[Q] Official Update for LOCKED Bootloader with S-OFF and SuperCID - HTC One X+

Hello.
I have purchased a new HOX+ International Version from eBay. The carrier is unlocked to work with Indian GSM operators, and the bootloader is LOCKED with S-OFF and SuperCID. When I checked for Software Updates, it said There are no updates available for your phone.
I have gone through this thread. However, I couldn't find any information that would help me.
I am looking for the Official Android 4.2.2 with Sense 5 OTA update. How do I get this?
If that is not possible, can I flash the firmware from this thread? From what I understand, the firmware belongs to HOX (Not Plus) T-Mobile Germany. Will this work on my HOX+ like the official update? Can I flash it as per the steps mentioned in that thread or do I have to perform any addition steps?
I have seen that there is a custom ROM by InsertCoin based on Android 4.2.2 with Sense 5 for the HOX+ . But I really want the Official version. Is there any hope for me?
Also, will changing the ROM, Rooting/Unrooting the Phone, Locking/Unlocking the Bootloader in any way affect my Unlocked Carrier mode?
Sorry for too many questions in one post.
The Bootloader screen displays the following information:
*** LOCKED ***
EVITARE_UL PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
CID-11111111
HBOOT-1.32.0000
CPLD-None
MICROP-None
RADIO-SSD:1.09.55.17
eMMC-bootmode: disabled
CPU-bootmode : disabled
HW Secure boot: enabled
MODEM TYPE: MDM9215M

I have attached screenshots of Software Information from the About section in Settings.
Please help.

Nobody?
Okay, I'll try and summarize my problem.
1. Is it possible to somehow get the OTA Update for Android 4.2.2 with Sense 5 on my HOX+ with a LOCKED bootloader, S-OFF and SuperCID? If not, can I safely flash the firmware from this thread which is for the HOX (not Plus).
2. Will changing the ROM, Rooting/Unrooting the Phone, Locking/Unlocking the Bootloader in any way affect my Unlocked Carrier mode?
Please help. :fingers-crossed:

You can relock bootloader with toolkit and flash any RUU of HOX+ you want (since you have super CID and S-OFF ), then you can receive OTA updates

I think you are quite lucky to get the S-OFF device.
Anyways, first of all, what you got is not International device (ENRC2B_U), but AT&T version of One X+.(EVITARE_UL)
As you said, you said you see such information is on the bootloader;

So, I have to say, but I am so sorry that there is no 4.2.2 Sense UI 5 update for AT&T One X+, and it will release in the end of the year, or the first half of the next year.

But my bootloader is already locked. And there's already an RUU running on it.

Whoa! I was shocked to learn that! I always thought that the AT&T phones do not have the HTC branding at the top-center of the display.
Anyway, I do not mind waiting for the update. But do I have to do some changes to my bootloader or anything to be able to get the OTA? Or is the phone fine as it is, with SuperCID and S-OFF? (It's also carrier unlocked, btw.)

Thinking of my experience on S-OFF htc phones, an OTA file could be flashed through fastboot, or stock recovery, but I am not sure you can receive the file through the air, I mean through the Internet because of that SuperCID.

Maybe I'm gonna go ahead and flash an OTA file. I'm hoping that the OTA files for HOX that are uploaded by some kind developers work well with my HOX+ too.
Thanks.

Like I said before, you should not and cannot flash Sense 5 4.2.2 rom of International, because the two models are so much different in terms of hardware such as baseband modem and sound chip.

No no, what I meant was I'd try to flash the AT&T HTC One X (not Plus, the HTC Evita) OTA when it's available. There isn't much stuff around for the "Plus" phones (HTC Evitare UL), I checked. There's no discussion forum here in XDA-D either.
But now I realize, even that shouldn't be possible. I'm just stuck. :crying::crying:

If you flash an OTA update from the HOX it will probably fail. On the small chance it does install, you will have a very expensive brick.....

OK, to tell the truth, both phones are much different than that between One X+ International and One X+ AT&T.
To summarize;
1. One X (endeavor_u) : Tegra 3, 1GB RAM, 32GB storage
2. One X AT&T (evita_ul) : Snapdragon S4, 1GB RAM, 16GB storage
3. One X+ International (ENRC2B_U) : Tegra 3 AP37, 1GB RAM, 64GB storage
4. One X+ AT&T (EVITARE_UL) : Tegra 3 AP37, 1GB RAM, 32/64GB storage, however, MDM9615 modem chip, and other sound chip is inside, which is different from One X+ International.
Therefore, roms from both One X AT&T, and One X+ International variant are not suitable for your phone. I'm sorry.

It seems that you dont have an international version of the phone (enrc2b) , what you have got is the North American version of the phone (EVITARE) . So I am not sure if you will get the update in India or not . More over never flash HOX (Roms, kernels , etc etc ) anything on your phone since that will end up bricking your device , even you should not flash the any thing from the international version of the phone. Buddy the HOX+ (int) and HOX+(At&T) are two completely different device internally .
Try to install custom ROMS supported for At&T, more over Since you have S-OFF rooting and Flashing are easy for you , you dont even need to get the phone unlocked to obtain root or flash ROMs ..

If you are on the ENRC2B version having a S-OFF will not stop you from getting a OTA update , since I got one. More over Having S-OFF will not require to have the device Unlocked or pushing a custom recovery through fastboot .

Guys if you have S-OFF you dont need to unlock the bootloader to flash CUSTOM RECOVERY , ROOTING , OR FLASHING ROMS,
S-OFF means Security OFF so do what ever you feel like with this phone , just dont get it bricked by flashing something that was meant for some other device.

Well I have and I have the enrc2b version, how ever flashing a custom rom wont be a problem on the At&t also as long as the rom is correct.
One more observation , now a days the roms are not comming with the boot.img flashing script in it , so you have to flash it it manually using FASTBOOT else you can end up getting into a bootloop.

No you cannot install the enrc2b version of the rom or recovery (they might brick your device, an expensive brick that is), use ROMS and Recovery for the At&t or the Telus version of the mobile
