OTA problem with rooted android.

I have rooted my Lenovo A 7000, installed CWM recovery, deleted some bloarware. The, I reverted back to stock recovery. Now when i try to update the OTA, it fails everytime. What can I do to receive and update the OTA?

Re: OTA problem with rooted android.

I believe the OTA will fail if the bloatware is removed as it's seen as a modified system. I seem t recall reading that in the past for other devices and that if you wanted to receive any OTA you had to leave the "bloatware" and just freeze it so it wouldn't run or update.

I can't speak for your phone, but when I rooted my S5 and removed all bloatware, I just unrooted and did an OTA for lollipop.
