When this OTA come's out would we be able to just flash rom's like normal on the stock ota? Or would rom's and themes have to be compatible? And when will there be a SBF for this?

are they safe to install? ive never been able to get into recovery since i updated so will the OTA be able to boot into some form of stock recovery and install safely?
Is there any way to change an ota update into a flashable rom for twrp? I have downloaded the updat and pulled it from my phone.
Is there anyway to integrate the OTA zip into the stock firmware zip?

Ota patches a lot of system files despite a little size
So, if someone makes flashable zip it will look like a ROM based on stock 4.4.2
I doubt if somebody will do this
I would say make yourself a flashable zip with recovery.
Install Stock patch it to latest update, Backup.......voila.
Hey everyone,
So for the past couple of days I've been getting the notification that 5.1.1 has been downloaded and is ready to install, but I'm running a rooted stock ROM with CWM and ElementalX kernel, so I wasn't sure what would happen if I accepted the update. So my question to you all is just that; what will happen if I OTA update? I would imagine I'll lose root access and have to re-root, but would the OTA also flash a stock kernel and get rid of CWM? Or will the update create a load of problems since I'm not completely stock?
Thanks in advance for your help.
The OTA update will fail.
As of Lollipop, you have to have everything completely stock (including the recovery) to take an OTA update. You're better off just flashing another pre-rooted ROM or custom ROM which has been updated to 5.1.1.

I have an S7 with an S8 port ROM and was wondering if you can update it to the latest firmware version. If so how do I update it?
No OTA with custom
Flash stock if you want OTA
