One big concern for those that have rooted with the HTC unlock method:
How do we update the radio in the future? If you look at gu1dry's radio thread he says you must be s off to update (via bootloader) and we don't get s off with this method. Can someone ease my mind?
I guess I have the same question for updating wimax as well.
Wrong thread to ask in? Try in q and a. But regardless yes you need to be s off in order to flash a new radio.

So there is no other way? You are seriously stuck with the current radio unless you unroot/lock and take an official OTA?

there is no other way right now You can only get the radio update with an official OTA or RUU.. You also cant flash splash screens

So when the next OTA/radio update is out you be able to take it and remain unlocked but most likely unrooted with a good chance of root being broken?

It will most likely unroot it, but you'll still be able to root it exactly the same way you did when you first unlocked it. By either flashing a rom that is already rooted or flashing the superuser.zip

No code needed for SIM unlock. Settings> Security> SIM Lock Disable. At least that's how it is on my phone.

Interesting question. My Incredible 2 required an unlock code but my 4G didn't ask for one.
well the lates update made it global right, so that means you shouldn't need to have a special unlock code.. bottom option here should be all you need

ok cool thanks, i know i am asking too many questions but i prefer to ask twice instead of brick once
so all i do is
1) Rename to PJ53IMG.zip (make sure you don't get PJ53IMG.zip.zip in windows..).
2) Place the zip file on the root (not in any folders) of your SD card. (not internal storage).
3) Boot to Hboot by holding Volume-Down and Power.
4) Install.

Yes, there are 3 ways
1. Softwate/OTA update from HTC (Officially)
2. S-OFF your Desire X and use a modified P66IMG.zip to manually flash hboot update.
3. Use an RUU for Hboot update (if available)
Regards
Yasir
As far as i know option two (S-OFF) isn't possible for Desire X as of yet, and option three (a JB RUU) hasen't been released.
So we're just left with option one. Do i miss something?

You can only update hboot via OTA update, and for that, you need stock Rom, like it was before rooting, and stock recovery. Then you'll get the hboot update to 1.24 and then 1.25 hopefully.

s-off involves high risk of bricking the device thats why devs stay from it and its very hard to attain s-off as it requires lot of hardware knowledge.. leavin aside some fancy mods, we can still do alot of development without s-off
S-OFF
ohok didnt realise it was that hard to do also when a device is bricked due to this does that mean using a JTAG recovery thing, (I saw one of the guys in the elegancia rom post meantion this) would not recover a bricked phone ?

jtag should allways be able to recover any bricked device (thats kinda point of using it)
oohk just got the idea that it didnt always work although the JTAG thing I was looking at did several things like S-OFF supercid etc

You're not stupid, just not reading much.
Yes, you need a stock ROM with everything intact (not even a single file is missing).

@ckpv5.
I recently tried an experiment. My bro Huawei phone got ota but as he had modified system apps, the ota failed. His ota also had firmware and hboot update (89mb)
I opened the ota zip, in updater script removed all assert checks, and then flashed ota, and it completed, even his firmware and hboot got updated. Have we ever tried fooling HTC stock recovery ?

Hey everybody, so i wile back I had a unlocked rooted Droid dna. I kinda messed it up and decided i wanted to get out of the android power user life. So i did this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2017525. Ever since then my phone has been fine. But, as some of you may known, they have put out a OTA update that I would really care to have. But, when I check for updates nothing happens. Ive tried rebooting my phone, doing the google services framework thing, even installing the RUU again! But nothing works. I really want to get out of this rooting life, and I want to update. Any droid dna owners (or other smart people) know whats wrong. THANKS!

Assuming its the v1 RUU you need to update via data connection to 2.04 then to 2.06 then to 2.07 etc.... as HTC pulled the updates from 1+ from wif/data now its only data.

Alright in that case just follow the RUU instructions.
Have you checked for the OTA while on Verizon's network? Not WiFi, but Verizon 3G/4G data? If you are on another network (att, tmo, etc) or WiFi, usually you will not see an update.

I want to return to stock OS, friend gave me his backup of Android 4.2.2 Sense 5 and told me to restore it like any other, after that flash boot.img who is in firmware.zip file, after that flash original recovery, and relock and I'm done. I put that backup on my sdcard like he told me but recovery can't see it. Can someone help me here, tnx.
This is what I have in folder, and what I put on sdcard
Cmon no one will help...
P.S
I delete all files now don't have anything, so someone will need to provide me backup of stock rom or something.

Depending on what your response is will determine which Specific Thread you need to go to.
However, for a complete stock ROM, try this link

This has both the AT&T and International variants. Just remember to read each threads OP "Original Post" it will give you directions for flashing ROM to your phone.

See now the time is gone.
You won't gain it .
Since if u relock the bootloader it will say " Relocked".
And if u have done S-off then there is no chance of get it done S-On.
So forget it now.

In my country they will accept if it's relocked it just need to be on stock rom, and warranty is valid again. I didn't do s-off I never do that.
