There was another post a couple of days ago by someone asking if it was safe to OTA update a rooted phone. As I said to them, there are always risks if your device is modified as the update package isn't expecting it.
Best bet if you want the OTA is to KDZ flash back to your region's last official version, then do the OTA, then reapply root and recovery.

still boot loop.
Hey buddy! I have same problem with you! I noticed that when i'm on stock rooted rom i always ended into bootloop going into recovery using either rom manager or quickboot. When i'm on custom rom like marvel, zeus etc. i also ended into bootloop going into recovery but after 1 hr or more, i will turn on the phone and then it will boot into recovery. I have a hard time flashing different custom rom because of this. Its like there is a time out before entering cwm recovery. It also happened to me everytime i used smartflash tool. It takes an hour before my phone got boot. 2 weeks ago someone upload a flashable V20s spain stock rom that has capable of entering cwm recovery after flashing the stock rom and luckily i manage to save it to my computer. I flash it using smartflash tool, after flashing it will reboot and then it will stock into bootloop. I will remove the battery and wait for atleast 1 hr and then i will turn on my phone and it will automatically boot into recovery. I do data factory reset, clear cache 1st then install superuser zip and then after that i flash the custom rom. I suggest that look for a flashable stock rom that has capable of entering cwm automatically after flashing and once you got the cwm do all you want but install first the superuser zip before flashing custom rom.
EDIT:
Here's the link buddy but i don't know if its available to download.

hey guys !
i have rooting/custom rom experience with htc desire and sgs 3
so a buddy asked me if i could install a custom rom on his phone.
I told hem i would do it but he told me he did try to root and install a custom rom on the phone but i did not work that well.
i found out the phone is rooted and CWM version 3.0.0.5
i found out for the most if not all custom roms you need CWM version 5 or 6
so i thought lets update the CWM!
Well i did all sort of things but it wont let me update/flash it in the recovery..
So im stuck at this part ! any advice ?
also i found out if start up the download mode its stuck at downloading and wont go any further.
DL mode supposed to "stuck" at downloading as it waits for you to connect to odin.
why not flash recovery via rom manager from google play ?

I rooted, unlocked bootloader and flashed CWM. Then a day later the 4.3 update came around for the Google Play One. When it asked to reboot I said ok, watched it then saw it fail in CWM. I saved the zip to my download folder, now I want to know what I need to do to update the phone.
I tried flashing it within CWM but it fails. Thanx alot for the help guys, Im already on Hboot 1.54 since I just got the phone.

easiest way would be to flash the stock recovery back and get the OTA.
it's located in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43459658&postcount=1
flash it the same way you flashed cwm

Great! Thanx and how would i then push the zip? (would I juss fastboot flash it?)
Fastboot flash the recovery and the phone should either see the ota download or download it again

Well I flashed the recovery, phone hasnt seen the ota yet, did the services framework clearing but still nothing. Dont know how else to force it to get an update so juss gonna wait for now I guess, thanks again gunnyman.
I should have left it at stock recovery, didnt even think about it lol
*Edit* I remember my first droid device would look for update.zip somewhere when the stock recovery booted, I dont remember where....If thats at all possible someone let me kno, thanx
Got it! Thanx alot for the help gunnyman!
Im always a bit nervous/skeptical with my new devices lol
Help.. I know im kinda stupid but this is what happens...
Forgetten to clear cache etc , flashed stock from cm10
Got bootloop, could not enter recovery.
So I used the pda recovery and got into recovery , flashing the stock rom successfully.
However when in stock rom , i could not either access the stock recovery OR CWM that I have tried flashing countless times
So basically , right now my phone can access download mode and boot normally, but not able to boot into any of the recovery.
Any help? Cos I want to root my phone.
Thanks
Bump?
would appericate a reply thanks

Mini 2 has unlocked bootloader so you have kind of stock CWM, for root etc...
hmm.... i managed to root it without pc with the help of the guy above thanks.
and i flashed cwm... it boots into the s6500d screen (im using s6500 so i know that is the recovery) and after that it blacks out. tried alot of times yet still like this.any advice?
ps: flashed stock rom and tried to boot into STOCK recovery. failed
I have few times explained how to enter cwm if it's "jammed" I won't explain it again. Read other help topics and you will find out how to get into cwm by simple trick (there is at least 3 ways to do it)
Also you are so smart to flash D rom at NFC version.... Mate, don't mod your phone if you don't have clue what are you doing
Hello I had used Lenovo K3 Note Manager by Princ3v to root my device. It had also installed TWRP recovery then.
Now to get OTA update to Android M, I flashed back STOCK recovery using the same tool.
Then I downloaded 1.65GB OTA update in 5 hours.
Now I tapped on reboot to get the update done but I got the message Update Failed.
Please tell me how can I get back to everything stock so that I could update it.
I have Indian version of it as I am from India.
Thanks a lot.
you gotta install stock recovery and then try to update your phone
can you tell me what exactly the logs says, when the update fails?? this info might help. plz try once again and do let me know
you need to install stock indian firmware starting with s205 using flash tool. After that put the downloaded update in the root of your internal storage. You rename this to update.zip if it is not so named. Boot into recovery and update.

I faced the same issue so got it resolved by downloading original rom from the following link and following the instructions stated.
http://www.needrom.com/download/official-stock-s322/
I was able to install it thru CWM recovery but I guess TWRP shud also work
If you use cuoco92s modded/rooted MM ROM for the k3 note, you can flash it directly from TWRP, just be sure to wipe before and after installation.
