I have rooted my G2(D802) in stock rom.
Will I still receive Official OTA update?
1. you will, but the device will refuse to install it because it's rooted
2. you will, the device will install it and your phone will only root to recovery (if you have custom recovery)
those are the only scenarios I know of.

Yes the update can sill show up and after ignoring it a couple of times it will force itself to install and either a)if you have custom recovery you will bootloop and if you were using twrp there is a way to remove update or you will need to go Back to stock, b)if you have modified system, installed xposed or removed bloat it will refuse to install because those are things that can only be done with root and so will give message won't update because it's suspected of rooting and there are ways to make it so that it won't update but I don't remember

For the S4, or basically any Samsung device, how can I install an OTA update if it's rooted with Xposed installed?
I have stock rom and stock recovery. Rooted using CF-Autoroot and installed Xposed so I can get OTA updates. After the OTA update is downloaded, installing it fails before the device is even rebooted.
By the way, before applying the update, I unrooted and uninstalled Xposed (but without rebooting first since I didn't want the OTA update to disappear).
Is there any way to solve this?

Excuse me, but there is no difference having xposed for updating.
Its just an app like any other

Actually I think there is. Since it modifies system files/structures, it must be uninstalled before applying OTA updates. At least that is the case with Nexus OTAs since they perform system checks for any changes before proceeding with the update.
I have a rooted N10, but not running any custom ROM. Have Lollipop 5.0 installed and just got the notice for the 5.1 upgrade. I'm somewhat of a noob to Android, but learning alot. Wondering if doing the OTA would be better than manually installing the upgrade. I'm gonna backup using TWRP no matter what. I want the simplest, most effective way to get the update. Thanks.
You'll likely loose root by applying the OTA, but that maybe the easiest way to upgrade assuming you've not altered or removed any apps from /system/app directory as the OTA does a check before installing. You may also need to re-apply recovery but I doubt it. Assuming you are using TWRP you can use that to gain root again. 5.1.1 has worked flawlessly for me for the last week or so.

Thanks, I wasnt sure if the OTA would install since it was rooted, but if I lose root, I can always root again. I've not removed any apps from system/app. I'll make sure I backup and if i need to recover, I can figure that out.
The OTA threw an error on my rooted N10 and wouldn't install. Stock recovery. I ended-up installing the 5.1.1 factory image in "no-wipe" mode, and everything was successful.
Hi all,
I am using XT1643 indian version. I have successfully rooted it using TWRP recovery. However, I haven't changed the rom. Today, it is showing OTA update of security fixes. Should I update it or is there any particular method for updating or should I ignore the update.
Thanks.

flash stock recovery and then update
FlashFire
or Just use Flashfire A handy Application for updating rooted phone. but remember one thing always keep backup and stock rom file to your pc if something goes wrong you can easily re flash your stock rom.
Both options doesn't work.
With FlashFire, it is impossible to find the update file, and with stock recovery, its gives an error when updating
If FlashFire doesn't work, you should first unroot your device, uninstall xposed if you already installed it, also remember to use stock kernal after that.. flash stock recovery than update via ota. Let us update what happen
Edit :- I tried my self
1. unistalled xposed
2. un rooted
3. wiped all data, dalvik cache, and other stuf..exclude system
4. rebooted
5. flashed stock recovery
6. reboot again
7. download ota
8. device reboot again in stock recovery
9. And failed to update
10. So we cant update our phone unless new updated stock images available...
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.

First question... When first installing TWRP, did you do a full backup? You should have backed up, then had to repeat specific steps to install TWRP to make it permanent.

Umm I wouldn't worry about updates they are not coming anymore. I'm not a 100% sure but I believe you can flash the stock recovery. img. and uninstall root. Worse case reflash nougat.
