You should flash back to stock and update. Cannot install OTA over a rooted rom I believe.
However, I came from Paranoid Android and followed the advice here, and it worked perfectly. Was able to keep root and TWRP.

currently on CM13.1 nightly I'm going to follow what you did. Hope it will work

I was rooted I use this post, and the is a link in that thread to the actual zip your will need, and also you must have the updated TWRP as well. All the information is in that thread. but that is literally it.
Download update zip
Download Flashfire
download new TWRP
Back up you crap ( will not wipe SD card unless you tell it to )
Run FlashFire, set setting correctly
run it, you will already be rooted when done
set dev mode
re-flash new TWRP
PROFIT

Did you get the option "Restore boot and recovery images" when setting Flash OTA zip? I just got Auto mount and Mount /system read/write.

If you have Xposed just get Android N-ify and it's just like having 7.0

Anyone updated from DP5 / systemless root / TWRP?
And flashed zip for adaway to work.
What are the steps to update with ota zip?

Yes and everything is ok. Follow the steps carm01 suggests some post above. Its easy and at least for me everything worked. After fisrt boot you can go to TWRP and flash everything else you need.

You can get the same experience without going through the trouble of upgrading and then having to root again etc. I personally like it but we all have opinions

I used it months ago so there could be a lot of changes to it since then?
I don't believe the new notifications are there? Quick pull down? It's also nice that it takes up a GB less for system as well.
What rom are you on?

The notifications are definitely there, so is quick pull down It's updated frequently so I'm sure the experience is the same

[ROM] 1 Dec ITL41F [GSM] - Stock ROM image for ClockworkMod

Here is the completely stock ROM image for the GSM Galaxy Nexus, version ITL41F. It is not rooted, if you wish to root after installing use my Superboot. System and boot images are included, recovery and baseband are not. The baseband version for ITL41F is the same (XXKK1) as ITL41D, which is posted in this topic if required.
I know this will be useful to anyone wishing to revert their phone to get a future OTA, to chefs wanting to base a ROM on it etc. etc., so here it is.
To install, flash this update zip via ClockworkMod.
Enjoy!

It's official Samsung firmware.
Thanks for the ROM - this will be useful for many I'm sure
Can I just ask - is there a reason the recovery image isn't included? It seems from recent threads that this is often requested in order to flash completely back to stock, but no-one seems to have one available. I was just wondering if it there was a specific reason why people haven't been posting it?
Cheers
Think I'll have a play about with this in my kitchen - get some practice in for when I get my GN

You can't flash the recovery image as your using CWM to flash it
You'll need fastboot to flash the recovery

Bit of an issue, the dsixda kitchen won't deodex the ROM. Any suggestions?
EDIT: Ignore me, should've actually checked to see if dsixda had returned to update his kitchen - which he has!
Is this the one with the permanent volume bugfix?

Yes apologies - I reedited my post when I saw that also.
Sorry for cross posting on this thread. Hopefully they will release the new updated version soon.
Although it probably worth a look as it has an autoscript to restore your phone to stock by flashing multiple files.
If your phone is rooted and have CWM, Superuser and Adfree installed and you flash this what exactly happens?
Does it uninstall CWM? if not how do you access it?

I need an answer as well.
is it just me but does cw recovery prevent you from installing ota updates?
I keep getting the alert from Google to update but get the sad hospitalised Droid when trying to install.
If I flash the stock rom but still have cw recovery and root the phone, will the ota updates work?

