OTA updates after rooting.

Some questions.
Is it possible to do OTA update when available while rooted?
If not, will just unrooting via supersu unroot option be sufficient to update an OTA update? Or must custom recovery be removed and stock recovery restored?
If so, has HTC made the stock recovery image/files and stock Rom available?
Are there any toolkits that can help with this rooting, unrooting for HTC 816?

Sent from my HTC Desire 616 dual sim using XDA Free mobile app

No.. my friend.. but i'm trying to.
There are numerous methods on youtube to install CWM on to this device.
Xposed framework can only be installed with a working CWM.. I will update it as soon as i find something usefull.

Stuck In Bootloop, Any help Appreciated!!
Hello there, I got this phone a couple of days ago, today i rooted it and without doing any research and without taking a backup, installed the Xposed Framework. My phone is UNUSABLE as of now. If you're wondering why, its because HTC Desire 616 dual sim uses a Mediatek MT6592 Chipset which is incompatible with Xposed. Know more here
I tried Flashing the Xposed-Disabler-Recovery.zip via SD card & via ADB but for some reason both of them failed with "Installation Aborted". This is very very very irritiating.
Options I have:
1) Use CWM or any other NON-Stock Recovery Tool to flash the Xposed-Disabler-Recovery.zip
2) Flash the Stock Rom again.
These are the problems::
1) We dont have CWM for our phone.
=> But there is some hope. They claim to have a tool to create CWM for our chipset if we have a rooted phone. Now i cant do it beacause my phone is not working But YOU CAN TRY. If it works please upload the flashable zip. I will be very very thankful.
2) The STOCK ROM for HTC DESIRE 616 DUAL SIM is not available anywhere on the internet.
=> If you can take a couple minutes to backup your STOCK ROM using recovery and upload it anywhere on the internet and share the link, things can get back to normal for me. I'm really not happy using a basic NOKIA phone now.
Don't know how to take a backup using Android Stock Recovery?
i)Switch Off your phone.
ii) Press VOLUME_DOWN & Power Button simultaneously for a few seconds till you see the screen.
iii) Press VOLUME_DOWN key till '<<==' is in front of [Recovery Mode]
iv) Press VOLUME_UP to enter ANDROID SYSTEM RECOVERY <3e>
v)Now press VOLUME_DOWN key till backup user data is highlighted.
vi) Press Power button to take a backup
Make sure you have enough space on your sd card for the backup.
Let me know if you need any help for you to help me!!
Cheers and Thanks a Lot.

Hah.. i know how to take backup my friend.

Firstly thanks a lot for replying this fast. I wanted to see if i could use some other recovery to flash the Xposed disabler zip to not lose all the present apps/etc. I didnt think factory resetting would help the issue because the framework made changes in system files. But i'll check it now. In that case you wont have to upload the Backup. But then again somebody else might ask it some other day, so it'll still be useful.
Cheers!

Nothing help u there. Unless somehow u can disable the signature verification..
I have tried a lot. But no luck.

This method helps create CWM for MTK devices but the phone should be rooted for it to work
This tool is also very helpful, it can do many things one of which is change the default recovery.
You can follow the video on this page

Now its just a matter of time before one of us does it.!
Make sure to backup the stock rom and recovery

Use MTK DROID TOOL instead of CWM MAGIC. :thumbup:
Note: there a new system update aired for HTC 616. so, make sure to update before anything u do.
And the cwm installation process will take 30 - 45 minutes. :banghead:

Flash a stock ROM file
Steps
Download the ROM according to your country (google it)
Download FASTBOOT
Note: In normal fastboot, fastboot flash zip will give error, So download normal fastboot and also htc_fastboot from https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95897840722646249
And paste the htc_fastboot.exe in your fastboot folder
And use this command:
htc_fastboot flash zip ROM.zip
Hope it helps
