This is the latest T-Mobile OTA security update-- is there a version that can be flashed with TWRP to avoid unrooting and/or flashing stock recovery?
Thanks!

No, there is no version that you can flash with TWRP. But if you are S-Off, or if you can find a signed firmware.zip, you can flash it via fastboot.

I am S-ON and looking to upgrade from stock 4.4.2 to 4.4.3 but have TWRP recovery. Can anyone recommend the easiest way to do this? I keep getting the OTA system update prompt, which I downloaded, would I be able to just flash that zip using TWRP? Thanks

You need stock recovery, not TWRP.

So the easiest way would just be flash stock recovery, then do the OTA update
Yes, but if it doesn't work, you'll need to flash a stock ROM. Some apps are removed when you unlock at that makes the OTA fail.
So the OTA is out here. I have unrooted GPE flashed with TWRP, and this update won't install without stock recovery. Is it ok if I flash this update with TWRP recovery just like the GPE edition before hand?

You cant directly flash an OTA. Use the ROM here:

OTA requires stock recovery to install.
TWRP is a custom recovery, no reason to think an official OTA would be compatible with TWRP.
I am currently on OOS 4.0.2 with unlocked bootloader but stock recovery. Will taking the 4.0.3 update do anything adverse with having unlocked bootloader or should I flash TWRP 3.0.4-1 and then flash full 4.0.3 ROM?
What are thoughts on this?

you can take OTA if have stock recovery
whit TWRP dont take OTA or will brick phone
You can wait for OTA, unlocked bootloader has nothing to do with it. If you don't intend to flash root or anything no need to have twrp.
If you install it though, don't flash partial OTA files but full rom zips only.
If you wanna flash ota use stock recovery but if you have full zip file of 4.0.3 go for twrp and flash it
I happen to unlock bootloader and flash twrp recovery for installing AOSP ROM since it wasn't stable and there were no official firmware available as of now I didn't flash anything. Recently I got faceunlock/AR Update but flashing gets failed in twrp? Any way to fix this?
TIA

How should i revert back to original recovery?
Hello, I want to flash TWRP on my SM-G990B. But I'm not planning to flash any rom/gsi yet and more likely to stay in stock OneUI. If I get an OTA update will that install if I have TWRP installed as recovery?
I wondering too