As far as i know this not touching your recovery.You must lock the bootloader in order to have stock recovery.You must root it again and install rom manager to access it through UI enviroment.I dont know for sure how you can access it with button combination (i think middle volume and power button)

I think your problem is cwm recovery and not the root.You must lock the bootloader in order to have stock recovery.After that the update can installed succesfully

[Q] Upadating Question

Hello XDA Developers! How are you doing?
I just got a Notification that, an update is available for my N7 2013. I guess it is the 4.4.3 one.
So, I rooted it with the Nexus Toolkit when I got the Tablet and have since then gotten around playing with Xposed (GravityBox[KK], Youtube AdAway, Instagram Downloader and AppOpsXposed).
My Questions now are the following:
Should I just OTA Update or should I take my Nexus Toolkit and use that?
Do I have to uninstall all the Xposed stuff? (everything on the latest stable version offered to me)
Is it necessary to Root again or is the Kernel still rooted afterwards?
Any resets necessary? Just a cache one?
Thanks in advance for your answers!
Best Regards

Give this thread a read: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2523217. It's simple to understand and super informative when it comes to updating OTAs. I know it's in the Nexus 5 forums, but the same principals apply.

Thanks allot! Read through but still got some questions:
If I want to OTA I have to go completely Stock I understand this now but, if I use the Nexus Toolkit, do I still need to Uninstall everything Xposed related and go back to stock first? Or just uninstall everything Xposed and continue with the Toolkits FW Flashing and afterwards re-rooting?
OR just use the Toolkit and everything is good to go?
Thanks again!

Not exactly sure how the toolkit works to update. I don't use them since I'm not a fan of toolkits. If it just boots you into custom recovery and flashes the OTA, then you need to be stock (with Xposed Framework uninstalled). If it boots you into the bootloader and fastboot flashes the individual image files, you don't need to uninstall, but you will need to reinstall/activate the framework after booting into 4.4.3. You'll also need to re-root, unless the toolkit does that for you too after updating.

Alright thanks again!
It has been quite some time since I last used it so I googled it again and found this http://nexus5.wonderhowto.com/how-t...ndroid-4-4-3-without-losing-any-data-0155334/
In the end there is this
You should now be up to date, with root and custom recovery restored and all of your data intact. If you use Xposed, you'll have to install the framework again for your modules to become active.

I installed the OOS 3.2.0 zip and now I'm getting an OTA...

I downloaded and flashed the OOS 3.2.0 zip once it was posted online but pulled by oneplus. I have been getting a notification for a system update for the past few days. As previously mentioned I'm running OOS 3.2.0, I'm rooted(systemless... Obviously) and I am using the official version of TWRP.
Is it safe for me to run the OTA? I'm also encrypted if that matters.
I've attached a few screenshots below...
TIA,
MeeGz
If you are rooted OTA will fail to install.

The best option is to download the whole 3.2.1 firmware, flash thru TWRP and immediately flash Supersu, clean Cache and Dalvik Cache and voila!

I think it will fail. You need to download and flash the full OS zip to make it work.
I kind of saw that coming. This is the number one issue I have with rooting and with custom ROMS like CM in the past. Updating is always a giant PITA...

[Q] regarding the new upcoming update! (7.1.1)

Just a quick question, as you know guys this week Google will release the new update 7.1.1 patch. as I rooted my device I won't be able to download OTA update! I already have the TWRP, EX Kernel and I don't want to lose them. Now, Is it possible to flash the new 7.1.1 update via TWRP without losing the root? if so, How?
thanks in advance for your help
As far as I know, the phone won't accept the update with your phone modified.

I'm pretty sure anyways. Root is part of boot partition now I believe and when you flash the factory boot it's going to erase root

You must TWRP Backup (Untouched System Image + Boot) before rooting your phone frist time
Then every time OTA realesed you
1- restore that backup
2- flash original recovery
3- update system
4- flash TWRP
5-Rooting device
Thats it
We can side load updates while being completely stock?

Titanium backup is just for your apps etc. Twrp backs up your entire device so you can restore it later.

I have beta N950USQU3CRBB, will I get OTA? Or will I have to revert back to Nougat to get OTA. If I have to revert back, is there a guide on how to do it and where to get the build?
No, you will not. The easiest thing to do is to apply the CRBB to CRC2 update since CRC2 is the build going out OTA:
