Cannot install updates due to recovery change

So, I got notification saying the new update is ready, I downloaded it clicked OK, rebooted the phone and said entering the recovery but it went directly to TWRP recovery ( previously I have unlocked bootloader and rooted my system and installed custom recovery)
So my question is how do I install this latest update ?

Not wanting to hijack the OP, but I'm trying to install update version 3.28.401.6 on an unlocked UK M8 and I'm in the exact same boat. I heard that the stock recovery for the M8 is different for different providers, so not sure now feasible it is to restore stock recovery to receive the OTA, then go back to TWRP. Is there a way to manually install the update using TWRP?

So you title the thread with your own solution as well. "Cannot install update due to recovery change..." How do I install this update? "
Obviously it would mean you have to have stock recovery, not twrp.

Flash a stock recovery, reboot, install OTA update. Custom recovery can then be reflashed after the update

Is there any way to install the eye update from twrp itself ?
This is an update file right, like zip where we can flash from twrp ?
The thing is I cannot find the stock recovery for my model 2.23.118.3
Edit : Found stock recovery of my phone
Huge thanks to @vm54 fore uploading it

If flashing stock recovery is too much of a hassle perhaps you shouldn't have started flashing in the first place, yes?
You won't be able to do OTA over TWRP, even the TWRP developers said as much.
Official Updates and TWRP
Excerpt: Installing official updates from your manufacturer or carrier is not supported by TWRP.
Period.
As for the stock recovery you need. Just copy the OTA.zip file to your PC and extract the recovery.img file within the firmware.zip file.

Yes, the main reason I unlocked my bootloader ..... was just for HK mod but then only I realized that my phone is S-ON and S-OFF is only possible using sunshine.
Ok now I have the recovery.img file for my phone.
What should I do with it ?
Using hassoon2000's toolkit select 'your own recovery' and flash that's it ?
And one more question my CIDnum is t-mob009
Does that mean my mobile is tmobile based ?
In my place we have only two carriers and we don't have tmobile,sprint or verizon here.
EDIT : @mroshaw I hope you got your answer from the post #6
EDIT 2 : @BerndM14 just flashed the stock recovery and updated my phone and happy with it
Thanks for helping me mate
Good Luck

Awesome, good stuff. This will definitely help me out too.
Can I ask one quick follow up - where on the phone is OTA.zip stored? I have Root Explorer so just a matter of knowing where to look.

Brilliant, thank you so much mate! Copied that down to my PC, flashed the recovery.bin and the update applied itself just fine! Restored TWRP and I'm back in business.
Really appreciate the help from you and the OP - great stuff!

[Q] Recovery mode

History : i've been using an earlier pre-rooted rom for this device and after having taking care of unrooting it, i tried the OTA Update to upgrade and access the TWSP and Garbage rom.
My issue is that as i access the phone in fastboot mode with fastboot and adb i can't acces the recovery mode : the phone reboot to fastboot.
Any hint appreciated

According to http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/congrats-to-bootlocker-unlocked-t3138547
Step 1 to unlock is Update to 2.19.40
I'm on 2.15.40.13 and the OTA fails at the fastboot menu

http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/orig-development/rom-pre-root-img-t3079590/page51
I forgot this was a pre-root system.img file as explained, no stock system.img provided
I think the recovery limitation was made on purpose to avoid bootloop after OTA.
Looking for stock rom to flash via fastboot

Fixed :
Used cai_dat_CWM Tethered to flash stock rom from Asus Website
UL-Z00A-WW-2.19.40.18-user.zip from Asus Website
Then again to root with SuperSU246 update from zip

Replace the recovery to stock recovery and relock the bootloader. If you installed the modified firmware, reflash the stock firmware, you will be good

how to replace recovery with the stock one. Where I can find it.
Do i lose all my application data doing so.
No, I am using the stock firmware, so I suppose no need to reflash it.

Here you should find the stock recoveries: http://www.andromods.com/download-files/htc-one-m8-stock-recovery-verizon-sprint-att-tmobile.html
download the right recovery.img file and follow these instruction on how to flash - http://androiding.how/how-to-install-twrp-recovery-via-fastboot/ - in this just change the twrp recovery.img to the one you downloaded and run the code in command prompt.
It is recommended to do I clean install to avoid any further reported errors. Once you relock the bootloader you will lose all the data (like hard reset).

Thanks again for the info.
Unfortunately, I could not find the right stock recovery in the link you provided, so I use another one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860.
However, I have to ask, if I am on stock firmware; only rooted through SuperSU and with TWRP recovery,
do I need to reinstall (reflash) or restore to sotck firmware as in steps # 7 to 9 in the post (link) I added, or
can I directly flash the stock recovery and then relock the bootloder and start downloading the update 6.0
Thank.

