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?

I have received the OTA update for my stock rooted 4.3 device. When I tell the system to update, it reboots into recovery, which for me is TWRP. If I go to "install" it defaults to the sdcard/downloads folder and there is a file there called: ota_M7_UL_SENSE55-MR_TMOUS_4.19.531.10-3.24.531.3_release_351678 If I choose to "install" this, there's a bunch of error messages, first with "unable to locate zip" (references a specific file), followed by an "assert failed" and the "error executing update binary..."
I will assume that this is because of the fact that I'm rooted and have TWRP.
It's important for me to be stock (I need the TM WiFi calling) and I want to retain root. Given that, how can I update to Kit Kat?
You'll have to flash back to stock recovery and redo the OTA (or, if you know where the OTA file is on your device, boot into stock recovery and select that file for the update).
You will most likely loose root, but it's easy enough to reflash TWRP and superuser to get root back, I would imagine.

I found and flashed a stock recovery and then reran the OTA update. It appeared to have gone all the way through the process. When I reboot the device I get a pink screen that blinks with white dashes, and it does get to an HTC One splash screen with a blue beats audio icon (different than in 4.3). It never gets passed there.
I am able to adb and fastboot at that screen, so I was able to reflash TWRP, and tried rebooting, but get stuck at the same spot. I had done a TWRP backup a couple weeks ago, so I restored that so that at least I'm functional again.
Any advice on how to get 4.4 on this device?
When I was unlocked and rooted on 4.3 I relocked the bootloader, ran the 4.3 RUU and was able to get the OTA update then re-unlock and re-root
Basically, I did the same thing gwingzero said he did in this post

You will likely have it fail. OTAs frequently check the /system directory to make sure the expected files are there prior to update. OTAs will likely not flash on a custom rocovery as the firmware portion will not flash from that. Your best bet.. S-off now.... flash stock... take OTA. Then flash TWRP back and flash your custom rom of choice. That will allow you to upgrade to the latest firmware and still run a jelly bean rom. On that custom rom you will still get a nag to update the OS but you can find ways to disable that until the developer updates his rom.
IF you simply wait for him to update his rom, you will still need to manually update the fimware in RUU.
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.
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 !

You are welcome
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 .
OTA Update

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
