Hello. I am running the 4.3 stock rooted rom, Sense 5, S-off with TWRP recovery. I know I need to flash a stock recovery to apply the OTA, but will it install ok if I have deleted some of the preinstalled apps that I didn't need? I also removed Carrier IQ. I also have Xposed Framework installed. Will this prevent the OTA from installing? Thanks for any help!
shouldnt hinder your updating ability. if it does just manually boot flash from STOCK recovery.

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.
Will rooting my A311 or installing a custom recovery prevent future OTA Updates??
If yes, then how can I backup my stock recovery??
You can still get OTA updates after rooting a phone unless you install a custom rom.
There is no reason to backup your stock recovery and isn't possible.
You need to backup your stock rom before installing a custom rom and that can be done by installing a custom recovery like CWM or TWRP after rooting your phone.
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?
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
