 firmware?
If you have any desire to root, flash custom ROMs, etc., my advice would be to not update, and root the phone now. The 2.20 firmware includes an updated 1.14 hboot which plugs the exploits by which boot.img and radios can be flashed in recovery. This means that flashing ROMs takes extra steps of extracting boot.img from the ROM and flashing it over fastboot. You can't flash radios at all on the new hboot (with the exception of CM10 radios). People are actually downgrading the hboot, so they don't have to deal with these things.
Once rooted and bootloader unlocked, you can just flash any ROM you want, including stock rooted 2.20 or newer versions firmwares.
If you still want to upgrade the official way, and can't get the OTA, you can flash the RUU. It will wipe user data, but IMO this is a better cleaner way to update than OTA, anyway.
here is the ota http://fotadl.htc.com/OTA_EVITA_UL_...2.7-1.85.502.3_R2_releasenin45grzkfswb95v.zip

Hello,
I have HTC one X (not rooted) on ATT with version 1.85. I got an update notification in the past but I ignored it. Now I am trying to check for update it is doing nothing.
When I click on check for update nothing happens. I tried changing dates, restarting phone etc.
Can anyone help me with this?
Regards,
Alex
Maybe one of the other guys can back me up on this if I'm right, or tell me I'm a dummy? 2.2 update only locks up your phone. If you intention is to root later? I'd leave it be. And I would imagine that att is no longer interested in sending that ota because we now have a exploit for 2.2. Your next update offered will more likely have more securely locked bootloader. No fun for anyone looking to customize their HOX

2.20 update includes an updated 1.14 hboot, which plugs the holes by which kernels and radios can be flashed in recovery. Downgrading the hboot is only possible currently using a Linux computer. If the OP has any desire in the future to root, and flash custom ROMs, my advice is that he should root and unlock the bootloader now. Not sure, but I think some people have had forced OTA updates to 2.20.
I guess my question is, if I wait to update to jellybean will the method that is available today to root the phone no longer exist? It appears that someone has described a method for me to update to the AT&T version of jellybean once it's available, so that shouldn't be an issue (I hope!).
We won't really know (if they plugged the root exploit hole) until the update goes out, and people try to root. But HTC has killed the previous root method with every AT&T OTA for this device so far. So if I were a betting man, I'd say that the current exploit will not work after updating to JB.
Really, you have nothing to lose if you root now versus after the Jellybean OTA. You can always unroot and accept the OTA later, if you change your mind. Also, if you are rooted and bootloader unlocked, once the AT&T JB OTA rolls out, it will probably be posted in a pre-rooted flashable form within days (maybe even hours) of it being rolled out officially. So you can just flash that on your rooted, BL unlocked device.
But on the other hand, if you accept the OTA and cannot root, you are stuck until a new root exploit is found.
i would root now and wait until a dev gets JB and makes it compatible, because what usually happens when new software or firmware is released is the manufacturers and carriers often patch the vulnerabilities we use to obtain root.
Root it now. There's no telling if a root method for a later version will arrive sooner or later so to be safe I'd do it now. You can flash any jellybean rom you want afterwards.
Sent from my One X using xda app-developers app
One thing that can be said with confidence is that rooting and unlocking is not going to get easier with each update. It may stay the same; it may get a lot harder. So there's no good reason to wait.
I personally haven't had any issues with Viper XL 3.1 (Jellybean), so you could upgrade now if you really wanted to take advantage of some of the features. If you're looking to stay on ICS, Viper XL 2.4 and CleanRom 5.1 are really solid choices.
speaking from experience.
root it now. If you update to jellybean via ota you might run into the problem that I'm currently having. OTA updated my rogers X One then rooted it. Bootloader unlock and root went fine, but when I went to use the penultimate TWRP, the screen wouldn't respond. Had to flash the newest TWRP and that responded to touch. But now when I flash a rom it won't respond to touch. My guess is that something in hboot 2.14 has changed.

That's true, HTC is almost sure to further mess with hboot, as well as patch the root exploit.

Chongodroid flashed the new 2.14 boot and doesn't have an issue.. my guess would be some sort of firmware change/incompatibility

Which isn't to say that they will even include hboot 2.14 in the AT&T OTA. We seem to get "special" treatment (in a bad way). So I'm betting they will have an even newer hboot for the AT&T update, and f_ck us even more.
I would do it now and never accept any OTA update. My phone came with the 1.14 HBOOT, but after I unlocked the bootloader, I downgraded that using JET and haven't looked back. With an unlocked bootloader and TWRP I am not even sure how they could make the AT&T Jellybean unrootable unless you take the OTA and it screws you with a new HBOOT. My only real advice is to never take an OTA if you plan to root.
