you can flash the ota zip in twrp.
choose your correct ota zip file there: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2380113
and flash it with twrp.
EDIT: you must have an unmodified system... if you have a custom kernel for example, flash the ota zip will failure.
or if you have xposed framework running it could give errors.

I downloaded the JSS15R → KOT49H zip file, in TWRP I did a factory reset then install the zip, but at the end it said that the flashing has failed.

hmmm... ok weird.
are you using supersu 1.69 or older for root?
if yes you must disable ota survival in supersu settings and re-root after update.
or if you have root go to supersu settings and full unroot.
there are several reasons why an update could have failed. two of the most popular reasons you get an update failed error maybe because:
you may have downloaded the wrong version or the file may have been corrupted.
you might have deleted a system app or made changes to the system files.
EDIT:
if you know how to work with adb and fastboot you can try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47474021&postcount=26
and then sideload the ota update zip.

I finally flashed the 4.4.2 factory image via fastboot.
Thanks for trying to help.

For future reference the ota comes in a flashable.zip but if you are trying to flash the factory image taken from Google site then it needs to be flashed through fastboot

How to go from prerooted to stock rom ?

Hi I m really new to this so excuse me ...
i got many updates by flashing with fastboot prerooted system.img i was on 2.19.40.18 prerooted but i would like to go to a stock no rooted to be able to apply OTA now
I tried an erase of my phone, but i came back to prerooted ...
I tried to install tethered TWRP and to install the.zip from asus download page but it was stuck on updating IFWI .... ( 2.19.40.20 zip file from asus )
What can i do ?
Plz help me

You need to go into the SuperSU settings, scroll to near the bottom and choose "Full unroot."

I did all on this post : http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/guide-to-apply-ota-bootloop-rooted-zf2-t3127835
I did unroot, flashed all 4 line before but i think my recovery is corrupted, it end in error with the green guy instantly and flashin via fastboot recovery.img isnt doing anybetter ...
I m really stuck ..

i was trying an adb sideload with a stock rom is this a good idea ? i got error protocol fault ...

Protocol fault is because you don't use latest ADB. Google it.

i successfully did this but now adb is stuck on serving 13 % and on the phone : verifying update package , it stopped like 15 min ago ...

Here's what I did to go from pre-rooted system back to stock.
1. Download the official latest image from Asus http://www.asus.com/support/Download/39/1/0/13/Lk0Sg1Ulh0Ph49Hl/32/
2. Rename the zip to MOFD_SDUPDATE.zip
3. Unroot via SU
4. Uninstall Xposed and modules if you have them busybox etc. (uninstall.bat for xposed it's easy)
5. Copy MOFD_SDUPDATE.zip to an SD card and insert into phone or copy to internal memory
6. Boot into recovery by holding power and volume up
7. If you get dead android press power button and volume up button and release.
8. Auto installs new image
I went this route after unrooting via SU and uninstalling xposed framework still wouldn't let me run OTA updates for some reason. I imagine I did something along the road or removed a system app or something. It wouldn't let me manually sideload or update and would error out halfway through the process. I cleared fastboot cache and even reset the device to no avail. I was on 2.19.40.18. I installed the 2.19.40.20 image then the OTA update to .22 yesterday.
If I root the device again which is likely I'll use method 3 and the rootkit tool.

i will try your way, installing the 22 now.
But i dont remember in recovery the auto installs new image ?

error in recovery trying to update the .22 like you said, i need to put the .20 before the .22 ?

I installed the 2.19.40.20 full system image (1.1GB) from Asus yesterday. They didn't have the full image for .22 up but they do now. I was on the .18 pre-rooted image. When you hold power and volume up choose recovery and it should install the MOFD_SDUPDATE.zip automatically (mine did). I had issues trying to manually update the phone from .18 to .20 and .22 via ADB (the patches are like 30MB). It would start the update with the android robot then fail about halfway.
Download the correct system image for your device. The new update is available as a full image now so download the .22 image from Asus and then rename it to MOFD_SDUPDATE.zip. Copy it to an SD card and insert it back into your phone. Phone is powered off so hold power and volume up to get the recovery screen. It will say Normal in a big green arrow. Change it to recovery via the volume buttons then hit power button and it should find and automatically install the MOFD_SDUPDATE.zip image.
FYI this is on a ZE551ML 4GB/64GB US WW firmware based phone. I imagine the other models are the same or very similar.
I wish I could articulate this better. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable comes along and lends a hand.

Hi, want to ask.
Previously i root by using Method 1 (PRE-ROOTED SYSTEM.IMG).
can i use your method to revert to stock rom and root again using Method 3 (1 CLICK ROOT TOOL)?

Flashing the entire system image you want to wipe everything anyways in this case. If you mean using the one click rootkit (method 3) to root then no it will not.

Yea. I'm hoping someone finds a way to return this to a "never been rooted" device where the OTA actually works.

Flash the .18 pre-rooted, then don't update SuperSU binary. Take OTAs as needed.
If OTA doesn't show up, download the OTA and adb sideload into stock recovery.

I've done that before, with any OTA, it'll give me the error droid when installing. That's when I said screw it, and try to unroot. And now I'm stuck with that error no matter what.

10/26 System Update?

I'm running Marshmallow 6.0 through the Bad Boyz v.2 Rom and I just got a 2.2 MB system update... Has anyone else recieved this update, any clue what this is?

I just had it pop up for me a few minutes ago. I'm rooted so I can't flash it yet because I'm not near aPC.

I received it also, not sure what it is

I've just had this too. Can I ask how you flash an update like this on a rooted device? I usually wait for the full image and then just flash that.

I got it too just now. it's 10/27/2015 1:27 AM

I installed the 6.0 image last week as explained in a post, with TWRP and the modified kernel. How do I install this update now?

the update is 2.2 megs. The original MM6 image was manually installed on my device when it came out and this update just got installed normally as usual. Maybe you should get the stock MM6 image from google and let things work by themselves. I don't see why i would change anything on my nexus 7 2013 with a fresh original MM6 installed .....
Cold this morning in Québec hey ?

You need stock recovery to install the update. I'm not sure about the modified kernel, I flashed the stock boot.img just to be safe.
After sideloading the update (or I guess you can just update it normally if your device has automatically downloaded the update) and rebooting, I re-flashed TWRP and then used it to install the modified kernel and SuperSU. Everything is peachy now.

you can use " Nexus tool rootkit " to wipe and reinstall the original stuff. As the man said up here, you need a stock recovery to install the update... if you re-install this modified kernel, you might have the same problem at the next update.

does anyone have a flashable zip for this update? I really don't wanna reload just to install this update....

^As it says on the factory image page, it's still 6.0.0. MRA58U.

You don't need to.
Download the system image and fastboot flash boot.img and system.img.
That's is. Doesn't wipe anything. Takes two minutes.

I rebooted in bootloader, flashboot recovery and boot from official image, but recovery boots in the dead android robot :-/. I reflashed TWRP and rooted kernel to get back on feet.

Thanks... I should have looked there first.

Is it somehow possible to flash the OTA on a rooted MM 6.0 with still stock recovery on it? I never flash but temperary boot TWRP to flash things. Would hate to reflash firmware for every OTA.
Thanks.

You can download the whole archive of MRA58U, extract system.img, reboot in bootloader and use flashboot to flash system.img (and boot.img if you do not need the rooted kernel)

bad modified boot image?
Hi there,
I am upgrading to MRA58U, factory image upgrade just works fine (skipped wiping as usual), but the modified boot image (from razor-mra58u-boot.zip) won't load.
Code:
> fastboot flash bootloader boot.img
sending 'bootloader' (7448 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.239s]
writing 'bootloader'...
FAILED (remote: Signature mismatched!!!)
The very same procedure worked fine for mra58k.
What am I doing wrong?

Not able to install Os 3.2.4 update(india) for rooted device.

I live in india. When I update my device via system update, 270 mb file is getting downloaded but while installing it loading TWRP recoveey mode and on rebooting os version is still in 3.2.1. My device is rooted. Is there any specific flashable zips for indian version available or please guide me if any other solution is available.Not able to find specific solution. I dont wont to loss datas for this small incremental update

you have to be unrooted and on stock recovery to flash an OTA.
you can also download signed firmwares from oneplus forums which can be flashed through twrp but i think you'll have to download the whole firmware.

What ^said, if you are rooted you can flash the whole firmware using TWRP, all you need to do is flash SuperSU afterwards.
However, i was rooted when I got the OTA for 3.2.4, it told me I was rooted and made me download the whole firmware, I flashed it in TWRP them SuperSU and I was golden.

No data loss on my end. It treated the flash like an OTA, it booted itself into recovery(TWRP), flashed and rebooted.

OP3 Official update installation

So I'm running OOS 3.2.6. which is rooted. In the software update it shows 3.2.7 (1.3GB) available for download but it also says "Root detected, downloading full upgrade. Note: your device will be unrooted." So if i download and install this will it work ? Also, whats the best way to install official updates on a rooted OOS ?

You need clean install of oxygen before you can update regardless, just have to reflash su again afterwards and any kernels xposed you use.

You can easily install it, but after the download su will be removed, so you will have to reflash it.

I'd recommend flashing stock recovery before downloading the OTA update as twrp "sometimes" fail to flash OTA updates. Also flashing the 1.3 gb full update will remove your root. You'll have to flash supersu again for root. And you'll have to do this everytime an OTA comes.
The best way to install official updates on rooted phone is to download the patch only file for 3.2.7 and flash it via twrp. The patch file will be around 40-50MB and it is available somewhere in the XDA threads. Search for it.

Best way is to download OTA update from oneplus forum instead of complete ROM and just flash update
