[Q] (Q)How to install the official 4.2.2 update with root

Ive downloaded the 4.2.2 official update on my HTC one,When I click install now it goes into TWRP and doesnt allow me to update.
Do I need to flash the custom recovery to update?
and if so will I need to flash TWRP later after upgrading or is there another way?
Can I locate the update file on TWRP and install it ?

You SHOULD have STOCK recovery in order to flash/install the OTA

Search for the stock recovery, download it, flash it with the phone in fsstboot mode.
fastboot flash recovery recoveryfilename
This should be documented in the returning to stock sticky thread. Or one of the other many similar questions here.

after you are done with the OTA, .... Unlock the bootloader again, and then whichever recovery you like you can go for it..

I just tried doing this, but I am getting an error when I try to flash the stock recovery. It just says "(status 6) Installation aborted." I'm using CWM Recovery, should I maybe try using TWRP instead or should that not matter?

Maybe check if others have flashed it correctly, as I didn't test it and maybe you can't flash a stock recovery in a custom one

Confirmation
Hi,
I've just installed this recovery to my HTC ONE 32GB VODAP001.
My method was to extract the recovery.img from the zip file and flash via fastboot (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img)
worked fine - no issues, boots to the phone picture with a green arrow.
Hope that helps.

EDIT: My previous recovery was TWRP 2.6.0.1

For anyone still trying to update to 4.2.2 on a rooted phone here are the steps I took to do it.
1.Flash stock recovery (link earlier in thread)
2.Update
3.Reflash your custom recovery (I used TWRP)
4.Reinstall superuser
That should be it

Flashed stock recovery
Thanks! Now hopefully I can get the latest HTC Google Edition OTA update. Clockworkmod rejected the latest one: JWR66Y

Noob question: What does the stock recovery actually do?
I havn't unlocked bootloader yet, and accidentially started stock recovery from the bootloader screen and started to panic when an image with a red triangle was shown for what seemed like ages. Fortunately the phone booted up normally, but I wonder what I actually did?
BTW how does OTA update work, how to get it?

All I know is I flashed the Google Edition ROM on my HTC One in July (was T-Mobile Sense version). 2 days ago I got an OTA notification for an Android 4.3 update (JWR66Y). I couldn't install it because I had Clockworkmod as a custom recovery. My hope is that with this stock recovery I can receive this OTA update fine. I haven't gotten the notification yet, so I don't know if it'll work. If it does work, then I'll be ready for Google Edition Kit Kat in October.

This method works:
Go to Settings > Apps (or Applications) and select show All. Then find Google Services Framework and click the Clear Data button. Then click the Force Stop button. Then go to Settings > About phone > System updates
The stock recovery also worked! I was able to get an OTA update and install it on HTC One which I turned into a Google Edition (originally a T-Mobile with Sense). Now with JWR66Y.H1. Just let the phone do its thing. It takes a while and there are no real status messages. It'll reboot a few times. Don't worry it works. Just be patient.
I think the same method will work when Kit Kat comes out in October.
I am not rooted, I have S-off, and I didn't change model or carrier IDs. I still received the OTA update.

[Q] Taking 4.4.4 OTA

Hey guys, I just got the 4.4.3 to 4.4.4 update notification on my XT1058 (Movistar, Chile). The thing is, I have TWRP so I know I can't take it right now. The device is not rooted nor it has xposed installed. My question is, how do I safely go back to stock recovery? Thanks in advance

Extract the recovery.img from your carriers 4.4.3 sbf and flash just the recovery image via fastboot. Commands should look like this.
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

There's only 4.4.2 available on the sbf list to download. Is it ok or should I take another step?

No I haven't, as I can't download it via mobile network. I downloaded the 4.4.2 stock firmware, took the recovery file from the zip and did fastboot recovery recovery.img. After booting and realizing I couldn't turn on the wifi (slides immediately to off) I did a factory reset but it didn't solve it

OTA 4.4
Do you have to go back to stock recovery if you're using TWRP recovery? Or is there a way to apply the update while using TWRP? I downloaded the update, told it to install and it rebooted to TWRP. The only zip I found was the old update under cache. Is there a way to do this or where do I find the newly downloaded file to install?
When I couldn't find the file I just rebooted. After booting up the phone attempted to reboot and install about 3 or 4 times before saying unsuccessful and operating normally.

You have to use stock recovery.... Just flash TWRP back on afterwards.

Who downgraded? The OP doesn't appear to have downgraded - he only flashed the stock recovery from 4.4.2 (which is the same as the 4.4.3 stock recovery). I'm confused.

