[Q] Got my OTA update, but stuck in CWM recovery

Just got my OTA update notification this morning. Try accepting the update and the phone rebooted. Instead of installing the update I ended up in the CWM recovery menu.
Any idea how to move forward with the update? I tried looking for an update file and the update from update.zip options, but still no go.

You need stock recovery to install a OEM update whether it's OTA or manually with update.zip.

You need to flash the stock firmware with odin.

You will need to flash this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1319830stock recovery with Odin. Or, since you would be using Odin you might aswell flash the whole KL1 package herehttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1391174. Either way your only way out is with Odin.

Root + Original Bootloader

To root the phone I had to install CWM as the bootloader and then run a zip file to obtain root.
Because I installed a custom bootloader, I can't receive OTA updates anymore so I can't get the S3 Premium Suite update.
How can I revert to the original bootloader and maintain my root? Can I just flash the original bootloader with Odin?
Any advice would be appreciated.

No you installed a custom recovery not a boot loader.
Because you installed a custom ROM you can't get updates
To get the original RECOVERY you need to flash a stock ROM thru Odin, and to update anything stock you need to remove root to get any Kies updates or else youll get errors.
And even so I don't think the ATT S3 has had the update to Premium Suite.
(Anyone can correct me on this one)
I think only international S3 has been updated to Premium suite

you are correct on all this, jayRokk.
OP, there is an unroot video guide near the bottom of post #2 in the link in my thread. the stock, unrooted firmware can be located in the android development section.

[Q] Upgrade to 4.4.3 from Stock 4.4.2 with TWRP Recovery

I am S-ON and looking to upgrade from stock 4.4.2 to 4.4.3 but have TWRP recovery. Can anyone recommend the easiest way to do this? I keep getting the OTA system update prompt, which I downloaded, would I be able to just flash that zip using TWRP? Thanks

You need stock recovery, not TWRP.

So the easiest way would just be flash stock recovery, then do the OTA update

Yes, but if it doesn't work, you'll need to flash a stock ROM. Some apps are removed when you unlock at that makes the OTA fail.

Is it possible to flash LGH815AT-V20b-26 (12.22.2015) dlpkgfile file using TWRP?

I received an OTA update notification this morning for LGH815AT-V20b-26 however the OTA flash mechanism wont work because I am rooted and not on stock recovery.
Is it safe to flash the dlpkgfile package using TWRP and do I need to unroot first?

OTA for rooted stock

I'm using rooted stock ROM, tried a few GSI but none of them had working NFC which I use a lot.
Anyway have had the update software thing flashing at me for some weeks now, would like to upgrade to the latest OTA.
Obviously the OTA doesn't work on unlocked bootloader.
How can I update my software? If I flash just System in fastboot will that work? Or is there some way to make the OTA work or convert the OTA into a flashable zip?
Thanks.

You can use ota update with unlocked bootloader, just root is an issue.
I would use LMSA'S Flash Rescue option
It will flash newer firmware and the you can reroot.

Or you can flash with fastboot or mfastboot
https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/rooting-roms/guide-flashing-motorola-firmware-t4042039
Still will need to reroot
