I've rooted, installed TWRP, installed custom kernel but otherwise on stock KitKat. I just received an OTA update notice. Tried updating it and got stuck at TWRP, installed the stuck fix and it boots back into the rom fine.
How can I install the OTA update? Or get the latest stock rom to be installable via recovery?
recently, i updated to lolipop, i want to back up my stock recovery.img file, for later OTA updates.
because i want to root my phone and install TWRP, please i need a simple way to keep may stock recovery img file.
thank you

You don't need to back it up. When the new future ota is out you download it, install it later and get the firmware zip out of the ota zip and take out the recovery.img out of the firmware zip. That's the stock recovery. So no need to back it up now.
Lollipop has brought back the ability to boot into TWRP. You can boot TWRP, root then back up recovery and boot with flashify.
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
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.

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!
