I am trying to OTA 5.0 (LRX21L) -> 5.0 (LRX21R) but when I use adb to push it through it gives an error saying there is an unexpected difference between my version and the OTA file. Is it the recovery? I am rooted is that preventing the OTA from installing correctly?

So if I use WugFresh to flash the stock recovery then it might work?

Since you are rooted and have an unlocked bootloader, why don't you just flash the stock images and root again? And yes, being rooted prevents you from recieving OTA upadates.

I had flashed stock recovery from this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2568799 but after i finished i can't enter to stock recovery. It show me red triangle error sign and stop. I think because of i flashed different version of recovery. Right? If so how do i get 1.23.707.1 stock recovery or how can i upgrade 1.54.401.1? Any idea for this problem please?
Here is my processing step...
1. When i get ota update, unlock bootloader
2. Then flash stock recovery from above link.
3. Lock bootloader
4. My device is still rooted and i download ota update. Then i install.
5. Device restart and start loading but may be round about 20% it start show me red triangle and stop processing.
Here is my device version

Well your first problem is that the Bootloader has to be locked for the OTA update to take affect. Make sure you have Stock Kernel, Rom and Recovery Installed.

Is there anyway to run the update from Verizon on TWRP? Every time it tries to update it reboots into the custom recovery. I know the file for the update is on the phone. Does anybody have the name of it or how to run it?

If you want to take the OTA you need to revert back to stock recovery.
There is a ROM that is pretty much the same as the 4.4.2 OTA in the development section that can be flashed via TWRP
Hey if you want PM me and I'll help you revert back to stock with keeping your root and updating to KitKat and getting your recovery back. There is no way at all to use the Verizon OTA with a custom recovery.. It is rebooting to TWRP because by default when flashing the OTA it is meant to boot to your stock recovery which is designed to flash carrier updates. When it hits TWRP it fails because it sees that its not the stock recovery. You need to either fastboot back the stock recovery which is in Flyhalfs recovery thread or you need to RUU.. But in any event I'm here if you want some solid help and I can get it done quickly for you...

You are old partition. You can only flash ROMs built for that. Also, you are S-on, so if the ROM you're trying to flash is not sense based with a kernel installer, you will have to extract the boot img and flash via fastboot or flash img GUI or flashify. Otherwise, relock your bootloader, run the .4 RUU and reobtain root and reinstall custom recovery and get S-off to flash new partition ROMs.
Edit:
Consider getting S-off first. Makes life easier.

Yea, I was going to try getting S-off first. I just don't know how that would go without an OS. I also extracted the boot img, and it still didn't work. Where would I find the RUU? Is it that shipped-roms website?

Just download the .4 RUU to a (preferably Windows 7) PC and make sure you have all updated drivers installed (may require latest HTC sync manager). Connect your phone via USB and double click the exe file and follow onscreen instructions. Some more info here:

Finally got a chance to download the ruu. It worked, my phone is running again, thanks for your help.
Everytime I follow the directions to install a custom recovery, via the TWRP app, it always soft bricks my phone. I've tried the Loki method and that gives me errors. I'm rooted, I just want to be able to install a lollipop rom :'(
Do you have an mdk boot loader?
Sent from my SCH-I545 using XDA Free mobile app
Yeah, Triscuit is right. If you aren't using an MDK bootloader, you can't flash a custom recovery (i.e. TWRP, ClockworkMod). Without a custom recovery, you also cannot flash most custom ROMs (such as Cyanogenmod). I found this out the hard way after a week of blood/sweat/tears trying to flash CM12 on the NC5 bootloader.

He's right and I'll add that it is very easy to hard brick your phone flashing a wrong recovery.

That link does help, but I was wondering if I can run all them commands without running the recovery command? That way I have the stock rom and kernel but keep the custom recovery.
Sent from my Nexus 9 using XDA Free mobile app
You can run any one of them you want. I'd recommend you only flash the system, cache and boot images. You'll have to re-root by flashing supersu in your custom recovery, hope it's Twrp, cwm is poorly supported.
