I have a recently purchased T700 that I haven't rooted yet. Sounds like the Lollipop OTA is coming soon and I'm trying to figure out if I should wait to root after the update appears. Does anybody know a good way to take the OTA if you have a rooted device with custom recovery?

Hi you will not be able to take the OTA update if you have custom recovery you will have to use Odin to update.
Hi Guys.
Today, the lollipop update for the desire 816 got released and so I want to go back to stock and install the OTA.
I rooted my phone using this method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2775801
I installed some custom roms but wanted to go back to the original software with root so I put this rom backup on my phone:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/desire-816/general/rom-backup-htc-desire-816-single-sim-4g-t2890824
Today , I got a message about an OTA update with version "1.60.707.3"
I wanted to install it, but get this error:

I have the same issue. This is because you have the firmware for other regions. I like taiwan version and I can not find the drain firmware.
Hey,
As the tittle says I can't update to lollipop when I go to update centre it says I am running the latest version when it is still 4.4.2, to make matters worse I can't root my G3 and install lollipop via a ROM I haven't tried with purpledrake yet but with both towel and stump root it says my phone isn't supported when I know it is because I had it rooted before and unrooted it to try get the lollipop update.
Any help?

@Harp00ner, just get hold of the appropriate LP firmware for your phone model and use the flash tool to update it. You can subsequently root your phone.. There are quite a few tools around for that.

If we update to marshmallow will she loose root. It's an OTA update
As far as I know if you try to do OTA update with rooted phone it won't work. You may need to flash the update in TWRP and re-root

Your phone will stuck at boot screen. It is possible that recovery won't work and you will only have the choice to flash a kd or tot file to get phone working again.. So before getting update first do unroot....
Hi my friends, I am looking for a STOCK RECOVERY for my LG G Pad F 8.0 AT&T (V495). I was trying to do an OTA upgrade to 6 but after the Download and restart the installation is giving me an error because i am ROOTED. I need to flash stock recovery to be able to install new OTA upgrade to Marshmallow 6. Is someone have a 5.0.2 STOCK Recovery or maybe another idea on how can I do and upgrade to Marshmallow 6 I will appreciate any help. Thanks
Is there a KDZ or TOT available for your variant?
I am in the same boat. I can not find the stock rom anywhere. I would like to upgrade to to 6.0. I am rooted with king root. If the stock rom is not found is there a way to unroot and delete all root files so the update does not detect the root so we can update?

In order to take OTAs (starting with Lollipop) you have to never have been rooted (since the most recent time you've flashed a KDZ or TOT).
Unrooting isn't enough.
