can I install official ota uptade with twrp?
No, you need to be on stock recovery for proper OTA installation. If you still want to install an update you'll have to use fastboot method which will overwrite custom recovery (you can always flash twrp back regardless).
of course you can via twp, download latest recovery and flash it in twrp!

Hi all,
I'm on 4.4.3. I did the full conversion on my at&t m8. I s-off and completely rooted with twrp recovery.
I'd like to flash the 4.4.4 ruu but i think that's going to wipe my phone, it did last time at least. Is there any way I can flash it via recovery so I wont lose my data? Is there any other option?
I enjoy stock unmolested vanilla android, I shouldve gone with a GPE version, but its initial investment was just too much
Manually flash the OTA after you've flashed the stock recovery from the 4.4.3 RUU

seems easy enough? can u provide a quick how to or share a link?
1. Extract the stock recovery from the 4.4.3 RUU and flash it using fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
2. Download the OTA package from the OTA thread in General
3. Copy to the phone
4. Boot into the stock recovery
5. Select to flash the update from SD card
6. Choose the new OTA
7. Profit
You can then flash TWRP re-root the phone

Backup stock recovery for future OTA updates?
Hello,
I am currently on lollipop 5.0.1. I am looking to root the device and install TWRP as my go to recovery. I have being advised to backup my stock recovery so I am able to go back and update via OTA in the future.
I am unsure what the process is to backup stock recovery, any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
Your stock recovery will be in the next update. When being notified you download it but don't install it yet, take out the recovery.img from the ota.zip and flash it before you actually install the full ota.
No need to back it up now.
as an alternative to the above (which works just fine btw)
on the M8, you can boot into TWRP instead of flashing it
Code:
fastboot boot <name of twrp>.img
that will get you to twrp recovery, while the stock recovery is still on the phone, from there you can do a nandroid backup
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 just bought this phone and it has TWRP recovery installed and running stock 3.35.401.12
Whenever i try to install the available OTA update it just boots into TWRP and nothing happens. I want the stock recovery image so that i could flash it in TWRP (or any other way) so that i would be able to install the OTA.
Thanks a lot.

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
