OTA Updates with TWRP? or replace TWRP with stock recovery? - Moto G4 Questions & Answers

I've unlocked the bootloader and replaced with TWRP.
However, TWRP doesn't handle the OTA updates automatically.
Is there a way to use TWRP to do the update?
If not, is there a way to replace TWRP with the stock recovery?
This is for a Moto G4, build number MPJ24.139-48

TWRP can't handle OTA updates. You have to reflash the stock recovery in order to apply OTAs. You can grab -48's stock ROM here, pull out the recovery.img, boot into fastboot and flash it like you did TWRP.

Ok just had an update ota a flashed stock recovery but now when i hit xheck update its coming back as device up to date any advice

flashfire should be able to do the OTA for you, or you can do an adb sideload. do you mind if I ask which g4 you have and which OTA you are seeing? i have an amazon channel xt1625, and was lucky enough to unlock the bootloader before that window closed, but I haven't seen or heard of any OTA's for the amazon or non-amazon channel devices.

Nougat update

Hi,
I am seeing the update (US on Tmobile) and when I go to update; it starts. I have TWRP and that comes up during the update and I don't know what to do on TWRP main screen to let moto keep updating to Nougat. Can anyone help me understand what option to pick on that screen or what I would have to do to let the update take place?

you can only update OTA with stock recovery. you can flash that via fastboot.

yeah, sorry. should have checked for xt1644. glad you found it.
When your phone is on stock MM and you want to OTA update to N, you don't have to flash the whole thing (and start form scratch). Only replace TWRP with the stock recovery in fastboot, that should do the trick.
Recovery.img is part of the file you downloaded.

If you're game to give the HWOTA method a try, there are some instructions over in this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/mha-l29bc636b183-firmware-available-t3625358/page4
Make sure you do a full back up (I've found Hi-Suite does a great job of this) as it will wipe your phone.
Just updated to B187

New B391 update for FRD-L04

A new update just showed up on firmware finder. Hopefully we'll get it in another month or so. By the amount of features and changes it is bringing it might be EMUI 5.1
Edit: Turns out it is just EMUI 5.

Wait some days, It on the way
Updated my FRD L-14 to B391 five days ago and haven't noticed any difference at all.
It's same old crap.
besides mentioned features, only battery life has been better. at least for me.
