Lenovo k3 note. It's is rooted and cwm recovery is installed. I downloaded Marshmallow update through OTA but the update failed to install. Is it because of the cwm recovery ? Also after the update failed to install, it's asking again to download the update. Any help ?

[Q] Manually update rooted one s to 4.1.1

I have downloaded ota 4.1.1 update but i don't know how to instal.
My one s is rooted and i have cwm. When i try to instal it via cwm it show me instal aborted.
You cant install official OTA's with a 3rd party recovery. You need to relock your bootloader and install stock recovery for it to work.
.. Or you can install a custom ROM
No need to install stock recovery.

So I flashed again that rooting file thru odin 3 times,
but still itz showing the same error.
So Dev's I kindly request u guyz to provide any solution to this problem.
Its really freaking me out .
Plzzz help me Guyszz....
You may need to flash a stock firmware, something may be borked in system, by updating your firmware and updating your custom recovery it will probably fix issue . After wards root update binary again and flash roms.
Pp.
any other solutions Bro
If something is borked due to a bad flash or bad or wrong download the only way to fix it is to reflash original stock firmware in order to fix it. You then start all over again.
I keep a folder on my pc with all the stuff I need incase this happens.

Flash a custom recovery. Download latest SuperSU zip from SuperSu thread and flash in recovery

[Q] Need help with stock recovery on OnePlus

I rooted my OnePlus with TWRP recovery sometime back and current image is CM11. I need to upgrade it to CM12 however all the manuals I found require stock recovery to upgrade from CM11 to CM12
I was wondering if it's possible to upgrade to CM12 with TWRP recovery? If not, how I can get stock recovery restored?
Also, if I manage to upgrade to CM12, is there a possibility for OTA updates in future?
Dud download lollipop bootanimation and flash through TWRP

1. Download the flashable CM12s zip file.
2. Store it under the root directory.
3. Go to TWRP recovery (Please make sure you use the latest version 2.8.6.0).
4. Do factory reset (wipe dalvic cache and other memory)
5. Flash the CM12 zip.
6. Reboot and enjoy....
Also, you will get OTA if you manually flash the CM12s.

You don't need stock recovery, just flash with TWRP.

Thanks for your help. Was able to flash CM12 successfully.
But facing another issue now - As soon as phone booted with CM12, it downloaded OTA system update. When I try to install the update, phone reboots in twrp recovery and update doesn't complete. Tried numerous times (with and without 'update CM recovery' toggle) but with same result.

Some md5 error. Was able to workaround it by flashing the OTA update via TWRP directly

Good to hear that.... MD5 error occurs when the downloaded file is corrupted.
