Update error with stock firmware?

I'm Canadian user. I flash stock 4.3 stock Rom, using system update tried to update to 4.4, but got error, do I need to lock the bootloader? or can I just flash 4.4 stock firmware?

If you have them, you need to remove the root and custom recovery.

I have an s-on ruu posted for 4.4.4 that doesnt wipe data. It's in exe form so it's very easy to run. After that flash your twrp and make a stock backup. Then flash away....

If we have s-off and are unlocked will it do any harm to just accept the ota from Verizon?

No harm at all provided you are on stock recovery and haven't modified system in any way.

[Q] Stock recovery image

Hey there,
does someone know, if there is the stock recovery image (for original firmware updates) available?
Thanks for your answers.

No there is not. Xperia devices do not have a stock recovery that you can access

But I can't update the stock firmware with custom recoveries.

Yes you can, use flashtool.net to flash a FTF
Or PCCompanion to update if you have not unlocked the bootloader.

[Q] How to come back to stock RECOVERY?

hi,
I have Lolipop 5.0 in my Moto G + root + TWRP. I received the 5.0.1 OTA but of course I can't apply the update because of TWRP. I read (here) that I need to come back to stock recovery to apply the update. I'll loose root access but that's ok, I'll root again later. My question is: how do I come back to stock recovery?
Thank you.

The same way you flash twrp.

to flash TWRP I download the lastest version of TWRP on their website. How can I do the same with stock recovery???

There are links here where to download stock recovery. Can't browse the forum now. But i too have downloaded the stock from a post here. Hope it helps.

can't find XT1032 Lollipop stock recovery on XDA, I guess I'll have to open a new thread to ask... I flashed 4.4.4 stock recovery (through MotoTool AIO software) but I haven't been able to flash 5.0.1 update then. So I think 5.0 stock recovery is required to update to 5.0.1.
Thanks for your help.
If by chance you have the link to XT1032 5.0 stock recovery, please post it!

I guess you're using custom rom so restore to STOCK ROM .
Follow this guide (at the end dont flash any custom recovery) Stock recovery XT1032
Automatically you'll get stock recovery

no, I'm using stock ROM, with TWRP + root, that's it. So I just need to stock recovery to apply OTA update.
But thanks for the link, I understand how to use it to come back to stock recovery. Except... that this guide is for XT1033. Do you think I can use recovery.img XT1033 image file to flash my XT1032?

[Q]how to flash OTA package with twrp?

i have new recovery twrp(decryption support) installed and also patched boot.img with root, now i want to flash update_data_hw_full package and an ota update.zip package, which is stock firmware. can i flash it with patched boot? or do i need to flash stock boot.img first? and will flashing this firmware with twrp work? bcz it is an OTA package

No, TWRP can't flash stock Huawei packages, you'll need the stock recovery.
You may also need stock boot.img, not sure, I don't use it.

Once i flashed those nougat files with twrp and its all working good. But thats an old ver of MM twrp..
Haven't tried the new one.