First thing .. you cannot do OTA with a rooted stock ROM, you need a non-rooted ROM.
Secondly .. there is no need to relock bootloader - read the note in my thread.
Just read again post #1 and follow all the 14 steps, you should be fine.
Anything, you can ask in my thread as I'm not following your thread.

[GUIDE] OTA Update Rootet(Magisk) H6X (Honor 6X)

I had trouble updating my Honor 6X (BLN-L21) after I rooted it, so I searched the whole xda to gain some information. Finally I made it, so I thought I could share this information with you guys, hope it helps, but I do not take responsibility if not, as you may have already heard, the Honor 6X (like every Kirin device) is very easy to brick.
- If everything is gone alright you should keep all of your data, apps and settings.
- If there is a big update, like from MM to N you maybe should backup all your stuff and relock the bootloader to update (big updates can relock frp so you can't unlock your bootloader then a rollback is the only way.
Successfully tried from:
B360 to B365
B365 to B367
Short Version (for expert users):
1. uninstall busybox bynaries and the Xposed Framework
2. uninstall magisk (inside the app)
3. flash stock recovery.img (of your actual firmware)
4. flash stock boot.img (of your actual firmware)
5. make OTA update (Reminder: safe update file)
6. flash twrp again and root
7. you are all done
Detailed Version:
#cmd commands#
1. backup your system over TWRP #adb reboot recovery# and do a backup there (for safety reasons)
2. #fastboot reboot#
3. uninstall busybox bynaries and the Xposed Framework(not just the app) (if you have it)
4. uninstall magisk (in app over "complete Uninstall button")
5. restart to bootloader #adb reboot bootloader#
6. flash stock recovery #fastboot flash recovery recovery.img# [use the recovery out of your actual firmware, how to extract is explained in the Forum I added at the end
7. flash stock boot #fastboot flash boot boot.img# [also use the extracted version of your actual package]
8. #fastboot reboot#
9. download update over OTA Update app (System update) in stock system. -> If the "System updater" app does not provide a Full version of the update package, the update could get stopped at 8% saying it could not verify the update, if so, just take the step to the error and reboot, if you then search for an update again, the "System updater" should now show you a Full version of the update package. like "BLN-L21C432B365-FULL"
10. you should safe that update files out of the HwOUC folder, so you can extract the recovery.img and boot.img later before you restart your device to do the update, because the system deletes these files after successful update
11. update over OTA Update app (System update) in stock system
12. restart to bootloader (#adb restart bootloader#)
13. flash twrp again #fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.1-0-berlin.img# [use the OpenKirin twrp edition (the official leads to a bootloop] -> [url]https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/development/twrp-t3583413[/URL]
14. Important is not to boot to system after flashing TWRP, exactly like as you installed it the first time. So you do #fastboot reboot# and then Vol down + lock
15. backup your system over TWRP (for safety reasons)
16. #adb reboot recovery#
17. flash Magisk zip in TWRP again
18. reboot in twrp
19. you are ready to go with the latest stock rom​
How to extract boot.img and recovery.img out of your actual firmware is explained here:

This work only with packages like "xxxB360-FULL" or even with smaller downloaded packages that just updates some files? And, if I choose to do this with the FULL package do i have to re modify all the settings that i use actually?

I already tried it with the FULL package (edited the Guide btw.) you keep all your settings and stuff like before.
If it doesn't show you the FULL package just try the update until it fails, the system than will show you a FULL version of the update after the restart and research. That worked for me so far.
Hope I could help

Finally i found some time to dedicate on updating my phone, and I'm happy to say that it worked. I made from B360 to B365 and from B365 to B367, both worked at first shot. The only thing that i just can't understand is why the OTA package downloaded yesterday worked immediately, while the same B365-FULL package downloaded a month ago, copied on PC before starting it and later started didn't. With stock recovery and boot images obviously. I tried to start it later but nothing, i tried dload method with the update.app but neither that worked. Probably the OTA downloaded creates a sort of signature that can't be recreated that easily, if the same package fails through dload method... But what matters most is that now I'm on B367, protected with the latest security patch. Sorry for the late answer, time is hard to find... Thanks

Hi
Can someone upload the boot.img and and recovery.img from B367

I was on rooted BLN-L24C5678B360, and I want to take the OTA 365, so I flashed stock recovery and boot, reboot into system and started the update, but it failed, afterwards the phone stuck at booting up screen.
I have to boot into fastboot and run "fastboot oem relock [my unlock code]" to relock it, then followed by a factory reset. But when it comes to update, it failed again. Upon reboot, it stuck again with the message "Your device has failed verification and may not work properly."
What did I do wrong?
Update: recovered with the official rollback software to 6.0.

You can try full firmware for b365 if available via dload.
Unlock your bootloader and it will boot to twrp and then boot normally.
