My dad's phone has a custom recovery and has a ROM of the version of KitKat before the OTA. Have ROMs been updated to support the official release yet? How do I know which ones are on the new or old drivers? Would it simply be to flash the ROM through the recovery, or do I have to go back and install the OTA, then flash a new recovery and ROM?
Thanks.

I am currently on EuphoriaOS May 3 with TWRP 2.8.6.0 and want to revert back to Final Mahdi 4.4.4. What is the procedure to do this?
Your going to need to flash the KitKat firmware before flashing the ROM. You can flash the last cyanogenmod snapshot CM11 build. It has the firmware built in. Then wipe again and flash mahdi/4.4.4 gapps. You can find those on android file host.

Hi All,
Background:
Installed TWRP recovery to downgrade to KitKat from Android ver 5.0.2 / COS 12.0 YNg1TAS17L
( I guess the changes in lollipop made me to do so).
But after installing TWRP, for some reason or other I did nothing and now the issue is the OTA are not getting installed. From other similar thread I know that we can download the OTA zip and install through TWRP and I am not looking to get into that...as I am giving this device to my family.
Help Required:
1) Is there a way to uninstall TWRP and go back to stock recovery without losing any data?
( Is it as simple as flashing recovery image from the Stock ROM?)
2) Using the OnePlus tool kit can we flash the stock ROM which will also restore the stock recovery?
(If so is it possible to flash the latest ROM 5.1.1 or CM12.1)
I just need guidance here with steps on what will be the best and safe approach without frying up my device.
Please suggest

Numerous other threads on the same subject... I don't understand why you are not ready to flash the OTA through TWRP but you are through stock recovery... It's the same thing... Don't use toolkit, they are the ones, in 99% of the cases, that "fry" your phone... As soon as TWRP is installed no OTA will automatically, you will have to flash them manually.
I was on a custom build of android 6 and had twrp and then I got an update and installed it. Now I have lost TWRP... Is that even possible? Also when in recovery it says can't mount sdcard!
Was it a custom ROM based on stock 6.0? If it is, it's possible that the update was pushed to the phone because Google sees the phone as running a stock ROM and only a stock recovery can install a stock recovery.
What I don't get is how and why users running custom roms receive and accept stock OTA notification updates.
If you had twrp installed, then the OTA would not install - it would fail.
so i got my mate7 over a year ago and right from the start i installed cm11. i only had the stock rom for a week. its been so long that i forgot this phone has a fingerprint scanner. i have decided to flash the latest huawei rom and then shortly after flash KangVIP. the problem is that i dont know where to begin.
im currently running CM11 from this thread. i installed TWRP using acbka's tool (thanks!). so, where do i go from here? im guessing i go to stock recovery and then do a serious of stock firmware upgrades. the problem is i dont know which ones.
my phone model is an MT7-L09 (im in the US if that matters). im hoping i can get LP installed before the spring semester. any and all help is appreciated. thanks and happy new year.
For coming back to huawei stock rom from CM11 I usually:
(Wipe /data and /system from recovery)
Flash from recovery this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-7/development/rom-erykinemt7-v1-0-0-mt7-l09-b137sp03-t3044695 or any kitkat rom that comes with flashable zip
Flash the stock kitkat recovery (Option 1 from acbka's tools)
Flash a stock kitkat rom (this for example --- I didn't try flashing Lollipop stock rom here, you can just try it or install kitkat stock then lollipop stock) using huawei update tool (you have to put the stock rom in /dload folder, then go to settings, update and start a local update). It's important that you have flashed the stock recovery in the previous step because a non-official recovery won't let you install huawei software.
Now you can receive OTA updates
(I use cwm recovery but I think that it's just the same with twrp)
