Are Radio/Firmware updates included in the latest Roms?

I've had mine Rooted with a custom recovery and a custom rom for months now, I was just wondering when the Sense 4.3 comes will it update everything for me as I cannot get OTA? If not, what do I have to do to get OTA back? Do I just have to install an official rom and recovery img? I'm guessing rooting doesn't stop OTA as I was able to OTA in the past on another phone with it rooted.
thanx.

If you're not updating via OTA, then you're only updating ROM. Firmware and radio can be updated manually if you are s-off or if there's a firmware package that matches your CID and MID.
Flashing back to a stock ROM and recovery will allow you to accept OTA, then you can reroot and reflash custom ROM.

A question about upgrading stock rom on a rooted phone.

Hi, If I have a rooted phone, how do I update the rom? I have the stock rom. I guess you have to download the update and install it like you would any rom, but would this format my phone?

If you have a rooted stock rom, you will be able to receive update notifications from Sony and you can update using the offical methods.
However, the update will install the new stock rom without root, as this is not supported by the manufacturer.
There are some tricks to maintain root during an update, but there is no guarantee it will work.
(search xda forums)
FYI, for the current 4.3 stock release for V and T, there is a "one-click" root method.
Check this .

I can't update whilst rooted, the update fails to install. I would need to unroot before updating via the official method.

SuperSU has an option to remove root from your rom.
You can try that and see if the rom update works.

[HELP] OTA update

So I am running: CM12.1 Snapshot release on an XT1092. Just realized OTA update for Android 6.0 was released globally. Is there a way for me to receive that update through OTA. Help would be appreciated.
Edit: Currently I don't have access to a Computer.
Using this thread to flash back to stock rom.

You need a PC to flash back to stock ROM by Motorola. After then, you can update via OTA.

[help?] Updating from AOE2 to 6.0.1 PC2?

How can I upgrade from Android 5.0.2 AOE2?
I tried to search and couldn't find anything that made me confident enough.
It sounds like I would need to flash back to stock (am on custom ROM) and then flash the updates one at the time using Odin or adb. I'm not sure what update to start with and/or if I can do it in a way that maintains root access.
These are the only two threads I found but neither mention coming from AOE2 or custom ROMs.

I would start with the first link you have odin to oj7. If you are on at&t you can do updates on the network after that to get to marshmallow.

I just updated from rooted 5.02 OE2 all the way to 6.0.1. Yes, you have to flash back to stock and then you can update OTA to 5.1.1 then to 6.0.1. I used the odin files here to flash to stock.

Have you changed the recovery?
To update officially you need to be on stock recovery

Better whole stock ROM. Even after an unroot you'll never know what apps like kingoroot have changed in the system.
Flash complete stock ROM or better forget the ota and flash stock MM directly.
