So i have the sprint 32 GB version and keep getting offered a security software update.
Since I have cwm installed when I try and install the update it takes me to cwm recovery.
Cwm recovery will not accept the signature and aborts installation
Anyone know what the update even does ?
Any way I can install the update without unrooting ?
Thanks

Yes sir I do have latest TWRP.
I rooted and installed TWRP recovery. I want to update my stock rom with the OTA update. The update is downloaded to my phone, but won't update, re-boots and goes into TWRP. I think I need to first install a stock recovery, but I can't find one. If I find the stock recovery will that allow me to update OTA.

As long as you haven't modified your rom you should be able to take the OTA with a STOCK recovery. You can find them here.
Also you might want to unroot before taking the OTA then reroot afterwards.
Got the ota and clicked install by mistake with stock recovery and root. It failed and had to do a battery pull to get it to boot. So yeah I'd unroot just in case.
I unrooted and installed stock recovery, but update failed?
It downloads, reboots and tries to install the latest Oxygen update but fails and asks for a reboot.
At one point I installed Kingroot but removed it afterwards. My phone is also encrypted if that matters.
Thanks
having the same problem with my gf's phone...... was a 1003 model if i remember correct.... recovery just had an "Update Failed" and nothing else.... even flashing the full package failed........ i'm considering installing TWRP and going from there but i'd like to avoid that if possible
Currently I'm on Global rom 8.1.2.0 ROOTED with SuperSU and Xposed Framework ..
Lately, update of 8.1.3.0 has been rolled out,
so I would like to update my device..
Since ROOTED device does not receive OTA update, I like to UNROOT first and then root it again after update..
Anyone cares to help me in this case?
I need a guide to fully unroot and remove the xposed framework so OTA update can be achieve..
Thanks all
I think just Reflash your MIUI room . then dont root it .
Or if you have SuperSU . i think it have option to "Full Unroot" .
You can't manually download it and update through updater app? It should restart with twrp instead of stock recovery and install the new version i guess

I dont see anyone uploaded the OTA file for 8.1.3.0 from 8.1.2.0 around 200MB..
moreover, I heard people said the OTA file only can be flashed using stock recovery & non-rooted device. if rooted you will fail .
OTA Update

Absolutely correct, you must never update OTA with Custom recovery. This will lead to a bricked phone and you'll then have to clean flash the stock rom(Erases Internal Storage). Unfortunately, I learned the hard-way and landed-up losing all the data in my Internal Storage.

You can very well uninstall Xposed and full-unroot SuperSU, however, I'm not sure whether it will be needed.
I would suggest taking a FULL NANDROID backup including Internal Storage and then performing the following steps (at your own risk):
Perform full-unroot from SuperSU app
Uninstall Xposed from TWRP
Flash stock recovery from TWRP
Update OTA from Updater App
Flash TWRP
Flash Xposed & SuperSU from TWRP
Btw, how did you get OTA update for 8.1.3.0 when its still not listed in the website?
Even if the ota is downloaded in .zip format? I remember a xiaomi forum where the op explained that he updated his Rom with twrp using updater app without issue. I must say he didn't downloaded via updater app but on a dedicated thread and then selected the Rom in the updater app menu.
Sorry if my guess was a Bad Idea and can lead to soft brick !!
i have just used the twrp recovery to get the full root
I think I f-ed up. I wanted to do a clean firmware install, so downloaded and installed the full OTA package from Firmware Finder for my current FW (C636 119).
The phone installed and boots/reboots/works fine. But when I try to get into recovery mode, I get an error message: installation failed.
Any idea what I can do? Will this affect future OTA updates?
