Every time I click update on my developer mode M8, it restarts automatically in the TWRP recovery mode. I have no choice but to reboot in recovery mode and the phone loads again asking me to update. Has anyone experience this? I am still on the stock ROM withe XPosed installer if that matters. Any suggestions will be appreciated, thank you!

Do you have a TWRP backup? You could restore it in TWRP if so.

I have a some of backups I created manually a couple of days ago but how would a restore of those backups update the system to 1.54.15409? Don't the phone still has to download the system update again?
You are asking for trouble trying to update on rooted, custom recovery and xposed framework installed..
Soff, Revert to stock, flash stock recovery, and then update

Oh I see. In that case I'll just get one of the custom ROMs from here that will have the new system update. Thank you!
Phone has to be 100% stock, inc. the stock recovery and kernel, to flash an OTA file as it checks to make sure the phone is stock. ANY change to the original system and it'll fail

You have to have firmware that matches your hboot, and stock recovery. Doesn't matter if you are unlocked.
So I just got my brand new Note 4 Developer Edition today, I'm trying to make a stock backup but all the methods I'm finding tell me I have to root first. This is my first DE and before I had to use Safestrap on my S4 because Verizon are D-bags. So I'm familiar with Odin, but not at all familiar with TWRP or CWM besides the acronyms. Is it true that I have to root before I can make a stock image of my phone, I also want the aboot backed up because I'm sure I will end up screwing up something or worse Verizon will shove an OTA on my phone and lock me out.... I've searched for the aboot back up found this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-verizon/general/guide-vzw-note-4-backup-developer-t2962911
Its telling me I need to root for the backups to work
Not sure what all you guys need to help guide me in the correct direction:
Model Number: SM-N910V
Android: 5.0.1
Baseband: N910VOYU1BOAF
Hardware; N910V.05
Stock I haven't tried to run anything on this phone until I get some help first. I don't want to lose my Unlocked Bootloader.

You must root to create a backup

You do not have to root before you make a backup. The link you mention above is the correct step by step process to install a custom recovery (TWRP) and root the Developer Edition Note 4..http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-verizon/development/how-to-custom-recovery-root-t2923340. Keep in mind the first step is to ODIN TWRP, backups and root come after that. To enter recovery you press Power, Vol UP and menu simutaneously and wait for the phone to boot into TWRP recovery. Then follow the on screen menu options to do a backup, restore, wipe etc. If you follow the instructions in that post you'll be find. This link you quoted also guides you to a process to backup your aboot (unlocked bootloader)....strongly recommend you do that soon after rooting your phone also.
Hello everyone im new to this forum and i got a problem i think u guys can help me with.. . First of all i have to tell that i know nothing about rooting. Recently i bought an used HTC one m8 from a friend and had kitkat on the device. so i tried to check for updates. but i saw the option is missing. so after few minutes i get to know that this device is rooted, when i see the information about the phone. there is an app called super su and when i open it it says "there is no super su binary installed and super su cannot install it.....( ithink you guys know the rest) so i tried two days googling the problem and did everythin i can. but no results. root checking apps say that this device is not rooted but it is.. (some kind of half rooted i think ) so can anyone please be so kind to help me.....?. (sorry for my bad english if it is )

Instruction to return to stock to update are here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860
To determine what version number to restore, what does it say for OS number on the bootloader screen?
4.16.401.13

Then that is the stock TWRP backup and stock recovery you want to restore, from the thread I posted. After you restore to stock, it should OTA update to Marshmallow.

Does this process involve turning on the phone in recovery mode. Because I can't do that. my mobile shows a red triangle and exclamation mark when I try to start in recovery mode

In s-on devices, it is not giving access to stock recovery directly. The first coming exclamation mark is normal. In that occasion if you want to access recovery; while pressing power button, press volume up. However you don't need to go to recovery.
1) If your bootloader is locked, unlock it. http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/
2) flash twrp (TWRP 2.8.7.0)
3) restore backup (4.16.401.13)
4) flash stock recovery (4.16.401.13)
5) check updates
(the thread given by redpoint73 includes information A-Z to stock)
thank you both redpoint73 and umesh. Really appreciate the help. Im gonna try this and return to you if i have any problem

That is the stock (official HTC) recovery; from there you can press power+vol up to show the stock recovery menu options. But as a previous reply mentioned, stock recovery isn't going to help you (restore stock TWRP backup, etc.). For that, you need to unlock the bootloader (if not already) and install TWRP custom recovery.
The bootloader screen, near the top, will indicate whether the bootloader is LOCKED, RELOCKED or UNLOCKED. If LOCKED or RELOCKED, unlock it as mentioned in Post #9 above.
My guess is that the previous owner restored stock recovery in a botched attempt to return the phone to stock. By "botched" I mean they didn't properly restore the stock ROM to remove root. But following the guide I linked previously will do that properly.

Just install TWRP, restore the previously indicated stock TWRP backup, install corresponding stock recovery, and update OTA.

Did the wipe the partitions indicated in the guide? If so, I can't see what can be causing the issue. Proper stock ROM for your firmware, with proper wipes, I haven't seen these issues.

The version we told you to restore is not for a demo version. I don't think you restored as you were advised, at least not properly.
Also, factory reset only wipes user data, it doesn't affect anything with the ROM; and you should not be mistaken in thinking it would.

