Upgrading TWRP and Root Problem

So basicly I just want to upgrade my TWRP version (from 2.6.3.2 to 2.6.3.3+) in order to flash new kitkat roms.
But I have 2 issues:
1) I have rooted my device and installed TWRP 2.6.3.2 on my LG stock rom, then I wanted to change rom, so I wiped all but internal storage and flashed Beanstalk 4.4.2 + GAPPS. Now it looks like there's a problem with my root access (root checker says that there is a problem and superSU won't install binary updates). Recovery works fine. Do I need to root my phone again or what? Can I just do these steps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448887 all over again?
Edit: Ok, After flashing http://download.chainfire.eu/376/SuperSU/, I just needed to deativate supersu and reactivate it. Now it works just fine!
2) I wanted to upgrade my TWRP using FreeGee, but it looks like the app couldn't load without root access (Issue 1). So can I upgrade it with just doing these steps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2449670 all over again?
Sorry for the long questions.
Thanks

Upgrade TWRP from 2.7.0.0 to 2.7.1.0

Installed the 2.7.0.0 version of TWRP using Autorec. Worked flawless on my D802.
Took me a little bit more time to figure out how to upgrade recovery to version 2.7.1.0.
So far I discovered 2 possible approaches and like to share it with you:
1. Following the instructions within the original TWRP thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2449679).
This requires the TWRP Manager app from the Play Store. Install TWRP Manager, open it and provide root permissions. Then hit Advanced->Install Recovery.
Downside of this approach is that the TWRP Manager app requires you to install Stericson BusyBox. Since I didn't want to mess with an other already installed Busybox version, I looked for another approach
2. Flash new version through TWRP recovery itself. This is probably the most simple/straight approach.
Download zip version of TWRP 2.7.1.0 (e.g. from http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/g2d802)
Save it in phone memory. Reboot in recovery and flash zip the usual way.
I did use the second approach, which worked flawless.

Install Custom Recovery and Root for Moto G xt1033 Lollipop 5.1 <INDIA> stock

I am not responsible for devices this process works for my device moto g asia retail ..... Try this at your own risk
hey,
Chill everyone: while flashing twrp , custom recovery it seems mismatch of partition file ...... everyone donot use twrp who has posted in previous threads or donot flash devices with minimal ADB and fastboot through C: storage
You all need to Flash the custom recovery only through Platform tools from SDK
Then Download the latest TWRP file
After that Download supersu v2.46 then install into your device
Finally your device is rooted in Lollipop 5.1

bro, please tell step by step how to do it along with link to the required files.
Thanks

Requirements
Moto G Running lollipop 5.1 (incase you are on 5.0.2 or a custom rom search the forum for 5.1 firmware and flash it by the guide attached with them)
Twrp image From the official site or our xda forum
adb drivers
unlocked bootloader
CF-autoroot (you can find it anywhere on google)
First start your phone to the bootloader and run cf autoroot (this will root your 5.1 lollipop device)
second boot you phone and check for supersu then install flashify from appstore
third paste the twrp.img to you phone and select recovery from flashify and give it root permission
you are done flashify will install the custom recovery and you will also be rooted
(incase you are on the locked bootloader follow the steps to unlock bootloader from the other threat in moto g's xda forum

It worked perfectly. Thanks for sharing.

Give the link of twrp .img file of xt1033 (and pls dont give the link of xt1032)
Thanks

If you can't flash recovey or root... It might help you

That's a trick that i found and i want to share, because i think that lot of users can't root or move to a custom rom. I think is that we try to unlock bootloader on 4.4.4 and hits an error back. (Tell me if there is a solution for this)
Thats My Trick​1) First of ALL Use Iroot , kingroot (previously vroot) to root the phone
2) instal Flashify (for root users) from market
Go to Recovery image -> Download twrp -> Moto g 2013 -> 2.8.6.0
Flash it
!!!!! You have got recovery!!!!!
---->>> Root SuperSu
3)Go to kingroot Setings-> unroot
4)Uninstall kinguser (thanks to it)
5)copy root to sdcard Example : chainfire SuperSU zip
6)Boot into bootloader-> Recovery
flash root via twrp or
flash any rom(not tested)
I wish i help some with that trick... And sory for my bad english

Yes you can apply ota update via twrp recovery. For this just follow following steps(On your own risk) by the way following method worked for me to apply latest 5.8.0.19s update.
1) Download the latest ota update it should be located here (internal storage/data/com.letv.android.ota/files/otaUpdates) folder.
2) There should be a zip file just cut and paste it in root folder for easy process.
3) Now boot to TWRP recovery and flash zip file which is pasted in root folder.
4) Now format dalvik cache and if you want root, then root again because due to flashingnew rom root access and all other changes you have done in system will lost but all your data will be safe... (This method is usefull for same type of rom i.e. from stock rom to stock rom or custom rom to custom rom).
5) Just for your knowledge 5.8.0.19s update file is full rom file but if you want other versions such as 5.8.0.16s then use offline update packages which are full size i.e. around 1.7 gb.
Also you can flash root since twrp comes with inbuild root tools just locate it in twrp recovery in advanced/tools/root.
Also you can install stock rom just after flashing stock rom in place of any custom rom just wipe data and factory reset and then apply root. and reboot normally.
