Hey guys,
I am sorry for creating the thread if it is already answered somewhere but i didn't manage to find it.
I have a stock LP ROM and I've rooted it and installed custom recovery, and now OTA won't install v30d since device is suspected of rooting. I've already tried unrooting the device through superSU but it wasn't helpful. Do I need to restore a stock recovery too or what's the catch? By the way I don't want to reinstall stock ROM because I am already using it and it works pretty fine but it is bugging me that the phone keeps informing me about new ROM and I can't install it.
Please help or at least point me to the right place and again I don't want to reinstall stock ROM
Install recovery buckup data then flash stok rom then update and last install recovery again and restore data

So here is the list of question (sorry if i annoy but please let me know my answers)
After rooting will i get OTA updates?
Some seniors say that i cant get OTA updates with custom recovery installed??
So can i try custom recovery temporery and then when i'll found update arrived on other unrooted devices i'll restore to stock recovery? will it help?
And if i backup my stock ROM and install custom ROM on my device and then for OTA can i just restore stock and get the update?
Please answers stuck on this things

yes you will get ota updates but android 5 has done some changes to root so after updating there may be some problems

no if u install a custom recovery u will not get ota updates as ota update requires a stock recovery to install itself
So can i try custom recovery temporery and then when i'll found update arrived on other unrooted devices i'll restore to stock recovery? will it help?
And if i backup my stock ROM and install custom ROM on my device and then for OTA can i just restore stock and get the update?
yes u can temp try custom recovery and then restore to stock

I have CWM installed, but I am running stock, no root. I got the 5.0.2 update today and told it to apply. Didn't pay close enough attention on reboot, was asked something about applying something in recover and don't remember if I said yes or no, then prompted for adding root (both of those were in CWM Recovery) and I know I said no to root. After the reboot I was still running 4.4.4.
So I guess I am ready to just manually download and install. Can anyone help me make sure which thread I should be looking at for instructions? I just feel like I have looked at everything and am not confident I am doing the right things. Can I just download the image linked in the Stock OTA URLs thread, then install from recovery?
Installed CWM without Root? :/

There are a few threads that deal with upgrading lollipop to marshmallow, but they seem to raise as many questions as they answer - mainly since they were usually written before rooted images were distributed.
Basically, I am on an unlocked, rooted stock XT1575 with TWRP 2.8.7.0. It sounds like it's less efficient and has lots of potential problems to go back to stock, unroot, install OTA, do new system root, and re-add TWRP.
Instead, it sounds like the simplest method to get to stock rooted MM, with least steps and potential problems, should be this:
Update TWRP to 2.8.7.1 using IMG file here from within TWRP Recovery (TWRP Manager did not install it when I tried via Android proper - I was still at 2.8.7.0)
Do a full TWRP backup of my current Lollipop stock rooted installation (I assume this means I can restore without problems if the MM install goes awry)
*Optional: Use Titanium Backup to backup settings of important apps, and text messages/MMS.
In TWRP, Wipe->Swipe to Factory Reset
Transfer to phone and Flash via TWRP the stock rooted odexed ROM from this thread (not sure if there is a good argument for deodexed? I've never gotten a clear answer why one should be better, but would stick with odexed just because I believe it is "stock" so maybe less problems?)
Install SuperSU 2.62 from this thread by simply flashing it as normal in TWRP 2.8.7.1.
Reinstall all programs on initial setup. [*Optional: Reinstall via Titanium backup]
I assume if I do this I will: have marshmallow; have root; have working TWRP.
Does anyone see any obvious problems with this method? Thanks, I really appreciate any comments.
EDIT: Yes, I tried this method. It all worked, except I've added SuperSU installation steps that worked for me, since the "Stock Rooted" ROM is NOT actually rooted when I flash it. Also, used Titanium Backup successfully for some programs, so added that as an option.
Sorry to bump, but any response from someone with experience would be very helpful. I just want to make sure I don't have to go through the whole unroot/OTA/reinstall TWRP/reinstall root procedure that every thread says seems to cause problems...
Answered my own question - edited the main post to show the method used successfully.
Thank you for this answer thread. I was looking for the simplest answer for upgrading to MM without having to unroot and reflash everything. Looks like this is the easiest for now (I have having to reinstall everything, since some games I play to NOT react nicely to data being restored via titanium).
Have a brand new XT1575 with 5.1.1, Does the MM Update break root ability. I primarily want it for xposed, adaway. No ROMing
Should I update and then root? or root and then update?
I personally have found that following this method breaks root possibilities. MM is rooted, but when I got to the point of installing SuperSU via these steps, it broke EVERYTHING (settings stopped working, Motorola Services stopped working, etc).
I have to start from scratch again now.
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.
I've never ran into this issue all the Android Devices I have owned. I'm hoping it's something simple yet annoying as fukc. Not sure if it's a TWRP issue ? SuperSU (latest version after update) is there and it shows as all apps are Granted su permissions.
As of right now, I'm back to my original stock MPJ24.139-49 , with unlocked bootloader. I am seeing a few different SuperSU(s) in the threads to flash. I would just flash stock firmware but trying to get to file is a pain in the ass.
Any help greatly appreciated...
https://download.chainfire.eu/751/SuperSU/BETA-SuperSU-v2.62-3-20151211162651.zip this works for me and i also restored from nandroid backup and didn't lose root so yeah try it u don't need to patch boot.img or anything just flash it with twrp dats it
