You still can OTA, even your phone is rooted.
Only their is some tips you need to know:
1. Don't delete or change any files and apps that is build-in on system.
Even you want to delete apps made from telecom operators IS NOT PERMITTED!
2. Recovery need flash back to original version.
For these two tips, you can do OTA even your phone is rooted.
But note that YOU NEED TO ROOT AGAIN every OTA.

Speaking to point 2:
I recommend not flashing a custom recovery at all. You can boot to TWRP/CWM/Philz from fastboot without flashing, and this leaves your stock recovery intact.
To do this: download your preferred recovery image. Let's say it's called "openrecovery-2.7.0.3-m8.img"
Copy this file to the same folder your "fastboot" executable is in on your computer.
Boot your phone into fastboot and connect it to your computer via USB.
Type in the following on your computer:
Code:
fastboot boot openrecovery-2.7.0.3-m8.img
Now your phone will boot into TWRP without touching your partitions or anything else that might affect OTAs. Apply your root.zip update and reboot!
EDIT: Once you've booted into your custom recovery from fastboot, you can disconnect the USB, so you're not stuck at your PC.

Hello,
I have the same question as the OP. Everything seems to make sense when following this post. My question is even though I will just boot into recovery without ever flashing the recovery am I really able to disconnect my phone from the computer? It seems like the recovery files are actually on the computer so I would need to keep the phone connected while I install the supersu.zip
Thank you for the help
I don't see why you would want to disconnect it but the image should be loaded into ram so I assume it would be safe to disconnect. I have never tried it though :/

Ok I guess I should just leave it connected since I just need to install the supersu.zip file.
Every time an OTA update is applied will I just need to boot into TWRP recover and reinstall the supersu.zip file in order to regain root access?

There's no reason you *can't* leave it plugged in, but yeah, when you run the fastboot command it loads the custom recovery into RAM, and the connection to your computer is doing nothing for you. I give my personal guarantee that it's 100% safe to disconnect after recovery's loaded. But again, if leaving it plugged in makes you more comfortable, it won't hurt.
I can confirm it, that with root OTA is possible
I had a device with root, s-off, unlocked etc... but stock recovery, stock rom,..
today I got the ota, updated without any problems... I just needed to boot into custom recovery afterwards and install the root.zip

Did you just install the regular supersu file?
I read this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2755657) and it seems that if I install the regular supersu root file the OTA update will fail.
Just wondering if you just used the regular files in order to root your phone.

Can you please guide me through the entire process on how to install the OTA update and not lose root, I don't have much knowledge when it comes to flashing into recovery, etc. I do have an HTC One M8 with S-Off. I would be eternally grateful if you could help me out.

Dude, do the research yourself. I don't know how many more times this has to be said. There's nothing special you have to do, just apply the OTA update when prompted
Hi, My htc m8 is bootloader unlocked from htcdev and was rooted at 4.4.3 with stock rom and S-on.Yesterday i got 4.4.4 ota update and after the update,I lost my root which was rooted by supersu.Then i tried to boot into twrp via fastboot by issuing this command:
fastboot boot openrecovery-twrp-2.8.1.0-m8.img
and pc screen says download ok and reboot but phone still stays at fastboot screen and just hangs there.Then i will have to keep pressing the power button to boot it normally. and this method of booting into twrp without actually flashing was working before.Any ideas please.Thanks.
Yeah it stopped working. Flash the custom recovery. When you get the new ota you download it but install it later and extract the recovery.img from the new ota and flash that before installing the new ota.

Thanks for the reply. Actually i have allready saved my ota file before upgrading.Can i do anything without flashing custom recovery?
Well depends on what you want to do. Give root access is only possible with a custom recovery......

Ok. So if i understand correctly, i will flash twrp and will reroot by flashing supersu again. right.
and what would be the benefit of extracting the recovery from ota and flashing as i have already updated to 4.4.4.I would like to get root again and want to remove the traces of twrp so that in future i can get OTA updates like now as i backedup everything by booting into twrp but without flashing it.sorry for the questions as i am kind a newbie. Thanks

You can always return to stock recovery. You're making it harder than it needs to be.

