Read a few threads, I'm still confused. I'm using the XT1092 (India).
RIght now I have 5.0 (LXE22.46-19) , rooted and using TWRP recovery.
From what I understand, I need to flash the stock recovery, un-root and get the OTA.
After flashing stock recovery, how do I un-root? Can I just open the SuperSU app and click un-root and uninstall BusyBox? Will the OTA work this way?
If not, how should I proceed?
Nope, it will fail. Firstly do the full unroot on SuperSU. Then boot into fastboot mode and flash stock system images and stock recovery.
Now you can boot into your device and update twice. Firstly a small update followed by the 5.1 update.
Thanks a lot for clearing it. Will I lose any data in the flashing process?

If you only flash the system partition, no data will be lost. If you format the data partition... Yes data will be lost. Just fastboot flash system, don't do a full flash.

I have Verizon Nexus 6 which came with LMY47E system but as it is well known LMY47I is now officially available. but with older radio. I'm already unlocked and rooted and have latest version of TWRP recovery installed instead of stock recovery. So my question is can I extract system.img and flash using TWRP install option and get newer system but keeping original radio and user data without data wipe? Should I wipe any cashe before flashing to avoid possible problems?
Anything else I should flash to make sure I will be able to use phone without problems while keeping root and unlocked bootloader or i will have to do unlocking and rooting again? Any help is appreciated
Fastboot flash system and boot and you'll be good.

Thanks for quick reply. So I can't use TWRP recovery? Flashing boot will not wipe root and bootloader?
It's a lot easier to just flash system and boot in fastboot. Flashing system will erase root but after you flash system and boot go directly into recovery and flash Su.

That's exactly how I understand and that's why I"m asking if it's possible to do the upgrade using TWRP recovery by flashing just one IMG file at a time in specific sequence and than restarting the phone while still keeping current radio and data plus SuperSU at the end
You can't flash the IMG files in twrp. You'll need to use fastboot. Just flashed whichever files you need. I usually flash everything but recovery and then just reroot. Takes about 10 minutes.
Hello,
I had TWRP installed and SuperSU on my phone and, then, I received the OTA.
In order to update, I've flashed the stock recovery and used supersu full unroot (BUT... I still have Xposed installed).
I can't OTA upgrade.
Do I have to uninstall Xposed? If so, how do I do it?
Or, what else do I have to do for the OTA to work?
Thank you.
Flash the stock system.img and it would hurt to flash the stock boot.img as well. As long as you haven't messed with the modem or anything that should be all you need to do.

The stock system.img is from kitkat, that could mess up a lot of things, like Xposed, which could make it not boot anymore.
Or am I wrong?
You can get the full 5.0 images here http://www.graffixnyc.com/motox.php. Flash the stock 5.0 system, recovery, and boot images. That's the only way to get rid of Xposed and you shouldn't have any trouble with bootloops or anything. Then take the OTA.

Are you rooted? Have you installed stuff like xposed?

Yes, rooted with xposed, also teamwin custom recovery i never backed up my recovery.bin so i can't go back too
That is why it fails. You have to uninstall xposed, unroot, and make sure that nothing is modified in the phone. It has to be 100% stock firmware, no modifications.
You will most likely need to flash system and recovery.
My recommendation, backup everything. Then flash the full 5.1 image:
http://www.filefactory.com/file/3uulcrk3rheh/VICTARA_TEFLA_XT1097_5.1_LPE23.32-14_cid12_CFC.xml.zip
Flash everything in this file, and erase cache and userdata. When done your phone will be on 5.1.

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.

I'm having the same problem with TWRP and the TMO LYZ28J update. How do I get back to stock recovery? Is it just a matter of uninstalling TWRP and reinstalling it when I'm done?

Install the stock recovery in fastboot, you can download it from the factory images or just search for it

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

I'm stock rooted, are you saying that won't work? What's the proper way to install this update without losing data?
I'm used to flashing updates from recovery, so this whole sideload thing is new to me.

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?

It will lose root, but you just flash supersu from recovery
I had to flash the stock recovery back on and then did the OTA update. :-/ I really like my full system backups that TWRP does though..

I have a VZW XT1096 that is rooted, unlocked and has TWRP. The update downloaded to my phone but the last time I tried to install an update it put my phone into a boot loop. Do I need to flash the stock recovery or is there more to it? Thanks!

There is more to it. You have to be 100% unmodified to take an OTA. So no root, xposed, busybox, modifications... your best bet if you modified a lot would be to flash your stock system and recovery images then take the OTA.
