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.
Hello
I am currently running the latest version of TWRP (openrecovery-twrp-2.8.1.0-d2att) and I am trying to flash CM 11, but I get an error in red "Failed"
I am even getting a failed error as well when flashing the bootloader in the thread below.
I have successfully been able to flash SlimKat 4.4.4 and Dirty Unicorn with no problems. I think I had the same problems as well when trying to flash Paranoid Android.
I have tried flashing the files from both the external SD card and Internal. No go.
This is the thread I am following: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2682905
Here is the error I get when flashing:
You cannot flash from your current bootloader. Current version: I747MVLUEFNE6
E: Error executing updater binary in zip '/external_sd/Flash/CM/1/boot_CWM_I747MVLUEMK5.zip'
Try using the latest version of Philz Touch for the d2lte to flash files.
You can flash the most recent zip from TWRP.

Ok, so I flashed the latest zip using the TWRP App rebooted into PhilZ Recovery and tried to flash the bootloader ( boot_CWM_I747MVLUEMK5.zip) from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2321310
Still got an error: Please upgrade to latest binary...You cannot flash from your current bootloader. Current version: I747MLUFNE6
E: Error in /storage/sdcard1/Flash/CM/1/boot_CWM_I747MVLUENK5.zip (Status 7) Installation aborted
Do not flash any bootloader to your phone. It is good that it did not flash mk5 over ne6. This will brick for phone.

Ok thanks. Where can I find the latest boot-loader for my device? I was trying to follow this guide to flash CM11 and it told me to download the latest boot-loader and update it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2682905
I guess the thread I wrote above is an outdated guide to flashing CM11. Would you happen to know the steps I should take to flash cm11 for my device with my current bootloader?
BTW I still can't flash the CM11 Rom in Philz Touch Recovery.
Iv never had any issues using philz touch to flash.

You have the ne6 bootloader. Do you have an i747m or i747? It will make a difference when it comes to flashing an updated bootloader and modem.
Are you downloading the latest CM11 from the cyanogen site?

Thanks for helping out so far. My Model number that shows up in "About Device" in my phone's settings say SGH-I747M. Yes I am downloading the latest CM11 Nightly build here : http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=d2lte
P.S.
Will I bay able to go back to stock if I don't like CM11? I heard that it will brick my phone from rolling back the boot loaders. What if I restore from a nandroid backup, will that work to restore to stock without bricking my device?
With a custom recovery, you can create a backup, flash your ROM, and you can restore the backup if you don't like cm11.

Ok thats good. Though I still have the problem of flashing CM11. It still fails on me on TWRP or Philz Touch Recovery. Any ideas on how to fix this problem?
What error are you getting? What cm11 ROM are you flashing?

Never mind, found out that I had to run the factory reset in PhilZ Touch first then flash the rom. Alls good, but didn't like CM11.
Though why didn't it work on TWRP?
I had issues with TWRP flashing ROMs too. Once I switched to Philz which is based on CWM, I had no issues flashing the same ROMs that TWRP would not flash.
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 don't remember if OTA updates overwrite the recovery or if TWRP will upset the OTA updates.

Twrp actually supports installing official ota updates but while installing ota update it changes the revovery to the stock one.I can confirm this as i myself have done this after asking in various threads
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

Installing official updates from your manufacturer or carrier is not supported by TWRP.
