What is the perfect way to get a Lenovo a7000 firmware updates on a rooted phone? I recently unrooted my Lenovo a7000 which had a maxritz cwm recovery installed. I installed stock recovery on it. Then while installing update my phone rebooted and I got the following error.

I messed up my phone big time when I fetched the update using OTA snatcher and tried to force install it using TWRP and bricked my device. However things are normal now after I wiped off my phone and installed stock ROM. I am getting update alerts now and want a fool proof way to install OTA updates. Please advise. I have xposed installed too with gravity box and youtube adaway modules.

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.
Hello,
I had rooted my Lenovo P70-A (S129) and have installed custom recovery. Also deleted Google apps that I don't use. I couldn't update my forehead after that. I had twrp backup of original firmware, I restored that (this brought back Google apps), unrooted my phone using universal unroot, and flashed stock recovery (download from a Russian forum), even now update fails. Can someone help me sort out the problem? I need it badly.
Best Regards,
Abid
I have my lenovo a7000 phone rooted. Whenever I try to update my phone, it gets updated. But whenever I check for new update, the system update app shows the same update which was downloaded earlier available for download. I do the update again and then I get the same screen. Why is my phone not getting updated? I have a custom CMW recovery installed. Should I install the stock recovery?
I did an unroot of my lenovo a7000, installed the stock recovery, then tried to update my phone right now through OTA. Unfotunately , I am getting update failed error as soon as my lenovo phone reboots. What should I do?
Hi,
I've previously rooted my tablet and recently unrooted and factory reset. I was excited to see that Sony are finally pushing out a Marshmallow update and tried to do the update, but when the tablet resets during the update installation it keeps just going to TWRP recovery page.
So - I have a feeling the tablet wants to get to its stock recovery as part of the install, but I don't know how to revert from TWRP back to whatever the Xperia z2 tablet stock recovery is... I guess I don't have any idea whether that's even the problem.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.
You would have to flash a stock FTF with flash tool. Easier solution though, download one of the pre rooted MM ROMs from the General section and just flash it with TWRP. Then you can have rooted MM.

Currently I'm on Global rom 8.1.2.0 ROOTED with SuperSU and Xposed Framework ..
Lately, update of 8.1.3.0 has been rolled out,
so I would like to update my device..
Since ROOTED device does not receive OTA update, I like to UNROOT first and then root it again after update..
Anyone cares to help me in this case?
I need a guide to fully unroot and remove the xposed framework so OTA update can be achieve..
Thanks all
I think just Reflash your MIUI room . then dont root it .
Or if you have SuperSU . i think it have option to "Full Unroot" .
You can't manually download it and update through updater app? It should restart with twrp instead of stock recovery and install the new version i guess

I dont see anyone uploaded the OTA file for 8.1.3.0 from 8.1.2.0 around 200MB..
moreover, I heard people said the OTA file only can be flashed using stock recovery & non-rooted device. if rooted you will fail .

Absolutely correct, you must never update OTA with Custom recovery. This will lead to a bricked phone and you'll then have to clean flash the stock rom(Erases Internal Storage). Unfortunately, I learned the hard-way and landed-up losing all the data in my Internal Storage.

You can very well uninstall Xposed and full-unroot SuperSU, however, I'm not sure whether it will be needed.
I would suggest taking a FULL NANDROID backup including Internal Storage and then performing the following steps (at your own risk):
Perform full-unroot from SuperSU app
Uninstall Xposed from TWRP
Flash stock recovery from TWRP
Update OTA from Updater App
Flash TWRP
Flash Xposed & SuperSU from TWRP
Btw, how did you get OTA update for 8.1.3.0 when its still not listed in the website?
Even if the ota is downloaded in .zip format? I remember a xiaomi forum where the op explained that he updated his Rom with twrp using updater app without issue. I must say he didn't downloaded via updater app but on a dedicated thread and then selected the Rom in the updater app menu.
Sorry if my guess was a Bad Idea and can lead to soft brick !!
i have just used the twrp recovery to get the full root
