Hello,
I have nexus 10, rooted with custom recovery, it says clockworkmod recovery v6.0.1.6. Anyhow, when Google send the update for 4.4 it doesn't get installed when i click on it, the device restarts and goes into recovery and the installation is aborted.
I tried finding the solution some said i could directly flash the update through custom recovery. Can I though. I am really not good at all this, i rooted it a long ago.
Thanks.
OTA won't work on a custom recovery. You will have to be 100% stock to take the update or you can get the stock rooted version here at XDA in the development forums.

hello guys,
I had 4.4.1 rom+kernel stock, rooted and custom recovery, after the OTA to 4.4.2 lost my root and recovery.
tried re-root with wug's but it gets stuck on "pushing root file to you device".
got superSU application but cant remove it because its system application.
Is there a way to root it?
thanks.
Same here except i had cwm touch latest. It seems i have lost my recovery too. If i try and boot into the recovery menu i get the open hood android with a red triangle.
No custom kernel only custom recovery.

I lost my custom recovery too. But I just reflashed it (adb reboot bootloader, then flashed a downloaded custom recovery via fastboot), and then reflashed SuperSU as well.

I'm having the same problem. Root undone, and recovery went back to stock. Custom recovery doesn't stick after reboot.

I was in the same situation after my OTA of 4.4.2
I had nexus root toolkit, tried to put in twrp with it failed.
Then updated to the latest nrt and then I could flash the latest twrp, havent tried cwm.
and eventually got the root back using nrt

Found the solution to my problem. Used CF Auto Root instead of manually flashing SuperSU again. Cheers guys!

Same thing happened to me. just use fastboot to flash CWM, then before you reboot go into the recovery. then next time you reboot it will still be there. For some reason if I flash the recovery then reboot without entering recovery it will loose the recovery.
Once you have the recovery back, just flash the SuperSU binary through CWM.
Also, IMHO, dont use toolkits... you dont really know whats going on when you use those. Learn to use ADB & fastboot. They are really simple to use and you will be better able to help yourself when you have problems in the future.
Hello Folks!!!
I was on a Rooted Stock 5.0.2 CM12 ROM with TWRP recovery, when I got the notification for an OTA update (YNG1TAS1K0). I found out that we had to flash stock recovery to install the update, so I did that, but the OTA update wouldn't install and kept throwing error saying something like "unable to update /sideload/". After multiple attempts, I finally flashed the whole ROM (cm-12.0-YNG1TAS1K0-tomato-signed.zip) via the stock recovery, and now I am on the latest stock build (YNG1TAS1K0). Unfortunately, I am stuck on the stock recovery now. Whenever I try to flash the TWRP recovery (TWRP 2.8.6.0 for Lollipop), it goes into bootloop. I have temporarily flashed stock recovery again to make my phone usable again, but I would really like to flash TWRP again and root it. Any advice/suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks. :highfive:

remove battery after install recovery before restarting phone
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.
Hello all, I've been doing a lot of searching today to figure out if I can, and how to, install any custom recovery onto my Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 3 on Android 5.0. I want to do this so I can either install a custom rom, or use xposed. But now that I'm on 5.0 I'm not sure what's possible anymore. I can root just fine, but installing TWRP with Flashify, or CWM with ROM Manager just puts my phone in a soft lock when I power it up. Giving me an error because it recognizes that I've installed a custom recovery, so it just locks my phone. I've gotten out of this twice now but using Odin to install the Lollipop rom again. To reiterate, is there any way I can install custom recovery on this phone now? I've seen some conflicting things in my searches so I have no idea what the case is.
Thanks
If the phone has a locked bootloader, a custom recovery can't be installed.
Good morning, I wanted to know if I can upgrade to Android 7.1.2 beta with root and custom recovery installed. Do I have to remove them before upgrading or the upgrade will remove them automatically ? Will my device even boot if I update with root and custom recovery?
Thanks
Nope. Cant with custom recovery..

Your phone will boot loop if you don't go back to stock recovery first. I tried just to see what would happen and that's what happened. People who tried to flash it with Flashify reported no success.

Stock ROM? Important information you omitted. From a guy who always runs the latest stock ROM rooted and custom recovery here's how you do it: You do not have to remove them first, and although they (SU & kernel) will be overwritten with the new boot.img, it is very easy and straightforward. You need the TWRP flashable (beta) OTA zip file, in the OP here. Put the latest SU and your custom kernel on the device root, or wherever. (should already be there) and then reboot to TWRP recovery. Select "Install" and then select the OTA you downloaded above, and tap "Add more zips". Next you want to add the latest SU zip (2.79 SR3) and last add your kernel. Mine is EX. Once you have queued all 3 zips, in less than a minute you will be back up and running 7.1.2 , rooted and with kernel. Even if you flash each file individually you will still be ok. (OTA, SU, Kernel). See the same thread further down... Credit for the TWRP flashable OTA goes to @Displax.
