I've rooted my HTC One X ( ICS CIDnum H3G_001) and flashed ViperX 2.7.0 (ICS) custom ROM. I tried to upgrade ViperX 3.7.8 (JB) and flashed the appropiate boot.img but after installation was frozen on the ViperX 'HTC Quietly Brilliant' splash screen so I reverted back to stock ROM through Nandroid backup and relocked my bootloader so I could install the stock OTA JB update. Now all I get is ...this device is for development purposes...etc. in red text on my 'Quietly Brilliant' splash screen. I'm back on ICS stock ROM with bootloader unlocked but would dearly be able to install the ViperX JB ROM.

Help would be greatly appreciated.

Any suggestions? :good:

Thanks in advance.

Are you saying if I do a Nandroid backup with my current ROM then save it to my laptop, do a factory reset I don't have to lock my

bootloader to get OTA updates Mr. Hofs?

P.S. Sorry about the delay, been offline.

No in order to receive ota you do not need to relock the bootloader, all you need is stock rom, kernel and recovery

on htc phones, unlocked bootloader can receive and update ota, but have to on stock rom and stock recovery?
and i wanted to ask, is there any difference between "LOCKED" and "RELOCKED" bootloader?

correct but i believe the question was aimed towards OTA's and not warranty and as such, no locked and relocked act the same.

yes, my question is referring to ota, i didn't care much about it but, is there any way to change it into "LOCKED" again, if there's no method it's ok either.
