hey guys my phone is currently at 5.0 with rooted and twrp(just for phone backup/restore basically) and would like to update to 5.1. I tried installing the ota zip file from twrp but fail to do so. How should I proceed for this? I already converted the recovery back to stock but still no success on updating the file from sideload either. Any help would be appreciated!

U should be completely stock before updating to 5.1.. U can achieve it by downloading the correct system files of lollipop since its available.. And flash it using fastboot..... :thumbup:

if i go complete stock i would have to lose all the settings and update then go back to root again? Other files I have done back up but the settings are just a hassle somehow(minor tweaks here and there in settings)

keep in mind before anyone updates to the official jb. i suspect the official release will be patched to not allow us to return to ics. if you keep root after the update good but if you some how break root there might no be a way to get it back as of now! so be cautious before you accept update. we should at least wait for an official jb fxz if you plan on keepng root this way if you mess something up at least you will have a working phone back without root of course. again i dont know they will patch the official release to prevent downgrade but lets find out for sure to be on the safe side. i dont think were gonna get dan to make us a jb root method right away soon.....
It could be considering its small size. Those who have updated to JB OTA should install safestrap and make a backup.

This exactly what that was, I am no longer able to downgrade to 4.0.4 using the Atrix Utility. No biggie for me though, I'm rooted with SS3, and I have backups!

That's not the official one... A leak update for a leak update is not the official OTA. The official package (if for some reason it is 98.4.20) will be the size of at least the 2 leak update.zips together. It is not a 10 MB change from ICS to JB. It's a 10 MB change from JB leak to JB leak.

Hello friends!
I've got AT&T Atrix HD with JB leak installed, with uncomplete root (root is present but any app cannot access root!), and yesterday I've received software update (98.4.20.en.US).
Tell me please - can I flash back to ICS, or somehow in another way gain root access??

I haven't tried going back to ics. But,I believe this ota block us going back. I think someone at Moto seeing what we've done here.

I can confirm that this OTA does block you from going back too ICS. Lucky for me, I have backups, and i kept root, so I can go back by restoring one of my backups. But I think this leak OTA is pretty good, so I'm not to upset.

I second PeteSeiler2010's confirmation. I installed this update and tried going back to ICS with both RSD Lite and the Atrix utility.Neither worked. Luckily though, I too had made a backup with SS3 and was able to revert back and get root again.

Unfortunately, I do not have any ICS backups for my phone, I must have named a JB backup as and ICS thats all I can think of...anyway, I too and hoping someone can upload an ICS backup somewhere so I too have the ability to go back to ICS if need be. Sorry for the false hope!
If any one has a backup off ICS, I would be happy to upload it my dropbox site so we all would have that to fall back on.

Just to clarify for Pete.
We don't want your information stored on your phone.
1) Restore back to ICS using the "restore function" in SS3/TWRP
2) Do a Factory Data Reset in settings.... privacy..... Factory Data Reset (this will wipe all personal info from the phone).
3) After you've done a Factory Data Reset, do a backup in SS3/TWRP.
4) Zip up the folder that has the backup you just performed, and upload it to a file server somewhere.
5) Post the link in this thread.
6) Be a Hero!

from Android Revolution HD blog
unlocking your bootloader wiped /data folder where some htc app like flashlight, calculator and more where in. It makes your device not capable to receive any OTA updates because every OTA update checks MD5 checksum of every file that originally came with your device. So even if you didn't flash any custom ROM and your /system partition is unmodified, you won't be able to install OTA update.

It doesn't mean all files on your phone are stock when checked by ota checksum. Go back to 100% stock and it will work.

im not familiar with mac system so you will need to wait for someone else to help with your fastboot issue
what mac system? I have windows lol I copied the preload folder from another stock rom and it downloaded the update again. Hope it works. 4 hours do download -_-'
SOlved. Installed guru reset with aroma installer matching my version without wiping anything and then OTA installed with success.
Got a problem here... Wanted to ota to 4.4 in my rooted, s-off on stock rom.
Flashed stock recovery and downloaded the Ota but it turns to red triangle as its installing.
My question is would this be happening due to having Xposed framework and having Flashed some zips for ad blocking and such? Any feedback is much appreciated!
Also, if that is the issue, would flashing an old backup work if that was prior to using Xposed and such?
Please help! Thanks!

Maybe. The ota might check what's in the system partitions such as apps and such and if there's anything that usually isn't there when the phone is stock it might not update. I asked on the Verizon forum if it's possible to update after deleting some system apps and they said no but I've never tried it.

I eventually was able to update. I restored a backup I did before root, right after unlocking bootloader.
also, I used an old stock recovery. I found the most recent stock recovery and used that and it worked. so still unsure what exactly caused my problems but using the latest stock recovery and using unmodified stock rooted rom worked.
thanks for the response though, much appreciated. definitely soft bricked my phone few times before getting it done. phew...
I am looking for a TWRP flashable zip of the latest OTA.
I dont really want to RSD back to accept the OTA. I am running Eclipse 3.2.1 now.

Keep in mind the OTA has a manifest file of "check sums" of files it looks for on your phone. If they are not there, or the ones there don't match the check sum, the OTA will fail. So if Eclipse 3.2.1 is a custom rom, the OTA will most certainly fail.
The way OTA (inside the zip) is written, it wont install from TWRP either. You'd have to open it up, and try to modify it, to make it installable via TWRP or CWM.
My LG G2 (Verizon/VS980) was rooted on stock OS 24A. TWRP was installed as recovery.
This phone took a software update and now it's stuck in TWRP recovery. Help please.
Root no longer matters as long as I can get an OS back running on it.

If you have twrp it'll be easy to get it back on. First if you made a twrp backup just restore it. If not then
Second of all do you have any Roms on your internal memory? If so just install one through twrp.
Third if u have none of those you can either side load a rom through twrp and flash it.
Or you can go back to stock using this thread which should work 100% but you'll lose any data you had on your phone including pictures and other media http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448960
