If anyone wants to try "systemless root" with OTA updates, here is the stock recovery so you theoretically could get the OTA updates.
1) OTA updates are NOT TESTED, I've never tried this and the combination of Systemless root + an OTA update with the stock recovery could soft brick or even hard brick your phone, so I'm not responsible.
2) I flashed this recovery myself, so it is safe to flash. The mistake I made was that I, after flashing it and booting back to system, I "rebooted to recovery" and the stock recovery wiped all my data (factory reset) so I had to reflash TWRP and restore my Nandroid backup (thank god I had one)
Instructions:
In Bootloader mode type via ADB:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.bin
Then reboot to system
If you happen to update via OTA with systemless root and this stock recovery let us all know how it went.

I heard the phone gets unrooted with an OTA? So what happens to the apps that need root access? They stay there and start working fine when you root again or need to be reinstalled?
Do you lose data in the process when you install OTA update on a rooted phone?
if i remember correctly , it will not have OTA with rooted phone even with stock ROM.
by root , you must have change some system file , most case, flash CWM recovery and install superuser, which will effectively fail the OTA.
You will get the ota.
it will install perfectly normal if you still have stock recovery.
if you have custom recovery manually flash the update.zip Then flash su.zip. You're now stock rooted.

I have stock recovery and I do have some third party apps installed as system apps but I havent deleted any.
I'll think unless I am one of the first to get OTA I'll prolly be too impatient to wait for it anyways and flash through CWM. But will I lose data flashing through CWM? I have flashed stock roms through stock recovery when it was allowed in GB and never lost data but I wasnt rooted back then.

Be patient, stay rooted, soon after the release I am sure there will be a stock rom that you can flash via CWM,
You won't loose data.
You can flash official updates through cwm no problem. In fact that was the only way to do it manually after 4.0.3. Stock recovery would not allow manually flashing the update zip. Would end up in a error 7.
So it was either wait for the update to be pushed to your phone or flash it manually with a custom recovery
I don't understand these directions from the FAQ:
"Q. How to get back to stock? I need to give my phone to warranty services how do I revert to official LG rom?
A. Check this thread. It is the v10b 2.2 stock rom as a flashable zip package. If you can't access the recovery, then see if the firmware for your country is available here or use this tool. Download the firmware and use the KDZ tool to flash. You will find instructions to use the KDZ tool on this thread. For a picture guide, check this thread.
Also for official GB lovers, see this and this. It is a v20g rom in flashable zip package. Or if you'd rather flash v20c/g roms from LGMDP, the links for that can be found in this thread.
If you are on Optimus V, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1025911
If you are on the Optimus T, see this post. Uses the KDZ method.
Q. How do I restore the stock recovery?
A. Download the original recovery zip file from here and flash it. (Yes, you can flash a recovery from within recovery itself)"
I have LG P500 from USA T-Mobile. I'm on V20 Baseband.
1)Is kdz the only way to go back to stock?
2)Which way is the safer and better way to get back to stock?
3)How (full instructions) to get back to stock rom for USA T-Mobile?
4)How (full instructions) to get back to stock recovery for USA T-Mobile?
yes you can flash a recovery from recovery, if it is a flashable zip
you need to stick with your phone not other variants of LG p500, O-1(Europe), O-T or O-V, dunno what is the T-mobile USA version, but is it written inside your phone under battery
1) KDZ is for flashing software in your phone, but beware, if you are unexperienced you may brick your phone for good, but you can try it, DO NOT PULL OUT BATTERY OR DO SOMETHING WHILE KDZ IS NOT FINISHED FLASHING PHONE OR YOU WILL HARDBRICK IT (but, I do not think someone at service will notice that, after a hardbrick, it just went dead and nothing else, nobody knows nothing)
2)if you do not know what are you doing, nothing is safe, anyway, as I mentioned, a hardbrick is a hardbrick and if you still have warranty, you are lucky
3)http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1824618 search there
4) LG P500 doesn't have stock recovery(just bootloader)
if you do not know what to flash try to find a T-mobile rom image (MAKE A REQUEST-someone will post it), and first time when flashing a recovery is to backup original rom for what will come after
LGMDP will work like this, it upgrades rom when you have an older version, so try to flash an older custom rom, find an Froyo 2.2 and flash it as any custom rom, boot, conect your phone to PC, that means that you have LG USB drivers installed, start LGMDP and w8 to detect your phone, after that goto options & help, select country, carrier, phone, w8 to detect latest update, start update
in case that your phone is not detected, boot into recovery, goto mounts and mount USB, that will make LGMDP detect your phone, start updating

KDZ is generally discouraged . However if you can find a Nandroid back up of GB , then that would be the safest way . I went back to stock froyo with the help of this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1955354

Your have V20 that is new baseband so any rom from GingerBread onwards is good for you . Stock recovery can be flashed sitting right from custom recovery . Check out this thread for custom recovery and ROM of 2.3.3 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1309744 .

