I have the Verizon G2 and I was so excited to root and get custom recovery that I forgot to see if I was on the latest update... and I'm not. So of course I can't take the OTA with a custom recovery. So is there a way to get to the latest firmware with TWRP? Or a way to install stock recovery? Either of those would work I suppose.

The Sprint version got an OTA update not too long ago and those who had TWRP installed have had some trouble afterwards. I'm stock rooted and would like to update it to get the new radio, but I don't know if the update patched the bootloader bypass to flash TWRP.
If I update my phone normally, will I still be able to flash TWRP afterwards?
Or should I install TWRP now and install the flashable ota radio?

Don't take my word but I think you can still flash after wards but you in Sprint development here's a stock rooted ROM with the ota update deodexed or odex.....also just the zv8 radio won't stop the ota.....zv8 radio has audio garbling fix...ota had a Google security patch....

I just flashed TWRP. If I backup everything in TWRP can I flash the updated stock ROM and restore the backup and have all my apps and call/text logs back?

Would I be able to take an OTA when it comes up if I root and install a custom recovery on my phone or do I have to revert to stock?
Much thanks!
Hi everyone ! I'm here because I want to do an OTA update. But i'm root and I have a custom TWRP and the ota file. If I flash it from twrp it will be working ? (Doesn't matter if I need to reroot and reflash twrp) Thanks !
you need to extract stock recovery from you current fw, and i am not sure if even then ota will work, I think you need full rom and flash it from huawei recovery
Install Custom B602 rom by persona, you won't regrete
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.

If you installed twrp, then you can not flash incremental OTA rom.. You must always download full rom to update. Even if your phone not rooted.
Also, You could get bootloop / Brick your phone and get Relocked Bootloader and lose TWRP.
Like Rukijo said, just download the full rom (.Zip format) and flash it via recovery. You will keep the Unlocked bootloader and the TWRP.
