My phone is rooted, and has TWRP custom recovery installed.
The phone automatically downloaded the OTA, and tried to install it. With TWRP, the update failed and my phone is working fine now.
I don't need the rooting anymore (was for teetering, but with new data plan it's now included). So I'm okay with losing the root and all.
Using SuperSU I deselected the rooting, and after reboot RootCheck tells me my phone is not rooted. I still have TWRP installed.
Now, I'm stock MF1/ 4.1.2. How do I install the 4.3 update and remove the TWRP recovery? I found in another thread the 4.3 Tar file. Do I simply use Odin on my PC and flash it on my phone? What about TWRP?

Are you sure you want the 4.3, this latest rom will lock your bootloader permanently, meaning you will NOT able to install CWM,TWRP, custom rom/kernel or downgrade the OS to the early version. The only thing you can do once updated is root. If you still decided to upgrade, just Odin the full rom MF1 here http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23134718111254196 then after bootup your OS should auto update to the latest (OTA).

I had the same question myself, and have been proverbially "running around in circles" today (instead of working). Anybody have success flashing said Odin file and then upgrading via the OTA?
Ha! I came from a mytouch3g years ago, flashing incessantly. I got this phone so i could stop. Then rooted to take the ads away, and got a bit more than I bargained for... now I just want back on OTA stock.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Cheers

if you download this full firmware http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23134718111254196 unzip the file then use Odin to flash, this will bring you back to pure stock rom with stock recovery (no more twrp/cwm). After this you will be prompt for OTA and just take the upgrade. Once done you should be on the latest factory 4.3 with locked bootloader.
I ended up downloading the 4.3 files from another post here, and flashing it with Odin. Worked fine.
Of course, without a root, can't recover my apps from Titanium but oh well.

Why don't you just root with saferoot found here?http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2565758
I wish I would have found this thread before starting my own... woops. Anyway I would like to install 4.3 and I too rooted with twrp. I don't care anymore if I am rooted or not. I stopped flashing roms and such a while back and will be upgrading this next year to the s5 most likely.
Is there a way to install 4.3 w/out removing root? If not, since I never used odin, and used twrp what steps do/should I take to get back to where I can install 4.3?
Thank you.

Since your life is too busy and you don't want to mess with your phone anymore, your best bet is go back to stock 4.3 which is very good by the way, very stable, smooth and bug free. After so many complaints from my wife I rolled it back to stock 4.3 and she's so happy now.
1. Flash stock MF1 here http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23134718111254196 , just unzip the flash with Odin
2. Your phone should take the 4.3 OTA update and you're home free.
Okay, I'll start with the problem. After a few days I flashed the Moto G GPE Firmware using MotoTool, from the xda forums. Everything was great, but I downloaded a ROM (Paranoid Android), made a Backup, and flashed it as usual. When the phone booted, an encryption unsuccessful message popped up. I rebooted into recovery and restored my last backup. I saw in xda that the problem was probably generated by using the GPE version, so today I downloaded my stock firmware, flashed it, but the phone got stuck on the logo. Tried the same with another firmwares, and still got the same problem. I rebooted into the Bootloader, flashed TWRP, flashed the PhilZ GPE recovery, sideloaded PA again, got the same problem. Flashed CarbonROM (after doing every wipe and stuff), and got the same message. Tried CM11, didn't worked. But the problem is...
How can I correctly flash my original firmware if it's not working? I need to go back to the "normal" Moto G, so I can flash ROMs and stuff.
Bump
Please, close thread
Finally fixed it flashing the 4.4 US Retail. I was trying to flash the 4.3 US Retail, from the GPE Firmware, and it wouldn't work because the gpt.bin command always failed.
Please, close thread.
Hi there,
yesterday I updated my XT925 Stock 4.1.2 to the 4.4.2 update. That worked great but removed root.
I then opened the bootloader, flashed TWRP, flashed SuperSU and installed SlimKat.
It's OK, but I really would like to get the stock ROM back, I'm missing many features.
Unfortunately the Recovery-Backup didn't survive the process
Can I flash the 4.1.2 stock-ROM although I got the new bootloader by updating to 4.4.2 in the first time?
Where can I get the 4.2.1-ROM?
9.8.2Q-8-XT925_VQUL-1601_USERSIGNED_S7_USAVANQUO2DE02C.0R_LSAVNQJBO2DE_P014_A004_CFC.xml.zip

