Hello and welcome to the forums Xmutantx - thanks for joining!

Now that you are rooted, do you not fancy trying a custom JB ROM? You can do that without having the stock recovery.

 

OTA updates usually require the stock recovery.

I've just had a quick look and found a couple of different custom ROM's available for the One X+ (including a couple of JellyBean ROM's) - http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1818

I would have thought that, if you were able to find a corrent RUU (ROM Update Utitlity) for your phone, then you should be able to put it back to stock... perhaps it would be worth waiting for someone else who has the same phone as you to answer

 

Would you be able to advise where you are from and who your network provider is? This could help with suggesting the right RUU for you. Also - do you know if your phone was SIM free or network locked?

 

Having a quick look for some for you at the moment

 

hi XmutantX,looks like there is an ruu allready available for the update that youre trying to recieve.

you can download the ruu from here: FileFactory Premium

i believe that simply running this ruu will be the easier way for you to get the update,over reinstalling the stock recovery so you can recieve the OTA. i used to advocate that folks leave the stock recoveries in place so that they can recieve OTAs,but as phones become more complex,there are more checks going on. as people mod their stock roms,tweek thigns,and eliminate bloat, the chances that the OTA will fail go up exponentially trying to make the OTA work can be very fustrating,and there is nothing special about it. running the ruu utility from your PC is more controled,more stable,and will get you the same end result.

heres what i would do:
-download ruu
-make backups of your user apps with titanium backup,or an equivalent app
-there are apps to back up sms and call logs,if you care about those
-relock your bootloader
-run the .exe

if relocking the bootloader throws out a security warning its no big deal,just run the utility with the phone on that screen.

after the ruu completes,you can re-unlock the bootloader,reinstall recovery and superuser,and then use your backup apps to restore user apps,sms,etc.

hope that helps,just holler if you have any questions

 

Thanks Scotty... that's what I was trying to say... use an RUU to get to where XmutantX wants to be!!

 

the toolkit will not do you any good to run the ruu,as far as i know. it may have an option to relock the bootloader for you,but thats it.

you can just as easily relock the bootloader manually,but opening a cmd window,changing to your adb/fastboot directory,and then placing the phone in fastboot,and plug it in.

enterfastboot devices in the cmd window. it should spit back your serial number.

to relock enter:
fastboot oem lock

this command will do one of 2 things:
1)lock you into bootloader with a security warning
or
2)reboot you into the OS.

wich will happen,just depends on the extent youve modded the stock rom. in either case,just run the .exe as administrator.

hope that clears up some confusion

 

the link is http://www.filefactory.com/file/4uvz43hue4ep/n/RUU_ENRC2B_U_JB_45_HTC_Europe_1.17.401.1_Radio_3.1204.168.32_release_299688_signed.exe

im downloading it now,i can upload it when it finishes,if you need me to.

 

once again,you CANNOT use the tool to run the ruu. the ruu is a utility run on your PC.

the ONLY part that you can use the tool for,is to relock the bootloader,so the ruu can be run.

 

As Scotty says, the RUU is an .exe file that you run from your computer. It will put the stock recovery and stock ROM back on the phone... there would be no need to use any toolkit

 

yup. just as easy as it was the first time. if you still have your original unlock_code.bin that htc emailed,it should be even easier,as you can reuse that,and you wont have to get the indetifier token,submit it,etc. just flash the command to unlock
