Can someone help me out a bit, I have a Three locked phone, I have already got it sim unlocked but would like to change to the official HTC rom. What is the best way of doing it and also allow for OTA updates for future releases?

Wouldn't you need to root the phone to flash the htc official RUU onto the phone?
Then de-root the phone to allow for OTA updates?

I still get confused :p
didn't even know it was Wednesday today :D (It is Wednesday right? - Uk atleast)

RUU is the stock software package that is used on HTC Phones, different regions use different RUU's. As do different phones, Motorola use an SBF for example.

HBOOT is like the BIOS for the phone, it's the bootloader, it tells the phone what to do when you press the power button, like when you set a PC bios to run from a CD or HDD when you start it up.

Confusing

I agree, this thread is throwing up so many inconsistent info, I'm getting confused myself.
What I would like to know is if I root my phone, and use CWM Recovery, will the OTA's not work?
I don't understand why not but I saw it mentioned somewhere in this thread.
So if I wanted to use the standard OTA (provided T-Mobile release it soon) do I have to un-root and relock my phone again?

I thought you also had to change the CID which needs S-OFF

ok cool, so I could change to this rom but the OTA will not work unless the CID is changed?..... May just wait a while longer and see if there is progress with the s-off method.... fingers crossed.
Been using other non htc phones for a while so catching up with what to do and how to do it.

I Think so, I'm unlocked and rooted and the OTA didnt work, Wanted to stay on stock though at least for now so am going to look into unrooting etc.

I believe that this is the case, but it might be worth asking someone abit more knowledgable than me, I've not been doing this stuff for too long so might be getting it wrong... I used to use a HTC Sensation and it worked slightly differently to the HOX.

I think the OTA's are aimed at certain RUU's, certain RUU's are locked into phones that have a particular CID, so if you change your CID, to alter the RUU any OTA's that may have worked on your phone before you altered it might not be compatible... (Can someone check that this is right?)

But as I say I think what I've told you so far is correct, if I'm wrong someone please correct me?

Just a quick note...

Historically it's always been advised NEVER to apply an OTA file to a rooted phone. It has lead to issues with bootloops, etc with other HTC devices (e.g. Desire, Sensation) so I'd suggest either going all out and going for a custom ROM or staying stock if you want the OTAs from HTC

How do you apply this ota update then? Does it need to be rooted and flash via cwm or can it be done through fast boot.

Also is it fine on branded phones

    Htc should spend more time trying minimize issues, in that respect you've got to give to apple for their efforts. HTC should launch fewer handsets and take more pride in their products. Invest more in quality control, Having said that I still prefer htc one x over any other mobile currently in the market.
    Last year was a bad year for htc but they have turned it around with one x. Now they just need to improve their marketing and advertising. Take a leaf out of samung s book, see their ads makes you want to go out and purchase a Note.

    Actually, Apple took 12 months to fix the random restarts of the first IOS version, which were 3-5 per week!, (which when you have manual iTunes sync, after this restart - iTunes would remove all apps as auto sync would turn back on)

    Apple also took a few weeks to fix the 'heavy' battery drain in their latest IOS5 (some people were reporting full battery drain in just an hour)

    The HOX software is nowhere near as bad as this (bug wise), & this phone is only just over a week old. - I don't see the panic at all.

    Personally , my HTC is running just fine, the bugs I have or optimizations I want are soooo minimalistic that they ain't even worth moaning about, people on this forum take little bugs & make them dramatic until they get what they want.

    My battery truly trumps my SGS2, my H/3G constant streaming test was a whopping 9hrs 15 minutes,

    My browser is truly a revolution, never used one sooo good before.

    People will always complain, more so than people will boast of their phone, so especially on a forum - it would seem bug reports are stacking up, which is not the case.

    Sure, we all want 1.28 but only because testers received 1.27 which reported even greater battery - without this news, nobody would be any wiser.

    Care to share how you managed to do that? :)

    Lets say someone is busy with that, and when it's done. It will be shared!
