Sorry for my English. Please help
If you want OTAs you have to fully unroot, relock bootloader, and then try for an OTA update..

Flash the stock recovery. Do a factoryreset there. Then you can get OTA's again. But with sim. Or try restoring via eRecovery.
Which firmware version do you have?

From what I understand you're saying you do not want to install a custom rom, just rooted stock rom?
Yes you can still recieve ota update but I think you must relock the bootloader before you install ota update
You could do that yet it would be an unbearable and unnecessary effort.
Just go with Android Revolution HD.
It is in sync with the OTA updates, nothing would look or feel different than stock. But has a better performance and battery life overall.

All right, I want root my stock rom and (Titanium Backup) and to continue to have the official update.
INFO:
Unlocking through htcdev.com will wipe your phone to factory defaults. Nothing will be wiped of you sd-card, only of your phone.
Ok, but after i have ulnocked the phone with htcdev, where find a guide for root?

After you unlock, you can use the same procedure that you do for Revolutionary, namely you install ClockworkMod Recovery and then from CWM recovery you can install the lastest version of su-3.0.xxxx.zip to root the ROM. Then you can use Titanium Backup, BusyBox, etc.

you're rooted trying to do an OTA?
once you root, accepting an OTA can mess up your phone or make you lose root.

don't flash back to it in twrp. use rsdlite or manually flash it with fastboot commands. if you actually flashed the full ota and didn't have root or twrp anymore then you would be able to take the OTA no problem.

Oddly I've done that even before I put twrp on my phone I used mfastboot with the stock IMG I got from moto. I did the update right when I got the phone and it did what I described so I thought I for find a something where I could flash stock to my phone by using twrp.
Download Motorola device manager. It should automatically restore the software to stock 4.4.
http://d1tsx1og7dz7v4.cloudfront.net/MotorolaDeviceManager_2.4.5.exe
thx for the help i had to mfastboot 4.4
This is your easiest option. All you need to do is run this utility. It will install drivers, download firmware, and flash back to stock. I used it earlier, and it's brilliant.
Even if you've already solved your problem, I highly recommend saving this for later use.

How big is that OTA update?
Try, if you can flash it it could work and you could actually preserve root, maybe even recovery but in 99% of cases you'll get error.
OTA update can't be flashed on rooted device (but, as I said, there were few times it actually worked if it's small, few mb update)
But this is update from 4.4.2 to 4.4.4 so I doubt it'll work.

OTA updates with root are fine, but you may well lose root, just as you would flashing a FTF or updating via Pccompanion.
The issue with OTA updates is if you have an unlocked bootloader.

That's not correct mate.
Try to downgrade, root and install recovery then try to update via OTA - you'll fail.
Only one or two OTA updates worked on rooted Z1.
I have rooted Z1 with locked bootloader and OTA will always said - error while trying to flash, update your device through pc companion.
I'm 100% certain...

OK, the few times I tried it I had no problem, but I have only ever done it a couple of times..
It's 154.5 Mb, my bootloader is still locked only my device is rooted so I will go ahead give it a try and see what happens if it fails or I lose the root I can again downgrade and root right?
Yes, but you can also just root the FW anyway

If you want to update, then download FTF. You will loose root. Or use NUTS pre rooted rom. If you want to root yourself, look over to cross development and use easy root tool v8. Then also download nuts xzdual for locked boot.
topic. thanks!
No. Not by accepting an OTA update. You'll have to update and re root.
what about getting rid of the update notification? is it possible to get rid of it?

Yes you can. Install ota rootkeeper from playstore.

I don't even get the update when I check since it has been modified in an "unauthorized way"
You can update via odin. Not through an OTA. Root has still not been written for 5.1.1, so if you want to keep root, don't update.

Dont Update!!!!!!! Not only do you lose root BUT you also lose your unlocked bootloader and you cant flash custom recoveries anymore until someone comes up with a method and you can't downgrade.

The bootloader is still unlocked. It's custom recoveries like TWRP that need to be updated to work in conjunction with the new bootloader. That's all.
i'm trying to rollback to marshmallow using the official package, i found this in the precautions before installation
"2. Make sure your phone system version has not been unlocked or rooted."
1. why is that. is it because their policy against root or is it actually going to cause problems during the rollback process?
2. if yes i should unroot: do i simply click unroot from kingroot app or are there more comprehensive way to unroot?
thanks

Just install stock recovery then flash the roll back package.
After that, flash stock MM rom for your device.

i flashed rooted c432b836 with rolback package first small one then i got c900b300, after that i flashed c432b136, and successfully got back to marshmalow. so, realy dont know why i need unroot or flash stock recovery, if its working anyway

For me, the only way to relock bootloader is flashing stock firmware.
Last time, I tried relock bootloader by SRK Tool and it costed me 2 days to get my device back to normal, since it encountered serious error.

I always flash stock recovery before flashing stock rom, and I didn't try flashing stock rom over twrp. Next time I'll try ?
