Is there any way to install the OTA updates on the root device and TWRP without back to stock ROM? I tried flashing the stock recovery.img and remove root in SuperSU app but it didn't work. Thanks

I was rooted on 2.08 and decided to relock and upgrade to 2.17 OTA. I was able to unlock again and install TWRP custom recovery. I flashed Superuser.zip (3.07) from recovery. But it seems I still don't have root access. Not of the rooted apps work. Tried installing busybox from app on the market but says don't have root. Trying to update binary from Superuser app fails. How do I get root access at this point. Should I flash an older Superuser. Thanks.
Did you flash a rooted ROM? If not, that is likely your problem.

I'm on stock ROM right now. I flashed a different version of superuser which worked. That was my problem. I have root access now.
I have the stock ROM MM, rooted, with TWRP recovery.
Is there an app that can flash the stock recovery and then flash back TWRP recovery? I'd like to be able to install OTA updates without a PC.

The problem would be after the OTA is installed you will not have root and all the apps that can flash recovery require root
at some point you need fastboot
You can keep the TWRP in eRecovery and Stock Recovery in main recovery partition, so you'll have dual recoveries.
Will i get OTA updates if I flash Supersu through ADB and do not install any custom recovery? Will Supersu work properly?
I have a Moto E 2015 XT1526 with an unlocked bootloader, and TWRP. After trying many roms I finally settled on the stock rom in the interest of having a reliable phone.
The stock rom I flashed isn't the latest so I get the update nag, what happens if I update using this?
I don't mind if it deletes TWRP or kills root I am just worried it will brick the device.
Don't install a stock ota update if you have TWRP... Device will hard brick!
Some users reported that if you want to get ota updates you had to (if i remember):
- Unroot phone and remove all mods
- Install stock recovery
-Get and install ota
Aftee this you can re-install TWRP and other mods.

Heard the same and personally wouldn't risk it.
How can I flash an ota update when my phone is rooted and using twrp ?
Flash stock boot.img then apply ota
