[Q] Installing system updates with TWRP flashed.

Hello, I recently flashed TWRP onto my V with the toolkit in the sticky thread, however I can no longer install system updates, it just boots into TWRP. Can anybody advise me on what to do next?
Kind Regards.

system updated only work woth stock recovery. i think you can flash the stock recovery, take the update, then go back with twrp

Thanks for your help, but I decided to flash over a custom ROM anyway, which is already updated to 4.0.4 and sense 4.1

You realize there are much better versions of Android beyond 4.0.4 available for the one V don't you? Cm 10.1 is currently at 4.2.2 and the latest fully working PACman rom (v19.3) is at 4.1.2, just to name a couple.

[Q] Are OTA updates important even though I'm running a custom rom and recovery?

I have an international model HTC One M8 and it's currently rooted with S-ON, has TWRP installed and I'm using the ARHD Custom ROM.
I know to receive OTA updates I need to be on stock rom and recovery but is there any particular need to get these updates?
ARHD is updated quite often and I usually just dirty flash and sometimes clean wipe and flash the newest version of the ROM. Will I get all the updates I need through the rom or do I need to reflash stock and stock recovery and get OTA updates before flashing the newest version of the custom rom?
Also, a side question. Should I S-Off my phone? Are there any benefits for a regular user such as myself?

If you're happy to update when Mike releases a new version then just go with that - he uses the new OTA to update his ROM so you'll be getting the same benefits. Just make sure you flash the new firmware package to get the FULL benefits of the new update (new radio, kernel, etc)

So on the downloads page of ARHD website (sorry can't post outside links yet) : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2694917
Say there was a new firmware update and a new version of ARHD to match. I would go to the firmware collection link and browse through to get a zip of the latest firmware, flash that first and then flash the newest version of ARHD?

Yeah, when ARHD 7.0 comes out (based on 1.54.401.10) then it'd work best with the corresponding firmware package

After flashing rom.. it still thinks it's not rooted

I am S-OFF and using latest version of Android Revolution HD (22.2) after having issues with trying to get lollipop, I revert back to Kit Kat. Everything is working fine, except when I'm trying to use SuperSu or Xmodule, I get an error stating 'there is no SU binary installed...' or that my phone is not rooted (it is). Anyone know why I would get this error?

You could try updating SuperSU by flashing the newest release. I have this problem on some ROMs when the recovery I'm using isn't compatible, I much prefer TWRP but some ROMs flash better with PhilZ.....So you might make sure you're on the latest version of TWRP or the compatible version of PhilZ.
If all else fails, try re-flashing your ROM or a different one and coming back to ARH if you prefer that one.

installing revolution HD w/ twrp?

hi guys - so i tried to install the revolution rom on my recently unlocked m9 and it'd only boot to the bootloader or download.
i found some threads back from 2012 that said twrp wouldn't install the rev rom, but suspect it's out of date - it seemed to work fine.
is there some magic here? i tried to flash my firmware to the version matching the rom (3.35.401.12) and got a code 10 failure in adb. my current firmware is 3.10.605.7. doesn't flashing the rom update the firmware too? or do i need to successfully flash the rom prior?
should i use a different recovery? twrp launched the rev aroma installer and all seemed to go perfectly smoothly... no problems came up until reboot brought me right back to bootloader.
the aroma install says it might boot loop a couple times, but i booted to bootloader 5+ times before giving up and going back to a deodexed stock vzw rom.
any help is greatly appreciated - i'm hoping to get up to marshmallow before calling it good enough and moving on.

Flashing the rom doesnt update the firmware. S-on makes sure of that.
You must be on the base firmware for the rom to take. You need the vzw marshmallow ota update before you can flash a marshmallow based rom.

CM update won't install

I'm trying to install the latest update to cm13 but it errors out. I'm only running stock CM with no custom kernel. I've also tried a full wipe and reinstall but get the same error message. Any help is appreciated.

Which rom are you running now? If it's lollipop based then you need to flash marshmallow to then flash cm13 over the top of it.
If you are s-on you have to use an ruu or an ota. If you are s-off there are plenty of zips around you can flash.
The principle is, you need a base rom to flash the "incomplete" cm13.

You need to update your firmware to the latest version and then you will be able to flash the new ROM.