sbf.droid-developers.com seems offline and I can't find any mirror.
Or is there a KitKat-Stock-ROM out there? Can I install a canadian/... Firmware instead?
Thank you very much in advance!
I got it!
I'm back to the nice updated stock ROM and I also have root access.
Here's what I did:
Flashed the stock ROM via RSDLite (with the three lines getvar, tz and partition deleted from the xml).
(Rooted it via Motochopper to test some things, but it will be unrooted anyway by the following update)
Did the update to stock ROM 4.4.2 (no root anymore).
Since my bootloader is open I then flashed TWRP via Fastboot.
Then I installed SuperSU via TWRP and gained root again.
Hi,
I have a UK Moto G (2013) running 4.4.4 KitKat and I installed CWM recovery and rooted it some time ago. Now they are pushing out Lollipop OTA I am getting nagged by the phone to update - but, it always fails when I try. Presumably this will be because of the CWM and/or root. I tried a full unroot but that didn't help as CWM kept complaining on the upgrade reboot about something (can't remember what now!). I've read that in order to get the OTA update to work, I have to get the phone completely back to stock, but I can't find a working stock recovery for it. Do I have to take it back to stock or not ? Either way, would anyone know how I can get the OTA update to work please ?
I've tried flashing a couple of stock recoveries, but one fails to flash at all and the other doesn't work - you choose recovery and it just reboots the phone.
At the moment it's back to rooted, unlocked bootloader and CWM recovery.
Any help you could offer would be very gratefully received.
Thanks!
Are you able to locate the phone's from here: http://www.filefactory.com/folder/c6cdedc45a775d27/?sort=filename&order=ASC&show=100&page=1
I providing as much information as i can (and think you need) for your help.
My HTC M8 when I bought it new from the store it came with lollipop on the 02uk network, I then got the official update to marshmallow. I was quite happy with this but needed an app that required root.
So I unlocked my bootloader, downloaded openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.0-m8 and installed SuperSU via the recovery. But something went wrong, when I rebooted there was no OS installed, I must have accidentally deleted it. But I hadn’t made a nandroid backup at this point.
Since then I have been trying to get back to stock. I research and looked around the only way I can flash marshmallow is if I go further and pay for S-Off.
So my plan was to Install back to stock Lollipop then get the upgrade again to marshmallow.
Even this proved to be difficult. And is where I could use some advice.
My CID is HTC 02__001 So I found the Nandroid collection on XDA and downloaded
1.54.206.5 - TWRP
1.12.206.17 – TWRP
The latest updates for these seem to be very old (not Lollipop) but I gave it a shot installed the roms, the recovery and locked the bootloader. Then went to upgrade all the way to where I was. Unfortunately, after so many updates the WIFI stopped working and I was unable to upgrade further., ad the only way of repairing was reflashing the rom.
In the settings, I noticed my build number was 4.16.401.13 and remember seeing this version in the collection
So used the stock recovery from that and flashed the rom, then locked the bootloader.
The 4.16 is the international version CID__001 while this got me straight to lollipop I don't have the original bootup screen with the 02 animation. And when I go into the updates there is only 3 security updates not marshmallow.
I did attempt to download and flash OTA Marshmallow when i done this from
http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-m8/news/
but kept running into errors with the bootloader signiture check, I then realised its because I needed S-Off
So at the moment I am on 4.16 international, I have unlocked the bootloader and running TWRP recovery until I can figure this out.
Would I be right in thinking I cannot use 1.54 recovery with 4.16 rom as a restore?
Or are there files that I have overlooked for 02uk lollipop stock rom and recovery?
Also if needed my baseband version 1.29
This thread is no longer needed, After extensive searching and looking at loads of different sites and options I found http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860
Which was able to help me fully restore.
