Stock rom? Custom recovery? Has your device received the OTA? The actual OTA zip should be in /cache if you received it on your device or you can download it from here. You will need a custom recovery to install/flash it, I personally use TWRP. You will also need the supersu installable zip on your device, you will need to install/flash it with your custom recovery. The OTA will cause you to lose the supersu binary which is why you will need to install the supersu zip.
The more info you give when asking a question will help in getting a worthwhile response.

No. OTA updates require stock recovery. However, you can revert to stock recovery and unroot as you please. Also, you can flash OTA updates through TWRP once a flashable zip is made, except you have to download it and flash it manually, just like installing a custom ROM. Cheers.

I received the last update through OTA on a rooted Stock ROM with TWRP installed.
After the install was finished TWRP asked if I wanted to restore the root. All went smoothly.
To clarify.. I did not flash the ROM. I used the normal OTA update.

I believe you can on small point updates. The full update from 4.3 to 4.4 most likely won't work with a custom recovery.

you must have stock /system folder + stock recovery
you can be rooted, by if you delete some files in /system - you break your ota
new ota will be with new radio too
after ota super-su apk will be removed by the ota

i restored /system apps from sdcard before 4.3 ota and migrate very well from 4.2.2
The ota 4.3 update removed my root and Twrp. Hope 4.4 doesn't do the same. It's always a pain for me to restore root with my Windows 7 laptop. It keeps installing the wrong usb drivers which get in the way of the wugfresh toolkit access to the nexus 7. So it's no easy task for me.
Hi guys, as tittle say I am new at this, now I have root and recovery but I want to update via ota and because of root and recovery, I think, ota doesn't flash. How can I get latest official android, I believe it is 4.4.4, and, if it possible, don't loose root and recovery? Is there a way? If don't, where and how can I get latest android and root and recovery on latest version?

I am S-ON and looking to upgrade from stock 4.4.2 to 4.4.3 but have TWRP recovery. Can anyone recommend the easiest way to do this? I keep getting the OTA system update prompt, which I downloaded, would I be able to just flash that zip using TWRP? Thanks

You need stock recovery, not TWRP.

So the easiest way would just be flash stock recovery, then do the OTA update
Yes, but if it doesn't work, you'll need to flash a stock ROM. Some apps are removed when you unlock at that makes the OTA fail.
I'm on stock rooted Sense --401.4 and I want to update to --401.5 version. I have s-off, and custom recovery, and am rooted.
Although I have a constant "system update" notification on my notification bar, I really cannot update because of the custom recovery. Is there any fully stock version of the latest ROM available which I can flash to update? Mike1986 hasn't provided it yet. Is there any other way to update easily? I really don't want to switch to custom ROMs for the update, and I really don't want to factory reset my phone right now.
Is there any way we can flash OTA update .zips? If yes, I really cannot find them on XDA, so can anyone guide me to them (and a guide on how to flash them?). Thank you.
You can flash stock recovery.img and then perform Update. İ tried and it is working. But you lose root. After Update Flash Custom recovery and supersu zip.

Thanks, I'll try this
Hello, I want to flash TWRP on my SM-G990B. But I'm not planning to flash any rom/gsi yet and more likely to stay in stock OneUI. If I get an OTA update will that install if I have TWRP installed as recovery?
I wondering too
