Hello,
I tried to find answers for my question but didn't find anything helpful.
I've got rooted device with custom recovery - TWRP.
What will happen if I install update from OTA on this device?
Will it brick? If yes, how should I update it to not brick it?

Hi! Noob here, just wanna ask some questions.
Is rooting different with flashing a custom recovery, or do when we root we automatically installs custom recovery to our device?
And if I am rooting my phone using Framaroot, does it install a custom recovery to my device? Thanks

UPDATE: Have been figured this out. So, Rooting doesnt mean installing a custom recovery.
I am in a very precarious position I rooted my phone via an application called root genius, It worked fine for a few days but now the phone is stuck in Boot-loop and will only go in a recovery my phone come with a fixed battery so I can't take that out as some people have suggested in other forums So i figured out that I need to flash a custom rom but voila that fails because my phone is rooted and does not support an OTA update Plz someone help me unroot my phone I can only go in recovery menu.
Thanks in advance to people who show concern :'(

Custom rom and OTA are very different things. For installing a custom rom, you'll need a custom recovery, for a custom recovery you'll need to unlock your bootloader first. You CAN'T unroot your phone if its hung in a boot loop.
You can download the stock firmware HERE
Thank You for replying
I have downloaded the stock firmware and i have tried installing it but that is where the problem occurs the phone says that it is an OTA update package and cannot resume the download because the phone is rooted.
Hello everyone,
My phone got OTA Lolipop 5..0.2 update some time ago and i was looking for a guide how to flash custom recovery and root the phone but there are so many different topics and different versions and so on .. could someone provide me with correct link?
I want to root my phone so as i understand i need to unlock my bootloader (already did it), then flash custom recovery and superSU.
Is there any working guide for Lolipop stock ROM? What recovery, superSU ver. should i flash and where should i get them? Thanks.
I had rooted my Lenovo A 7000 and installed CWM recovery(ported one as posted in XDA forum). Now I came to know that there is a new OTA update available. SO What should I do : (1) Directly accept update the OTA without unrooting, or (2) first unroot through SuperSu, then accept the available OTA, or (3) Should I apply the update( after downloading flashable zip file for this OTA, if available) through CWM recovery? Then, will I lose root and what difficulty may I face in re-rooting it after the update?
Hi there,
Sorry but I don't find any relevant info about OTA update to your device and you can ask directly in the thread bellow where owners can help you better:

On most android devices, you can't apply stock OTA updates on rooted devices or devices that have TWRP installed, stock updates require an unmodified system partition(meaning no root) and must have stock recovery because stock recovery is what actually flashes the update, TWRP cannot flash stock updates.
Do a Google search for:
"Return to stock (your model number)"
Or, you can try restoring a nandroid backup of your stock ROM if you ever created one in TWRP at any time before the update. Or you can try flashing a custom ROM for your specific device via TWRP.
