I recently flashed the firmware N915GXXU1DPG2, installed twrp and rooted the device,
now out of the blue, I got a firmware update but I can't install it because of the custom recovery,
Is there a way to install this update with a custom recovery installed? trough an app maybe?
I searched around a bit but the only solution I found is starting from scratch, means flash the stock ROM
to get stock recovery....

Hey guys, I've seen this issue before yet I've tried everything in a few threads now but have no idea what is happening,I have tried using search function yet no solution has fixed my problem.
Problem:
When installing custom ROMs the installation goes fine. I put the ROM on the sdcard, follow instructions for flashing e.g wipe data/cache etc and then flash GAPPS. However I get stuck on the boot logo of every ROM. I've tried both TWRP and CWM recoveries, both with no luck. Also tried not flashing GAPPS and just trying to flash the ROM to no avail.
Current state of phone:
The phone is currently running stock firmware via downloading factory image and flashing in boot-loader : stock boot, recovery, system image etc
The phone works fine when rooted on stock firmware. E.g no custom rom yet rooted.
Could really do with some help guys, any ideas?

same problem simple solution another user informed me of.
simply donwgrade to 4.3 JB stock rom through fastboot. Then you are able to flash a custm rom from the 4.3 stock rom.
Its crazy i have to do this but it worked for me, now im running the xperience rom which is a rom based on 4.4.2 kk.
the 4.3 android stock firmwares are linked somewhere in the FAQ's as well as the guide to ffastboot lash it.
peace.

Hey man, worked a charm thanks!
For users who may have the same problem:
After flashing 4.3 onto the device it did NOT boot.
- However I then went into the bootloader flashed custom recovery, I used cwm.
- Then I went into recovery, used adb to push the rom and gapps onto sdcard
- Full wipe and then installed rom. Then installed gapps
Working fine.
Cheers chairsz :good::good:

You could try extracting the boot.img from you custom rom, placing it in your adb folder, then flash the boot image all by itself with TWRP. That has pulled me out of bootloops....
Hi All,
Background:
Installed TWRP recovery to downgrade to KitKat from Android ver 5.0.2 / COS 12.0 YNg1TAS17L
( I guess the changes in lollipop made me to do so).
But after installing TWRP, for some reason or other I did nothing and now the issue is the OTA are not getting installed. From other similar thread I know that we can download the OTA zip and install through TWRP and I am not looking to get into that...as I am giving this device to my family.
Help Required:
1) Is there a way to uninstall TWRP and go back to stock recovery without losing any data?
( Is it as simple as flashing recovery image from the Stock ROM?)
2) Using the OnePlus tool kit can we flash the stock ROM which will also restore the stock recovery?
(If so is it possible to flash the latest ROM 5.1.1 or CM12.1)
I just need guidance here with steps on what will be the best and safe approach without frying up my device.
Please suggest

Numerous other threads on the same subject... I don't understand why you are not ready to flash the OTA through TWRP but you are through stock recovery... It's the same thing... Don't use toolkit, they are the ones, in 99% of the cases, that "fry" your phone... As soon as TWRP is installed no OTA will automatically, you will have to flash them manually.
I was on a custom build of android 6 and had twrp and then I got an update and installed it. Now I have lost TWRP... Is that even possible? Also when in recovery it says can't mount sdcard!
Was it a custom ROM based on stock 6.0? If it is, it's possible that the update was pushed to the phone because Google sees the phone as running a stock ROM and only a stock recovery can install a stock recovery.
What I don't get is how and why users running custom roms receive and accept stock OTA notification updates.
If you had twrp installed, then the OTA would not install - it would fail.
Gents,
funny question.
I just installed by Odin the very last firmware (COI1) with custom image from here, and
looks like it is locked and now I stuck with the stock ROM...
No chance to put back TWRP...
Before everything was fine.
I tried bootloader from this post, no luck.
Any advice how to get TWRP back or just how to revert to custom image?..
You could just flash TWRP via odin by downloading a flashable zip and to install custom software you'll have to install TWRP or any other custom recovery first. After installing twrp go to install and flash the rom from there. Reply and will help you further!
That's the exact problem: after Odin I still don't have TWRP...
