So I rooted my A2 and now I'm not able to install OTA on my phone.
Is there a way to go back to stock, so that I'm able to install OTA on my phone? If yes, is there a guide for this?
https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/blob/master/docs/tips.md
Thanks, but in Magisk I get the message "Stock backup does not exist"
Which patch are you on currently, september?
August 5th.
I'd say the best option is to flash the latest rom manually

Yes you will get, but no they wont install UNTIL you remove root
And, you need the stock recovery as well + unroot.
I need to install stock firmware and It's deleted all my data?
Do i also need to have locked bootloader?Thanks.
Er, if you have a custom ROM, you might get the notification, but the install will almost surely fail; I wouldn't even try...even if it somehow installs, it'll probably just wreck your ROM.
But, er, OTA updates (if you are on stock already) don't wipe any data. But, if you are on a custom ROM and you want to get the OTA update, you'll need to flash back to stock and you should factory reset when switching ROMs (custom -> stock).
Locked or unlocked bootloader: it doesn't matter. I have an unlocked bootloader and I received the 5.0.2 update no problem.
I am using a rooted moto g 2014. I have an ota update notification. how to install the the ota update? I'm using twrp 2.8.6.0 custom recovery.
You need to go back to stock recovery to install the updates. However the update might fail on a rooted phone and you might need to unroot it. Also you need to remove rooted apps like xposed to have a successful OTA. For a smooth OTA, I would suggest you move back to stock ROM and recovery and then OTA update.

Share the process plz... (in details)
Here is the post to flash the stock recovery and firmware
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/general/official-stock-firmware-5-0-2-lxb22-46-t3019612
Make sure you back up your data before you perform the procedure. Also for being safe side, back up all the contents of your internal memory.
Good luck
I am on 4.1.6 and wanted to un-root my phone so I can get the OTA updates. My recovery is TWRP 3.1.1-x blu_spark v37. Can someone please link me to a thread that can help me out.
There is already a guide to unroot and revert oneplus 3t to stock by the_rooter. Go through.

You could use Osm0sis unSU from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2239421&p=40409356

If you like being rooted (and want to stay that way) you don't need to jump through the hoops of returning to stock, or hiding root.
You can simply download the "full" update zip (not the OTA patch, you're looking for the zip that is >1 GB). Then flash in TWRP. Immediately root by your method of choice (SuperSU or Magisk) before rebooting. Which will not only give you root, but doing this before rebooting (after flashing the update) will prevent TWRP from being overwritten with stock recovery.
Super easy. You can do this any time there is an update. And probably get it here on XDA before you would ever get the update notification. The only added hitch is that you will need to update to a Oreo-compatible version TWRP (if the intent is to update to Oreo). Either TWRP 3.1.1-x blu_spark v8.54 (or later) or "official" TWRP 3.2. You are currently on blu_spark, which anyway is more device specific, and recommended.
You can download the full update OOS 5.0, and more details on how to flash, from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/how-to/rom-oxygenos-3-5-4-mm-ota-update-t3519074
Even if rooted, you should still get the update notifications. It will automatically download the full update (instead of the patch) since you are rooted/TWRP. The only difference, is if you do it that way, it will reboot right after installing the update. You won't have a chance to root, and therefore TWRP will be overwritten with stock recovery. Not a big deal, as you can just fastboot flash TWRP again. But downloading the update and flashing "manually" as posted up above, just saves some steps (in cases other than going to Oreo - since you need to update TWRP in this case).

Only need to return to "full stock" in order to lock the bootloader. And the only reason to lock the bootloader, is if the user is selling the device, or just doesn't want an unlocked bootloader (or TWRP, root, etc.) anymore.
As I outlined above,: root, custom recovery, and unlocked bootloader are all okay (updates will still install) with some minor caveats.

Hello,
i have rooted my A2 through MAGISK and i was on october update and now there's a new OTA update available!
is it possible to download and install and root again or will i stuck in a bootloop if i installed this OTA
Thanks
You get the information about the new OTA available, but it will fail to install because of root, you can try to update....but i'm certain that it will fail.
You need to flash stock October boot.img, and maybe even system.img to be able to install new OTA update, and then root again.

Hello. I have my device rooted and twrp recovery but with stock firmware. I have updates but i dont want to bootloop.
Can you tell me latest compilation number so i search it in firmware databases please? My device is a xt1772 Nicklaus.
I am in same situation, My Owens has Nov 1,2018 security patch firmware, I flashed tTWR recovery and rooted.
Now new firmware NPRS26.58-45-19 comes out with Jan 1, 2019 security patch. How to get it flashed?

If you take the OTA then it will bootloop because you have a custom recovery. You have to go back to stock recovery and then take the update. After you update you will have your bootloader locked again and you will have to unlock it earesing all data in the phone. Then again flash twrp and root.
Thats why i wanted the last official firmware so i do it only once since updates are cumulative updates...
If i have no response about it, i will return to stock recovery, take all ota updates. Then unlock bootloader, flash twrp and try to restore at least the data since you cant recover system otherwise you will return to a not updated firmware.
Thats the only thing i think its possible.
Btw i edit the thread because mine is a nicklaus e4 plus version.
Cheers!

Thanks for reply. I think I can find stock recovery in stock firmware package.
However do I need to unroot my phone (which I don't know how to)? or simply leave it rooted as is, do OTA after stock recovery flashed?
Stock recovery then take ota maybe More than one since are cumulative. Then Flash twrp and root again.