Alright..i am going to flash twrp then.Thanks for the help guys.
I tried to flash new firmware using the instructions from http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2696282 but it doesn't work. It says it's failed; I've done it numerous times to no success. How do I update my HTC__622 to version 3.xx.xx? I checked MD5 file and it says its correct. I used the file from this forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2696514, but it still doesn't work. I'm trying to update my firmware so I can use the latest sense roms
Since you don't really understand how to update firmware manually ...
Why don't you do the easiest way ?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56544097&postcount=2736
1. Install TWRP recovery
2. Restore 2.11.708.2 nandroid backup (you can select only system and boot if you want to keep your data)
3. Flash stock recovery
4. reboot and check for OTA, let the system install OTA to 3.32.708.4
5. reinstall TWRP or any custom recovery
6. install any Sense custom ROM that you like
7.done

Just another thing, do I need to lock bootloader and then unlock later on? Do I keep my root? Or do I have to root it again?
Sorry, I got so excited :fingers-crossed: finally gonna get some lovin' from the other sense custom roms! <3
Lastly, will my root be gone when I restore this? Will my phone brick if I update it to OTA after the flashing of the zip?
Sorry again if I got too many questions! I've been dying to find a way for this

No need to relock bootloader ... never do that.
You will lose root but you can easily re-root.
You don't flash the zip ... you need to extract the zip on your PC and transfer the contents to your device TWRP/BACKUPS/yourserialno/thisfolder
Restoring a nandroid backup will not brick your device.
Furthermore, your intention is to flash the latest Sense custom ROM after your firmware is updated to 3.32.708.4 and those custom ROMs come pre-rooted, so no need to manually root it.

Thanks a lot! Finally someone giving me answers I couldn't find :cyclops:
Oh, and if at some point in the future that I wanna try out the lollipop roms such as Skydragon, do I need to update firmware? Is the firmware in that rom different from the ones in sense roms? In other words, will I encounter problems if I flash a GPE Lollipop rom?
You can install GPE 5.0 SkyDragon on your 3.32.708.4 firmware but not on lower version like 2.11.708.2
The only problem you may have is WiFi disconnected when screen-off but to some including me, this is not happening ... only for some people on some firmware.

If you are S-On you will need to re-lock your bootloader for the OTAs, If you are S-Off there is no reason to re-lock.

That was what I've been told, and have also read on other sites. For example.
Personally, I never worry about OTAs. Being s-off and flashing firmware is a lot quicker than waiting on my carrier to update.
But thanks for clearing that up for me.

That's for manual updating via the ota zip. The thing i ment was official ota via update menu inside OS with stock recovery.
Anyone has the latest(released Feb 16th) oreo OTA full stock firmware from T-Mobile?
I tried pulling it from a logcat. Was going to fastboot flash it since I can't install it while rooted. Every url I found in the logcat gave me a 405 error though.
I got another Moto Z2 Force today. Fresh out of the box TMO. Came with the OCX27. I have not yet taken the update. If someone can guide me on how to extract the OTA That'd be helpful. Only thing I am willing to do so far with this new device is unlock the bootloader that's it. I will not root or install TWRP until I can extract the OTA and attempt to fix my other device stuck in an unknown baseband no IMEI state. I got there by attempting to install TWRP and root with Magisk.

Pulling the log through ADB will yield the OTA download link. That's how @joemossjr and I grabbed the Oreo update from nougat for TMO and Sprint.