Yup, although safestrap recovery (for locked bootloaders) is based on TWRP, it isn't the same. So at least he will be able to root again afterwards. Being unlocked doesn't affect the ability to take an OTA though. I've seen some people confused about that and tell people that they need to re-lock before taking an OTA. This is NOT the case. Stock recovery is required though.
Don't want to confuse anybody though. Just ignore the above. All that really matters is you must have stock recovery and no significant modifications to /system (no Xposed, etc.).

I'm on 4.4.2 for Sprint, i got the update to install 4.4.4, after reading this thread and the guide to flash OTA i see I have to return to stock recovery. My question is in the guide it says '' if you have at any point of time flashed any 4.4.2 firmware along with the boot loader 30.B3 or 30.B4
DO NOT FLASH THE OTA, YOU WILL HAVE A HARD BRICKED MOTO''...... my bootloader says 30.B4 , so should i take the OTA?

Hmm I'm thinking that what you read might have been for another variant....I'm not familiar with the bootloader version.
Regardless, if you are concerned, you are completely safe to flash the ENTIRE stock 4.4.2 SBF, then you can SAFELY take the 4.4.4 OTA with no risk. And if you take the OTA immediately after flashing the entire SBF, you'll already have stock recovery and you can just flash TWRP and re-root AFTER you are on 4.4.4.
:good:
(The above instructions ONLY apply to the Sprint variant. Not any of the variants that received 4.4.3.)

System.img is too big for the standard Fastboot.exe included in the Android SDK/PlatformTools. You must use the Moto tweaked fastboot (aka mfastboot) -> http://mark.cdmaforums.com/X-STUFF/mfastboot-442.zip

[Q] Installing OTA lollipop after unlocking bootloader?

Hi, I have a Moto G 2nd Gen XT1064 running 4.4.4 KK (21.11.23). I rooted, unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP. I'm really confused about how I go about getting the 5.0.2 OTA update my phone says is available. I tried downloading it 3 times and after I clicked to install it the phone powers off and then puts me in a bootloop while still on KK. I wonder why that is? So then I install the backup I made in TWRP and it gets me out of the bootloop.
Anyway, is it still possible to use the phones built-in OTA update service somehow or do I need to flash an OTA update using recovery? I read through maybe a dozen threads here but I couldn't figure it out(and I always thought I was a tech savvy guy ) If anybody can help me in any way I'd be extremely grateful!

TWRP is the problem, not the unlocked bootloader. You need to use stock recovery to install an OTA, not a custom recovery
Download your firmware version, extract the recovery.img and install using fastboot

The same way you flashed TWRP.
Extract the .zip and put the recovery.img wherever you need it to do this:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Thank you so much ThisIsJason, I flashed the recovery.img for my firmware I downloaded off motofirmware.com then I let my phone download the OTA and when I clicked to install this time it worked. Thank you so much cuz I was really frustrated and I just couldn't for the life of me figure out what I needed to do so your suggestion is very much appreciated.
Tharmor, this is what I did:
I checked my phone to see what firmware I had, look in the settings menu, then in "about phone" and I think it'll list your firmware there. Then go to the website ThisIsJason mentioned, and download your phones firmware (mine was 21.85.23 for the XT1064 model). Then what I did was I unzipped the recovery.img file into my fastboot folder, then I put my phone in recovery mode and plugged in the usb cable and started the fastboot program. Then I copy and pasted
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
into the program, hit Enter and it flashed the recovery.img to my phone. Then I unplugged the usb and booted the phone back up normally, I went into settings menu, then "about phone" and then I think at the top of the next menu clicked an option about software updates. So I let the phone download the update and then clicked to install it and viola, it worked a charm.

Can someone explain this to me as to why https://android.googleapis.com/pack...amu-ota-LMY48I-from-LMY47Z-superblock-fix.zip gives me the following error shown in the attach picture?
Looks like it should match correctly but sideload is errorring out saying otherwise

Do it from stock recovery. It's kinda broken in twrp because twrp was build with a build.prop with old user keys so it won't let you flash it. All the Ota zip will see is those old user keys and kill it every time. Stock recovery will work.

If you have TWRP, chances are your rom would be modified in some way so the OTA Won't work anyway.

Correct, root is a modification. An OTA will not flash unless the rom and kernel are 100% as expected.. This is regardless of whether the OTA zip is flahsed in adb sideload or as an OTA natively.
If there is a J factory image available, fastboot flash the system.img and boot.img and you're updated.
If there is not, do the above but with the version the OTA expects. .. Then flash the OTA

Thanks for the info! Since Google says they will release these updates monthly, I'm hoping to find a simple, painless, and repeatable method to do these updates. Will flashing your suggestions lose root or data?
