D802 stock, rooted, with TWRP.
To get OTA I need to have a stock recovery. So how do I get rid of twrp? Do I have to flash new system with kdz file?
the only way to get stock recovery is to go back to stock entirely and start from scratch
Can we get OTA updates through custom recovery in such a method?
Get OTA files from an unrooted S5 when it's ready to OTA and flash it to a rooted S5 through the custom recovery?
Is there a way to get the OTA files?
I have a rooted S5 and I just used Kies and it installed the update with no data loss for me ******still back it up***** Then I just reinstalled a custom recovery and SuperSU binaries to root.
I think you cant since stock rom OTA needs a stock recovery
Not only a stock recovery but also unrooting the phone.
Samsung OTA must do a rom check is quite annoying, while Huawei's OTA does not check whether you rom is modified but the files to be updated.
So I need to revert my OP2 back to 100% stock. I found my self some flashable stock firmwares but I'm not certain if using odin would work. Im noob at this lol. I currently have installed TWRP and root on my OP2. Can anyone tell me the process to undergo in order to go back to 100% stock
Yeah flash the 2.0 image and then apply the ota update. This will give you stock firmware and recovery.

Do not use Odin for anything related to OnePlus devices. Odin is used to flash firmware on Samsung phones.
Just flash the stock recovery image through TWRP. Wipe cahce & dalvik. Let the phone boot into Oxygen OS 2.0. It will then prompt you to update the firmware to 2.1.1. Apply that update and it will get you back to stock on the latest firmware.

I did what you say, and I'm back to stock! THank you! Also after doing full reset, TWRP prompted me if it were to overwrite the stock recovery, i said no, and then the device is 100% stock again!
Sorry if I'm posting in wrong section actually I'm a newbie
Hi all, I've updated my Note 3 SM-N900 to Cm 14 nougat 7.1.1 unofficial lonage os by ha_3g. Now i want to go back to my stock Twiz 5.0 lollipop, is it possible I've all my rom backedup by TWRP. Can i restore my backup without any problem?
Thanks in advance
nah,usually i just flash my firmware using odin without backup
Usually if you want to revert back to stock firmware, everything will be removed, including your custom recover(TWRP in this case), miscellaneous files and folders that were previously on your custom ROM. So, in summary, you won't be able to recover your backed up apps/data as TWRP will get wiped out as well, being replaced by the stock Samsung recovery.
Yep, wipe system, data, cache & dalvik then restore your backup.
Before updating I've backed up my stock Twiz rom via TWRP, now i just want to revert back to my Stock rom which was lollipop 5.0. I'm afraid bcz I've seen some where that we cannot install 5.0 (lower version) over 7.1 (greater) version it will brick the phone bcz of some bootloader issues, btw I've not messed up with bootloader, so plz advise me if it will be safe or not.
Lot of Thanks for the members of the forum who replied in no time & who r ready to help. Salute to all of u. you people r great
Only a stock firmware flashed with Odin can upgrade your bootloader.
And the latest official firmware for Note 3 is Lollipop 5.0.
So your bootloader still 5.0 even if you flashed a nougat rom.
Even more, custom roms don't touch bootloader or modem partitions, ever.
Go ahead
Hey bro. Just go to sammobile.com and download your rom and flash via Odin. Only Odin can downgrade your BL and Modem
Thanks alot for the clarification I'll go ahead now.
I can swap between 7.1 Nougat and 5.0 stock, with no issues, through my nandroids.
If you had a nandroid before, you shouldn't have any issue just using the TWRP function to restore your backup. It will be exactly as you had it before.
The only difference will be that you will still have TWRP installed, etc.
Anyways, you can swap back and forth as much as you like. You don't have to wipe anything, or use Odin, since you made a nandroid already.
Yes you can go back to lollipop . I have done that in my sm 900 exynos version. marshmallow and nougat drains battery
Does anyone know how to fix the bootloop when flash custom ROMs after the 7.0 update? I have a xt1575 and I updated to stock 7.0 via stock recovery. But now whenever I flash twrp and try to flash a custom ROM, it gets stuck in a bootloop. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Just Flash a mm like RR and than a N (RR) overwriting last ROM without wiping anywhing. After that back to twrp And flash any N ROM again. It worked for me.
Flash MM modem for your region.
