Would I be able to take an OTA when it comes up if I root and install a custom recovery on my phone or do I have to revert to stock?
Much thanks!

I have the Verizon G2 and I was so excited to root and get custom recovery that I forgot to see if I was on the latest update... and I'm not. So of course I can't take the OTA with a custom recovery. So is there a way to get to the latest firmware with TWRP? Or a way to install stock recovery? Either of those would work I suppose.
So here is the list of question (sorry if i annoy but please let me know my answers)
After rooting will i get OTA updates?
Some seniors say that i cant get OTA updates with custom recovery installed??
So can i try custom recovery temporery and then when i'll found update arrived on other unrooted devices i'll restore to stock recovery? will it help?
And if i backup my stock ROM and install custom ROM on my device and then for OTA can i just restore stock and get the update?
Please answers stuck on this things

yes you will get ota updates but android 5 has done some changes to root so after updating there may be some problems

no if u install a custom recovery u will not get ota updates as ota update requires a stock recovery to install itself
So can i try custom recovery temporery and then when i'll found update arrived on other unrooted devices i'll restore to stock recovery? will it help?

yes u can temp try custom recovery and then restore to stock

I've been reading a lot of threads with a number of different ways to upgrade to MM on a rooted phone. Anywhere from restoring back to stock to take the OTA to flashing one of the files in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...rom-stock-rooted-debloated-x1575-6-0-t3262242
I am currently running LP 5.1.1 unlocked BL, rooted, xposed installed.
Couldn't I just unroot, flash stock recovery and the system img and accept the OTA? DO I have to return to full stock? Also is systemless root the only way to root after you take the OTA?
Sorry be there is so much information going around I just want to make sense of the update process.

You can probably just flash stock recovery and system.img and accept the OTA.
Systemless root isn't the ONLY way to achieve root on MM, but using the traditional (/system) root method requires a modified kernel to set SELINUX to permissive. For now, it looks like systemless is the way to go.
Good Luck.

Is there an advantage of systemless root over the traditional? And I am guessimg since I have SuperSu installed I will still need to do a complete restore to stock.
So, does anyone know if it's possible to boot twrp without flashing it and then root from there? I'm only asking because it would be nice to retain the ota feature in stock. Yet, would rooting make OTAs not work?
Hloo guys i want to know that if i install twrp recovery, thn will i get official OTA updates or i have roll back to stock recovery....
The safest would be to receive the ota and then root if the custom recovery has support for the ota installed as it changes a lot of things.
From the twrp faq:
Installing official updates usually removes root and replaces your custom recovery with a copy of a stock recovery. Most of the time the best way to get a new update onto your device is to simply wait a couple of days for ROM makers for your device to come up with ROMs that are based on the new update that you can safely and easily install.
