This is a link to the OTA Update for 12.15.15.
Download and install through stock recovery. Keep in mind if your missing any system apps or have them frozen this will not work.

For anyone interested I have made a system image of my rooted droid x after updating over the air to 621. It is clockwork recovery image zipped up. I know that you need root in order to install recovery but I see some have managed to overcome the limitation of returning to the 605 update so this may be of use to them.
For those interested I managed to get root by rooting a fresh install and running everything which required root access then running root keeper. After the ota update I ran the rootkeeper again regained root and rebooted.
I have removed a few pieces of bloat ware and installed a few other apps to the system.

Hi all,
Sorry for the noob question.
Can I receive and install official OTA updates after rooting and installing TWRP ?
Thanks.
NO!
Ota
Oh. Can I flash the ota zip from twrp?
Kindly guide me as I am clueless.
Thanks
You can receive OTA with TWRP, but not if you're rooted. My method of getting OTA is by keeping a stock rom zip on my sd card. When an OTA comes out, I flash the zip, breaking root, boot into OxygenOS, accept the OTA, it should install, then I reboot to TWRP and flash SuperSu.
You can flash the OTA from TWRP, but when I tried that, it said I was on the correct version in about phone, but it still kept telling me there was an update available.
Here's a link to stock roms, and OTA zips.

hi,
I have a rooted moto x play (indian version)
I downloaded the OTA update, which reboots to recovery and fails. I use twrp as recovery.
And then it keeps failing. I want to install OTA update but don't want to reset my mobile.
Screenshot. ( boot loader is unlocked)
Maybe do a search prior to posting about installing an ota when rooted and running a custom recovery. There's more than a few threads regarding this specific situation.
All you're really doing is cluttering the MXP threads with non needed threads.
I'm not even going to help you out because I hate spoon feeding people who can't even or are to lazy to do either a search on XDA or google.
I did try searching for. no help
can anyone help?
Rooting means you're modifying the system. The system will not be like before. You may be able to download the update but that won't get installed. The modification of system files won't allow you to patch them with the OTA update. So the only way is to flash the firmware manually
since Lollipop, Google doesn't let the OTA install on top of a modified system. (any modification at all). If you were rooted, and you unroot, the system is still considered "modified".
you want to install an official update from your manufacturer, the recommended process is to first return your device to completely stock including replacing TWRP with a copy of the stock recovery.
If you have nandroid backup before install SuperSU, first flash that and flash stock recovery and boot into stock and get ota and flash then you can re root and flash recovery again.
Hi, I have a european S8+ fully rooted and with TWRP.
Everything's working great so far but I read somewhere that I won't receive further OTA updates.
Can I install them manually with TWRP?
If yes, 3 questions:
1. Where can I get them?
2. Do I need every single update or are the newest update always containing the older updates as well?
3. Do I lose root or TWRP after installing an update?
I've rooted with Magisk by the way.
Typically if you're rooted and modified the system partition (BusyBox or twrp or whatever) the update will not install in stock recovery. Usually you have to unroot reinstall stock recovery and flash ota. There's toolkits out that can do that. Or you can just find an awesome rom like a rooted debloated rom thats just recently updated and just flash that. Or you can what till somebody snags the ota update location then posts that.
I am on update channel retgb (UK) and have just received the first OTA update for this device. As I have unlocked my bootloader, install TWRP, installed Vanche's Modified Boot Kernel + wlan_custom.zip + magisk do I need to do anything special before applying the OTA update. (I followed the guide by Awesomeslayerg up to installing SuperSU)
I have looked around XDA but I do not know which stock rom I need to flash and then how to apply the OTA update. As I have magisk I don't think my system partition has been modified but because of the wlan_custom file and custom boot kernel I think the boot partition has been meaning from what I understand I can't install the update.
Any pointers would be appreciated.
I did grab the OTA update drive.google .com/open?id=0B0o6IYW5dPwHcExfSXVvMWVCWU0 (remove space between google and .com if thats is any help
