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.

Can someone tell me what's the difference between the OTA Update to JB vs. flashing the .zip from the firmware dowload section on the Asus site? The OTA update is a patch I assume, and the .zip is a full ROM image?
Is there an advantage to using one over the other?
Thanks
I'm also curious as to how this is. I downloaded the JB update zip from asus website. Like before I unzipped it and placed in /sdcard . I was notified of an update, I clicked it and it rebooted into my custom recovery instead of flashing it like it did from .26 to .30 . Did I flash CWM (NONTOUCH JB compatible version) just a little to early?
Here is the OTA file and extracted firmware

HTC_Asia_WWE_2.24.707.1 Firmware
Can someone merge this with the older 1.29 rom and come up with a full stock rom
Note: this is not a custom full rom just the OTA file
An older RUU is here

This is not full firmware just the ota do not flash it if u don't know what it does. I don't think it will allow u to flash it if yr phone model id does not match
I posted it so that someone can do a merge and come up with a full flashable rom
Ok does anyone cab make a full stock ruu from this??
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 a pure stock 5.0.1 zip for the Nexus 5? Basically a zip version of the OTA update. I'm rooted with a custom recovery so I can't do the OTA. I was looking around but couldn't find it.

You're not going to find an ota zip that works in a custom recovery. Flash the stock recovery then sideload the ota zip in it. You'll have to re-root and reinstall the custom recovery.

You will never be able to flash an OTA again if you modified your device in any way. One of the biggest changes for Lollipop that no one noticed.

Interesting. I normally just flash factory images or a custom ROM.

You will still be able to flash the factory image when it becomes available.
Anyone can suggest what upgrade I should choose and which one is more stable? I want to root my phone as well so if anyone with the official Marshmallow update can give me a good reason to upgrade from 5.0.2 I'd really appreciate it.
Besides sense 7 is there anything else to look forward to in Marshmallow for HTC?
Also anyone with the Marshmallow GPE Rom or Viper M8 please share your experiences with the roms.
For the first time I'm having trouble deciding what to flash on my E8 thanks to all the devs!
I tried everything, and - offical 6.0.1 is better choise. There is best camera. They really updated drivers or libs, i don't know. Stock ROM + custom kernel it's always good. All custom ROM's here is based on older firmwares.

How did you Root and get the custom kernel (without the system write protection) on Marshmallow? Same as how you'd do it on 5.0.x?
Yes, my 6.0.1 rooted, but custom kernel not exist this time. We waiting.

Would you please explain how to root your E8 6.0.1? I prefer to get just root without installing custom recovery, so I can backup stock recovery using flashify just in case for future OTA.
i dont know about way like this. In future u can extract stock recovery from OTA package, that u gonna receive. This always works.
I've flashed supersu 2.67 via recovery.

I received OTA and installed it directly. I forgot to backup the OTA file first so I don't have a chance anymore to extract the stock recovery. I tried to downgrade to 5.02 but always failed.

Downgrading is easy. You need to flash TWRP recovery via fastboot. Do not need full root. ERASE everying. The flash lollipop RUU via external SD.

I have M8SW and it is S-ON, it currently running BinDroid ONE V1.3.0 Android 4.4.4. I'm thinking about trying marshmallow ROM but I've read that is hard to downgrade to Kitkat once the firmware has been upgraded to higher version. But you said above it is easy to downgrade, can you please provide me with the steps to downgrade from marshmallow to kitkat rom. Thanks
