So I sold my Tablet Z to my dad....not thinking of the fact that twrp is still installed. The tablet keeps notifying my dad of a new update but everytime he wants to install it, the tablet starts downloading, then reboots only to enter twrp. If I reboot Android is started again and no update has taken place. How can I install that update?

stock doesn't work with TWRP.
Ok, is it possible to flash only the stock bootloader?

I have rooted HTC One, I noticed a new software update was released by AT&T, and I wondered if it I updated it, would my root be gone? I tried to update it and after downloading the update, my phone restarted and booted into TWRP recovery and I rebooted and there was no update installed. Are any rooted HTC One users experiencing the same problem? What should I do, should i just forget about the OTA updates?

Anytime you root the phone it changes the stock recovery so when the OTA tries to run it fails because the recovery needed to do it is the stock one. Just wait for someone to post a updated ota that works with twrp.
For the most part, updates will be baked into roms so you won't need to take the OTA

On top of stock recovery, you need to have all stock apps present on the phone. They can be frozen, but they must be there. The first thing any official OTA does it check the signatures of all .apks it expects to find on the device--if any are missing, the update will abort. I learned today that when you unlock your bootloader, several HTC-specific applications are automatically deleted from the phone and this will prevent the phone from accepting the OTA. You'll need to either A) replace those apks, or B) flash a stock NAND backup, flash stock recovery, do the update, then re-flash custom recovery and continue on from there.

I installed it and it worked great. I have a unlocked bootloader but I am not rooted.
AT&T update file name and location?
Same experience. If I knew the location and file downloaded through AT&T Software Update, perhaps I could install it through TWRP. Anyone know? Tried?

Please...a little advice
Many thanks for all your help.
One question:
I have an HTC One (ATT) - SW Ver 1.26.502.10, bootloader unlocked, rooted, bloatware erased.
If I flash CM 10.1 - does this include the latest OTA update.
Many thanks
Hey, so I received and update for my att HTC one, it's already rooted I froze and removed some bloatware apps, it has an elemental x kernal on it, and clockworkmod touch, so the update finished downloading and we are now at recovery. I click yes to install it. I let it run for a good ten minutes and when I came back it was stuck on tool fix 01something of that sort..so I rebooted my phone and it was still on the previous software number 1.26.502.10. My question is, what must I do first so I can have a clean OTA Update without it getting stuck because I want a clean 4.2.2 installation when it comes out.

lock bootloader and run the RUU for 1.26.xx.12
most hassle free way.

Thanks I'm downloading it now. Will this Gove me stock recovery and the stock kernel?
Yes indeed you will be completely stock. Be aware that this will also wipe your phone.
I recently purchased the GSM Moto G and unlocked the bootloader/rooted my device. The phone is running 4.3 android, but I want to install the latest 4.2.2 kitkat. I can download the software directly from the phone through the system updates menu in the settings. However, when I try downloading it, it says that the device must restart to install. When restarting, the phone loads up in the bootloader menu and never installs the update. Every time I try starting up my phone now, it automatically tries to install the update by restarting the device and loading up into the bootloader again. I can no longer use my phone now because it continues to restart the device. I do I install 4.2.2 if I've already unlocked the bootloader? Thanks in advance.

Hello my friend! I don't have a Motorola myself but i did my best to do some research. First thing you want to know is that if you can download OTA update (the updates from your manufacture) you don't need to have an unlocked bootloader and some manufactures stop giving you OTA updates if you are rooted (Idk about Motorola but Samsung, Lg do this). You want to unlock your bootloader if you want to flash a custom Recovery and later install Custom ROM not when you want manufacture update. Here is a tutorial on how to flash your MOTO G to the last 4.4.2 using ADB. When you download the firmware be sure to download the good one. Good luck.

Can I simply flash a 4.4.2 firmware or must I flash a 4.3 version and download OTA update from my device?

You can just flash 4.4.2 from start so you don't need to update from 4.3. There is no problem my friend. Good luck.
Has anyone figured out how to apply this update on a rooted device running "official" ROM? For me the update downloads and reboots to recovery (twrp in my case). The update is not applied.
Thoughts?

you need stock recovery, also i think (not completely sure about this) you have to unroot and maybe even relock your bootloader in order to apply the update.

My phone is completely stock and I still can't download this update. Maybe because I live in Europe... This is awful.

you said, you've got TWRP recovery installed, so your phone's bootloader is definitely unlocked and you've got a custom recovery installed. The update only works if /system partition is completely stock, you've got stock recovery and your bootloader is (re-)locked.
if anything doesn't match your phones CID, the update won't install.
I did not say that. tmknight did.
I have this phone with an AT&T IMEI from China, but the ROM is not from AT&T, I guess its the Erupean version or somenthing... it came unlocked for any GSM company and thats why i bought it... I also know that the bootloades is locked.
I cant update it with the official AT&T ROM cause it does not find it... Im stuck in its Android 4.1.1 slow version, and I see many bugs on it.
Can anyone help me? PLEAAAASSSEEEEE!!!!

Have you done ANY modification of the system files (freezing) or did you bump (install TWRP)? If you installed TWRP, you cannot take OTAs and install them. You must be on the stock recovery.

Actually i managed to fix it myself had to go through a long 2 hour factory reset and reflashing using the flash tool just to get the update to work. But thanks for replying :good::fingers-crossed:
