Ok so here is my issue. I have flashed TWRP 3.0.2-r5 by squid2 and have been using it for a long time. Motorola recently released security patches for osprey. I downloaded the update but couldn't flash it. Obviously the update is signed by Motorola and maybe that is why TWRP can't flash it.
Is there any way to temporarily disable TWRP and go back to stock recovery?
Flash stock recovery through fastboot. As long you have not made any changes to the stock ROM, kernel change, root, deleting or adding system apps, modifying the build.prop, etc you should be good. If you need TWRP, you can flash it after applying the update.

Thanks... could you provide a link for stock recovery? XT1550 2GB Indian version? I found something here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/2015-moto-g/general/index-moto-g-factory-firmware-images-t3169639
but not absolutely sure.
You'll need to download the factory firmware for your model and Android version and extract the recovery from there. I do not have that model.

Thanks a lot
It's XT1550_OSPREY_RETASIA_DS_2GB_6.0.1_MPI24.107-55-2_cid7_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.XML.zip, last link under XT1550 section.

I'm on the XT1540 and I got my OTA notification and went back to stock recovery (still rooted and unlocked bootloader) but it fails halfway through flashing everytime. I reflashed TWRP and captured the OTA into a zip but get an error about updating binary or something when flashing it. Is there something I need to delete from the OTA zip to allow it to flash in twrp?

You cannot update your systems software using the OTA update if you are rooted and have modified the system in any way as there are checks of original system during the auto update over the OTA. This means having the original recovery too. Wont work on TWRP or CWM. So no root and no custom recovery for OTA. Unlocked bootloader is okay.
In case you want to try the OTA update then what I have noticed on my XT1550 dual sim APAC version is that even unrooting it using the SuperSu unroot option is not going to help. In my case I could download the OTA and waited till it replaced the system software but got stuck midway of the boot animation.
I had to flash the 23.72-33 version of the stock ROM and opt for the OTA update. This time though I was successful.
Hope this info helps.
Yes, what arunhebbare says. you need to back up al your data and restore your stock firmware and than update via ota.
that is the best way of doing it

This...do a full factory image restore, then adb sideload the ota file. It's signed. TWRP can't install it.
Just use fastboot to flash the factory image for the version you want ... screw wiping your user partition like the above recommends.

This...I can't understand, for the life of me, why everyone is wiping userdata with fastboot....that wipes your android data, and internal storage in one shot. Cache erasing is another totally unnecessary step. All that's necessary, at the most, is a factory reset with TWRP to wipe the android data and both caches....but even that shouldn't technically be necessary for an update like this. It's not like this is the marshmallow update!!

@arunhebbare I've got the APAC version of the G3 as well, which ROMs are you flashing? I could only find images of the India version, did you use those?
Hi everyone,
Here i bring a quick way to FULL Restore/Update Stock to v10j no matter from which version you are coming from. (E.g...v10e,v10d,v10i)
This will restore/update your phone to full stock v10j deleting all trace of root and TWRP Custom Recovery, your internal storage will be untouch.
STEPS :
---------
1- Download BootStack zip T-Mobile Users Click Here , MetroPCS Users Click Here
2- Download Return2Stock zip T-Mobile Users Click Here , MetroPCS Users Click Here
3- Reboot to TWRP (Custom Recovery)
4. Flash LG G STYLO BOOTSTACK Zip file
5. Flash LG G STYLO Return 2 Stock Zip file
6. Wipe CACHE and DALVIK
7. Reboot (at this point you no longer have Root and TWRP)

Thank you.
I rooted to gain access to ad block for apps but now with Lollipop the app does not work. So I was thinking of going back to stock. Thanks for your hard work.
Anyone know of a good app that blocks ads?

If I used the one click root method to root my device, can I do re root doing that method again and regain twrp?
Can anyone report how the 10j update is running if it has changed anything for the better or sped up the device I know its for the stagefright patch but there is supposed to be other fixes in it also to speed up things ????

YES, if you flash this Restore Rom or any other rom just follow the right instructions about Root like if you are in 5.1.1 use the LG_LP5.1.1 One Click Root Method in This Thread (Click Here) and follow the instruction for TWRP

about speed i haven't had a performance issue at all since the first 5.1.1 update, so my device still/been snappy since then.
Okay so i updated my phone to the 10j upgrade and also re rooted. Do i need to keep the bootstack zip and the return to stock zip? or can i just delete those zip files?

No need to keep them just do a backup using TWRP to be safe in near tweaks or updates or any mess
I don't have a computer to update to 10j can I use that bootstack.zip with the debloated Rom? Basically can I use that bootstack.zip by itself to update the radio/modem/stagefright?

I tried gametheory's 10j it softbricked my device. I had to use the original LP5.1.1 to get it back. Will flashing your bootstack and v4 debloated together work? I don't have a computer to kdz my way out of it. Will flashing your bootstack put recovery back to stock?
My stock ROM backup is the original 5.0.1 firmware and updated with the LP5.1.1, anything 10j softbricks device and I need to flash the LP update to get it back.

Yes flashing Bootstack+Debloated_v4 work together ,(both are for v10j update)
What you mean anything v10j softbrick?
GT updated the v10j zip a few days ago adding the bootstack+preroot and Is that including my Stock Restore? If you go Stock Restore make sure to have the TWRP img file to flash while still in recovery cuz as soon you leave the recovery without flashing TWRP again youll loose TWRP and need PC to get back...
PS. Wipe Cache+Dalvik after flashing everything.

No, your bootloader will not be locked. There's a setting in developer options called "Enable OEM Unlock" which unlocks the bootloader. There's nothing I wrote in that post that suggests your bootloader will be locked. You will also keep root and twrp if you flash my v10J from that post.

You can flash this TWRP after going back to stock..
twrp-2.8.7.0-10j.img
Found here..
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=33154
TWRP Will flash an image. Just make sure you don't reboot after flashing stock stuff stay in the recovery you won't get back into TWRP if you reboot right away. Also find the supersu zip so you can root.
total noob here
can anyone give me a step by step on how to install stock firmware on the lg ms631 without using twrp? I see threads that say use LG Flash Tool, but it says to select 'CDMA' and this is a GSM phone, so I want to make sure I won't damage it. Thanks for any help you could give me.
Follow those directions, there's nothing wrong with them.
i tried this and ended up in an lg logo bootloop....tried to go into recovery on lg h631 and my only option is a factory reset on this phone... recovery wont even come up..tried that and only get a black screen....it turns off apparently....any help?

No, OTA won't work since you have TWRP, either reinstall stock recovery to install the OTA or install the signed version of the OTA that will work with TWRP. They are all in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/official-cm11s-roms-ota-updates-t2906746

I rooted my Nexus 6P when I purchased however a few months ago, something happened which kind of messed up my root. I can't remember now exactly what it was (maybe I updated OTA) however when I run Root checker, I get the message "Sorry! Root access is not properly installed on this device". Also Titanium Backup complains about my device not being properly rooted.
The strange thing is, my banking apps complain that my device is rooted and don't give me the full functionality
Also, my phone always downloads monthly updates, but I haven't been able to install since around June. It has now downloaded Android 7.1.1 and after trying to install this morning, it just booted into TWRP.
I'm after 2 things..
to have a properly rooted phone again
to have Android 7.1.1 installed
What's the best way for me to achieve this? What's actually happened to my phone? I would like to achieve the above 2 things with zero data loss if possible

If you are talking about stock OTA updates, that doesn't work on rooted devices.
To do stock OTA updates you need to remove root, you need stock recovery instead of custom recovery and you need to have an unmodified system partition.
Flash your stock firmware then update then root again after all updates are installed.

Ok thanks for the reply...
So if I don't want to do the stock update, then how do i fix my root first of all?
After I fix my root - Can i perform an update to 7.1.1 via a non-stock method? ie. download the update somehow and flash via ADB or install via TWRP?

As I said, flash your original stock firmware, then apply any stock updates that you want and THEN root. The 7.1.1 OTA is a stock update.
YOU CAN'T APPLY STOCK UPDATES WHILE YOU ARE ROOTED AND YOU CAN'T DO STOCK UPDATES IN CUSTOM RECOVERY.
Or you can flash stock firmware to fix the device, then install root and custom recovery again and then if you want to flash a CUSTOM 7.1.1 you flash it in recovery but you can't apply the stock 7.1.1.

Thanks... And in both cases, i shouldn't lose my data because my bootloader is unlocked already from when i originally rooted... Is that correct?

I'm not sure about that. Flashing something that upgrades or downgrades bootloader usually wipes data.

Then I rooted my phone and installed superSU using twrp --- That is when the problem began and I can no longer boot into my regular system. Everytime my phone boots it boots into twrp recovery mode -

When you flashed SuperSU, did you wipe cache and dalvik/ART cache in TWRP?
Did you accidentally wipe your system partition? If so, you have no OS to boot into, on this case, you'll have to flash a custom ROM for your model number or a modified TWRP flashable zip of your stock firmware.
If these things don't work then you've corrupted something, are you certain that you unlocked your device correctly? Are you certain that you covered all the bases for rooting your device?

I think I might have corrupted something- In the meantime I flashed the original stock ROM that I got with the device - which was Marshmallow 6.0 but now I can't update back to 7.0. I flashed 6.0 because I couldnt find any official 7.0 ROMS for my Moto g4. Thanks for your response! If you have any idea why I can't update please let me know!

That question is better answered by asking in the G4 forum, I'm not familiar enough with your device hardware/software specifics.
