Stupid noob question about CWM and OTA

Hello guys,
Just a quick noob question to which I get different answers: If I flash from yakjuxw to yakju and choose to flash a custom recovery, will I be able to receive OTA updates?
Thanks in advance

You will receive them, but you won't be able to install them if your recover isn't stock.

To add to what Petrovski80 said, you wont be able to install the update over-the-air, but you will be able to install it by downloading it to /sdcard and rebooting into CWM and installing it from there.
EDIT: And in most cases, you will likely see the update here before you get it over-the-air on your device.

And if I have flashed mods/kernels through CWM and i install the update, will the mods be preserved or do I have to flash them again?

If you flash "mods/kernels", the update will NOT install. If you change any of the original stock files, the update will NOT install.

4.16.401.10 without wipe?

Hi,
sorry the dumb question, but my m8 its on 3.28.401.7 and want to update to 4.16.401.10.
it's possible without wipe data?
3.28.401.7, S-off, stock rom rooted.
Thanks.

If you're updating the firmware, using this thread, since you're s-off,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/development/firmware-flashing-panic-attacks-t2824048
Then no, nothing will be wiped. Though backing up first is always good practice, just in case.

Thanks for the reply.
The firmware i already update.
I'm in 3.28.401.9 (version-main) with stock rom 3.28.401.7.
What i want is flash the ota (OTA_M8_UL_L50_SENSE60_MR_HTC_Europe_4.16.401.10-3.28.401.9_R_release_4170047fkn8dusot1cw62h.zip) and be sure that internal memory is not wiped.
Like the "normal" OTA.
Thanks.

Then you'll need to have stock rom, stock recovery and no system alterations... Like xposed, or bloat uninstalled. Then, when it gets to you, the Ota should work.
As long as your recovery and system partitions are in order. ?

You can sideload it too, in the stock recovery.

The stock recovery dont have the adb sideloader option.
I removed xposedframework and root.
And when i try to apply the zip (0p6bimg.zip): "wrong zipped image!"

You need to be super CID to update firmware that way. And only firmware.... Not the Ota zip.
Unless I am misunderstanding? ?

But when i try to flash the OTA from stock recovery:
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
Installation aborted.
Write host_mode:0 done

Honestly, I've never taken an ota or flashed an ota zip... I've always been ahead of the game in every device. Including my M8.
With s-off, you simply super CID, use that firmware flashing thread I posted to update your firmware. Then flash a Lollipop based rom with your custom recovery. Very simple. And no need for an ota.
My device only just started getting the Ota a couple days ago, but I've been on Lollipop for weeks. ?
So there that way..... Otherwise I'm not sure what your issue is, since I've never done it like that myself. Sorry! ?

I just want to install lollipop without have to do backups
But enough of playing, I will install a custom rom
Thanks for the time anyway.

You should still update the firmware to run Lollipop roms. My not be absolutely necessary, but a good idea, to avoid issues.
Updating firmware is in that link above. Wipes nothing.
You realise though, Flashing a Lollipop ROM will require a clean install too... (meaning wipes) lol
Not your internal SD card.. Pics and that. But wiping data is required, so apps and data gone. So I'd backup! ?
Dirty flashing Lollipop (meaning no wiping first) is a bad idea. You're sure to have issues.
Basically, I'd backup everything regardless of what you do. Things go wrong sometimes in this hobby... And you could lose everything on your device.
Good luck!

not possible to update with custom recovery.
if u want to update, u have to flash full firmware and corresponded recovery.img via adb. Then u can manually apply the ota update.

If you have TWRP, you can't take OTAs.
If you want to go back to stock recovery, just flash the stock recovery.img via fastboot for whichever build you want to go back to (you can pull it from a stock ROM zip that can be downloaded from ASUS).
If you flash an OTA while your ROM is rooted, you'll likely lose root, but it really depends on what they update. Some phones manage to retain root after an OTA, but it all depends on what's written during the update.
Basically the idea is:
If you use a rooted/custom ROM, you don't EVER take an OTA. If you're 100% stock, then grab the OTA and be the first one with the fresh update. If you're rooted/custom, wait for a dev to release their ROM update that's flashable through TWRP.

If you try to apply an OTA with a modified /system, it will fail. You can modify the OTA to remove the integrity check.

OTA's and root

I'm thinking about doing the beta for 7.1... When I do it I will clean flash it, if I do this I will root and get twrp... can I take updates if I do this. I'm guessing not, but is there any way to update the os when there is a update without loosing my data.
Thanks,

Restore stock boot.img using bootloader/fastboot.
Apply OTA.
Reflash twrp.img using bootloader/fastboot.
Apply SuperSU.

Generally no, unless you run into issues with the update and you need to flash it from scratch.
