Hello,

I have a HTC one M8 from Orange(if that is something you'd like to know)

I rooted it a couple of months ago,being amazed by the number of new things you could do with a rooted phone. What I didn't take into account is that it doesn't let you recieve OTA updates. I replaced the stock recovery with TWRP and used superSU. Once I decided that I didn't want to remain with android 5.0.1,I pressed the "unroot" option in superSU's app. The thing is that I didn't know that it did not replace the TWRP with the stock recovery.

Yesterday,I recieved a notification from andriod,asking me to download the 6.0 update. I downloaded it,pressed install and the phone rebooted into TWRP. It didn't start the update,but It says in the TWRP "log" or whatever that E: failed to sysMapFile 'somethingsomething' and it failed to install the same file.

I checked bootloader and my phone is unlocked and with S-on

I am scared to do anything right now. I don't wanna brick my phone. I'm not sure if I want to replace the TWRP recovery not because of fear of losing the root,but because of fear of bricking the device completely. I also don't know about flashing the OTA update form my computer.

Any suggestions?I don't care if I lose the root,I just want my 6.0 update c:

(inb4 "ur stupid for rooting without knowing what you're doing". I know)
 
I think your problem may be related to the custom recovery. You may need to go back to stock. I can't post links so search for "htc-one-m8-stock-recovery-verizon-sprint-att-tmobile.html"
