[Q] Problem OTA recovery mode.

I'm stuck. I got the new HTC One (m9) and went through the procedure of installing TWRP. I got it all up and running and made a complete backup of my vanilla system. Then a few days later, I get a OTA! I didn't know that you couldn't install OTA's after you had Rooted and installed a different Custom Recovery app. So I searched the Internet for ways to install the OTA. Seems you have to revert the Custom Recovery (In my case, TWRP) back to the original OEM Recovery app. I haven't got a backup of the recovery partition, nor do I have a copy of the App. I found a few sites that claimed they had copies of the appropriate recovery app for my phone (A, T-mobile HTC One (M9).

I looked up varying pieces of information like my Android version 5.0.2, presently 1.32.531.25. (The Update being 1.32.531.33) cid: T-MOB010 and other numbers that I have no idea what they apply too. After about 20 attempts, trying about five different so called 'recovery images' I managed to install one. Then went to my Update procedure and downloaded the update about 6 something MB's. My phone rebooted into the another mode and after a few minutes I was informed that my phone had tried to install a Verizon Update or something like that. I'm a T-mobile user??? What could of happened. I'm guessing there's some link between the recovery img and this issue. As I cant see T-mobile giving me a Verizon update? I believe I must have the wrong recovery.img. However for all my searching I cannot find one categorically and specifically for the T-mobile HTC One (M9). Plenty of M8 stuff though. :cowboy:
