how to manual install OTA update and app2sd

Hey,
When i first got my desire, one of the first things i did to it was root it and install the blank generic HTC rom (to get rid of all the crap my service provider had put on it). However, as its rooted i cant install the OTA update over the air. So ive downloaded the latest one from this forum but how to i install just the update exactly? Actually, i think i just downloaded the non root OTA update, is there a rooted 1.21... update somewhere?
Also, when i initially put the new rom on my phone, i didnt put app2sd on there as i heard about all these phones being bricked and didnt want to lose my nice new shiny desire, but ive heard this problem is now solved. How do i go about installing it now? Do i have to reflash everything or can i just install it over the top as if its an app itself somehow?
so to summarise:
1. how to install OTA manually
2. How to install App2sd
Thanks for you help

[Q] Difficulties Upgrading to Lollipop

Hi, first of all I want to say that I am relatively new to android and therefore only have a basic understanding of everything. My desire EYE is currently on 4.4.4 rooted and have been having problems upgrading it to 5.0, I know I have to unroot and return to stock in order to be able to flash the stock recovery and be able to then flash lollipop on there. Problem is whenever I flash one of the stock 4.4.4's found on here superuser installer is still there (even when I tell to TWRP to not install it) and when I got to the bootloader is still says that the software is Modified so am still unable to flash the stock recovery and get lollipop.
Can anybody help shed some light on this problem and possibly help me fix it?

Hi there,
I have found I was able to update using the procedure written in this topic. Could you see if that helps you?

Thanks for your reply but have already tried this and when I tried booting into the recovery menu it gave me the red triangle because I have modified system partition, and all my efforts so far to change it to official have so far been unsuccessful
In fact tried it again and it worked this time, however when I try and download the update on my phone a message pop's up saying my phone can't be updated because the software is modified and not official HTC firmware

[Help] Rooting desire 820n single sim a51ul

Hey guys
As I searched these threads i didnt see anyone talking about how to root the Desire 820n a51ul model(single sim)
So please help me with these questions:
1.how to root this model?(and if there is any driver needed on pc or sth)
2.how to install twrp recovery?
3.lets assume i rooted my device, will i be able to do the official ota update like before?(from settings)
i mean doesnt it brick my device if I update it while im rooted?
4.and if it wont brick the device, will i still be rooted?(i guess not)
so in one sentence, I want to have a rooted phone with custom recovery but I dont want to install any custom rom or ruu and just want to update through settings-software updates setion like before, is it possible?!
current firmware: 2.10.401.4 lollipop latest update for single sim variant D820n a51ul

Have fun!
P.S: After you root your phone, as far as I know you can't upgrade your phone via OTA mode, I tried it and now I have a bricked phone. But there's way instead. So don't worry, just remember to make the backup before you want to do sth, so that your phone will be safe.

thank you for the info my friend
btw as you have the same model as mine, how does it perform in intensive games like asphalt 8?(mine does very bad on high quality settings and heats up really bad)
I wish they clocked the cpu on 1.7ghz...
