LG G STYLO Update ?

.

There is no flashable zip of the latest OTA update that I know of.

If you take the OTA, you could lose root/TWRP.
What I'm trying to say is that updating while twrp is intalled is bad? Because I have done this before and twrp seemed to flash the update its self then put me on a boot loop to twrp.

No definitive answer. If your phone is rooted (and custom recovery), you are not supposed to flash the OTA. It could:

1. Brick your phone (Stylos are hard to brick permanently)
2. Lose root
3. Lose root and recovery/TWRP
4. Boot loop
5. Make your phone act inconsistent.
6. Who knows what else


Each phone is different so do so at your own risk.

So it doesn't matter that I have twrp installed?

Nope. You run a good chance of bricking using the ota method of updating . twrp is a custom recovery . it is not for flashing stock factory firmware . the new flashing tool is LG Up . it installs factory kdz firmware on a phone that requires unbricking or changing a devices installed firmware version .
Either way you will lose root and have to set it up again.
