have you got fastboot drivers installed? thats the only solution i know to one of those errors
If I don't get s-off for my device then only I have to flash boot.img manually every time I flash a different rom

Maybe you will not lost S-off, but even if you lost it, you can repeat s-off steps as u did before.
But what I'm sure about you have to root it again and lost OTA update

No ... RUU does not removes s off ... It only remove by fastboot command fastboot oem writesequre flag 3 or something like that... But it will not lost just flashing RUU

Just trying to clarify that if you have S-off with supercid and take the ota it will not brick your phone?

You should be fine. It may be even safer to just download the ota and flash manually.
S-off deactivates all restrictions and security checks. So these things HTC keeps adding, like /system wp and cid checks, which sometimes cause bricks when combined with non-standard setups, don't operate.
Everyone should s-off.
If you are rooted and S-off, why do you even want the OTA? Unless you want whatever updated firmware (aside from the ROM itself).
I have been having serious internet problems on my pc. I can never get ruu to finish downloading with out errors. I do have the ota zip file. I'm rooted, super cid and s-off. Is it safe to update that way or should I keep trying to get ruu to download?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Man! Why do want to ask such hard questions? I know you can install zip from sd but I could not say how safe it would be.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
I was able to when I had S-OFF and the bootloader unlocked. I RUUed to 2.20, then I applied the OTA update from the stock recovery. My phone is still kicking. I tried to get everything back to stock after that, changed to stock CID, wrote the secure flag, and then locked my bootloader. I regret doing that now as I no longer have a root method on 3.18.
That's why I'm hesitant lol I guess ill keep trying for the ruu to download. Unless I can get a 100% positive answer... I tried to dl it with my phone and straight talk just throttled me at about 450 megs so I figured I'd stop before they killed my data connection again. They shut my data off last most for like a week and a half

I flashed the ota before the ruu was released, and I've been fine. You do have to have stock recovery in place, so you'll have to run the 2.20 ruu first. You can't flash the ota with a custom recovery.

No need to relock since you're S-OFF, you can flash OTA via Stock recovery. I'm not sure what will happen if you're flashing over a custom rom... I've only ever flashed an OTA over stock ROM myself.

Oh s**t I didn't even think about that... Good call. I may have had a disater and no choice but to post a oops I f'ed up my phone thread lol I just may hold off till I can get RUU downloaded correctly.
The ota and ruu I think are like 2-3 mb different in size (ota smaller I think) what could be missing? Adb folders maybe?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Or... Would wiping everything including system in twrp then flashing stock recovery then flashing ota work?
Just off phone with HTC tech support, second teir I guess. The first guy transferred me. Told them I was rooted and all and s-off. Direct from them they told me the ota completly wipes the OS it just retains certain folders for contacts and personal info.

Now that we have the exploit to unlock the bootloader on 3.18, I thought I would give you the run down on what to expect.
The first thing that you need to know is that your hboot version will not allow you to flash custom roms properly. You will have to manually flash the boot image: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2136172 . Flashing roms without doing this manually requires a method called S-Off in witch you remove security: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2155071 If you are thinking about flashing aosp based roms you will have to s-off "FIRST" and downgrade your touch screen for them to work properly: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2159863
Hopefully this will eliminate some confusion and help you on your way.

Go here : [ROOT] HTC One X AT&T 3.18
I have been unlocked and have superCID, when trying to flash custom recovery via the fast boot it seems to install fine but when i reboot into recovery the recovery is blank any ideas? What are the steps i should properly take to gain Root,s-off etc. Any assistance would be aprpeciated.
Did you unlock bootloader via HTC dev?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Yes sir cid is 11111 via fastboot auth
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
What I am asking is if you went to the HTC dev site and received an unlock token to unlock the boot loader after gaining temp root. If so you can download goo manager from play store search for twrp and it will install it for you. Make sure you stay with 2.3..... 2.4 has issues wiping on our phones.

You will also need to install super user.

you need to hold the volume down button and power. once you get into the bootscreen choose recovery. This will load up TWRP. Once your in you can gain SU by going to advanced and fixing permissions I believe. Also note when installing custom roms you must do a complete data wipe/cache/dalvik/system or you might have boot loops or no boot at all.
You gain such by flashing su in recovery.

I have stock rom. But its rooted.Supercid is 11111111 and S-OFF.I unrooted it using the unroot option in the superuser.But i need the stock recovery so that i can get the ota update.
All you need to do is run the appropriate RUU for your phone. Look in the resource thread that is a sticky in the Android Development section, you'll find links there.

While it's easier just to RUU, it is also possible to extract the recovery image from an OTA zip file.

He wants the stock recovery so he can update via the ota. I figured less work to just run the ruu.

I agree. I just like throwing in alternative solutions for learning purposes. Ruuing is certainly the easiest
