How do you get OTA Updates after, let's say, you unlocked bootloader, installed a custom kernel and a custom ROM?
Flash manually.

There's no other way? Like reverting back to stock completely?

You can get Sony OTA updates by reverting to stock and relocking bootloader. Custom ROMs usually don't provide OTA updates, though some do it via goo.im or ROM Manager.

I was rooted with stock 4.0.3 and unrooted so I could do the OTA update. Now, unrooted, TWRP is interruping the OTA update on the install. How can I remove TWRP?
Thanks!
You aren't fully unrooted.
Also, I would highly suggest just flashing the updated ROM. You should never unroot in order to take an ota and then reroot

I've read mixed opinions on this. Many Dev's have said just to unroot using the TWRP, then install the OTA, which is what I tried, and now TWRP opens up in the install process. As far as still being rooted, I cannot do anything that requires root, so I assume I am unrooted.
I prefer to OTA update. I've had too many issues with updated rooted ROM's in the past, so I would rather not flash a ROM.
I dont think removing twrp will do anything for you. You need the stock recovery to flash an OTA. You would need to RUU to stock after relocking your BL and then take the OTA if thats what you wanna do. Unless there is a stock recovery floating around to flash in twrp. In the past for every phone I have every tried you need the stock recovery to flash the OTA update.

Bad idea. What Roms are you using? There are fully stock rooted Roms available that the only difference is they are rooted. That is the only coding or programming difference. You are spending a lot of time dong something that doesn't need to be done. You can get everything you need from a stock odexed rooted ROM. Plus you having to wipe the slate clean on your phone each time there is an ota.

Nobody is answering your question because they don't want you to unroot...smh
Just flash the stock recovery. Make sure that first you're on an odexed ROM, then flash the stock recovery, then search for the OTA update and install it.

Know anywhere I can find the stock recovery? I'll have to go back and re-root the phone as well, since I am unrooted at this point.

im no expert, so dont quote me on this, but from my understanding, and what apple was doing and just about everyother device ive had that had software updates (ps3,psp) when u do the stock rom update it will install over the rom and you will lose your custom rom.
If you switch from the stock rom to a custom rom, you will NOT receive official firmware updates anymore... so as long as you don't go and download a stock rom and install it manually, your phone will continue to run the custom rom until you update / change it...

Most likely a dev will go ahead and release a flashable version of any updates so you can still effectively get updates despite not being stock.
I want to update my phone but I have TWRP as my custom recovery, is there any way to install the update from there? Or do I need to get the stock recovery back?

You have to be stock to install the OTA update. If you want to wait, I am sure there will be a flashable zip of the stock ROM in the Developer forum.

Is it likely that this flashable zip will also include any kernel and radio updates that the OTA update has?

You can update the firmware now as it has been posted already to get the new radio. Kernel is part of the ROM and/or a flashable Zip.
So according to this thread, a custom recovery makes it so you can't get an OTA.
Does that mean i have to flash a stock recovery? and because i removed some stock apps, i have to flash a stock rom too?

Well after wandering here n there behind ROMs for a month or so im now looking for OTA update 5.1. As im in india and motorola has already announced it here so it can land anytime. As i told i was on custom ROMs and fairly i had custom recovery and unlocked bootloader, will i have an OTA or i need to do something with my device??
Im on stock rom now.
I asked same to motorola guys but they didnt seemed to know anything.
So i have one straight qs.
Will i be able to get OTA despite having unlocked bootloader, custom recovery and root?
You need stock ROM, stock recovery and a. Unroofed phone to receive OTA.
From Customer Support motorola
If You are unlocked your bootloader you can get OTA update !
If you are rooted your device you cant get OTA update.
So, Revert to Stock ROM, and Unroot your Device to Get OTA.