I have 210.12.40.falcon_umts.EURetail.en.EU ROM installed on my XT1032.
I also have TWRP recovery. I want to install Lollipop OTA so I have to get back to stock recovery.
I tried to flash recovery.img from https://mega.co.nz/#!HRpRTR4Q!GNPL3a1Syc8vwholky1wNNfX4rQ-24swytFM6cUVowM via fastboot but it's not working (red triangle). How to do that?
You need to flash back to stock 4.4.4 with no root and stock recovey, update Motorola Services app in the play store, then check for OTA updates..

Please read before answering.
I have stock 4.4.4 and I have OTA avaliable. But I can't install it with custom recovery.
My problem is only that I can't install stock recovery.
Did you unzip the file and try to flash the stock recovery using fastboot?
You did not mention whether your ROM was rooted, had any apps removed, etc,. and this is why I suggest re-flashing to make sure you have a completely stock ROM.
You have the EU retail ROM on your phone and the link is for the Retail GB. Not sure if both ROMs use the same recovery and partition layout.
I've just finished flashing stock recovery, this is the guide I used:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/general/gpe-ota-lrx21z-5-0-1-xt1033-xt1032-t2969847
You're going to have to download mfastbootv2, Minimal ADB and Fastboot and the batch files, then mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img and I guess you're done.
Though I've did the whole tutorial, so I'm not sure if that one command is enough if you only want to flash recovery, but I think that's all you need.
Need 5.0.1 stock recovery to update to 5.1 ota

So, for last 2 hours I was trying to flash stock recovery. I tried to flash different ROMs, wiped data and system several times. Nothing seemed to work. After flashing recovery.img from any stock firmware package there always was red triangle and it didn't work. All custom recoveries works.
So since I've already had my data wiped, I just flashed Lollipop with fastboot and it works well. But still doesn't have stock recovery.
Hi Guys.
I've reached a state of confusion reading about OTA-updates, TWRP and root. My question question is this:
I installed TWRP, flashed the verity opt encryption kernel and rooted my G930F. Everything works and all is good. But with the new Chainfire AUTO-ROOT (is it X.72?) OTA-updates has been disabled.
I'm confused about the reason for this. Does this mean that I risk bricking my phone if I at some point in timez deside to flash stock rom via ODIN? Or will this just replace TWRP with original recovery and overwrite root?
Sorry for my noob-mind. I'm new to Samsung devices.
Best regards.
If you flash stock rom via Odin TWRP will be deleted and stock recovery will be installed. You will also lose root privileges. Make sure you have a backup before flashing stock via Odin. Once restored stock rom via odin follow same steps you took the first time you rooted your phone.

Unlocked U11 with unlocked bootloader, trwrp recovery and rooted stock. Have not flashed custom rom. Steps to take OTA Oreo?
Flash back to stock. Use the firmware zip it is on now to reset. You should then be able to take ota's. No need to unroot, relock etc.
Flash stock unrooted FW due twrp?
Sent from my HTC U11 using XDA Labs
Believe I have bricked my device. Flashed RUU using appropriate RUU exe from HTC. Intaller ran for @1hour with 0% process. Battery was at 93% and ran to under 30% halting process. Had to disconnect to recharge. Will call HTC to see if they can help.
Update- All cool. Battery died, charged phone boots up fine. Still on stock. Need to restore stock recovery.

If I'm not mistaken, flashing back to stock with the ruu will in affect unroot your phone. You'd still have twrp and an unlocked bootloader, but you'd have to install SuperUser or Magisk again.
Am I correct?

Flashing back to stock with the ruu will replace TWRP with stock recovery, thus making it able to take OTA.
If it's rooted or TWRP installed, it will stall at beginning of OTA process .

What if you just remove twrp and go back to the stock recovery? Would it then break root?

You could remove root of SuperSU or Magisk and then flash stock recovery over TWRP.
Haven't tried that and not sure if it would work. A rooted phone won't take OTA.
Would save restore chores if you could.

only way to take OTA is go back to stock rom by using RUU (will lost data, back to stock recovery, unroot already).
On rooted stock rom, i tried unroot and flash stock recovery by ADB but it still cant install OTA update
Flashing back to stock will unroot and flash stock recovery. If you dont do it that way you cannot update ota as the signature of the firmware is broken. You have to 're-sign' the firmware by flashing it again.
Flashing stock firmware will NOT relock or lock the bootloader. It will NOT s-on. If your bootloader is unlocked and/or s-off do not change them as there is no need.
3 essentials for the m9 are:
Stock firmware ruu.zip
S-off
Charger cable.
