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.
How do I OTA weekly updates if I'm rooted? Last time I tried that my magisk was removed and I couldnt flashed it afterwards / my device bootlooped.
I posted a while back in February about how I was unable to install the December Security OTA Update on my XT1710-01 RETUS, but I didn't get any responses. I believe that I have learned that this is due to the fact that I have unlocked my bootloader and rooted with Magisk (however I have not flashed TWRP or a custom recovery, if that makes a difference).
It looks like some other users had this issue too, and that some of you were able to get by with flashing a different Stock ROM in to get back to Stock and then flashing the OTA update.
Is that what I need to do in order to be able to flash my OTA updates in the future? Is there any other method aside from flashing the ROMs to get the updates too install on my phone?
Hi,
would like to ask some question.
Currently i am on october ota android 10 with sultan kernel
How do i update my pixel with November OTA.
Are there any shortcut to update the OTA without wiping my data.
Thanks.
Flash Nov. factory image without -w (wiping), then boot to twrp and reflash kernel followed with magisk
Thats what i did and what i usually do to update every month, im in same situation as yours, stock october firmware with sultan kernel
All data and apps and magisk modules stay the same as they are
I received an OTA patch security for aljeter xt1922-5 retbr. The package is identified as PPPS29.55.35.12-3. I don't know if there's anyone working on a sideload package of this that I could flash with twrp. The device has only partition A to boot.
twrp and magisk were installed on factory rom 8.1, oreo and the pie upgrade OTA went smoothly, overwriting twrp for the recovery stock and magisk, I just had to install magisk zip and twrp again later. But this is just a security paych and it won't even have boot and recovery partitions included, as far as I know. so if I'm correct about that, it won't be able to "auto apply" like the previous one, so:
is twrp able to flash the patch?
can I just roll back to stock and apply the OTA?
finally, is there a way to install this update without all the work of reverting to stock recovery and stock ROM via ADB?
I've read similar topics for other model versions here on XDA, but still can't be sure about this issue. I read reports of users who were able to flash OTA with twrp and others not. How should I proceed? I really do not wish to risk brick the device.