It's hard to explain. You have to capture the moment the phone grabs the OTA file from Motorola's update website.
Enable developer options
Enable ADB
Plug phone up to a PC that has updated ADB binaries
Open terminal/command prompt
Adb shell
Logcat
After you do that your terminal of choice will start spitting out the log.
Run the system updater.
Download the OTA. At that moment, one of the logs should give you a VERY long URL. That's the download link you're looking for.
Copy and paste into your browser. You should be auto downloading it.
Done
Very stupid question, but I have to ask, because Moto is a bit wonky on bootloaders and updates, etc.
I'm currently on OCX27 and I've got the notification to download OCX27.1. I do have an unlocked bootloader and I am rooted with Magisk. Since I have not overwritten the recovery partition, can I take this update? On most other phones I have, I've been able to restore the stock recovery partition, flash the update, and flash TWRP back on, but on this Moto, I chose to boot twrp for loading magisk via adb. Make sense? If I'm not able to take this update, can I shut these update notifications off? They are already off in dev options.
Thanks in advance!

Did you get your second Z2 rooted and if so did you use magisk v16? I just got a Z2 today that is on the December 1, 2017 security patch, OCX27.1, Android 8.00 and I'd like to root but hesitant. I have already unlocked the bootloader, placed magisk and twrp-3.2.1-1-nash zip(s) in internal storage, and know how to fastboot boot into recovery, I just don't want to brick my new phone. Any help with step by step instructions once I'm in TWRP to flash magisk is greatly appreciated! Do I need to do any of the following: Keep system read only or allow modifications before flashing magisk? wipe data/factory reset, mount storage, wipe cache and dalvik after flashing? Thanks in advance!

All you need to do is grab the latest twrp img and zip file from twrp. Should be version 3.2.1-1
Then fastboot boot the img file, then once in twrp you want to flash the zip file, then when that is done reboot back into recovery
Then simply flash Magisk and reboot. Done.
How should I properly Flash Stock Firmware?
New to Moto phones and wondering what the correct method is for reverting to stock? I downloaded the 27.1 Oreo zip from this thread, do I flash it in twrp or should I flash it in adb from the bootloader? I get the following error message in twrp whenever I wipe dalvik/cache, try to install a zip, or do a backup which always says fail. I need a fresh install and re root, etc. Thank you!!

you can not flash with twrp. open the zip and see if there is a "flash-all.bat" file as well as adb and fastboot files. if not then pull them from one of the other flashall zips and add them to 27.1 zip. boot your phone to the bootloader, connect usb cable to your device and pc, then run the .bat file.

Factory reset gets the same error message shown in the attached photo. Thanks for the info, unfortunately I'm still a bit confused. Is this the only method to return to stock? I've searched but I'm not finding much and this method is completely new to me. In the past I've used Odin and LG up with my other devices, this is my first motorola. If I wipe internal storage in twrp will that erase the OS and need a new install? I am thinking that may clear up my issues but nervous that the phone won't boot up after that. Thanks and my apologies for my noob questions.

unfortunately other than manually fastbooting each img file to your phone this is the only way. check out this https://forum.xda-developers.com/z2-force/how-to/to-stock-roms-t3672859

So op 5t released a new update, whenever i open the update screen it says root detected, i would lose my root privileges if I update the phone.
I wanted to know whether i would only lose my root, or entire thing of bootloader getting locked etc?
After updating will I be able to just boot into recovery and flash root file? Or whole process I would have to do again
Thanks
Updates reinstall the stock recovery. You have to flash twrp then root.

When you install an OTA it will NOT relock your bootloader, it will reinstall the stock recovery since that is included in the OTA zip and is forced installed to be sure the update installs correctly.
You will lose the root temporarily until you flash a custom recovery again and your root of choice.

Wait, really? https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/blob/master/docs/tips.md#ota-installation-tips doesn't say anything about having to flash twrp again...
When an OTA is available, please go to Magisk Manager → Uninstall → Restore Images. Do not reboot immediately or you will have Magisk uninstalled. This will restore your boot (or dtbo if available) back to 100% untouched stock images in order to pass verifications. This step is required before doing any of the following steps written below!

Or does "100% stock images" mean the stock bootloader = flash twrp again?
Just to clearify, updating my phone by an OTA does not lock the bootloader but I'd have to flash twrp and magisk again..?
