Hi all, just downloaded the most recent update for Lineage, can't seem to be able to use TWRP anymore.
I tried multiple versions of twrp, all resulted in phone not booting.
@LuK1337 any idea what could be the problem?

The same thing happened to me. I could not contact the developer.
I will install the stock ROM again. This phone has hardly any development, it's not worth the hassle.

Hello everyone
I have a unique issue with the G2 that I have not really seen before. I rooted my G2 and flashed CM 12 onto it with TWRP. This was about 6-8 months ago. Then, I saw the 12.1 update so I tried to flash it and it failed. I kept trying different nightly builds and none of them worked. Then one day, I could not boot into TWRP at all. The TWRP version has not changed since the day I put it on 2.6.0 and I have not changed anything else. Can anyone please help me to solve this issue because my CM build is starting to show issues and I really need to update it.
Can someone please help me with this???
I recently rooted my Nexus 6 and a few days ago I got the notification for the January security patches. When the phone downloads them and reboots, instead of showing the Android Mike update screen it boots into TWRP. I've poked around in the TWRP settings and checked the logs and I've had no luck. I did some research as well and haven't come across anyone else having this issue. This doesn't happen on my GS2 when I install a Cyanogenmod update. Why is this happening and how can I fix it? Thanks!
You cannot apply Google OTA updates with a custom recovery. Replace your recovery with the stock version and try again.
Not just custom recovery - any system change such as root will stop the OTA. Depending on how you rooted, you might be able to unoot using the built-in SuperSU function (I'm guessing Supersu?) but more likely than not it still won't work.
The simplest thing to do is forget about the OTA entirely. Download the full ROM from Google, unzip it, unzip the zip inside the zip, and there you'll find system.img, which you can flash in Fastboot, then reroot. Done.

Oh, then as other people said, if you want OTA then totally unroot it, then reflash system of the current version, and flash stock recovery. But it's much better when a new version arrives, just download it, flash system and boot, reroot it, clear cache and dalvik. This way you'll have your updated Android days or even weeks before the OTA.
Hi there,
we have this phone and manually rooted and flashed it. Now it runs on TWRP 2.7.8.0.
Since a few days Marshmallow OTA is shown but cannot be installed after download: Error "This package is for K50a40; this is a K3Note".
Nothing worked so far trying to update it. I tried using this method but also does not work out since I cannot get into original Recovery (pushing all 3 buttons as mentioned in this thread to choose language does not work).
Can anybody tell me how I may install this upgrade? I already downloaded the OTA file and stored it as update.zip on the phone. With TWRP updating will not work out. I only managed to get into normal recovery once but could not use it due to being in chinese only.
Any help on how to install this update is highly appreciated!
Many thanks in advance!
Bye

I also had the same problem but mine said, Error "This package is for K50a40; this is a K50-T5".......
Sorry guys - need to bring this up again. Any hints? OTA update is still offered but cannot be installed due to said error.
Do I have to downgrade or install an older stock ROM in order to get updated? If so any hint or link (also to appropriate threads) is highly welcome!
Here's an attempted TLR of what has happened
Tried installing LineageOS. Got Error 7. Tried a bunch of things to make it work like editing the updater-script and things like that but it didn't work.
Then I simply wanted my phone to work again. Installed Clean Stock ROM + Stock Recovery straight out of OnePlus webpage. Now I have permanent dm-verity error (tried going back to 4.0.2, disabling dm-verity via fastboot commands and restoring 4.0.3) and still appears.
So yeah, basically that.
I messed up like a month ago too, bricked the OP3T and managed to revive it with a chinese program.
Any ideas on why I can never manage to install LineageOS?
EDIT: After the last factory reset, the phone wouldn't find any wifi network. After an hour or so, it found my wifi and got a 92mb update that fixed the dm-verity error
What firmware are you running and what's your Android version? If you're running 7.1.1 on 4.1.0 you should be good to go just by flashing all the latest LOS files

Hey All,
I'm looking for some help nito update this device to the latest OTA update. I have installed TWRP 3.0.2.0 that came with the dirtycow method. The device found the latest updated released in the past few days but when going to install it, it brings up the TWRP (which is how it should install). Now I don't mind if I can't grab this latest version due to whatever reason, but how would I go about updating the device? Currently it's running the stock version 6.1 6/17/2016.
Sorry if this has been answered somewhere, but still kinda new with Android devices and the whole rooting process. I'd like to be able to keep TWRP if at all possible and keep this device updated. Also I saw there was a updated TWRP released, how would I go about updating the recovery?
Thanks a lot for the help anyone can give!

Already tried it and it doesn't work. She uses the phone to play Pokemon Go and sadly the modified version you've made gives the error that the device or software is not supported. I believe this is due to the method you are using to remove the ads and custom changes made to the ROM, which I don't personally care if the phone has them or not. I'm wanting to install OTA updates without any heavy modifications made, just the ability to keep TWRP but have an updated phone.

Will be redoing the patch again and making not pre-rooted version. But if your app is not working on the modified 7.4.2 there is nothing I can do.

I see V8 but do not see a 7.4.2 on there.
EDIT: Nevermind I found it, will try the modified 7.4.2 and get back to you.

I want to say thank you a lot, this worked wonderfully! Only issue is Google Plus doesn't work (not a huge deal for the wife) but everything else is working great!
One last question, what is the recommended TWRP to use with this phone, I currently have the 3.0.2.0 Vampire version installed.

I have seen it mentioned that Google + does not work on 8.3 in general not just this modified one.
That recovery is the one I use and has advantage over the other one (lopestom's versio) in that in recovery you can use external sdcard and also mtp connection.
