DONT INSTALL IT IF YOU HAVE A CUSTOM ROM RUNNING, THIS MAY CAUSE A PROBLEM WITH THE BOOT.IMG.

I agree with you. The zip overwrite boot.img with 1.29 and rom can have is boot.img

recovery can't flash boot as we are s-on. That's the reason why we have to flash boot img manually with fastboot for every rom and even after a nandroid restore

So can I flash THIS package with CWM, then change the recovery to default, re-lock and flash the original 1.29 firmware.zip using fastboot?

EDIT: Didn't want to wait and had the RUU just in case. I had to remove the 'three button remove mod' first, then this would flash from CWM. Afterwards I flashed back the stock 1.28 recovery, then relocked the device and flashed the firmware.zip from the 1.29 OTA with fastboot. The new radio is showing from the running system and from boot loader

EDIT 2: Of course this is a total waste of time....Unlocking the device again wipes it and you could just as well use the RUU to begin with.

@jonata ARHD as same effect on system file so no flash this file. If you search radio on hboot you can see that radio is not upgrade even if mike tell yes.
this file is for people that do't want new radio but only new system file on 1.28 base
so can I flash the modified OTA if I have flashed ARHD 5.1:confused:
becoz I have serious signal drop in Wifi

HOWTO PREPARE OTA FOR INSTALL (Remove CID script)

As my One X is rooted any OTA updates failed on "check_cid" so download the OTA to your phone and then connect to your PC, open the OTA file then navigate to META-INF\com\google\android\ then open updater-script in notepad and remove the following script

assert(check_cid(getprop("ro.cid"), "00000000" , "11111111" , "22222222" , "33333333" , "44444444" , "55555555" , "66666666" , "77777777" , "88888888" , "99999999" , "HTC_……);

Save it, then reboot to RECOVERY mode (hold power + volume down then select FASTBOOT then RECOVERY Select the update from SD Card and there you go, works perfect on Rooted One X

I just realized that I can't apply the 1.29 OTA update because if it upgrades my HBOOT on an Optus handset I won't be able to run the 1.28.980.10 RUU. Basically I have to wait until the Optus 1.29 comes out.

Have you used notepad++ to modify script? Ota is for your CID?

Update is 1.29.401.11 and I have one X europe. your 401.7 worked fine. I used notepad++, notepad and wordpad. I used explorer to open the zip file then opened script from it, I also copied it out and later replaced. I also did the same but used winrar. I did it all on windows 8 so will try on win 7 soon.

    N.B.
    If you have a OTA, Download OTA zip from one-x and copy to PC, edit the zip file META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script , Delete line >

    assert(check_cid(getprop("ro.cid"), "00000000" , "11111111" ,
    "22222222" , "33333333" , "44444444" , "55555555" , "66666666" ,
    "77777777" , "88888888" , "99999999" , "HTC__622") == "t");
    then save and try again

    p.s. Please use notepad ++