Any one knows how to re-lock the bootloader of one plus 3???
And
How to remove that screen on boot up after unlocking one plus three??? :/
If you read the screen properly ull see the instructions on the screen itself do everything the same way you unlock the bootloader just instead of oem bootloader unlock type oem bootloader lock ...but make sure you're on stock rom and recovery

But then My root access will be wiped??
I want root access and dont want than annoying screen
two questions different answer but I would bet if there is a way to remove nag screen a google search would find it. Keep searching threads
there is no reason to re-lock bootloader, its still under warranty through Oneplus even with unlocked bootloader. but if u really want to
1. fastboot flash stock recovery (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img) (make sure u download the file, its somewhere here on the forums
2. reboot and then reboot to fastboot (fastboot oem lock) (i have never re locked a bootloader so i am not sure if it will rewipe ur device again like unlocking it does)
3. boot to OS and get developer options again and uncheck OEM Unlock (do this last)
i would not recommend re locking since it wont void warranty and seemed like a lot people screwed up their devices relocking it, but they also unchecked the oem unlock before flashing stock recovery, also i am not sure if step 2 is needed, i would just make sure u flash stock recovery 1st before doing anything

What part of be on stock OS is so hard to understand?
If you're not absolutely stock when relocking, you will brick your device.
Then good luck trying to enable OEM Unlocking when not being able to boot.
As someone who messes with their phone, relocking your bootloader is one of the worst possible things you can do.
If not done correctly, it WILL brick your device.
If you want to go back to stock, then surely do, there is absolutely no need to relock your boot loader unless you're selling your device to someone or if you're looking to pass SafetyNet for Android Pay or something.
Also, you cannot have the cake as well as eat it. You need to have an unlocked boot loader for root, exposed, etc. There is no way around this.
Phones previously had to be reverse engineered and exploited to gain root access, now OEMs freely allow unlocking.

I hope you can read this. I'm not a noob and I am looking to relock my bootloader because I am going to sell it. The person wants it fully stock so I need to relock the bootloader in order to regain access to official Ota updates.
I need to be on complete stock (stock recovery and rom) right? Would you please kindly point me to where I need to go to download the stock Rom and recovery. There's some TWRP flashable OTA zips on Oneplus forums that restore stock Rom and recovery but I want to be sure that that is enough and that I don't end up bricking my device for something as stupid as this. Any help would greatly be appreciated!

Fash 3.2.4 FW from here.
Follow all instructions from here (except I would suggest sideloading the StockROM before relocking).

I followed the same guide posted on OnePlus Forum to re-lock my bootloader. Just follow them, it works.
Here is that link from OnePlus forum.
1. I restored my stock rom backup from TWRP
2. Flashed Stock recovery
3. fastboot oem lock
4. Sideload stock ROM
Done.
I unlocked because stock ROM I felt was much stabler and hassle free. Have rooted and played with custom ROMs enough in my Nexus 5 days. Just too much stress and can end up with non-working features. Might root again in future if I find something compelling in custom ROM.

Iam on stock OOS 4.0.3 and i was plagued by the same error
--adb sideload the complete rom (with locked bootloader)-- method worked for me.
Previously i had unlocked bootloader and was on freedom OOS 2.3 with TWRP and then i realized that stock updates are better.
So i installed stock recovery and and tried to flash Stock Firmware 4.0.3 through sideload command and it failed.
then i installed TWRP and then installed stock OOS 4.0.3 and it installed fine but with some error.
Then i installed stock recovery
So i rebooted it and after long time it was installed but then i started getting dm_verity error and also i was frustated with unlocked bootloader message.
So i locked my boot loader first from fastboot oem lock and then sideloaded the stock 4.0.3 again and it really worked.
So now i am on stock rom and stock recovery and no more dm_verity error or unlocked bootloader msg to wait for 5 secs...
Now iam really loving my Oneplus 3..
I have a LG G4 since almost the release of it. I had it rooted and with an unlocked bootloader since now. I decided to use it as my daily though to pay with it using Google Pay. So I re-flashed the stock v29a zip provided by LG and did the "fastboot oem lock" command. The bootloader locked, the rom is fully stock now without any modification. Why Google pay still says that the phone is altered and after checking Safetynet with an app on play store, fails? Also On Play Store the phone appears Uncertified... What is the problem?

Just an idea, take a look at your build.prop and see if anything looks off. Maybe you need to format some partitions before flashing the stock zip?
Cheers!
Thanks for the reply. I think the zip is flashing all the partitions.I checked for TWRP and did a factory reset after the flash to make sure it's as stock as it can get. Now for the build.prop I also think that it needs root to check and edit it right? If not what sould I look for?

I think that certain partitions need to be formatted you might want to search about that. I think TWRP can access the build.prop but not sure. I suggested checking build.prop because it will show different models, builds and basically would be an easy way to see if you are truly back to stock.
Good luck!
Thanks! I would have to install TWRP again maybe ?

a user from this forum said that you need to take the line "ro.build.firgenprint=..." of the any MM/LP build.prop and insert it into the N build.prop (including reboot btw) and try again if google pay works for you...
I don't know if it works, I don't tried it, but you say us.
