I've been running Stock Rom (4.1.1) with Bullet_proof_kernel and TWRP (instead of stock kernel and stock recovery),Recently I was notified on an update to 4.2.2 via OTA. And when I was asked for installing the update package after downloading (424 MB),it simply goes into TWRP,and nothing happens. I tried flashing it through twrp but it doesn't work(I get some errors on it). What if,I flash Stock kernel and stock recovery and then try updating it??If that's possible,Can anyone provide me with a link for downloading them? It would also be great if you suggest an alternate way to update it to 4.2.2 [stock].
Thanks in advance!! :D

As I've told at least 3 other people in the last couple days: OTAs require stock recovery to install.

Also, I think your bootloader will need to be relocked if you are S-on.

If you are already bootloader unlocked and custom recovery, just install one of the stock (or stockish) Sense 5 ROMs posted in Development. Flash like any other custom ROM.

What version of TWRP?

Going back to stock recovery has been asked so many times, I'm not going to bother answering. Try reading or doing a search.

TWRP 2.5.0.0.And I was trying for it for hours and couldn't find anything on reverting to stock recovery..I downloaded a ROM [stock] Sense 5 4.2.2
and even tried flashing it through recovery but it throws me the same error..

Its been discussed here countless times that TWRP 2.5.0.0 is buggy, and many ROMs will not install with it. Update to 2.6.0.0.

This is probably your main issue. Returning to stock recovery is a poor remedy.

Try downloading GooManager from the Play Market, and update TWRP that way.

I've tried CWM before, but only the official version, not Philz, so I can't comment on that.
