How many different threads are we going to get from people asking this same question?
Don't accept an OTA update on a modified phone! If you want it then flash the original .kdz then OTA update then redo root and recovery.
I got an OTA update named OTA_M7_UL_L50_SENSE60_MR_TMOUS_7.18.531.35-7.18.531.2_release_450302.zip with size about 180MB.
Did anybody else get it?
I can't apply the update though because I have twrp and the phone is rooted. I was wondering if someone else got the update and applied it successfully on a rooted phone.

Should post this question here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2305490
and the answer is probably yes since I don't see why T-mobile USA would push an ota update only to you
7.18.531.35 is the t-mobile US equivalent of 7.17.1540.35 which is the latest version with the stagefright 1.0 vulnerability fixed.

You need to be on 100% stock rom including stock recovery to install ota updates. Better to return to stock using a ruu before applying the update imo since many users soft bricked their phones when attempting to install lollipop ota updates on stock rooted phones. If you need the RUU, look in the RUU collection thread, there is a 7.18.531.2 RUU posted there (link in my signature). Don't forget that questions should be posted in the q&a section, not in general. :good:
Thanks for your help. I found the RUU for my version. So, since I need to go back to RUU flash, I will need to re-setup my phone from scratch again just for getting this OTA....sucks!!
I wish they would make it easier to update modified phones. Just overwrite my root changes to /system and destroy my recovery but keep my /data and /sdcard. I can recover from that much faster than doing RUU and set up from scratch!!
So, on m7, isn't there way to flash stock on /system and stock recovery through fastboot and then take the OTA? I have done that on at least Samsung and Moto phones in the past and it worked fine.
So, if I restore system and boot partitions from my backup to stock, can I sideload the OTA ZIP using TWRP?
I should have made a recovery.img from the original stock recovery partition. Do you know if I can find the stock recovery here somewhere?

It is, you'll loose root every time you do an ota update.

The ota is flashed using the stock recovery, and the stock recovery is also updated in that process.

Yes, either using a RUU, or a combination of a stock rom/backup (/system partition) flashed using twrp and then flashing the stock recovery back.

No, the updater-script will only work with stock recovery

You can't backup the stock recovery directly from the phone (actually yes you can but it requires s-off and its somewhat complicated.

already uploaded here:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952604831
or you can extract it from the ota update.
It was possible to update a stock rom + rooted phone simply by flashing the stock recovery back in the past (on kitkat roms and eariler) but it looks like its not possible anymore on lollipop updates. So much ppl posted here with the same problem: "Phone is stuck at HTC splash screen after installing update on stock rooted phone". Example here and here
The biggest problem if the ota install fine but the phone is stuck at the booting screen (like in the link above) is that your firmware will be updated to 7.18.531.35 so you won't be able to use the 7.18.531.2 RUU anymore unless you achieve S-OFF or edit your MISC partition.

Thanks for the great help! I can't thank you enough.
One question: if I do fail to apply the OTA zip after restoring boot, system and recovery to stock, I will still be able to get TWRP back on the recovery through fastboot and restore my full TWRP backup to get a working system back, right? Is there a gotcha in that route?

yes, even if the ota installation fails, you''ll be able to access fastboot, flash back twrp and restore your twrp nandroid backup. :good:

Probably your device's recovery replaced by stock recovery.
Inorder to prevent this , you shouldve uncheck mount system read-only.
Anyhow, now you can still root your phone and install a custom recovery with a tool!
if you wish I'll link it here!
BTW, your device isn't booting now?
Pls its ok to me but i dont have a pc

Nope, that is not possible through TWRP. You have to flash a stock recovery first and then use three button method to update...
official way is dload way . use it to go stock !

Flash stock recovery in fastboot first.
If you have kirin 620 version, I guess you could use updateflasher.zip to flash UPDATE.APP with TWRP recovery. Check this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-4x/how-to/install-emui-4-1-4x-4c-g-play-g-play-t3515702

Extract the zip and flash the recovery either through TWRP or fastboot. Although I would rather do a factory reset and flash the whole firmware.
