[Q] How to update to Lollipop using TWRP - LG G Watch

As the heading says, I need help installing lollipop using TWRP, sideloading the .zip fails every time. Any suggestions, it would be nice to install this update as it doesn't seem to be coming as an OTA any time soon for me. Thanks.

Well, the OTA came in this morning and saved the day. I reflashed stock recovery just in case, so it wouldn't brick like my G3 did when I tried to install an OTA. I then rebooted after flahing stock and installed the update. All is well.

Glad you got it working, it would seem that you need stock recovery to flash the OTA as the TWRP recovery causes the ZIP's version check asserts to fail. So you wouldn't have bricked, it just wouldn't have installed for you.

Updating while rooted?

Hello, my nexus 9 is running 5.0.1 currently, I've been looking at the update for 5.0.2 for a week or so now and cannot install it because I have a custom recovery installed (twrp). Each time I tried to install the update it goes to reboot and nothing happens. Is there a way I can update with this recovery installed? Or do I need to install the stock one?
Thanks in advance!

You can fastboot flash the individual files from the factory image. Go here >http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-9/general/guide-how-to-unlock-bootloader-flash-t3035153

Flash, bootloader, system, and boot images with fastboot. I'd recommend 5.1.1. Google nexus factory image.

Hey guys, thanks for the responses.
I ended up flashing the 5.1.1 factory image late last night. I wasn't able to use the quick version using the flash all .bat script. I had to flash each part individually. Everything seems to have worked, my tablet reports 5.1.1 is the current version. The only thing that worries me is that all my data is still there, it doesn't seem like it wiped the device. Is this expected?

Yes, I noted the same thing when fastboot flashing the 5.1.1 factory image. And the flash_all does not work on Lollipop. Not on the Nexus 9, and not on the Nexus 6 either. FWIW.

How to update OTA with TWRP installed

I rooted and installed TWRP recovery. I want to update my stock rom with the OTA update. The update is downloaded to my phone, but won't update, re-boots and goes into TWRP. I think I need to first install a stock recovery, but I can't find one. If I find the stock recovery will that allow me to update OTA.

As long as you haven't modified your rom you should be able to take the OTA with a STOCK recovery. You can find them here.
Also you might want to unroot before taking the OTA then reroot afterwards.
Got the ota and clicked install by mistake with stock recovery and root. It failed and had to do a battery pull to get it to boot. So yeah I'd unroot just in case.
I unrooted and installed stock recovery, but update failed?

Cannot update to oxygen os 2.2.1

I download the system update for OnePlus x oxygen os 2.2.1. But when I reboot it for installation, there's a message "installation failed". What's wrong with the file? It seems to download everything properly. But error occurs during installation.

What have you already modded in the original installation? If your system was stock the update wouldn't fail. Please be more specific so people can help you. If you've kingrooted or flashed twrp, the update will fail...
I don't know about the OP, but I had the same issue when I tried to OTA to OOS 2.2.1. I applied all my hacks through TWRP but always booting TWRP by ADB and never flashing TWRP to the phone. So, I have unlocked bootloader, Developer settings, stock recovery, Boeffla, CameraHAL. With this, OOS 2.2.1 OTA gave me "installation failed". Shouldn't it have worked since I was still in stock recovery?
Thinking it could be the kernel I then tried to restore the original kernel by going to a TWRP backup I made immediately before flashing Boeffla, and restoring boot.img. To my surprise, I then lost all Wi-Fi functionality.
In the end, I downloaded the full OOS 2.2.1 ROM from OnePlus and dirty-flashed it, stacking it before the newest versions of Boeffla and CameraHAL. Phone is working OK, no bugs noticed so far.
I still haven't flashed TWRP nor rooted the phone. In my configuration, what's stopping OTA from working? It would be nice to have OOS3 OTA, since I still don't trust the backups I'm making.

If you modify even a single bit in stock rom and revert back, updates are definitely going to fail.
The only solution to receive OTAs is flashing stock recovery with stock rom with locked bootloader.
Or you can manually flash OTAs using TWRP.
I made several backups of my stock rom before testing mods, but when I restored and tried to perform OTAs, it always failed while installing.

You just need to wipe cache from the stock recovery in order to install the ota updates , customer care babe told me

Hello guys, I unlocked my bootloader...now would I get the ota updates? It's not rooted and on stock ROM.
If no then please tell me how to revert back to locked bootloader.

I have tried wipe cache method and doesn't works at all if you have rooted your phone and unrooted back.
And the OTA should work even with unlocked bootloader, if you have not rooted your phone before.
If you want to lock your bootloader again, just follow these steps,
1. Goto Settings -> Developer options
2. OEM unlocking -> turn it off
Error in installation of OxygenOS2.2.1
Having same issue, I doubt why it is not getting installed. Not rooted and not even touchted the kernel. Is it a bug or it requires a flash ?

d003 update on rooted phone

Is there a way to install the d003 ota update from TWRP on a rooted 5x KIW-L24 running B331? The updater pops up every time I boot up, but that method fails. Could it be because I used that script to remove stuff preinstalled on my phone?

It would not update on mine with stock rom and twrp recovery. I think you need to go stock recovery and then update. You can reflash custom recovery and root once it's done. The D003 update definitely took care of my horrible GPS accuracy and fix.
cheers
I flashed the stock b331 recovery. Restored a b331 nandroid. Tried to ota, failed. Dowloaded the full image and did the dload folder reboot to stock recovery method. Fails out at 5%. Tried flashing the update.zip through twrp, fails. tried the newest b331 recovery from the repo, tried to dload folder again. fails... HELP!!!!! please?

I used the stock b331 plus stock recovery zip (July 31?) provided in the how to return to stock thread and did a factory reset before boot. It sounds like you still had a custom recovery. That will not work.
You need to be complete stock to be able to install an OTA. It's because it's a file patcher, if files are missing, or modified, it will fail.
That worked !!! Thanks a bunch. Nandroiding a fresh reset for future flubs.
Good !

Should I update 10d (rooted)

Hi, I saw about the quad rooter issue, and today I checked the ota update. (I never had an ota update because I always been rooted, s3, s5 and g5)
But now it purpose the 10d update. (450mo)
I'm 10c h850 rooted.
Should I make this update?
Will I lose root? (Rooted via twrp super su)
If I have to re install everything (apps, datas, root), maybe should I wait for 7 nougat don't you think?
Thanks.

It won't install the update anyway with twrp installed. It'll just fail and reboot. Wait until your ROM devs rebase your ROM on the new base.
Thanks, it was stock rom. But yeah I don't think it's worth if I make a fresh install with android 7.
As you said I'm affraid about the bootloop issue.

Not bootloop, just because you have custom recovery installed the stock update process will not complete even on stock Rom, you'd need to wait for a flashable version of the update or you'd have to flash stock recovery back to your device first.
I just used LGUP without any issues. Pretty painless.
Then flashed TWRP again, and flashed my ROM of choice.
The only tricky part was quickly getting into TWRP after you flash TWRP. It reboots and if you're not quick enough, TWRP will be overridden by the stock recovery. Then you just need to repeat (flash TWRP again, get into TWRP and flash ROM).
